Qin An Fights Wu Sancai

A thought flickered in his mind, and Qin Shaofeng quickly asked Qin An, "Uncle An, how much strength can you exert right now? Can you defeat that Wu Sancai?"

Qin An hesitated for a moment, then gently shook his head and said, "No! Although Wu Sancai is only famous for his Black Poison Hands and earned the title of Black Hand Butcher, he is, after all, a Xiantian Martial Master at the first level, just like me."

Glancing back again, seeing that Wu Sancai was still trailing behind them, Qin An continued, "If I were in my prime, he would definitely not be my opponent. But even after detoxifying half of the poison, my strength is at most at sixty to seventy percent. In this state, I cannot possibly defeat him!"

Pausing slightly, Qin An then said firmly to Qin Shaofeng, "Young Master, don't worry. Even if I can't defeat Wu Sancai now, I can still hold him off. When I engage Wu Sancai, you should escape quickly!"

Escape?

How could that be possible?

Being chased for no reason and having wasted a full 100 points, how could Qin Shaofeng just let Wu Sancai go?

Moreover, could he really stand by and watch his Uncle An, who had always doted on him since childhood, die at the hands of Wu Sancai?

However, Qin Shaofeng didn't say much to Qin An. He had his own plan now.

But he also knew that if his Uncle An knew about his current plan, he would definitely not agree.

So, it was better to remain silent for now!

Qin An didn't pay much attention to Qin Shaofeng's silence. After finally suppressing the toxins in his body, Qin An spoke.

"Young Master, prepare yourself. When I hold off Wu Sancai, you run quickly. Don't stop midway, head straight back to Lanjiang City! I will try my best to delay Wu Sancai!"

As he spoke, Qin An exerted a sudden force with both hands, throwing Qin Shaofeng away.

Qin Shaofeng used this momentum to leap onto a distant large tree, and with a few flashes, he disappeared into the dense forest.

Take care, Young Master!

Gazing at the spot where Qin Shaofeng had disappeared, Qin An murmured silently in his heart. Then, a resolute glint flashed in Qin An's eyes as he turned around and faced the rapidly approaching Wu Sancai head-on.

"Finally stopped running?"

A cold sneer came, and Wu Sancai, clad in his black robe, stopped opposite Qin An.

He glanced at the direction Qin Shaofeng had disappeared, and Wu Sancai sneered, "Qin An, you've been poisoned for quite some time. Although you've managed to hold on until now thanks to your Xiantian Inner Qi, you're not far from death. Do you really think that letting that little brat escape first will allow him to get away? Besides, in your current condition, can you even stop me?"

Qin An remained unfazed, looking at Wu Sancai with a calm expression. He spoke indifferently, "We'll know if we try!"

"Arrogant!"

Wu Sancai was completely enraged by Qin An's calm demeanor. With a low growl, he lunged at Qin An.

As he moved, Wu Sancai exuded a faint, foul odor. Even before he arrived, his poisonous attack had already reached them.

"Hmph!"

As if he had anticipated Wu Sancai's petty move, Qin An let out a cold snort. He waved his large hand, and a surge of Xiantian Inner Qi swept out, pushing away all the foul-smelling air.

He was already doing his best to suppress the poison within him. If he were to inhale more of Wu Sancai's poisonous gas, it would be disastrous.

But just as he finished this, a dark shadow flashed before his eyes. Wu Sancai had already appeared before him. He raised both hands, revealing his purplish-black hands from beneath his black robe, and with layers of black energy, he struck at Qin An.

But Qin An's reaction was not slow either. As the black palms approached, the Xiantian Inner Qi in his body circulated, and his hands began to emit a faint, pale white Xiantian Inner Qi. He raised his hands and also struck out repeatedly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Although it was palm against palm, the sound of impact was like two resounding booms.

For a moment, as they exchanged blows, black poisonous gas scattered everywhere.

Furthermore, because they were both Xiantian Martial Masters, the shockwaves from their clash directly caused the surrounding large trees to tremble violently downwards.

Rustle!

Countless leaves were shaken loose from the trees and then, due to the residual shockwaves, they whirled madly in mid-air.

"Hahaha!"

Although Qin An had blocked his two palm attacks, Wu Sancai suddenly burst into laughter.

This was because he realized that the strength Qin An had used to block his palms was far from his peak condition.

This was clearly the effect of his secret poison. The strength Qin An now possessed was less than half of his prime.

"Qin An! Qin An, you truly disappoint me, Wu Sancai!"

Shaking his head slightly, Wu Sancai deliberately said with disdain.

But Qin An, hearing his words at this moment, let out a cold laugh in his heart.

His two palms just now were intentionally weakened, which gave Wu Sancai the illusion that his strength was less than half of his prime.

Although the poison in Qin An's body had not been completely resolved, if he were to unleash his full power, he could still exert about seventy percent of his prime strength.

But Qin An understood that even seventy percent strength would not be enough to defeat Wu Sancai. It was better to deliberately feign weakness and paralyze Wu Sancai, thereby buying as much time as possible for Qin Shaofeng to escape.

Wu Sancai, of course, did not know this. He thought Qin An remained silent because his guess had been correct.

"Nothing to say, is that it?" Wu Sancai sneered coldly. "Then go to hell!"

As soon as the words fell, Wu Sancai lunged at Qin An again. His purplish-black hands instantly struck out repeatedly, unleashing one powerful attack after another imbued with Xiantian Inner Qi.

Qin An did not dare to be negligent. While pretending to put up a struggling defense, he also unleashed palm after palm, countering Wu Sancai's attacks. At the same time, he would occasionally retreat a few steps or deliberately let a trace of blood show at the corner of his mouth.

Under these circumstances, Wu Sancai grew more and more excited with each attack, especially when he saw the trace of blood at the corner of Qin An's mouth, which made him even more agitated.

Qin Family Dark Guards, Zhang Family Death Warriors, Wang Family Merchants!

These were the symbols of the three great families of Lanjiang City, and among the Qin Family Dark Guards, Qin An was the symbol of the Dark Guards.

To think that he could actually defeat the symbol of the Qin Family Dark Guards, how could Wu Sancai not be excited?

Under such emotions, Wu Sancai became more and more thrilled, and his attacks grew stronger and stronger.

But no matter how he attacked, Qin An would eventually block them one by one, or cleverly dodge them.

At worst, Qin An would occasionally let a trace of blood leak from the corner of his mouth; nothing else.

At first, Wu Sancai didn't notice anything, but gradually he felt something was wrong.

Finally, after attacking for a quarter of an hour, Wu Sancai seemed to have discovered something and suddenly roared at Qin An, "Qin An, you dare to toy with me?"

Wu Sancai wasn't stupid. After the initial excitement, he finally realized that Qin An was deliberately stalling him!

"So what if I am?" Qin An gave a cold smile, his face showing a hint of disdain. "You only realize it now? I have to say, you Black Hand Butcher are truly quite foolish!"

Although he said this, Qin An was not in a good state either. He had been poisoned, and not only could he not exert his full strength, but he also had to expend a lot of Xiantian Inner Qi to suppress the poison in his body.

Coupled with Wu Sancai's repeated attacks, it was somewhat incredible that he could hold on until now.

"Ah! Damn it!"

This time, Wu Sancai was truly going mad.

All the previous excitement had completely vanished.

The thought that Qin An might have been treating him like a monkey ignited an uncontrollable rage within him.

"Qin An, die!"

In his fury, Wu Sancai held nothing back. His whole body tensed, he extended his purplish-black hands, and wisps of black mist emerged from them.

A black robe, black mist, and Wu Sancai's terrifyingly ferocious expression at this moment.

The word "Butcher" suited his current eerie appearance quite well.

But facing such a Wu Sancai, Qin An's expression became extremely grave.

A quarter of an hour has passed, the young master should be far away by now!

Suddenly thinking of something, Qin An felt a lot more at ease.

Then, a resolute look flashed across Qin An's face, and he made a sudden decision in his heart.

Since that was the case, he no longer needed to hold back.

Suddenly, Qin An withdrew the Xiantian Inner Qi he was using to suppress the poison in his body. He then circulated all the Xiantian Inner Qi within him and faced Wu Sancai, who was attacking him with a body covered in strange black energy, with a long laugh.

"Haha, Wu Sancai, if you want to kill me, I won't let you have it easy either!"

Saying that, Qin An moved.

"Phantom Fist!"

As Old Master Qin's most capable assistant, Qin An had earned Old Master Qin's utmost trust. He had even been taught the Qin Family's ultimate technique, the Phantom Fist.

With a fierce roar, Qin An clenched his fists. A faint white light flashed on his fists, and with an air of facing death, he struck towards Wu Sancai.

Qin An was not Qin Shaofeng. The Phantom Fist he unleashed was not the flashy display Qin Shaofeng used against Zhang Lingtian, but the genuine Phantom Fist.

Moreover, because he had cast aside all thoughts of his own life and death, the power of Qin An's Phantom Fist had suddenly increased dramatically.

In mid-air, a whistling sound erupted. Ten fist rays carrying white light pierced the air, emitting sharp sonic booms.

Under these ten Phantom Fists, the surrounding air became extremely heavy.

Not good!

The aura emanating from Qin An's Phantom Fist made Wu Sancai's heart skip a beat. But at this point, even if he wanted to dodge, he couldn't.

Wu Sancai was also a ruthless man. Knowing he couldn't dodge, he hardened his heart, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. He roared, "Five Absolute Poison Palms!"

In an instant, a faint purplish-black light surged from Wu Sancai's hands, and poisonous gas surged towards Qin An's Phantom Fist.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Fist against palm!

Five Absolute Poisonous energy against Phantom Fist rays!

Finally, their attacks collided!

Several loud explosions echoed in mid-air, caused by the powerful Xiantian Inner Qi erupting from the clash of fists and palms. Surrounding trees flew, and earth and stones were scattered.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As the explosions subsided, two figures were sent flying backward.

One crashed to the ground, falling into a crater.

The other was sent flying through the air, smashing through several large trees before finally coming to a halt against the trunk of a large tree.

The center of the explosion, however, suddenly churned with powerful Inner Qi surges that swept away everything in its path.

Even several towering trees were uprooted, and the area at the center became rather bare for a time.

Not only that, but the surrounding trees seemed to have been contaminated with a potent poison due to Wu Sancai's use of the Five Absolute Poison Palms, and they had begun to wither.

As expected of the Black Hand Butcher, those Five Absolute Poison Palms were truly terrifying.
