Obtaining Top Art on Family's Extermination Night

In an instant, the rain intensified, becoming a torrential downpour.

The figures in the rain grew more indistinct, hazy and barely visible.

Fang Shuwen actually quite liked the rain. He just didn't like being caught in it. He would much rather be nestled in bed with a book or sleeping soundly on a day like this.

But now, he could only look helplessly at his drenched clothes. The only consolation was probably...

"This time, at least I probably won't end up covered in blood."

His gaze pierced the Rain Curtain as he surveyed his surroundings.

There were many of them, but not more than he had expected.

They didn't charge him immediately. Instead, they closed in slowly. Their Body Technique was bizarre, giving the impression that they had completely merged with the rain.

It was as if they could use the downpour to make their movements even more elusive.

This reminded Fang Shuwen of the men in black Liu Hanyan had brought with her. Their Body Technique had been jerky and sporadic... 'Thinking back,' he mused, 'was it because they didn't have the rain to help them?'

'Night Rain Tower…'

Fang Shuwen mulled over the name, and a suspicion began to form in his mind.

This convinced him to hold back for a moment. He wanted to see what tricks this group had up their sleeves.

Just as the group closed to a distance of about ten meters, they stopped.

Then, each of them drew a short dagger from their waist.

The blades were hooked, their edges menacingly sharp.

The next instant, without any warning, they suddenly slashed their own wrists with the daggers!

"Huh?"

The sight left even Fang Shuwen utterly astonished.

'Self-harm before a fight?'

'What kind of tactic is this?'

'Are they trying to scare me?'

As he watched in fascination, he saw that it wasn't blood gushing from their wounds, but a crimson mist.

In the blink of an eye, the crimson mist enveloped their bodies as if it were alive.

Fang Shuwen watched, intrigued. He smiled and said to Miao Feichan,

"Those from the Central Domain are truly something else. Even their Martial Arts are one-of-a-kind."

Miao Feichan warned in a low voice,

"That blood mist looks sinister. Be careful."

Fang Shuwen considered her words and nodded. He reached into his robes and took out two Elixir Pills.

He gave one to Miao Feichan and popped the other into Fang Dabao's mouth.

Miao Feichan cupped the Elixir Pill in her palm, shielding it from the rain. Recalling her earlier suspicions, she swallowed it without hesitation.

Fang Dabao smacked his lips. To him, it wasn't as tasty as bamboo.

Seeing them take the Elixir Pills, Fang Shuwen's worries were put to rest.

Given the prowess of the Divine Pill Valley, Fang Shuwen had complete confidence in the Elixir Pills refined by the woman in white.

'As for myself… it's hard to say whether my Muscle Strengthening Scripture Divine Technique, at the Great Perfection Level, could withstand every poison in existence.'

'But my Twelve-Gate Golden Bell Shield, having reached Great Perfection, has long since granted me a body Immune to Hundred Poisons.'

'I could drink poison like wine and be perfectly fine.'

Having come to this conclusion, he decided not to stand by and watch any longer. The performance had gone on long enough; it was time to get down to business.

'As for pre-fight banter… there's no need. If anyone is left alive at the end, I can just capture them for questioning then.'

With a tap of his foot, he launched himself into the air, raising and then pressing down with a single palm.

Great Black Heaven God Palm—Vajra Tower Throwing!

Immense Palm Power coalesced in the torrential rain, forming a massive Palm Seal that descended from the sky.

It smashed down viciously upon the furtive figures in the rain.

However, the effect of the palm strike was far from what Fang Shuwen had expected.

'"It only killed four?!"'

Their Body Technique was uncanny. It was as if they could teleport through the rain itself; their movements were so erratic that most of them actually managed to dodge his palm strike.

This greatly surprised him. At the same time, several figures materialized out of thin air around his position.

With palm, fist, blade, and dagger, they all targeted Fang Shuwen's vital points.

Fang Shuwen's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corner of his mouth curled into a faint smirk.

'"Now this is getting interesting."'

He spun, pressing his palms together. Mercy Does Not Cross!

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH, WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!!

Beneath the Rain Curtain, Invisible Palm Power propelled the rain, making it fall in a seemingly endless, relentless torrent.

The figures in mid-air were forced to dodge before their attacks could even reach Fang Shuwen.

The Five Doctrines of the Night Rain Tower—ear, nose, eye, body, and mind—greatly enhanced one's five senses.

This allowed them to spot flaws in an opponent's Martial Arts in the blink of an eye.

Liu Hanyan had used this very ability, along with her Three-meter Red Silk, to penetrate his Mercy Does Not Cross and ensnare him.

The current situation was much the same. Some moved quickly, trying to escape the range of Mercy Does Not Cross, while others tried to exploit a flaw in the Palm Technique to get close to Fang Shuwen and deliver a fatal blow.

Two from the first group succeeded. They landed on the ground, wreathed in the blood mist.

As for the rest, they were all smashed to death against the ground by Mercy Does Not Cross.

Seeing a weakness is one thing, but seizing victory from it is another entirely.

Those who tried to break through Fang Shuwen's assault were simply too naive.

Another group tried to retreat, but the Palm Power suppressed their movements, slowing them down just enough to be struck.

With a single, successful move, Fang Shuwen had their measure. He could see that while their Body Technique was brilliant, allowing them to escape a certain degree of pressure, it only took a little more force to deal with them. In the end, they were no different from those reckless Jianghu people from the Northern Domain Martial World who didn't know when to quit.
