Chapter 2067 - 1569: Beauty in Distress

Second update, asking for subscriptions, monthly tickets~~~~...

Feeling the terrifying palm energy surging towards them, the lazy Chrysanthemum Pig couldn't help but hide behind Qin Fang, as if very afraid of getting hurt.

Everard's face was also quite unsightly, the newcomer's power far exceeded his expectations, almost at a tier he couldn't compete with.

Especially when the palm force surged, the horrifying pressure nearly gave him a sense of unavoidable oppression, completely unable to resist.

However, Qin Fang seemed quite composed, just coldly watching the man in the black robe strike, feeling the extremely violent palm energy approach, yet showing no intention of evading.

Boom~~

Just as it seemed Qin Fang and the others would be struck by the palm energy... there suddenly came a loud bang, and the violent palm energy hit the stone door.

The palm force was indeed very violent, even such a giant stone door, three to four dozen centimeters thick and weighing several tons, couldn't help but tremble.

The sound of the stone door colliding with the ground echoed loudly, even Qin Fang and the others felt their ears buzzing, illustrating the terrifying power of the strike.

However, such terrifying palm energy couldn't affect any of Qin Fang's team... otherwise, someone definitely would have been crushed by the force!

Now, this didn't happen at all, completely blocked by the huge stone door, the black-robed man's attack was like a mud ox entering the sea, achieving nothing.

"What can you do to me?"

With such a stone door in the way, even a Great Master Peak Level black-robed man couldn't do anything to Qin Fang.

Furthermore, Qin Fang stood there, coldly looking at the black-robed man, mocking him with words, the black-robed man burned with rage, yet still had no recourse.

"As long as you're still on Devil's Island... I will find you, then tear you apart piece by piece!!!"

The stone door completely closed, only such a sentence faintly transmitted from outside, showing the frustration inside the black-robed man.

Such a threatening sentence, however, also made Qin Fang feel deeply apprehensive, as he still had to stay on Devil's Island for some time.

"Sigh, time is tight, need to hurry up..."

Understanding this point, Qin Fang no longer even thought about treasure hunting, only wanting to quickly find his father Qin Tiannan and then leave Devil's Island together.

Qin Tiannan, though at Great Grandmaster-level in cultivation, was only at the Early Stage of Grandmaster Level, his advancement time not considered long.

Although the black-robed man just recently stepped into Great Grandmaster-level cultivation, he directly reached Great Grandmaster Level Peak.

Consequently, Qin Tiannan not only had no advantage but faced enormous danger as well... not to mention, Qin Fang knew, that Scarface who was very hostile to Qin Tiannan seemed quite unfriendly towards their father-son duo, probably would strike ruthlessly given the chance!

"Sigh, Grandmaster-level Experts..."

Thinking of these known and potential enemies, even someone confident like Qin Fang was somewhat deeply helpless; they were simply too powerful.

"Let's go..."

Having considered these, even the excitement of surviving a disaster felt a bit dim, Qin Fang waved his hand and led Everard and Chrysanthemum Pig towards the other side of the secret passage.

"You pig... if you do it again, be careful I castrate you!"

However, to this unreliable Chrysanthemum Pig, Qin Fang cursed fiercely, even pulling out the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword, posturing as if he would make Chrysanthemum Pig an eunuch.

This pig was fiercer than anyone when eating, even eating until it wanted to vomit but still refusing to stop.

Yet, truly needing to risk its neck, this guy fled the fastest...

Encountering the Bloodsucking Black Centipede was the first time, facing the black-robed man just now was the second time! It really infuriated Qin Fang...

Before joining Qin Fang, this guy swore it was Qin Fang's top hitman, but now it's not much better than the top traitor.

"Mo~~Mo~~Mo~~"

However, the clever Chrysanthemum Pig, facing Qin Fang's bad intentions, immediately gave him a pitiable look with its eyes, stretched out two front hooves, pleading with Qin Fang... its appearance was so human-like, making Qin Fang really want to laugh.

"Just let it go this time, but if it happens again... I'll make you the Invincible One among pigs!"

Waving the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword by some frightened item on Chrysanthemum Pig, it startled the pig.

Of course, Qin Fang didn't intend to continue holding Chrysanthemum Pig accountable, this guy's character wasn't easy to change.

The two people and one pig continued to move forward along the secret passage... supposedly the only way to exit the maze, Qin Fang and his team hoped to leave from here.

The secret passage was very dim and somewhat dilapidated, seemingly untouched for many years... even worse than inside the maze.

Yet, after walking for a while, Qin Fang and his team faintly sensed some airflow.

"Not far from the exit..."

The air was a bit fresher, quite different from inside the labyrinth. At this moment, Qin Fang was completely convinced that this secret passage could indeed lead them out of the maze.

"We're almost out. It's better if everyone stays a bit cautious!"

Even with the exit just ahead, Qin Fang still appeared very cautious.

Lin Qian's background was quite special, and this tunnel was extremely hidden, probably not many people on Devil's Island even knew about it.

But it's precisely because of this that there's a higher likelihood someone might want to eliminate Qin Fang and the others who are aware of this route...

After all, Qin Fang and the others were trialists, not the island's natives. If the matter of this secret passage were leaked, it could severely harm certain interests.

"Someone..."

Almost at the entrance of the secret passage, a figure suddenly appeared on Qin Fang's map, which made him slightly startled.

Just as feared, someone else was actually guarding this spot... forcing Qin Fang to handle the situation cautiously.

"Huh, it's her!"

However, after Qin Fang carefully used his Scouting Skill to check, his expression relaxed quite a bit upon discovering that the person outside was Lin Qian, whom he had sent away earlier.

"How is she here?"

Nevertheless, that was nearly two days ago, precisely when Qin Fang had just entered the labyrinth. Now the trial in the maze was nearly at an end.

"She was so heavily injured, why hasn't she gone back to recuperate?"

This was what Qin Fang found perplexing, his brows knitted tightly.

Luckily, aside from Lin Qian, there was no one else around, which brought a slight sense of relief to Qin Fang's heart.

When Qin Fang and the others emerged from the tunnel, they found themselves in a very narrow valley. The tunnel was exceedingly concealed; from inside, one could clearly see outside, yet from the outside, it was almost impossible to locate...

"Concealment Formation?"

Even Qin Fang was amazed seeing this, such a near-lost formation arranged in such an inconspicuous place.

"Hey, it's you?"

Just as Qin Fang was still marveling, Lin Qian spotted Qin Fang and called out in utter surprise.

Only then did Qin Fang gaze at Lin Qian, seeing her still dressed in the same outfit from two days prior. Her spirit looked extremely bleak, face pale, lips devoid of color... She was even kneeling on the ground, possibly having maintained that posture for so long that her body was slightly stiff.

Yet upon seeing Qin Fang, her eyes held some surprise along with a hint of joy, adding some sparkle to her gaze...

"What's wrong with you? How could you..."

Qin Fang frowned deeply, quickly stepping beside Lin Qian, reaching out intending to help her up.

"No... don't!"

Upon seeing Qin Fang's movement, Lin Qian instinctively tried to protest, reaching out in an attempt to push him away. But as she moved, she immediately felt faint, her body tilting, turning her resistant motion into a collapse into Qin Fang's arms as she fainted directly!

Smiling and helpless, Qin Fang caught her, realizing her physical condition was dire, perhaps feeling more relaxed having fainted.

"Help keep an eye out for me. If someone approaches, notify me..."

Qin Fang instructed Everard beside him, then moved Lin Qian aside, lying her flat.

Maybe from kneeling too long, her body was stiff. Qin Fang exerted quite an effort to straighten her out.

Then, from the Props Box, he took some water and easy-to-swallow food, feeding Lin Qian slowly.

"Seems like these past days, she hasn't had much food or water... coupled with poor physical condition, that's why she collapsed!"

After carefully examining Lin Qian, only then did Qin Fang compose himself, understanding Lin Qian's condition roughly.

"What exactly happened that they're punishing someone so physically weak like this..."

Clearly, Lin Qian wasn't doing this out of boredom, for sure someone punished her, but this was excessively harsh.

If Qin Fang had arrived any later, Lin Qian might've already been unable to stand... He might have found a beautiful corpse by then!

"Someone's coming... seems there are quite a few people!"

Yet before Lin Qian fully woke up after having some water and food, Everard sent a message over.

Instantly rising, Qin Fang looked in that direction, indeed spotting a team heading over, numbering no less than twenty, including several skilled individuals...(To be continued.
