The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Although no one knew why Bai Hansheng did this, the audience members consciously stood far away, afraid of being implicated in the aftermath.

If this were a legitimate tournament, Chen Xian would probably stand up and stop this behavior right now. But this is in an ancient tomb, and everyone here is already risking their lives.

Therefore, although Chen Xian was optimistic about Fang Yun, he could only shake his head and respect the rules set by the arena.

As for the other bigwigs, their expressions kept changing.

Chapter 464 Greatly Astonished

"Fang Yun, your good luck ends here. After you go down, I will have someone offer incense for you, after all, you are one of the few opponents who can make me use this move."

Bai Hansheng's voice was icy cold, and his whole body seemed to be covered in ice and snow, with ice crystals forming on his skin.

"Is that so? If you really think so, then you can try it." Fang Yun continued, unconvinced.

"Moreover, as far as I know, you can't just use this skill whenever you want. And from what I see now, you don't have a proper grasp of this power at all; you're just forcing it on."

"Even if I don't intervene, if you still force it, you'll probably die by your own hand."

"Hmph! Enough nonsense. I will send you to meet the King of Hell before you are seriously injured. So, it's all worth it to defeat your opponent."

Although Bai Hansheng showed no expression on the surface, he was a man who valued his reputation highly. In this situation, if he couldn't defeat Fang Yun, the reputation of his Bai family would probably be ruined.

On the contrary, Fang Yun looked completely calm and collected, as if the matter here had nothing to do with him.

Bai Hansheng could not wait any longer, otherwise the cold air would erode him. He rushed directly towards Fang Yun, and frost formed in the path he took.

It's easy to imagine that Bai Hansheng's move could freeze a person solid.

Fang Yun remained calm and stood firmly in place, but his eyes were fixed on Bai Hansheng with great interest.

The so-called Celestial Masters' Way is about having a greater understanding and experience of the power of nature than ordinary people. Whoever can better control the power of nature is the more powerful Celestial Master.

Clearly, Fang Yun wanted to glean some insights from Bai Hansheng's cultivation technique. Bai Hansheng truly lived up to his reputation as an unparalleled genius of the Bai family, achieving such results with just a tattered cultivation technique. He was certainly proud of himself.

If Bai Hansheng were to receive training from Fang Yun, he might very well develop a skill.

However, it's too late to say all this now, because for Bai Hansheng's technique to work, the opponent must be weaker than him, or even have no resistance to the forces of nature.

Therefore, Bai Hansheng was able to transfer all the cold energy, which he couldn't control, into the other person's body, thus causing harm.

However, what Bai Hansheng didn't know was that his opponent was not only no weaker than him, but also much stronger than he had imagined. Once this move was used, he would inevitably suffer the backlash.

"Why is this kid still not dodging or avoiding? This isn't like the previous times when he had such good luck!"

Seeing Fang Yun's appearance, everyone in the audience couldn't help but feel worried for him.

As for Huang Ying and the others, although they had previously had great faith in Fang Yun's strength, they now felt a growing sense of unease. After all, while Fang Yun was powerful, Bai Hansheng was also a renowned genius who had been famous for many years.

It's really hard to say who is stronger between these two.

Watching the two fight, Ke Qiang clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Good, good! Fight on, fight even harder!"

Ke Qiang knew that this trip had eliminated two people for him. Although Bai Hansheng survived, he would need to recuperate at home for several months.

Therefore, this period of time is the best opportunity for me to suppress the Bai family.

Gu Tingfang's expression was also quite complicated. The old woman next to her leaned down again and said, "Miss, now is the time for you to make a decision. If you don't step in to save him, Fang Yun will most likely die on the stage."

"In that case, our subsequent plans are out of the question. The Gu family will still not gain any advantage from these powerful enemies."

Gu Tingfang nodded upon hearing this, but her expression was still full of hesitation. She said, "That's true, but if we intervene, we'll offend the Bai family."

“I understand Bai Hansheng. 787 is very concerned about his reputation. If he loses face in this battle, he may harbor resentment towards our Gu family and seek revenge.”

The old woman said, "So what? Miss, we're thinking about the long term. Besides, even if we don't offend him today, there will be plenty of opportunities for friction in the future. Are we just going to play this stalemate forever? We'll never grow into a top-tier family that way."

"If we can save them today, then our Gu family will have endless possibilities in the future." The old woman's words were very touching, and Gu Tingfang was clearly moved by them, but he just couldn't make a decision.

"Miss, if you don't give the order, that boy will die!" In the end, the old woman's voice became more and more urgent, but since the young lady had not given the order, she dared not act on her own.

Gu Tingfang gripped the railing of her stool, the word stuck in her throat, unable to escape.

At this moment, the stage was shrouded in a white mist, and no one could see what was happening inside.

Chapter 465 A Missed Opportunity

"Bai Hansheng, is it? I have to admit, you do have talent," Fang Yun said calmly. "Here's what I'll do: I'll give you a chance. Now, disperse your inner energy and apologize for your rash actions, then I might reluctantly offer you some guidance."

When Bai Hansheng heard Fang Yun say that, even though he was freezing cold, he almost burst out laughing.

“Kid, I really admire your courage. But sometimes, courage isn’t a good thing for a person. Like now, it can cost you your life.”

As he spoke the last word, seven or eight icy spikes suddenly appeared on Bai Hansheng's body and rushed directly towards Fang Yun.

Although these weren't actually solidified ice spikes, the sheer gas was enough to make one feel unbearably cold. And with Bai Hansheng's enhancement, these ice spikes were even sharper than knife tips.

"Boy, go to hell!"

As the ice spike was about to pierce Fang Yun's throat, Bai Hansheng couldn't help but curl up a smile. Although he had suffered great losses this time, he was still the victor who stepped off the stage in the end.

As long as you're the winner, it means it was worth it.

However, his smile didn't last long before it abruptly vanished, because he discovered that his ice spike had stopped abruptly just one centimeter in front of Fang Yun's throat, and no matter how much he tried to push it forward, the ice spike simply wouldn't move.

"I told you, you know far too little about the forces of nature; you have no idea how to control them!"

As he spoke, Fang Yun suddenly shouted, "Rise!"

But then they saw that all the ice spikes suddenly changed direction, their spears pointing directly at Bai Hansheng on the other side.

Bai Hansheng's expression suddenly changed, not knowing what was going on, and he kept calling out, "Come back, come back."

“It’s no use. Here, nature considers itself my master, and I am the king of nature.”

Fang Yun's indifferent gaze made Bai Hansheng feel a sense of fear for the first time.

The icy spikes that they had painstakingly activated were now in Fang Yun's hands like obedient children, easily turning them around.

All of this points to one thing: Fang Yun's strength is unfathomable and far surpasses his own.

"This... I've only ever heard of celestial masters being able to freely control nature. Could it be that you are...?"

Bai Hansheng was unable to utter those two words. Although he had already come to the answer deep in his heart, he couldn't believe it was true.

“I told you, if you admit your previous offense and apologize, I can give you a few pointers. But you’ve missed that opportunity.”

As soon as Fang Yun finished speaking, Bai Hansheng saw a hint of resentment in his eyes, but more than that, he felt loss and pain. He was a person who desperately craved power, and to have such a great opportunity slip away was tantamount to losing his life.

"Alright, you haven't come away empty-handed today. For example, you've managed to save your life. Otherwise, the life force consumed by that ice would have cost you twenty years of your lifespan."

Fang Yun didn't say anything more. Instead, he waved his hand, and the eight chilling ice spikes disappeared into the air, while the layer of mist that had covered the arena vanished.

Bai Hansheng's face was deathly pale, and his pupils were devoid of any light.

"I lost."

After a moment of confusion, Bai Hansheng managed to utter a few words before bowing his head and slowly walking off the stage.

"How is this possible? Am I confused or seeing things?" Many people exclaimed in surprise, shouting that they couldn't believe it.

If Fang Yun had collapsed on stage, barely alive, and survived only because of his incredible luck, that would have been acceptable. But for him to make Bai Hansheng on the other side concede defeat was going too far.

"Hey, Young Master Bai, what's going on? Everyone just bet on you to win."

"Young Master Bai, you didn't lose on purpose to tease us, did you?"

Many people noticed that Bai Hansheng's complexion was off, as if he had been seriously ill, and wondered if something had happened to him.

Unexpectedly, Bai Hansheng turned around and glanced at these people, coldly saying, "Anyone with doubts is welcome to come up and discuss this with me!"

Bai Hansheng's words were anything but polite, and his chilling aura showed no signs of diminishing, immediately silencing many people.

"Hmph, what's with the swagger? He still got knocked off the stage by someone." Many people secretly mocked him.

At this moment, Fang Yun, who was standing on the arena unharmed, naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.

"This young master Fang is quite the expert. He beat Bai Hansheng like a child, without even wrinkling his clothes."

"Could this young master be a hidden master somewhere? Otherwise, how could he possibly possess such strength?"

While many people were discussing it, a figure quietly tried to squeeze out from the crowd.

Ono's voice suddenly rang out: "Brother Tang, we're waiting for you to give us directions later. Where are you going now?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan's expression immediately changed.

Chapter 466 The Light of the Arena

"Brother Xiaoye is joking. With Young Master Fang leading the way, what do you need me to do here?"

Tang Chuan now just wants everyone to ignore him and go as far away as possible.

"That's true, but didn't you promise to have a match with Brother Fang? Why don't you wait for him?"

"No more, no more. Young Master Fang has already fought two matches today, he must be very tired. How could I possibly disturb him at this time?"

Tang Chuan doesn't even dare to see Fang Yun now, so how could he possibly dare to mention this competition?

If he had previously harbored a sliver of hope, thinking Fang Yun was merely lucky, then Bai Hansheng was a man who could crush him with a single finger. How strong would Fang Yun be if he defeated Bai Hansheng?

At that moment, Tang Chuan couldn't care less about Liang Gui, his sugar daddy. He decided to make a quick getaway to avoid Fang Yun settling scores with him later, which would leave him in a very difficult situation.

Ono was too lazy to make things difficult for him any longer, so she chuckled and let Tang Chuan leave.

　790 On this side, Chen Xian saw the result on the stage. Although a hint of shock flashed in his eyes, he quickly adjusted his expression.

Then, he stood up and shouted to the crowd, "The second round is now over, and this Young Master Fang is still the winner. Does anyone else have a challenge?"
