Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 881 - 882: Cunning Is Also a Kind of Ability
"Boom!"
Fang Zan managed to reach his current position, not merely by luck.
Although he had lost some rationality at the moment, his survival instinct led him to immediately make a judgment: to live, he must fight desperately and take someone hostage.
And the ones he hated the most right now were none other than Fang Haohong and the other elders of the Fang Family.
He could ignore outsiders falsely accusing him, even scoff at them. But being framed by his own, that he couldn’t tolerate.
Thus, his target was the Fifth Elder, Fang Wen.
A terrifying aura swept out from Fang Zan, and like a fierce tiger, he pounced toward Fang Wen.
Fang Wen’s cultivation was one layer above his, giving him enough confidence to take Fang Wen down in one move.
Fang Zan’s oppressive momentum caused the faces of those present to change dramatically. Especially Fang Wen, whose face turned pale.
With a raised hand, Fang Zan’s terrifying strength pressed down like a mountain, impeding Fang Wen’s cultivation flow, and the space around seemed to be confined.
Of course, Fang Wen wouldn’t just sit still and face death. His aura surged around him, and with a raised palm, strength swept out like a tide.
"Boom!"
The two forces collided, sending terrifying shock waves crazily spreading in all directions, pulverizing the stone bricks on the ground and the surrounding flora instantly.
"Pfft!"
With just one palm strike, Fang Wen’s blood and Qi surged tumultuously, causing him to spit blood.
Fang Zan sneered and reached out to grab Fang Wen’s neck.
"Insolent!"
A fierce force suddenly appeared, distorting the air around.
"Bang!"
Fang Zan was directly sent flying by the terrifying force, coughing up blood mid-air, and fell heavily more than a hundred meters away.
Everyone looked toward Fang Haohong, truly worthy of being the family head—the power was undeniably horrifying.
Fang Wen was full of gratitude; if the family head hadn’t acted at the critical moment, he feared Fang Zan would have taken him down.
Fang Haohong’s face turned pale, and with a wave of his hand, the air erupted violently; the terrifying force pressed down like a mountain, smashing directly into Fang Zan.
"Boom!"
Centered on Fang Zan, the ground with a diameter of tens of meters suddenly sank, with cracks spreading out like centipedes, the ground turning into a spider web. The surrounding rockery collapsed from the shock.
As the dust and dirt settled, half of Fang Zan’s body was pressed into the ground, his skin cracked with dense wounds, staining him blood red.
The crowd couldn’t sense Fang Zan’s presence, presumed he was killed by Fang Haohong.
Fang Haohong’s cultivation must have reached the late stage of Divine Separation; otherwise, he wouldn’t have so easily killed Fang Zan.
Everyone felt a chill; Fang Haohong was truly ruthless, mercilessly killing his own elder.
Qin Yi’s lips curled into a mocking smile, "Trickery, trying to fool the heavens?"
The crowd couldn’t sense Fang Zan’s presence and thought he was dead. But it couldn’t fool him; Fang Zan was still alive.
Although Fang Haohong’s strike was indeed fierce, it gravely injured Fang Zan but protected his heart meridian. So Fang Zan looked dead but was actually alive.
Fang Zan was in the Divine Separation Middle Stage, such a strong individual would be a treasure for any family.
Fang Haohong glanced around coldly, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have given you my explanation, are you satisfied?"
Everyone was bewildered, as was Chen Qingxia. No one expected Fang Haohong to be so ruthless, directly killing Fang Zan.
Mo Fushui’s eyes flickered; Fang Haohong showed no mercy even towards his own, making it dangerous for outsiders like them to stay at the Fang Family, better to leave first.
"Fang Family Head, such righteousness and benevolence, we admire it. Since the matter is settled, we shall take our leave and come back to visit another day."
No one wanted to linger at the Fang Family, so they all bade farewell!
Yet just then, the supposedly dead Fang Zan suddenly coughed up blood.
Fang Zan was still alive?
No fool was present; they immediately knew Fang Haohong was up to mischief and instinctively looked towards him.
Fang Haohong’s face subtly twisted, turning pale then white. He didn’t understand, having made Fang Zan unconscious and sealed his heart meridian, how he suddenly woke up?
Qin Yi’s lips curled into a cold smile. He secretly shattered the power protecting Fang Zan’s heart meridian, and with blood and Qi circulating, Fang Zan waking up and throwing blood was inevitable.
Chen Qingxia’s face was cold, "Unexpectedly, under Fang Family Head’s hand, this old scoundrel could still survive. Did the family head show mercy, or is this scoundrel just hard to kill?"
"Certainly, this scoundrel is hard to kill. For him to survive the family head’s strike, that’s rarer than seeing a ghost," Mo Fushui sneered.
Fang Haohong felt like crying; originally, he was to give Baihua Pavilion and Mo Family an explanation, pretending to kill Fang Zan and then secretly revive him. Who knew Fang Zan would abruptly wake up?
Moreover, Fang Zan’s first action upon waking was to glare venomously at him, more venomous than a Poison Snake, causing Fang Haohong deep unease.
Fang Zan, I intended to save you, but you suddenly woke; it’s the heavens refusing to let you live, not my fault. Fang Haohong thought this. He knew Fang Zan now hated him to the core, even if alive, deeply resentful of him.
"Didn’t expect you indeed have such tenacity."
Fang Haohong sneered, waving a hand, the terrifying power exploded the ground once more.
This time, flesh and blood flew, Fang Zan was turned into mush, dead beyond doubt.
The Fang Family members all wore faces of sadness; mutual slaughter within the family was historically the most heart-wrenching affair.
But some were joyful while others were worried.
Baihua Pavilion and Mo Family were naturally delighted; Fang Zan nearly killed Bai Jingqing and Mo Wuji, his death brought them considerable vengeance.
Nan Family and Lei Family’s eyes hid uncontainable excitement; knowing Fang Zan was a Divine Separation Middle Stage expert, for any family such a power is precious.
With Fang Zan’s death, Fang Family’s influence plummeting, this thrilled them immensely.
Bai Jingqing and Mo Wuji exchanged a glance, only they and Qin Yi and Lan Jiaojiao knew what happened. Qin Yi’s move was indeed brilliant, rescuing Lan Jiaojiao, causing Fang Family to lose a mid-stage elder, and further deepening the five great families’ conflicts.
Qin Yi’s move hit three marks, indeed a masterful play.
The Fang Family was also unlucky, having laid out a net to slay Qin Yi, only for the net to fall upon themselves.
As for Qin Yi, the instigator, at this moment, hiding in the back enjoying the chaos.
The Five Great Families’ conflict deepened; with Fang Zan’s death, the rift couldn’t be bridged; Qin Yi was quite satisfied with this result.
"Let’s go!"
Qin Yi whispered to Lan Jiaojiao.
The two quietly slipped away amidst the chaotic scene.
Qin Yi initially intended to rob the Fang Family’s Treasure Vault, but thought it over; such an important place would be heavily guarded, better to find another opportunity. He couldn’t expose himself now, otherwise, all previous efforts would be wasted.
"Old Qin, you truly are amazing," Lan Jiaojiao complimented sincerely.
Qin Yi’s lips curved slightly, "I also feel I’m quite amazing."
"Indeed, being insidious is also a kind of ability, a symbol of wisdom. Without brains, one couldn’t even be insidious."
Qin Yi: "..."
Was this a compliment?
