Now the fun really begins!

Stumbling backward in a Ping Sha Luo Yan Style… This effectively lumped one of the renowned young experts from the Southern Martial Arts World, one of the Four Tiansouthern Showmen, with the notoriously infamous Qingcheng Four Shows from "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer."

This time, there was no way Su Yang could restrain himself even if he wanted to.

"You… It seems Junior Martial Brother Qin has quite the problem with me!"

At this moment, Su Yang's face became exceedingly unsightly. That's how young people are—young, impulsive, and add to that martial artists with temperaments that could hardly be summed up as merely explosive. Instances of fighting at the drop of a hat were far too common.

Even Su Yang, one of the Tian Nan Four Shows, had encountered this sort of situation before. He had been responsible for injuring no less than eighty if not a hundred people.

However, usually, it was him bullying others; this was the first time he was so viciously slapped in the face, almost like being struck from both sides, which left him grinding his teeth furiously.

"No hard feelings, just thought I'd give Elder Martial Brother Su a heads-up. You'd better find a good ophthalmologist and get your eyes checked out. If you keep going like this, you're bound to have serious problems with them…"

Compared to Su Yang's livid face, Tian Youzhi and Ma Yu were grinning mischievously, while Qin Fang seemed much more composed. His tone of voice was light, as if his words were genuinely meant as friendly advice for Su Yang.

"Problems with my eyes?"

Su Yang was momentarily stunned, a bit confused, "My eyesight has always been fine, both are 2.0…"

Pfft~~

While he was pondering this, Tian Youzhi and Ma Yu beside him couldn't hold back their laughter anymore. They burst into uncontrollable laughter, clutching their bellies on the side.

Ma Yu was even more direct, giving Qin Fang a huge thumbs up. Tian Youzhi might still have some reservations about Su Yang, but Ma Yu didn't care about that. He had long found Su Yang irritating, and with Qin Fang having toyed with Su Yang twice in a row, it felt like he had gotten his revenge.

After laughing for a while, Tian Youzhi suddenly came to his senses. Su Yang was not known for his good temper. This guy was notoriously petty and taking such mockery would most likely result in him resorting to violence promptly.

And that's exactly what happened. Su Yang was by no means a broad-minded person. After years of being on top, he could no longer tolerate such discrimination and ridicule from his peers. Casting aside his previous pretense, he unhesitatingly made a move against Qin Fang.

"Qin Fang, be careful…"

Tian Youzhi wanted to intervene, but he was a few beats too slow and powerless to do anything more than shout a warning, though his urgency was unmistakable in his voice.

Bang~~~

His voice was quick, but still not as fast as fists and feet. Almost as soon as he spoke, there was a dull thud.

Without a doubt, someone had already made their move, and with extraordinary speed, even faster than Tian Youzhi's reaction.

Compared to Tian Youzhi's quick reaction, Ma Yu was significantly slower. He only realized what was happening after Tian Youzhi shouted, looking towards Qin Fang with a tense face.

Although he also despised Su Yang, he was still reputed as one of the Tian Nan Four Shows, a top-notch expert among the young generation.

But the brothers quickly realized something was amiss. Qin Fang stood tall, showing no sign of disturbance. On the contrary… it was Su Yang, one of the Four Tiansouthern Showmen, who had been sent flying.

Even more crucial was Su Yang's current posture—bent over facing down on the ground, in a position akin to a dog eating shit!

Dammit, it really was Ping Sha Luo Yan Style with the butt sticking out…

"You… are asking for death!"

Clearly, an enraged Su Yang not only failed to gain the upper hand but was instead caught squarely by a sudden kick from Qin Fang, plunging face-first to the ground in an outright loss of face and dignity.

At this point, Su Yang's face wasn't just red with anger or ashen with rage; it was a mix of both colors, plus the dust from the ground and some greenish moss from Green Stone Mountain, making it multicolored in an instant.

Su Yang was thoroughly enraged, using his arms to push himself up with a carp's flip and standing up straight. Without a moment's hesitation, he charged towards Qin Fang.

His footwork was impressively quick, and his movements were quite agile. One fist clenched lightly and launched a furious assault on Qin Fang's ribs, while his other hand stayed close to his waist, already charging up—the real killer move was being prepared.

Qin Fang couldn't help but scoff coldly, realizing when Su Yang's body glowed red that he was about to attack. Therefore, he decisively struck first, kicking and knocking Su Yang down. As for the result being a Ping Sha Luo Yan Style with a backward butt stumble, that was a surprise even to him, a testament to just how weak Su Yang's foundation was.

Once bitten, twice shy.

Su Yang's reputation as one of the Tian Nan Four Shows was not just due to the prestige of his sect. His own strength was also quite formidable.

As a Level 5 expert, he was clearly much more powerful than Qin Fang, who had just stepped into Level 4, except...

Qin Fang was exceptionally slippery; a +20 in Agility was not for nothing. He was so fast that Su Yang felt dazzled and couldn't keep up with the pace. Each time Su Yang threw a punch, he did so with all his strength, yet every time he thought he would land a hit on Qin Fang, Qin Fang would simply tilt his head slightly and evade.

Meanwhile, Qin Fang's fierce offensive immediately targeted his lower stance!

Having discovered his opponent's weakness, it would have been a true waste not to take advantage of it, especially against an opponent whose strength far surpassed his own.

Su Yang, after all, was a young expert with many years of renown, and his experience in combat was far richer than Qin Fang's. After an initial period of discomfort, he quickly adapted to Qin Fang's attacking rhythm. After a few hard clashes, he disrupted the rhythm Qin Fang had struggled to establish by relying on the subtlety of the Eight Extremes Fist and his formidable strength.

The gap between Level 5 and Level 4 was still significant, and the suppression of levels was very clear. Furthermore, Su Yang was an absolutely formidable figure even among Level 5 experts. Qin Fang could feel this gap very clearly, and his expression grew increasingly serious.

Su Yang began to control the pace, and his restless mood gradually stabilized. This is a quality necessary for a high-level martial artist.

Although Elder Niu, an Level 8 Grandmaster, had never produced any particularly notable disciples, he always considered the qualities of a martial artist as an essential part of his teachings.

Confidence, bravery, calmness, composure!

These were the words that Elder Niu repeated over and over again. Over the past decade, they had deeply engraved themselves in Su Yang's heart, allowing him to gradually recover after a brief period of rage.

Of course, while Elder Niu taught Su Yang enough skills for his martial journey, he failed to properly instill in him the principles of martial ethics. Thus, Su Yang had developed a somewhat arrogant and unruly attitude.

However, given Su Yang's narrow-minded nature, even if Elder Niu had truly taught him about martial ethics, it's likely Su Yang would have let it go in one ear and out the other, without taking it to heart.

All these matters had little to do with Qin Fang; what he needed to focus on was how to handle Su Yang's increasingly fierce offense.

At this moment, Qin Fang's expression was extremely grave. The situation was decidedly unfavorable for him. Su Yang was eroding the advantage Qin Fang had worked so hard to build up, and Su Yang's domineering Eight Extremes Fist strikes were making Qin Fang's arms go numb. In head-to-head confrontations, he hadn't gained any advantage and was actually at a slight loss.

"No, I must use my killer move!"

Qin Fang quickly realized he had to make this decision.

Considering the rage Su Yang had shown towards him, Qin Fang didn't believe this narrow-minded man would simply stop at the point of contact. If Qin Fang's defenses slackened, he would certainly face a barrage of attacks from Su Yang.

If he thought of it, he would do it—this was always Qin Fang's principle.

Knowing he couldn't overcome his opponent directly, he had to use the appropriate strategy.

Direct confrontation wasn't a viable option, so he had to employ unexpected tactics.

This time, Su Yang launched a fierce elbow strike, and Qin Fang naturally countered with the same technique. However, it seemed Qin Fang couldn't withstand it this time, leaving a huge opening in his defense.

Su Yang's eyes lit up with the prospect of a great opportunity. Without a second thought, he took a quick step forward and completed his charge.

Tie Shan Kao!

It was just the starting form of the Eight Extremes Fist's killer move, and it was nearly impossible for Qin Fang to dodge at this point.

But as Su Yang struck, he failed to notice the slight smile at the corner of Qin Fang's mouth—a smile that hinted at a successful scheme.

"Die!!!"

Su Yang finally seized his chance, and the Tie Shan Kao of the Eight Extremes Fist launched forth. He had practiced this move until it was extremely refined, mastering every aspect of the force applied. It had won him much honor in the countless times he had executed it.

This time was no exception!

It seemed he already saw Qin Fang beaten and breathing feebly, a smug smile appearing on Su Yang's face.

But then...

"Tiger's Rush!"

Tian Youzhi's gaze almost immediately froze. His heart had been in his throat, especially when he saw Su Yang prepare the starting form of Tie Shan Kao—he felt as if his heart might leap out. But Qin Fang's technique was oh so familiar, the three words almost slipping out without thought. (To be continued.
