"Why are there so many people?"
When the gunfire erupted, even Qin Fang was taken aback. A team of at least twenty or thirty people suddenly appeared around, firing guns at the assassins trailing behind Qin Fang.
These people seemed to have already been arranged there, as if waiting for Qin Fang and his group to enter the range before they started shooting...
Judging from the setup, these people seemed to have been arranged by Ji Xiang, also aimed at dealing with these assassins following Qin Fang. They took action mercilessly, with almost no compassion, wiping out more than half of the assassins in no time.
But the problem is...
Qin Fang also didn't know where Ji Xiang found so many people, and from their teamwork, organizational structure, and more, they were almost no different from professional mercenaries.
However, these people's objective was very clear, which was to ambush these assassins. They didn't even glance at Qin Fang and just let him pass.
The reason assassins are terrifying isn't that they are overwhelmingly stronger than ordinary people; their main skill lies in hiding and striking lethally.
But when assassins appear under the sun, becoming live targets for others, they aren't much more formidable than anyone else...
Similarly, even someone as strong as Qin Fang would not fare better than these assassins if caught in such a scenario.
At the very least, when these assassins retaliate, some experts try to attack Qin Fang, amidst the chaotic gunfire and flying bullets, forcing Qin Fang to huddle inside the car, occasionally firing back.
Of course, once Qin Fang does strike, it's a deadly blow...
He could remain inside the car without moving, making it difficult for opponents to harm him without getting close, and they couldn't even detect his movements.
Qin Fang doesn't need to use his eyes to see or aim; he only needs to focus on the movements on the small map to accurately judge the opponent's actions.
Thus, every time Qin Fang fired, there was always an unlucky guy falling under his gun, typically dying instantly without a chance to dodge.
In just about two or three minutes, Qin Fang used the small map to confirm that, excluding the people Ji Xiang arranged, not a single assassin who followed him was left; all were shot dead...
And almost simultaneously, these people rapidly split up and disappeared from the scene, leaving behind more than ten vehicles riddled with bullet holes.
Meanwhile, Qin Fang's phone immediately displayed an "OK" message, which was sent by Lai Wen, who was clearly watching the situation here all along.
Qin Fang did not stay at the scene but started the car and continued moving forward while contacting Tang Cheng over the phone... Over twenty people died, all shot dead; this wasn't a small matter, and it could cause quite a lot of trouble for Qin Fang.
Conveniently, Tang Cheng was in Jiangzhou overseeing the successful conduct of an antique exhibition, making it easier for him to handle the situation.
After all, these assassins weren't ordinary citizens; they all belonged to the underworld, including some fairly renowned assassins...
Although these people were already dead, with a little maneuvering, it might not only avoid trouble but also potentially bring Qin Fang some considerable benefits.
Eliminating twenty assassins at once might not affect those truly powerful experts, but it did send significant tremors through those assassins looking to fish in troubled waters.
This is Jiangzhou, the territory of the Dragon Country. Although Qin Fang isn't a powerful overlord, he isn't an ordinary person either. Especially after this action, he frightened an unknown number of people.
Assassins aren't easily cultivated, especially those above Three-Star rank; they are nurtured at the cost of human lives...
But having this many written off at once, even the Assassin's Alliance would likely feel the sting.
Of course, forces like the Mercenary Alliance and the Black Fist Alliance were gloating. Although they had people participating in the hunt for Qin Fang, they hadn't rushed to make a move. The Assassin's Alliance's blunder gave many people pause.
Qin Fang was quite satisfied with this; he wasn't afraid of those strong experts. As long as he remained cautious, it was difficult for experts to harm him.
However, he was quite wary of the numerous small assassins looking to take advantage of chaos; as they say, a flurry of blows can even defeat a skilled master. Even though Qin Fang's extraordinary ability was seemingly invincible, countless sneak attacks posed a significant threat.
This operation had deterred quite a few people, and Ji Xiang even informed him that many assassins who considered themselves unfit had quietly left Jiangzhou.
Or they might have sneaked into the Mainland of the Dragon Country, or simply went overseas...
Without some pests, Qin Fang was much more at ease, at least he wouldn't always feel like there were countless pairs of eyes watching him every time he went out.
Ji Xiang continued to lurk in the shadows, while Lai Wen provided assistance from the side, never showing any signs of having any relationship with Qin Fang.
As for those armed forces that ambushed the assassins, Qin Fang already knew from Ji Xiang that they were the family forces behind Ji Xiang. Although the numbers were not right, their strength was formidable.
It was also from this incident that Qin Fang learned that Ji Xiang came from Thailand, where his family had a considerable influence in the Golden Triangle, even being one of the top three powers in the Golden Triangle, controlling nearly a quarter of the drug trade there.
Qin Fang had been to Anlang and to the edge of the Golden Triangle. Though he never fully delved in, he knew how chaotic it was there.
The forces in the Golden Triangle are incredibly complex. It's truly a land of warlords; whoever has strong armed forces can occupy large territories...
But at the same time, many forces secretly control that area, and virtually every power has many behind-the-scenes forces controlling them. The stronger the power, the more powerful and complex the forces behind them...
This time, the armed forces were brought in by Ji Xiang through connections, and it wasn't hard to see his status within the family from this accomplishment.
However, Qin Fang wasn't concerned. His relationship with Ji Xiang was mutually beneficial, although they had once fought to the death, there were no entanglements in their interests.
Ji Xiang helped Qin Fang significantly this time, which was already a favor Qin Fang owed him. To probe into those unasked matters would be quite improper.
Their relationship remained a secret, and the people summoned by Ji Xiang seemed to have vanished into thin air, with no trace of their whereabouts.
But Qin Fang knew these people were still in Jiangzhou, at least still in the Dragon Country, they couldn't have returned to the Golden Triangle at this time...
The people from the Assassin's Alliance are not fools. This incident had a not-so-good impact, many eyes are watching, and if this force left suddenly afterwards, some people with keen minds would make connections.
Qin Fang wasn't afraid of trouble, but he didn't want to bring any unnecessary trouble to Ji Xiang or his family behind him... Especially since being an assassin requires secrecy, and once exposed, it's a very unwise and dangerous thing.
The flower blooms with two branches, each showing its own glory.
The crisis on Qin Fang's side was temporarily resolved... At least it was alleviated, naturally making him relax a bit, and in a fit of boredom, he was called out by Tang Cheng.
Jiangzhou is the most prosperous metropolis in the Dragon Country, with countless wealthy people, thus high-end clubs are everywhere.
Tang Cheng's special status made it inconvenient for him to visit those entertainment venues, but relatively discreet clubs didn't carry much concern.
This time, Tang Cheng took the initiative to invite Qin Fang out, and the location was at the Northern Country Colorful Club, a place quite secluded but as popular as Drunken River South.
From the name of this club, you could grasp a faint hint about it, significantly different in style from the moist Jiangnan water town atmosphere of Drunken River South, almost brimming with the bold and vivid Northern country vibe...
Its decor is primarily simple and rugged, vastly differing from Jiangnan's intricate artistry, and the service staff, including the beautiful waitresses, are almost all from the northern regions...
The northern people here are not just from the northern part of the Dragon Country but include beauties from neighboring northern countries, like Russian and Ukrainian belles, and beauties from North and South Korea, naturally not forgetting those girls from Japan, who have contributed numerous romantic action films to the world.
Men, coming to such places, claiming it's nothing to do with beauties wouldn't be believed, yet today Qin Fang and Tang Cheng clearly had no such interest.
"You rascal... always causing trouble!"
Upon meeting, Tang Cheng rudely gave Qin Fang a scolding.
Unfortunately, although his strength was decent, the gap with Qin Fang was still evident. As a Quasi-Grandmaster level expert, if Qin Fang got hurt by a novice who just stepped into the Grandmaster level, that would be quite disgraceful.
"Eh, this incident really was out of my hands..."
Qin Fang naturally knew why Tang Cheng said that. So many people died this time, and though Tang Cheng tried to minimize the negative impact as much as possible, it still caused quite a bit of trouble...
Mainly because what happened wasn't a simple fight, it was an actual gunfight, with many casualties.
Even though checkpoints were set up at both ends of the road ahead of time to reduce the risk of the incident being exposed, the bullet shells littering the ground, damaged guardrails, and the cars exploding into flames were too conspicuous afterwards!
