With a lift of his foot, Qin Fang launched a heavy kick at Chen Liang, who had just regained his balance, and another foot followed up closely...

A series of combination attacks flowed out like moving clouds and flowing water, and by this time, Chen Liang was completely stunned, only able to receive blows passively. However, his somewhat distracted mind kept making mistakes, which resulted in Chen Liang, despite being stronger than Qin Fang, getting suppressed and beaten without any power to fight back.

Until...

Bang!!!

Crack!!

A dull thud was heard, followed by a very crisp sound of breaking bones. Qin Fang had secretly retrieved the steel pipe, which was already completely deformed, and viciously ambushed Chen Liang's other arm, his left, breaking it as well.

"Ah..."

An utterly agonizing scream came from Chen Liang's mouth, but it was abruptly cut short mid-way, because Qin Fang had already used a silver needle to seal his acupoint, silencing his voice and turning Chen Liang instantly mute.

Crack, crack...

Again, two consecutive sounds followed. After both of Chen Liang's arms were broken by Qin Fang, his legs were also snapped, rendering him disabled and causing him to collapse to the ground, completely losing his ability to resist.

"You think you can kill me... with just one hand, you're still lacking!"

A triumphant smile finally appeared on Qin Fang's face. After enduring for so long and pretending for such a duration, he had finally let Chen Liang's guard down, allowing him to strike decisively.

At this moment, Chen Liang's body was extremely twisted, but without the use of his arms and legs, he was like a tiger without sharp teeth or claws—helpless to the bullying and devoid of any strength to retaliate.

Aside from staring at Qin Fang with an extremely venomous gaze, he had almost no strength left to resist.

"Phew~~ finally got it done!"

Qin Fang could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Chen Liang's level of difficulty was indeed quite high, and if it weren't for Qin Fang's successive surprise attacks, there would have been no way to subdue him.

However...

Looking at the steel pipe in his hand, Qin Fang let out a helpless bitter smile. From this moment on, the Sap Outfit was officially disbanded. It was as if their coming together had never served any purpose at all—coming hastily and leaving just as quickly.

The steel pipe was severely deformed. When Chen Liang hit it with Tiger's Rush, its durability had already plummeted to zero. Qin Fang had used it again just now, wiping all of its attributes to zero, turning it into a piece of scrap in his hand that crumbled into iron dust when he gently brushed it.

As for the original burlap sack, it had already become Wen Yan's simple undergarment on Liuyun Mountain and had long been scrapped.

Now, only the last brick remained.

"I don't know if this counts as a loss or a massive stroke of luck!"

Qin Fang said with self-deprecating humor. It was then that he turned to look at Chen Liang, only to be shocked to discover...

"Hm?"

Chen Liang's face was turning a shade of green, and black blood was starting to flow from the corners of his mouth. Blood was also oozing from all his orifices—a sign of severe poisoning.

"Damn it, this bastard..."

Qin Fang was quite surprised, not expecting Chen Liang to be even more cruel and vicious than Qin Fang had imagined because he was ruthless not only to others, to his own master, but even more so to himself.

He had actually resorted to poisoning himself intending to commit suicide, leaving no opportunity for Qin Fang to interrogate him, or to hand him over to the Wu Family.

But was Qin Fang truly without options?

Clearly, he was not.

Qin Fang's wrist flicked, and five silver needles abruptly appeared between his fingers. Then his fingers moved swiftly, and the five silver needles accurately stabbed into five acupoints, effectively sealing off five major points, thus preventing the poison from claiming Chen Liang's life for the moment.

"Why?"

Even Chen Liang himself couldn't help but be startled. Although he couldn't speak, the shock in his eyes seemed to convey just that question.

What he had taken was his own concoction of the potent Five Poisons Powder, a poison so strong it was known to kill upon entering the bloodstream. Yet, to his surprise, even though he could feel the changes happening inside his body, he had not died. The reason was the five silver needles that Qin Fang had inserted.

"No reason, I just want to know some secrets that I ought to know! Don't worry, these five silver needles can only preserve your life for up to two minutes..."

Qin Fang was right; the five silver needles were just to temporarily fend off the toxicity of the Five Poisons Powder, not to save lives.

Chen Liang, a man so brutally devoid of humanity, had to die, and moreover, he had to die by Qin Fang's hand, otherwise... Qin Fang was yelling in his heart, "Where else can I go to gain such experience?!"

Although Qin Fang had temporarily stabilized the deadly poison in Chen Liang's body, the effect was not particularly significant, and he himself kept on casting the Mind Reading Technique on Chen Liang.

As the saying goes, a dying man's words are kind.

At that moment, Chen Liang's heart was not nearly as strong as usual. It seemed he was reminiscing about his short life, and Qin Fang's Mind Reading Technique just so happened to be particularly effective then.

And so...

As Chen Liang recalled his past, Qin Fang was quickly reviewing the more than twenty years of Chen Liang's life, eventually coming to understand the man.

The poison from the Five Poisons Powder was eroding Chen Liang's internal organs. The toxicity was extremely aggressive and impossible to neutralize. According to Chen Liang's own estimation, once the poison was ingested, death would certainly follow within one or two minutes, leaving no time to even seek medical attention.

Just as Chen Liang said, understanding how he had survived these years might allow Qin Fang to comprehend why he had been so cruel to Chen Qingsong.

Chen Liang did not see Chen Qingsong as human, which was motivated by the fact that Chen Qingsong did not see Chen Liang as human either. The things that happened in the process were so appalling that even Qin Fang, as an observer, found them unbearable, wishing he could tear Chen Qingsong to pieces.

The reason why Chen Liang's personality had become so twisted was entirely due to Chen Qingsong's doing, but in the end, Chen Qingsong died at the hands of the severely distorted Chen Liang.

"Alas, take your leave!"

The same phrase was uttered, but this time the speaker changed, coming from Qin Fang's mouth. A silver needle in hand, he directly stabbed the Baihui Acupoint on top of Chen Liang's head with the special technique of The Nine Revival Needles.

The previously contorted and twisted face of Chen Liang paused slightly, the brightness in his eyes quickly fading, and almost in an instant, his pupils completely dilated.

Chen Liang was dead!

While the poison from the Five Poisons Powder was still eroding his body, he had already died, suffering brain death. Death came in an instant, without any pain, and he died quite serenely.

The Fatal Needle of The Nine Revival Needles!

This was a forbidden technique of The Nine Revival Needles, a secret skill that ensured instant death.

This set of needle techniques originated from the famed physician Huangfu Mi. A doctor's job is to treat and save patients, but when some patients are beyond help, suffering unbearably, he would choose to let them depart this life peacefully, at least without pain in their final moments.

And yet, even so, Huangfu Mi in his lifetime only used it three times, which is why among Huangfu Mi's disciples, there was also this rule—no more than three times.

But for Qin Fang, the "quack doctor," no such restrictions applied.

Chen Liang was young, but his life could be called a life of sin. In his brief span of over twenty years, he had been stained with the blood of sixteen people, all of whom died in particularly gruesome ways.

Such a person, even if not killed by Qin Fang, would definitely have faced the death penalty if caught. Falling into the hands of the Wu Family members, he would not escape the word "death" either!

So that's why, knowing he could not escape, he resolutely took the highly toxic Five Poisons Powder, ending his life of sin. (To be continued. If you like this novel, you're welcome to rate it at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation.)
