Not to mention, Qin Fang indeed held such wariness in his heart…

But every person has their breaking point, and Qin Fang was now infuriated to the extreme. It would have been acceptable if Tang Nan, mad and monstrous as he was, had targeted him, Qin Fang, regardless of the severity of his attack. However, his cruel assault on an innocent woman was simply too vicious.

"Hmph…"

Faced with Qin Fang's words, Tang Nan responded with a cold snort, unapologetically arrogant and fearless. He interpreted Qin Fang's expression as helpless rage born out of embarrassment, which was exactly what he had expected.

"Senior Brother…"

Tang Wei, standing to the side and seeing Qin Fang and Tang Nan at an impasse, with Tang Xin poisoned and her life in imminent danger, couldn't help but want to speak up.

Tang Xin could be considered their amulet for escaping to the heavens from this place; once Tang Xin succumbed to the poison and died, Qin Fang would lose his concern, and there was a real possibility he would turn deadly against both of them.

The difference between losing an arm and losing a life was very clear to Tang Wei. At this point, he had no choice but to speak, even though his words might carry little weight to Tang Nan.

But if he said nothing and just closed his eyes awaiting death, that would be too idiotic…

"Shut up!"

Unfortunately, Tang Nan had no interest in listening to Tang Wei's nonsense and angrily cursed, "Can't even handle such a trivial matter, you're useless… What's the point in keeping you!"

As he spoke, things moved quickly. Tang Nan flicked his flying knife, transforming it into a bizarre illusion. In the blink of an eye, it had stabbed into Tang Wei's throat.

"You…"

Tang Wei had never anticipated that it would be his most trusted Senior Brother, Tang Nan, not Qin Fang the enemy, who would deal him a lethal blow, and in such a venomous manner.

The poison was exceedingly domineering. A knife to the vital part of the throat, a double blow, directly claimed Tang Wei's life. Until he completely lost his breath, Tang Wei couldn't even manage to close his eyes.

Tang Nan didn't even bother to give it another glance, as if it was a matter of no concern to him… Even Qin Fang was profoundly shocked by Tang Nan's cruelty.

But at this moment, Tang Nan took advantage of the situation, producing another poisoned flying knife and placing it at Tang Xin's neck…

Tang Wei being hit by a bullet and wounded had indeed put considerable pressure on Tang Nan, but the life or death of Tang Wei was not something Tang Nan cared about. To him, Tang Wei was merely a servant, a dog in front of him.

Tang Nan's life was by far the most precious. If it weren't for Tang Wei's wound, Tang Nan wouldn't have wanted to personally take action. But at this critical juncture, giving up was also out of the question.

"I must say, you're the most formidable young man I've ever seen. I really didn't want to be your enemy, but it's a pity…"

At this point, Tang Nan seemed to have gone a bit mad, ruthlessly killing even his companion Tang Wei, looking at Qin Fang with eyes full of endless rage and deep… jealousy!

Yes, jealousy! The kind that rivals in love feel…

"Since you care so much about her, I'm going to make you watch as she slowly dies right before your eyes…"

Tang Nan had indeed lost his mind, his gaze revealing a very strange frenzy and cruelty, as if he was eagerly anticipating such a scene.

"You're truly a madman…"

Faced with such a person, Qin Fang felt he was now completely beyond reasoning. He didn't comprehend how Tang Nan had become so deranged from such a severe provocation or if it was his nature to be somewhat mentally unstable. Now, Tang Nan had become exceptionally mad and vicious.

"Madman? Haha, perhaps…"

Tang Nan spoke with such calmness, as if there wasn't a problem at all, which made Qin Fang somewhat baffled.

"Mind Reading Technique..."

As he witnessed the scene, a thought struck Qin Fang's mind, and he immediately used the Mind Reading Technique on Tang Nan, but... the outcome of the technique indicated failure; Tang Nan's psyche was completely undisturbed.

"Go to hell..."

This result startled Qin Fang for a moment, and he sensed that something wasn't quite right. Almost as this hesitation flickered through his mind, a dark, hollow tube suddenly appeared in Tang Nan's hands. Aimed at Qin Fang, a crazed roar erupted from it.

Immediately~~~

Qin Fang saw the dark tube burst open, and in the next moment, countless needles shot out from within.

"Feel the power of one of the Ten Great Hidden Weapons of Tang Sect – the Storm Pear Blossom..."

Almost simultaneously, Qin Fang faintly heard these words from Tang Nan, intensifying the sense of alarm in his heart...

The Tang Sect reigned supreme in the Martial World with their hidden weapons and poisons, their reputation enduring for a thousand years due to their sheer might.

There's no need to mention the poisons – countless people lost their lives to the poisons secretly concocted by Tang Sect, including many renowned Martial Arts Experts who were no exceptions.

As for hidden weapons, their notoriety was equally formidable – especially the Ten Great Hidden Weapons of Tang Sect, which resonated throughout the entire Martial World.

Each of these Ten Great Hidden Weapons was enough to send chills down the spines of the inhabitants of the Martial World, with numerous well-known experts having fallen to them.

However, since the Tang Sect went into seclusion, tales of the Ten Great Hidden Weapons of Tang Sect had not surfaced in the Martial World for a long time. Yet today, Qin Fang not only had the privilege of encountering the Tang Sect Twin Marvels but also one of the Ten Great Hidden Weapons.

Storm Pear Blossom, one of the top-ranked weapons amongst the Ten Great Hidden Weapons of Tang Sect, boasted tremendous power, and its creation was equally difficult. Over the years, the Tang Sect amassed only about a dozen or so of them...

Owing to its immense power and scarcity, the Storm Pear Blossom was always in the hands of the high-ranking and influential Elders.

A young disciple like Tang Nan typically wouldn't possess such one of the Ten Great Hidden Weapons, but he had a father of esteemed status. During this outing, his father, Tang Yuantao, also prepared many contingencies for him.

Apart from the lethal poisons, there were poisoned hidden weapons he carried, and this Storm Pear Blossom was the only one Tang Yuantao owned, which he handed to his son Tang Nan.

Naturally, Tang Nan preferred not to use such a treasured weapon, but the threat posed by Qin Fang's appearance, coupled with Qin Fang's possession of "Tang Sect Firearms," meant that if he could capture Qin Fang and bring him back to the Tang Sect, it would be a great achievement for Tang Nan...

So, from the moment Tang Nan saw Qin Fang brandish the gun, he had already secretly made up his mind, and to accomplish his task, Tang Nan was willing to sacrifice Tang Wei's life. After all, losing a hand would be a fatal blow to a swordsman.

Rather than returning to the Sect to be bullied and ridiculed by fellow disciples, it would be better to die now and provide Tang Nan with an opportunity for a Sneak Attack...

The Storm Pear Blossom's real lethality lies in the three thousand hair-like needles hidden inside the tube...

Once the tubes were opened, three thousand needles burst out almost instantly, at high velocity, and with their hair-like fineness, they enveloped the area like a storm in a split second...

While Qin Fang could counter Tang Nan's Sky-covering Blossom Rain with his gun and discern the true location of the hidden weapon among the false, these three thousand real needles, once layered upon each other, were utterly indefensible...

"There's no use struggling, you're bound to die today..."

Tang Nan was filled with immense confidence in his Sneak Attack; the Storm Pear Blossom was among the Ten Great Hidden Weapons of Tang Sect, and a close-range ambush left no chance for survival. He almost visualized the moment Qin Fang became a porcupine peppered with three thousand needles...
