Chapter 506: Chapter 229: Nameless Island Master

Fang Shuwen suppressed the urge to act.

His gaze swept over the people in the room once more.

The Seven Fiends of the Dark Sea rarely formed cliques; the seven of them were a single entity, planning everything together.

Now, five of the seven were dead, so there should be two left.

These extra people were clearly the subordinates of the person they were about to go see.

Fang Shuwen simply stood up.

"Alright, I’ll go. Please, lead the way."

Although Shen Cangming was grief-stricken over the disappearance of his sworn brothers and sisters, he hadn’t completely lost his reason.

Ever since their arrival, there hadn’t been the slightest trace of panic on Fang Shuwen’s face.

Now they wanted him to come with them, but Fang Shuwen was even more eager than they were, showing no reluctance whatsoever.

’This... doesn’t seem right.’

He glanced at Fang Shuwen, his eyes suddenly turning sinister.

"The one we want is Luo Shuqing. What does this have to do with you?

"You should die here!"

The moment he spoke, he suddenly lashed out with his palm, aiming straight for Fang Shuwen’s vital points.

The power of this palm strike was immense. Fang Shuwen’s calm demeanor made him feel a sense of danger, so he held nothing back.

As he executed the Palm Technique, a mournful, sinister wind seemed to howl, and his chilling True Qi nearly froze the air solid.

This was Shen Cangming’s ultimate technique, the Yin Wind Abyssal Palm!

His Palm Power was fueled by pure yin True Qi. If it landed, a venomous, cold energy would invade the body, deciding life and death in an instant!

But no matter how vicious or deadly the Palm Technique, it had to hit its target to be effective.

Shen Cangming struck, but the space before his eyes suddenly emptied.

Fang Shuwen had vanished. Before Shen Cangming could turn, he felt a grip on his shoulder as an acupoint was struck, and his body instantly froze.

Before he could even register his shock, his Mute Acupoint was sealed as well.

Still reeling from the speed of Fang Shuwen’s attack, a sight unfolded before him that made his eyes burn with fury.

He watched as the head of the sixth brother, ’Throat Cutting’ Yan Wusong, was shattered by a palm strike without any warning.

Shen Cangming’s eyes bulged with rage. He opened his mouth to scream, but no matter how frantically he tried, no matter how desperately he circulated his True Qi, he couldn’t break through the acupoints Fang Shuwen had sealed.

After killing Yan Wusong with a single Demon-Suppressing Seal, Fang Shuwen didn’t pause for a moment.

He unleashed the Electric Light Divine Movement Technique, his feet seeming to ride on lightning.

In the span of a single moment, his figure weaved a path around the room.

With a fist here, a palm there, a finger jab, a claw strike... By the time he completed his circuit, the remaining men collapsed and died before they even realized what was happening.

Only then did Zuo Xuan and Zuo Hong manage to get to their feet, but they hadn’t even had time to draw their weapons.

Looking around, there was no one left alive... except for Shen Cangming.

"This..."

Zuo Xuan’s face was pale.

He had already realized last night that Fang Shuwen’s fame was well-deserved, which was why he had been so much more courteous to him today.

He had even come to sincerely rely on him, believing he could genuinely help their young miss return to Mi Yin Island.

But only now did he witness the true extent of Fang Shuwen’s Martial Arts.

Subduing Shen Cangming in a single move, killing Yan Wusong with a single palm.

A single circuit around the room, and everyone else was dead on the spot.

The gap in their power was simply beyond description!

Compared to him, the so-called peerless masters with world-shaking Martial Arts that he had once known suddenly seemed utterly insignificant.

Fang Shuwen scanned the number of people in the room. Including Shen Cangming, there had been sixteen of them.

He counted the people on the ground—fifteen in total.

The room had been packed with them...

Fang Shuwen opened the window and called out to Zuo Xuan, Zuo Hong, and Zhou Zhengze.

"Time to get to work."

With that, he took the lead and began searching the corpses...

It was hard to say whether this group was arrogant or just inexperienced.

In any case, they were carrying quite a bit of silver. After a quick search, they gathered more than two hundred taels.

And that wasn’t even counting the gold leaves they found on Yan Wusong.

Then, Fang Shuwen pointed to the corpses on the floor and said,

"Including the corpse of this member of the Seven Fiends of the Dark Sea, strip off four sets of clothes that match your own sizes.

"Then, throw all the bodies out the window."

It was only then that Zuo Xuan had a sudden realization.

"You... you guessed they would come, even before we arrived at this inn?"

"It was just a test."

Fang Shuwen was in a good mood and, for once, offered Zuo Xuan an explanation.

"Lu Ying’er is one of the Seven Fiends of the Dark Sea, after all. Even though she has the Disguise Technique, it was hard to guarantee she wouldn’t pull some trick we couldn’t detect.

"Furthermore, two of her accomplices are still on Nameless Island. If we don’t kill them, there’s always a risk of being exposed.

"So, having Lu Ying’er disguise the three of you was a ploy to lure the snakes out of their hole."

"But..."

Zuo Xuan’s mind was reeling. He couldn’t help but ask,

"What if... what if they hadn’t come?"

"If they hadn’t, it would have been a pity, but we still would have achieved our goal of slipping by unnoticed."

Fang Shuwen said,

"However, it would have meant a bit of trouble for us when we tried to leave Nameless Island tomorrow.

"After all, those two knew their sworn brothers and sisters were on this ship.

"The ship arrives, but the people are gone... The ship’s captain might not care if those people live or die, but the last two remaining members of the Seven Fiends of the Dark Sea certainly wouldn’t have let it slide.

"If we had only relied on the Disguise Technique, we would have definitely faced a very strict inspection when trying to leave by boat tomorrow morning.

"Therefore, the best-case scenario was that Lu Ying’er did plant a trick in the disguises, leading them right to our door."

Zuo Xuan froze. Thinking it through, he realized: ’If these people came, Fang Shuwen would kill them, toss them out the window, and no one would ever be the wiser...’
