The first update,

...

Chen Liang was getting closer and closer to Qin Fang, almost within arm's reach.

Qin Fang could even clearly see the expression on his face, the fierce glint in his eyes, and that slightly hideous countenance.

If any of Chen Liang's students or the teachers from the school were to see him now, they would definitely not be able to associate this fierce and sinister man with the gentle, elegant, and sunny teacher Chen Liang.

Perhaps this was the kind of hypocritically virtuous person that legend said Yue Buqun was.

Facing such a ferocious opponent, Qin Fang was very nervous as well, but he had to force himself to remain calm. He absolutely could not show fear before the battle against such an opponent, for if he did, even with a heaven-defying cheating device, he would still not be able to escape a fatal end.

Time was extremely pressing, and Qin Fang's brain was rapidly thinking, pondering countermeasures.

Suddenly...

Just as Chen Liang had entered his attack range and Qin Fang had no chance of escape, a dark stick-shaped object suddenly appeared in the hands of the previously empty-handed Qin Fang.

Qin Fang grasped the stick with both hands, his arms exploding with the most powerful strength, swinging the stick fiercely, colliding with Chen Liang's elbow strike that was nearly upon him.

This strike had tremendous force and, with such close distance, there was absolutely no possibility of evasion.

Crack~~

Chen Liang had never expected that the unarmed Qin Fang would suddenly have a steel pipe at least one meter long in his hands, and at that moment, their distance was too close. It was so close that Qin Fang couldn't dodge his Tiger's Rush, and equally, he couldn't avoid the steel pipe swung by Qin Fang.

Therefore, the violent strength of the Tiger's Rush was fully unleashed upon that steel pipe.

A human elbow bone is quite hard, especially with a violent attack like the Tiger's Rush, which could easily break bones, even shattering them upon impact.

Even regular rocks might fracture and break under such a strike.

But what he faced was a steel pipe even harder than rock... and it also bore the impact of Qin Fang's +15 strength.

So... Chen Liang was in a sorry state.

The sound of his elbow bone shattering was so clear, and the sudden explosion of intense pain contorted Chen Liang's already fierce face unnaturally.

Without a doubt, all the bones in his elbow had shattered.

"I want you dead!!!"

But Chen Liang himself was a very crazy character, and such a severe injury further stimulated the ferocity hidden deep in his heart.

The impact force of Tiger's Rush was slightly mitigated by Qin Fang's steel pipe, but it was not enough to stop it entirely. The steel pipe, after being hit, was immediately knocked back by Chen Liang's elbow in the reverse direction.

Qin Fang couldn't dodge in time, and the speed of the steel pipe snapping back was shockingly fast, hitting Qin Fang's chest with a violent strike, instantly numbing that area.

Pfft~~

Qin Fang only felt a sharp pain in his chest and coughed up blood almost unresisted, forming a mist of blood in the air.

The intense and powerful impact of the Tiger's Rush still affected Qin Fang's body, causing his ribs to ache intensely. He could faintly hear some cracking sounds, although they were not very clear, and his body was flung backward as if hit by a high-speed car, flying several meters away.

"Damn, that was fierce..."

Although Qin Fang had highly estimated the power of Tiger's Rush, he didn't expect to still underestimate it. Even after being blocked by his steel pipe, the unleashed force still sent him flying four to five meters away, with his Life Points plummeting by 18 in an instant.

Qin Fang almost instantly had his Life Points drained, leaving only the last 4 Life Points.

"Seems like my luck isn't too bad!"

A severe pain came from his chest, and his head was spinning, but Qin Fang was not in a hurry, rapidly consuming baozi after baozi.

"Life Points +3!"

"Life Points +3!"

"Life Points +3!"

"Life Points +3..."

In this way, a series of green numbers appeared on his health bar. In no time at all, his Life Points were fully replenished, and his body completely recovered to its optimal state, except for the persistent pain in his chest.

That was the only trouble. The Superior Soup Dumplings could definitely replenish Life Points, but unfortunately, they couldn't cancel out such pain—just reduce it slightly at best.

However, Qin Fang did not show it, pretending to still be severely injured, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, the result of being hit too hard and vomiting it out...

However, Qin Fang didn't lie there pretending to be dead; he struggled to prop himself up on his knees, eyes wide with horror as he watched Chen Liang across from him.

"You still can't beat me..."

Seeing Qin Fang's weakened state, his pale face drained of blood and not yet recovered, Chen Liang's face revealed a triumphant smile.

Although he himself had been ambushed by Qin Fang and was seriously injured, with nearly all of the elbow joint of his right arm shattered, the intense pain almost completely distorted his handsome face.

But he was still laughing, a laugh that was cold, cruel, and mad!

"That remains to be seen..."

Although Qin Fang looked extremely weak, his tone didn't show any despondency. On the contrary, it was even forceful, and he struggled to stand up.

"Your hand is ruined, and you can't use Tiger's Rush anymore, but I still have both of my hands... "

Qin Fang's words were very realistic. Apart from a bit of pain in his chest, everything else was completely intact. By comparison, Chen Liang was in a much worse state.

Yet even so, even if Chen Liang had lost an arm, Qin Fang still wasn't sure he could take down this Level 4 expert, especially since he always felt that Chen Liang had some cards hidden up his sleeve.

Shoot him?

This idea suddenly popped into Qin Fang's mind.

It seemed like a good idea, but the problem was that this was a residential villa area with security guards on duty at night. Once a gunshot rang out, Qin Fang would be in a lot of trouble.

The most critical thing was... he couldn't confirm whether Chen Liang was the killer behind the two cases.

"It seems you know quite a bit..."

Hearing Qin Fang accurately identify the move he used as Wu Family's Tiger's Rush, Chen Liang's pupils couldn't help but constrict.

This was a secret technique of the Wu Family, and not many people knew its name; most of them were elders in the Martial World, and even the younger generation of Wu Family were not very clear about it. Yet Qin Fang, who appeared to be in his early twenties, knew so much, making his identity extraordinary.

"What I need to know, I know all of it! What I shouldn't know, I also know a great deal..."

As Qin Fang was sparring with words with Chen Liang, he kept a close watch on their surroundings.

Without a doubt, Chen Liang's Tiger's Rush must have come from Chen Qingsong, and since Chen Qingsong had yet to show himself, Qin Fang didn't want to be focused on dealing with Chen Liang, only for Chen Qingsong to suddenly pop out and attack him with a sneak attack.

"Really?"

Chen Liang suddenly laughed, a laugh filled with pride and madness. His handsome face had completely twisted, and he seemed to roar at Qin Fang with a raspy voice, "Haven't you felt any discomfort?"

"Hmm?"

Qin Fang was momentarily stunned by Chen Liang's words, not quite understanding what he meant, but... to his shock, he discovered his Life Points were decreasing at an extremely slow rate.

The speed was described as "extremely slow" because Qin Fang's Life Points had only decreased by a little during the time they had been talking.

"Poison?"

Qin Fang immediately understood what was happening. It turned out that Chen Liang had poisoned him at a moment Qin Fang hadn't even noticed.

"Five Poisons Powder!"

Qin Fang almost shouted, his words revealing his surprise at the moment.

Ever since the first time he saw Chen Liang, Qin Fang had used his Scouting Skill on him, and had learned quite a bit of information about Chen Liang, including that one of his abilities was poison-making.

Old Master Wu had been poisoned with Five Poisons Powder, and the culprit was very likely the Chen Liang before him, which meant that the poison he had concocted was probably the Five Poisons Powder.

Qin Fang didn't have time to diagnose the poison in himself, but he knew he probably wasn't wrong.

Five Poisons Powder wasn't terrifying, at least not to Qin Fang. He had several Detoxification Pills on him. Given that Old Master Wu had been heavily poisoned for such a long time and was able to detoxify, Qin Fang himself had only just been poisoned, so the potency of the poison posed even less threat to him.

Qin Fang was about to take a Detoxification Pill immediately, but as he was about to do so, a thought struck him, and he slowly made contact with the little creature hidden inside his body, then issued a command.

"Devour the Five Poisons Powder!"

Almost as soon as Qin Fang issued the command, the small creature lurking inside him that had been motionless suddenly sprang into activity.

There was a faint pain in his chest, but as the creature started to move, Qin Fang immediately felt warmth at the site, as if something small was swimming around, causing an itchy sensation.

Not only that, this warm feeling quickly alleviated the pain in his chest, and it even... vanished completely soon after, as if it had never been hit by such a violent strike.

As for the virulent Five Poisons Powder, Qin Fang wasn't too sure; it seemed like the small creature hadn't left the vicinity of his heart, and he didn't know if the poison was neutralized or not.

Since the Five Poisons Powder was reducing his Life Points too slowly, and he couldn't always keep an eye on that number, but he figured the problem wouldn't be too serious... (to be continued.
