The one with the weakest strength is directly ignored by Qin Fang, basically taken down with a single strike. The ones that truly concern Qin Fang are Sasaki and the master-level peak expert who hasn't made a sound all along.
Although Sasaki's strength is still a certain distance from Qin Fang's, the fact that he can detect Qin Fang's hidden presence indicates that he possesses considerable skills, making him a person Qin Fang must be wary of.
As for the master-level peak expert, there's no need to even ntion it. His re strength already speaks volus, not to ntion that he has always stood aside with his head down, eyes closed, simply holding onto his sword.
This is a swordsman, a master who is focused on the martial way. From the mont Qin Fang saw him, he had this feeling.
Such people are the hardest to deal with, just like the junior brother of Kondo Ryota that Qin Fang dispatched not long ago. Even though he hadn't stepped into the grandmaster level, he already possessed grandmaster-level combat power.
The swordsman in front of him now is much more formidable than the previous one, having reached the master level peak. Coupled with his focus on the sword, his strength is exceptionally terrifying.
Perhaps he still can't quite match up to the grandmaster-level Bloody-handed Demon Tu San, but he may not be far off either…
Xu Ling and Mr. Tanaka were huddled in the corner, whispering about sothing. Qin Fang wanted to move in that direction, but the three master-level experts were watching like hawks, blocking the way, causing Qin Fang to frown uncontrollably.
Although his stealth skill was extrely effective, the three grandmaster-level experts were not to be underestimated. Not to ntion the master-level peak expert nad Nakano; just Sasaki, who was constantly scrutinizing the surroundings with his shifty eyes, was enough to give Qin Fang a headache.
"Let's do it..."
Qin Fang ca here to collect evidence against Xu Ling. At this mont, Xu Ling was negotiating a cooperation with Mr. Tanaka. If he passed up this chance, it would be difficult to find another opportunity like this in the future.
Gritting his teeth, Qin Fang cautiously moved toward Xu Ling, trying to avoid the biggest threats, Sasaki and Nakano, aiming to break through the opponent's defensive circle from the weakest point and get closer to Xu Ling.
Qin Fang moved very slowly and lightly, his breath continuously suppressed, even his heart rate slowed considerably. Feeling the rhythm of the breeze, he gently stepped forward, slowly piercing through the wall of people, drawing closer to Xu Ling.
"This absolutely won't do... at most, I can provide you with so information on the military force configuration for this joint exercise!"
As Qin Fang approached, this was the first sentence he heard, seemingly spoken with firm resolve by Xu Ling, with a slightly raised voice that was just clear enough for Qin Fang to understand.
"Uh..."
Qin Fang didn't catch the earlier parts of the conversation, which was a bit disappointing, but upon hearing this, he was startled.
As for what the joint exercise referred to, Qin Fang wasn't very clear, but since Xu Ling could offer it, it surely pertained to the Dragon Country. This related to military force configuration information, which was extrely confidential.
Leaking such information is practically akin to treason…
Therefore, when Qin Fang heard this, he was quite shocked.
And this was only Xu Ling's compromise condition after not reaching an agreent with Mr. Tanaka, which also hints at how outrageous Mr. Tanaka's initial terms must have been.
Qin Fang didn't know the nature of the cooperation between the two parties, but just this one sentence was enough to indicate that the matter they were entangled in was an act of treason.
Though Qin Fang was just an ordinary commoner and not typically involved in such national affairs, once he'd overheard this, despite his disdain for the actions of so officials in this country, he couldn't suppress his rising anger against such treacherous acts.
Clang~~
As soon as his emotions slightly agitated, a clear sound of a long sword being drawn ca from behind. Qin Fang imdiately felt a chilling cold spread across his back, a cold intent of killing piercing through.
The one who attacked was still Sasaki. His katana was turned into a cold, sharp light, slashing straight at Qin Fang's back.
The speed was extrely fast, almost like lightning. Given the sharpness of the katana, if it landed, Qin Fang couldn't escape its grasp; even if he didn't die, he would be gravely injured!
"Damn it, so annoying..."
This Sasaki was indeed quite troubleso for Qin Fang. He hadn't encountered him before, but now, at this critical mont, he was disrupting Qin Fang's plans again.
Qin Fang muttered a complaint in his heart, but his body moved quickly. He had no intention of being wounded by Sasaki, a person whose strength was far inferior to his own.
"Hm?"
However, Qin Fang's movent, while necessary, imdiately drew an even stronger murderous intent, and this ti, it wasn't from Sasaki, but shockingly, from Nakano, a Master Level Peak!
It was evident that Nakano might not have had the sa ability as Sasaki to detect Qin Fang, but Qin Fang's sudden rapid movent altered the air currents dramatically, and even while still in a stealth state, he could avoid Sasaki's attack yet was unable to escape Nakano's perception.
Nakano had yet to move, but a murderous intent instantly locked onto Qin Fang's body, and this intense sense of crisis caused Qin Fang's expression to change slightly.
Being at the sa Grandmaster Level peak, Qin Fang wasn't actually afraid of Nakano; it was just that the strength the latter displayed was indeed at a level that even Qin Fang had to be wary of.
"Damn it…"
Facing Sasaki's attack, Qin Fang could rely on his movent technique advantage to easily dodge away, basically ignoring Sasaki's existence.
But with Nakano's involvent now, Qin Fang visibly wasn't in a good mood, almost wanting to curse, but he couldn't worry about that right now, so he moved again, pushing his Traceless Snow Stepping Technique to the limit, rapidly charging forward.
Nakano was already wielding his longsword by then, and if Qin Fang didn't dodge, he might have to face Sasaki and Nakano's blades barehanded.
Yet with such intense movent, Qin Fang's stealth skill couldn't be maintained, and he imdiately erged from the darkness.
"Hmm?"
The sudden commotion caught Xu Ling and Tanaka by surprise, causing them to glance over there.
At this mont, Qin Fang was forced into revealing himself from the darkness, and in the dim light, they could vaguely see him.
"Qin Fang…"
Seeing Qin Fang reveal himself, Xu Ling's expression changed dramatically, obviously unexpected to encounter Qin Fang at this mont.
Moreover, what Xu Ling didn't expect was that Qin Fang was so close that everything Xu Ling discussed with Tanaka would have naturally reached Qin Fang's ears.
"Mr. Tanaka, we absolutely cannot let him escape… Otherwise, our cooperation is imdiately off!"
But Xu Ling, being the top third generation of the Xu Family, quickly cald down and imdiately inford the old Tanaka.
It seed that this cooperation between the Xu Family and Japan was crucial for Xu Ling and equally significant for the Japanese, or Xu Ling wouldn't have used it so decisively as a bargaining chip.
Xu Ling didn't know how much Qin Fang overheard, but even if just a tidbit were leaked, not only he himself would have to face a fiasco, but the family behind him would also be plunged into a state of endless perdition.
Thus, at this mont, Xu Ling had no rcy, only thinking to eliminate Qin Fang, which might cause him so trouble, but it was nothing compared to the terrifying alternative.
"Nakano, kill him…"
Tanaka, such a decisive person, upon hearing Xu Ling's words and seeing Xu Ling's drastic change in expression, understood the gravity of the situation.
Though he didn't know Qin Fang's true identity, at this juncture, to ensure smooth cooperation, even if Qin Fang were a child of so major figure, he wouldn't hesitate a bit.
So, upon Xu Ling's words, Tanaka imdiately ordered Nakano, who was about to take action, intending to end Qin Fang's life straight away!
"Xu Ling, you think these Japanese weaklings can claim my life... Are you sure you're not dreaming?"
Since Qin Fang had already revealed himself, he knew there was no need for stealth anymore, and looking at Xu Ling's ghastly and terrible face, Qin Fang imdiately spoke with a teasing tone.
Fully employing the Traceless Snow Stepping Technique, Sasaki's katana brushed past Qin Fang's body without even grazing a corner of his clothing.
At the sa ti, Nakano, as well as the weakest, Arai, imdiately made their moves...
The three Grandmaster-level experts tead up to attack Qin Fang, with one being a master-level swordsman as powerful as Qin Fang, Nakano, almost imdiately plunging Qin Fang into endless danger.
Don't be fooled by Qin Fang's relaxed deanor; while he seed to dodge quite comfortably, he had no chance to retaliate, as each ti he attempted to strike back, soone would quickly interrupt, not only cutting off Qin Fang's chance for counterattack but also forcing Qin Fang on the defensive again!
"Qin Fang, don't be overconfident… These three are quite renowned martial arts experts from Japan! Even if you hadn't appeared today, I was planning to have them kill you…"
"But since you've walked into your deathtrap yourself, it saves quite a bit of trouble, kill him!"
Confronted with Qin Fang's taunts, Xu Ling's face twisted into a cruel smile; whether he had planned to have soone kill Qin Fang earlier, no one will know, but now he certainly couldn't allow Qin Fang to escape alive!
