Obtaining Top Art on Family's Extermination Night

In that instant, a buzz went through the heads of Wind-faced Bear and Black-faced Rabbit.

They almost completely lost the ability to think.

From planning to execution, everything had gone smoothly.

So they never dreamed they would see him now—Fang Shuwen, the very person they were supposed to have lured away!

Fang Shuwen paid no mind to their shock. With a single grasp, he pulled Xu Shuxin to his side.

He gripped Xu Shuxin’s shoulder with one hand. At the same time, Wind-faced Bear finally realized what was happening.

Hoisting Black-faced Rabbit onto his back, he prepared to retreat.

But in the next instant, a suffocating blast of wind rushed toward him.

The agile Black-faced Rabbit leaped from Wind-faced Bear’s back with a light push of her feet. As for Wind-faced Bear, he roared and crossed his arms, his only goal to withstand Fang Shuwen’s palm strike.

But as the Palm Technique landed, the sickening crack of breaking bones echoed in the air.

Wind-faced Bear’s face contorted in alarm, but it was already too late.

The immense Palm Power pierced through his arms and struck him squarely in the chest.

The impact lifted him clean off the ground and sent him flying backward.

His large frame and the Martial Arts he practiced made him incredibly durable, yet he was completely unable to withstand the force of Fang Shuwen’s palm. The blow sent him flying over twenty feet. He spat out a mouthful of blood upon landing, his face a mask of pure horror.

Seeing this, Black-faced Rabbit turned to flee.

Among the Sang Mountain Seven Face, Wind-faced Bear was the strongest and most physically powerful.

If even he couldn’t take that palm strike head-on, her slender frame would be obliterated if Fang Shuwen so much as touched her. It would be certain death.

But just then, a powerful suction force pulled at her.

Her body, which had just leaped into the air, suddenly froze. She knew Fang Shuwen was using some profound Martial Arts. Rather than resist, she went with the pull, twisting her body as two throwing darts appeared in her hands.

With a flick of her wrists—SWISH SWISH SWISH! SWISH SWISH SWISH!

The sound of darts slicing through the air raced toward the carriage.

Aided by Fang Shuwen’s North Nether Divine Technique, the darts flew even faster.

Fang Shuwen was slightly surprised by Black-faced Rabbit’s reaction, but he merely smiled.

With a mere thought, he switched the North Nether Divine Technique from absorption to expulsion, striking his palm out toward Black-faced Rabbit. In the next instant, the darts froze in mid-air.

The suction became a repulsive force, followed by a deafening BOOM.

The carriage exploded. Splintered fragments and the darts, propelled by Fang Shuwen’s Palm Power, shot straight toward Black-faced Rabbit.

Beneath her mask, Black-faced Rabbit’s pupils constricted. She wanted to dodge, but suspended in mid-air, she had no way to change her trajectory.

She could only watch as the darts slammed into her body, one after another.

The final burst of power from Fang Shuwen’s palm strike drove the darts even deeper into her flesh.

With a THUD, Black-faced Rabbit’s body plummeted from the sky.

Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth beneath the mask. She was gravely wounded, on the verge of death.

Only then did the person waiting up front to drive the carriage have a chance to come over and see what was happening.

He saw Fang Shuwen leading Xu Shuxin out from the wreckage of the carriage, their eyes meeting.

The man wore a terrifying fox mask.

It was Ghost-faced Fox, one of the Sang Mountain Seven Face.

The instant he saw Fang Shuwen, he didn’t turn to run, nor did he attack. Instead, he dropped to his knees with a THUD.

"Great hero, spare me!!"

This display of pragmatism actually made Fang Shuwen pause for a moment. He then gave a silent laugh before striking the man’s head with his palm.

The eyes beneath the mask widened in shock, but it was far too late to escape. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

He was killed instantly by the blow, unable to mount even the slightest resistance.

During his journey, Fang Shuwen had naturally asked Chen Yan about the Sang Mountain Seven Face.

He knew they were a group of seven eccentrics who wore masks.

Their names were Human-faced Ghost, Smiling Eagle, Ghost-faced Fox, Demon-faced Tiger, Thorn-faced Lion, Black-faced Rabbit, and Wind-faced Bear.

Each of the seven had their own specialty. Human-faced Ghost, the leader, was the most unpredictable and vicious, his methods bizarre and cruel.

As for the others, Smiling Eagle was a master of the Lightweight Technique, Demon-faced Tiger’s Claw Technique was unmatched, Thorn-faced Lion specialized in Sound Technique, Black-faced Rabbit’s Body Technique was superb, and Wind-faced Bear possessed immense strength.

However, Chen Yan had told Fang Shuwen that aside from Human-faced Ghost, the one to watch out for the most was actually Ghost-faced Fox.

The man was profoundly cunning, almost supernaturally intelligent. While his Martial Arts weren’t the strongest of the seven, his methods were the most dangerous.

’Seeing him today,’ Fang Shuwen thought, ’I suppose Chen Yan wasn’t wrong.’

’People like Ghost-faced Fox are the most troublesome kind.’

’And if I gave him an opening, he’d surely find a way to escape.’

’That being the case, I couldn’t give him even the slightest chance. Best to kill him with a single palm strike and save myself the future trouble.’

Even at the moment of his death, Ghost-faced Fox couldn’t have imagined Fang Shuwen would be so decisive. The instant he saw Fang Shuwen appear, he knew the plan had gone wrong—that Fang Shuwen had seen through it.

In that moment, a thousand schemes flashed through his mind, but the top priority for every single one was to stay alive.

But in the end... he was never given the chance.

After killing Ghost-faced Fox, Fang Shuwen released the pressure points on Xu Shuxin.

Fang Shuwen’s technique for manipulating pressure points was actually quite crude.

But his Inner Strength was so profound that he could compensate for his crude methods with sheer power. The seal Black-faced Rabbit had placed was far too weak to stop him.
