Liu Fang moved as swift as lightning.

"He's really fast!"

"Senior Liu isn't showing Third Miss any mercy at all."

"Third Miss is going to lose the fight again. Such a pity."

The crowd couldn't help but comment on the fight.

They weren't truly sorry for Liu Qing. In fact, there was a hint of malicious glee in their voices.

They didn't want anyone else to get ahead of them-especially someone like Liu Qing. She was simply someone who had had the fortune of being adopted by the sect leader. Why should she have access to better resources than they did?

They might not have minded as much if Liu Qing was an utter stranger. But she was someone whom they knew and lived with. The envy could drive one mad.

Jiang Ning was the only person who remained calm.

Wisps of steam rose steadily from the teacup before him.

Meanwhile, in the arena, Liu Fang was already right in front of Liu Qing. His fist flew towards Liu Qing's shoulder.

He had Liu Qing cornered. No matter how she evaded, she wouldn't be able to dodge the attack.

"My apologies!"

He surged forward, his movement speeding up suddenly as he got within punching distance.

The crowd was stunned. Liu Fang wasn't showing any mercy at all.

He wasn't going to give Liu Qing a chance to retaliate or escape.

The image of Liu Qing's utter defeat as she was hit squarely by Liu Fang before flying out of the arena appeared in everyone's mind...

But!

Just as Liu Fang appeared right before Liu Qing and his fist was about to land on Liu Fang's shoulder, she moved!

Her shoulder shifted. The slightest of movement resulted in Liu Fang missing and hitting air instead. Such incredible agility!

Liu Fang was stunned. He had no idea what had just happened. How...how had she managed to dodge his attack?

Her feet hadn't budged a single inch. How had she managed to dodge his attack with a slight shift of her shoulder? This...this was impossible!

Before Liu Fang could make his next move, Liu Qing's arm shifted, shooting up and sending a swift uppercut that smashed squarely into Liu Fang's jaw without any warning.

BAM!

The blow landed forcefully.

She attacked like a ferocious lioness. The full force of her fury which she had repressed for so very long was injected into her punch.

A loud scream of agony pierced the air. The attack sent Liu Fang flying into the air, spinning a few rounds before landing heavily on the ground.

PFFT...

His jaw was misshapen and the bone had split. Blood sputtered from his mouth and splattered everywhere.

A deathly silence descended upon the crowd.

Everyone gaped. Some started to rub their eyes. They couldn't believe what they had just seen.

Had they...just experienced a hallucination?

Had Liu Fang truly been defeated?

He must have been defeated since he was lying prone on the ground with his body spasming as blood streamed from his mouth. He couldn't even scream. His face was almost twisted out of shape.

Luo Heng and his fellow disciples

were dumbstruck. They were well aware of Liu Fang's abilities. The three of them should have been the only ones who could have defeated him so effortlessly.

How did Liu Qing manage to achieve such a drastic improvement in such a short period of time?

Her first dodge had been extremely fluid. It had been a fine display of her agility. They were overcome with emotion as they carefully recalled the details of that particular move.

Zhang Heng was equally shocked. He couldn't believe it. In fact, he wasn't sure if he could have accomplished such an evasion.

Suspicion flickered in his eyes but he

crushed it instantly. It was

impossible. She couldn't haveContent protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

improved so much within such a

period of time. Not even if Liu

Cao instructed her personally.

Was it because of him?

Zhang Heng's eyes fell on Jiang Ning.

He watched as Jiang Ning sipped calmly at his tea and frowned

slightly. He had not paid any

attention to Jiang Ning since the man had first appeared in the sect. In fact he had disregarded him completely. His disregard had remained even after Mr He had told him that the sect leader was eying to have Jiang Ning as his son-in-law.

It appeared that he might have underestimated Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning seemed too young to be that dangerous though. He wasn't a member of the Qingshan Sect either. Who exactly was this man?
