Chapter Seventy-two: Begging for Mercy
Kong Fang had always been displeased with Li Sen, who always acted like a senior brother, but since Li Sen hadn't provoked him before, he didn't want to bother. What Kong Fang didn't expect was that his tolerance made Li Sen think he could be bullied, and this time he even brought Yin Wanshui along to cause trouble here.
If he hadn't rushed back in time, once these two people discovered that they were not in the temple at all, after discovering that Zhao Yong was dead, the first suspect would definitely be him. After all, he had a grudge against Zhao Yong and was also absent from the temple at the same time.
Once it is confirmed that Zhao Yong was indeed killed by him, even if he grows wings, he will find it hard to escape the pursuit of the Zong clan.
There are countless strong men in the Zhong family, and Kong Fang has just set foot on the path of cultivation in the realm of soul calling. At present, his strength is really too weak.
Apart from Li Sen and Yin Wanshui nearly exposing his secret, another thing that Kong Fang could not tolerate was that the two were actually going to deal with his followers. If he hadn't just returned in time, Fang Tou would have been beaten into a pulp due to his unyielding nature. When beating a dog, one must consider its master; how much more so when it came to someone he had always regarded as a junior brother?
Even if it were an ordinary day, Kong Fang would not have let Fang Tou suffer such a loss. How could he do this to him when all of it was for keeping his secret? Kong Fang was truly furious.
Kong Fang struck out mercilessly, and although he didn't use the Ninefold Repeated Refining Technique to bring out two layers of power, even just one layer was much stronger than other Dao techniques. After shattering Li Sen's Golden Flame Avatar, Kong Fang's fists and feet all targeted Li Sen himself.
Fist after fist landed on flesh, the sound of "thud thud" was incessant, and Kong Fang was like punching a sandbag.
Li Sen was initially able to counterattack, but soon discovered that his attacks had little effect on Kong Fang's body, which was as hard as iron. His blows didn't harm Kong Fang, but instead left his own hands numb and aching.
And besides—
As Kong Fang's attacks became more and more frantic, Li Sen angrily discovered that he couldn't even fight back, let alone defend himself, and was completely being beaten down by Kong Fang.
Li Sen had thought of this situation before, but it was him suppressing Kong Fang's punches, not Kong Fang suppressing his punches!
Li Sen was so enraged that he almost vomited blood, but soon he really did. Although Kong Fang didn't attack his vital points, Kong's crazy attacks were not something his body could withstand, and soon he was covered in wounds, with bones broken all over the place. This was still because Kong Fang couldn't bring himself to kill him within the sect, otherwise he would have died long ago.
At first, Fang Tou was still excited and cheering in his heart, happy that Kong Fang had suppressed Li Sen. But as time passed, watching Kong Fang play with Li Sen like a bully playing with a child, hitting him however he wanted. Fang Tou's eyes slowly widened, his mind shocked beyond measure. This was the first time he saw Kong Fang take action, and the terrifying strength that Kong Fang burst out with made his heart tremble at the same time, also giving him a strong impact. This was the realm he had been crazily cultivating to reach all along.
Fang's breathing gradually became coarser and heavier, his eyes staring fixedly at Kong Fang's every move, straining to commit it to memory.
Yin Wanshui's expression changed from initial disbelief to shock, and at this moment, Yin Wanshui's face changed again. All other expressions on his face disappeared, leaving only fear. With Li Sen's strength, he was far from being a match for Kong Fang, let alone someone much weaker than Li Sen who could contend with Kong Fang.
"Isn't he only half a year into his cultivation? How can he be so strong when he doesn't even have the Fire Element Defense Technique?" Yin Wanshui swallowed hard, his body involuntarily trembling slightly.
At this moment, Kong Fang's previous words became extremely clear in Yin Wanshui's mind - "You'd better stay on your side obediently. If you dare to move against my followers, I'll settle the score with you later. Now if you say one more word, I'll make you come crawling and leave walking sideways, do you believe it or not?"
At that time, Yin Wanshui had Li Sen as his backing and didn't take Kong Fang's words seriously, and even shouted a few more sentences. But now looking at the powerless Li Sen, Yin Wanshui wished he could have endured it at the time and not said those two sentences afterwards.
Yin Wanshui, who was terrified in his heart, slowly backed away, preparing to escape.
"When I return to my own courtyard, can't Kong Fang still rush into my courtyard to deal with me?" Yin Wanshui comforted himself in his heart.
Just at this time
"Bang", Li Sen's body fell to the ground like a broken sack, rolling several times before lying still. The muffled sound made Yin Wanshui's body tremble unconsciously as he was about to escape, his heart suddenly tightened, and his eyes looked at Li Sen who had fallen softly to the ground with some fear. If it weren't for Li Sen's weak moaning in his mouth, Yin Wanshui would have suspected that Li Sen was killed directly by Kong Fang.
"Dare to lay a hand on my followers? I haven't settled the score with you yet, and you still dare to yell at me. What, do you think Li Sen can back you up or something?" Kong Fang looked at Yin Wanshui with a cold smile. "I previously advised you to shut up out of kindness, but this outsider who thinks they're above everyone else clearly looks down on my advice and insists on saying more. Now, you'll have to pay some interest for your actions."
Kong Fang walked over step by step slowly.
Yin Wanshui's face looked as if he had eaten a fly, and in his heart, he was angrily roaring, "Is that what you call advice? It sounds more like an order. If it were really advice, would I not know better than to provoke you?"
Yin Wanshui now thinks this way because he has seen Kong Fang's incredibly strong power, previously when Kong Fang didn't show his true strength if he really advised Yin Wanshui to wait aside, Yin Wanshui might instead look down on Kong Fang even more and insult him even more severely.
No matter where it is, strength is respected. Kong Fang's strength is stronger than Yin Wanshui, so his mentality will change.
"Kong Shidi, no, Kong Shixiong, I didn't hurt Fang Shidi after all, so let's not fight anymore." Looking at Li Sen who was lying on the ground like a dead pig, making weak groans, Yin Wanshui chose to yield. Yielding would only lose face, but not yielding would lose both face and internal energy, ending up like Li Sen, lying on the ground, only able to make painful groans.
Kong Fang didn't say a word, but just stared coldly at Yin Wanshui, his footsteps still steady and unhurried, step by step approaching.
"Junior Brother Fang, you see I didn't hurt you just now, right? Just beg Senior Brother Kong to not bother me again." Seeing that he couldn't persuade Kong Fang, Yin Wanshui immediately shifted his target to Fang Tou.
After the initial shock, Fang's pores suddenly relaxed and he felt extremely relieved. Previously, Li Sen and Yin Wanshui had looked down on him, calling him a lowly servant at every turn. They would often scold him or even physically assault him for a single disrespectful remark. If Kong Shixiong hadn't returned in time, Fang would definitely be the one lying on the ground instead of Li Sen.
Now, Yin Wanshui sees that he can't beat Kong Shixiong, so he immediately asks for his help to persuade Kong Shixiong. For this, Yin Wanshui even changed the way he addressed him, from a humble servant to Fang Shidi. This made Fang Tou coldly laugh in his heart, although he was simple-minded, but not stupid, and it was clear that Kong Shixiong wanted to assert his authority, so why would he persuade at this time?
"Cut the crap." Kong Fang suddenly changed his slow pace and quickened his steps.
"Ah!" Yin Wanshui only managed to let out a miserable cry before being struck by Kong Fang and sent flying, without even having time to deploy his Golden Flame Transformation.
Actually, Yin Wanshui didn't dare to use Golden Flame Transformation, after all, the previous lesson was still lying on the ground moaning. Yin Wanshui worried that the longer he persisted, the more severe his injuries would be.
