First update, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~...

"Idiot..."

Seeing Cao Yuan actually shake off the three of them and pounce toward Qin Fang instead, Song Yi and the other two were stunned for a moment, then all three showed the exact same expression, their eyes full of contempt as they cursed in unison.

That naturally reached Cao Yuan's ears, but right now he had neither the time nor the energy to care. He was getting closer and closer to Qin Fang, and would almost be able to touch Qin Fang's body in the next instant.

Cao Yuan believed that with his Great Grandmaster Level Strength, dealing with a Grandmaster-level Expert... even a Grandmaster Peak Strongman, he could still easily insta-kill them!

This was an undeniable fact caused by the massive chasm between Grandmaster Level and Great Grandmaster Level!

Naturally, Cao Yuan was extremely confident at this moment...

Even though he knew that what he was doing would very likely result in a frenzied assault from the three Great Grandmaster Level Experts, he still didn't care at all... even if he died, he was going to drag Qin Fang down with him as a scapegoat!

Of course, if he could drag a few more people into the grave with him, he wouldn't mind that in the slightest...

Except... he was obviously overthinking it!

Contrary to his expectations, not only did Song Yi and the other two show no intention of pursuing him, they actually stopped, sat down, and started shooting the breeze...

"How about the three of us place a bet, bet on how long this old bastard Cao Yuan can hold out?"

Song Yi wore a faint smile on his face, even canceling his Protective Gang Qi, and sat down right there to act as the bookie...

"I bet within one minute!"

Jiang Rui reacted faster. As soon as Song Yi finished speaking, he immediately placed his bet!

"Damn, you're too sinister, that was exactly what I was about to say... then I'll bet one to two minutes!"

Li Qun reacted a bit slower and immediately regretted it, but he still quickly placed his bet. The time he gave was only extended by a tiny bit...

"You two bastards, you snatched both of my picks..."

As for Song Yi, he now really had the urge to curse his mother. Although he was the one who brought it up, he was a bit late in placing his own bet... that was some real regret!

The conversation between Song Yi and the other two naturally also reached Cao Yuan's ears, directly making him feel like coughing up blood... To think that he, Cao Yuan, a Great Grandmaster Level Expert whose status within The Green Gang was in no way inferior to the Great Elders of the Six Major Families, was being looked down on like this. This was simply intolerable humiliation!

However, in light of Song Yi and the others' reaction, Cao Yuan's body immediately tensed up, and the look in his eyes as he stared at Qin Fang also changed somewhat... faintly feeling that this young man might be different from what he had imagined.

"Could it be... that he's actually an extremely powerful expert? That he's even... even already broken through to Great Grandmaster Level?"

Deep in his heart, Cao Yuan couldn't help but consider this possibility. The uneasiness in his heart grew stronger and stronger, and the image of Qin Fang in his eyes seemed to gradually change as well.

"Impossible... Even a Great Grandmaster Level Expert absolutely couldn't break through the encirclement and slaughter of the Qingyi Iron Guard's combined Formation!"

Feeling his confidence crumbling bit by bit, Cao Yuan viciously bit the tip of his tongue, making his consciousness clearer, and at the same time ruthlessly flung that earlier thought out of his mind.

"I will definitely kill him!"

As if hypnotizing himself, Cao Yuan once again firmed up his resolve. At this point, he was only a single step away from Qin Fang's position...

"Those three bastards..."

Qin Fang had naturally also heard Song Yi and the others acting as bookies and placing bets. His expression turned weird, and he couldn't help but curse as well... though he didn't intend to blame them; he just felt that teasing Cao Yuan like this at a time like this was a bit lacking in conscience!

"But I like it..."

Still, after cursing, Qin Fang switched tone and muttered with a squinting smile.

"Die for me..."

By this time, Cao Yuan had already reached Qin Fang. His thick, overwhelming Palm Energy and Energy Aura surged forth, as if it could punch straight through heaven and earth. Even within the howling wind there were faint sounds of sonic booms.

Without a doubt, in order to kill Qin Fang, Cao Yuan had gone all in this time, planning to use the most violent palm strike to completely tear Qin Fang to pieces...

"Good timing..."

But Qin Fang wasn't worried in the slightest. Instead, he let out a low shout, then his sturdy body shuddered. With a buzzing sound, a faint Blood Qi immediately rose from his body, and Qin Fang's body also took on a faint reddish hue.

If you looked carefully, you could even see faint traces under that skin, like Demon Patterns seeping out…

But as Qin Fang gently circulated his True Qi for just one round, that surging, rippling Energy Aura instantly turned violently savage, even more violent than the Energy Aura on Cao Yuan, who was a Great Grandmaster Level Expert!

At this moment, Cao Yuan's Palm Energy had already struck over; the terrifying blast of wind whipped Qin Fang's clothes so hard they snapped and rattled, and even the skin on Qin Fang's face seemed to be wrinkled by the gale…

Yet faced with such a fierce, raging Strength, Qin Fang simply threw out an extremely plain, ordinary punch!

This punch looked utterly mediocre, as if it was just a casual strike; at least in terms of appearance, it looked far worse than Cao Yuan's palm…

However…

Pa!!!

Qin Fang's fist and Cao Yuan's Palm Energy smashed into each other with a vicious collision, erupting with an extremely violent boom… The ground at the point of impact let out a crisp cracking sound in the same instant, and that boulder weighing at least several dozen tons was directly shattered by this brutal force, a long crack splitting across it!

And that was only the initial contact; the two of them's Energy Aura then exploded at the same time…

Bang~~~

Only now did they truly unleash their most powerful Strength, and then… a dull thud rang out by their ears, and at the same time a figure was sent flying backward at high speed!

Pff~~~

Of course, that came with a mouthful of blood spraying out, drawing a dazzling arc across midair, and then the whole person crashed down onto the ground not far away, like a kite with its string cut.

Even more coincidentally, not far from where he landed was that row of Qingyi Iron Guards who had been lined up and were all injured and had lost their combat strength…

"Boss…"

Seeing that figure fall, those burly Qingyi Iron Guards couldn't help but shout anxiously in unison… Even if they weren't supposed to show such emotion, after so many years together, their bond ran very deep!

That's right, the injured one was naturally Cao Yuan… In his clash with Qin Fang, despite his Great Grandmaster Level Cultivation, he had suffered a massive loss at the hands of Qin Fang, this Grandmaster-level Expert, and had been forcibly crushed!

Even though he had Protective Gang Qi guarding him, under Qin Fang's punch that Protective Gang Qi had been shattered in advance, and only then did Qin Fang's follow-up force transmit over… directly landing a Heavy Strike on Cao Yuan's body.

A Great Grandmaster Level Expert who had lost the protection of his Protective Gang Qi only had Gang Qi that was a bit thicker than a Grandmaster's True Qi; his physical defense hadn't improved by much. How could he possibly withstand Qin Fang's fist force?

Cao Yuan lay there sprawled, coughing up blood mouthful after mouthful, with faint bits of internal organ fragments mixed in. That alone showed how terrifying Qin Fang's punch had been just now, to injure a Great Grandmaster Level Expert like Cao Yuan to such a state.

The several Qingyi Iron Guards around wanted badly to rush over to support Cao Yuan, but they could barely protect themselves; they could only call Cao Yuan's name helplessly, then glare at Qin Fang's group with eyes that looked like they could kill…

Only, no matter how filled with rage and resentment those eyes were, it was useless; Qin Fang and the others simply ignored them.

"Sigh… why bother?"

He walked slowly to Cao Yuan's side. Looking at his miserable appearance, Qin Fang couldn't help but shake his head and let out a light sigh.

Pff~~~

Cao Yuan was already severely injured. Now that he heard Qin Fang's words, his blood and Qi immediately surged chaotically, and he couldn't hold it back anymore, directly spitting out another mouthful of old blood… Qin Fang, meanwhile, lightly leapt aside at that moment, looking very much like he was afraid of getting splashed by the blood, which only made Cao Yuan's anger surge straight to his heart!

Song Yi and the others saw this scene and couldn't help but secretly give Qin Fang a thumbs-up. This was way nastier than straightforward punching and kicking, practically killing a man without leaving a trace…

Compared to Qin Fang, the bit of mocking from Song Yi and the others earlier already counted as extremely humane…

"Old ghost Cao, took a big loss, didn't you?"

Qin Fang didn't bother much with what came next; instead, Song Yi and the other two ran over, looking at Cao Yuan's heavily injured state, gloating as they spoke… If Qin Fang weren't here, then the result would probably be reversed right now.

"Hmph… if you wanna carve me up, just do it as you please!"

Don't be fooled by how badly injured Cao Yuan was; his temper was still extremely overbearing. He glared at Song Yi with utter disdain, then stiffened his neck and answered in a hard tone, not even caring that speaking a sentence nearly made him cough his entire lung out!

"Kill you?"

The three of them exchanged a look, their voices turning much colder. "It's not time for that yet… talk. Where did you take the people from our Six Major Families?"

They said they didn't want to kill Cao Yuan yet, but the killing intent in their words was not concealed in the slightest!

They had just made such a huge commotion, yet the whole camp was eerily quiet, without even a Ghost Shadow around. That alone explained a lot—people like Chen Lin had almost all vanished without a trace…

Then you add in Cao Yuan and the others mysteriously showing up, and wanting to take them out the instant they appeared… that was more than enough to show there was something very fishy going on here!
