Chapter 2241 - 1735: The Provoker—Fight!
The second update, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~...
A night passed without a word, the sneak attack Qin Fang imagined did not occur, and even throughout the night, Helen stayed upstairs busy... At most, during dinner, Helen changed into a sexy nightdress and came over to seduce Qin Fang a bit.
However, Qin Fang also figured out that Helen was all talk, and didn't dare to make any bold moves...
So, after teasing her for a couple of sentences, Qin Fang was personally escorted out by Helen from the Meizhou Club, everything was so harmonious and natural, hardly anyone noticed anything unusual.
"It's finally set in motion..."
Leaving the Meizhou Club, Qin Fang immediately began searching for the elite squad he had subdued...
Since he dared to let these people operate outside, Qin Fang did some trick to ensure that other than the elixir, he had some other special methods ensuring these people could not escape from his control within a certain range.
Even if they were to flee the country, Qin Fang still had a way to handle them...
"Young Master Qin..."
In a short while, Qin Fang found the squad, Charlie and others were all looking at Qin Fang with astonishment, quite frightened... They planned to contact Qin Fang after leaving Jiangzhou and confirming the news, but unexpectedly Qin Fang caught up with them.
"No more idle talk, from now on, I am Shadow..."
Qin Fang did not give them much of a chance to explain, just by seeing their states, he knew these people weren't intentionally trying to escape, and that was enough...
The purpose of Qin Fang's trip was naturally to obtain a reasonable identity so that he could very comfortably enter the cooperation between the Six Major Chinese Clans and the Hand of the Devil.
"Yes!"
Charlie and others now found Qin Fang astonishing, and they also knew that this mission was extremely dangerous, with a high mortality rate, but with a King-Level Fighter like Qin Fang, their survival possibilities increased significantly.
In this way, they were quite welcoming of Qin Fang's involvement... Despite Qin Fang's slightly intimidating introduction!
"Danxia Mountain?"
And Qin Fang also learned from Charlie and the others about the destination of the current operation.
But hearing this place's name made Qin Fang slightly stunned.
Danxia Mountain is not well-known, just an ordinary mountain range in the southern part of Jiangnan Province, although its area is not too small, it seemingly hasn't been mentioned in any particularly magical or mystical legends.
In comparison, the Maoshan nearby Danxia Mountain is entirely different, it truly is a Cave Paradise-like existence, with numerous legends passed down since ancient times, and is one of the remaining holy lands of the Taoist Sect.
The legendary Maoshan Taoist arts are still remembered by many...
However, Qin Fang and others are all experts wandering in the Martial World, although some very impressive Taoists have emerged from Maoshan, it is not as exaggerated as the legends... As for some celestial-like existences, none have been seen for hundreds of years.
Even a Cave Paradise like Maoshan is like this, then this obscure Danxia Mountain... is probably even more insignificant!
"Underground palace... what kind of underground palace is it?"
Qin Fang was also somewhat perplexed, pondering over the conversation he heard yesterday, with the key hinging on this underground palace.
Unfortunately, he had too little data on hand, and no time to arrange for people to gather more, so he could only play along, first blending into the Hand of the Devil Mercenary Corps, waiting for the opportunity...
The Hand of the Devil Mercenary Corps dispatched quite a lot of people this time, but they were just cannon fodder sent to die, this was evident to both the people from the Six Major Families and Vincent of the Hand of the Devil, and even Charlie and his gang knew this.
But mercenaries live this licking-knife-edge lifestyle, if they perish, everything is over, but if they're lucky enough to survive, unimaginable rewards await... So, along with anxiety, Charlie and others also felt quite excited and thrilled.
Jiangzhou to Danxia Mountain is not that far, Qin Fang and his group of six took just over two hours to reach here... and settled in the small town at the foot of the mountain, having been ordered to await further instructions upon arrival at the destination.
"Indeed, quite a number of people have come..."
After settling in, Qin Fang and his team went out to explore the surrounding terrain, routes, and gather intelligence, which did make Qin Fang slightly surprised, as the Hand of the Devil really deployed quite a number of experts this time.
With just a simple scan, there were more than a dozen experts who reached Level 7, and a few individuals even truly achieved the Grandmaster-level tier... Although these individuals could not pose a threat to Qin Fang, if they attacked together, even he would find it quite troublesome.
These people are all mercenaries, with not only strong individual combat abilities but also very coordinated in teamwork, especially when fully equipped, even a King-Level Fighter like Qin Fang must respond carefully, lest he ends up capsizing in a ditch.
A group of six people split up to act, and after a short while, they had thoroughly scouted this not-too-large town. Then, they gathered at a restaurant with an excellent view.
However, just as Qin Fang and his team reserved a room and were about to go upstairs, they ran into another group of people. This group was slightly larger, with a total of nine people led by a very robust black man.
The other party seemed to have just finished their meal and was preparing to go downstairs and leave, which led to them facing Qin Fang's group head-on. The black man suddenly brightened his eyes, leaned against the stair railing, and placed a thick hairy leg over the railing on the other side of the stairs, directly blocking the way.
The people behind him also had strange expressions. They took out some items and pretended to be occupied, all blocking the stairs.
"Get out of the way!"
Seeing this black man, Charlie's face turned very ugly, especially noticing that the other party purposely blocked the stairs, clearly indicating Qin Fang's group wasn't allowed to go upstairs. This made him yell out in anger.
Even though Qin Fang was the true commander, he was acting behind the scenes. Charlie was still the one in charge on the surface, even if the group was walking together, Charlie was at the front. But unexpectedly, the other party seemed to recognize Charlie directly.
"What if I don't let you pass?"
This black man didn't seem to put Charlie in his eyes at all, mocking him, "Oh, aren't you guys quite powerful? How come there are only six of you now? Where are the others? Are they all dead?"
Despite this black man being large and robust, his words were treacherously sarcastic, causing his teammates to burst into laughter.
"Heh... If your whole gang were here, I might give you some face, but now, I'm not letting you pass, what can you do about it?"
This black man seemed very dissatisfied with Charlie, deliberately finding trouble.
"You..."
Charlie was infuriated, almost about to lash out, but was held back by a hand. Naturally, it was Qin Fang who intervened, noticing that the other party was from the Hand of the Demon, although the two parties seemed highly incompatible.
"Young Master Qin, he is called Gatt, our arch-nemesis. Almost every time there's an operation, they oppose us! Two members of our team were killed by them... But we've also killed some of their people!"
Seeing Qin Fang intervene, Charlie naturally backed down, quietly explaining the black man's identity to Qin Fang and briefly describing the vendetta between the two sides.
"If that's the case, let's beat them up first and talk later..."
Qin Fang nodded slightly and responded softly, essentially establishing today's approach.
The opposing team's strength wasn't weak, comparable to Charlie's previous eight-member team. Especially, the black man Gatt had reached the grandmaster level, making him the strongest among them.
With five against nine, Charlie's side was sure to suffer losses... But, since Qin Fang spoke up, they certainly wouldn't be bullied.
Previously, Charlie's team was part of the Hand of the Demon, but now they were under Qin Fang. Qin Fang certainly wouldn't let his people be bullied by outsiders... The best solution in such situations is... to fight!
"Attack!"
With Qin Fang's orders, Charlie had no more scruples, immediately signaling to the others with a look, and then softly commanded, launching the first strike against the black man Gatt.
Thud thud~~
Almost simultaneously as Charlie made his move, Qin Fang didn't remain on the sidelines. He too acted swiftly... Two silver needles silently flew out, one darting towards Gatt's back neck, the other stabbing into Gatt's leg!
With Qin Fang's superior strength, how could the other party dodge?
Gatt didn't even have a chance to react, seeing Charlie's fist grow bigger and bigger in his eyes, then...
Bang~~~
A fist as large as a casserole pot smashed directly into Gatt's jaw with tremendous force. It almost instantly knocked his two-hundred-pound body into the air, rapidly descending down the stairs.
"Ugh..."
Everyone was stunned by such a scene, even Charlie was immensely shocked...
In terms of individual strength, he wasn't the strongest in the team, much weaker than Gatt. Even with an ambush enhancement just now, the effect wouldn't have been so impressive.
Unless...
Thinking of this, Charlie instinctively glanced at Qin Fang. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
