My Sexy Female CEO

After a dozen moves, Brother Scorpion began to falter; his strength had always been inferior to Lin Yifan's, and it was impressive that he had held on for so long. Now, his right hand was in severe pain and he could hardly bear it any longer.

"Damn it! I can't keep going head-to-head with him," Brother Scorpion cursed under his breath.

He knew that in terms of strength alone, he was definitely no match for Lin Yifan; if the fight dragged on, he would be the loser.

So, he started to look for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

At this moment, Zhao Ritian, who was watching the battle from a distance, saw the members of the Knife Gang being steadily defeated and couldn't help feeling panicked; if even the Knife Gang was no match, then he was doomed.

"Calm down, calm down! Brother Scorpion is incredibly strong; that young brat definitely can't compete. There's no need to be afraid or worried," Zhao Ritian reassured himself.

Only by doing so could he stabilize his own frantic heart.

Throughout their long engagement, Lin Yifan had kept a wary eye on Brother Scorpion's every move. He suspected that the other must have some secret weapon, which was why he dared to fight for so long; otherwise, he would have fled long ago.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!"

After a few more exchanges, Brother Scorpion still couldn't find the right moment to unleash his deadly move; in desperation, he had to ask his subordinates for assistance.

"Anyone who can move, throw your flying knives now," Brother Scorpion shouted while fending off Lin Yifan's attacks.

Upon hearing his command, those of his men lying on the ground who could still move quickly took out their sharp flying knives and, with the last bit of strength in their bodies, hurled them.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!"

In an instant, countless flying knives shot toward him like a hail of bullets, coming from all directions, sealing off Lin Yifan's avenues of escape.

Lin Yifan braced himself, took the situation seriously, and knocked down any flying knives that threatened him; for those that didn't pose a threat, he used the cultivation power within his body to fend them off. At the same time, he remained vigilant against Brother Scorpion, trying to avoid being hit.

However, since he was distracted dealing with the flying knives, he inevitably exposed vulnerabilities.

Brother Scorpion seized on this, quickly took out the black flying knife hidden in his clothes, and, using all his strength, threw it.

"Whoosh!"

The black flying knife moved with incredible speed, like lightning, reaching Lin Yifan in an instant.

Sensing the danger, Lin Yifan, without a second thought, also used all his strength to throw an ordinary knife he had just caught.

"Whoosh!"

"Clang!"

The next moment, the two knives collided, sparking brilliantly, and a clear clashing sound rang out.

Ultimately, the black knife continued its trajectory while the ordinary knife was deflected off course, shooting away.

"Breaking Mortal Fourth Realm! As I thought," Lin Yifan was shocked; he hadn't expected his opponent to possess such a powerful hidden weapon.

The power of the Breaking Mortal Fourth Realm was not on the same level as that of the Breaking Mortal Three Realm; even though his realm had reached the peak of the Breaking Mortal Three Realm, he still could not stop the power of the Breaking Mortal Fourth Realm.

Seeing the flying knife about to reach his abdomen, Lin Yifan was extremely anxious; now, he was sure he couldn't evade it—because in the next second, the knife would be upon him.

"What should I do? I don't want to die this early," Lin Yifan thought frantically.

The black knife undoubtedly carried a deadly poison; even a minor injury could be lethal, let alone being pierced through. At this moment, he had no choice but to pin his hopes on the black bead in his heart; perhaps now, only the black bead could save him.

"Humph!" Scorpion Brother across from him snorted coldly, as if he had just seen a rotting corpse about to fall.

On the other side, Zhao Ritian only saw a spark flare up before noticing the look of panic on Lin Yifan's face. He guessed that Scorpion Brother must have made a deadly move; otherwise, Lin Yifan, who had been at an advantage, would not have shown such an expression.

"Phew! It seems Scorpion Brother is indeed awesome," Zhao Ritian sighed with admiration.

The battle had truly scared him to death; he really thought the little knife on their side would lose; but fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

Lin Yifan, in danger, had no choice but to stand still and wait for the final outcome.

Just when he thought the black bead was about to make its move, a mysterious force swiftly swept in from the side and struck the black flying knife heading straight for him.

With a "bang," the black flying knife was deflected and ended up shooting into a tree nearby.

"What! It was knocked away? How is that possible?" Scorpion Brother gaped in disbelief, unable to accept this reality.

In theory, that kid at the peak of the Breaking Mortal Third Realm shouldn't have the strength to counter a black flying knife with the power of the Breaking Mortal Fourth Realm, right? Why had this happened?

"Could it be... that kid has some master backing him up?"

Thinking this, Scorpion Brother panicked; he immediately threw a smoke bomb and quickly fled.

Even a black flying knife with the power of the Breaking Mortal Fourth Realm could be easily deflected, a strength definitely not within his capability to confront; therefore, running was the best strategy.

Seeing Scorpion Brother, who had been so cocky just a moment ago, run away in such a panic, the bewildered Zhao Ritian had no choice but to escape as well.

Although he didn't know what had happened, since Scorpion Brother had left, there was no reason for him to stay.

On the other side, Lin Yifan was also stunned; he too didn't know where the power that had deflected the black flying knife, speeding toward him, had come from.

However, it was more urgent to pursue the fleeing enemies now; he could ponder this question later.

A few seconds' delay might give the enemies enough time to get far away; however, even if he couldn't catch Scorpion Brother, he had to catch Zhao Ritian, the bastard who had deceived him.

Breaking out of the smoke-covered area, Lin Yifan, as expected, found no trace of Scorpion Brother; however, he did spot Zhao Ritian.

At that moment, Zhao Ritian was sprinting toward a sports car parked by the roadside, seemingly trying to escape in the vehicle.

"Thinking of running? Not so easy!" Lin Yifan used his cultivation power to speed up, not giving Zhao Ritian the chance to drive away.

Glancing back and seeing Lin Yifan rushing towards him, Zhao Ritian ran desperately in an attempt to drive off before Lin Yifan could reach him.

But he was injured and didn't have the boost of cultivation power, so he ran extremely slowly.

Watching Lin Yifan quickly close in from behind, he began to panic.

"No, please! Don't catch up!" he prayed desperately, to no avail.

Within three seconds, Lin Yifan had caught up to him.

"Damn you, stop running!" Lin Yifan kicked Zhao Ritian from behind, toppling him; then he dragged Zhao Ritian into a small grove nearby.

After finding a secluded spot, he let go of Zhao Ritian and let him fall to the ground; then he asked, "Do you want to die, or do you want to live?"

"Big brother! Of course, I want to live!" Zhao Ritian answered nervously.
