Chapter 2423 - 1917: Using the Short to Strike the Long

Second update, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~...

It's just a minor injury... not even particularly serious!

Ye Xiang's defense was much stronger than Qin Fang had imagined... Despite taking a palm strike from Qin Fang, he only spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Such strong Xuan Ku Force..."

Qin Fang, having withdrawn his hand, couldn't help but rub his palm, and said with great feeling.

Even though he succeeded in the sneak attack, the entire body of Ye Xiang resonated with the Xuan Ku Force like a porcupine full of quills... When he attacks others, they suffer; when others attack him, they suffer as well.

It was precisely the defense of the Xuan Ku Force that prevented Qin Fang's ferocious palm strike from directly knocking Ye Xiang off the stage...

"Your strength is indeed formidable..."

Ye Xiang, having slightly caught his breath, drank seriously at this moment.

When he was still a grandmaster-level expert, he was already quite well-known, and his cultivation was rather impressive—enough to easily defeat masters like Jiali Cuo... Now, having stepped into the Great Grandmaster Level, his cultivation has become incredibly terrifying,

Although challenging those seed players presents considerable difficulty, it's not out of the realm of possibility for him to turn the situation around... This is one of the factors making him a "dark horse."

Unexpectedly, the first seed player he encountered happened to be Qin Fang, temporarily put forth by the Kunlun Sect.

And in their first confrontation, he suffered a minor setback...

"You're not bad yourself!"

Qin Fang said calmly.

However, while speaking, his eyes inconspicuously glanced in a certain direction... to be precise, it looked as if someone's gaze in the distance was focused on him, which also made him feel a sense of awareness.

"Sigh, yet another troublesome matter..."

Although Qin Fang didn't have sufficient power to confirm the identity of the other party, he vaguely guessed it was someone, and muttered to himself.

Most likely it's the Sect Master of the Snow Mountain Sect, a mid-stage Supreme Realm top expert...

Earlier, when Qin Fang dodged Ye Xiang, he used a bit of Thousand Skills for deception, but his movement technique was still the Snow Traversing Step from the Snow Mountain Sect... This old man undoubtedly noticed this, hence the reaction.

In the past, Qin Fang might have been worried, as this is the Snow Mountain Sect's secret technique, absolutely not taught elsewhere...

But now Qin Fang is less concerned because he has the backing of the more powerful Kunlun Sect than the Snow Mountain Sect...

This Sect Master of the Snow Mountain Sect might be furious, but dealing with Qin Fang would be impossible—not only is he a senior expert with no face to casually attack a junior, but he also has to see if Qing Xu Lao Dao would agree.

The fighting among Supreme Realm powerhouses is extremely destructive... If true flames of battle were to arise, this Wu Xin Sea Minor Secret Realm right in front could be completely obliterated by the two paramount experts in a very short time.

It's precisely because of this that despite the large number of Supreme Experts on Earth, real fights at that level are exceedingly rare, possibly not happening once in ten or twenty years!

Qin Fang is now a seed player for the Kunlun Sect and is a promising genius soon to be cultivated. Qing Xu Lao Dao absolutely does not want any accident to befall Qin Fang... Therefore, he must shield Qin Fang from the trouble with the Snow Mountain Sect.

As for what resolution the Kunlun Sect and Snow Mountain Sect will come to, that's not something Qin Fang needs to worry about... A seed player and talented disciple like him always has some special privileges within the sect.

Just like the "Lawless and Unruly" brothers, despite causing so much trouble, they still live with gusto? Even their status within Shaolin continues to ascend, clearly becoming the leaders among the second generation disciples.

Even some older and stronger seniors find their status is not as high as theirs...

Perhaps their behaviors destined them not to become Shaolin's Fangzhang, but positions like Abbot of the Dharma Hall and Abbot of the Bodhi Hall are basically tailor-made for them... After stepping into the Supreme Realm, they will be Shaolin's ultimate weapon.

If nothing unexpected happens, the two should have no big problem stepping into the Supreme Realm...

Even if there are some unexpected hurdles, at least one of them should successfully advance... The two are brothers by blood, even though they are monks, they still have some familial ties, and others, to some extent, need to show a bit of deference.

Qin Fang's current status is equivalent to these two... However, Qin Fang must use this Five Sect Competition to prove his qualification for such treatment!

If not, he will not only lose such qualifications but also face even fiercer revenge from some individuals... At that time, even if Qing Xu Lao Dao is his master, some people may not hesitate and stop.

"Come again..."

With myriad thoughts swirling, Qin Fang saw Ye Xiang revitalized after a brief rest, with an undiminished aura, even stronger than before... Obviously, Qin Fang's strength further stimulated his improvement.

"Let's go..."

Of course, Qin Fang wasn't afraid of Ye Xiang, and after a cold shout, he directly moved, actually taking the initiative...

"Even if you are a porcupine, today... I'll strip all those quills off you!"

Qin Fang's voice was rather cold. Although it didn't carry an obvious intent to kill, it showed that he was truly serious now.

Clang~~

The Flowing Shadow Divine Sword was directly thrown to the edge of the arena by Qin Fang. He intended to abandon long-range combat tactics.

"Damn. This kid is crazy..."

Witnessing this scene, many people who understood Ye Xiang's background couldn't help but express such thoughts. Although Jian Qingfeng's expression remained calm, one could see some concern in his eyes.

Ye Xiang's cultivation of the Xuan Ku Divine Skill was a perverse ultimate technique, and the Xuan Ku Force was unpredictable and enigmatic, belonging to close combat skills that were challenging to deal with... While Qin Fang's long-range attacks might not cause significant harm to him, they could effectively weaken Ye Xiang's attack power.

As long as this period was dragged out, Ye Xiang would become a spent force...

But now, Qin Fang actually abandoned the optimal strategy and switched to a head-on collision method... This made it hard to prevent any unexpected occurrences!

"Actually, you don't need to worry about him at all! This guy is essentially a freak..."

Monk Wukong had arrived at an unknown time. He was also watching Qin Fang's contest and couldn't help but mutter a sentence.

"This kid is becoming increasingly difficult to see through..."

Jian Qingfeng also smiled wryly and said... Because of Qin Fang, he was acquainted with Monk Wukong now. Although their relationship wasn't too close, it was fairly good.

The key was that Monk Wu Fa was a participating contestant, making it unsuitable for him to appear here due to potential bias, but Monk Wukong had already been eliminated, so he didn't have such concerns.

"Don't worry, he's definitely about to make a move..."

At this time, Qin Fang was once again exchanging blows with Ye Xiang. Monk Wukong squinted slightly as he watched, a slight smile slowly appearing on his lips... He knew Qin Fang well, and naturally, he could think of the strategies Qin Fang might use.

Seeing Qin Fang's little movements, he knew that Qin Fang was about to execute a move.

Clap clap clap~~

Qin Fang's palm energy was substantially powerful, repeatedly striking Ye Xiang's protective gang qi, resonating the Xuan Ku Force outside Ye Xiang's body... Although Qin Fang's palms were slightly red and swollen from the strikes, the rhythm of the battle was firmly in Qin Fang's control.

Though the Traceless Snow Stepping Technique wasn't as refined as the Light Wave-Stepping, it was quite exquisite in small-scale maneuvers... Combined with Qin Fang's extraordinary agility, he demonstrated the absolute excellence of this movement technique to its fullest potential.

Even the Supreme Realm Powerhouses and the Sect Master of the Snow Mountain Sect, seated in the distance, seeing this scene, couldn't help but gently stroke their beards, seemingly very pleased...

But Ye Xiang clearly felt differently...

He felt extremely suppressed, his movements hindered... Although the opportunity was right there, every attempt was interrupted halfway by Qin Fang, unable to continue.

It wasn't that he was too weak; his opponent was too strong!

"I won't lose..."

Ye Xiang was obviously not willing to concede, and immediately shouted, the Xuan Ku Force erupting fully!

At this moment, the distance between him and Qin Fang was incredibly small, almost without any obstruction!

"Ye Xiang is in trouble..."

But just when everyone thought Ye Xiang would seal victory with one decisive strike, Monk Wukong and Jian Qingfeng's eyes almost simultaneously lit up, and they exclaimed in unison.

"Tiger's Rush..."

Almost as they spoke, Qin Fang had already started to move, subtly shifting his form, seemingly releasing a long-prepared ultimate move!

This was a move Qin Fang had rarely used for quite a long time!

Since he obtained more powerful secret techniques and skills, he had hardly used this move...

But now, Qin Fang unleashed it once again.

Bang~~~

With his true battle power reaching the Great Grandmaster level, releasing this move with full force, the formidable power unleashed was truly terrifying...

With a deafening sound, Qin Fang's explosive fist force mercilessly struck against Ye Xiang's protective gang qi.

The defense formed by the Xuan Ku Force was extremely powerful but could not withstand, breaking apart under Qin Fang's punch, causing the undamaged fist force to slam into Ye Xiang's protective gang qi.

Ye Xiang didn't expect that Qin Fang still possessed such a pure strength-based move, catching him completely off guard...

By the time he reacted, he was already flying into the air, rapidly moving toward a distant spot, his face filled with disbelief and incredulity...(To be continued.
