The Tang Sect arrived even faster than Qin Fang had anticipated. Qin Fang had just settled Chu Yunxuan in a hotel and went to the Blue Island black market to purchase some items.

Just as he walked out of the black market, Qin Fang felt that he had been targeted.

The other party seemed to know that this was a busy area, making it inconvenient to act immediately, so they were closely following Qin Fang…

Perhaps they thought they were hidden enough, but they couldn't escape the detection of Ding Chen's mini-map function, which clearly revealed their names, identities, and strengths.

Qin Fang walked calmly ahead; knowing that the Tang Sect had caught up, he obviously couldn't return to the hotel, as that would be inviting the wolf into the house.

Without alerting the Tang Sect, Qin Fang pretended not to notice and meandered unhurriedly around Blue Island's city area.

But he wasn't wandering aimlessly; his direction was heading towards the sparsely populated outskirts…

The Tang Sect had caught up, so it was clear that larger forces would soon arrive. To tackle this trouble, Qin Fang planned to deal with them all at once to avoid future threats from hidden masters.

Qin Fang deliberately headed towards the city outskirts. At first, the Tang Sect experts following him might not have noticed, but gradually they felt something was amiss.

There were three Tang Sect disciples trailing Qin Fang: two at the Master Level Early Stage, and one at Level 5. Such a lineup could only be used for fleeing, and only ancient sects like Tang Sect and Shaolin were qualified for this.

"Tang Shu, do you think this kid is deliberately leading us?"

Qin Fang's actions made the Tang Sect disciples suspicious, gathering together and whispering to each other.

"I think he's probably doing it on purpose…"

No one is foolish; such an obvious thing isn't hard to guess.

"Everyone be careful… This person's strength is significant. When necessary, we need to join forces! We just need to wait until the Elders arrive..."

Understanding Qin Fang's purpose, the Tang Sect disciples became cautious, continuing to follow but maintaining a reasonable distance for easy unification if needed.

These three Tang Sect disciples had targeted Qin Fang, and this information naturally spread to other disciples like Tang Huaiyuan and Tang Huaiming...

At the moment, these three disciples were responsible for surveillance, continuously reporting Qin Fang's movements while others rapidly headed towards them…

Tang Nan's strength reached the Mid-Master Level, having learned two major skills from the Tang Sect, making him formidable, even more than Tang Zhan.

But even so, Tang Nan was killed by Qin Fang. Their strength was clearly no match for Qin Fang's, so they had to be extremely cautious.

Such changes were clearly observed by Qin Fang, knowing it was unnecessary to continue pretending. These people had reacted.

"The Tang Sect will catch up soon… These individuals must be prevented from relaying information any further!"

Seeing that the three Tang Sect disciples had become aware, Qin Fang no longer needed to pretend. He paused slightly, formulating a plan.

Upon noticing Qin Fang's pace slowed, the trailing Tang Sect disciples did likewise, further evidencing Qin Fang's concerns.

Qin Fang simply smiled to himself, spotting a certain alley, hastened his steps, and quickly vanished around the corner.

Though it was a more suburban area, it was still within Blue Island's city limits, just slightly more remote, becoming isolated at night.

Even during the day, few people were seen as most were out working.

"Huh, quickly pursue..."

Suddenly seeing Qin Fang disappear, the three paused briefly before reacting, discarding their previous caution to pursue closely.

Should Qin Fang slip under their noses, they'd face difficulties reporting back… so despite reservations, they sped up in pursuit.

The three Tang Sect disciples quickly chased forward. The city's outskirts weren't a barren mountain but had many low buildings in disarray. If Qin Fang hid in some corner, they might never find him.

Just as they feared, upon reaching the alley entrance, Qin Fang was nowhere to be seen in the labyrinth-like alleys, likely having escaped via another route...

"Damn it, quick, pursue..."

A result they did not wish for, yet regret came too late. They quickly tracked Qin Fang's whereabouts, preparing to chase him to the alley's end and explore available routes.

"Are you looking for me?"

Just when these three Tang Sect disciples were anxiously unsure of what to do, a lazy voice suddenly spoke beside their ears...

The three of them felt a breeze blow by, their vision blurred for a moment, and then a part of their body seemed to have been pricked by a needle, standing there motionless.

It wasn't that they didn't want to move, but they couldn't move at all, as if someone had immobilized them...

At this moment, that face appeared in front of them, and it turned out to be Qin Fang, whom they were following... Although they knew Qin Fang's strength was significantly greater than theirs, they still believed that the three of them together could absolutely hold off Qin Fang for quite some time.

Unfortunately, the reality was far different from what they had imagined. Qin Fang didn't even give them the chance to join forces and easily subdued all three of them.

"Rise..."

After immobilizing the three, Qin Fang displayed a faint smile on his face, grabbed one person and threw him up, and that sturdy body flew over the adjacent wall about two meters high and entered the other side.

It didn't take Qin Fang much time, and soon they were inside the yard on the other side...

This was a relatively open yard, which seemed to be an abandoned factory. There wasn't anyone around. Qin Fang had briefly checked it when he entered earlier, and now it was the perfect setting to deal with these three Tang Sect disciples.

"What... what do you want?"

Being tossed into this eerie yard, away from the outside crowd, it could be assumed that if they were killed and their bodies discarded here by Qin Fang, it would be challenging for anyone to discover.

These three Tang Sect disciples were not only flustered but also, if not for the dignity of being a martial artist, a Tang Sect disciple supporting them, they might have already been screaming for help.

"Don't worry, as long as you answer my questions obediently, you can leave here safely..."

Qin Fang smiled and said indifferently.

"You... we won't say anything!"

However, when Qin Fang said this, the trio's expressions changed dramatically, and they looked at each other before expressing their determination.

"I see you're quite determined, but I'm not sure how long you can maintain that determination..."

This kind of reaction wasn't unexpected for Qin Fang. After all, these people were from the Tang Sect and wouldn't be easily intimidated like those who are afraid of death.

While speaking, Qin Fang took out a silver needle and approached the nearest Tang Sect disciple, promptly inserting it into his neck.

"Starting now... enjoy life a bit!"

Qin Fang chuckled and said, then proceeded to take out another needle, lifting the somewhat stiff hand of the Tang Sect disciple named Tang Shu, and pricked his fingertip...

"Hiss~~"

As soon as the needle went in, Tang Shu gasped involuntarily.

However, as he gasped, he touched the silver needle inserted in his neck, making the sensation of gasping extremely painful, almost instinctively wanting to wail, but he found his throat seemed blocked, unable to make any sound.

It is said that ten fingers are connected to the heart, and when pricked, it's as if a needle was stabbed in the heart, causing Tang Shu's body to twitch.

"This is just the beginning..."

Such a small pain might be unbearable for ordinary people, but for someone with a strong will like a martial artist, it wouldn't have much effect.

Although Tang Shu was in extreme pain, his body tense, veins bulging, he still showed no signs of submission...

"Next comes the main course..."

Qin Fang did not take out more silver needles but instead gently rotated the silver needle...

"My acupuncture technique is called the Yanluo Eighteen Needles, consisting of eighteen needles. However, few can endure beyond eight needles... Let's officially begin, the first needle!"

While speaking, Qin Fang lightly rotated the silver needle, his movements incredibly gentle, without any hint of bloodthirstiness or lethality.

Yet Tang Shu quickly began to react, as the gentle-looking silver needle immediately caused his body to tremble.

"The second needle..."

It seemed as though Qin Fang was completely unaware of Tang Shu's reaction, and proceeded with the second needle.

This time, Tang Shu's reaction was even more intense than before. His immobilized body trembled violently, his face turned pale without a trace of blood, indicating the tremendous fear he was enduring...(to be continued.
