The appearance of the Bloody-handed Demon Tu San made Qin Fang unable to resist calculating. This wicked and overflowing thug actually knew Qinggong. Although it was a defective version, for Qin Fang, it was almost no different from the real thing...
The only unfortunate and helpless thing is that Qin Fang is not currently a match for Tu San. Although the gunfight between the two ended in a draw, Qin Fang knew he had lost!
These are side issues, and there will be more opportunities for Qin Fang with Qinggong later. There is no rush. The main focus now is how to escape from this water prison, which is virtually a dead end, and this is what Qin Fang has to worry about now.
At the sa ti, it's also sothing Ruan Yingxiu is very concerned about!
Although she almost completely doesn't believe Qin Fang can escape, seeing Qin Fang's confident deanor filled her with a sense of anticipation.
After all... no one alive and well wants to die so inexplicably and unjustly!
"Watch carefully..."
Noticing Ruan Yingxiu's expression, Qin Fang showed a slight, calm smile. Then he raised a hand that had been subrged underwater, which should have been empty, but surprisingly held sothing... sothing that appeared to be a crossbow.
Indeed, it was a crossbow!
And it appeared to be a specially made crossbow, the kind even Anlang's army didn't have! At a glance, anyone could see it was standard issue for rcenaries!
"How did you bring it in?"
Ruan Yingxiu was shocked, utterly unable to fathom how Qin Fang had managed to get such a thing. She had been thrown into the water prison earlier than Qin Fang and had personally watched as her brother Ruan Youlin threw Qin Fang in.
Before Qin Fang was thrown in, Ruan Youlin had specifically ordered soone to search Qin Fang. Sothing as large as a crossbow couldn't possibly go unnoticed unless all ten-plus people present were blind!
"Hehe, a wise man has his own plans..."
Faced with Ruan Beauty's puzzle, Qin Fang gave a mysterious smile, nonchalantly expressing himself, then raised the crossbow in his hand and aid it at the hole above before pulling the trigger.
Swish~~
A sound was heard as the arrow was quickly ejected and accurately shot through the small hole in the iron grate above.
At the sa ti, Ruan Yingxiu clearly noticed that the arrow Qin Fang shot had a very thin cord bound to it, appearing to be a very soft fine steel cable!
Thud~~
Almost right after the arrow passed through the small hole, its head suddenly opened like a hidden weapon from the Tang Sect, forming an umbrella-shaped head.
Qin Fang pulled it gently, and the arrowhead was imdiately tugged back, landing steady and securely on the iron grate, making a crisp "ding" sound.
Having done all this, Qin Fang did not rush into action but took a mont to listen intently.
It was quiet all around, seemingly devoid of any guards, which allowed Qin Fang to slightly relax.
"Done..."
Reaching this point, Qin Fang finally relaxed a bit, waved his arm slightly as if cheering for himself, but the lone audience Ruan Yingxiu seed oblivious to this, leaving Qin Fang to appreciate his work alone.
"Beauty, are you coming up with , or should I pull you up after I've gone out... Or do you want to stay here?"
Having completed the preparations, Qin Fang finally glanced back at the utterly dumbfounded Ruan Yingxiu, teasing her nonchalantly.
"I... I'm going with you!"
Ruan Yingxiu almost instinctively wanted to refuse, but at the thought of the eerie, dark, humid, cold water prison, her heart filled with dread, and she imdiately expressed her decision.
To demonstrate her resolve, Ruan Beauty directly moved in front of Qin Fang, wrapped her arms around Qin Fang's waist, and pressed her shapely body close.
"Damn, do you have to do it like this..."
But her action was rather savage. Her soaked clothes, already sparse, clung completely to her body, making her appear almost naked as she pressed against Qin Fang.
Qin Fang, a young man in the pri of his blood, could not possibly remain unaffected by such a hot body clinging tightly to him.
However, at this mont, Ruan Yingxiu seed terrified of the enclosed environnt and didn't want to stay a second longer.
There was no helping it; with Qin Fang around, she at least had soone to talk to and wouldn't feel so afraid and anxious.
But if Qin Fang left, she'd be alone and doubted she could endure for long... It was just like the military's black room; staying too long would cause anyone to break down.
"Fine, you win..."
Yet Qin Fang knew it was impossible to reason with Ruan Yingxiu at such a mont. Anyway, despite the substantial impact, he wasn't exactly the one losing out, and since Ruan Yingxiu herself didn't seem to mind, why should he, a man, care?
"Hold tight..."
Before taking action, Qin Fang softly whispered a reminder to Ruan Yingxiu clinging tightly behind him, feeling her arms tighten even more around his waist, and their bodies beca even more tightly pressed, even the nub of a small grape on her chest was now noticeable against his back.
"Let's go..."
Setting aside irrelevant thoughts, Qin Fang gave a little push with his hand, and the thin cord began to retract automatically, instantly lifting Qin Fang and Ruan Yingxiu towards the over two-ter-high exit.
This special crossbow made by rcenaries had an automatic retractable feature, very advanced in its functionality, and was one of the spoils Qin Fang had acquired from the Hand of the Demon.
As the world's largest arms dealer, the rcenary Alliance itself possessed many advanced weapons rarely seen on the market, and as one of its cores, the Hand of the Demon naturally also had plenty of such weapons.
Qin Fang's crossbow was just one of the ordinary types, and Qin Fang had kept it for its utility, not expecting it to be useful so soon.
The rope did not retract particularly fast, but neither was it slow. Even with over two hundred catties of weight, it seed to bear it effortlessly.
Seeing they were about to crash into the iron grate, Ruan Yingxiu almost scread, but Qin Fang, agile as a monkey, easily extended a hand through a space in the grate, grabbed it firmly, and suspended himself and Ruan Yingxiu with just one hand.
Bang~~
The steel grate was just for show because it was known that the prisoners in the water prison couldn't escape, so it was just placed simply, like a manhole cover.
Qin Fang suddenly punched, sending the 30 to 40 catties heavy grate flying up, granting Qin Fang and Ruan Yingxiu instant freedom...
With the grate gone, the only obstacle naturally also vanished.
Qin Fang wasn't going to miss such an opportunity, so he extended his arm slightly, grabbed Ruan Yingxiu by one arm, and swung her out.
Then he flipped his own body, easily squeezing through the exit, even having ti to catch the grate that was about to fall, preventing it from hitting the ground and causing a loud noise that could alert potential trouble...(To be continued.
