Chapter 2274 - 1768: Acquiring the Tyrant Blade Secret Technique!

The second update, requesting subscription, monthly tickets~~~~...

Vincent in a fit of rage, his strength is truly terrifying to the extreme, definitely rising from the Early Stage of Grandmaster Level to the Great Grandmaster Mid Stage...

Although Qin Fang recently acquired fusion combat skills which made his strength surge significantly, capable of contending with an Early Stage of Grandmaster Level expert, when facing Vincent now, Qin Fang knows he still falls short.

"Want to kill me? Come chase me..."

Watching the enraged Vincent charging at him, Qin Fang simply threw out one sentence, and swiftly disappeared into a dark corner of the Seventh Level of the Underground Palace.

Compared to the narrow confines of the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors, the area of the Seventh Level of the Underground Palace can vaguely be compared to the Third Floor. At least within Qin Fang's mini-map range, it's unable to cover the entire Seventh Level.

The Seventh Level is not only large, but the passages are quite spacious as well, giving Qin Fang's Snow Traversing Step a place to shine, disappearing at high speed from Vincent's view...

Western experts are not originally skilled in speed, especially Vincent, this mutated metal man, though his strength is terrifying, speed is a considerable flaw, before he could react, Qin Fang's shadow was already gone.

Strength in Vincent's rage expanded to an extreme, the terrifying three-meter giant seemingly capable of destroying everything around him, yet it also lowered his speed to a minimal level, making it impossible for him to impede Qin Fang's departure.

"Want to chase me? Maybe in your next life..."

Before long, Qin Fang had already shaken off Vincent, unable to find his shadow even on the mini-map.

"I wonder what Wei Feng dropped..."

As long as Vincent doesn't catch up, Qin Fang is still very safe. As for others, even the old Master Song, Qin Fang is not afraid of them. Now he has the strength to contend with a Grandmaster Level expert.

Now secure, Qin Fang couldn't help but be quite interested in what Wei Feng had just dropped... Vincent came too quickly, leaving Qin Fang no time to take a glance, he could only hastily pick it up and then flee.

Now that it's safe, Qin Fang of course wanted to take a look.

"It's been a while since anything good dropped, don't let me down..."

As Qin Fang's strength grows ever stronger, experts of the same level become fewer. Though they can be defeated, they might not necessarily be killed... And even if killed, items might not always drop.

Take Gagarin for example, with strength comparable to Qin Fang, resulting in not even a fart dropping, leaving Qin Fang quite disappointed.

Now again taking down someone as strong as Qin Fang, Wei Feng, something did drop, but whether it's something good or just junk depends on one's luck...

While taking out the item, Qin Fang was also cautiously praying.

"Tyrant Blade..."

However, the moment Qin Fang took out the item, his expression immediately froze, his eyes shifting from surprise to ecstatic joy, "It actually dropped the Tyrant Blade Secret Technique..."

"This luck is... invincible!"

Qin Fang couldn't help but sigh.

Although killing such level experts provides a certain chance to drop their ultimate skills, Qin Fang has taken down so many opponents, truly encountering this situation is very few, only a handful of times.

Often after one instance, the next is unknown when it might occur...

But this time, Qin Fang's luck is rather good, after killing Ando Sasuke and dropping Water Escape Technique, only after Gagarin did he obtain the Tyrant Blade Secret Technique from Wei Feng.

"I have achieved in the Sword Dao now, it's better to skip practicing blade techniques..."

However, looking at the Tyrant Blade Secret Technique in his hand, Qin Fang considered for a while and decided to give up cultivation.

Though Qin Fang's physique is special and having multiple skills won't weigh him down, too much can spoil everything, Qin Fang decided to forego practicing Tyrant Blade...

While cultivating sword techniques, Qin Fang spent quite a lot of time just to comprehend Sword Intent, if not for the dual surprises of Seven-Star Sword Grass and Blood Drinking Sword, Qin Fang wouldn't know when he'd comprehend it.

Wei Feng practiced Tyrant Blade for over twenty years, from unknown strength breaking through to Master Level Peak, even initial condensation of Blade Gang, just half a step from entering Great Grandmaster Level, yet he couldn't comprehend Blade Intent either?

Although Qin Fang trusts his understanding should surpass Wei Feng's, practicing Tyrant Blade would likely take less time to comprehend Blade Intent...

However, it inevitably wastes quite a bit of time and energy, yet at most it only embellishes Qin Fang's current strength, which doesn't hold much significance. Rather than waste time and energy, focusing on cultivating the Sword Dao might offer further advancement!

"After returning, see who might be suitable to practice, then give it to them..."

Since deciding against practicing the Tyrant Blade Secret Technique, it certainly shouldn't go to waste. He considered waiting until the Underground Palace expedition ended, selecting an appropriate person to train with this precious passed-down secret technique, benefits certainly reserved for his own people.

"Alas, the rest are just garbage..."

The stuff Wei Feng dropped, aside from this Tyrant Blade Secret Technique, wasn't anything better, just some garbage that could have been useful or not, which Qin Fang tossed aside.

Wei Feng was Vincent's foundation, and though his strength was undoubtedly terrifying, he was exceedingly loyal to Vincent. Even if he obtained any treasures from the underground palace, he likely gave them to Vincent. Expecting to find a trove of treasures like when they looted Gagarin was obviously impossible.

As for other valuable items, there was no need to mention them. The weapon in his hand was made from ordinary refined steel, which Qin Fang had sliced into two with a single sword stroke, showing how poor he was...

"Forget it, let's just treasure hunt on the seventh level of the underground palace!"

Qin Fang didn't worry about it anymore. Since the seventh level was supposed to be where the treasures were, Qin Fang found himself in Treasure Mountain, how could he waste such a golden opportunity?

Especially now, the Hand of the Demon and the subsequent experts from the Six Major Families were still trapped on the fifth layer of the underground palace. If he didn't seize the opportunity to dig for treasures, that would be truly foolish... Just think back to the third level of the underground palace; wasn't it all bustling with people eventually, where even finding a spot was difficult!

"Where are the treasures?"

Thus, Qin Fang started moving on the seventh level of the underground palace, searching for the hiding spots of those treasures, yet he was somewhat perplexed, not even seeing the shadow of a treasure.

"How could this be?"

The seventh level of the underground palace was full of spacious passages, looking empty and hollow, completely different from the layout of the third level, which was full of dark chambers...

"Vincent arrived even earlier than me, wandering around the seventh level of the underground palace for quite some time. Couldn't he have also gotten nothing?"

Qin Fang couldn't help but think a bit mischievously.

He had just looked at the walls of the underground palace, made from extremely hard massive stones, and were quite smooth, with no traces of carving, naturally impossible to be concealing any treasures... yet the entire seventh level of the underground palace seemed to follow that trait, so where exactly were the treasures hidden?

"Huh, what's that?"

However, right at that moment, Qin Fang noticed a shadow ahead.

"Dead..."

To be precise, it was a corpse...

Judging by the attire on the corpse, it belonged to the Hand of the Demon, but someone had twisted its neck directly with brutal force.

"So that's how it is..."

And just in front of the corpse, a depression appeared on the ground, with an opened box inside, clearly a treasure had been stored inside, seemingly obtained by this unlucky soul but then snatched away by someone else.

"Could it be... Vincent, that old ghost, did it?"

Qin Fang examined the wounds on the deceased, unable to refrain from such malicious speculations, "Vincent, that old ghost, isn't just ordinarily ruthless, he even kills his own men..."

Currently, Qin Fang wasn't quite sure how many people had entered the seventh level of the underground palace, but he figured it wouldn't be too many.

Anyone who managed to survive to the fifth level of the underground palace probably wasn't lackluster in strength, not to say they were grandmaster level, but at least they would be at the master level peak.

Yet, such experts were still easily killed, which meant the killer's strength must have been extraordinarily terrifying...

Calculating like this, Vincent was still markedly suspicious.

Besides, with this guy's ruthless nature, killing a few subordinates would be no big deal at all, especially when vying for treasures; anything could happen!

"The treasures on the seventh level of the underground palace, presumably, won't be bad at all!"

As he travelled further into the underground palace, the quality of the treasures became increasingly better.

The bizarre "egg" Qin Fang acquired on the fifth level of the underground palace, though he still didn't know what kind of treasure it was, couldn't possibly be of low value... Vaguely, Qin Fang even felt it might be more precious than the Azure Dragon Pill.

And now, on the seventh level of the underground palace...

The grand underground palace was empty, only at such inconspicuous spots as this did treasure-hiding mechanisms conceal themselves. The mere emergence of one prompted experts like Vincent to commit murder against their own for the treasures, so those things couldn't be simple.

"So that's how it is..."

Qin Fang carefully studied the treasure-hiding mechanism, familiarizing himself with some of the structural characteristics, which was greatly beneficial for the treasure hunt to follow.

Strictly speaking, the treasure mechanism wasn't deemed too complicated among mechanical techniques. With Qin Fang's grandmaster-level cheating skills, though he couldn't claim to fully unravel its mysteries, he could certainly decipher most of it.

Thus, Qin Fang only needed to follow these patterns to ascertain whether any concealed treasures could exist within a certain range...

Qin Fang had already studied it, realizing this unfortunate dead person inadvertently triggered the mechanism... if it weren't for an accidental trigger, he might have passed by without ever realizing he brushed past that treasure!

Of course, if this person really passed by, perhaps they might still be alive, rather than having been killed... (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote with recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
