The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Of course, it's also possible that Fang Yun knows that the eldest young master of the Lu family would have to think twice before making a move against him.

“Brother Fang, don’t listen to his nonsense. Wang Lin’s meaning was very clear just now. He came here only because he has his eye on the location of Jingtao Martial Arts School, just like Yang Dongsheng’s martial arts school. He just wants to take it over.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianhai snorted without responding, then turned to Fang Yun and said, "Master Yun, to be honest, I greatly admire your strength. To have reached such a level at your age, you must be an exceptionally intelligent person."

“Although I am the eldest son of the Lu family, my other brothers are also very strong. Moreover, our Lu family’s retainers are among the strongest in the entire Guangling City, many of whom are experts in the late stage of the Bigu realm. I believe that you should be able to make a choice between our Lu family and the Jingtao Martial Arts School.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun glanced at him and said coldly, "What, are you trying to intimidate me by showing off your home?"

Lu Tianhai said, "I wouldn't dare. I'm just telling you a fact so you can make a judgment."

"Hahaha, Lu Tianhai, you're really ridiculous. What do you really think your Lu family is? Let me tell you right now, in my eyes your Lu family is nothing but a nobody. What I do is none of your business!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianhai's eyes flashed with hatred, and he said again, "Master Yun, you don't need to be afraid. Indeed, no one in our Lu family has the ability to pose a threat to you... But don't forget, you are a human being!"

“Our Lu family could form an action team even if we only have our own retainers. They have different strengths and different supernatural abilities. Even if you are not afraid, what about your family and friends? Can you protect them all by yourself?”

Lu Tianhai spoke slowly with a hint of mockery in his eyes and his head down.

Qin Hongmu was initially filled with indignation, but his expression changed upon hearing Lu Tianhai's words.

They had witnessed the power of the Lu family. With Fang Yun here, they could hold out for a while, but if the Lu family really wanted to retaliate, they would still be like meat on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

It's impossible for me to stay by Fang Yun's side forever.

“Young Master Fang, I think we should just let it go. Killing Lu Tianhai won’t do any good; it will only cause more trouble. The Lu family may not have any other skills, but they are first-rate at protecting their own.”

On the other side, Yang Dongsheng noticed that Fang Yun was in a bad mood and hurriedly spoke up.

Since he was able to thwart Lu Tianhai's arrogance, it was already a satisfactory result for him. Moreover, Lu Tianhai had activated the Heart of the Ocean and would need to recuperate upon returning. He wouldn't be able to cause trouble for at least a year.

However, if we really kill him, we will have a blood feud with the Lu family, and it will be very difficult to deal with a fight to the death.

Qin Shan, on the other hand, also spoke up: "Young Master Fang, you need to understand the situation. The strongest person in the Lu family is not Lu Tianhai. His father and the previous generation were half-step Celestial Masters. If you really do something to Lu Tianhai, you won't be able to withstand the Lu family's retaliation."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun burst into laughter and said, "So you mean that not only should I not kill Lu Tianhai, but I should also treat him to good food and drink and send him back?"

Although no one spoke, everyone understood the same meaning.

Lu Tianhai secretly smiled. Seeing that Fang Yun hadn't made any further moves for so long, he figured Fang Yun must know how formidable he was.

Chapter 580 Showing No Mercy

"Haha, I told you, you're just a country bumpkin who's luckily learned some martial arts and has a bit of strength. Even if I stood right in front of you and let you kill me, you really wouldn't dare to make a move, would you?"

Lu Tianhai straightened up again, his body which had been somewhat timid, and a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes as he looked at Fang Yun.

If Fang Yun lets him go today, and he goes back to recuperate, he will surely make a comeback. At that time, I won't be so careless and will directly summon a few of the family's retainers. Then Fang Yun will be at their mercy.

Just then, he suddenly saw Fang Yun shake his head, and then Fang Yun raised his finger and flicked a fireball the size of a marble at Lu Tianhai.

"You dare!"

Lu Tianhai was shocked. He had seen Fang Yun use this kind of fireball once before. Although it looked small, its power was like that of a small missile. If such a fireball was thrown at him, he would definitely die.

In his panic, Lu Tianhai ran desperately to the side, but the fireball was incredibly fast and soon caught up with him, then blasted him into a ball of flame.

"You...you actually dared to lay a hand on me!"

Lu Tianhai's eyes were full of disbelief and doubt. Although he had activated all the remaining small protective talismans in a short time, it was useless. Under the power of the huge flames, these protective techniques shattered instantly like paper.

Then Lu Tianhai was engulfed in flames, screaming repeatedly.

However, such howling did not last long, because the temperature at the center of the flame was as high as tens of thousands of degrees. If Lu Tianhai had not had some true strength to resist, he would have been evaporated in an instant.

"You...you killed Lu Tianhai?"

Yang Dongsheng and Qin Hongmu could not believe their eyes. Even though they had always hated Lu Tianhai's domineering nature, their cousin had never thought of killing him.

Firstly, it was naturally because they lacked strength. But the bigger reason was that they only wanted to salvage some of their disadvantages and didn't want the other party to bully them at will. However, they would never dare to kill him.

This would directly provoke a furious retaliation from the Lu family, and no one would be able to withstand such retaliation.

"So what if I killed them? What's there to be surprised about? If the Lu family sends anyone else, I'll kill them all."

Fang Yun said it casually, as if he were talking about something perfectly ordinary.

On the other side, Qin Shan saw Lu Tianhai, who had become a pile of charred ashes, and was so frightened that he trembled all over.

"You actually dared to kill Lu Tianhai... The Lu family will not let you off the hook, and your fate will be a hundred times worse than Lu Tianhai's."

Qin Shan smiled bitterly. With Lu Tianhai dead, all his previous ideas of gaining benefits by relying on the Lu family had vanished, and the Jingtao Martial Arts School no longer had a place for him.

Fang Yun only noticed that there was such a person when he heard Qin Shan speak. His eyes darted around and he said, "Didn't you always want to climb up to the Lu family? Were you very sad when Lu Tianhai died?"

"Alright, I see you've been pitiful here all this time, so I'll give you a chance. Go back and inform the Lu family, and tell them to come and collect your body."

Qin Shan was taken aback by what he heard. Just as he was about to speak, Fang Yun glared at him and said, "Why don't you get lost? Otherwise I'll have to change my mind."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shan dared not speak again. He stood up and ran outside at top speed. Once he arrived at the Lu family, he would embellish his story and the Lu family would give him a small reward.

"Fang Yun, Fang Yun, since you're letting me go, don't blame the Lu family for coming back and destroying you!"

Qin Shan's eyes held both resentment and relief.

At this moment, Yang Dongsheng walked over with a worried expression. He hadn't dared to speak just now, but now he had no choice but to speak.

“Master Yun, this Qin Shan is no good. If he returns to the Lu family, who knows what kind of rumors he’ll spread about you.”

"Moreover, if the Lu family finds out about this now, their retainers will definitely come over very quickly, and then we won't have much time to react."

Fang Yun said, "It's alright. If they dare to come, they'll have to pay the price. I'm more afraid they won't dare to come."

Fang Yun knew that if there were any discerning people in the Lu family, they would definitely weigh the matter carefully at this point. Once a family can continue for several hundred years, strength is one aspect, but more importantly, it is the judgment of the facts.

If they hear about Lu Tianhai's death, they will most likely send someone to investigate first, and then proceed with their next plan.

Therefore, Fang Yun felt that the probability of them arriving so quickly was low. The reason he sent Qin Shan was to let them know as soon as possible and to get them to send someone over quickly.

Otherwise, it's impossible for him to kill their family members and then go to their door to fight; that would be too arrogant.

However, if this matter is not resolved, Fang Yun is afraid that it will have an impact on Qin Hongmu and the others in the future, so it is better to resolve it as soon as possible. He doesn't want to keep worrying about this matter.

Chapter 581 Rebuilding the Martial Arts School

"Alright, I'll stay at your martial arts school for a while. If they dare to come, I'll take care of it."

Fang Yun glanced at Qin Hongmu, knowing that she had something stuck in her throat and dared not speak, so she took the initiative to speak.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Young Master Fang."

The subtle tension in Qin Hongmu's eyes vanished quietly.

Upon hearing this, Yang Dongsheng clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Young Master Fang is indeed a man of great righteousness and chivalry. However, my strength is too weak to trouble you any further. I need to go back and reorganize the martial arts school during this time."

Fang Yun nodded, understanding his current worries. Yang Dongsheng then bowed again and took his leave.

Soon, everyone else disappeared completely, and in the blink of an eye, only Fang Yun and his companion remained.

Qin Hongmu was about to express his gratitude when Fang Yun said, "I just told you that this matter should be kept between you and me. Don't tell any third party, otherwise it will only bring me more troublesome troublemakers."

Although Fang Yun was not afraid of people coming to seek revenge for 877, he was afraid of trouble, especially when there were waves of people who were impossible to kill completely. These were the most annoying.

"There aren't many people left in the martial arts gym now. I'll go arrange a guest room for them."

After returning to the martial arts school, Qin Hongmu personally helped Fang Yun choose a room. There were originally many rooms for disciples to rest in, but Qin Hongmu did not let Fang Yun stay there.

After all, the conditions there are limited, and many rooms are close together, so it can be quite noisy if there are people there.

"This room used to be where my father lived. He doesn't live here for the time being, so please make do with it, Mr. Fang."

Qin Hongmu opened a door, and Fang Yun glanced inside. He saw that all the furniture and equipment were complete, and the room was very clean, indicating that it was cleaned regularly (bjbd).

"Your father no longer lives here, yet you still keep cleaning?" Fang Yun asked curiously.

"Yes, that's because I'm afraid he might come at any time and I won't be able to get ready in time."

When Qin Hongmu said this, a trace of sadness clearly crossed his eyes.

Fang Yun understood what she meant, so he didn't ask any more questions and could only sigh inwardly.

"After everything you've been through today, you should go back and rest, otherwise your body won't be able to handle it. You don't need to worry about me; I'm not that particular about being refined."

"Okay, feel free to contact me if you need anything."

Qin Hongmu hesitated for a moment, then closed the door and left.

Fang Yun sat on the bed and relaxed, lying back. Although she hadn't exerted too much effort today, she was still a little tired from running around outside all day.

But after lying down for a while, Fang Yun sat up abruptly. He remembered that everyone at the Jingtao Martial Arts School had gone to find those professional assassins, and he had to take this opportunity to go and check it out.

If this matter can be resolved as soon as possible, it will put Gu Tingfang's mind at ease. Otherwise, the longer it drags on, the more troublesome it will become.

Then, Fang Yun opened the door and went out, intending to go and take a look at that place first.

Just as Fang Yun reached the east gate, intending to leave from there, he noticed someone speaking on the other side of the wall.

"You guys need to be careful later. Their place is practically empty right now, there's hardly anyone there. If we search carefully, we should be able to make a small fortune."

"Yeah, boss, you're really smart this time. I don't know where you got such important information. You even knew that all the people from the Jingtao Martial Arts School went out."

“I’ve heard before that their martial arts school charges high fees, and they probably also offer bodyguard services. There must be a lot of money hidden inside.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun knew that a few petty thieves were still eyeing this place. After all, there were hardly any people at the Jingtao Martial Arts Academy at the moment.

Fang Yun stood at the base of the wall, waiting for the men to climb over so he could get a good look at them.

Fang Yun had initially thought that there would be a dozen or so nimble men, but to his surprise, it took the other side a while to throw out a grappling hook before Fang Yun saw them slowly crawl over.
