"Get ready, don't expose yourselves..."

Qin Fang had long planned for this, but he didn't want to waste so much time before, which was why he had to delay. But now... Qin Fang wasn't in a hurry to enter the Fourth Layer of the Underground Palace, so he decided to revisit his previous plan.

Moreover, Qin Fang obtained three treasures from Gagarin, all very precious items... Even though he has quite a few treasures, the only one that can truly be considered top-notch is the Azure Dragon Pill.

Gagarin had an advantage due to his special identity, but it also somewhat illustrates the preciousness of the Third Floor of the Underground Palace's treasures.

Since Qin Fang had gained so much from Gagarin, it's inevitable that others also obtained very precious treasures. If Qin Fang doesn't seize these items, it would be a shame to miss such a good opportunity.

Just as Qin Fang planned to send Charlie and the others away, it made sense to rob them ahead of time, making the best use of the good resources, and it could thoroughly muddy the waters.

Speaking of which, Qin Fang took out a black face cloth from his pocket and covered his face with it, which was a simple disguise.

Charlie and the others followed suit, though they didn't have face cloths, they had various face paints and randomly painted their faces and bodies, making them hard to recognize.

"Let's go..."

With Qin Fang's command, Charlie and the others immediately followed Qin Fang's footsteps and began sweeping through the Third Floor of the Underground Palace.

Qin Fang had a small map for assistance, allowing him to easily determine the positions of potential robbery targets and the team's strength composition... Even choosing the robbing route was easy, and the hiding spot was already selected.

Not far from the Triple Life-and-Death Gates, Qin Fang and his team of six hid in a corner shadow, where a team of around ten was approaching them... Judging by their pace, these people seemed to be fleeing from someone or something.

"It's you guys..."

Qin Fang studied their condition and noticed many were injured, and their life status wasn't particularly good, indicating they had just fought a battle. Whether it was other teams chasing them or the Bronze Warriors, couldn't be determined.

But at least this group was well-composed, indicating the pursuers hadn't succeeded… Qin Fang and his team wouldn't show any mercy!

The most crucial point was that most members in this team were quite strong, not weaker than Charlie, and even had two Grandmaster-level experts, making them relatively formidable...

But unfortunately, such a team faced Qin Fang's group... they were bound to be crushed.

"Fuck! That damn De Rossi... if there's a chance, I'll tear him to shreds!"

Just as Qin Fang and his team settled in, they saw a group rapidly approaching them. Perhaps in their haste, they didn't notice Qin Fang and his team's presence... but they faintly heard someone's furious curses.

"It's Blood-Hand Erland..."

Upon hearing the voice, Charlie whispered to Qin Fang.

Blood-Hand Erland was somewhat famous in the Underground World, and Qin Fang had heard of him.

This person's entire skillset was in his hands, having torn apart dozens of fairly strong experts, despite his fair skin, he had dark red palms, rumored to be stained by the blood of those he killed.

Though this is likely an exaggerated rumor, Blood-Hand Erland's prowess was substantial, being one of only two Grandmaster-level experts in the opposing camp, and a co-leader of this team.

Regarding De Rossi mentioned by him, Qin Fang was aware...

Ghost Sword De Rossi, an extremely violent old man, mastered Western Sword Techniques commendably. Unlike Dragon Country swordsmanship, unable to unleash Sword Qi, but Western Sword Techniques are eccentric and cunning, adhering to the one-strike kill philosophy; a formidable character.

With these two together, Ghost Sword De Rossi had a clear advantage; no wonder Blood-Hand Erland was livid! Bare-handed versus weapons inherently suffer some disadvantage...

"Attack!"

However, Qin Fang didn't care about their backgrounds, whether Blood-Hand Erland or Ghost Sword De Rossi, if they crossed paths with him, he treated all equally... rob first, talk later.

"Who's there?"

Just when Qin Fang ordered the attack, the other side seemed alerted, instinctively exclaimed, and immediately took defense.

"This road was paved by me..."

Before the crew could react, Qin Fang and others burst from the corner, with Charlie shouting... However, the statement caused Qin Fang's face to turn black.

Although they came to rob, Qin Fang planned to act low-key, grab the loot and leave immediately... But he didn't expect Charlie to be so high-profile, coming out with such a powerful "slogan," which made Qin Fang feel quite embarrassed.

In my impression, this phrase is indeed what bandits love to say during a robbery, but usually, the bandits who say this... end up getting severely beaten by the protagonist.

"Who taught you to say that?"

Even if Qin Fang didn't want to gossip, he couldn't help but ask at this moment.

"Learned it from TV shows..."

Charlie said with great embarrassment, knowing from Qin Fang's tone that he'd done something foolish.

As it turned out, ever since they were recruited by Qin Fang, aside from carrying out tasks and gathering information, they would watch TV shows in their spare time, inadvertently learning these rather peculiar Martial World code words.

They are all mercenaries, technically each a criminal, so naturally, they wouldn't shy away from this; they learned this quite fluently... they just didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

And the pitiable target, however, turned out to be their former partners, the mercenaries of Hand of the Demon...

"Hahaha..."

Qin Fang felt embarrassed but let it go, yet the Blood Hand Eiland and his men, after a momentary pause, all burst into loud laughter, with some even clutching their stomachs.

"Laugh! Laugh your ass off... You'll be crying soon enough!"

Their unabashed laughter made Charlie feel extremely embarrassed too, prompting him to roar in anger. If not for Qin Fang not having given the order to attack, he would've wanted to charge forward and dismantle them already.

However, this situation caused Qin Fang to show a hint of a smile in his eyes, as if he suddenly had a nasty idea.

"Why so much chatter? Just make your move..."

But Qin Fang didn't say much, instead giving a straightforward order.

At the same time, Qin Fang was the first to strike, heading straight for the two Grandmaster-level experts on the other side.

"There's an expert among them! Attack now!"

Blood Hand Eiland and the other Grandmaster-level expert hadn't really taken Charlie and the others seriously, but seeing the speed of Qin Fang's attack, their eyes revealed a hint of shock, and they immediately gave the order.

Thud, thud~~~

However, this Blood Hand Eiland, who had some small fame in the Underground World, only had the chance to utter a sentence before being taken down directly by the approaching Qin Fang... like a piece of wood, he fell straight to the ground.

The worst part was that he fell face down... the ground being hard stone, his tall hooked nose changed shape upon impact!

Excruciating pain coursed through his body, his nasal bone seemed fractured, but intriguingly, his body couldn't move at all, not even to touch his nose!

As for his fellow Grandmaster-level compatriot, he was only slightly better, lying on his back and just as immobile but at least not suffering major loss...

Qin Fang's action immediately intimidated the entire opposing group...

The mercenaries who were ready to fight a life-and-death battle with Charlie and others momentarily stared blankly at their fallen "Boss," forgetting they were in the midst of a fierce battle, and within seconds, Charlie's team knocked down four or five more!

The remaining two or three also quickly became obedient... looking at Qin Fang and his team with an expression of deep reverence.

"Don't worry, we're here for money, not for your lives..."

Qin Fang didn't bother with those remaining, instead starting to search the bodies of Blood Hand Eiland and his companion... The point of robbing these people, in essence, was to obtain the treasure they had managed to secure.

As for their lives, there wasn't much point in taking them; keeping them alive might serve some purpose!

"Got the stuff, retreat!"

Quickly, Qin Fang retrieved a parchment-like object from Blood Hand Eiland, glanced at it briefly, noticing some herbal names recorded on it, seemingly a kind of prescription or something.

Although not yet sure of its true value, Qin Fang knew his mission was accomplished and didn't care about the fate of those people. He immediately gave a command and swiftly led Charlie and the others out from there.

As Qin Fang had just said, they were there to rob, not kill... They took off with the treasure that Blood Hand Eiland and his group had painstakingly fetched from the Dark Chamber on the Third Floor of the Underground Palace without killing any of them!

Overall, from start to finish, it only took a minute or two for Qin Fang and his team to complete the entire heist, a remarkably high efficiency!
