With a sharp screech, General Fei Hu suddenly slammed on the brakes, bringing the vehicle to a halt. He turned to look at Rulu, who noticed a significant change in Fei Hu's gaze compared to before. Initially, there was confusion on his face, followed by shock, and then it transformed into intense anger.

"Not good, he has broken free from my mental control!" Rulu was alarmed and hurriedly grabbed his pistol, aiming it at General Fei Hu's head and pulling the trigger.

At the same time, General Fei Hu raised both hands, using his strong arms to shield his head. "Puff, puff," the sound of gunfire echoed as bullets struck Fei Hu's forearm, piercing through it. After passing through his arm, the bullets lost much of their speed and power, failing to inflict further damage on General Fei Hu. Rulu fired several more shots, only managing to injure Fei Hu's arm.

"You damned assassin, I will kill you!" General Fei Hu roared, swinging his right fist powerfully toward Rulu's head. Rulu quickly ducked to evade, and with a loud bang, General Fei Hu's fist struck the car door, denting the metal and forcing the door open.

"Close combat is not in my favor; I need to get out of here." Rulu quickly exited the vehicle through the open door and distanced himself from it. General Fei Hu followed, fury etched across his face as he glared at Rulu. Rulu noticed that the bullet wound on General Fei Hu's forearm had stopped bleeding, and the injury was visibly healing at an astonishing rate.

"You little brat, you have some guts to attempt an assassination. I let you escape last time, but this time you will not get away." General Fei Hu let out a low growl like a beast, and with a powerful push from his legs, he launched himself toward Rulu.

Rulu quickly aimed his pistol at General Fei Hu and pulled the trigger. "Puff, puff," the sounds rang out as bullets hit Fei Hu's legs and waist. Ignoring his injuries, General Fei Hu swung his fist at Rulu, landing a heavy blow on Rulu's left shoulder, sending him flying four to five meters away. With a thud, both fell to the ground.

Rulu groaned in pain, clutching his left shoulder, struggling to rise from the ground. He felt as if his bones had been shattered by General Fei Hu's blow; his left shoulder throbbed painfully, and his entire arm was numb.

General Fei Hu also struggled to get up. He first pressed down hard on his left thigh, forcing the bullet out of the wound, then he pressed his waist to expel the bullet lodged there as well. The bleeding from his leg and waist wounds quickly stopped, healing almost completely in just over ten seconds.

"This is bad; this guy can heal rapidly. Even if hit by bullets, he can recover quickly, but if I get hit by his attacks even once, it's over for me." After witnessing General Fei Hu's prowess, Rulu felt the urge to retreat. He pushed off the ground with his feet, summoning a gust of wind to fly up to a nearby tree about five to six meters high, then soared to another tree ten meters away, swiftly navigating through the woods of the governor's mansion.

"Thinking of escaping? Not so easy." General Fei Hu scoffed, pushing off the ground as well. His massive body leaped into the air, landing on the tree trunk where Rulu had just been, and then he jumped again to another tree trunk.

Although General Fei Hu was large, his speed did not fall behind Rulu's wind-assisted flight. He could leap ten to twenty meters with each bound, closely pursuing Rulu, who was desperately trying to escape through the woods, unable to shake him off.

"Damn it, this guy is really tough to deal with." Rulu glanced back at General Fei Hu, who was relentlessly chasing him, feeling anxious. Rulu knew that the longer this dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would become for him. If other soldiers from the governor's mansion arrived, he would have no way out. He had to end this quickly and take down General Fei Hu, but at that moment, he could no longer use his spiritual power to control him. It was far from easy to eliminate a level four Refining Body Ultra-capable.

"I have no choice; even though the odds are slim, I can only take a gamble." Rulu thought to himself, noticing a small pond next to the woods. He immediately flew over to the pond and stopped there.

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to run, assassin?" General Fei Hu followed Rulu to the pond's edge, standing ten to twenty meters away, staring intently at him. Although he had been chasing Rulu for several minutes, he showed no signs of fatigue.

"General Fei Hu, I warn you, this is a personal grudge between me and that Su Wen. It has nothing to do with you. If you continue to meddle, you will only find death." Rulu said in a low voice, his words filled with a strong sense of lethal intent.

"Heh heh, that won't do." General Fei Hu chuckled dryly, "The governor is my future and hope. How could I let you kill him? I advise you to surrender obediently; otherwise, I will have no choice but to kill you on the spot and take your corpse to see the governor."

"So there's no room for negotiation? One of us has to die here today?!"

"That's right, you should surrender quickly. I can consider sparing your life."

"Don't dream. If you want to catch me, come over here yourself. Let's see if your Refining Body Ultra-capable is stronger or my magical abilities."

"Good boy, you've got some guts. Since that's the case, I will grant your wish." General Fei Hu said with a sinister smile, pushing off the ground like a fierce tiger and lunging toward Rulu.
