First update, requesting subscription and monthly votes~~~~...

"So strong…"

Scarface quickly approached, the violent True Qi seemed to transform into Fist Gangs, cutting Qin Fang's face like a knife.

Qin Fang could only oscillate all his True Qi to barely contend with such a violent force, otherwise, he might really be defeated before the fight even began.

However, Qin Fang's face showed little concern, as if still very calm, with nothing unusual visible.

It was unclear if he was unable to react, was too scared, or truly felt no fear.

"Trying to escape from my hands… Nice idea, but impractical!"

Scarface got closer and closer to Qin Fang, even speaking such words as if whispering in Qin Fang's ear, so clearly.

"Not necessarily…"

Just as Scarface's Fist Gang was about to hit Qin Fang, Qin Fang let out a cold shout, and a gentle light flickered, clearly transmitted into Scarface's eyes.

"Not good…"

Seeing such a beam of light, although Scarface didn't know where it came from and hadn't noticed anything special, he vaguely felt a slight daze, but then immediately sensed something wrong, his mind slightly sharpened, and his eyes became much clearer.

Almost immediately, Scarface's punch became more violent, as if fearing some accident…

Buzz~~

The Fist Gang passed through, seemingly piercing right through Qin Fang's body, the terrifying momentum completely shattering Qin Fang's body.

Shattered?

Scarface was slightly stunned for a moment, but then immediately understood… Missed!

Qin Fang, being a Grandmaster-level expert, Scarface, although much stronger than him, couldn't possibly shatter Qin Fang with one punch!

The only reasonable explanation was that what he shattered was merely Qin Fang's shadow… The real Qin Fang had already evaded.

"Huh?"

Scarface didn't expect that even as a Great Grandmaster-level expert, he would miss when facing a much weaker junior.

It was almost an impossible event, yet it happened…

"So you have a protective treasure! Seems I underestimated you…"

However, Scarface quickly understood, and the surprise on his face disappeared, his tone becoming much calmer.

In the Martial World, it's rare but not unheard of for experts to possess treasures…

Especially for someone like Qin Fang, who just emerged from the labyrinth; acquiring rare herbs is normal, and there are also those lucky ones who obtain protective treasures!

Scarface probably considered Qin Fang one of those lucky ones!

"Hmph…"

Qin Fang's expression did not change, only coldly snorted, but he remained extremely vigilant and cautious of Scarface, who was much stronger than him.

The earlier encounter was just a probing strike by both, and Qin Fang nearly fell for it; the violent Fist Gang that came at him could have left him with just half a life if it struck him directly.

Of course, Qin Fang tried out the treasure in his hand for the first time… the white Serpent Bead taken from the Three-eyed Viper; even a Great Grandmaster-level expert like Scarface fell victim to it!

Though there was a bit of an unexpected factor, it clearly demonstrated the power of this Serpent Bead…

"Kid, thinking you can contend with me by relying on a treasure? Stop daydreaming… True experts rely on themselves, not external objects!"

Scarface didn't mind, though treasures have their uses, experts like him just need to be slightly cautious, and it won't have much effect.

Moreover, he noticed earlier, the treasure Qin Fang has should have some kind of charm or hallucination effect, he just needs to keep his mind vigilant, and he wouldn't fall for it again.

"You'll know whether it works if you try it."

Qin Fang remained unmoved.

Though he agreed with Scarface's words, that external objects don't significantly benefit one's cultivation and may even restrict it to some extent.

However, external objects serve a supplementary role that is indeed necessary at critical moments, having very effective results.

For instance, right now without the help of this Serpent Bead, Qin Fang would have already met a tragic end at Scarface's hands…

"Talk is cheap; try it and find out…"

Scarface didn't waste words with Qin Fang, just let out a cold shout and attacked once more... Though he hadn't moved, the fierce momentum was already violently rushing forward.

"Damn level suppression..."

Between Grandmaster level and Great Grandmaster level, there's a significant gap in tiers. Qin Fang had managed to overcome level suppression within the same rank, but this cross-level suppression was unavoidable. With Scarface's aggressive attack, Qin Fang almost felt suffocated!

"What does a Great Grandmaster-level expert matter?"

However, the greater the suppression, the stronger Qin Fang's resistance became. Clenching his teeth, he withstood the level suppression fiercely. Qin Fang rallied all his strength, unleashing his full power to prepare to confront Scarface head-on.

"Oh, you have some guts... quite similar to that fellow Nan Tian!"

Noticing Qin Fang's change, Scarface was a bit surprised but didn't pay too much attention to it. Instead, he pressed all his momentum down on Qin Fang.

Boom~~

Not only that, but Scarface also struck first, delivering a harsh punch directly at Qin Fang... The violent force of the punch erupted immediately, sending Qin Fang flying backward.

Splurt~~

A mouthful of blood arrow erupted from Qin Fang's mouth, tracing a graceful arc in the air before slowly scattering on the ground.

As for Qin Fang, he flew four or five meters away before barely landing... But soon, he clenched his teeth and stood up again.

"Indeed, extraordinarily strong!"

Qin Fang spat blood, silently appreciating the fact that Scarface's show of power was undeniably several tiers above him.

"Once more..."

However, this didn't lead Qin Fang to give up. Instead, he stood up again, mustering all his power to charge again.

"Hmph... It won't work even if you try several more times! Alright, I'll play along... Let's see what tricks you can pull out!"

Scarface sneered incessantly, although he wasn't sure of Qin Fang's actual intentions. Qin Fang posed no real threat to him, so he was happy to keep beating him.

He was also guessing at Qin Fang's relationship with Qin Tiannan, and though he hadn't realized they were father and son, he knew their connection was close.

He once suffered a great loss at Qin Tiannan's hand and couldn't touch Qin Tiannan now, so naturally, he would vent all his hatred on Qin Fang.

Now with Qin Fang seeking to be beaten, Scarface was truly pleased... In his view, killing Qin Fang was as easy as lifting a hand, but if he wanted to vent his anger, he'd slowly torment Qin Fang!

Boom boom boom~~

Thus, Qin Fang's miserable ordeal began. Scarface earnestly vented his anger on Qin Fang, with each strike being viciously brutal but never lethal, absolutely taking pleasure in torturing Qin Fang's body and mind...

An ordinary person probably couldn't endure such treatment for long!

Yet, Qin Fang gritted his teeth and endured, not letting out a single extra groan, which even Scarface admired.

Finally...

After being struck down viciously by Scarface again, Qin Fang lay on the ground, panting heavily, as though he was thoroughly exhausted, and he couldn't get up for a long while.

However, he didn't perish; instead, he lay there with a foolish grin, "Hahaha... Level suppression, finally broken!"

After enduring all those beatings, Qin Fang hadn't gained nothing. The previously overwhelming level suppression was actually endured by Qin Fang.

Now, though Qin Fang was covered in injuries and his pain was unbearable, his physical condition wasn't bad. Most importantly, the level suppression from Scarface on Qin Fang was almost gone...

Though there was a slight trace of it, it was negligible!

It was only now that Qin Fang managed to smile a bit, despite his entire body being in pain.

But still, the pain was worth it...

In the future, even against Great Grandmaster rank experts, Qin Fang wouldn't need to worry about level suppression. Thus, he could unleash his strongest combat power; even if he couldn't defeat them, he wouldn't be too oppressed and might even have a chance to escape...

"Looks like you're done playing... Then I should send you off!"

At this moment, Qin Fang smiled, but Scarface seemed satisfied with the game and no longer intended to continue this entanglement with Qin Fang.

After speaking calmly, his entire aura transformed dramatically, akin to a fierce predator descending a mountain.

Such a transformation was something Qin Fang was very much aware of, as he laboriously crawled up off the ground. Despite being severely hurt, his vigor quickly replenished to seventy or eighty percent!

Facing this enemy, Qin Fang felt as if a reaper from hell was slowly walking toward him.

The pace was not fast; each step was firm, yet it made Qin Fang feel like a great killing intent was poised like a sharp blade above his head!

"Damn, I guess I'll have to resort to my killer move..."

Being beaten so badly was perhaps Qin Fang's worst experience, even worse than when he faced the Bloody-handed Demon Tu San, without it being so tragic... Now he was even facing a threat to his life!
