"So you’re saying you’re concerned about me?" Lu Tianxing looked at Dechuan Qianxiang, speaking with a half-smile.

"Lord Tianxing..."

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Dechuan Qianxiang’s expression changed slightly, fearing Lu Tianxing might suspect her of hidden motives. She hurriedly opened her mouth to explain, but before she could finish, Lu Tianxing interrupted her and said, "I don’t mean anything else, just speaking casually. There’s no denying your method is quite good, but you miscalculated one thing, which inevitably means your plan cannot succeed."

"What is it?"

"The human heart."

Lu Tianxing looked at Dechuan Qianxiang and said, "Why is Ashida Ikeda hiding on Mount Fuji to recover, even not telling anyone his whereabouts? Have you ever thought about why this is?"

"It’s because Ashida Ikeda is now a frightened bird. He knows very well he’s gravely injured, and I will certainly come after him. Because both he and I know very well, now is the best opportunity to kill him; otherwise, once he recovers, it would be a disaster for me."

"Ashida Ikeda understands this very well, so he will surely be cautious. Moreover, do you think he will eat the food delivered by outsiders? Will he eat it immediately?"

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Dechuan Qianxiang fell silent, not knowing what to say.

Would Ashida Ikeda eat the food delivered by others directly?

Clearly not.

Even if he did eat it, Ashida Ikeda would probably test whether the food had been poisoned using other methods, an evident sign of a frightened bird.

"So instead of messing with useless things and alerting the enemy, it would be better to crush him directly."

Lu Tianxing’s tone was filled with coldness and murderous intent. Tonight, he wants to make Mount Fuji Ashida Ikeda’s burial ground.

...

As time flows like water and darkness gradually fell, as the neon lights by the roadside lit up, the entire Tokyo plunged into hustle and bustle, with bustling crowds once again hitting the streets to enjoy the evening festivities.

After having dinner at the Dechuan Family, Lu Tianxing and Dechuan Qianxiang left, heading all the way to Mount Fuji.

Mount Fuji is Japan’s highest peak and one of the country’s important national symbols, hailed by the Japanese people as the "Sacred Mountain" and is a symbol of the Japanese nation.

Mount Fuji stands at an altitude of over 3,700 meters, with its peak soaring through the clouds, covered with snow and surrounded by white clouds. Its cone shape resembles an inverted fan suspended in the air. Japanese poets once praised it with lines like "Jade fan hanging over the eastern sea sky" and "Fuji white snow reflecting the sunrise."

Furthermore, Mount Fuji is one of the world’s largest active volcanoes, currently in its dormant phase.

By the time Lu Tianxing and Dechuan Qianxiang arrived at the foot of Mount Fuji, the sky had completely darkened, the streetlights flickering with orange light, bringing a hint of brightness in the darkness.

After Dechuan Qianxiang parked the car properly at the foot of Mount Fuji, they both got out of the car.

"Tap!" "Tap!" "Tap!"

As soon as Dechuan Qianxiang and Lu Tianxing stepped out of the car, a series of footsteps sounded.

Soon, a figure in a ninja outfit strode over from the side and knelt directly on the ground: "Greetings, Miss Asaka, Mr. Lu."

Seeing the person, Dechuan Qianxiang’s expression turned solemn, asking calmly, "How is it? Has the person delivering the food already gone up the mountain?"

"He has already gone up. We’ve installed a tracking device on him; he has reached halfway up the mountain."

Saying this, the man took out a locator from his body, saying: "Miss, this is the locator, ensuring close monitoring of the target."

"Understood, you may leave!"

Receiving the locator, Dechuan Qianxiang waved her hand, dismissing the person, then turned to Lu Tianxing and said, "Lord Tianxing, what should we do next?"

"Let me have a look at the locator."

"Okay."

Dechuan Qianxiang nodded slightly, without hesitation, and handed the locator to Lu Tianxing.

The locator wasn’t particularly large, about the size of a palm, with a blinking red dot clearly indicating the person delivering the food to Ashida Ikeda.

"We’ll follow right behind."

After glancing at the red dot, Lu Tianxing, without any hesitation, led the way toward Mount Fuji.

Dechuan Qianxiang followed closely without any hesitation.

In the dark night, two ghostly figures traversed Mount Fuji at high speed, so fast that they were almost invisible.

Of course, climbing Mount Fuji doesn’t necessarily require hiking; one can drive directly uphill. But to prevent any unforeseen situations or alerting the enemy, Lu Tianxing and Dechuan Qianxiang chose another method.

Despite it being night, with Mount Fuji enveloped in darkness, for martial artists of Lu Tianxing and Dechuan Qianxiang’s caliber, darkness was inconsequential. True Qi circulating through their eyes, allowing them to see as clearly as daylight, ignoring everything around them, stepping on tree branches like celestial beings headed toward the summit.

Even though he disliked Japan, Lu Tianxing had to admit that Mount Fuji has a unique charm, its captivating colors in the nighttime enchanting the eye.

Under normal circumstances, Lu Tianxing wouldn’t hesitate to stop and admire the scenery, but now he had no intention to, having only one thought in mind: to kill Ashida Ikeda.

Suddenly, leading the way, Dechuan Qianxiang halted, her gaze fixed on a leisurely courtyard in the middle of the mountainside, with a chilling murderous intent flashing in her eyes, a cold aura emanating uncontrollably from her body.

"What’s wrong," Lu Tianxing stood beside Dechuan Qianxiang, frowning and asked.

"Lord Tianxing, can you help me kill someone?"

Dechuan Qianxiang took a deep breath, turned slowly, looking at Lu Tianxing with a pleading tone.

"Kill someone?"

Lu Tianxing furrowed his brows slightly and asked, "Your enemy?"

"Exactly."

Dechuan Qianxiang nodded without hesitation, saying, "Lord Tianxing, you should know my mother died at the hands of the Shankou Family. Although the Shankou Family is the culprit, this person was an accomplice. I hope Lord Tianxing you can help me kill him."
