...

His father died...

For Shangguan Hao, such news was simply too much to bear!

The only thought in his heart was, "Impossible..." Yet the reality before him seemed to suggest that this "impossible event" had, improbably, already occurred.

Otherwise, Qin Fang wouldn't be able to stand before him so casually...

With a faint smile on his face, Qin Fang thought that with Shangguan Tianling and Lei Peng dead, this Shangguan Hao was nothing to be concerned about... If this had taken place outside, Qin Fang might have worried about him escaping, but here in the park, where few people tread and a towering wall stood nearby, Shangguan Hao wouldn't be able to escape even if he grew wings, let alone with four legs.

Qin Fang took off his coat and tossed it to Li Yuerong!

The poor girl was still half-undressed, having been on the run with sweat on her body, she hadn't been bothered by the lesser clothing. But now that she had stopped and wasn't wearing much, combined with the dried sweat, she could easily fall ill in the cold winter night.

Li Yuerong's face turned red as she caught the coat Qin Fang threw over, immediately turning around to put it on, yet Qin Fang still caught a fleeting glimpse of her fair and smooth back... which caused the fire within Qin Fang, who had just advanced to Level 5 and felt his strength surge, to stir a bit.

However, he had to deal with Shangguan Hao now and didn't have the time to entertain these thoughts, especially since he could return to Ninghai tomorrow, where naturally someone would be available to address these physiological issues.

"To kill or not to kill?"

Qin Fang was somewhat troubled by this thought.

Reason told Qin Fang that Shangguan Hao before him absolutely could not be spared, but killing someone in front of Li Yuerong seemed quite inappropriate.

Shangguan Hao was the son of Shangguan Tianling and also a member of the Heavenly Pool Sect, and one of those who knew about Qin Fang's killing of Shangguan Tianling.

Qin Fang indeed had the means to turn Shangguan Hao into an idiot who knew nothing using Acupuncture Techniques, burying the matter once and for all...

But as the Heavenly Pool Sect had been a major sect for hundreds or even thousands of years with the ability to refine elixirs such as the Blood Replenishing Pill, they naturally had a number of medical and pharmaceutical experts. If they were to cure Shangguan Hao, then Qin Fang's troubles would follow...

Furthermore, when Qin Fang probed Shangguan Hao's mind just now, he discovered that the young man had already begun to believe his father was most likely dead, and was planning to inform the Heavenly Pool Sect of this news while seeking powerful individuals to avenge his father... He even intended to enlist the help of a Level 7 Grandmaster-level Expert.

The strength of the Heavenly Pool Sect was formidable, and as part of the main ruling powers of the sect, the Shangguan Family naturally had very strong experts.

For instance, Shangguan Tenglong, whom Shangguan Hao wished to enlist, was the blood uncle of Shangguan Tianling and Shangguan Hao's great-uncle, a Level 7 Grandmaster...

If taking down Shangguan Tianling had been a close call for Qin Fang, even resorting to using deadly poison to ensure success, then facing Shangguan Tenglong, Qin Fang had no chance of poisoning him, let alone withstanding a single slap from such a Grandmaster-level Expert using the Thousand Skills technique "Move Flowers and Join the Trees"...

Even if the poisoning was successful, it would be futile, as a Master Level Fighter like Shangguan Tianling, under Qin Fang's poison, could only have his strength slowly weakened, with the poison being suppressed by powerful Inner Breath, and a Grandmaster-level Expert's Inner Breath was even more terrifying, capable of unleashing all of their strength shortly after being poisoned...

This was akin to how Old Master Wu, having been poisoned by a Gu, was still able to easily repel Chen Liang... of course, that was partly because Wu suspected Chen Liang had something to do with his disciple, Chen Qingsong, and held back; otherwise, Chen Liang would have died long ago.

Having advanced to Level 5, Qin Fang's strength truly skyrocketed substantially, having become unbeatable below the Grandmaster Level... In previous sparring with Qin Shouxiong, Qin Fang could only win with the support of Baozi after a protracted battle, but now he could win much more easily.

Yet, this did not change the fact that Qin Fang had yet to enter the Grandmaster Level and was still no match for Master Level Fighters, not to mention Grandmaster-level Experts, who were tens or even hundreds of times more fearsome than the former.

"This person cannot be left alive!"

Due to such reasons, Qin Fang finally decided he could not take this risk; Shangguan Hao absolutely had to be eliminated, or else Qin Fang would be faced with endless troubles.

Having made up his mind, Qin Fang's gaze toward Shangguan Hao grew increasingly unfriendly.

"Don't... don't kill me!"

By this time, Shangguan Hao's emotions had stabilized somewhat. Though he still harbored considerable doubt about the news of his father's death, the look in Qin Fang's eyes did not escape him.

Facing death, Shangguan Hao was never one to be tough... To survive, he was willing to do anything.

It was just like the previous time; in order to live, he was willing to do something as perverse as enduring such heavy tastes... His endurance was perhaps even more incredible than that of Ninja Turtle!

"Miss Li, how do you think we should deal with him?"

Qin Fang ignored him and instead turned to inquire of Li Yuerong, who was now wrapped in his coat.
