"Go ahead and kill me if you dare!!"
Enraged by the slap, Tong Tianba turned around to find Fang Shuwen glaring at him.
Fang Shuwen was somewhat helpless:
"Are you going to say again in a little while, 'Do as you please, kill me or torture me'?"
"Lately, I don't know why, but I keep hearing things like that."
Tong Tianba's face darkened, and he was about to say something when he saw Fang Shuwen put his index and middle fingers together, and the thread quietly emerged.
He raised his hand and pointed, his finger landing on Tong Tianba's Qimen Acupoint.
Tong Tianba's spine was dislocated by Fang Shuwen's pinching, and despite his immense strength, he was completely unable to move and could only let Fang Shuwen do as he pleased.
The finger had just touched the spot, so it didn't seem strange at all.
A slight pain spread from the acupoint, and he frowned slightly.
I advise you not to...
Before I could even utter the words "waste of energy," I felt the originally faint pain suddenly surge through my body like a bolt of lightning.
The pain, which was originally slight, became extremely intense in that instant!
Before this, Tong Tianba thought he wasn't afraid of pain.
His physical training began from the very basics. Although it wasn't as extreme as the [Azure Corpse Record], it still required constant tempering of the body, gradually breaking down and rebuilding.
In the end, it becomes invulnerable to swords and spears.
Therefore, to reach his current level, one needs to endure a lot of hardship.
Tong Tianba had long been accustomed to pain...
But only now did he realize that the pain he had endured in the past was still only on the surface.
Today, this extreme pain is what truly makes him wish he were dead.
It felt as if hundreds of silver needles were coursing beneath my skin, seeping into my bone marrow. I was in pain everywhere, yet I couldn't pinpoint the source of this agony.
This towering man finally couldn't hold back any longer and let out a piercing scream.
Fang Shuwen quietly manipulated the wire while silently sensing its movement.
Thanks to his tripled comprehension, he gained a new understanding and mastery of this method.
If Tong Tianba were a spineless coward, he wouldn't have had a chance to try... but this guy is a tough guy who wouldn't budge, which gave him a good opportunity to try this method again.
Most importantly, Tong Tianba's physique is extraordinary, far surpassing that of Zhang Fang and others.
Fang Shuwen's higher pain tolerance gave him more opportunities to gain insights, and he even began to try to use the [Beiming Shengong] to increase the power of this thread.
Tong Tianba wailed for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea before his body began to convulse, and blood seeped from his seven orifices.
This is far superior to Zhang Fang and his group.
It wasn't just because Tong Tianba was physically strong; more importantly, Fang Shuwen's skill in using a single thread had improved in a short period of time.
However, seeing Tong Tianba's miserable appearance, Fang Shuwen still withdrew his hand with some regret.
The pain receded like the tide, and when Tong Tianba looked at Fang Shuwen again, there was no trace of arrogance in his eyes. The intense fear that had been etched into his very bones in the short time it takes to drink a cup of tea was now deeply ingrained.
"Tell me, why did you kill those two people?"
Fang Shuwen pointed to the master and servant who were being protected by Lu'an Escort Agency in the center.
Tong Tianba took a deep breath:
"Fourth Master gave the order... but the reason is unknown."
Lu Guiyan's expression turned somewhat unpleasant upon hearing this:
Do you... know their origins?
What she wanted to know was how the Fierce Tiger Gang dared to mess with her friends in Flying Snow City.
Tong Tianba shook his head:
That's not important.
For the members of the Fierce Tiger Gang, killing is commonplace.
It doesn't matter who the master and servant are; what matters is that they are the people Fourth Master Qin wants to kill.
That's enough for them.
Fang Shuwen's eyebrows twitched slightly:
How did you know we would be passing through here tonight?
Tong Tianba let out a breath and glanced at the group from Lu'an Escort Agency.
Sun Qian's expression changed slightly, and the moment Tong Tianba fixed his gaze on him, he suddenly turned and ran.
But he had only taken two or three steps when a punch came flying at him.
[Four Seas Dragon Fist]!
It was Mo Beidou who made the move.
Sun Qian was not afraid of Mo Beidou. Normally, the two of them could fight each other to a standstill.
However, things are different now.
Mo Beidou's junior brother is too terrifying.
Even Tong Tianba was no match for him, so I was nothing in front of him.
Therefore, he had no intention of fighting Mo Beidou. He simply stepped aside and tried to run away from Mo Beidou.
However, this approach actually created a significant opening.
Mo Beidou transformed his fist into a claw, and with a hook and pull of the [Plum Blossom Loose Hands], he had already locked Sun Qian's shoulder. He took a step forward and flung him forward.
Sun Qian was thrown off balance and landed hard on her backside.
He tried to stand up, but felt a chill on his neck. When he looked up, he met Lu Guiyan's eyes.
What was resting on his shoulder was Lu Guiyan -feather knife.
Lu Guiyan's expression was complicated:
"Boss Sun, it's really you... why on earth is this?"
Sun Qian glanced at the blade pressed against his neck and knew there was no chance of escape.
"Haven't you already suspected me? Otherwise, why would you have entrusted that task to Old Mo?"
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have forgotten my identity in my haste."
Looking at the knife to his neck, Sun Qian's smile was somewhat smug:
What else could it be for?
"For the money."
"Someone gave me three thousand taels of silver to sell the route of this single courier mission to the Fierce Tiger Gang."
Why shouldn't I accept it?
Fang Shuwen slightly raised his eyelids:
"The person you're talking about isn't from the Fierce Tiger Gang?"
"It shouldn't be."
Sun Qian glanced at Fang Shuwen, a flicker of fear crossing his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said:
"Don't use those methods on me. I know I'm not going to survive. I'll tell you whatever you want to know."
"I don't know who that person is. When he told me about this, the young master escort had just taken over the deal, and we were still in Julu City before we set off."
Lu Guiyan sighed:
"So that's why the Fierce Tiger Gang ambushed us on our only route?"
"But... if that's the case, why didn't you tell the Fierce Tiger Gang our location in Guangning City?"
"... Because you were about to die!!"
Sun Qian looked at Lu Guiyan:
"If you die, this deal will be ruined."
"I've already planned my escape route. I'll leave Lu'an Escort Agency, take the three thousand taels of silver, and I can go anywhere and live a good life."
"I've had enough of this life of living on the edge, where there's no tomorrow..."
"I... I just want to... to live a good life."
His voice gradually took on a mournful tone.
However, the next moment, Mo Beidou's enormous fist slammed into his face:
"You bastard, you want to live a good life?"
"Then you're going to trick the young master's bodyguard?
"She is still so young... She is the only daughter of the chief bodyguard. Why are you so cruel?"
Several young thugs came over and pulled Mo Beidou away to prevent Sun Qian from being beaten to death.
Fang Shuwen, however, looked at Tong Tianba:
"Are you aware of what he's talking about?"
Tong Tianba shook his head:
All I know is that he secretly delivered a letter to us this evening. He didn't say where you were in Guangning City, he just said... you would pass through here.
"I know nothing else."
