"Young Master Xu, let it go..."

However, Qin Fang pulled Xu Zizhen back at this time, not letting him fight for any justice for Qin Fang.

Although it was Qin Fang's first visit to Xu Family Island, it wasn't difficult to notice a few clues about the situation... This middle-aged man's strength and status were quite high, much higher than Xu Zizhen's.

Perhaps if Xu Zizhen's father was here, there might be a chance to reason, but just Xu Zizhen alone wouldn't be sufficient.

The middle-aged man's intention was already quite clear. Seeing that the bet couldn't be canceled, he could only force Qin Fang to choose another way to compensate... As for how to compensate later, everything would be negotiable.

In fact, whether there would be any compensation at all... would depend on both his and Zhu Ming's mood.

If that's the case, then Qin Fang probably wouldn't get anything out of it, and might even end up being hated by this person, perhaps even losing his life.

Of course, this pertains to ordinary people. For Qin Fang, that clearly wasn't the case.

"Mr. Qin..."

Xu Zizhen, with a look of guilt, gazed at Qin Fang. He wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qin Fang gesturing with his hand.

At this moment, Qin Fang turned to face the middle-aged man, wearing a slight, faint smile, saying, "Your face... How much is it worth?"

"Uh..."

Upon the utterance of these words, everyone present was shocked, including Xu Zizhen and Zhu Ming... all were dumbfounded.

As for the middle-aged man, his face at this moment was completely rigid, expression lifeless... clearly showing just how surprised and upset he was.

"You... dare to insult me?"

However, soon the middle-aged man reacted, his face becoming quite angry and his tone sharp. The aura around him suddenly changed, as the raging Sword Intent surged skyward, and the sword behind him was almost ready to burst out. Strands of Sword Qi started to overflow...

Everyone's expression around turned extremely serious, Xu Zizhen's face was the most grim, but being suppressed by such a powerful aura made even breathing difficult, intending to help but unable to.

The others, with strength far below the middle-aged man, though slightly better off than Xu Zizhen, were clearly even less likely to intervene...

Zhu Ming, his expression shifted from astonishment to schadenfreude, now looking at Qin Fang with a mocking face, as if waiting for trouble to befall Qin Fang!

Of course, this entire aura was aimed at Qin Fang, others only caught a slight portion, with Qin Fang truly at the eye of the storm...

But...

"Insult you? Hahaha... You're flattering yourself!"

Qin Fang seemed completely unaffected by the middle-aged man's aura suppression, not blushing or panting, even his eyebrows remained uncrumpled, the smile on his face just as bright. He slowly retorted with the words.

"Hiss~~~"

If the previous sentence was just merely showing disregard, then this statement... was openly slapping him in the face! A fierce and brutal slapping...

"Courting death!"

This time, the middle-aged man was thoroughly infuriated, releasing the full aura of a Grandmaster Sword Cultivator, the sword behind him instantly thrust out from the scabbard, landing in the middle-aged man's hand.

For Xu Family's Sword Cultivators, they only have one sword in their lifetime, the sword is there with them until death... After years of hard training, the sword and cultivator have long developed a blood connection, the middle-aged man's rage made the sword draw itself, showcasing the peak of Xu Family Sword Cultivator's prowess.

The middle-aged man was about to act against Qin Fang, in his fury, regardless of whether Qin Fang was a guest of the Xu Family... He had suffered great humiliation and wanted to dismember this person to vent his anger, other concerns were temporarily put aside.

"Wait..."

But Qin Fang spoke leisurely, "Our matter will be dealt with later! But before that, I'll reclaim my earned bet... Since you are unwilling to act, I should do it myself!"

"What?"

Hearing Qin Fang's words, everyone was dumbfounded, the middle-aged man's face turned completely purple-blue, eyes seemingly ready to shoot fire...

"Idiot! Really an idiot... If you dare, take it!"

Zhu Ming, first stunned, soon reacted like he'd heard a particularly funny joke, not only not afraid but rather excitedly taunting Qin Fang... even intentionally waving that arm!

"Of course I'll come... and take some interest!"

Ignoring Zhu Ming's provocation completely, Qin Fang treated it as a clown performing, merely shrugged it off.

Responding to such clown-like poor performance, only actual action could truly slap him hard in the face...

"Left hand..."

With these words, Qin Fang vanished from his spot, transforming into a black shadow, rushing straight towards Zhu Ming.

"Not good!"

Seeing Qin Fang make a move, the middle-aged man was slightly stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, shouting loudly...and then his entire body moved as well, trying to stop Qin Fang from making his move!

Actually, when Qin Fang said he was going to make a move against Zhu Ming, he was inwardly disdainful, but he still took a little precaution...

However, he underestimated Qin Fang's strength too much, and now that he wanted to intervene, it was already too late!

Swish~~

Only a silver flash was seen... A dark object immediately flew into the air, while Qin Fang's figure swiftly passed by Zhu Ming's side, moving at an extreme speed, so fast that Zhu Ming's bodyguards didn't even have a chance to react.

"Ah~~~"

It wasn't until Qin Fang was already standing still in the distance behind them that the others reacted, and Zhu Ming's scream barely came out.

"Right hand..."

Yet, at this moment, Qin Fang moved again, accompanied by a "well-intentioned reminder."

"Bastard!"

The middle-aged man was also enraged. It was bad enough that he underestimated Qin Fang's strength, but now he felt humiliated by Qin Fang, especially with Qin Fang's "spot kill" tactics, which were nothing short of a direct slap to his face.

Faced with Qin Fang's "provocation," this middle-aged man naturally couldn't show weakness, roaring as his presence surged, forcefully charging towards Qin Fang's shadow...

At this moment, he no longer cared about Zhu Ming, whether Zhu Ming was cut off a few hands or even lost his life, he wouldn't care... What he cared about was his own self-esteem being gravely challenged, and he had to regain his honor!

To achieve this, when this middle-aged man made a move, it was his strongest killer move, his most sharp sword cadence, infusing it with his strongest Sword Intent... He was not trying to stop Qin Fang anymore; he intended to kill.

"Fool..."

However, when he confidently attempted to kill Qin Fang, he heard Qin Fang's mocking taunt in his ear.

"Ah~~~"

Accompanying Qin Fang's taunt was Zhu Ming's sharp scream, and simultaneously, another shadow flew up, shockingly Zhu Ming's right hand...

Just as Qin Fang said, one move, one hand, without exception!

"Now... collecting interest!"

However, Qin Fang didn't stop there, saying with a smiling face, and then moved again.

Whoosh~~~

With a slight exertion at his feet, Qin Fang turned into a phantom shadow, then rushed straight towards the wailing Zhu Ming, who had lost both hands...

"Brother-in-law, save...ah~~"

Poor Zhu Ming, just about to call for help, but before he could finish speaking, he let out a scream, then leaned his body and fell directly to the side... because a sword light flashed by, chopping off his leg.

Whoosh~~~

But then, before Zhu Ming was completely down, another sword light flashed by, and his other leg similarly detached from his body...

Human stick!

In the blink of an eye, the once proud Zhu Ming now became a limbless human stick... except for a mouth that kept wailing, no longer human, nor ghost!

"I'll kill you!"

Qin Fang's attack not only tormented Zhu Ming severely but also greatly offended this middle-aged man... He was somewhat losing his mind now, roaring, his aura rapidly climbing, attempting to unleash his most terrifying killer move.

Even though he knew it would harm him considerably, he couldn't stop the urgent desire to cut Qin Fang into pieces!

"Hey, you there?"

Yet, when this middle-aged man was brewing his killer move, he heard Qin Fang's leisurely, teasing voice, "If you don't want this fool to die, I suggest you quickly stop the bleeding for him..."

"Ugh..."

This one sentence almost made the middle-aged man feel like vomiting blood...

Looking at Zhu Ming, who had lost all his limbs and turned into a human stick... Although he wouldn't die immediately, if the bleeding continued without stopping, the chance of dying was almost ninety-nine percent!

"Damn it!"

This middle-aged man was played miserably by Qin Fang, looking at Qin Fang who kept a distance and then at the bleeding, wailing Zhu Ming lying on the ground, his face turned alternating green and white, as if playing a face-changing show.

"I won't let this slide..."

Ultimately, he could only leave behind this fierce statement as he picked up Zhu Ming's body and headed off somewhere...(To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation.)
