Judging by her figure, it was indeed the Policewoman who had been driving just now, only now she had changed into a fresh outfit. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, her eyes enchanting, her skin crystal clear and fairer than snow or frost. The white embroidered shirt and jeans hugged her slender body tightly, perfectly accentuating her graceful curves. Even her toes, in crystal high-heeled sandals, were pure white without a trace of blemish. Emily Bolton and Lily Turner could both be considered beauties, but compared to this woman, they truly fell short.

James Carter had seen many girls, but none could compare to the one before him. He couldn't help but wonder if she was a fox spirit straight out of Pu Songling's tales.

The girl, who had been smiling, heard the words "fox spirit" and her expression changed dramatically. Her willow brows arched, and her eyes instantly turned icy cold. James Carter seemed to feel the temperature drop suddenly and secretly thought, "This is bad."

"You are truly rude!" Her delicate hand, as smooth as white jade, reached toward James Carter's face.

James Carter realized he had let something slip. As she swung a slap at him, he hurriedly raised his hand to block. Her slender jade fingers suddenly closed together, forming a bird's beak shape, and with incredible speed, pecked lightly at James Carter's wrist.

It felt as if his wrist had been fiercely stabbed with a needle. Despite James Carter's iron palms, he couldn't withstand this gentle peck. Her force was concentrated into a needle, piercing through with sharpness—she was clearly an internal martial arts expert!

Smack! Taking advantage of the moment, her jade hand reversed and landed squarely on James Carter's cheek.

A burning pain spread across his face, but instead of anger, James Carter was overjoyed: "Good! I searched high and low, only to find you by chance. I've finally encountered an internal martial arts master. No matter what, I can't let you get away now. I must see your skills for myself."

He stretched out both hands, fingers spread and hooked inward, his knuckles crackling as he formed an eagle claw stance! He struck at the girl's chest, a gust of force surging forth! Even before his claws reached her, the fierce wind from his attack enveloped her entire body.

If this strike landed, it might even tear out her heart.

The girl was surprised as well. She knew James Carter's external martial arts were formidable, and after slapping him just now, seeing he hadn't blocked it, she thought she had gauged his strength and didn't take him seriously. Who would have thought that when James Carter made a real move, it would be so fierce, almost reaching the level where external force penetrates inward.

External martial arts, at its peak, was truly ferocious!

The car interior was cramped, making it hard to maneuver. The girl had no choice but to cross her arms in front of her, as if hugging a tree like a bear. Her hands crossed and twisted three times, wrapping around James Carter's wrist. With a sudden pull, James Carter's strike missed its mark and landed on the leather car seat instead, tearing off a large chunk with a ripping sound.

Since James Carter had already launched his eagle claw, he immediately followed up with a lightning-fast thunder strike. The girl knew she couldn't take it head-on, so she kicked out with both feet. One crystal high-heeled sandal flew off, striking at James Carter's wrist, while she used the momentum to push open the car door and leapt out.

Bang! To dodge the flying sandal, James Carter dropped his wrist, accidentally striking the BMW's steering wheel. With a loud crack, the steering column snapped and shot through the windshield. In less than a minute, the expensive BMW was already more than half destroyed.

Having finally encountered a true internal martial arts master, James Carter was not about to let her go. He charged out after her, claws bared. He saw the girl across from him take a Xingyi boxing stance—steady as a mountain, imposing as a peak! He couldn't help but exclaim, "Good!" and was about to pounce when suddenly a low growl sounded behind him, and a foul wind swept by. It was the huge wolfdog, leaping high into the air, aiming for the back of James Carter's neck.

Hearing the wind, James Carter quickly performed an "iron bridge" move, his body arching like a rainbow. The wolfdog missed, exposing its white belly. James Carter sprang up with a "centipede jump," thrusting out a claw that pierced the wolfdog's abdomen, blood spurting like an arrow.

The wolfdog howled in pain, stretching its neck and opening its bloody maw, fangs snapping as it bit at James Carter's wrist.

James Carter was ready. Gathering strength in his left hand, he struck out with a palm, hitting the wolfdog squarely on the head. With another loud crack, it seemed the skull was shattered. The hundred-kilogram wolfdog was sent flying five or six meters, crashing into a wall, rolling down, blood streaming from its seven orifices. Its white belly now had five bloody holes, intestines spilling out with the blood.

The wolfdog stared at James Carter with dead eyes, struggling as if to get up, but just as it managed halfway, its body suddenly collapsed and it could no longer move. After twitching for a moment, it died.

Just after James Carter had killed the fierce wolfdog with a single claw and palm, he suddenly caught a whiff of fragrance. A white blur flashed by, and the girl's jade hand struck toward his face again. He quickly turned his head, but her palm landed on his shoulder. With a slap, grab, and shake—using some unknown technique—he felt as if he was flying through the clouds, sent tumbling away.

As he was about to hit the ground, James Carter reached out with a claw, pressing against the concrete, flipped in midair, and finally landed steadily, though his clothes were now splattered with dog blood.

"Stop, halt!" The girl, seeing James Carter about to pounce again, quickly made a stopping gesture.
