Chapter 3, Clover

Roger's half body fell heavily to the ground

With the internal energy that had been stored in the Dantian fully channeled to his legs, Fang Ling smiled and cheerfully said to Roger, "Brother Luo, do you have any instructions?"

After walking more than 100 meters, Fang Ling discovered a small corner on the map, and within this corner, there was a marked slope.

"The path of life? Are you sure?" Fang Ling did not step forward; standing two meters away from Roger, his voice remained calm and composed.

As Roger's half body was thrown back into the pit, Fang Ling's gaze turned forward, where, a hundred meters ahead, there was another turn.

Due to time constraints, although Fang Ling did not carefully study the practice method of the Qing Sha Palm, from the introduction on the first page, it is noted that the Qing Sha Palm is divided into nine levels. Once the first level is mastered, a single strike not only increases one's own power and attack strength by thirty percent but also allows the malevolent energy of the Qing Sha Palm to be transmitted into the body of the opponent

Moreover, at this moment, he wielded a knife with the intent to slay Fang Ling right here, completely unprepared for any counterattack from Fang Ling

If it were his own body that had to go this time, Fang Ling felt a chill at the thought of it

Fang Ling was well aware that this was absolutely not the time to argue with Roger, yet the thought of eliminating Roger in his heart grew even stronger.

Who is it that has made you so hostile towards me

Fang Ling gritted his teeth and stepped forward to the closest position. He looked around and saw no difference in the surrounding rocks, yet his heart was filled with apprehension.

According to the master's memory, this clover has been around for at least twenty years

Seeing that Fang Ling did not move, Roger pointed the knife in his hand towards Fang Ling's neck and said, "Hurry up!"

Seeing the clover in Fang Ling's hand, a faint smile appeared on Roger's face, and he laughed heartily, saying: "Kid, I didn't expect your life to be so tough!"

The position of the clover is only one meter away from the route indicated on the sightseeing map

Watching Roger contentedly place the clover he had just risked his life to obtain into the basket behind him, Fang Ling's heart trembled slightly

Fang Ling deliberately displayed a look of fear and continued to walk forward, while Roger, who was following closely behind him, stepped in Fang Ling's footprints as he moved ahead

"How refreshing, I ask Brother Fang to give me a straightforward answer!" In an instant, Roger changed his tone.

Not good, I have encountered a pitfall. In an instant, Roger channeled his internal energy into his feet, intending to leap into the air

Fang Ling nodded and said: "It's straightforward; all you need to do is answer one question honestly."

"You little brat, you dare to plot against me!" Roger's eyes widened, filled with anger and resentment.

Roger's medicine basket, Fang Ling naturally would not be polite, pouring the medicine inside into her own backpack, Fang Ling began to search Roger's pockets

This steel knife emanates a chilling aura, and the dark red stains of blood on the back of the blade reveal that it has claimed the lives of many.

"You brat, I will kill you!" Roger roared at Fang Ling in a fit of rage, feeling the excruciating pain radiating from the wounds on his limbs.

Clover, one of the medicinal materials for refining the Yang Pill, a ten-year-old clover plant is valued at over 200 taels of gold

Fang Ling looked at Roger, who had become half of his former self, and silently took a deep breath

At the very moment he retracted his arm, Fang Ling felt a chill on her own arm. Looking down, she saw that a piece of the sleeve of her outstretched hand had been cut off, though she did not know when it had happened

However, in the end, he quickly reached out his hand, grasped the clover, and with a strong pull, he yanked the entire plant into his hand

Stop

When Fang Ling kicked, Roger was already unable to counterattack. True to his reputation as a seasoned veteran, he retreated five steps in an instant.

Fang Ling followed the direction of Roger's finger and saw a clover, standing proudly atop a cliff, measuring one foot in height

This slide was indeed the correct route of the marked trail on the map. And Roger, who was following behind him, chuckled and said, "Kid, get up quickly and keep going."

Among the gatherers, there are rules; although they travel in pairs, whatever one collects, especially that which is obtained at the risk of danger, belongs to that individual

Determined in her heart, Fang Ling said with a smile, "Brother Luo, I accidentally slipped on a stone just now"

The bone is dislocated? Hehe, kid, then you just stay in ... ...

It is essential to take action in advance to eliminate him

Fang Ling gritted her teeth and, upon reaching the corner, deliberately did not move forward, but pretended to slip on her feet

"Kid, what are you doing! Making such a noise while walking, I could kill you right now!" Roger, standing behind Fang Ling, shouted with a brutal tone, laced with a hint of fear.

Before Roger could finish speaking, Fang Ling had already leaped up, channeling all his internal energy into his foot, and executed the most ordinary move of "Wind Sweeping the Clouds" to deliver a fierce kick towards Roger.

One must indeed be quite cautious; where should one take action oneself

As Fang Ling flipped through the Qing Sha Palm, he carefully observed Roger's two hands, which he had severed. He noticed that Roger's left hand was significantly more bluish than his right hand.

There is a clover plant over there, go and pick it. Roger's finger pointed to a spot ten meters away.

Roger possesses a cultivation level of the fourth layer of Qi Refinement, and in his eyes, Fang Ling is merely a dish on his plate. All his precautions can be said to be completely disregarded by Fang Ling in this bizarre secret realm environment.

He has already made up his mind that after completing these five steps, he will chop this audacious brat who dared to attack him into eighteen pieces

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Fang Ling's hand that was holding the clover, directly snatching the clover from her hand

Fang Ling's heart sank, and she thought to herself, could it be that Roger intends to take action against me here? If that is the case, I would have no choice but to deviate from the route and flee to a dangerous place

"Hmph, move forward quickly!" Roger glared at Fang Ling, and the steel knife in his hand waved menacingly in front of Fang Ling's eyes

That was close; if I had taken a wrong step, I might have been swallowed by this suddenly appearing thing.

Fang Ling walked forward while marking the locations on the tour map, simultaneously calculating the positions

Fang Ling nodded, which was quite similar to what he had guessed

Roger's earlier words further exposed his murderous intent towards him

After turning the corner, according to the markings on the tour map, there is a temple called Xianglong Temple. However, the current La Mountain has already become the La Mountain Secret Realm. Will this Xianglong Temple still exist

However, just as he leaped up, a sharp pain surged rapidly from his waist. When he looked down, he saw that his legs had already separated from his soaring body

The slope is right here!

He looked at Roger's ashen face, showed no hesitation, and with a swift stroke of his sword, he beheaded Roger.

From Roger, Fang Ling found more than 300 taels of gold notes, several pieces of broken gold, and a manual marked with the Qing Sha Palm technique

Just as Fang Ling was secretly plotting, Roger suddenly shouted

And that black hole appears quickly and disappears just as swiftly, vanishing in the blink of an eye, as if it had never existed at all

A typical case of killing without shedding blood

Although Fang Ling's voice was not loud, it sent chills down Roger's spine. After a brief hesitation, he pleaded loudly, "Brother Fang Ling, I was wrong. I beg you, I beg you to spare my life."

"... is the eldest son of the Chen family. He deliberately lured you into the Lasha Mountain to collect herbs. As long as I make you disappear in this secret realm of Lasha Mountain, he will give me one thousand taels of gold." At this moment, Roger spoke quickly, fearing that Fang Ling would not give him an easy way out

This time it was also luck; if it weren't for this map of Mount Lasha, I would surely have fallen victim to Roger's deadly hands. Neither I nor the master have any means to fight back against Roger's five levels of cultivation.

As long as I can escape a distance of one hundred meters, I am confident that I can lead Roger to the place where he will meet his demise

Fang Ling arrived by Roger's side like a flash of lightning, her long sword not employing any techniques, yet swiftly severing both of Roger's arms.

Having lost half of his body, he is completely finished

It seems that Roger has likely mastered the first level of the Azure Poison Palm.

The stone rolled more than 3 meters away and silently disappeared into a seemingly out of nowhere black hole

Fang Ling looked at the spot where the stone had disappeared and quietly estimated that the suddenly appearing black hole was only one meter away from the path she had taken and the route described in the *Atlas*.

Roger was momentarily taken aback. Just as he was about to speak, Fang Ling said, "Brother Luo, think carefully before you answer. I am not someone who gives people a second chance."

Fang Ling remained silent. After Roger finished shouting, she淡淡地 said: "I have heard that in the Lasha Secret Realm, there is a type of black ant that feeds on human blood. If a person does not resist, they will be gnawed down to nothing but bones, with not a shred of flesh left."

Fang Ling pretended to struggle to stand up, but just as he managed to rise halfway, he clutched his leg and said, "Oh dear, my bone is dislocated. Brother Luo, please come over and help me realign it!"

Although Roger lost half of his body, his cultivation at the fourth level of Qi Refinement remains intact. For safety's sake, it is best to first move him to a place of no danger

In his eyes, it was originally a being akin to a bug, yet it unexpectedly plotted against him just as he was about to eliminate it

Within these seemingly tranquil mountains and rocks lies an unknown number of dangers; perhaps if one is not careful for just a moment, one might...

Regardless of how this murderous intent has arisen, since you harbor such intent towards me, do not blame me for taking the initiative first

Thanks to this map of Mount Lushan!

In the more than twenty years of his previous life, Fang Ling appeared to many as a gentle and amiable person. However, only those who truly knew him understood that beneath his mild demeanor lay a heart that repaid kindness with kindness and vengeance with vengeance

bang

Although currently burdened with a debt of 3,000 gold pieces, Fang Ling is most interested in this Qing Sha Palm.

However, just as he had just steadied himself, he felt a heaviness in his lower body, and then his entire being sank downwards.

These five steps took only an instant, reflecting Roger's keen and agile skills

Eliminate him
