Shangguan Tianling, of Grandmaster Level, facing off against the non-Grandmaster Level, Qin Fang, originally seemed like a battle without suspense, even poised to be a one-sided affair.

In the eyes of any martial arts expert, the outcome would be the same, for the two combatants were simply not on the same level.

But today, Qin Fang showed Shangguan Tianling with facts that things were not set in stone. His strength might indeed be far weaker than Shangguan Tianling's, yet killing him was outright impossible for Shangguan Tianling.

"Impossible! He must be bluffing..."

Shangguan Tianling obviously couldn't bring himself to believe what was happening before him, his mind constantly telling him that everything he was seeing was fake, an illusion.

"I don't believe you can withstand a few more of my palms..."

Shangguan Tianling was an incredibly arrogant and prideful individual. The disparity in strength was clear, which was indisputable, and the fact that Qin Fang was sent flying twice by his strikes only confirmed this. In terms of palm energy alone, Qin Fang couldn't catch up with Shangguan Tianling, not even if he were to gallop at full speed.

After a brief analysis, Shangguan Tianling realized that every time he had seriously injured or sent Qin Fang flying, he had not followed up with a "coup de grâce," allowing Qin Fang brief moments of respite.

He had Healing Sacred Medicine on him, but perhaps Qin Fang was in possession of a similar treasure. Such a breathing space was enough for Qin Fang to recover his wounds...

If one attempt was not enough, then twice, thrice would suffice. This time, he would not give Qin Fang any time to breathe; he would ensure Qin Fang's death at the earliest opportunity to prevent any mishaps!

One had to admit, Shangguan Tianling, as a well-known expert, quickly identified the crux of the problem. Although he found it unbelievable that Qin Fang had so many miraculous healing medicines—considering wild medicinal herbs had become incredibly scarce over the years, and healing elixirs, once used, were gone forever, not to be consumed like common food. These were highly valued and not to be used unless absolutely necessary.

The pill Shangguan Tianling just used was one such rarity, a reward given out by the Tianchi Sect when he broke through to the Grandmaster Level; he only had that one, after which he would have no more, unless, by some miracle, he managed to break through to the Grandmaster Level... Of course, that was an absolute impossibility.

Whether Qin Fang truly had such healing medicine, Shangguan Tianling was not certain, but considering all possible explanations, this seemed to be the most logical conclusion. If that was not the case, nothing else made sense.

Such miraculous healing medicine was incredibly scarce. Even the wealthiest of orthodox sects would not allow a disciple to carry a large number of them, especially those of lower strength—those below the Grandmaster Level. This was not meant for saving disciples' lives, it was almost like sending them to their deaths.

The martial world was never harmonious; even in current society, the allure of treasures remains constant over time.

The more he thought about it, the more Shangguan Tianling felt this conjecture was likely. Now, his gaze towards Qin Fang was no longer filled with shock, but instead a bare, covetous greed, as though Qin Fang had become as inviting as a plump Tang Seng...

While speaking, Shangguan Tianling immediately charged towards Qin Fang, his speed faster than ever, even swifter and more terrifying than his previous palm strike, with equally vicious and malicious techniques.

Though his previous palm strikes aimed to be fatal, coming from an orthodox sect, Shangguan Tianling still held some restraint, refraining from using the more unsavory techniques, which would be beneath his dignity.

But this time was different, it was purely about killing, with techniques not just vicious, but utterly merciless...

He had been caught off-guard by Qin Fang once already, and if not for his healing medicine, the situation would have been quite troublesome! He would not make the same mistake a second time. It was absolutely impossible for Qin Fang to catch him off-guard again...

But would Qin Fang still resort to underhanded tactics this time?

"Idiot! Now you'll taste my true power..."

Obviously not!

Watching Shangguan Tianling rapidly approach like a bolt of lightning, Qin Fang was not even slightly panicked, and even held a hint of disdain and sarcasm in his heart.

It was not that his Thousand Skills—Move Flowers and Join the Trees could make him indestructible like Xiao Qiang. If Shangguan Tianling didn't give him a chance to catch a break, he would only need two moves to finish Qin Fang.

Shangguan Tianling was certainly no fool; having already slipped up twice, if he had not realized the problem, it would have been impossible for him to achieve his current Grandmaster Level. Therefore, in his latest assault, Qin Fang could feel the intense aggression, clearly laced with even stronger killer moves. With two consecutive strikes, Qin Fang would be without a doubt doomed!

And yet, despite all this, Qin Fang was not rattled, not even...

"Bring it on!"

Qin Fang suddenly exerted force from his feet, not retreating but advancing, swiftly moving to confront Shangguan Tianling head-on.

"Did you think I would make the same mistake again?"

Shangguan Tianling was immediately enraged. He had been outmaneuvered by Qin Fang once already, and the pain in the palm of his hand still throbbed. But as he said, he would not repeat the same error twice.

The distance between them closed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, Shangguan Tianling had reached him. With a slight movement, he shifted from facing Qin Fang to being at his side, his palm energy shooting forth in a swift smack aimed directly at Qin Fang's ribs.
