The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

After saying that, Fang Yun extended his right palm close to his lips and muttered some incantations.

This stunned the others, who said, "Isn't this just like a monk chanting sutras? Is this kid praying to Buddha for protection?"

"Wow, this is the first time I've ever met someone like this. If we didn't have so much time to play with him, I'd love to see what this kid is up to next."

The people standing by the car watching Fang Yun had mocking looks in their eyes, and when Fang Yun lowered his hand, they laughed even harder.

"I told you so. After reciting the scriptures, the next step is to let go of your attachments and then start performing rituals to help yourself pass on to the afterlife..."

When the group uttered that word, a sudden heat rose in their chests, as if they had just drunk a mouthful of scalding hot liquor, making their stomachs feel a little uncomfortable.

After a while, they found that their chests were burning hot, as if someone was pressing a red-hot iron on them. When they could no longer bear it and tore open their shirts, they found that everyone had a dark gold "death" character printed on their chests.

Sparks were still flying from the character, continuously burning the surrounding skin until it turned charred black.

"This...this is..."

At this moment, all the thugs realized how powerful Fang Yun was. Some screamed and howled, while others hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to the ground.

"Immortal, please spare my life, immortal..."

The crowd howled and desperately tried to swat at the sparks, but to no avail. Soon, only a pile of ashes remained on the ground, which vanished completely with a gust of wind. It was as if these people had never existed.

"Brother Fang... isn't this a bit too much?"

Chen Xiaonan and Li Jiaying were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. They had never seen Fang Yun so fierce before. Even when facing the giant snake underground, Fang Yun remained calm and composed.

But this time, Fang Yun seemed to show no mercy at all.

"However, this group has a complex network of connections, involving many gangs here. Although I am not afraid of them, their large numbers and ubiquitous nature make them a troublesome group."

Fang Yun went over and untied the ropes from her children's clothes.

The two were originally filled with excitement and had a lot to say, but for some reason, when they saw Fang Yun's calm expression, they became somewhat timid.

........ .... ...

"What, did I scare you just now?"

Fang Yun also noticed the change in the two women and smiled faintly.

After a long pause, the two nodded slightly, a hint of doubt in their eyes.

"You must understand that no one can bully the people I, Fang Yun, want to protect. If anyone dares to cross the line and cause even the slightest harm, I will make them pay a hundredfold or a thousandfold."

"Brother Fang!"

Upon hearing this, the two women could no longer maintain their composure and rushed towards Fang Yun like swallows throwing themselves into his arms. Fang Yun could only smile helplessly and embrace them both.

"Look at you, why are you crying? Okay, stop crying, we're still in the street..."

As the three of them stood outside the candy store, cuddling and whispering sweet nothings, the store clerk dressed in a black maid outfit suddenly collapsed to the ground.

She and those thugs were from the same gang, and she had interacted with them before. When she saw them disappear without a trace, a huge fear filled her chest, causing her to collapse to the ground, unable to recover for a long time.

Chapter 538 Li Ren's Harsh Words

On this side, after Fang Yun left, Li Ren rushed to the defense hall to report the situation to Gu Tingfang.

At this moment, Gu Tingfang was also pacing back and forth, looking restless.

When she saw Li Ren but not Fang Yun, she was taken aback and stopped in her tracks.

"Where is Young Master Fang?" Gu Tingfang asked in confusion.

If Fang Yun had returned but Li Ren hadn't, she wouldn't have been so surprised, since she was well aware of the difference between the two.

“He said he had something to do and had to go out first.” Li Ren’s face showed disdain. “But in my opinion, he just ran away because he was a coward. Why make up so many reasons?”

"Li Ren, how dare you speak like that? Young Master Fang is a guest I invited to help the Gu family, not someone for you to slander, do you understand?"

Gu Tingfang said angrily.

He had already offended Fang Yun several times because of his family's affairs. If things continued like this, even if Fang Yun really wanted to leave, he would have no reason to keep him.

Li Ren seemed to have guessed that Gu Tingfang would say this, and calmly recounted what had happened before.

"Fang Yun is nothing but a paper tiger. He keeps talking about how powerful he is, but I don't think he has much real skill. Otherwise, why haven't we seen him make a move? If you don't believe me, you can call him and see where he is."

Li Ren stood in front of Gu Tingfang and spoke with righteous indignation.

Although Gu Tingfang didn't believe it, she still dialed the number with some skepticism, but Fang Yun didn't answer.

"How about that, Miss? I told you this person couldn't be trusted. In critical moments, it's only family who can be of use. If I hadn't insisted on going to save them, he probably would have stopped me and let them die."

When Li Ren saw Gu Tingfang's worried expression, he smiled smugly.

"Alright, I understand. Remember, what you said today is fine with me, but don't tell anyone else, okay?"

Gu Tingfang solemnly instructed. Li Ren nodded and said nothing more.

"Captain Li, something terrible has happened! One of our team members said he stepped on a landmine while inspecting the area, and half of his leg was blown off. You need to go and check on him right away!"

As soon as Li Ren stepped out of the house, one of his men saw him and immediately reported.

"Lead the way." Without hesitation, Li Ren quickly had him lead the way, and they walked together toward that area.

Soon, when Li Ren returned to the West Garden, he found that the remaining guards were standing at the garden gate, too afraid to go in.

"What's wrong? Why are you all huddled up like that?" Li Ren asked.

"Captain Li, it's too dangerous inside. Those people clearly planted some landmines when they left. If we're not careful, we might step on one."

"Do you see what that landmine looks like now?" Li Ren asked.

One person described it as: "It looks like a green sphere with a spring on it..."

Upon hearing this, Li Ren clapped his hands and said, "I understand. This is one of those pressure mines. As long as we go over it carefully, we should be fine."

"But he clearly didn't step on the mine when it was bombed."

"You must be mistaken. Okay, if everyone were as cowardly as you, we'd all be out of a job. I've studied these mines before, so I'm sure I'm not mistaken..."

Urged on again by Li Ren, a few people had no choice but to go ahead and take the lead once more.

Sure enough, the explosion didn't happen again. A smug look flashed across Li Ren's face as he said, "See? You did as I said, and there were no problems, right?"

But before he could finish speaking, a huge explosion rang out, accompanied by several screams, and some severed limbs were blown into the air.

"This……"

When Li Ren saw this scene, he was also somewhat surprised.

"How could this be? Isn't this a pressure mine...?"

A bystander said, "Captain, that guy didn't even step on the mine. It just exploded out of nowhere. We have no idea what happened."

Li Ren was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say. He could only tell his men to carefully leave the West Garden first and then make further plans.

Meanwhile, Gu Tingfang rushed over with his men after hearing the news. Upon seeing the carnage inside, he coldly asked, "What happened? Didn't you just say that group of people had left? Are you here to clean up the battlefield?"

Li Ren stammered and couldn't get the answer out. Gu Tingfang snorted and said, "None of you are going in. All of you, retreat to the guard hall and await my next instructions."

"Yes."

The remaining guards spoke listlessly, while Gu Tingfang was in a state of utter confusion, unsure of what to do.

Faced with an opponent lurking in the shadows, with whom she had never even crossed paths, Gu Tingfang was at a loss for what to do. She considered calling Fang Yun again, but worried that Fang Yun might have something important on his end.

"Sigh." Gu Tingfang sighed helplessly.

Chapter 539 Taking the Initiative

At this moment, Aunt Pei and the rest of the Gu family, like birds startled awake, rushed over from all directions.

But apart from Aunt Pei, the others were just ordinary family members who couldn't offer much help.

"Aunt Pei, you've arrived."

Seeing Aunt Pei arrive, Gu Tingfang felt somewhat relieved.

Although these servants usually eat food provided by the Gu family, they are not usually at the Gu family's residence. They may only appear when the Gu family faces a life-or-death crisis.

Aunt Pei was the only one who completely considered herself a member of the Gu family and was almost inseparable from Gu Tingfang.

This is because Aunt Pei had a deep relationship with the previous generation of the Gu family in her early years, and because she had no children and nothing to worry about, she stayed in the Gu family for many years.

The Gu family naturally knew that there was such a master protecting them, so they treated Aunt Pei with the utmost respect, as if she were their 19th elder.

"Girl, what happened?"

Aunt Pei had obviously also noticed the bloodstains in the West Garden, and Gu Tingfang didn't hide anything and told her everything.

Aunt Pei frowned upon hearing this.

"I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly, without giving us any time to react or make arrangements. I've also heard of that Black Viper's reputation; legend has it that he can snipe any target from several kilometers away."

"I cultivate Taoist magic, so I don't know much about their firearms and such, but our profession also has corresponding standards. If you want to fight a master like Black-bellied Serpent, you would at least have to be a newly initiated Celestial Master."

Aunt Pei knew that if she were hit by that powerful sniper bullet, she would be seriously injured even if she didn't die, and if the other party were to fire a few more shots, she wouldn't be able to fight back with her strength.

Especially if the other party is actually sniping from several kilometers away, then finding the other party will be very difficult.

“Miss, the best course of action now is to immediately construct defensive fortifications within the family compound. On the one hand, we must defend it so that they have no loopholes to exploit, and on the other hand, we should send assault teams to patrol the perimeter.”
