"That Blood Hand Eirande, brother, I guess I've avenged you now..."
Charlie kicked the old British man hard in the face, finally knocking him down, while muttering a pretentious comment... Except that, at this moment, Charlie seemed like a hasty romantic, groping over this old man who could be his father.
"Ghost Sword De Rossi... this old man probably feels like dying at this moment!"
Qin Fang and his companions were watching from the side, couldn't help but make a sarcastic comment.
Charlie's attack was truly despicable, targeting exclusively the lower parts of the old man... It rendered the old man immobile, albeit with a face full of shame and anger. If given the choice, this old man would probably rather die.
Ghost Sword De Rossi truly lives up to his reputation as a master who even Blood Hand Eirande couldn't handle. His Western swordsmanship is indeed quite formidable, not only are his moves cunning, but his sword's speed is exceptionally fast.
Even Qin Fang wouldn't dare claim certain victory if purely competing in swordsmanship with this Ghost Sword De Rossi...
However, in the end, Ghost Sword De Rossi still suffered a miserable defeat at the hands of Qin Fang, his sword being knocked away...
Without a sword, a swordsman becomes a toothless Tiger; he might still intimidate others but is far from his peak form. That's why he was easily knocked over by Charlie, who eagerly volunteered for the task, leading to such a tragic outcome.
It's said this old man lived a life of indulgence, even at his advanced age, he could still manage several women at night, never faltering... Especially since he practiced Western swordsmanship, and with a little tidying up, clad in fancy attire, he transforms into quite the charming elderly gentleman!
Some young women in Dragon Country particularly love to chat up these big-nosed foreigners, especially mature and wealthy ones like De Rossi. These young ladies would love nothing more than to marry him quickly... just waiting for the day he extends his legs and kicks the bucket, allowing them to inherit his wealth!
It turns out during his stay in Jiangzhou, the number of young women he entertained wasn't less than a hundred if not more than eighty...
Who would've thought, that such a handsome old man would be "played" so shamefully by another man. Upon realizing his "purity" was about to be compromised, this handsome old man suddenly felt a rush of desperation...
Goodbye, my beauties!
"I've heard one can bite off their tongue to commit suicide, should I give it a try?"
The old man De Rossi muttered uncertainly.
"Found it..."
At this moment, Charlie finally climbed off Ghost Sword De Rossi, licking his lips before reporting the good news to Qin Fang, then eagerly delivered something into Qin Fang's hands.
"Is everything alright now?"
This somewhat took De Rossi by surprise, his mood suddenly lightening up... He even overlooked losing the treasure he painstakingly acquired!
"Azure Dragon Qi Cultivation Technique?"
Seeing the treasure Charlie presented, Qin Fang was slightly taken aback, as he had a "book" in his possession that closely resembled this one, even bearing a similar name...
"Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise..."
Looking at the "book," Qin Fang couldn't help but mumble, "Could there also be a Vermilion Bird Qi Cultivation Technique and a White Tiger Qi Cultivation Technique?"
Now with two such Qi cultivation techniques in hand, namely Azure Dragon and Black Tortoise, they correspond with the Four Symbols, it's no wonder Qin Fang made such a sarcastic comment... After all, there are many dark chambers on the Third Floor of the Underground Palace, where Azure Dragon and Black Tortoise have already appeared, there might very well be Vermilion Bird and White Tiger as well!
Just like the Black Tortoise Qi Cultivation Technique Qin Fang possessed, this Azure Dragon Qi Cultivation Technique also has specific requirements for cultivation physique; it requires wood-type physique for one to cultivate...
"Huh, I can actually practice it?"
Originally thinking he couldn't cultivate again, Qin Fang unexpectedly discovered he was wrong this time, as the System prompted him that he could cultivate this secret technique.
"Should I practice or not?"
These two Qi cultivation techniques are certainly not ordinary given their presence on the Third Floor of the Underground Palace, though Qin Fang isn't quite sure just how extraordinary they are... Moreover, the elemental energy cultivated through this secret technique differs from True Qi and Gang Qi, which makes Qin Fang hesitate to try them recklessly.
"Let's put it aside for now, and slowly study it after returning!"
However, since Qin Fang is still in the Underground Palace facing an undoubtedly dangerous situation that can't afford any mistakes, he doesn't want any slip-ups during such a critical moment... Thus, Qin Fang decided to refrain from cultivating this secret technique for now, leaving everything until he leaves the palace.
"Continue onward..."
After securing the Azure Dragon Qi Cultivation Technique, Qin Fang didn't bother with Ghost Sword De Rossi and the others, and immediately led Charlie and his team to continue the operation.
It must be said that those who can do reasonably well on the third floor of the Underground Palace, and can barely keep their team intact, have more or less gained something from it...
Those dark chambers with well-hidden treasures usually have two or more Bronze Warriors guarding them. Without experts at the level of Gagarin to fend them off, it's quite difficult to retrieve treasures from such chambers. However, the ordinary dark chambers are relatively easier to deal with; they just require a cooperative team effort and the assistance of some skilled individuals, allowing the treasures to be extracted.
This has resulted in quite a few teams gaining something from their ventures into the third floor of the Underground Palace. These teams have become the targets for Qin Fang and his crew!
"This road is mine..."
Following that, Qin Fang and his team continued their robbery across various areas of the third floor of the Underground Palace, and Charlie was increasingly fluent in delivering this line, which had become the hallmark of their robbery squad.
It is said that young Charlie plans to further study and research the language of Dragon Country after leaving the Underground Palace, intending to develop various dialect versions of this sentence to ensure it doesn't fail in all sorts of situations...
For such a dedicated spirit of research, all Qin Fang could do was offer his support, as he had nothing more to add.
"Vincent... abort the mission, retreat!"
The operation continued, and according to Qin Fang's strategic planning, his team maintained a perfect robbery success rate with no defeats yet...
However, this perfect record was soon broken. With the sudden appearance of someone, Qin Fang had to immediately abandon what seemed to be a successful robbery plan and lead his men in retreat!
Even though Qin Fang's strength is among the top on the third floor, he's certainly considered one of the elite. Few can truly contend with him. Yet, every time he acts, he makes sure to thoroughly investigate the other party's background before making a move.
Ensuring each operation's success and completing all robberies within a short time... while avoiding highly skilled opponents to secure more time for subsequent actions.
This team ran rampant on the third floor, committing robbery... One or two times would be harmless, but they suddenly caused seven or eight incidents. Though they only seized four or five treasures, they've already attracted the attention of certain individuals.
Thus, Qin Fang and his team's actions faced significant limitations, no longer proceeding as smoothly as before... They might even encounter joint attacks from these experts!
Because they've successfully robbed too many treasures, they've turned into a mobile Treasure Mountain. Even Vincent, the main planner of this operation, and people from the Six Major Chinese Clans are tempted... Any piece of treasure here is incredibly valuable, and having seven or eight gathered on one person is indeed equivalent to a mobile Treasure Mountain.
It's precisely because of the many treasures Qin Fang and his team have seized, combined with those they've acquired before, that made many envious...
Vincent's appearance serves as a wake-up call to Qin Fang.
The opposition has clearly noticed Qin Fang's team and dispatched experts to encircle them... Even the team that almost succeeded earlier might have been intentionally released by Vincent as bait.
Fortunately, Qin Fang's Mini-map Function is powerful, detecting Vincent's conspiracy and abandoning the operation timely, maintaining team integrity, thus avoiding Vincent's schemes...
However, Qin Fang didn't completely abandon robbery due to Vincent's appearance, he merely became more cautious than before, acting only after thorough reconnaissance... Still completing robberies within the shortest time and then retreating swiftly!
"As a matter of fact..."
This action indeed brought Qin Fang a pleasant surprise: he actually acquired another "book".
"Vermilion Bird Qi Cultivation Technique..."
This time it's this one, just as Qin Fang predicted, indeed related to the Four Symbols; three books have been acquired, and three Symbols gathered, "Looks like only the White Tiger Qi Cultivation Technique is left!"
"Cannot be cultivated..."
Unfortunately, luck wasn't on Qin Fang's side this time. This Vermilion Bird Qi Cultivation Technique, suitable for fire attribute constitution cultivation, cannot be cultivated by Qin Fang...
"Seems like I'll have to wait for another opportunity..."
Nonetheless, this successful robbery marked the end of Qin Fang's robbery endeavors; Vincent has gathered nearly all the mercenaries, headed towards the Triple Life-and-Death Gates, attempting to rob further would be suicidal.
Not to mention that Vincent alone could annihilate all of them, including Qin Fang...
The assembled team exceeded five hundred people, comprising top experts from Hand of the Demon and Six Major Chinese Clans, even a single spit from each would severely injure Qin Fang and his team...
To attempt robbing such a team, one's brain must truly have been kicked by a mule...
"The operation ends here, I'll send you out!"
Upon realizing the situation, Qin Fang decisively disbanded the team and sent Charlie and the other five through the Gate of Life, transporting them directly out of the third floor of the Underground Palace. Meanwhile, Qin Fang quietly concealed himself, preparing to blend into the large unit. (To be continued.
