Qin Fang's speed was extremely fast. After escaping from the ice, he immediately rushed towards the direction of the Thousand-Year Cold Jade with unmatched swiftness.

However, the freezing speed in this Cold Abyss was even faster. Just as Qin Fang was about to reach the Thousand-Year Cold Jade, he suddenly felt a shiver run down his spine, and then a thick layer of ice quickly formed around him, completely encapsulating Qin Fang.

Bam~~

Yet, Ding Chen paid no heed. Once again, True Qi rapidly surged, quickly shattering the thick layer of ice around him, and he escaped from the firm ice once more.

This time, the distance to the Thousand-Year Cold Jade was much closer, and Qin Fang could almost grasp it with a stretch of his hand…

But the bone-chilling cold assaulted him, and the surrounding temperature was extremely low, quickly enveloping Ding Chen again…

After repeating this process several times, Qin Fang's hand finally landed on the piece of Thousand-Year Cold Jade!

Buzz~~

A low, dull sound emanated from the bottom of the Cold Abyss. It even felt as if the entire Cold Abyss, and even the entire cave was trembling.

"Rise…"

Qin Fang didn't care much; he shouted loudly in his heart, and saw the piece of Thousand-Year Cold Jade immediately transform into a beam of light, rapidly disappearing into Ding Chen's body.

In its original place, a very deep cave appeared. It seemed that the Thousand-Year Cold Jade had remained here mostly to suppress this cave.

The cave was very deep, and whether or not it contained something like the 108 heroes of Liangshan, Qin Fang wasn't very sure. But when the cave appeared, it quickly absorbed the water from the Cold Abyss… a violent whirlpool also formed, pulling Ding Chen's body towards it.

This was a very dangerous process; a slight misstep could result in Qin Fang perishing here.

"Luckily, I was prepared! Time to leave…"

Qin Fang tightly gripped the steel wire tied around his body and immediately pressed the lever on it, feeling a tightness in his waist. A powerful force pulled Qin Fang's body upward rapidly.

Perhaps because the Thousand-Year Cold Jade had been taken, the water in the Cold Abyss remained extremely cold, but it was noticeably better than before. Though Qin Fang's body was still freezing, it was far better than before. The thin ice layer did not affect Qin Fang at all, but became a slight protection for him!

The whirlpool was more evident at the bottom of the Cold Abyss but became weaker at the top, with the water flow becoming much calmer.

This was quite beneficial for Qin Fang. The pulling force on his waist was quite strong, not even affected much by the ice layer, pulling him upward towards the surface.

Wow~~~

Finally, Qin Fang burst out of the water, and his head surfaced.

"Phew~~ At least it didn't disappoint me!"

After bursting out of the Cold Abyss, emerging from the surface, Qin Fang ignored everything and simply gasped for air with large breaths, feeling quite pleased.

"Huh, why is it so quiet?"

But after steadying his breath, Qin Fang realized that it was too quiet here, eerily so, making him sense that something was amiss.

Qin Fang's eyes quickly scanned the area and immediately noticed the old man standing by the Cold Abyss, standing beside a Seven Stars Grass.

"Uh... already back?"

The old man didn't appear to have any injuries, at most, his clothes were slightly torn. It seemed Liu Xianjun and others had given this Grandmaster-level expert a bit of trouble, but hadn't managed to harm him.

As for that expert brother whom Qin Fang had knocked unconscious, his position had shifted slightly, but he remained in a Turtle Breathing State. It wasn't clear whether the old Grandmaster didn't know how to counter it or understood that this state was more appropriate for that expert brother.

"Who are you?"

The old Grandmaster looked warily at Qin Fang as he emerged from the Cold Abyss, his tone slightly stiff.

As a Grandmaster-level expert living by this Cold Abyss for many years, he surely understood how terrifying the coldness of this abyss was.

Such a bone-chilling Cold Abyss, just a touch would lead to an invasion of cold, being covered by a layer of ice. The Cold Abyss was essentially inaccessible.

Yet Qin Fang not only went in but also seemed at ease inside. The old Grandmaster couldn't help but be astonished.

"If I said I was just here to buy soy sauce, would you believe it?"

Seeing this old Grandmaster, Qin Fang was a bit annoyed. He had already secured the Thousand-Year Cold Jade as quickly as possible, but he didn't expect Liu Xianjun and the others to be so ineffective, unable to hold on even for such a short time, forcing him into a direct confrontation with this Grandmaster-level expert.

Facing the old Grandmaster's questions, Qin Fang wore a faint smile of amusement on his face and said playfully, while his body slowly moved toward the shore.

The water temperature in the Cold Abyss had started to rise slightly, but this change in temperature was not going to be obvious in such a short time.

Although Qin Fang was in the Cold Abyss without any danger, it was still unfavorable for him, after all, his opponent was not someone like Liu Xianjun, a Grandmaster-level expert, but a Grandmaster-level expert whose power was nearly as terrifying as the Bloody-handed Demon Tu San...

"Just passing through..."

Hearing Qin Fang's teasing words, the old Grandmaster's face turned somewhat grim, perhaps it was the first time he had been taunted in such a manner.

Qin Fang climbed ashore from another side, slightly shook his True Qi, and immediately shook off the ice, thus gaining true freedom.

He didn't choose to approach this old Grandmaster for fear that he might suddenly attack, as the terror of a Grandmaster-level expert was far beyond that of a Grandmaster-level expert.

"Since you refuse to tell the truth, I'll capture you first and talk later..."

However, being mocked by Qin Fang, the old Grandmaster's face also turned a bit unpleasant, and almost without hesitation, he transformed into a Fei Ying swooping down from mid-air.

"Bring it on..."

A huge palm quickly attacked Qin Fang; its speed and angle were almost flawless, making it nearly impossible for Qin Fang to evade. Yet, Qin Fang showed no intention of escaping; instead, he shouted loudly while quickly gathering his True Qi, seemingly planning to take the opponent's strike head-on.

Bam~~

This palm strike was definitely powerful; as soon as it made contact, it erupted with a deafening noise, causing the not-too-large cave to shake as if it were on the brink of collapse.

Fortunately, the vibrations in the cave caused by the palm energy's shockwave did not last long, and it soon returned to its previous calm...

But Qin Fang clearly did not end here; at this moment, he became a meteor, quickly flying backward, seemingly suffering a heavy blow.

However, the direction he flew back into seemed to be an empty grotto in this cave, and Qin Fang's body almost fell into this position, immediately blending into the darkness.

Was Qin Fang really injured by the opponent?

Obviously not.

This was entirely intentional by Qin Fang; when the Grandmaster-level expert unleashed tremendous Strength, he himself flew backward in this grotto with the fastest speed,

This grotto is connected to many surrounding grottos, and without knowing the path, anything unexpected could happen in such a cave network.

But Qin Fang obviously didn't care about these things; besides the great threat posed by the Grandmaster-level expert, such a maze-like path might not necessarily affect him.

This Korean Grandmaster's Strength was very strong, making Qin Fang have no intention to engage in combat; it wasn't that Qin Fang lacked courage, but it was unnecessary.

Qin Fang was now only at the Master Level Peak, virtually invincible below Grandmaster level, but his defense was quite good.

The old Grandmaster frowned as he rushed over, glancing at the dark grotto. It was clearly a rarely traveled path, and once inside, one would have to rely on themselves to find a way out.

"If you want to catch me, you're still a bit short..."

Qin Fang thought to himself, then quickly disappeared into the winding black cave, leaving the old Grandmaster who reached the path looking stunned.

He knew very well how strong his palm energy was; with one palm, hardly anyone could remain standing, and the rest... Ding Chen just considered it as suffering a hidden loss,

"Got away..."

Qin Fang moved quickly through such a grotto, continuously correcting various routes, also hoping to quickly deal with Qin Fang and others.

Qin Fang was not in a hurry; after all, he had various foods in his Props Box, and his portable tools were quite plentiful. Even if he got lost in the grotto, Qin Fang wasn't worried, and slowly searched for the way out of this cave.

"What a remarkable young man..."

The old Grandmaster couldn't help but praise Qin Fang for his skilled escape.

As a Grandmaster-level expert, he hadn't originally intended to be so hard on Qin Fang. Now seeing Qin Fang's proficient escape, there was no big problem, and the old Grandmaster didn't bother to chase anymore because it was simply impossible to catch him.

It wasn't that he himself had no problems, but Qin Fang running away wasn't an issue. However, this cave network was extremely complex, and whether or not one could walk out alive was the true test of a master.

As for whether Qin Fang could walk out of it, the old Grandmaster wasn't very certain, after all, he wasn't very familiar with Qin Fang...(To be continued.
