Ren Feng stood in place, looking at the two people who appeared, without any expression on his face, but he was extremely vigilant in his heart. There was no doubt, according to Thorn's scheming, it was impossible to casually engage in this confrontation with him.

Because she knew very well that she was not his match, even with Laine, the two of them together were absolutely not his opponent.

"Are you sure?" Ren Feng asked calmly.

"Of course." Thorn had a faint smile on her face, "Today, this place will be your burial ground."

Laine also stepped down and stood beside Thorn, looking venomously at Ren Feng, with a gaze full of desire to kill.

"I don't know where your confidence comes from, but even together you are not my opponent," Ren Feng said indifferently, "But our grudges are our own. Where is the person you captured?"

For Ren Feng, Xia Wenxue's safety was the most important thing tonight. Only by ensuring her safety could he fight Thorn and Laine.

"Don't worry, she's my ultimate bargaining chip, very safe." Thorn's lips curled into a cold smile, "What you should worry about now is yourself, don't let yourself fall before you get to see her."

"You should let me see her first." Ren Feng remained unmoved.

Thorn sneered, "King of Mercenaries, I've been by your side for so long, do you think I'd let you see her now?"

Ren Feng said nothing, his face as calm as water, but the killing intent in his heart was incredibly strong.

To kill him, Thorn had been lurking beside him for several years; her scheming was truly terrifying!

"Don't worry, defeat us and you'll see her." Thorn slowly retracted the whip in her hand, "This is the fourth round of the game, according to your words, I call this round, the reckoning."

"Generally speaking, this game will only have four rounds because you will die in this round." There was a cold smile on Thorn's face, looking somewhat sinister.

Ren Feng said nothing, slowly walking towards the two of them.

The meaning was obvious, if there was going to be a fight, then let it be a fight. As for who would die, these two combined were not his match, but according to Thorn's cunning nature, Ren Feng remained cautious in his heart.

"Ren Feng, today I'll send you to hell as per God's instructions!" Laine shouted, holding a weapon and charging at Ren Feng.

Thorn also dashed over from the side, before getting close, she raised her left hand, and several poison needles shot towards Ren Feng, but without exception, they were all dodged by Ren Feng.

Laine swung his cross sword down at Ren Feng, but Ren Feng neither dodged nor avoided, wrapping his left fist with True Qi, and directly punched forward.

With a bang, Laine, along with his sword, flew backward.

Thorn's whip also lashed over, the barbs on it extremely sharp, but Ren Feng just lightly tapped his foot, his body flexibly swaying left and right, effortlessly dodging the whip.

In the moment the whip recoiled, Ren Feng lightly tapped his foot and instantly charged in, then punched out. Fortunately, Thorn reacted quickly, retreating rapidly, or else this punch would have severely injured her.

Ren Feng pointed his posture, chasing forward, his eyes full of killing intent, determined to take advantage of this opportunity to kill her.

Laine, charging from the side, didn't even look. When Laine's attack came, Ren Feng raised his hand and struck, forcing him back, then quickly closing in on Thorn.

Thorn's face turned gloomy, why hadn't his poisoning taken effect yet?

But just as Ren Feng charged with all his might, his expression suddenly changed, as a strange energy suddenly appeared within him!

This inexplicable energy emerged in his body, and with this chaotic energy, Ren Feng felt extremely weak, as if about to be paralyzed.

This change happened very quickly, and the energy began to spread within his body.

The True Qi within Ren Feng automatically surged towards the energy, trying to expel it.

But strangely, this energy ignored Ren Feng's True Qi.

What's going on?

Ren Feng's face changed, and due to this sudden occurrence in his body, his aura became disordered, interrupting his attack rhythm.

Thorn immediately noticed this, and her eyes suddenly erupted with a sharp gleam, no longer dodging but attacking directly.

"Snap"

The whip cracked loudly, lashing towards Ren Feng, while Laine also swung his sword at him.

Ren Feng, who was about to fight back, suddenly felt as if his arm was weak, unable to release True Qi, almost out of control.

Ren Feng retreated rapidly, but Laine and Thorn were relentless, furiously attacking him.

The whip cracked loudly, and Laine's attacks also came in quick succession, the cross sword in his hand even forming sword flowers.

Damn, what's going on?

Ren Feng's face was extremely gloomy.

"Dear Feng, are you wondering what's going on inside your body?" The smile on Purple Thorn's face carried a hint of malice, but it was all laced with venom.

"That's because you've been poisoned by me." Purple Thorn's whip lashed out viciously, and this time, due to the situation in his body, Ren Feng couldn't dodge it. A blood hole and a bloodstain appeared instantly where he was hit.

Poisoned?

Seeing Ren Feng's somewhat surprised expression, Purple Thorn sneered repeatedly, "The forest earlier was already infused with my specially concocted poison incense. Of course, that poison incense didn't have much effect on you, but when combined with the blood inside the hyena before, even if you're the king of mercenaries, it will knock you down!"

"The hyena was injected with poison, and when it exploded, its blood splattered on you, combining with the lingering poison incense on your body to form this toxin."

Purple Thorn's eyes were filled with a sense of satisfaction from being in control. She had waited too long for this day.

Laine was also laughing heartily from the side, his attacks becoming increasingly fierce and broad.

Looking at Ren Feng, who seemed barely able to hold on, Purple Thorn's voice carried an air of triumph, "Dear Feng, don't you know that all these steps of mine are interlinked? I had predicted you would enter the forest, and the third step was to use the bomb inside the hyena to combine the blood with the poison incense, ensuring that you would be poisoned."

Ren Feng remained silent. The situation inside his body was indeed dire; the energy was somewhat beyond imagination. Under normal circumstances, he could have expelled the toxin himself, but this situation was precisely what Purple Thorn and her accomplice had been waiting for.

"Well then, dear Feng, this game round is coming to an end. I promised I would kill you with my own hands!" Purple Thorn said coldly.

Ren Feng's gaze was extremely indifferent, "Is that so?"

Purple Thorn sneered, "Don't hold on any longer. I know the effects of the poison I developed better than anyone. Just a while longer, and you'll be spent."

A flicker of killing intent appeared in Ren Feng's eyes. Suddenly, his left hand struck several acupoints on his body, causing the True Qi that originally flowed along his meridians to momentarily cease, then began to circulate frantically as if ignited!

Moreover, not following the usual meridian pathways, this True Qi surged into unconventional meridians.

This was a trump card taught by the old man – burning True Qi, reversing meridians, thereby gaining immense power for a short time.

Ren Feng's aura suddenly surged upward, and the wild killing intent erupted once more with this surge of energy.

The poisonous energy that had been rampaging within his body was forcefully suppressed by the True Qi at this moment, curling up into a corner of his body, unable to stir any more trouble.

Laine wore a wild smile on his face, and Purple Thorn's face was filled with pride, but it was at this moment that Ren Feng's aura exploded around him!

What happened?

Laine's expression froze, and Purple Thorn's face was also full of disbelief, while Ren Feng's attack came crashing towards them, the overwhelming True Qi thickening even the air, giving a sense of being unstoppable.

"Pfft!"

With just one palm strike, Laine, along with his sword, traced an arc in the air and crashed heavily into the aged beam, which shattered with a crack!

Laine fell to the ground, his face full of disbelief, and a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.

Purple Thorn was also unable to withstand such a powerful Ren Feng; her whip slipped from her hand, and Ren Feng grabbed it, returning a lash that struck Purple Thorn!

Slap!

A crisp sound echoed, and Purple Thorn was momentarily dazed. The next second, she felt a terrifying sense of danger rushing towards her.

In front of her was an unassuming palm, but this palm, laden with surging True Qi, seemed to have sealed all her escape routes!

This palm strike was a killing blow!

For Ren Feng, it was also a palm of fury. He wanted to kill Purple Thorn!

Purple Thorn's face was filled with fear, but her reaction was swift. She forced herself to sidestep slightly, and then the palm landed on her shoulder.

Purple Thorn seemingly lost all sensation in her shoulder, while Ren Feng seemed so powerful it felt suffocating.

Bang!

Purple Thorn fell to the ground, vomiting a mouthful of blood.

Watching Ren Feng approach, fear flashed in the eyes of both Purple Thorn and Laine.

"Poisoned?" A hint of disdain flashed in Ren Feng's eyes, "I can still kill you!"

That was only one round, yet Purple Thorn and Laine were sent flying backward together, clearly not Ren Feng's match.

Purple Thorn spit out another mouthful of blood. Wiping the blood from her mouth, she looked coldly at Ren Feng, "Of course, I'm not your match, but if you dare to take another step forward, I can guarantee you won't see your Lady CEO!"

Ren Feng's steps came to an abrupt halt.
