Almighty Genius

Chapter 1760 - 1396: Choose a Dignified Way to Die!

However, Qin Fang's strength indeed hasn't advanced, still lingering at the Master Level, but with the amplification from multiple eruptions, Qin Fang's actual combat power has reached the Quasi-Grandmaster Level.Although he hasn't completely crossed that crucial threshold, he can already be considered a Semi-Grandmaster...

Semi-Grandmaster is still a Grandmaster, which marks quite a significant gap from the Master Level... Basically, experts below the Grandmaster Level can no longer pose a threat to him.

Gunman, Ji Xiang, these formidable assassins, although slightly lacking in strength, are not necessarily weaker than the average Semi-Grandmaster because of their adept and formidable assassin skills...

Unfortunately, everyone overlooked one point, they ignored Qin Fang's hidden identity... Qin Fang is also an assassin, and he even aims to become the King of Assassins. For origınal chapters go to novel✦fire.net

The gunman is formidable not only because of his extraordinary power but also because of his hidden identity as a ninja, one who has cultivated ninjutsu to a considerably high level.

Such a hidden identity provides him with numerous advantages in his assassin profession, allowing him to tackle stronger opponents and better hide himself...

Even a master like Ji Xiang, who is evenly matched with him, had an extremely unpleasant expression upon discovering that the gunman is a ninja.

It's not that Ji Xiang is inferior to the gunman; it's just that ninjas are natural-born assassins and are notoriously difficult to handle. Without the necessary tools, Ji Xiang may have no problem protecting himself, but defeating the gunman is impossible... Even if the gunman tries to escape, Ji Xiang is equally helpless!

Realizing that he can't do anything to the gunman, Ji Xiang already knows that he has lost more than half of his bet with Qin Fang.

They came to annihilate the gunman, so they naturally don't want him to escape easily. Since he has already failed, naturally the subsequent matters are left for Qin Fang to handle.

This is also why Ji Xiang uttered that sentence when he retreated to a safe zone...

During Ji Xiang and the gunman's fierce battle, Qin Fang quietly took out all the hidden posts and guards surrounding the estate.

Moreover, Qin Fang stealthily returned to the villa's side, using his Stealth Skill to conceal himself nearby, quietly observing Ji Xiang and the gunman's confrontation without intending to intervene immediately.

Since it's a bet, it needs to be fair and just. If he were to suddenly make a sneak attack while the two were fighting, even if he took down the gunman, his victory in this gamble would be quite dishonorable.

From the beginning, Qin Fang knew that the skills of the gunman and Ji Xiang were comparable and that it would be extremely difficult for either to resolve the other.

Unless they use destructive moves that harm both sides, it is hard to take down the opponent...

Qin Fang knows well that the gunman might resort to such tactics when facing a predicament; after all, the little devils' ninjutsu is inherently bizarre. Desperation moves wouldn't surprise Qin Fang...

But Qin Fang knows that Ji Xiang definitely wouldn't do that. Ji Xiang knows Qin Fang is hiding in the shadows, and with the two of them working together, they can easily kill the gunman without suffering any damage themselves.

A mere gamble doesn't matter much, a loss is just a loss. A master like Ji Xiang, who values the Martial Way above all, knows when an injury is worth it and when it's not...

Since Ji Xiang let go, naturally it's Qin Fang's turn to make a move...

It's just the gunman's bad luck; after using ninjutsu to become invisible, he decided to sneak attack Ji Xiang but chose a route that took him right past Qin Fang, who was also hiding...

At that moment, Ji Xiang spoke up, and without expending much effort, Qin Fang simply took out a Japanese Samurai Sword from the Props Box and casually stabbed it toward the gunman's back!

While still in stealth mode, Qin Fang couldn't really see the gunman, but he appeared on Qin Fang's mini-map, just passing right in front of Qin Fang. Qin Fang could even stab him accurately with his eyes closed...

Though the stab didn't directly hit the heart, it almost pierced right past it...

More fortuitously, the Japanese Samurai Sword has a certain curvature. Qin Fang's stab from behind pierced straight through the gunman's lung... and when it came out from the gunman's abdomen, it also punctured his kidney!

And that's just the damage to major organs. The knife's collateral damage, massive internal bleeding, and so on are not even the main points...

Basically, Qin Fang's casual stab already significantly reduced the gunman's strength; even if Qin Fang doesn't attack again, Ji Xiang can easily finish him off.

Of course, a severely injured gunman is far more frightening than an unharmed one... Feeling his life severely threatened, knowing most of it is gone, the gunman is likely to choose mutual destruction!

"Young Master Qin, don't look at me, he's yours... I'm afraid of getting bitten by this mad dog!"

Although Ji Xiang's strength is enough to deal with this impaired gunman, he doesn't want to get involved in this mess and risk getting himself dirty.

By voluntarily withdrawing, he essentially already conceded the pre-bet...

Since he admitted defeat, there's no need for him to take any more risks. It's only logical to let Qin Fang kill the gunman... so he can lose comfortably.

If the gunman ultimately died by his hands, Ji Xiang would feel greatly frustrated indeed.

"You kid..."

Qin Fang was momentarily speechless and could only smile helplessly.

Ji Xiang's reaction was expected by Qin Fang; the current gunman is practically a dead man, incapable of escaping from the encirclement of the two masters.

The outcome is already determined, so Qin Fang and his side naturally should strive to minimize their losses...

A mad dog is troublesome enough; if it's a desperate mad dog intent on mutual destruction, it's the most troublesome of troublesome!

To minimize losses, the best method is for both to join forces to eliminate him, or better yet, have Qin Fang, who is significantly stronger than the gunman, finish him off!

Since Ji Xiang doesn't want to exert himself, it's naturally Qin Fang who will take action...

"I'll give you a chance to choose an honorable way to die..."

Qin Fang didn't mind, smiled helplessly, then turned to the gunman, whose face was stern with a cold and vicious gaze, speaking in a calm tone.

Choose the way to die?

Normally, if the gunman heard someone say this to him, he would laugh loudly, then torture the opponent to death in the cruelest manner.

But this time, hearing those words fell into his ears, filling him with deep helplessness... with no outlet for his burning rage!

"What? Unwilling?"

Qin Fang looked at the gunman with an indifferent expression, speaking in a calm, even teasing tone.

There's no denying it; the gunman is an extremely difficult opponent. If he weren't severely injured, even Qin Fang would have to expend considerable effort to kill him.

But now...

An expert badly injured, having almost lost half his life, is like a declawed tiger, no longer posing any threat to him.

Indeed, no threat at all...

"Fine, as your Dragon Country's proverb goes, 'The winner becomes the king, and the loser becomes the bandit'... since I've fallen to this stage today, I've nothing more to say! I choose an honorable way to die..."

The gunman took a deep breath, his expression calming, his tone much more peaceful, speaking as he pulled out a small dagger from his body, seemingly prepared to stab toward his heart as he spoke...

However, just as the dagger was about to pierce his heart, his expression changed instantly, and the dagger in his hand suddenly changed trajectory bizarrely, flying at high speed toward the composed yet seemingly unguarded Qin Fang...(To be continued.
