Young people of Qin Fang's age are mostly at around Level 3, with only a few geniuses capable of stepping into Level 4. Those who can reach Level 5 are absolutely rare.

Below the rank of Grandmaster Level, all are merely ants; even a peak Level 5 expert is still facing a considerable gulf when compared to a Grandmaster-level Expert.

Many might soon overcome this barrier, but for some, they may never cross it in their entire lifetime...

This was precisely why Shen Wuben didn't pay much attention to Qin Fang from the beginning, focusing instead on guarding against Song Qingshan, who seemed no weaker than him.

But it was at this moment that problems arose; Qin Fang had seemed just like any ordinary young man, unremarkable until he made a move.

And it was such an unremarkable young man who had crippled one of his hands with a single move... Shen Wuben practiced palm techniques, and now, with one hand disabled, his combat effectiveness was significantly reduced, possibly to only half or even one third of his usual capacity.

With such a large hole left in the palm of his hand, Shen Wuben was in considerable pain, and his hatred for Qin Fang deepened, wishing he could tear Qin Fang limb from limb to vent the anger and hatred in his heart.

However, the situation now seemed quite unfavorable for him. Although this was his territory, there were not many who could prove useful; in fact, it could be said that there were none...

Without help, facing Song Qingshan, an opponent not weaker than himself, and Qin Fang, who seemed to be quite a formidable young expert, along with his own injured hand and diminished fighting power, Shen Wuben had no intention of staying put. His gaze drifted subtly, taking note of the room's door, obviously contemplating an escape.

This is the top floor of the nightclub, usually very quiet, and this room's door is the only way out—unless someone wants to be bold and jump out the window, which is merely a few dozen meters high. They may not necessarily fall to their death...

The moment Shen Wuben entertained the thought of retreat, he immediately put it into action. His body moved slightly as he prepared to rise and flee, though his actions appeared as if he were about to attack Qin Fang once more.

But Qin Fang was not so easily fooled. The moment the red glow on Shen Wuben's body dimmed significantly, he knew it was just a feint, a diversion with another purpose.

Besides attacking Qin Fang directly and capturing him to gain a bargaining chip, targeting Qin Fang was evidently one of the available options. But since Qin Fang knew that Shen Wuben hadn't chosen that, there was only one other possibility...

"Trying to leave? It won't be that easy..."

Seeing Shen Wuben trying to flee, Qin Fang immediately let out a cold shout, and his counterattack followed swiftly.

Qin Fang initially wanted to use his gun, but considering the environment, he abandoned the idea. With a flick of his wrist, a black iron tube appeared in Qin Fang's hand.

No sooner had Shen Wuben thought of escaping, his body barely moving, when he suddenly heard Qin Fang's words. Instinctively, he glanced over at Qin Fang and instantly froze; his entire being became rigid there and then because he noticed the object in Qin Fang's hand.

"Are you a disciple of the Tang Sect?"

Upon seeing the thing in Qin Fang's hand, Shen Wuben's face changed dramatically, no longer as arrogant as before. Mixed with his surprise and astonishment, there was also a considerable fear...

The Tang Sect, a sect not weaker than the Shaolin Temple, is an ancient faction known for its poisons and hidden weapons. Though not part of the orthodox, it wields supreme authority among the side sects.

The Tang Sect Twin Marvels, hidden weapons, and poisons, all make countless martial arts experts extremely wary and fearful; no one can be sure they won't be struck by a hidden weapon or poisoned and die an unnatural death...

Even the disciples of Shaolin Temple are no exception. Even if they have practiced a powerful Body Protecting Divine Skill, impervious to blades and resistant to fire and water, they still cannot fend off the assault of poisons.

Moreover, all of the Ten Great Hidden Weapons of the Tang Sect are specialized in breaking through body-protecting divine skills, with a track record of success for each one. Combined with the extremely lethal power they possess, almost no one can withstand them...

The object Qin Fang was holding in his hand, although not very large and not imposing too much pressure by appearance—after all, it was just an inanimate object—it still exerted an immense amount of pressure on Shen Wuben.

Because this seemingly insignificant little object, just based on its external appearance, resembled the Storm Pear Blossom, one of the Ten Great Hidden Weapons of Tang Sect...

The Ten Great Hidden Weapons of the Tang Sect are quite mysterious, and very few people have seen what they actually look like due to their rare appearances.

And because they are incredibly challenging to forge, their numbers are also extremely limited. The higher ranked the weapon, the fewer in existence. It is said that there is only one of the number one ranked weapon throughout the history of the Tang Sect. Although the descendants of the Tang Sect had tried very hard to replicate it, none could reach the original's standard, and they eventually had to give up.

With such scarcity comes an extremely low usage rate. Moreover, since the Tang Sect receded from the Martial World hundreds of years ago to hide in the mountains and forests, it became even more unlikely for them to appear again.

However, Storm Pear Blossom is among the more abundant of the Ten Great Hidden Weapons. The Shaolin Temple, once the foremost faction in the world, all-encompassing, also had close connections with all the major factions.

Though the Tang Sect had not appeared in the world for hundreds of years, they still maintained ties with the other ancient factions, such as the Shaolin Temple and the Kunlun Sect.

Their disciples have even had matches and exchanges, so comparatively, they were somewhat more knowledgeable than other external factions.

The Tang Sect Twin Marvels were thus well-known to the disciples of Shaolin Temple. Some of the Ten Great Hidden Weapons have even been revealed before, with Storm Pear Blossom being one of them.

Although Shen Wuben was not an Inner Sect Disciple, he had the fortune of seeing the diagrams of these rare Hidden Weapons of the Tang Sect, including the Storm Pear Blossom. Now, suddenly seeing that Qin Fang held one, he was immediately frightened...

Which of the Ten Great Hidden Weapons of the Tang Sect is not famous and imposing? The appearance of any one of them would lead most people to utter despair, even if a Grandmaster-level Expert cannot guarantee resisting the assault of the Ten Great Hidden Weapons. Now, as only a Grandmaster-level Expert, how could Shen Wuben possibly withstand it?

Therefore, seeing this object resembling the Storm Pear Blossom that Qin Fang deliberately took out, even though he was uncertain about Qin Fang's identity, he did not dare to act rashly at this moment.

"It's not important who I am..."

Qin Fang shook his head; he hadn't expected that although Shen Wuben's strength wasn't particularly outstanding, his discernment was exceptionally precise.

He had just taken the Storm Pear Blossom out, and the young man recognized it immediately, causing him to become cautious and careful, while also trying his best to protect his own body.

The fame of the Storm Pear Blossom had already intimidated the Martial World hundreds of years ago, and the number of Martial Arts Experts who died at its hands is countless, almost none of them obscure individuals.

Mainly because those obscure individuals had already faded into obscurity, killing such people brought no sense of achievement. Especially using Storm Pear Blossom for such a task would only sully its reputation.

Although Shen Wuben is a Grandmaster-level Expert, his reputation in the Martial World is probably not as distinguished as that of Song Qingshan. After all, he has only just descended from the Inner Temple of the Shaolin Temple and hasn't made a name for himself in the Martial World yet.

However, Qin Fang didn't truly intend to use Storm Pear Blossom against Shen Wuben. After all, restoring it once would require 400 Justice Points. To kill someone like Shen Wuben, it simply wouldn't be worth it.

If Qin Fang had to make a choice, he would rather shoot Shen Wuben with a gun here, which would be more hassle-free. Bullets are, after all, much cheaper than restoring Storm Pear Blossom...(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com).
