First update, please subscribe and vote~~~~...

Qin Fang's strength was naturally slightly superior to Monk Wukong's by a level, but the realm of the two was not much different, both around the Grandmaster Mid-Stage cultivation... Both of them deliberately suppressed their strength, creating a neck-and-neck situation as soon as the fight began.

As for the other people, they were observers standing aside, quietly watching the "life-and-death duel" between Qin Fang and the monk... It really seemed like something serious.

Before long, Hattori Hisanari and the others arrived here and were naturally blocked by the fierce battle between Qin Fang and the monk.

The duel between two Grandmaster Mid-Stage experts was considerably noisy.

Although it was far from the duel of two Great Grandmaster Level experts, if it truly erupted, even a Master Level Late-Stage expert would have to give way... This was exactly the situation now.

The location of the fight was on a critical path, chosen specifically by Qin Fang and his group to block the way of Hattori Hisanari and his companions... To check on Hattori Ryuuichi's situation, they had to pass by Qin Fang's position.

However, this path was blocked by two Grandmaster-level Mid-stage experts, unless they detoured around the mountain ahead, adding at least ten kilometers to their route, to possibly reach the battlefield of Hattori Ryuuichi and Qin Tiannan.

Other than that, their only option was to forcefully break through the battlefield of the two experts...

Seeing this scene, Hattori Hisanari's expression slightly changed, seemingly not expecting such a "coincidence." Looking around at the surrounding mountains, his expression and eyes were somewhat displeased.

"In front, my young master needs to pass, get out of the way..."

Noticing Hattori Hisanari's reaction, his subordinate immediately jumped out and started yelling at Qin Fang and Monk Wukong, acting very domineeringly and rudely...

"Hmm?"

Such words coming from an Upper Ninja with only Grandmaster Level strength was truly a huge irony. Both Qin Fang and Monk Wukong, absorbed in their battle, couldn't help but change their expressions and glare fiercely at this "faithful servant" during their intense fight.

The aura of a Grandmaster-level expert was exceptionally strong, especially since Qin Fang and the monk were engaged in a "fight to the death," with their energy and spirit elevated to the extreme. Their gazes seemed to carry a violent energy, targeting this "servant" menacingly.

The gap between a Grandmaster Mid-Stage and a Grandmaster Level was immense, and merely releasing this aura almost caused the Upper Ninja to feel a trembling urge to kneel... His eyes and face were panic-stricken.

"Hmph~~"

However, at the critical moment, Hattori Hisanari couldn't stand it anymore and let out a cold snort. He then shook the energy on his body, neutralizing the energy of Qin Fang and the monk, saving this "faithful servant."

The most taboo thing in a showdown between experts, especially in a fight to the death, is interference from outsiders...

This Upper Ninja was used to being arrogant, ignoring the hierarchy and status. Even if he were killed by Qin Fang and the monk, it would have been his own fault... Therefore, when he uttered those words, even Hattori Hisanari vaguely felt something was amiss.

Thus, when Hattori Hisanari saw Qin Fang and the monk targeting the Upper Ninja, he didn't intervene until the critical moment, bearing the pressure of their auras for him...

"Not bad strength..."

This was just a normal aura confrontation, and Hattori Hisanari blocked Qin Fang and the monk's attack. His cultivation was impressive, making Qin Fang and the monk exchange glances.

This exchange was, of course, quite subtle, noticeable only to themselves, and Hattori Hisanari couldn't see through it. Even the Mid-term Great Grandmaster Expert present couldn't discern it; though an expert, he wasn't a psychological specialist!

"Gentlemen, we mean no harm, just wish to pass through..."

Qin Fang and the monk didn't seem to care about this little episode and continued their battle, seemingly determined to fight to the death... Hattori Hisanari, feeling a bit frustrated, then very politely negotiated with Qin Fang and the monk.

It must be said that Hattori Hisanari became a favorite in this Priest's trial, not just because of his superb strength, cultivation, and background, but also due to his outstanding interpersonal skills and personal composure.

At least, Qin Zi, who had a slight chance, and even Sakura from the Hokkaido Shrine, couldn't compare to him in this aspect.

This person, able to bend and stretch, calm and composed, was definitely not an ordinary character.

The more such a person is encountered, the more cautious one has to be, as he surely has many hidden cards. Even Qin Fang felt that dealing with him wouldn't be easy and silently adjusted his plans.

"Let me kill him first, then we'll talk..."

While planning in his mind, Qin Fang's hand didn't hesitate a bit, launching a ferocious killer move at Monk Wukong, as if he really wanted to tear him to pieces.

"Want to kill me? Dream on..."

Monk Wukong wasn't half weak either, responding very boldly, then also launching a killer move at Qin Fang.

The two continued their "showdown," completely ignoring Hattori Hisanari, with not the slightest intention of letting him pass...

Hattori Hisanari was initially stunned but then his expression turned somewhat unfriendly, and his gaze at Qin Fang and the monk Wukong was peculiar, seemingly indicating a hint of anger...

"Young Master, no need to be polite with them... The main matter is important! Let me handle it..."

Apparently unable to stand it any longer, a Great Grandmaster Level expert stepped forward from the crowd, casting a contemptuous glance at Qin Fang and Wukong. His tone was extremely calm, but the confidence within was indeed overwhelmingly domineering.

He spoke lightly, directing his words both to Hattori Hisanari and to Qin Fang and Wukong, as if he had noticed something but pretended to know nothing...

"Get lost~~~"

The moment the Great Grandmaster Level expert appeared, Qin Fang and Wukong both felt a shiver down their spines. This expert's strength was a tier above Qin Fang's father Qin Tiannan and Hattori Ryuuichi, a Grandmaster Mid-Stage expert, a full level stronger than both...

The gap between both parties was not something that could be simply quantified; it was in an entirely different league... Unless Qin Fang used the Godslaying Worm, this deadly weapon, they wouldn't stand a chance against the Great Grandmaster Mid-Stage expert.

Just this one roar, which contained an explosive aura, sent the battling Qin Fang and Wukong flying... without the slightest suspense.

"So strong..."

Although they had anticipated this result, when it truly happened, Qin Fang and his companion couldn't help but marvel...

Thud~~

Qin Fang and Wukong both had their internals shaken by the aura, immediately spitting out a mouthful of blood. The injuries weren't too severe, but they had to take some time to adjust their conditions; otherwise, they'd definitely suffer some lingering consequences.

"Overestimating yourselves..."

The Great Grandmaster Level expert merely glared coldly at Qin Fang and Wukong, with no intention of taking further action, simply commenting disdainfully before returning to Hattori Hisanari's side.

"Young Master, the way is clear. You can proceed..."

Despite Hattori Hisanari's weaker strength, his status and position were quite high. Even such a powerful Great Grandmaster Mid-Stage expert treated him with respect, almost like a servant.

This attitude was diametrically different from the one towards Qin Fang and Wukong... The disparity was significant.

Qin Fang and Wukong exchanged a particularly strange glance, then...

"Let's find another place to fight!"

"Afraid of you?"

The two seemed unwilling to abandon their duel, shouting a challenge before swiftly leading others away from the mountain pass, moving remarkably fast, as if they weren't at all injured.

Buzz~~~

Almost immediately after Qin Fang's group left, as Hattori Hisanari prepared to continue searching for Hattori Ryuuichi, a sudden explosive aura surged upwards, instantly changing the expressions of several experts in the group.

"Not good..."

Feeling the terrifying aura, Hattori Hisanari's expression shifted slightly, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes, while the Great Grandmaster Mid-Stage expert couldn't help but exclaim, seemingly realizing something.

"Quick! Go quickly..."

At this exclamation, Hattori Hisanari seemed to catch on, his face turning quite unsightly, immediately shouting orders and swiftly heading towards the source of the aura, accompanied by the Great Grandmaster expert.

Their speed was terrifying, almost matching Qin Fang's peak execution of the Traceless Snow Stepping Technique, possibly even slightly surpassing it...

Hattori Hisanari and the Great Grandmaster expert quickly departed, with the other experts naturally following suit, unable to match their speed.

"Idiots! You've missed the best moment to intervene..."

However, Qin Fang and his group suddenly sprang forward, blocking their path, glancing at the pair who had gone far, and Qin Fang couldn't help but mutter while giving a sinister look at the experts from Asama Shrine...

"The fat sheep are here, boys, don't hold back..."

Monk Wukong grinned mischievously and said. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommended tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
