Almighty Genius

Chapter 2253 - 1747: Sinister Scheme

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

This one accident was enough to make everyone break out in a cold sweat… if Charlie got killed, then it would be even harder for the rest of them to get out alive.

"Hold on a little longer, Young Master Qin will be back soon…"

Charlie was still a bit shaken, but he forced himself to speak calmly.

"Young Master Qin is back…"

And almost as soon as he finished speaking, someone spotted a Shadow rapidly approaching them—it was Qin Fang.

"He shook off that Bronze Warrior…"

What made Charlie and the others even happier was that there was no Bronze Warrior following beside Qin Fang… that took care of a huge problem! Even if that Bronze Warrior came back soon, they could still use the time gap, enough for them to take that Millennium Stone Milk.

"Leave this to me, you guys go grab the treasure…"

Qin Fang did not go straight for the Millennium Stone Milk. Instead, he first took over this Bronze Warrior from Charlie and the others… with his eye for things, it wasn't hard to see that Charlie and the others were already close to their limit.

If he didn't step in now, a few of them would definitely be slaughtered by the Bronze Warrior…

Qin Fang might be fine no matter what, but Charlie and the others were actually quite capable and efficient. With a few helpers like them, things would be much smoother for him as well! Naturally, he didn't want them to die here for nothing.

Dang dang dang~~

The gun in Qin Fang's hand thrust out with extreme speed, and with a three-hit combo he pulled all the Bronze Warrior's aggro onto himself… the Bronze Warrior swung his Longsword and charged straight at Qin Fang, attacking him with big, sweeping blows.

Maybe because he'd been provoked by Charlie and the others, this guy's iron lump of a head seemed to have gotten a bit smarter; he'd actually learned a few dirty little tricks, forcing Qin Fang to face him head-on with hard clashes.

Ding ding ding~~~

So the gun and the Longsword kept clashing every so often, throwing off showers of sparks… Qin Fang's footsteps retreated again and again, but they were still orderly, without the slightest panic.

Qin Fang and the Bronze Warrior traded blow for blow; neither could gain the upper hand, but neither was losing out either… for a time, they were stuck in a relatively stalemated situation!

"My Strength really is increasing fast…"

Qin Fang was fighting with some difficulty, but it was still within what he could bear, and his Strength seemed to have become a bit stronger than before. At least, when going up against this Bronze Warrior, things were gradually evening out; it was no longer like before, when he couldn't resist at all.

"Hurry up and get the treasure…"

For the moment, Qin Fang had the Bronze Warrior firmly pinned down, so he immediately called out to Charlie and the others to go into the room and get the Millennium Stone Milk.

"Eh~~"

Only, just as Qin Fang had locked down the Bronze Warrior, he suddenly noticed something off—on the minimap, a person was heading their way… and he even looked familiar!

"Gatt!"

Charlie was staying outside this time, ready to cover Qin Fang, while the others went into the Dark Chamber to take the Millennium Stone Milk. But when he noticed Qin Fang's reaction, he instinctively looked in a certain direction and saw the silhouette of a black man—it was their enemy, Gatt.

"This guy is actually still alive…"

The moment he saw him, Charlie muttered reflexively.

The Second Floor of the Underground Palace had been so brutal that plenty of people had probably already died down there, yet this guy was still alive… and he'd even forced his way down to the Third Floor of the Underground Palace, wandering all the way to their doorstep.

"You really refused to walk the road to Heaven, but insist on barging into Hell with no door…"

Charlie had long wanted to take Gatt out; he just hadn't found a good opportunity. Now, with a top expert like Qin Fang here, and with them being on the Third Floor of the Underground Palace, it was naturally a perfect chance… especially since, at this moment, Gatt was actually alone!

"Didn't expect it… you guys were actually hiding here…"

Only, things weren't quite like Charlie imagined. Though Gatt was by himself, when he saw Qin Fang and his group, not only was he not even a little flustered, he actually showed a sinister, gloomy smile.

"Hiss~~"

Gatt's words had just fallen when a figure appeared behind him…

"Bronze Warrior!"

Charlie's face changed instantly. This guy had actually lured back the Bronze Warrior Qin Fang had shaken off…

Why was Charlie so sure this was the one Qin Fang had ditched?

Originally, this Bronze Warrior had seemed to be chasing Gatt, but when it got close to them, it suddenly paused, then turned and ran toward Qin Fang… that was a sign it was returning to its original position.

Qin Fang and the others had already witnessed how powerful these Bronze Warriors were back on the First Level of the Underground Palace, so how could they not know all this?

"Young Master Qin, be careful... this bastard wants to get us killed!"

Seeing Gatt's move, Charlie's face changed completely, and he immediately shouted toward Qin Fang's side... At this point, anyone with eyes could see that once the two Bronze Warriors converged, Qin Fang would have absolutely no way out.

"You're all gonna die... hahahahaha!"

Gatt had completely lost it by now, not even caring about his own safety; the only thing in his head was how to kill Qin Fang and the others...

In terms of individual strength, he was no match for Qin Fang and his group...

As for team strength, he was now alone, while Qin Fang's side still had six people; the gap was even bigger!

Under such a disadvantage, only by borrowing the power of these two Bronze Warriors could he wipe out Charlie and the others... At the very least, he had to take out more than half of them!

"Tony, faster... if you're any slower, something's going to happen!"

Charlie was anxious all over his face. He wanted to rush up and pin down that Bronze Warrior, but the problem was he simply couldn't hold its aggro. So he could only shout at the subordinates inside the Dark Chamber who were collecting treasure.

The Millennium Stone Milk was different from other treasures; it was a liquid similar to water, with every single drop being extremely precious... and very rare in quantity, so collecting it was quite troublesome and much slower than before.

The key point was that this Millennium Stone Milk was mixed with some water. If they wanted to take away the Millennium Stone Milk, they had to separate the water out... which meant they needed to collect it slowly.

If they were careless and did a sloppy job, not only would they waste quite a bit, the collected Millennium Stone Milk might not be pure enough, with a lot of water mixed in, and that would be a huge loss!

"Tony, you guys keep doing your thing, leave this place to me... Charlie, you go in and help too!"

Faced with this situation, Qin Fang was not anxious at all, as if he hadn't even seen the Bronze Warrior getting closer. He actually chose to calm Tony and the others down first, and then sent Charlie inside to help.

"Uh..."

Charlie was stunned, and Gatt on the other side was also dumbfounded. They both stared blankly at Qin Fang, as if they couldn't figure out why he would arrange things like this.

"Since you're so eager to die, that's even better..."

But Gatt quickly reacted, his face twisting viciously as he roared, clearly even happier to see this scene.

"Yes..."

Charlie, on the other hand, after spacing out for a moment and confirming that Qin Fang wasn't joking, dove into the Dark Chamber without hesitation and started helping Tony and the others collect the Millennium Stone Milk.

Ka ka ka ka~~~

The Bronze Warrior quickly charged over toward Qin Fang's side and was just about to form a pincer attack with the other Bronze Warrior, encircling Qin Fang... Once that encirclement formed, Qin Fang would truly be in extreme danger.

"This time, I want to see how you die!"

Seeing Qin Fang hold one Bronze Warrior by himself, Gatt knew that Qin Fang was the core of this team and the most terrifying expert among them.

Back then, in that restaurant at the foot of Danxia Mountain, he had been knocked out by Charlie for no reason, and he'd already felt puzzled... Charlie was absolutely no match for him; even if he'd let his guard down, there was no way Charlie could have knocked him out. Someone else had definitely ambushed him.

Now, Gatt naturally knew who that ambusher was. It had to be this expert who could stand toe-to-toe with a Bronze Warrior.

Among all the experts who had entered the Underground Palace, it seemed that, for now, besides Gagarin having this kind of strength, only Qin Fang did...

"Looks like they must have collected quite a lot of loot already..."

Someone who could tank a Bronze Warrior, and had entered the Third Floor of the Underground Palace much earlier than them—he definitely had a lot of treasure on him. Gatt had given up hope of sharing anything from Gagarin's side, but if he could just pocket all of Qin Fang's gains...

Thinking of this, Gatt's breathing grew much heavier, as if a mountain of gold was waving at him...

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He even ignored the danger here and actually moved closer to Qin Fang's side, planning to charge up and snatch the loot the moment Qin Fang died... even if there were two Bronze Warriors right next to him, he couldn't care less.

"Idiot..."

Faced with this moron blinded by greed, Qin Fang could only curse under his breath.

And right at that moment, that Bronze Warrior had already joined the fray and was charging at Qin Fang...

Wom~~~

But Qin Fang wasn't in a hurry. His wrist trembled lightly, and a pitch-black Shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, just barely blocking that Bronze Warrior's advance!

Clang~!!

Even more brutal, the moment that Shadow appeared, it swung its fist and smashed it hard into the Bronze Warrior's chest! A deafening bang rang out, so loud it felt like it would shatter everyone's eardrums.

Other than Qin Fang himself, almost everyone present was startled into a shiver by this sudden explosion of sound... (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to go to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
