Chapter 2436 Five Consecutive Wins! Duolun!

First update, seeking subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~

...

All the headache-inducing matters are left to those big shots to handle, Qin Fang and the others are just small fry and don't need to worry about such things!

Even if Emperor Xie really shows up, it's a matter for those Paramount Experts, Qin Fang and the others even if they want to be involved, at least they need to wait until they're eligible!

Clearly, their strength as young disciples is too weak, they have no qualifications at all!

Even some elders in the sect, in the presence of those Paramount Experts, are destined to be cannon fodder... No matter how strong Qing Xu Lao Dao and others are, in front of Emperor Shi Wanxie, they are still cannon fodder!

As for Qin Fang, it's business as usual, as if nothing happened, early in the morning he followed the sect's team and headed to Sea of Heartlessness.

The formation of Sea of Heartlessness has been greatly modified, clearly indicating that Evil Sect has not been idle.

But Qin Fang did not make a sound, since those big shots already know but remain silent, they are definitely playing a massive game, which is not something a "small fry" like him can shoulder.

So, he pretended to know nothing, focusing entirely on his duel!

After defeating Fang Buping and Ye Xiang, Qin Fang's rank is now at the top in his group, while Fang Buping, Ye Xiang, and the Shaolin Monk Enlightened Heart are each one win and one loss ranked second, third, and fourth respectively, and the last place belongs to Duolun from Western Region Esoteric Sect.

The third round began, Qin Fang's opponent is the Shaolin Monk Enlightened Heart.

Yesterday while drinking, Monk Wu Fa and Monk Wukong mentioned, he is also quite a talented expert, his position in Shaolin is slightly lower than Monk Wu Fa but much stronger than Monk Wukong.

"Senior Brother Qin, poor monk acknowledges I am not a match for Senior Brother, however...I still want to give it a try!"

However, Monk Enlightened Heart clearly watched the battle between Qin Fang and Ye Xiang, truly facing Qin Fang now, he shrugged with a bitter smile, evidently not convinced he can defeat Qin Fang.

"Please..."

Although the opponent is very polite, the ones who make it to the finals are not weak... Moreover, Monk Enlightened Heart's record is one win and one loss, only losing to Ye Xiang due to cultivation technique counter!

Clearly, he is also a close-combat expert, possibly trained in Monk Wu Fa's Great Compassion Palm, Thunderclap Palm such ultimate techniques, requiring careful response... Otherwise, there's the risk of an unexpected upset.

Qin Fang became alert and cautious, making it exceptionally difficult for Monk Enlightened Heart to defeat Qin Fang.

And facts proved Qin Fang's prediction...

This Monk Enlightened Heart is a close-combat expert, not only trained in Shaolin's Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill but also practiced some special secret techniques, including the Thunderclap Palm Monk Wu Fa used on the Evil Sect expert...

Thunderbolt Bombs is acclaimed to be invincible below Grandmaster Level, quite suitable to use against Qin Fang... Despite Qin Fang having Great Grandmaster Level strength, his Realm is still stuck at Grandmaster Level.

"Unexpectedly, I still lost..."

Monk Enlightened Heart acknowledges his strength is inferior to Qin Fang but opted to fight Qin Fang regardless, intending to counter Qin Fang with Thunderclap Palm... Unfortunately, Qin Fang anticipated the Thunderclap Palm and focused on defense, resulting in no achievements.

Thunderclap Palm didn't work, hence the following contest is predictable, Monk Enlightened Heart was virtually dominated by Qin Fang...

Monk Enlightened Heart tried to close in, but was forcefully suppressed by Qin Fang's Sword Qi, forced to retreat into defense...

Meanwhile, Qin Fang suddenly got close when Monk Enlightened Heart showed a flaw, utilizing explosive Strength, easily knocked him away... Completely denying Monk Enlightened Heart's counter opportunity, Qin Fang withdrew.

Three rounds in quick succession, Monk Enlightened Heart grew weary of the exhausting fight.

Realizing resistance is futile, Monk Enlightened Heart decisively conceded this round.

He needs to preserve strength, preparing for the major battle against Fang Buping from Tianya Haige, striving for a second victory... Ye Xiang can defeat him due to cultivation technique counter, yet Fang Buping clearly lacks this advantage, naturally, he still holds a chance.

Monk Enlightened Heart admitted defeat, Qin Fang achieved his fifth consecutive win.

Simultaneously, Qin Fang, with a record of three wins, has already secured a spot in the advance rounds... This means he has pre-booked a spot among the top six.

There's no choice, even if either Ye Xiang or Fang Buping wins three rounds, their defeat against Qin Fang is indisputable, inevitably securing only second place, while Qin Fang remains first.

Moreover, Qin Fang's final round opponent is the weakest in the group, Duolun from Esoteric Sect...

This Duolun is practically the weakest in the group, easy to beat... Whether it's Fang Buping, Ye Xiang, or Monk Enlightened Heart, he almost offered little resistance and directly lost.

One could say, it was quite an outright defeat...

Against such an opponent, should he miraculously turn the tables on Qin Fang, hardly anyone would believe it.

"Fourth round, Kunlun Sect's Qin Fang against Western Region Esoteric Sect's Duolun..."

After a brief rest, Qin Fang ascended to the ring once more, facing his final opponent, Duolun from Esoteric Sect.

Before the competition started, almost no one was optimistic about Duolun...

Qin Fang had successively defeated the other strong experts in the group, showcasing how terrifyingly powerful his cultivation was... whereas Duolun was exactly the opposite; he had lost to the other three people consecutively. Facing Qin Fang now, there was even less hope for a victory.

Despite this, Duolun still walked steadily onto the stage, glaring at Qin Fang with a sinister expression, even blatantly disregarding the etiquette of acknowledging defeats.

"Huh?"

What surprised Qin Fang was that Duolun was enveloped with a surging hatred that was astounding... The crimson glow nearly made him unable to open his eyes.

"How deep is this grudge... Is it the murder of a father, or the theft of a wife?"

Qin Fang couldn't help murmuring this within his heart.

Apparently, this was the first time he had seen Duolun, with no conflicts between them. Why then was Duolun so hostile towards him?

Such intense hostility seemed to be warranted by only Jiali Cuo among the Five Great Sects...

"Jiali Cuo..."

Upon mentioning the name, Qin Fang suddenly thought of something and instinctively glanced at his opponent before asking in a peculiar tone, "What's your relation to Jiali Cuo?"

"He's my brother..."

Duolun hesitated for a moment before answering decisively.

In truth, there wasn't even a need for such a question; merely looking at the appearance of the two could vaguely hint at Duolun and Jiali Cuo's relationship... Although not entirely identical, their facial features were seventy to eighty percent similar.

Now, Duolun's answer essentially verified that speculation!

Duolun and Jiali Cuo were biological brothers. Despite having both joined the monastic order, there remained a significant difference between the Esoteric and Zen Sects... Family ties were still considered important, especially because they were both so young.

"You want to avenge him?"

Once understanding Duolun and Jiali Cuo's relationship, Qin Fang could comprehend Duolun's current reaction.

Jiali Cuo originally had a promising future, but Qin Fang brutally destroyed it... Though this was an unspoken rule in the martial world, such a clear opportunity was present before him now; how could he let it slip by?

"Indeed!"

Duolun made no attempt to conceal his motive...

Moreover, the grouping itself was deliberately arranged by certain people to put pressure on Qin Fang... Qin Fang had staked heavily, nearly shaming Shaolin, and naturally, Shaolin, as the host, wouldn't mind intervening in Qin Fang's group.

First Fang Buping, then Ye Xiang, and now Duolun...

"Does this Duolun have something to rely on?"

Qin Fang could guess Duolun's purpose.

But what truly concerned Qin Fang was where Duolun derived such confidence... With the same trio as opponents, Duolun had been defeated by all three, whereas Qin Fang had triumphed over them, demonstrating the gap between Duolun and Qin Fang.

Yet even so, Duolun confidently accepted the challenge... It was unthinkable that he wouldn't have some secret cards or reliance; Qin Fang was absolutely convinced of this.

"Please..."

Despite pondering these thoughts, Qin Fang knew better than to voice them, opting to proceed and heightening his vigilance!

"Kill!"

Duolun was indeed ferocious beyond belief, unleashing an extremely ruthless killer move aimed directly at Qin Fang's vital areas... He appeared not to be competing, but seeking vengeance, naturally with no scruples in his actions.

However, Duolun's actions also made some people's expressions rather unsightly... At least, Senior Brother Qin Fang's master, Qing Xu Lao Dao, now wore an expression akin to a pot bottom, angrily glaring at Esoteric Sect Leader Master Zhadao!

Of course, Master Zhadao wasn't intimidated, equally returning a menacing glare to Qing Xu Lao Dao... Both being mid-stage Supreme Realm experts, neither feared the other.

From the looks of them, if it weren't for the concern of the crowd, the two old foxes might have already clashed.

"Overestimating oneself..."

Naturally, Qin Fang was unaware of the subtle contest beneath the stage, focusing only on dealing with the opponent before him... Though still uncertain what Duolun relied upon, Qin Fang could sense that Duolun's trump card was certainly extraordinary, perhaps even threatening.

Otherwise, why would Master Zhadao, the Esoteric Sect Leader, watch the match with a smiling face?

Presumably, he was well-aware of Duolun's tactics and awaited favorable news! (To be continued.
