...

Although it was a moment too late, Tang Nan and Tang Wei made their move once again.

The two split to either side, attacking from left and right, aiming straight for Qin Fang's vital ribs with extremely fast sword strikes that came at tricky angles and with cunning techniques.

This time, it wasn't a mere probe. Their attacks were ruthless and venomous, coordinated with tacit understanding, the sequences orderly and structured. The layered brilliance of their swordplay and their mastery of rhythm immediately caused Qin Fang's already cautious gaze to grow even sharper.

"Bring it on..."

With a loud shout, Qin Fang lightly tapped with his foot, barely moving his body, but shifted back overall, managing to dodge the combined assault of Tang Nan and Tang Wei's swords.

After narrowly escaping this ordeal, Qin Fang obviously couldn't just stand by. With another fierce tap of his foot, he abruptly changed direction from retreating to surging forward, switching from a single military spike to wielding two. He conjured a series of black phantoms, lunging straight at Tang Nan and Tang Wei.

Clang clang clang~~

Tang Nan and Tang Wei missed with their strike at the end of their move's momentum. Qin Fang seized the moment to counterattack, his dual military spikes boldly deflecting their weapons. His accelerated body didn't slow down as he charged straight towards Tang Xin, who was not far ahead.

From beginning to end, he never intended to deal Tang Nan a fatal blow. His true objective was still to rescue someone. As long as he could save Tang Xin, his goal would be accomplished.

"Stop him..."

Tang Nan's face changed, he hadn't expected Qin Fang to be struggling against the two of them and still unwavering in his intention to rescue.

This move took them by surprise, and by the time they reacted, they were already at a disadvantage.

"Stop!"

Seeing Qin Fang's actions, Tang Wei's expression tightened. If Qin Fang managed to rescue someone despite their joint attack, it would be a severe loss of face for the Tang Sect disciples.

With a loud cry, Tang Wei erupted with a surge of powerful force, transforming into a bullet, merging with his short sword to become one, akin to the legendary sword unity technique of lore, forming a thick, black sword shadow, thrusting straight for Qin Fang's back.

This move was as fierce as thunder, with a terrifying attack power. Even though Tang Wei was the latter to act, Qin Fang could feel the chilling sword qi on his back very clearly.

Without turning back, Qin Fang knew that the opponent had used a killer move, and the observant Tang Xin, seeing Tang Wei use such a secret technique, her eyes instantly revealed extreme shock.

She seemed to want to warn Qin Fang, but her acupoints had been struck, leaving her unable to move or speak. She could only use her eyes to convey her concern, hoping to remind Qin Fang.

Qin Fang had a keen sense of danger, sensing trouble as soon as Tang Wei made his move. Seeing Tang Xin's worry, he understood that the strike from behind was extraordinary.

Tang Xin knew Qin Fang's strength but still showed such worry, a clear sign that the move was exceptionally unusual and might be one of the Tang Sect's secret techniques.

Faced with such strong killing intent, Qin Fang almost subconsciously believed it was Tang Nan's move, as Tang Wei's strength was far inferior to his. It was Tang Nan's Mid-Master Level cultivation that Qin Fang found truly daunting.

With Tang Wei's strike, Qin Fang's rescue plan was doomed to fail. Tang Wei's reactionary speed seemed to be even faster than his own. He hadn't caught up yet, but any slight hesitation would surely result in a sword through the heart.

Despite wearing the allegedly impenetrable Celestial Silkworm Golden Armor, it was not invincible – it only provided 10 points of defense. Any attack surpassing this level could break through its protection...

When facing bullets, this thing was not even as good as a bulletproof vest, its only advantage perhaps being its lightness, to the point that one hardly felt its presence when worn.

Tang Wei's sword strike was terrifying in its attack power, probably not much weaker than the force of a bullet, definitely capable of breaching the defense of Qin Fang's Celestial Silkworm Golden Armor.

Qin Fang dare not slack off and had to avoid Tang Xin; otherwise, dodging would immediately spell disaster for her as well.

In a split second, Tang Wei's attack was closing in. It looked like his short sword would easily pierce Qin Fang, but suddenly, Qin Fang's body seemed to trip over something, as he swiftly executed a limbo move, falling backwards...

Tang Wei, united with his sword and incredibly fast, had no time to react. He flew right over Qin Fang, sword in hand.

Qin Fang's speed was also extremely fast. After dodging Tang Wei, he immediately leapt up, still wanting to continue moving toward Tang Xin with an unyielding determination to rescue her.

Boom~~

Tang Wei's sword heavily struck a nearby boulder. A series of clinking and clanging sounds could be heard as the boulder almost instantly had a hole carved into it, then it collapsed with a crash, stirring up a cloud of dust.

This secret technique of Tang Wei truly caused Qin Fang's complexion to change. Had he not luckily evaded it, even if he had forcefully received the blow, he would most likely have been seriously injured, possibly losing his combat capability directly.

But if that were the case, not only would Qin Fang's plan to rescue fail, but he himself would likely perish... After all, aside from Tang Wei, there was an even more formidable Tang Nan.

However, Qin Fang didn't even have time to catch his breath when a very concealed and powerful killing intent followed closely behind.

Sizzle~~

Suddenly, a streak of cold light flashed with unbelievable speed. The chilling coldness, even from a distance of two to three meters, seemed already palpable.

This was precisely what Qin Fang felt at that moment, a chill running down his spine, a sensation that emerges only during extreme crises.

And such a crisis came from this very streak of cold light...

It approached so swiftly that there was almost no chance to evade. Qin Fang's pupils contracted slightly as he saw his neck's vertebrae distort in a bizarre manner, the originally straight neck oddly bending into a hunchback-like shape, forcing a groove to appear at his throat.

Hiss~~

Even so, Qin Fang still distinctly felt a cold sensation on his neck, with a faint hint of stinging pain. It was clear that his reaction speed was just a tad slow, allowing Tang Nan's sneak attack to succeed.

"Hmm? Hidden weapons..."

Qin Fang was slightly startled, having not expected Tang Nan to possess such a skill. If not for his quick bodily response, he would have fallen for Tang Nan's trick. Feeling the coldness on the front of his neck, Qin Fang couldn't help but break out in a slight cold sweat.

The Tang Sect was known in the world for its hidden weapons and poisons, touted as the "Tang Sect Twin Marvels". In this regard, Qin Fang was aware. Comparatively, the martial arts of the Tang Sect were not as renowned. At least, they were nowhere near as deafening as the Seventy-two Ultimate Skills of the Shaolin Temple that resounded throughout the Martial World.

Tang Nan's attack was clearly the Tang Sect's hidden weapon, which Qin Fang now personally experienced, despite having previously witnessed Tang Nan deploying hidden weapons.

However, back then, the skill shown in handling the hidden weapon was not particularly extraordinary; it was just aiming at a somewhat slow-reacting rabbit. Such hidden weapon skills were almost useless against opponents of considerable strength.

Moreover, Qin Fang had encountered few Tang Sect experts; aside from these three, there was only Tang Xin and Zhuoma, who barely counted as half a member, having not formally joined yet.

Tang Xin did not use hidden weapons, and her methods were mainly based on sword techniques, similar to Tang Wei and Tang Zhan, who also wielded swords.

According to the results from Qin Fang's Scouting Skill, the hidden weapon skills of these two were negligible. However, Tang Nan possessed a Level 3 hidden weapon skill. Yet, compared to Tang Nan's Level 6 Grandmaster strength, a mere Level 3 speciality in hidden weapons was not very remarkable...

But the attack just now was performed with a method that was extremely strange and fast. It was something that fighters below the Grandmaster Level could hardly block, and only a freak like Qin Fang could manage such a feat.

Perhaps it was this very unwarranted disdain that almost cost Qin Fang dearly. It was his innate instinctual response to danger that gave him a sharper sense of perception and reaction than ordinary people, allowing him to narrowly escape from that recent peril.

"Poison..."

Yet Qin Fang's astonishment was not over. He soon discovered that the hidden weapon was not so simple. His body immediately experienced an extremely unpleasant sensation, and his physical condition showed signs of poisoning.

The Tang Sect Twin Marvels consisted of hidden weapons and poisons.

In practice, hidden weapons and poisons were unified. The reason the Tang Sect could dominate the Martial World was precisely because of their poisonous hidden weapons that were unpredictable and deadly, leading to countless tragic deaths from sudden poison attacks.

Moreover, poison seemed to have become a taboo of the Tang Sect, as if only the Tang Sect was allowed to research and use it, forbidding others from doing so. Otherwise, the Tang Sect would inevitably take action against them.

This was evidenced by the words of Shangguan Tianling before his death... Moreover, the event of Tang Xin executing the Black Witch Doctor also served as indirect proof.

The Black Witch Doctor bred Gu Insects, a particularly formidable type of poisonous insect. The Tang Sect's action of executing the Black Witch Doctor upon sight was not based on the numerous evil deeds the witch doctor might have committed.

Figures like Mulun, who were evil and had committed heinous crimes, deserved execution, an act of justice for the people. However, some of the Black Witch Doctors killed by the Tang Sect were merely in the early stages of breeding Gu and were met with the same fate—merciless slaughter! (To be continued.
