Qin Fang's success rate in his assassin missions is still one hundred percent, never failing even once, all tasks completed by killing the target...
Whether the target was a former arms dealer or a prominent Southeast Asian drug lord, all of them ended up dead at his hands... although the way one of them died was indeed a little too bizarre.
Li Yaonan's status is not much less than that of Sinan and Han Long, whom Qin Fang had previously taken down. For many assassins, the mission was also quite difficult...
But Qin Fang wasn't too worried. Since Li Yaonan was in Luo City, which wasn't too far from Qin Fang, naturally, Qin Fang wouldn't let him walk out of Luo City alive...
As for the reaction Li Yaonan's inexplicable death might bring to this city, it's not something Qin Fang needs to be concerned about; he can leave the city quietly at any time, leaving everyone behind.
"It seems I still need to meet this Li Yaonan as soon as possible..."
Although Qin Fang doesn't yet have a perfect assassination plan, it is because he hasn't had contact with Li Yaonan, nor does he know much about his whereabouts, thus unable to make a plan.
Besides, plans cannot keep pace with changes, so instead of sticking rigidly to a plan, it's much more convenient to adapt to circumstances...
This Luo City was initially a very unfamiliar city to Qin Fang, except for him, there wasn't even half a person that he could use.
If Li Yaonan was a very low-profile person, then tracing his whereabouts wouldn't be so easy for Qin Fang, which might take some time.
After all, Qin Fang was in the Ruan Family, and surely there were people already watching him. Although Qin Fang was unafraid, to reduce unnecessary troubles, he couldn't be too obvious either.
He couldn't leave the Ruan Family at will for too long, which would have some impact on Qin Fang's investigation work.
If delayed too long, by the time Qin Fang found information about Li Yaonan, he might already have finished his trip to Luo City and returned to Anlang Capital or the southern base of the Li Family...
However, after seeing the information on Li Yaonan, Qin Fang was not in a hurry; even the bit of worry immediately disappeared.
"Seeing how Ruan Beauty looks, it seems she hasn't been harassed by Li Yaonan yet. I suppose it will be soon..."
According to the information provided by the Assassin's Alliance regarding Li Yaonan, this guy is not very old but is quite the lecher. He keeps numerous women on his turf for his indulgence...
He has met not a few socialites; basically, unmarried women of suitable age from prominent families in Anlang have not escaped from his selection range...
This time when he came to Luo City, as the city's belle, Ruan Yingxiu was evidently not going to be excluded by him. Qin Fang figured even if he didn't actively seek out Li Yaonan, this guy would probably walk right into his trap.
Understanding this, Qin Fang appeared exceptionally calm; although he was resting in this completely unfamiliar place, he still had a relatively restful sleep that night.
Early next morning, Qin Fang woke up early, his biological clock always this precise. Even if he hadn't rested much, he would wake up on time.
As usual, he walked out of his room, went into the courtyard, and energetically performed a set of fist techniques, fully relaxing his entire body, invigorating his spirit.
Ruan Yingxiu didn't sleep particularly soundly that night. Although she didn't toss and turn, she only vaguely fell asleep late.
Early in the morning, still in a sleepy daze, she could vaguely hear the sound of clothing fluttering and whipping winds from the courtyard outside, waking her up.
Getting out of bed, she pushed open the window and saw the activity outside...
In that exquisitely scenic courtyard, a young man in white workout clothes was waving his arms. His agile body was darting and leaping, giving a visually powerful impact...
The morning breeze gently blew past the window, bringing a slight chill. Yet, on that man's face, slight beads of sweat could be seen, and the white workout clothes were slightly damp, showing that the seemingly light and casual actions were actually quite physically demanding...
This man was deeply absorbed in his practice. Once his body completely stretched out, his movements became more effortless and smooth, with a more graceful speed.
Starting from pure health-preserving fist techniques, he transitioned to the essence of Xingyi Fist, then Qin Fang's True Qi began to gradually unfold, with the invisible energy aura radiating outwardly from his body.
When the set of fist techniques concluded rapidly, at the final move, Qin Fang suddenly soared into the air, blasting ferocious palm energy towards an old tree in the courtyard, possibly hundreds of years old...
Buzz~~
It was as if a sound suddenly arose, a powerful energy aura roared past, directly targeting the trunk of that tree...
With such a fierce strength, if it really hits this centuries-old tree, his violent power could easily break the tree in half.
"Ah..."
So when she saw this scene, Ruan Yingxiu was slightly surprised and let out a low exclamation. It was unclear whether she was exclaiming for Qin Fang's power or for the safety of the centuries-old tree.
It seemed as if he was aware, or maybe he never intended to hit the old tree in the first place.
Just a short distance from the tree, his body suddenly halted, yet the violent palm energy continued to imprinted forward...
Air-splitting Palm Force!
This is a very intuitive display of an Inner Sect Expert truly entering the advanced hall in the Martial World, generally only achievable by a master-level expert.
However, he had not yet reached that level and could already do it...
Although this was just a palm strike launched from a distance, the old tree seemed to be heavily struck. Though it wasn't directly broken, the entire tree trembled violently...
The lush leaves on the tree shook vigorously with a rustle, and the fallen leaves immediately tumbled down...
"So awesome..."
Ruan Yingxiu could definitely confirm that this man's hand never touched the tree, leaving at least twenty to thirty centimeters of space, yet such violent power caused the entire tree to tremble like this. Even as a worldly woman, she was completely stunned at this moment, almost instinctively exclaiming.
Suddenly, Ruan Yingxiu felt her heart and mind were drawn towards this man's supreme demeanor, swaying along.
Though not to the extent of becoming infatuated, recalling the scene of overwhelming dominance from yesterday also had a massive impact on a woman. Even Ruan Yingxiu, a proud beauty, couldn't help but feel a slight flutter in her heart...
"Hoo~~~"
After finishing this set of punches, Qin Fang was covered in sweat, but felt inexplicably refreshed, and his spirit was much improved.
Perhaps it was because of the abundant forest coverage in Anlang, with Luo City built on the forest's edge, creating a very beautiful environment. Even the air was fresh, making Qin Fang's practice far more effective than in those concrete cities...
"Still a little short..."
Ruan Yingxiu considered Qin Fang quite powerful, but as Qin Fang rested, he was self-reflecting and sighed helplessly.
Although he could unleash Air-splitting Palm Force, he was not a grandmaster-level expert. Releasing True Qi up to twenty to thirty centimeters was already his limit. Beyond that, the effect wasn't very good...
"It seems that without reaching the grandmaster level, there's a limit to the progression in strength!"
Realizing this, Qin Fang also thought helplessly.
But the longer he remains at Level 5, the more and stronger his accumulation and foundation, so the benefits after the breakthrough are substantial. Thus, although a bit helpless, Qin Fang wasn't in a great rush either!
While shaking his head, he turned around to leave.
At the turn, he immediately met eyes with Ruan Yingxiu, who was peeking at him through the window, both pausing for a moment.
Qin Fang naturally noticed Ruan Yingxiu's presence long ago, as someone whose strength rivaled a mid-master level Martial Artist. Lacking even a bit of such perception might have prevented him from reaching such a current level and might have led to his downfall at some point...
To this Ruan Family young lady, Qin Fang didn't have any special thoughts, only wishing to maintain a peaceful relationship temporarily.
If he could learn something about Sorcery from her, Qin Fang would be very pleased...
At his current stage, few things could truly threaten him. Besides guns and bombs, likely only those martial experts with a higher combat strength than him.
So after meeting eyes with Ruan Yingxiu, Qin Fang merely smiled slightly at her, as a greeting… After that, he tidied up a bit and returned to his room to wash and change clothes.
Watching Qin Fang's disappearing silhouette into the room, the expression on Ruan Yingxiu's face seemed quite peculiar, her eyes flickering uncertainly, unclear what she was thinking.
Then, Ruan Yingxiu tightened her slightly thin clothing and closed the window again, disappearing behind it as well… (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations or monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
