Chapter 2583 Digging a Pit and Waiting for the Enemy to Jump!

...

Correspondingly, this time the two employers for the assassination task on Qin Fang...

Elder Qingyuan is the Chief Elder of the Kunlun Sect's Elders Council, holding a prominent position within the sect, but his cultivation is just comparable to his status... Moreover, if he resorts to assassination, Elder Qingyuan definitely won't evade it.

Hu Yiren is a bigwig of the Blood Demon Sect's Hu Clan, and his status is also quite high, with a cultivation slightly stronger than Elder Qingyuan... Even though he hasn't yet reached the Half-Step Supreme Realm, it's estimated to be almost there.

Facing such opponents, even the Mercenary King Ling Hu would find it quite strenuous; assassination might have a few chances of success, but a frontal assault... him managing to keep his life intact would be considered quite good.

However, estimating himself to be alone, even if the Mercenary King Ling Hu failed, he could still escape calmly; even Hu Yiren wouldn't be able to catch up with him!

But when the Mercenary King Ling Hu faced off against Qin Fang, he truly got the worst luck of his life...

Not only did he fail to take down Qin Fang, he ended up in such a predicament himself... He didn't even have a chance to escape before getting surrounded by Qin Fang!

This comparison highlights the considerable disparity in strength between the two parties!

"What do you plan to do next?"

The cooperation plan was more or less decided between them, but the specific plan still needed joint deliberation from the two.

"How did you make arrangements with them?"

Qin Fang wasn't in a hurry; he merely asked back.

Given that Elder Qingyuan and the Blood Demon Sect's Hu Yiren were after the Azure Heart on Qin Fang, they would inevitably show up once the Mercenary King Ling Hu succeeded… There's no way they'd want such a treasure to fall into Ling Hu's hands.

Exactly because of this, Qin Fang decided to turn the Mercenary King Ling Hu, intending to take out these two employers in retaliation…

"This part hasn't been finalized yet..."

Mercenary King Ling Hu said, "They had considered the difficulty of this task previously, so they gave me relatively ample time... I can choose the opportunity to strike, such as just now, or I could wait until you return to Ninghai and then make my move!"

"As long as I successfully take you down and contact them afterward, they would rush over here with the fastest speed..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Fang simply nodded.

"Meaning, Qingyuan and Hu Yiren should be hiding nearby, otherwise them rushing over here would be quite troublesome... In that case, things become easier!"

"Contact them and say you've succeeded..."

Considering the current excellent opportunity, Qin Fang planned to eliminate these two potential enemies first… Going to Ninghai would risk them causing unpredictable trouble when going mad.

Although Qin Fang already exerted effort in enhancing the power of his few women, the strongest Tang Feifei was barely at Grandmaster Level, with the others only at Master Level... This was far too weak against the increasingly formidable enemies nowadays.

This situation is reminiscent of how Tang Feifei and the other women were previously fragile and delicate.

"Wait, we need to set things up first..."

Wanting to act right away, Qin Fang started preparing immediately.

Just as the Mercenary King Ling Hu was about to contact Qingyuan and Hu Yiren, Qin Fang suddenly remembered something, and immediately stopped Ling Hu.

Then, under the curious gaze of Mercenary King Ling Hu, Qin Fang unleashed a series of violent palm strikes onto the ground around, tearing the place apart with pits and hollows... Then Qin Fang lay in one of the large pits.

Not only did he lie there, Qin Fang also took out some props from his Props Box, such as... tomato sauce, and applied it directly to his chest to fake being mortally wounded.

"This should be good..."

Then he instructed Mercenary King Ling Hu to take a photo with a phone and send it along when notifying Qingyuan and Hu Yiren.

"..."

Seeing this, Mercenary King Ling Hu couldn't help but be taken aback, but his mouth also revealed a slight smile.

Although he himself thought this made it more secure, he couldn't help but chuckle at Qin Fang's deceitful tricks... despite how he sometimes resorted to unscrupulous means to complete a task, compared to Qin Fang's sly tactics, he still looked rather virtuous.

Qingyuan and Hu Yiren would likely be elated upon seeing this photo...

Then rushing over excitedly, only to suddenly realize their opponent is not dead but set a trap waiting for them, they'd probably wish they were dead!

...

Just a few dozen kilometers away from Qin Fang.

Two men in strange black robes were huddled together... pointing at the photos on a phone.

"That's right, it's him..."

Even if turned to ashes, Elder Qingyuan wouldn't mistake it, he said excitedly, "Old Hu, I didn't expect the expert you introduced to be so formidable, Qin Fang is no simple opponent, yet he still fell into his hands..."

"Of course! It took me a great deal of effort to enlist his help..."

Hu Yiren of the Blood Demon Sect also said with some pride, "We must hurry; the longer the delay, the more likely things can go wrong! Such a treasure, that Ling Hu kid might also be tempted..."

Although Mercenary King Ling Hu helped them get rid of Qin Fang, it was for a lavish reward they paid.

However, compared to that reward, the value of the Azure Heart is obviously much greater...

If time is short, Mercenary King Ling Hu might temporarily refrain from taking action against Qin Fang as agreed beforehand, but if the time drags on, who can say... Treasures have a way of tempting people, let alone one that can help a Grandmaster-level Peak Expert break into the Supreme Realm.

Qingyuan and Hu Yiren are both stuck at this level, and so is Mercenary King Ling Hu; all three of them need the Azure Heart, but there's only one drop, so someone is bound to be out of luck.

Both Qingyuan and Hu Yiren spent a substantial amount of money, naturally hoping the treasure would fall into their own hands...

But if Mercenary King Ling Hu not only takes their reward and also keeps the treasure for himself, then they truly gain nothing and lose everything, which is not the outcome they wish to see.

Thus, upon hearing the news of Qin Fang's death, Qingyuan and Hu Yiren didn't even take the time to examine the flaws in the photo, immediately rushing towards the location marked by Mercenary King Ling Hu.

"Now, we're just waiting for them..."

After dealing with these two employers, Qin Fang also took a rest here, waiting for the enemy to arrive.

He secretly contacted Blue-wing Bat King Wei Chunqiu, who though sent by Qin Fang to investigate Hu Yiren's information, was soon lured away by another mysterious person, leaving Hu Yiren and Elder Qingyuan to Ding Chen.

Were it not so, Qin Fang wouldn't have needed to persuade Mercenary King Ling Hu nor join with him to trick Qingyuan and Hu Yiren.

"They'll be here soon, within a few minutes I guess... Shouldn't we also prepare well on our side? Qingyuan and Hu Yiren are not easily dealt with; it's really not easy to kill them."

Mercenary King Ling Hu couldn't help but remind, as this battle is not only crucial for Qin Fang but equally important for him... This is his last battle, his final mission, and upon completion, he can formally retire.

"Don't worry, the young ones are already prepared..."

Qin Fang said nonchalantly.

If the mysterious person who lured away Blue-wing Bat King Wei Chunqiu was coming, Qin Fang would certainly be cautious and might have already fled...

But now it's just Elder Qingyuan and Grandmaster-level Peak Expert Hu Yiren arriving, things are much easier for Qin Fang...

In a one-on-one situation, he can easily take down Elder Qingyuan. Although Hu Yiren's power is said to be formidable, possibly equivalent to a Half-Step Supreme Realm expert, while Qin Fang can't instantly kill him, he can certainly hold him off.

He has arranged for Mercenary King Ling Hu to strike secretly...

Seeking the optimal moment to attack, with Hu Yiren as the primary target, followed by Elder Qingyuan... But if circumstances don't allow, then kill Elder Qingyuan first and regroup with Qin Fang to jointly kill Hu Yiren!

As for those eighteen Nether Beasts, they are entirely used as a secret weapon...

Elder Qingyuan and Hu Yiren are both Grandmaster-level Peak Experts with formidable strength. If they sense something wrong and decide to escape, Qin Fang and Mercenary King Ling Hu might indeed not be able to stop them...

If they can't stop them, it spells complete danger!

Not only will experts from the Kunlun Sect turn hostile, but the Blood Demon Sect will also not spare Qin Fang.

Although Qin Fang firmly believes he can flatten the Blood Demon Sect in the future and quell the turmoil within the Kunlun Sect, before reaching such power, he must be cautious, thorough, and again, cautious.

The eighteen Nether Beasts are one of Qin Fang's trump cards, and facing such an important battle, he wouldn't hesitate to deploy them all, waiting for Elder Qingyuan and Hu Yiren's appearances!

Ten minutes later,

"They're here..."

Qin Fang murmured, reminding Mercenary King Ling Hu, while he himself hid in the giant crater, feigning death... To make it more convincing, Qin Fang even used some props to set the scene very, very realistically!

For those not in the know, seeing such a scene, they would surely believe Qin Fang has already died at the hands of Mercenary King Ling Hu... But this facade is exactly what Qin Fang needs, for only real enough can it deceive those two old foxes, Qingyuan and Hu Yiren. (To be continued.
