The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Yang Ke smiled wryly and said, "That's precisely why we invited you here, knowing our shortcomings. We're just waiting for you to show your skills. If you have any advice for us, please just say so."

Upon hearing this, Long Qing did not immediately say anything, but instead picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.

Fang Yun watched from the side, only chuckling lightly without saying much. He also wanted to see what insightful advice Master Long might have later.

As far as he knew, this Master Long could indeed be considered a key figure in Guangling martial arts. According to the calculation method of the Feng Shui lineage, he was probably at the mid-stage of the Bigu (a Buddhist practice).

Such a level would be more than enough for an ordinary person, but it was far from enough for Fang Yun; he was only good for one move.

"Mr. Yang, let me put it this way: the reason why your bodyguards are so strong is because they have trained their physical strength to a certain level."

"But how strong can the body be? Can it really be harder than steel and stop bullets?"

"And what I'm talking about are those masters who have mastered magic, who can mobilize another kind of power in nature for their own use. By condensing their true energy, they can temporarily make their bodies harder than steel. Tell me, how do you fight such a person?"

Sure enough, Yang Ke and the others gasped in shock upon hearing this. Xiao Gang said, "I've heard such legends before, but only one in a thousand can cultivate true qi. Without a master to guide you, it's even more impossible."

"I once saw someone in the army who used true qi on a small scale, but that was already very powerful. If you weren't an experienced person who knew how to use techniques, you wouldn't be able to beat him."

Hearing this, Yang Ke was even more shocked and said, "Master Long, if what you're saying is true, if that person is really a martial artist who has cultivated true qi, then does that mean I don't need to even consider resisting and can just run away?"

Long Qing said, "What's the rush? I'm here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Long Qing raised his right foot, leaving a footprint several feet deep on the hard cement ground.

"This... Master Long, have you also cultivated true qi?"

Yang Ke and the others stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief. Even though they were considered elite special forces soldiers, facing such a master was like asking someone to withstand bullets with their bare hands—there was no way they could win.

"Since Master Long has such strength, then we don't need to be afraid of anything at all. As long as you are here, I guarantee that person will not return alive."

Yang Ke realized what was happening and his face lit up with ecstasy.

He had been so worried about this matter that he couldn't sleep or eat for many days. Seeing that it was about to be resolved, the sense of relief was indescribable.

After saying that, Yang Ke waved his hand and shouted, "Come here, bring me the card I prepared for Master Long."

Immediately, a maidservant respectfully brought over a tray with a black gold card on it. Generally, those who can apply for this kind of card have no less than 500,000 in savings.

Fang Yun watched from the sidelines without saying much. If Long Qing could handle the situation, he wouldn't bother to intervene.

Anyway, I have no interest in opponents of this level.

Based solely on the description just given, it remains to be seen whether Long Qing can defeat his opponent.

Afterwards, Yang Ke, who had previously been exchanging a few words with Fang Yun, now focused all his attention on how to please Long Qing, since he now regarded Long Qing as his guardian angel.

As for the bodyguards, they all rushed to toast Master Long, claiming that they wanted to become his disciples and learn true qi from him.

But Master Long would always mysteriously say that this skill is 70% dependent on talent, and it's not something that's easy to learn.

With Long Qing's arrival, the tense atmosphere that had been building up completely disappeared. The entire porcelain industry, which had been actively preparing to defend itself, was now completely relaxed.

The drinking session lasted until three or four in the afternoon before it ended. By the time everyone had rested and woken up, it was already past seven in the evening, just a moment before the man came to take revenge.

Master Long simply went straight to the garden, because the man said he would personally cut off Yang Ke's head there.

Seeing how relaxed these people were, Fang Yun thought he should go along anyway, since they had invited him and he should take some responsibility.

Chapter 585 The Great Enemy Arrives

After waiting for a long time, Fang Yun still hadn't seen the so-called enemy arrive. Yang Ke and the people from the porcelain shop looked at each other, wondering what the reason was.

Long Qing remained seated in the center of the garden, as if he had known all of this beforehand.

However, he didn't say anything, but continued to sit in the same spot, occasionally picking up the tea on the table and taking a few sips.

After a long while, Yang Ke finally understood what was going on. He hurriedly went up to Long Qing and said, "Senior Long, I think that rat knew you were here, so he secretly ran away."

"I saw that he not only came, but he came very early. However, when he climbed over the wall and looked inside, he was so frightened that he fell down and didn't dare to come any further!"

Upon hearing Yang Ke's words, Long Qing's face immediately revealed a smug look: "You ordinary martial artists are naturally inferior. The fact that he was able to do this at least shows that he can see that I am also a martial artist who has cultivated true qi. Under such circumstances, he knows when to back down, so we can't say anything about him."

Although his tone was very calm, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him, and he appeared very magnanimous, this was where Long Qing's cunning and shrewdness lay.

This not only made him look good, but also showed off his generosity.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's only because Senior Long is here today. If it weren't for you, that scoundrel would probably be putting on airs."

Yang Ke's heart was filled with joy. This enemy had been stuck in his throat for many days, and he had been worried about him because he didn't know his strength.

But now it's clear that the other party is just a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong.

"I knew it. Why didn't he dare to stand up when I took over his casino? But now he's jumping out and making a fuss. He's just a clown, not worth mentioning."

Meanwhile, the bodyguards and defense personnel that Yang Ke had arranged all breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, they had heard Long Qing say that these True Qi martial artists were so powerful that they couldn't fight them. So, no matter how strong that person was, they would all get injured eventually.

"Hmph, I think he's just a clown, bluffing all this time. Otherwise, why hasn't he dared to show his face for so many days? He only dares to sneak up and ambush people. It's because that's all he dares to do."

Once someone said that, the others suddenly realized it too, and when they thought about the person's previous behavior, they also felt that it was indeed true.

If he were really that powerful, why would he have hesitated for so many days? If he truly possessed the strength he boasted about, he would have broken down the door and attacked directly.

Who would be so hesitant and reluctant to take revenge?

"Senior Long, how about this? You see, this person has run away in fright. Why don't we continue drinking? We didn't have enough fun before because we were worried about things tonight. This time, let's drink until we're drunk!"

After Yang Ke finished speaking, he turned to the butler and shouted, "Go and bring out my ten-year-old Shaoxing wine. Everyone who participated in the defense work today will get a share!"

Upon hearing Yang Ke's words, many soldiers shouted "Long live Boss Yang!" after all, Yang Ke was not usually this generous.

This kind of carved huadiao wine would never be shared unless a distinguished guest had arrived.

They could only smell the aroma of the wine, but could never taste it, which was indeed frustrating.

So when Yang Ke said that, everyone shouted and then ran like madmen towards the wine cellar. Although Yang Ke was heartbroken, he couldn't help but be happy at the moment, and after thinking about it, he didn't call them to stop.

At this moment, Yang Ke noticed Fang Yun standing in the crowd and casually asked, "Brother Fang, why don't we come together?"

As a very frugal person, Yang Ke began to regret inviting so many people. If he had known earlier that Long Qing and UI would solve the problem, he wouldn't have needed to call Fang Yun at all.

Moreover, he had given Fang Yun an extra silver card, and the thought of the 100,000 yuan inside made Yang Ke feel a pang of heartache.

But everyone is happy now, so it doesn't matter if there's one more or one less person.

"Never mind, Mr. Yang, I have something to do tonight, so I won't bother you any longer."

Fang Yun didn't want to participate in this kind of drinking party because it was meaningless to him.

Yang Ke didn't keep Fang Yun there either, letting him do as he pleased.

At this moment, Long Qing (of Qianqian) looked over and said, "Boss Yang, that young man has worked hard today, you can't treat him unfairly."

Yang Ke chuckled and said nothing more. The two then headed towards the banquet hall.

Seeing the Yang family members preparing to leave in twos and threes, Fang Yun felt a bad premonition rising in his heart.

He felt that things were not so simple, because he had not noticed any unusual aura rising from beginning to end.

There are only two explanations for this phenomenon. First, the person was indeed exaggerating and there was no real fluctuation of energy at all, so the person could not sense it.

Furthermore, this person hasn't even arrived yet, so we don't know if it's soft.

Chapter 586 Overjoyed

Fang Yun still leaned towards the second explanation. After all, according to the bodyguards' descriptions, that person could take down a special forces member in just a few moves. That record alone meant he was no easy opponent. The reason he didn't show up was definitely not out of cowardice.

At this moment, someone noticed that Fang Yun was still standing there and couldn't help but sneer inwardly, "Brother Fang probably feels embarrassed to take this money, after all, the person hasn't arrived yet and he hasn't even shown his skills."

"Yeah, but this money is really easy to earn. When will I be able to stand in the yard for two hours without doing any work and get this much money? I'll be so proud of myself."

As they chatted and laughed, they quickly reached the edge of the courtyard. The ordinary maids and servants who had been hiding earlier began to pop out.

Then, amidst the laughter and cheers, a voice rang out, instantly startling everyone and causing them to freeze in place.

"Yang Ke, get out here! I'm here to take your dog's life."

The voice was very deep, and it was unclear where it came from. However, this 880 tone seemed to have a magical penetrating power. Although it came from a very far place, it sounded like it was exploding right next to your ear.

This alarmed many people, and the bodyguards tensed up, watching their surroundings warily.

"Don't panic! Master Long is still here, what are you all panicking about?" Yang Ke stepped out from the crowd and glared at everyone.

"He came at the right time. Master Long's knife is still unsharpened. Today is the perfect day to see some blood."

Yang Ke's words immediately ignited the emotions of many people.

"Yes, let that scoundrel be used as a sacrifice for Senior Dragon!"

"If you've got the guts, get out here now!"

In an instant, the crowd was filled with excitement, as if they had been ignited, and they all shouted towards the night sky.

With Long Qing's backing, their fear vanished in an instant, replaced by a peculiar excitement.

This made them no longer afraid of the unknown challengers.

"You guys seem pretty fearless?"

Just then, a strong and muscular man suddenly jumped down from the top of the wall. This man was about forty years old, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and his muscles were very firm, like steel plates, with pieces embedded on them like steel.

"He's coming down!"

Many people were taken aback.

For some reason, the absence of the not-so-tall man in front of them made their hearts tighten.
