This kind of foolish act is something no one would be willing to do, and Qin Fang was even less willing to do it.

"I've been waiting for you..."

Just as Lei Peng was about to close in on him, Qin Fang's body suddenly twisted, tilting to one side as if he was about to fall. Yet it was precisely this movement that allowed him to narrowly dodge Lei Peng's Explosive Bear Strike...

Lei Peng had calculated countless possibilities but likely never considered that Qin Fang had already experienced the Explosive Bear Strike. When he knew he had to take action against the Lei Family, he had specifically researched a counter move against the Explosive Bear Strike...

However, during their fight, Lei Peng didn't use the Explosive Bear Strike but instead used the Tianchi Secret Technique, rendering Qin Fang's trump card useless.

But he had never expected it to come into play at such a moment... and it played a significant role at that!

Having dodged Lei Peng's Explosive Bear Strike, Qin Fang swiftly stood up straight again, and suddenly, a black Military Spike appeared in his hand, which had been empty before, aimed at Lei Peng, who was still unguarded and in shock!

Phew~~

Blood burst forth!

The Military Spike seamlessly penetrated Lei Peng's ribs, burying itself to the hilt and piercing through Lei Peng's lung... Bright red blood spurted out crazily as if it cost nothing!

Qin Fang quickly withdrew and retreated, of course pulling out the Military Spike with him, which caused the bleeding to be even more fierce!

"You... you... you're so ruthless!"

Lei Peng let out a miserable cry while his eyes filled with disbelief. He had not anticipated at all that Qin Fang's earlier move, which had seemed aimed at killing Shangguan Tianling, was actually a ploy against him, Lei Peng.

Unfortunately, by the time he realized this, it was already too late. Qin Fang's move was vicious and precise. Although it wasn't fatal in one blow, Lei Peng knew very well that even if Qin Fang didn't stop him now and let him go to the hospital for emergency treatment, it was already too late; he would definitely die from excessive blood loss!

In fact, judging by his condition, he probably couldn't hold on much longer!

"It's not that I'm ruthless! If anyone is to blame, it's yourselves..."

Watching the light fade from Lei Peng's eyes, Qin Fang's facial expression remained calm. This wasn't his first time killing someone, so he wasn't going to have any adverse reaction. Moreover, this uncle and nephew pair had plotted against him with the intent to take his life, so Qin Fang was even less likely to let them go.

A retreating tiger returns to the mountain, only to become a future problem!

Qin Fang would never allow such an event to take place.

Lei Peng is dead!

He died right before Qin Fang's eyes, and although he felt his death was extremely suffocating, it was an indisputable fact now.

Shangguan Tianling watched his nephew Lei Peng being schemed against by Qin Fang and slowly die, his eyes filled with shock and terror...

The uncle and nephew had envisioned various outcomes from the start of their plot against Qin Fang, but they never anticipated this one, yet it had indeed happened.

Lei Peng was dead, dying right before his eyes, and he... couldn't even move a muscle, facing a Qin Fang who was nearly at his peak strength and without any power to fight back.

In his current state, with a sharp, still-dripping Military Spike in his hand, even a child could kill him, let alone Qin Fang.

Kneel and beg Qin Fang for mercy?

Shangguan Tianling shook his head with a look of helplessness in his eyes.

Similarly, he knew that Qin Fang would never let him go; kneeling to beg would be futile. Soon his heart calmed down, accepting death as the only path left to him, a fate sealed from the moment Qin Fang took him down.

Now that even his nephew Lei Peng had been killed by Qin Fang, his chances of survival were even slimmer.

"How did you manage to do it?"

However, a significant question still lingered in his heart. He simply couldn't fathom how he, a Grandmaster-level Expert, could have become so vulnerable?

If he hadn't felt it before, when Qin Fang landed the explosive hit, he knew. His strength had weakened, his speed had dropped, and even his reflexes were far inferior to his normal state.

"Do you remember how your palm was pierced by my Military Spike?"

Shangguan Tianling was undoubtedly doomed, and Qin Fang saw no need to conceal the truth any longer. Instead of letting him descend to Hell with questions unanswered, it was better to clear his confusion before sending him on his way.

Upon hearing Qin Fang's words, Shangguan Tianling was slightly taken aback, his gaze still filled with doubt, not understanding what Qin Fang meant.

"The Military Spike was poisoned!"

Qin Fang had not expected that such a hint wouldn't prompt Shangguan Tianling to figure out the reason, so he decided to just tell him directly.

"Poisoned?"

Shangguan Tianling's gaze contracted slightly, and then he exclaimed in surprise and even horror, "Are you from the Tang Sect?"

"The Tang Sect?"

This time it was Qin Fang who was stunned. He was familiar with the name Tang Sect, as many martial arts novels mentioned such a sect.

However, Qin Fang had been to Xishu Province and interacted with some local sects there. There was no Shu Middle Tang Sect in Xishu Province, so he thought that such a sect was purely a fabrication by novelists.

But now, hearing Shangguan Tianling speak of it, it seemed that the sect really existed and was related to poison...

"I should have thought of it, should have seen it coming..."

Shangguan Tianling didn't notice the change in Qin Fang's tone, and he seemed to lose his mental support, muttering to himself.

"I'm not from the Tang Sect!"

At that moment, Qin Fang shook his head and stated.

Of course, he wasn't from the Tang Sect; he had just learned of their real existence. Although this made no difference to Shangguan Tianling's fate, since Qin Fang intended to let him die with understanding, there was no need for secrecy...

Sure enough, Shangguan Tianling, who had already resigned to his fate, suddenly opened his eyes wide in shock upon hearing this...

But very soon, a very eerie smile spread across his face, and he even laughed happily!

"You're not from the Tang Sect! You're not from the Tang Sect! Hahaha... Mr. Qin, I will be waiting for you down below... The Heavenly Pool Sect will avenge me, and the Tang Sect will come for you too... Hahaha!"

Shangguan Tianling seemed to have gone berserk, bursting into loud, uncontrollable laughter, and though he knew he was undoubtedly going to die, he seemed to take great pleasure in envisioning Qin Fang's demise, laughing heartily and merrily...

Pu~~

However, at the height of his excitement, Qin Fang's bloodied Military Spike brutally pierced Shangguan Tianling's heart, plunging deep...

Bright crimson blood spurted out. Shangguan Tianling's chest was rapidly covered with bloodstains. His eyes blanked out instantly, and his body twitched slightly, before finally everything went still...

Shangguan Tianling was dead!

And he had died at the hands of Qin Fang!

However, his death was different from Lei Peng's. Lei Peng died filled with frustration and suffocation, but Shangguan Tianling died with a smiling face, a bright smile... that scene was indeed particularly eerie.

After dealing with these two men, Qin Fang finally took a long breath of relief. The whole process was truly fraught with danger, but ultimately he, Qin Fang, was the victor.

"Heavenly Pool Sect... Tang Sect... "

Relieved, Qin Fang still couldn't help but ponder the words Shangguan Tianling had said before dying.

The Heavenly Pool Sect seeking revenge for Shangguan Tianling was understandable for Qin Fang. After all, Shangguan Tianling was of the Heavenly Pool Sect. The Shangguan Family was a powerful clan within the sect, and it would be impossible to overlook the death of a clan member who was a Grandmaster-level Expert.

But what truly puzzled Qin Fang was why Shangguan Tianling warned him that the mysterious and unpredictable Tang Sect would also come after him, not to meet amicably, but to avenge Shangguan Tianling...

"Could it be... the connection with the poison?"

Recalling Shangguan Tianling's reactions, it seemed the crux of the problem must be related to the poison! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian to vote with recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
