The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

"Alright, I didn't have time to deal with him before. Now that he dares to come to my door, don't blame me for settling all the old scores with him."

A sinister look flashed across Lu Tianhai's face.

The attendant beside him quickly chimed in, "Someone like him, who dared to be so arrogant even knowing that the young master was coming, needs to be taught a lesson. It will also serve as a deterrent to those restless troublemakers lately."

This attendant, who was always by Lu Tianhai's side, naturally knew how formidable he was.

Although Lu Tianhai appears to be a charming and elegant man, he is ruthless when it comes to fighting, and anyone who dares to offend him usually suffers a terrible fate.

"Come on, come with me to see what that Master Yun is all about."

Lu Tianhai smiled contemptuously, stepped into the black market, followed by four burly men.

Although these burly men were all dressed properly in black suits and trousers, their bulging muscles stretched their suits a size too big. Their arms and thighs were also a size larger than the average person's, making them look like two walls when they stood there.

They were already very familiar with the location of the Jingtao Martial Arts School. After entering through a side alley, they found the group of people confronting each other there.

As they drew closer, Young Master Tianhai 870 waved his folding fan and said loudly, "Master Yun, Master Yang, you're both here?"

Fang Yun had already stopped his attack and found a railing to sit down and rest.

Upon seeing Lu Tianhai approach, Fang Yun made no comment, as if he didn't recognize the person in front of him at all.

Lu Tianhai suppressed his anger and walked over, forcing a smile on his face as he said, "This must be Master Yun, right? I've heard my men mention your name before, but I didn't expect to meet you here today."

Fang Yun remained seated for a while before casually remarking, "So what? I have no interest in getting to know you."

Lu Tianhai said, "I came here today to make friends with you, but I just want to tell you that I have already decided on your fate. And today I am going to take it away."

Lu Tianhai spoke of this matter as if he were discussing what kind of tea he would drink tomorrow, his tone indifferent and calm.

Chapter 575 Head-to-Head

Fang Yun didn't say much, but simply said, "If you kneel down and kowtow to me three times now, and then call me 'Grandpa, have mercy' a few times, I can forgive what you just said."

"If you do these things and then think, 'Get out of here,' then congratulations, you might still have a second chance at life."

"Good boy, you're looking for death!"

Several burly men following behind Lu Tianhai shouted angrily and rolled up their sleeves, ready to come over.

Lu Tianhai's smile vanished, and he said coldly, "Master Yun... Master, do you think you're something special just because those petty scoundrels gave you a nickname? I wouldn't stoop to killing someone like you; otherwise, I would have killed countless others."

Fang Yun said, "Since that's the case, why don't you show me what you've got? If you perform well, I might consider sparing your life."

"Humph!"

Even with his excellent self-control and attempts to maintain composure in front of others, Lu Tianhai couldn't suppress his anger. With a clap of his hands, he ordered several burly men behind him to deal with Fang Yun.

"You don't need to hold back against me. You'd better smash him like a watermelon."

"Yes!"

Several burly men in suits received orders and charged straight at Fang Yun, like four heavy trucks. Anyone who was touched or grazed by them would either die or be seriously injured.

Although these men were bodyguards, they were elites selected by Lu Tianhai from the special forces. Each of them had once led a special operations squad, and each of them had the ability to take down a small team.

If Lu Tianhai hadn't offered such a high fee, they might not have been willing to become bodyguards.

"Master Yun, I'll teach these juniors a lesson for you."

Yang Dongsheng, wanting to show that he was in this situation with Fang Yun, rushed over without hesitation. With a quick hand gesture, he conjured several small fireballs and slapped them at the group.

This thing is of little use to Fang Yun, but it is very useful to these ordinary people.

Then, flames erupted from the bodies of those men, but the burly men seemed completely oblivious, simply slapping at them. Even as the flames scorched a patch of their skin, they didn't utter a single sound.

"A sneak attack from behind!"

These burly men had all been through countless battles and had suffered similar injuries countless times. However, being ambushed had enraged them, and when they saw that it was Yang Dongsheng, they charged at him without thinking.

Yang Dongsheng sensed the intense killing intent and thought to himself that something was wrong, so he tried to run away. However, the others were obviously much faster than him, and they caught up to him in no time.

Yang Dongsheng was anxious and was thinking about how to dodge when Fang Yun suddenly appeared and punched the two men head-on. The two burly men were sent flying backward like kites with broken strings, blood splattering in the air.

"This... how is this possible? Isn't he a practitioner of magic? How can his external martial arts be so powerful as well?"

Almost simultaneously, this question arose in the minds of everyone present.

"Could it be a dual cultivation of magic and martial arts?"

A look of displeasure appeared on Lu Tianhai's face. He himself practiced magic, so his body was not as strong as that of a martial artist, which was why he chose a few strong men as bodyguards.

They can act as henchmen in normal times, and also protect themselves when casting spells.

However, if the opponent is skilled in both martial arts and magic, it will be very difficult for me to deal with them. Once they can get close, I will have almost no chance of defeating them.

"We must fight quickly!"

A thought flashed through Lu Tianhai's mind, and then he took out a dark blue, fist-sized bead from his pocket. You could see that the inside of the bead seemed to be surging with ocean waves.

"That's the Heart of the Ocean!"

Yang Dongsheng, being well-informed, recognized the item at a glance. Legend has it that the Heart of the Ocean is the treasure of the Lu family. Once used, the Sea Tomb Formation it can form can trap experts two levels higher than it.

Those with low strength will be directly swallowed up by the mechanisms within the formation, unable to escape, hence the name "Sea Tomb".

Wang Lin and Qin Shan breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lu Tianhai finally make a move. Since he had even released the Heart of the Ocean, Fang Yun was probably not far from death. It would save them from jumping around here and bothering (Qian Zhao's) people.

"If that kid had listened to my advice before, I might have put in a good word for him with Young Master Tianhai, and he could have become our henchman, enjoying wealth and luxury. Why did he have to be so arrogant?"

"This is the end he deserved. He doesn't know how to respect people. This is a profound lesson for him," Qin Shan said dismissively.

Qin Hongmu, Yang Dongsheng, and the others looked very serious and turned their gazes toward Fang Yun.

Fang Yun is their only pillar of support now. If Fang Yun really falls, they will also suffer a terrible fate.

Therefore, their hearts were clenched in their throats at that moment.

Chapter 576 A Shocking Blow

"Oh no, once his formation is fully completed, we're really doomed."

Yang Dongsheng's face turned pale. He had thought that Fang Yun would take advantage of his spellcasting to stop him, but Fang Yun remained standing there, looking indifferent and watching the show.

Seeing this, Yang Dongsheng couldn't help but wonder if Fang Yun had never seen the Heart of the Ocean or Lu Tianhai's reputation, which was why he was so careless.

With the situation now critical, Yang Dongsheng had no time to think. He had no choice but to rush towards Lu Tianhai without regard for the consequences. He didn't expect it to have any effect, but at least he could delay Lu Tianhai for a little while.

However, although Yang Dongsheng reacted quickly, he was ultimately a little too late. Lu Tianhai's strength had improved again, and his Imprisoning Sea Formation was now complete. Everyone present seemed to have been thrown into another dimension.

In the blink of an eye, they felt completely cut off from the outside world. The entire road, spanning tens of meters in diameter, transformed into a vast blue area, with the blue seawater above emitting a deafening roar.

This is the Prison Sea Formation; even a Celestial Master would find it impossible to escape.

"Excellent! I didn't expect Young Master Tianhai's Imprisoning Sea Formation to be even more exquisite than before. With such a formation, what are we afraid of, some Tom, Dick, or Harry?"

Looking around at everything, Wang Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Qin Hongmu tried to rush out several times, but was pushed back by the surrounding blue seawater.

Although he knew these weren't real seawater, when Qin Hongmu took out his longsword to stab them, the blue walls remained completely undamaged, just like blue water droplets.

"Master Yun?"

Seeing that Fang Yun still seemed indifferent, Yang Dongsheng clapped his hands and quickly pulled out all the talismans he had hidden away, which he had originally saved for last resort to save his life, but now he had no choice but to use them all.

"Divine fire ignites the sky!"

Yang Dongsheng shouted, and immediately the ten talismans ignited simultaneously, then combined into a towering pillar of fire that flew directly toward Lu Tianhai in the distance.

"Hmph, the light of a firefly dares to compete with the brilliance of the moon!"

Lu Tianhai stomped his foot, and the fire pillar, several meters long, was instantly submerged by an even larger wave and disappeared without a trace.

"This……"

Yang Dongsheng hadn't expected Lu Tianhai to be so powerful. He had thought he could cause him some trouble, but to his surprise, Lu Tianhai hadn't even made a ripple. This left Yang Dongsheng somewhat frustrated.

"Yang Dongsheng, it's been years since I last saw you. Your strength has gotten worse and worse. I think Guangling won't need someone like you anymore."

Wang Lin quickly chimed in, "Young Master Tianhai is absolutely right. This Yang Dongsheng is not only weak, but he's also seized a considerable amount of property. The worst part is he's unruly. Such a person..."

Wang Lin was halfway through his sentence when Lu Tianhai said, "Then after Yang Dongsheng dies, how about you take care of his possessions?"

Wang Lin was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly, saying, "If Tianhai is more capable than me, then I will definitely help you see these properties!"

Wang Lin was quite eloquent and knew what Lu Tianhai wanted. Anyway, Yang Dongsheng's business was huge, and even if he had to hand over 80% of it, he would still have made a profit.

Yang Dongsheng was furious upon hearing this: "Lu Tianhai, Wang Lin, you have gone too far! If I, Yang, hadn't been injured, I would have torn you to pieces!"

Before Yang Dongsheng could finish speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Wang Lin sneered, "Yang Dongsheng, you should start thinking about how much longer you can live!"

“Young Master Tianhai, I think you don’t need to bother with this person. I will take care of it for you.”

As Wang Lin spoke, he glared menacingly at Yang Dongsheng, a dark light emanating from his hand as he walked. This was his unique skill; a single palm strike would cause someone to die from poisoning.

Although Yang Dongsheng continued to shout angrily, he was exhausted, and the pain in his body made it difficult for him to muster any strength.

Qin Hongmu looked at Yang Dongsheng's appearance, then glanced at Fang Yun. He wanted to call Fang Yun to come and save him, but he kept his mouth shut.

These people don't even know who's good and who's bad, so how can they expect to save others?

As Wang Lin got closer and closer to Yang Dongsheng, Qin Hongmu finally couldn't help but make a move, since Yang Dongsheng had at least indirectly protected her just now.

At this moment, Fang Yun suddenly flicked his finger, and an invisible force struck Wang Lin's chest. Wang Lin coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
