"Kondo Ryota?"

Looking at the man not far away, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Qin Fang's mouth as he softly murmured.

Clearly, only a master like Kondo Ryota would dare to look Qin Fang in the eye like this, and even dare to confront him with such an expression.

Having killed so many people, the bloodlust emanating from Qin Fang was extremely intense, the stench of blood particularly strong. It was estimated that animals sensitive to such auras would quickly flee upon approaching, as the killing intent and atmosphere of death were too powerful...

"Someone actually knows my name?"

Kondo Ryota was slightly surprised upon hearing Qin Fang mention his name. "It seems coming to Dragon Country was the right choice; my name spread so quickly..."

However, Qin Fang was almost dumbfounded by Kondo Ryota's statement; he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, as Kondo Ryota seemed to be excessively confident.

"But even if you know my name, it's useless. I won't let you go today... As the first Dragon Country person to proclaim the name Kondo Ryota, I will definitely leave you with a complete body!"

Obviously, Qin Fang still underestimated Kondo Ryota's confidence, and very soon he said something that almost made Qin Fang spew his food.

Nevertheless, this left Qin Fang in such a state that he almost suffered internal injuries from holding back his laughter.

"Ah, ignorance is indeed fearless..."

In the face of such a person as Kondo Ryota, Qin Fang really didn't know what to say; this guy was like a child who hadn't yet grown up, seemingly without the basic ability to distinguish things...

However, Qin Fang certainly wouldn't underestimate Kondo Ryota. This guy was a grandmaster-level expert, with his cultivation of the Art of Hemomancy reaching an exceedingly high level, and paired with something from the Bloodthirsty Grass, it was incredibly formidable. Even against Qin Fang, he couldn't claim complete certainty of victory.

"Stop the nonsense, let's fight..."

Qin Fang didn't want to delay time, nor give Kondo Ryota too many chances to make a move. With a flick of his katana, his body swiftly moved, heading straight for Kondo Ryota's vital spots.

"Well done..."

Once Kondo Ryota made a move, the feeling he gave was completely different. The previous demeanor was gone, replaced by a sinister and cunning air.

Pa-pa-pa-pa~~

Kondo Ryota was indeed not unworthy of being a grandmaster-level expert; his strength was very formidable. Even when empty-handed against Qin Fang, he was not at a disadvantage, his palms flying about, constantly striking Qin Fang's katana, emitting a clanging sound...

Pa~~

It was evident that Kondo Ryota wasn't merely striking the katana simplistically. With an opportunity presenting itself, he directly slapped Qin Fang's weapon out of his hand.

"Hmph, I can kill you just the same without a weapon..."

In fact, weapons were not Qin Fang's strong point. His skill in One-Handed Weapon Mastery had almost not been improved; the proficiency and level were not high, naturally making his techniques much weaker compared to Kondo Ryota.

But without a weapon, Qin Fang could really let loose, even more unconcerned about Kondo Ryota.

"Die..."

Kondo Ryota was not naïve. Seeing Qin Fang unarmed made him excited, and he immediately attacked without hesitation. When his palm energy was surging, a peculiar red hue emanated from his palm.

"Indeed it's the Art of Hemomancy..."

Seeing the change in Kondo Ryota's palm, Qin Fang understood clearly. It was obvious that Kondo Ryota intended to kill, planning to use the Art of Hemomancy against Qin Fang.

After all, compared to ordinary people's blood essence, a master like Qin Fang had exceptionally robust blood, perhaps even helping Kondo Ryota take another small step forward.

"Blood Burst!"

The Art of Hemomancy was extremely vicious; if struck by this palm, one's blood would dry up rapidly like Wu Jian's...

A Martial Artist's body was much stronger than an ordinary person. However, even with Qin Fang's body, getting hit by the Art of Hemomancy would surely mean disaster.

To prevent any accidents, Qin Fang almost without hesitation used the Blood Burst technique...

Sss~~

His Life Points were instantly drained by eighty percent, but Qin Fang immediately swallowed two Blood Replenishing Pills, restoring his Life Points to full instantly.

At this moment, Qin Fang was in the Blood Burst state, his overall strength skyrocketing to one hundred and twenty-five percent of the original, essentially equivalent to boosting a minor level.

With his strength increasing instantly, Qin Fang deliberately suppressed his aura and then explosively released it, directly charging at Kondo Ryota with his strongest palm energy.

"Die..."

As the palm energies of the two were about to collide, Kondo Ryota, who had been waiting for a long time, finally revealed his true colors. His aura suddenly changed, and he unleashed every ounce of strength with the intent to kill Qin Fang in one strike.

However...

Bang~~

The palm energies collided, and a massive figure was sent flying backwards. In a glimpse, one could see him spewing a mouthful of old blood...

As for the other person, he wasn't in great shape either. Though his body remained standing, the corner of his mouth was oozing a bright red blood...

The one who was sent flying was naturally Kondo Ryota. Although his Art of Hemomancy was incredibly powerful, in comparison to Qin Fang, who was using the Blood Explosion Technique, he was clearly at a disadvantage.

Even though he exerted full strength, he couldn't match Qin Fang in his blood explosion state. Ultimately, not only did his palm energy fail to hit, but it was sent back at him by Qin Fang's palm strike...

The terrifying palm energy from the Art of Hemomancy completely rebounded into Kondo Ryota's body, and the consequences were imaginable. He couldn't rise immediately, and even his entire body's energy and blood were slowly draining away...

"Ah, you reap what you sow..."

Qin Fang, regarding such an opponent, had no words other than this short evaluation.

Having dealt with Kondo Ryota, Qin Fang simply tidied up a bit, threw his corpse into the Props Box, and didn't bother checking the loot before immediately setting off to find the whereabouts of this organization's boss, Inoue Yu.

Everyone was dead, and the back was completely vulnerable. Yet, after searching around, Qin Fang couldn't find Inoue Yu. Without hesitation, he returned to the factory to rescue the unfortunate souls trapped in cages.

Choosing the nearest cage, Qin Fang twisted his arm, and the cage lock automatically opened. Out walked a man with a pallid complexion.

"Thank you, thank you... Thank you for saving us!"

The man expressed his gratitude, his face still pale, but better than before...

"No need to thank me, let's quickly save the others..."

Qin Fang replied indifferently, seeming unconcerned about the matter, while using his katana to slash at the iron lock, breaking it instantly and opening the cage.

"Come out quickly, come out..."

The man assisted Qin Fang by urging the victims trapped in cages, even helping to support those who were injured or infected.

In a short while, many had been rescued, leaving only a few individuals still trapped. The man seemed exhausted and paused to rest for a moment.

Puff~~

At that instant, Qin Fang's lowered blade suddenly shifted in a bizarre trajectory, swiftly piercing the man's heart.

"You... why?"

The man exclaimed in surprise, and the other victims were equally astonished, bewildered by Qin Fang's actions.

Still, they refrained from criticizing Qin Fang, for their escape depended on him...

Yet this act fueled their suspicion of him, occurring so abruptly it shocked and bewildered everyone, even rendering them a bit incapable of acceptance.

"Inoue Yu... you were too clever for your own good!"

Unperturbed by others' scrutiny, Qin Fang casually drew his knife back, a faint smile on his lips, gently pushing Inoue Yu's limp body down.

This seemingly inconspicuous man was actually the leader of the organization and boss of the underground factory, with Matsumoto merely a subordinate.

Perhaps, after Kondo Ryota fell, Inoue Yu sensed something amiss, prompting him to deploy this trick of Stealing the Beam Replacing the Pillar. Hardly anyone had met him, so he wasn't worried about being recognized, let alone by those suffering children in cages...

The unfortunate soul slain by Qin Fang was indeed Inoue Yu himself.

Unfortunately, Inoue Yu, poor misfortunate, never realized he wasn't as hidden as he thought, and before he could strike Qin Fang unexpectedly, he was killed instantly.

Originally, he possessed considerable expertise, capable of facing Qin Fang directly and withstand several moves.

But his chosen approach led to his demise without throwing even a single punch or palm, dying with immeasurable frustration!

Qin Fang had been mentally tallying their numbers all along...

From Matsumoto's memory, he knew the organization numbered thirty-two. Besides Matsumoto frequently going out, most remained in the factory, except on transaction days when more would venture out, usually seven or eight at most.

Qin Fang counted internally mainly to avoid missing anyone... and indeed, he caught a big fish – the boss, Inoue Yu!

It was a combination of luck and skill; Inoue Yu simply sealed his fate by coming under Qin Fang's knife, dying in a rather pitiable manner... (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
