The first installment,

...

Zhang Dao was a particularly savage fellow, always mentioned in the same breath as Wang Hu, but in truth, Wang Hu did plenty of bad things without ever actually killing anyone.

Almost every time the pair went out to handle business, it was Zhang Dao who did the killing. But because he had a good relationship with Wang Hu and didn't want to humiliate him, he often attributed the killings to Wang Hu instead.

In the underworld, if you haven't killed anyone, you're not considered a real tough player. So even though Wang Hu had never killed, leveraging this reputation allowed him to thrive. He enjoyed it and didn't mind taking the fall for Zhang Dao's deeds.

But the truly bloodthirsty was Zhang Dao lurking in the shadows, and now he opened his sharp fangs, trying to devour Qin Fang right before his eyes.

Qin Shouxiong didn't move. Zhang Dao did have some strength, but at most, he was only on par with Wang Hu, far from being a match for Qin Fang.

Mouse Qiang also didn't move. He now firmly believed that the hundred-plus men Wang Hu had brought with him were taken down by two people because at least eighty of them at the Night Cat Night Club were knocked out by Qin Fang and Qin Shouxiong. Even several of the terribly powerful experts didn't last ten moves against them, ending up with broken legs and unconscious.

This Zhang Dao...

Clearly was not a threat.

Even the elites sent by Tiger didn't act. They, too, just like Mouse Qiang, had watched Qin Fang and Qin Shouxiong fight their way from the first to the third floor: their encounters were brief, almost as soon as an enemy appeared, they were extinguished. Only a few experts took a bit more effort to dispatch, but such a fearsome power was beyond their reach.

Naturally, Zhang Dao couldn't be a match for Qin Fang! So they had nothing to fear.

Everyone on Qin Fang's side knew that Zhang Dao's actions were tantamount to hastening his demise, even Ma Ye saw something was amiss, everyone but Zhang Dao himself.

As he got closer to Qin Fang, none of the "experts" around him had time to react. Zhang Dao's face immediately revealed a hint of ferocity and smugness—he seemed to have already seen Qin Fang with his neck in his grasp, then being held hostage by him.

Even more so, he felt his hand moving at an exceptionally fast speed towards Qin Fang's neck, closer and closer, ever closer...

"Huh, is my strike speed really this fast..."

Zhang Dao was momentarily confused but couldn't react in time.

By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late. It wasn't that his speed had increased; it was Qin Fang who had moved forward to meet him.

When Zhang Dao's hand was less than one centimeter from Qin Fang's neck, he suddenly found he couldn't move it anymore, just a tiny bit away, and it suddenly just froze.

"What... what's going on?"

Zhang Dao was completely dumbfounded, what had just happened was too bizarre, beyond his comprehension, his eyes filled with disbelief and a strong sense of fear as he stared at Qin Fang's face.

Without a doubt, his sneak attack had failed, and he was now in Qin Fang's grasp, waiting for him... Zhang Dao suddenly regretted his rash action, but it was all too late.

Slap~~

A palm struck Zhang Dao's face fiercely.

The slap was so powerful that it sent Zhang Dao's large frame flying, crashing into the nearby gambling table before collapsing onto the ground.

But it was clear that this was just the beginning. Mouse Qiang signaled with his eyes, and immediately two men approached, hoisting Zhang Dao up on either side.

Qin Fang walked up to Zhang Dao, only to see that half of his face was marked with five dark finger bruises, which appeared instantly without needing time to develop, indicating just how powerful Qin Fang's slap had been.

Slap~~

Qin Fang wouldn't let him off so easily and delivered another slap, this time to the other half of Zhang Dao's face.

If they had previously thought that Qin Fang's strength was merely plentiful, those two men holding Zhang Dao now truly understood the magnitude—it even affected them, as they fell to the ground alongside Zhang Dao, overwhelmed by the sheer force.

Just two slaps, and both sides of the face were bruised, Zhang Dao was entirely knocked out, as Qin Fang's slaps were delivered with resentment, not holding back any mercy at all.

+25 Strength, all focused on the vulnerable face, the resulting impact was incredibly terrifying. It wasn't just facial bone damage; Zhang Dao's head was shaken to the point of concussion.

Qin Fang rarely struck so hard, even against those hoodlums who came to smash up the shop. Qin Fang himself exercised restraint when striking, and he also asked Qin Shouxiong to be as restrained as possible, for fear of killing someone.

The experts that Li Rui had sent over were merely left with their hands broken, which could be mended with bone setting and would not be considered excessively harsh.

But this time, Qin Fang actively abandoned his long-held principle and attacked Zhang Dao with ferocity, truly angered to the core.

Zhang Dao had provoked Qin Fang to such rage because he touched Qin Fang's inverse scale, driving Qin Fang to strike back so ruthlessly. It was simply his own bad luck.

"I'm the kind of person who doesn't care what you call me, I wouldn't even bother to hit you... But you should never have insulted my mother, that just means you're asking for death!"

Zhang Dao was already unconscious, but Qin Fang still spoke to the unconscious man on the ground with a chilling intent to kill in his words; even many from his own side couldn't help but shudder slightly, with the probable exception of Qin Shouxiong.

If Qin Fang's woman was his inverse scale, then his mother was the inverse of his inverse scale, an existence that could not be insulted by anyone.

Unfortunately for Zhang Dao, he had uttered such filthy words about Qin Fang's mother, leaving Qin Fang with no option but to not let him off.

Since Zhang Dao was a major villain with over six hundred Evil Points, Qin Fang... had no choice but to carry out justice on behalf of heaven.

"Mouse Qiang, pry open his mouth! I don't want to dirty my hands..."

Qin Fang gave such an order to Mouse Qiang by his side.

"Coming..."

Although Mouse Qiang was a bit scared of the murderous statement Qin Fang had just made, he was thankful that he was Qin Fang's man, and too scared to have second thoughts about doing such a thing.

Quickly running over, he pried open Zhang Dao's mouth only to see inside that the flesh was a bloody mess, with many teeth knocked loose and left in his mouth.

Yet, Qin Fang still felt it wasn't enough and, from nowhere, produced a few small green pearls, tossing them directly into Zhang Dao's mouth.

"Arrange for a trustworthy brother to dump him in the wilderness outside the city, and then forget about him..."

After throwing in the small pearls, Qin Fang simply instructed Mouse Qiang and paid no more attention, although as he turned to walk towards Ma Ye, he looked back with an addition, "If you don't want to die, you'd better not touch this guy again. He's been poisoned with something lethal and will soon dissolve into a puddle of corpse water, beyond salvation by any deity! You've got twenty minutes..."

Whoosh~~

Everyone was shocked, as Qin Fang had made it clear to them he had poisoned Zhang Dao.

Even Qin Shouxiong couldn't help but be moved, because using poison was a big taboo in the Martial World, and he too sensed something amiss, though he quickly brushed it off as if nothing had happened, his memory blank.

In the underworld, very few people had actually killed someone, and if someone claimed to have done so, that person was deemed ruthless, not to be trifled with by ordinary people.

But for Qin Fang to kill someone just because of verbal insults to his mother, this kind of approach seemed too vicious.

Moreover, he did not use fists, guns, or knives, but poison!

This was much more ferocious than other ruthless characters, and its deterrent effect was stronger. Not only was Ma Ye more terrified, but even Mouse Qiang and the others were also somewhat fearful.

"His face..."

Someone exclaimed, and all heads turned to see the half-dead Zhang Dao, his face now covered in a greenish hue, looking truly as if he had ingested a deadly poison.

"Hurry up and go!"

Startled, Mouse Qiang remembered Qin Fang's words about having only twenty minutes and quickly dispatched three of his subordinates to carry Zhang Dao off to the outskirts to be thrown away.

If anyone still doubted Qin Fang's words as bragging, no one doubted now, for that green hue was not something one could fake.

Recalling the small green pearls Qin Fang had fed Zhang Dao, many speculated that it might be the legendary poison... All of them started to feel afraid.

Those small pearls, to call them poison was not entirely incorrect, but not entirely correct either; their true identity was actually the essence of the venom Qin Fang had extracted from the Golden Crested Snake.

Having leftovers from making Detoxification Pills, Qin Fang stored them away, they were small but their toxicity was extremely fierce, akin to blood-sealing venom...

Zhang Dao may have seemed merely unconscious, but what Mouse Qiang and his men were carrying was already a corpse. Qin Fang had fed him several of these venom essences; their potency was so strong, it could compare to the legendary corpse-dissolving liquid. (To be continued.
