Cui Zhimin held his breath completely. Although Qin Fang was right below him, almost within reach, he still resisted the urge to launch a sneak attack.

Because he knew that his injuries were severe, so severe that he could no longer exert excessive force, which would only cause his wounds to reopen, and it was a big question whether he could survive.

Moreover, Qin Fang wasn't injured at all. Although this distance was very close, Cui Zhimin was not confident he could kill with one hit, so he naturally didn't dare to take this risk.

But no matter how much Cui Zhimin calculated, he never anticipated that Qin Fang had already discovered his whereabouts and had walked under this tree on purpose.

What happened next was something Cui Zhimin couldn't have imagined even if he cracked his head thinking about it...

When the bullets came, Cui Zhimin had actually already sensed the danger coming, and he vaguely felt that Qin Fang might have discovered him.

However, at this moment, heavily injured and completely unprepared, facing the onslaught of a powerful M4 assault rifle, even a master like Cui Zhimin couldn't escape this calamity.

A myriad of bullets came as if bullets cost nothing, almost completely covering the trunk of this tree. The bullets rained down, almost shooting all the leaves off the tree, and although Cui Zhimin used some of the trunk as cover, he ultimately couldn't escape.

Moreover, even many of the thinner trunks were broken by the bullets. Cui Zhimin had nowhere to flee...

Without any suspense, Cui Zhimin, completely unprepared, was directly riddled by Qin Fang's gunfire. His entire body was covered with bullet holes, and he didn't even have time to let out a scream before he dropped dead... His death was truly tragic.

Thud~~

The dead naturally can no longer exert any force, and Cui Zhimin's mangled corpse, almost unrecognizable, fell from the tree, crashing heavily to the ground. Blood quickly spread out on the ground, turning the whole area into a blood-soaked scene.

"Idiot!"

Looking at Cui Zhimin's corpse, Qin Fang sneered disdainfully.

This guy thought that by teaming up with Shi Yuan, he could deal with Qin Fang, but little did he know that in the end, Qin Fang remained unscathed, while he and Shi Yuan both fell one after the other.

Especially Cui Zhimin, the Korean seemed to be too clever for his own good. If he had teamed up with Shi Yuan from the beginning, Qin Fang might not have succeeded so easily. After all, two master-level peak experts teaming up, even grandmaster-level experts would be wary...

But Cui Zhimin thought he could let Shi Yuan drain Qin Fang's strength, and then he could easily pick the benefits when they were both weakened...

Unfortunately, Cui Zhimin overestimated Shi Yuan and his own capabilities, while underestimating Qin Fang's strength, leading to this result.

As for wanting to escape... Qin Fang would never allow that. For this reason, Qin Fang even gave up the plan to kill him with his own hands to gain a lot of experience points and directly used gunfire to kill him.

Cui Zhimin came from the Demon Sect, which was something Qin Fang always feared. To avoid extended complications or unexpected incidents, Qin Fang thought it was more worthwhile to use a gun.

Killing with a gun might mean losing a lot of experience points, but at least safety was guaranteed. Qin Fang had an infinite magazine, so he wasn't worried about running out of bullets. Just like that shooting earlier, even if he fired continuously for days on end, he wouldn't worry about running out of bullets... Looking at Cui Zhimin with at least a hundred bullet holes, his body was completely shredded by bullets!

No matter what, as long as the man is dead, Qin Fang has fewer troubles.

Seeing the shattered corpse on the ground, faintly flickering with a subtle glow, Qin Fang knew that Cui Zhimin had dropped something.

"Hmm?"

Just as Qin Fang was about to pick up the item dropped by Cui Zhimin, a figure appeared on the mini-map, rapidly approaching.

"Steward Fu..."

Qin Fang's scouting skill immediately identified the newcomer as Steward Fu from the Fu Family, which made Qin Fang's expression change slightly. Without a moment's hesitation, he quickly moved, darting into the nearby dense forest.

But before entering, Qin Fang conveniently threw Cui Zhimin's corpse into the props box; leaving the corpse behind would definitely be a huge trouble.

Although Cui Zhimin is from the Cui Family and Steward Fu is from the Fu Family, the two families are irreconcilable. However, with Cui Zhimin's sudden tragic death in these mountains, the Cui Family definitely won't let this pass, and the Fu Family certainly won't want to be the scapegoat taking the blame, so what happens next is really hard to say.

Qin Fang isn't afraid of the Cui Family's revenge, he simply doesn't want to attract unnecessary trouble for the time being. Besides, disposing of Cui Zhimin's body isn't particularly tedious; he could easily handle it.

"Huh, where is the person?"

Almost as soon as Qin Fang left, Steward Fu followed behind, barely missing a confrontation between the two.

Of course, Qin Fang was the first to notice Steward Fu and timed his departure carefully, naturally avoiding a collision with Steward Fu.

So, when Steward Fu arrived, the area was already deserted, except for the lingering scent of thick smoke in the air and the pool of blood on the ground that hadn't been cleaned up, indicating that a ferocious battle had recently taken place here.

With a calm face, Steward Fu inspected the vicinity, looked at the scattered shell casings, observed the brutally shot tree, and examined the pool of blood on the ground...

His eyes then began searching around, as the blood hadn't completely cooled, suggesting the person hadn't left long ago. He seemed intent on discovering some traces here.

Unfortunately, Qin Fang was very cautious, rarely leaving any traces. Cui Zhimin's body was tucked away in the Props Box, so even if taken away, no evidence would be left on the ground, making it impossible for an experienced veteran like Steward Fu to find any clues.

Ultimately, Steward Fu could only shake his head helplessly. He knew someone was seriously injured or even dead here, but deciding whether it was Qin Fang or Shi Yuan was indeed difficult.

From the perspective of Family Head Fu Qinglin, it seemed likely that the unfortunate one was Shi Yuan, that old devil... In that case, Steward Fu felt it was quite a good piece of news for the Fu Family.

Of course, if Steward Fu knew besides the old devil Shi Yuan, Qin Fang also killed a Cui Family expert named Cui Zhimin, he would be even happier.

Although the Fu Family and the Cui Family co-organized this Sword Tournament, their relationship is actually very poor, with both wishing to destroy the other to be happy.

Doing things this way is actually a last resort, mainly because the power of the two families is too close.

The power referred to here is not the young experts' strength or the comprehensive strength of the family but primarily the comparison of both families' experts.

In the Martial World, Grandmaster-level experts are the real fighting force and the true foundation of a family, and the more such experts there are, the stronger the family is.

This is why families like the J Family and the Ryu Family, although they have numerous members, even larger than the Cui Family and the Fu Family, are still far inferior to these two families.

These second-rate families can consider themselves extremely lucky to have even one Grandmaster-level expert emerge, while in first-rate families like the Fu and Cui families, even younger generations are reaching Grandmaster-level.

Cui Zhimin held a high position within the Cui Family, probably second only to Family Head Cui Haoyu, and he's already considered one of the top experts, with few others in the entire family who can match him.

The fall of such an expert would surely have a significant impact, temporarily lowering the overall strength of the Cui Family by a level, and if the Fu Family learns of this, they will probably take some action.

Of course, even though Steward Fu had tracked the area, he didn't see or hear anything, naturally unaware that the person killed was Cui Zhimin and not the Shi Yuan he imagined.

Shi Yuan was indeed also eliminated by Qin Fang, but few are aware of the conspiracy between Shi Yuan and Cui Zhimin, as Steward Fu was oblivious to it, meaning he had no idea apart from Qin Fang and Shi Yuan, there was a third person involved...

...

Qin Fang couldn't care less about these family struggles. He swiftly left the tracking area of Steward Fu and hurried back towards the Fu Family's old residence.

Like when he left earlier, he returned to his courtyard unnoticed, quietly entering his room.

The whole process took less than an hour for him, making it unnoticeable in such a lengthy night...

Yet, what happened tonight will undoubtedly cause quite a stir, potentially shaking the foundations of a certain family or power.

Qin Fang remained calm, so much so that even Liu Xianhe, who lived next to him, didn't know Qin Fang had been out and killed two people.

Now, Qin Fang took out the two bodies from the Props Box, eager to see what items these two Master-level Peak experts had dropped.

Although rare items can now be exchanged with experience points and are not particularly tempting for Qin Fang, certain rare skills or special cultivation manuals can only be obtained by defeating powerful Grandmaster-level experts...(To be continued.
