…
"Are you really … confident?"
Hearing Qin Fang say this, Tang Xin couldn't help but stare at Qin Fang, and then asked with uncertainty.
"I might not be 100% confident, but I'm at least 70% confident …"
Qin Fang was a little surprised, but he couldn't help but remind her.
Ever since he stepped into this underground world where the strong were respected, Qin Fang's goal had been to improve step by step. He didn't just have a blood feud on his shoulders, he also had a very difficult mission to become the King of Assassins.
To become such a supreme existence, he had to step on countless corpses and step onto that blood-stained throne … Then, Qin Fang had to face one after another powerful and terrifying experts.
At the same time, Qin Fang was only one step away from the Supreme Realm.
Perhaps he didn't have a bottleneck in his advancement, but slowly accumulating through time wasn't a method that Qin Fang was willing to choose … Perhaps it was very safe and easy, but for Qin Fang who was pressed for time, it was really too slow.
There weren't many ways to reach an extremely high level as soon as possible!
But there was one way that Qin Fang could do, and it was very effective … Continuously challenging experts who were much stronger than him!
Qin Fang himself was already at the peak of the Great Grandmaster level, and his strength was already invincible below the Supreme Realm. Even a half-step Supreme Realm expert wasn't his opponent, so only a Supreme Realm expert could make him feel threatened.
Only a life and death battle could bring about the most effective improvement … Perhaps there were some ordinary exchanges, but the effect was obviously much worse.
As for a life and death battle, firstly, there wasn't a suitable opportunity, and secondly, there wasn't any guarantee of one's life … Qin Fang naturally didn't give it his all. Even when he killed Barbosi, it was after the silver-footed kitten had seriously injured Barbosi. The effect was far better than killing a real Supreme Realm expert.
This was also one of the reasons why Qin Fang was so excited after discovering Tang Tianlin …
Of course, more importantly, it was to make the Tang Sect feel distressed and avenge Tang Xin!
"More than seventy percent …"
Tang Xin also hesitated. She guessed that Qin Fang wasn't joking. She also guessed that Qin Fang must have some unknown tricks up his sleeves since he dared to venture into the Poison Dragon Cave. However, she never thought that Qin Fang would be so confident in killing a Venerable Realm expert.
"How about … we give it a try?"
At this moment, Tang Xin was clearly tempted.
"According to what I know, the Sovereign expert guarding the Poison Dragon Cave should be the Supreme Elder, Tang Tianlin. He possesses a treasure of the Tang Sect. Although it's not comparable to an Ancestral Divine Artifact, it's only slightly inferior. It was passed down from the Tang Sect's fourth generation ancestor."
Tang Xin gave a simple explanation to Qin Fang when she noticed the strange expression on Qin Fang's face. This was a secret of the Tang Sect that wasn't passed down to outsiders. It was likely that only the core disciples of the Tang Sect and above knew about it. The outer disciples had no chance of knowing about it.
Although Tang Xin had betrayed the Tang Sect, she used to be one of the best of the younger generation in the Tang Sect. She was also a genius ranked in the top ten. She was nurtured as a genius comparable to the direct disciples. Naturally, she knew some secrets that others didn't know about.
Among them, was the matter of Tang Tianlin!
"There's such a treasure?"
Qin Fang was also slightly stunned. He didn't quite believe it. "And it's in Tang Tianlin's hands …"
Although the Tang Sect had been passed down for a thousand years, its overall strength wasn't particularly outstanding. It was slightly weaker than the five great sects …
However, top-notch treasures like Ancestral Divine Artifacts were relatively rare. The five great sects only had two of them. The Heretical Sect and the Devil Sect each had one. This was because the forces of these sects were very large. They were much larger than the Tang Sect.
Therefore, the fact that the Tang Sect didn't have any Ancestral Divine Artifacts had been proven a long time ago.
Therefore, a treasure that was second only to Ancestral Divine Artifacts should be the most precious treasure in the Tang Sect … This kind of "Ancestral Divine Artifact" was usually in the hands of the sect leader. In other words, it should have fallen into Tang Ao's hands.
However, the Tang Sect didn't. Instead, it had fallen into Tang Tianlin's hands … Qin Fang didn't quite dare to believe it.
"It's said that this is a rule set by the fourth generation ancestor. The sect leader controls the Tang Sect, but this' Ancestral Divine Artifact 'must be in the hands of the Venomous Dragon Cave's Supreme Elder … Although the other Supreme Elders also have a lot of authority, they can move about freely outside!
Only the Supreme Elders who guard the Venomous Dragon Cave are not allowed to leave for the rest of their lives!
Furthermore, these Supreme Elders must be childless … "Tang Xin explained in detail.
It could be said that this was the Tang Sect's "ancestral teachings". Although it sounded rather strange, Qin Fang slowly began to understand it. "It should be to prevent the Ancestral Divine Artifact from falling into the wrong hands …"
"Since that's the case … let's go all out!"
Originally, Qin Fang was already about to give up. However, after Tang Xin's reminder, Qin Fang immediately became interested. Tang Tianlin wasn't too far away from them. If they rushed over now, they could cut off his path of retreat!
"I'll listen to you …"
Of course, Tang Xin wouldn't reject him. She immediately agreed with a smile.
Hence, she immediately turned around and rushed back …
"Those few half-step Supremes … should we kill them together?"
When Qin Fang and the rest returned to the fork in the road, those few half-step Supremes happened to be pacing back and forth in the distance. Although they couldn't discover Qin Fang, Qin Fang could clearly detect them.
Qin Fang couldn't help but feel a little itchy to kill them …
"Forget it, there's no point in killing them …"
However, considering that doing so would definitely cause quite a commotion, it was highly likely that Tang Tianlin would be attracted … If that was the case, there might be an element of uncertainty in Qin Fang's plan to kill Tang Tianlin.
Hence, Qin Fang didn't even bother to look at those half-step Supremes. He quietly slipped under their noses and entered the fork in the road where Tang Tianlin was …
After about four hundred meters, he was already very close to Tang Tianlin and far enough away from those half-step Supremes. Qin Fang also put Tang Xin down!
"Stay here and wait for me … Don't go forward, it's quite dangerous!
Take these pills as backup, they should be enough to last until I come back! "
Qin Fang didn't intend to bring Tang Xin to the battlefield!
When fighting against Supremes, even Qin Fang was risking his own life. If he wasn't careful, he might get himself implicated … However, he had prepared quite a number of backup plans this time, it wasn't a big problem for him to protect himself!
However, if Tang Xin followed along, it would be hard to say!
If Tang Tianlin was forced into a corner, he would definitely use his ultimate move … Regardless of whether it was Qin Fang or the other Supremes, they couldn't be considered as weaknesses. Only Tang Xin would be the biggest breakthrough point, and it would be very easy for Tang Tianlin to grab hold of her.
If she stayed here, Qin Fang would block the path in front, then Tang Xin wouldn't be affected by the aftermath of the battle …
At the same time, even if the half-step Supremes behind him knew that Tang Tianlin was in danger, they would at most hold their breath and charge forward for two hundred meters before they would have to retreat … Otherwise, with their strength, they wouldn't be able to withstand the poisonous gas in the air!
Qin Fang had already detected that this poisonous gas was somewhat similar to the Shadowless Poison, which was more famous in the martial arts world … In other words, the Shadowless Poison could be concocted using this poisonous gas.
This poisonous gas wasn't spread through breathing. Similarly, skin contact, breathing through pores, and so on were all channels of infection …
"Then you be careful …"
Tang Xin nodded her head obediently, but she still reminded him worriedly.
After a moment of silence, Tang Xin added, "If you can't do it, then you have to prioritize your own safety … If you really can't withstand it, then you can continue to go deeper into the Poisonous Dragon Cave, don't worry about me!"
"Silly girl …"
Hearing Tang Xin's words, Qin Fang was quite touched, and hugged Tang Xin tightly in his arms … "How could I leave you behind?
Even if I die, I'll die with you! "
"Don't …"
Tang Xin's face tightened, and she immediately covered Qin Fang's mouth, not allowing him to continue speaking. Even if these words of love filled her heart to the brim, she didn't want anything to happen to Qin Fang.
"Alright!
I can guarantee you that this kind of thing won't happen … Even if someone dies, it'll be Tang Tianlin, not me! "
Qin Fang gently kissed Tang Xin's forehead, and said with a smile.
"Wait here for my triumphant return …"
Then, he settled Tang Xin down, and with a wave of his hand, a greenish-black puppet appeared beside Tang Xin out of thin air. "Don't be afraid, this is what I left for you … With it, even a half-step Supremes won't be able to hurt you!"
Against a Supremes, the puppet's attack might be useful, but its defense wasn't very reliable …
After thinking about it, Qin Fang still decided to throw the puppet to Tang Xin!
Anyway, when Qin Fang was scheming against Tang Tianlin, there were still four masters of the Supreme Realm on his side, excluding himself and Carlos, the two masters of the Half-step Supreme Realm … Four against one, he basically had an absolute advantage.
It didn't matter whether they had the puppet or not …
What's more, it was not easy to fight in such a narrow cave. The puppet's body blocked the cave, and it could easily block the attacks of other experts … While it had plenty of attack power, it could not adapt quickly enough, and it could easily be more of a hindrance than a help.
Rather than adding to the chaos at the crucial moment, it was better to not let it participate from the beginning …
