Chapter 2396 Burn You to a Crisp!

First update, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~~

...

Qin Fang wasn't the type to bear petty grudges, but when faced with such aggressive behavior, he had never been one to show mercy… Even knowing that doing this would definitely offend certain people, he still wouldn't care.

You could say that along Qin Fang's entire path, there's never been any smooth road; every step has been a blood-soaked way hacked out from the edge of life and death…

His enemies were almost all existences whose strength far surpassed his own.

Back when Qin Fang wasn't worth a damn, he already dared to go up against the underground King of Ninghai, Li Rui… Then, before even reaching Grandmaster Level, he dared to kill people of the Tianchi Sect, later offended the Tang Sect, and after that encountered one powerful enemy after another.

Moreover, as his strength kept increasing, his enemies grew ever stronger as well.

So what?

Isn't Qin Fang still living just fine, while on the contrary, quite a few of his enemies have ended up dead…

The Kunlun Sect, as the sect that holds the head of the Martial World, may truly be extremely powerful, but that doesn't make Qin Fang worried… If it weren't for that Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm, and for breaking through to the Great Grandmaster Level, he wouldn't even bother joining the Kunlun Sect!

If they really push him too far, Qin Fang will immediately turn around and defect to another sect…

With his strength and talent, plus the reliable information he brings, he could absolutely get taken in by several of the other sects… So right now Qin Fang indeed has some backing to be fearless, and simply doesn't put Shi Liang in his eyes.

It's just that, judging from some of Qing Xu Lao Dao's reactions, Qin Fang still has quite a bit of expectation toward this Kunlun Sect…

"Kill!"

This obviously wasn't the time to be thinking about such things. Qin Fang was extremely displeased with Shi Liang, even moved to kill; how could Shi Liang be any different?

He had already received certain hints from his master, and the moment he made a move it was an extremely vicious killer move, clearly intending to cut Qin Fang down on the spot…

Qin Fang had yet to join the Kunlun Sect, so for now he could only be considered an outsider.

If he were really killed, it wouldn't be that big a deal… No matter how much Qing Xu Lao Dao might hope for Qin Fang to join the Kunlun Sect, once the man is dead, there's no practical meaning in dwelling on those things.

As for the favor Qin Fang did the Kunlun Sect by returning the Qianyu Divine Sword, that is trouble for Qing Xu Lao Dao, the Sect Supreme Leader; their particular branch couldn't care less! They might even be able to fish some benefits for their branch from that very bit of trouble!

So, factoring in all sorts of reasons, Shi Liang also developed killing intent toward Qin Fang…

Boom boom boom~~~

Shi Liang's strength was indeed quite terrifying. Even without using a weapon, just relying on his fists, wrapped in the Gang Qi of a Great Grandmaster Level Expert, the power was still extremely frightening; that rumbling roar was like Heavenly Thunder itself.

Pff~~

But Qin Fang wasn't some pushover either!

If you're not using weapons, then you can only rely on fists and feet, which means you have to close in and fight at close quarters to unleash the most terrifying killing intent…

To deal with this kind of opponent, the best method is long-range sniping combat!

They only saw Qin Fang's Longsword point forward, and strand after strand of terrifying Sword Qi shot out…

"Sword Intent!"

The Kunlun Sect had many experts, and powerful experts naturally had sharp eyesight… With just that one move from Qin Fang, someone immediately noticed something unusual.

"And it's Attribute Sword Intent…"

Some could even see more, and the way they looked at Qin Fang changed drastically. "Annihilation Sword Intent…"

Back then, the Sword Sect Shushan had already been shattered and torn apart, completely vanishing from the Martial World.

However, some of the classics and secret techniques of the Shushan Sword Sect had not been completely lost; quite a portion had been snatched up by the Great Sects… such as sword-cultivating sects like Qingcheng and Diancang, and of course large sects like the Kunlun Sect and Tianya Haige!

You have to know, many of the Kunlun Sect's Martial Arts also use the sword… Naturally, sword-cultivator secret techniques held enormous appeal for them as well.

Thus, among the Kunlun Sect's experts, quite a few practiced swordsmanship. Though not all were as specialized in the Sword Dao as Jian Qingfeng, most of their cultivation was still invested into that single sword. Sword Qi goes without saying, and Sword Intent is also something these experts must comprehend.

But precisely because of that, they understood how incredibly difficult it is to comprehend Sword Intent…

Even though Jian Qingfeng was already a Great Grandmaster Level Expert, the level of his Sword Intent comprehension was still rather low-end! To reach a level like Qin Fang's, he'd have to cultivate for at least another ten years… Meaning, even among Kunlun Sect's senior experts, only a very few could match Qin Fang in Sword Intent.

Yet what was truly terrifying was not this level of Sword Intent, but the fact that Qin Fang had actually comprehended an even more fearsome Attribute Sword Intent…

Within the entire Kunlun Sect, there were many experts who had grasped Sword Intent, but those who had grasped Attribute Sword Intent numbered only two or three cats at most… Moreover, those Attribute Sword Intents weren't very strong, far inferior to Qin Fang's Annihilation Sword Intent by more than just a little.

The three strongest Sword Intents acknowledged by sword-cultivator experts… Slaughter, Destruction, Immortality!

Qin Fang had grasped one of them. Though still a step below the strongest Immortal Sword Intent, it was already incomparably terrifying! The power of this kind of Attribute Sword Intent was directly equivalent to at least twice that of an ordinary Non-Attributive Sword Intent!

In other words, even though Qin Fang's strength Realm was still at the Grandmaster Level, with the aid of this Annihilation Sword Intent, his Attack Power had already reached the Great Grandmaster Level!

Puff puff puff~~~

They only saw the Sword Qi imbued with Annihilation Sword Intent blasting against Shi Liang's Protective Gang Qi, letting out a rapid series of collision sounds… Shi Liang's expression also shifted from utter nonchalance to faint horror.

Pop~~

Right at this moment, Qin Fang's Destruction Sword Qi finally broke through his Protective Gang Qi.

"Crap!"

When the Protective Gang Qi shattered, Shi Liang's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He cried out in shock, cold sweat pouring down his back. Just a hair's breadth more, and Qin Fang's Destruction Sword Qi would have punctured straight through his body.

"Can't give him another chance…"

After this experience, Shi Liang no longer dared to underestimate Qin Fang. His eyes narrowed, and he started calculating madly in his heart!

"This brat… really has a lot of hidden trump cards!"

At this time Qing Xu Lao Dao also stopped pretending. His facial expression didn't change much, but the look in his eyes was completely different… He'd already heard some things about Qin Fang from Jian Qingfeng, but what you hear and what you see are clearly not the same.

Just based on this terrifying Annihilation Sword Intent of Qin Fang's alone, letting him join the Kunlun Sect would absolutely be an extremely wise decision!

Adding in all his other advantages only made Qing Xu Lao Dao even more determined to pull Qin Fang into the fold…

Of course, everything would have to wait until this sparring match was over…

Qing Xu Lao Dao calmed down again, continuing to wait for Qin Fang to reveal even more hidden cards!

"Die for me…"

Shi Liang was obviously no soft persimmon. Being forced into this state by Qin Fang completely enraged him. Seizing an opening, his figure flashed as his profound movement technique brought him instantly right in front of Qin Fang.

Since Shi Liang wasn't using a weapon, his strongest killer move naturally had to be executed at close range… and now he had finally gotten this chance!

"Idiot!"

But just as that berserk fist force surged up and was about to smash Qin Fang to pieces, Qin Fang, who was right in front of him, curled his lips into a cruel, mocking smile and spat out this single insult.

Buzz~~

Almost at the exact moment Qin Fang spoke, the milky-white Sword Qi surging on the Longsword in his hand was suddenly covered over by a blazing, scarlet light, and a wave of scorching heat slammed into Shi Liang's face.

To be precise, the instant Shi Liang threw that violent punch, Qin Fang's rampaging Sword Qi also lunged forward and slaughtered toward him…

Bang bang bang~~~

Sword Qi and fist force collided, producing an ear-splitting series of explosions.

However, that violent impact triggered a true detonation, directly whipping up a raging mass of Flame that rushed straight toward Shi Liang, who was so close he was practically within arm's reach!

"Ah…"

It all happened far too fast. Shi Liang had no time to react and was instantly engulfed by that mass of flame… Everyone could clearly hear his miserable scream; he was obviously being burned by the Flame.

"Eh… this Esoteric Sect Flame Knife?"

There were at least dozens of people present who had seen Qin Fang unleash this move. They all stared blankly at Shi Liang, who was wrapped in fire, and couldn't help muttering under their breath.

In their impression, only experts of the Esoteric Sect knew how to use True Qi to create the effect of Flame…

And Qin Fang had previously said that he had also cultivated some Buddhist Sect Cultivation Techniques, so it wasn't all that strange for him to display this "Flame Knife" secret art, even if the way he manifested it was slightly different from Esoteric Sect experts!

"Roar~~~"

However, if you thought such Flame alone could burn a Great Grandmaster Level Expert like Shi Liang to death, that was clearly not very realistic…

Even though Qin Fang had once burned Chen Zhi, who was also a Great Grandmaster Level Expert, to death, the situation was obviously different… At that time Chen Zhi's oil had run dry and his lamp had burned out; he had no strength left to resist Qin Fang's Flame Sword Qi, so of course he died.

But Shi Liang was a different story…

With a furious roar, the Gang Qi on Shi Liang's body surged violently and, by detonating his Protective Gang Qi, he easily blew away seventy to eighty percent of the Flame Qin Fang had conjured up!

"Hiss~~~"

When Shi Liang rushed out from within the flames, everyone finally saw what he looked like now, and quite a few of them sucked in a sharp breath.

"Hahahahaha…"

Others, however, just couldn't help bursting into wild laughter.

Shi Liang was a prominent disciple of the Kunlun Sect and normally paid a lot of attention to his personal image. But now… large parts of his clothing were burned through, full of holes all over; a chunk of his hair was missing, and his face had turned pitch-black, making him look like he'd just crawled out of a coal mine!

And all this was clearly the result of being roasted by Qin Fang's flames… (To be continued.
