In a split second…

Fang Zhe’s body vanished from where he stood. Not truly disappearing, but moving at a speed that surpassed human visual reaction.

Both men’s eyes widened instantly.

“What?!”

But they didn’t even have time to turn their heads. A sharp gust of wind had already brushed past the first man’s face.

WHOOSH!

Fang Zhe had already appeared at his side. His movement was so light, almost soundless.

The man only realized it when Fang Zhe’s shadow entered the corner of his vision.

“Too fas—”

PAK!

A palm strike slammed into his wrist.

The knife in his hand was instantly knocked away.

CLANK!

The metal blade spun in the air before falling onto the stone path.

But Fang Zhe didn’t stop. His right elbow rose.

PAAK!

It struck directly beneath the man’s ribs.

“UGH—!”

The man’s breath was immediately knocked out of him. His body bent forward uncontrollably.

But Fang Zhe had already moved again. His leg swept in a half-circle.

BAM!

The low kick slammed into the man’s knee.

CRACK!

His leg buckled instantly.

He dropped to his knees, face pale. All of it happened in less than two seconds.

At the same time—

The second man had just turned around, only to see his partner already collapsing. His eyes widened.

“So fast!”

But he quickly reacted. He swung his knife toward Fang Zhe’s neck.

SWISH!

Fang Zhe merely tilted his head slightly. The blade passed just centimeters from his face. His cold eyes locked onto the man.

Then…

His hand moved—extremely fast.

GRAB!

He caught the man’s wrist. The man tried to pull his knife back.

But Fang Zhe’s grip was like an iron clamp. It didn’t budge at all.

“What—?!”

Fang Zhe twisted his wrist slightly.

KRAK!

A sharp sound of a joint twisting echoed.

“AAARGH!”

The knife slipped from the man’s hand. But Fang Zhe wasn’t done. He yanked the man forward.

Then—

BAM!

His head slammed into the man’s face with a powerful headbutt.

Blood instantly sprayed from the man’s nose. His body staggered backward.

But Fang Zhe stepped forward again. His movements were like a shadow clinging close.

His left fist shot forward.

THUD!

The punch struck the man’s abdomen. The air was forced out of his lungs with a harsh sound.

“GHH—!”

His body lifted slightly off the ground before dropping to his knees.

Meanwhile, the first man—his knee cracked—tried to stand again.

He reached for his fallen knife. But when he raised his head—

Fang Zhe was already standing in front of him, his foot pressing down on his hand.

“You—”

KRAAACK!

Fang Zhe applied pressure, a sharp sound ringing out clearly.

The knife was sent flying again.

Then, with a light motion…

Fang Zhe’s foot shifted, pressing down on the man’s shoulder.

BAM!

His body was slammed back onto the ground. Fang Zhe’s foot now pressed firmly on his wrist again.

“ARGH!”

The man groaned in pain.

Meanwhile, his partner—nose bleeding—tried to rise again.

He attacked with a desperate punch.

WHOOSH!

Fang Zhe merely turned his head slightly. Only his hand moved like lightning.

GRAB!

The man’s fist was caught mid-air.

Fang Zhe twisted his body—

Then—

BAM!

He threw the man over his shoulder.

The man’s body crashed hard onto the garden grass. Dust and bits of grass scattered instantly.

A few seconds later…

Both men were already lying on the ground, gasping for breath. They didn’t even seem capable of standing.

Meanwhile, Fang Zhe still stood calmly on the stone path.

His breathing hadn’t even changed—still steady.

The night breeze blew again, gently moving a few strands of his hair.

He looked at the two men with a blank expression.

Then he walked closer. His steps were relaxed, as if what had just happened was nothing more than a light exercise.

He stopped in front of them.

“Now,” he said softly.

His gaze lowered toward them.

“Still want to confirm something?”

The two men glanced at each other. Their faces were filled with fear. One of them swallowed hard.

“We… were just following orders.”

Fang Zhe tilted his head slightly.

“Whose orders?”

But the man let out a bitter laugh.

“You think we’d talk?”

Fang Zhe stared at him for a few seconds.

Then…

He let out a small sigh.

“What a pity.”

He turned around.

As if he had already lost interest.

But just before he took a step—

A transparent panel suddenly appeared in front of his eyes once again.

*

[ System Activated ]

Target: Two individuals from the Brata family

Threat Level: Low

More text slowly appeared.

[ Target Emotional Analysis ]

Fear: 90%

Hostility: 18%

Killing Intent: 1%

The appearance of the panel made Fang Zhe narrow his eyes slightly.

Meanwhile, behind him…

The two men realized the same thing. The one with the bleeding nose whispered to his partner.

“We… we have to report this…”

His partner swallowed nervously.

“Yeah…”

His eyes were still fixed on Fang Zhe’s back.

“This man… isn’t normal.”

But Fang Zhe, who had already seen their identities through the system panel, smirked faintly. Then he bent down in front of them.

“Report? Report to Young Master Brata, you mean?”

The two men were instantly shocked. They could only stare at each other, unable to speak.

In that silence, one of them finally gathered the courage to speak.

“H-how do you know… that we’re sent by Young Master Brata?!”

Fang Zhe smirked again.

“Earlier today, I did have a conflict with Young Master Brata… but I really didn’t expect him to start investigating me so quickly.”

He paused slightly, his gaze turning colder.

“What a shame… the ones he sent are just trash like you.”

Seeing Fang Zhe standing there, something about his movements suddenly felt familiar.

The two of them were about to open their mouths—to shout.

But it was already too late.

KRAAACK!

    Wuuuush!The echo of the night wind slowly swept away the remaining dense purple aura left behind by the Second Prince’s envoy. Fang Zhe still stood tall upon the concrete rooftop, gazing at the silent night sky of Khong City. The dark red silk scroll embroidered with gold was now in his grasp; he squeezed it lightly before casually tossing it into his storage ring with utter indifference."A threat, huh? Interesting," Fang Zhe murmured, a faint, cynical smile etching itself onto his handsome face."The Second Prince... we shall see just how long the necks of those hidden cultivators of yours are if they dare disturb my peace."Diiiing!Suddenly, a crisp chiming sound broke the silence within Fang Zhe’s mind. The mechanical voice, far too familiar and long-awaited, finally echoed, bringing an invisible ripple of energy that soothed the soul.[System Notification: Hidden Mission 'Absolute Destruction of the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion' Has Been Declared a Success!][Mission Evaluation: P

    Fang Zhe’s body flashed like an illusory shadow, melting into the night wind and vanishing from the sight of the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion's higher-ups, who were still prostrated and trembling in fear.Within a mere fraction of a second, Fang Zhe was already outside the building, standing tall on the roof of a high-rise structure that directly faced the window of the VIP room from earlier. His pair of golden eyes flashed sharply, instantly locking onto a silhouette clad in pitch-black attire that was darting swiftly across the rooftops of Khong City."Decent movement. But before me, you are nothing more than a turtle," Fang Zhe murmured with a faint smirk."Thousand Lightning Steps!"Sreeeet!Fang Zhe stomped his foot. A surge of pure Qi, coated with a thin remnant of the ice element, exploded beneath his footing, propelling his body forward with a speed that triggered a small sonic boom.The man in black realized that his presence had been exposed.

    Fang Zhe glanced at the Grand Master with a cold smirk."...he is nothing more than a piece of trash counting down his final breaths."Hearing Fang Zhe’s bone-chilling words and seeing the glint of ice swirling once again at the youth's fingertips, the Grand Master’s mental state shattered completely. The sheer terror of an instant death without the chance of reincarnation made him forget every last shred of pride he possessed.In his mind right now, surrendering the Heaven's Fortune Pavilion was his only ticket to keep breathing. To hell with the underworld throne! To hell with Han Ling, who was already a corpse! Let alone seeking revenge, the Grand Master swore that for the rest of his life, he would never want to touch or cross paths with this monster in the guise of a youth named Fang Zhe ever again."Q-Quickly...! What are you waiting for, you fools?!" the Grand Master roared at the dozen directors and core managers who were still frozen in shock. His voice pitched into a hysteri

    Wuuuuuush!A bone-chilling, ice-cold aura suddenly erupted from Fang Zhe’s body, instantly sweeping away any remaining warmth inside the VIP room.Hearing such a casual yet horrifying admission, the Grand Master felt as though his heart had been bludgeoned by a giant mace. His brain throbbed painfully, forced to process information that completely defied his sense of logic."K-Killed him...?! You killed Han Ling?!" the Grand Master roared, his voice pitching into a frustrated, high-spirited shriek filled with absolute denial. "Liar! You must be bluffing! That is impossible!"The Grand Master shook his head wildly, his breathing turning shallower and more erratic behind his luxurious mask. He truly could not bring himself to believe a single word that came out of the young man’s mouth."Han Ling was no ordinary cultivator! He was an unmatched genius who had already stepped into the peak of the Spirit Gathering Realm! At his young age, he was a monster feared throughout the territories

    The hidden barrel at the tip of General Guan’s spear spat a bullet that roared furiously, ripping through the air with a velocity impossible for an ordinary mortal to evade.At the exact same time, the Grand Master, having completely lost his sanity, refused to be left behind. With a frenzied roar, his finger pulled the trigger of his pure gold revolver in rapid succession.BANG! BANG!Three golden bullets shot straight out, tearing through the remnants of the green velvet table, driving directly toward Fang Zhe’s forehead and heart.The distance between them was far too close, and the speed of those bullets was blindingly fast. Anyone in that position should have been obliterated into shreds of flesh within a matter of milliseconds.Yet, amid the storm of gunpowder and the deafening blasts of gunfire... Fang Zhe remained seated in absolute composure.He did not so much as blink behind his silver mask. His body leaned back casually in the grand master-chair, one hand still lazily prop

    Fang Zhe halted the movement of his hand, which had been resting on the chips. Behind his minimalist silver mask, his eyes flashed with an amusement that was as playful as it was cold. He did not break General Guan’s tight grip on his forearm, choosing instead to simply leave it be."Wagering your lives now that your money has run out?" Fang Zhe chuckled softly, a sound that was utterly relaxed yet dripping with contempt. "Fascinating. This will certainly save me a lot of time cleaning up this place. Very well, I accept your trash wager."Upon hearing Fang Zhe's agreement, General Guan slowly withdrew his hand. The general exhaled a heavy breath, exhaling a military Qi aura that was incredibly solid and oppressive. At the far end of the table, the Grand Master remained silent, but the cylinder of his golden revolver cycled once more with a rhythmic clicking sound, signaling that he too consented to this madness as a final move to turn the tides."Dealer... deal the final cards," the G
