An open attack is easy to dodge, but a hidden arrow is hard to defend against.

To anyone, a meticulously organized and premeditated assassination is extremely dangerous.

From the moment the other party made a move until now, Su Fan, although countering and resolving one crisis after another,

the danger was not yet over, and he still needed to face unknown troubles.

After the incident at the Liu Sheng house, the Kawabata family didn't react immediately, not because they didn't take it seriously.

On the contrary, the top management of the Kawabata family took this matter very seriously.

Their lack of immediate response was meant to lull Su Fan into a false sense of security.

To give Su Fan the wrong idea, thinking that they wouldn't pursue this matter.

But in reality, it was impossible for them not to pursue this matter.

So, this time the Kawabata family sent two Gang Qi Realm experts and four peak Transformation Realm warriors.

They planned to join forces with Master Fu Zan of the Esoteric Sect to make Su Fan disappear from this world completely.

The forest Su Fan entered was far from the roadside.

By right, before he entered the forest, he should have been taken out by the snipers.

However, he unexpectedly killed Kikumura Dahe and another person, disrupting the setup of the Kawabata family's snipers.

Coupled with his extremely agile skills, he effortlessly entered the forest.

Watching the direction in which Su Fan disappeared, Kawabata Yuuta decisively said, "Pursue him! Don't let him get away!"

After he gave the order, the remaining three members of the Kawabata family all chased in the direction Su Fan fled.

Master Fu Zan of the Esoteric Sect didn't hesitate either and directly followed.

But Kawabata Yuuta was wrong this time because Su Fan wasn't planning to escape at all; he was waiting in the forest for them to come to their deaths!

Kawabata Yuuta's group quickly entered the forest, but they did not find Su Fan.

Kawabata Takeshi quickly searched the surroundings, then returned to Kawabata Yuuta and said:

"He seems to have already escaped."

Hearing this, Kawabata Yuuta shook his head: "Although I don't know where he is, I'm certain he is hiding somewhere nearby."

Initially, Kawabata Yuuta also thought that Su Fan had most likely escaped.

But coming to this place, he vaguely felt a sense of crisis.

It was a feeling that couldn't be clearly described or explained.

But in numerous past life-and-death situations, Kawabata Yuuta had relied on this kind of intuition to navigate through dangers.

Master Fu Zan of the Esoteric Sect was already a bit impatient by now.

According to Kawabata Yuuta and the others' initial plan, it was highly probable that his involvement wouldn't even be necessary, and Su Fan would be doomed.

But after they actually made a move, the progression of events was completely outside their plan.

Given this, he might as well have a life-and-death battle with Su Fan directly to conclude the matter.

Walking from afar, Master Fu Zan said a bit displeased to Kawabata Yuuta: "What are we supposed to do now?"

Of course, Kawabata Yuuta could feel Master Fu Zan's anger, but he didn't care.

He simply stated with certainty, "We will continue to search carefully around here; he will definitely appear again."

Hearing these words, Master Fu Zan didn't say much more.

The group also began to search the forest with extreme caution.

As time passed by, they all became quite tense.

Their tension was justified; they were now in a situation where the enemy was in the open while they were in the dark, and they could be ambushed by Su Fan at any moment.

The thing they feared the most soon happened.

This time, Su Fan's targets were Kobayashi Sai and Kushiyama.

These two were both at the peak of the Transformation Realm, and without the Barrett sniper rifles in their hands, they posed no threat to Su Fan.

Even with Barrett sniper rifles, their threat to Su Fan was extremely limited.

From the moment they entered the forest, Su Fan had been watching them and looking for an opportunity to unexpectedly take them down.
