Chapter 2096 - 1597: Escaping with Cunning

Second update, requesting subscriptions and monthly votes~~~...

The strength of Great Grandmaster Peak Expert, Yang Tianlin, is even more terrifying than Wu Liang, the deputy head of the Law Enforcement Team—it's far more terrifying…

As the Family Head of the Yang Family, one of the Thousand Gate's Five Great Families, his achievements in martial arts are impressive, and his accomplishments in the Thousand Gate's unique skills are equally astounding.

At least, Qin Fang did some reconnaissance and discovered that Yang Tianlin's Cheating Skills are at a Grandmaster-level standard, not inferior to his own.

However, Yang Tianlin is a genuine Grandmaster of Qianmen, while Qin Fang's Grandmaster status has the cheating factor of the Qianji Ring involved.

An expert whose martial arts have reached the Great Grandmaster Peak Level, with cheating skills at a Grandmaster-level, is undoubtedly a top-tier expert among top-tier experts…

Qin Fang even speculates that Yang Tianlin's combat prowess could be comparable to a typical Paramount Realm Expert.

Of course, Qin Fang hasn't encountered a Supreme Realm Expert yet… theoretically such experts should exist, but unfortunately, he hasn't met one yet.

Qin Fang is lurking on the stone wall at the top of this passage, completely blending into it, using Acupuncture Techniques to conceal his aura, entering a semi-Turtle Breathing State to minimize everything.

Yang Tianlin's strength is simply too formidable; without such measures, it's hard to evade Yang Tianlin's perception… even with them, Qin Fang doesn't have much confidence!

Yang Tianlin walked steadily along the passage towards the Treasure Repository, calmly bypassing the traps as if walking on level ground.

Qin Fang clung to the top, motionless like a dead person, waiting for Yang Tianlin to pass beneath.

Five meters… three meters… one meter… passed!

Qin Fang's efforts paid off, as Yang Tianlin seemed unaware of his presence, walking right past Qin Fang and continuing forward.

"Hmm?"

Just a few meters past, Yang Tianlin suddenly halted, emitting a sound through his nose.

Then…

Yang Tianlin extended his hand, releasing a torrent of palm energy, rapidly aiming at Qin Fang's hidden location.

"Damn it! I've been exposed..."

Feeling the overwhelming palm energy coming his way, Qin Fang couldn't remain hidden any longer, cursing inwardly as he moved swiftly towards the passage exit, reaching maximum speed…

Boom~~

The swipe from the Great Grandmaster Peak Expert, though casual, was tremendously terrifying, striking the stone wall's top, causing the entire passage to quiver as if ready to collapse…

However, the passage was evidently strong and solid; despite seeming to tremble fiercely, it held firm… If not, Yang Tianlin wouldn't have dared to strike so hard.

But Qin Fang was indifferent; with a Great Grandmaster Peak Expert hot on his heels, there's no time to dawdle.

Previously, even a Great Grandmaster Late-Stage Wu Liang almost forced the father-son duo into a corner, let alone the much stronger Yang Tianlin.

"Trying to run? Hmph..."

Yang Tianlin was surprised someone was hidden in the darkness of the passage, yet perceived some anomaly.

Unexpectedly, his attack revealed someone… His expression changed quickly.

Once Qin Fang surfaced, with his aura clearly released, Yang Tianlin's expression slightly improved.

Such a mere Grandmaster-level expert is hardly a threat to him… even though Qin Fang was close to reaching the passage exit, Yang Tianlin wasn't particularly worried.

Escaping from a Great Grandmaster Peak Expert is akin to climbing the skies… Qin Fang is now facing this challenge!

In a flash, Yang Tianlin moved, transforming into a shadow, swiftly pursuing Qin Fang.

"Damned freaks..."

The closer he came to these Great Grandmaster experts, the more Qin Fang realized his own weakness… Though he had time to improve, he must first survive this ordeal.

Whoosh~~

Qin Fang sprinted from the passage at high speed, entered Yang Tianlin's study, and abruptly crashed through the wooden window into the courtyard beyond, twisting his body and scaling a wall into another yard.

Yang Tianlin was barely slower, pursuing Qin Fang at even greater speed.

Though Qin Fang moved slightly sooner, his speed wasn't as fast as Yang Tianlin's, and with experts everywhere in the Yang Family's estate, Qin Fang had limited choices despite his haste…

However, Qin Fang managed to avoid densely packed Yang Family experts, yet Yang Tianlin still narrowed the gap relentlessly.

"Hahaha, Yang Tianlin, you're a damn fool... I deliberately lured you out, and our people are going to empty your treasury..."

Seeing that he was almost cornered, Qin Fang laughed wildly, even fiercely swearing at Yang Tianlin.

"Huh?"

Yang Tianlin paused slightly, seemingly shocked by Qin Fang's words, "My Yang Family's treasury has so many layers of protection that no ordinary person can open it... Trying to deceive me, you're still far from it!"

Clearly, Yang Tianlin was not so easily fooled, he had great confidence in his family's treasury, and naturally didn't believe Qin Fang's words.

"Don't believe me? Then let me show you something..."

Immediately, Qin Fang took out something directly from the Props Box and quickly tossed it towards Yang Tianlin, "See if it belongs to your treasury..."

Seeing the shadow thrown by Qin Fang, Yang Tianlin gently extended his wrist and caught the item, glancing briefly at it, his complexion changed dramatically.

Undoubtedly, the item thrown by Qin Fang was indeed a treasure from the Yang Family Treasury, one that Yang Tianlin personally placed inside.

If Yang Tianlin remembered correctly, this treasure in his hand was stored just half a month ago, and hadn't been moved since.

But now... it's in Qin Fang's hands!

Something really happened...

Yang Tianlin wasn't a fool, if he initially didn't believe Qin Fang's words, thinking the Yang Family Treasury's defenses were sufficient to thwart those thieves, now he wasn't so sure.

In fact... he already realized that the Yang family's treasury had been robbed! And the Qin Fang before him was one of the treasure thieves...

"Damn it!"

As soon as he thought of this, Yang Tianlin burst into rage, his aura suddenly erupted, revealing the Great Grandmaster Peak level cultivation.

"Die for me..."

Fearing prolonged dreams, Yang Tianlin unleashed a killer move against Qin Fang, the terrifying palm energy came crashing down like an overwhelming force, sealing off all escape routes for Qin Fang almost instantly.

Nowhere to escape...

Qin Fang quickly concluded that with his cultivation, he couldn't possibly block Yang Tianlin's wild palm... and Yang Tianlin's intent was clearly to kill him directly, then return to deal with the other treasure thieves.

Boom~~

Facing such an unavoidable palm, Qin Fang simply stood still, allowing that palm to strike him ferociously.

Poof~~

Qin Fang's body was like being hit by a ten-thousand-pound hammer, fiercely knocked from where he stood, flying dozens of meters in the air before crashing heavily onto the ground.

That mouthful of blood also sprayed dozens of meters through the air before landing on the ground...

"Hmph, overestimating oneself..."

Yang Tianlin, clearly expecting this outcome, didn't even have the mood to give Qin Fang another glance, quickly heading back to the study.

Knowing that Qin Fang already said there was more than just one treasure thief, with Qin Fang now dead, he naturally had to kill the other thieves.

The treasures in the treasury were all important to the Yang family, losing even one would cause significant pain, but if the entire treasury were emptied, the losses to the Yang family would be too great, even he as the Family Head might face the harshest penalties...

Not to mention other treasures, the sole remaining Xuanmu Order in the treasury, if that got stolen, the consequences would be beyond his capacity to bear.

Not long ago, he learned from his son Yang Rui that the Xuanmu Order he gave Yang Rui was actually a fake...

That was certainly an impossible thing, so he quickly realized the Xuanmu Order had been swapped, having dispatched many experts to pursue Qin Fang and others.

However, even if they caught them, the chances of retrieving the Xuanmu Order were not very high... so the remaining Xuanmu Order became more important, absolutely mustn't have any mishaps.

He chose to check the treasury at this time precisely to confirm the safety of this Xuanmu Order...

Yet unexpectedly, he ran into thieves stealing Yang Family's treasures from the treasury, showing just how terrible his mood must be!

Yang Tianlin dared not delay, he'd indeed been held up for quite some time by Qin Fang, if continued to stall, the treasure thieves might really take Yang Family's treasures away.

The areas where the Thousand Gates Five Great Families reside are somewhat separated, but not particularly far from each other, these thieves only need to get the treasures onto another family's territory, Yang Tianlin, no matter how powerful, wouldn't be able to reclaim the items from their mouths...

This is why he became so impatient!

Yang Tianlin even suspected that Qin Fang and these treasure thieves might have been sent by other families, with the aim to target the Yang family...(To be continued.
