The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Liu Xuanfeng waved his hand and said, "Even if you two hide here, it would be easy for me to kill you."

"However, in order to prevent this matter from being leaked, I have no choice but to sacrifice another beautiful life to accompany you both."

Liu Xuanfeng looked at Qin Hongmu again, shook his head slightly, as if he was somewhat regretful.

"I'm curious about who these two people are, and why you insist on killing them?"

Just then, a voice came from outside the courtyard, and then everyone saw a young man in his early twenties push open the door and walk in.

"Fang Yun, it's you!" Qin Hongmu exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the newcomer.

Then, Qin Hong ran towards Fang Yun. Upon seeing this, Liu Xuanfeng's eyebrows turned cold, and he actually gathered a basketball-sized ice ball in his hand, throwing it directly at Qin Hongmu's back.

As the ice ball passed by, the wild grass below was instantly frozen and withered, which shows how powerful the ice ball was.

"Watch out!" Wu Gan didn't want to lose Qin Hongmu like this, so he shouted and then grabbed Qin Hongmu's wrist, suddenly dodging to the side.

The ice hockey puck was incredibly fast, almost grazing Wu Gan's arm as it flew past, hitting a wall at its maximum speed, instantly covering it with frost.

"This……"

Seeing this, Wu Gan could only click his tongue in amazement. If this hit someone, they would be frozen into an ice sculpture. If Liu Xuanfeng really made another move, he wouldn't care about Qin Hongmu's life or death.

"You, Liu Xuanfeng, after all these years, my skills are almost gone, but you have improved more and more. Liu Xuanfeng of the Frost Hand is indeed as powerful as ever."

"However, since you have cultivated such skills, why do you still bully us old people, women and children? Does that suit your status? Wouldn't it make you a laughingstock?"

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

Liu Xuanfeng laughed loudly upon hearing this: "Old woman, stop with your clever words. If you had such a compassionate heart, my people wouldn't have been tortured to death by you back then. This debt must be settled."

"Of course, I, Liu, am not a cruel and bloodthirsty person. Young lady, if you can join my sect and declare that you will never leave the sect again, I will spare your life, how about that?"

Liu Xuanfeng looked at Qin Hongmu, her expression clearly carrying a hint of threat. If Qin Hongmu didn't agree, she would only face death.

Qin Hongmu stood there, hesitant and unsure of what to do in the face of Liu Xuanfeng's domineering attitude.

"Hey, I don't care how happy you guys are talking, but did you ask for my opinion before you tried to lay a hand on Miss Qin?"

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, everyone realized that someone had just entered, and they stared at him as if he were an idiot.

Could it be that this young man actually thinks he has any right to speak?

Chapter 608 Frost Hand

"Young Master Fang, you'd better leave quickly. I feel this person is even stronger than Lu Tianhai from before, and they outnumber you. You'll only suffer losses if you keep fighting." Qin Hongmu suddenly grabbed Fang Yun's wrist and said with a worried expression.

“Young Master Fang, although we have only known each other for a short time, you are truly a very good person, and I appreciate your kind intentions.”

Qin Hongmu turned his head away, suppressing his immense grief and reluctance.

As Liu Xuanfeng watched, he sneered, "Kid, you should know that while hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scenarios happen often, the most important prerequisite is that you are a hero. If a coward insists on showing off with '897,' he will only end up losing his life."

"Oh? I can tell you're quite confident? I wonder how you compare to Lu Tianhai?" Fang Yun said calmly.

"Lu Tianhai, who is that?"

Liu Xuanfeng comes from the southwest region and rarely comes to Guangling, so it's normal that he doesn't know Lu Tianhai.

A helper beside him said, "I heard he's the son of one of the top tycoons in Guangling, he's got quite a background."

Liu Xuanfeng immediately burst into laughter: "Damn, I thought it was someone important, but it's just a rich kid. This kid doesn't think he can scare us by bringing out a rich second-generation, does he?"

"Kid, let me tell you, sometimes money is useless. In the face of absolute strength, what use is all the money you have? If I want to kill you, you'll just be a fresh corpse."

"Is that so?" Fang Yun remained noncommittal. "If you really think that way, you're welcome to come up and try. But let me make it clear beforehand: once I make a move, I won't hold back. You'll have to ask your men to collect your corpse."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xuanfeng laughed so hard that tears almost came out. He shook his head and sighed, "This is the first time I've met such a stubborn kid like you. Fine, considering you don't have long to live, I'll let you say a few more words."

Liu Xuanfeng wasn't going to waste any more time. Cold light began to condense in his right palm again, showing that he intended to use the ice bullet again.

Seeing this, Fang Yun sighed, "It's still too backward. You can only make an ice bullet by relying on the power of talismans. By the time you finished casting the spell, I had already eaten."

As soon as he finished speaking, two fireballs the size of marbles appeared on Fang Yun's fingertips.

Upon seeing this, Liu Xuanfeng's expression changed drastically, and he asked in a shocked voice, "Who are you?"

The fact that he could see the talisman hidden in his sleeve was enough to conclude that Fang Yun was definitely not as simple as he appeared on the surface, and might even be a fellow practitioner of feng shui and magic.

On the other side, the old woman, who had just looked dejected, suddenly perked up and asked, "Hongmu, is your friend also from the southwest? Or has he also studied feng shui?"

Although she asked this question, the old woman knew that even if Fang Yun knew some feng shui techniques, at his age he probably only knew a few fancy tricks. All the powerful sorcerers had spent a long time honing their skills before they became truly proficient. Someone like him was just a beginner.

Upon hearing this, Qin Hongmu could only stammer, "This... I'm not really sure about this either."

At this moment, Chen Xuanfeng reacted, snorted, and said, "Boy, don't think you can act all high and mighty just because you've heard a little bit of hearsay. Strength isn't something you can just talk about. Since you dare say my techniques are weak, then I'll let you taste their power..."

Chen Xuanfeng was interrupted for a moment and was still wondering, but then he suddenly thought, "Even if I haven't eaten pork, I've seen pigs run, right? This kid might have heard some rumors and started talking nonsense."

If I were to be wary of this, I would truly be a laughingstock.

Fang Yun said calmly, "I really don't want to take action unless it's absolutely necessary. If you really want to try, I might as well play along, but don't regret it later."

"Regret?" Chen Xuanfeng pointed to himself. "Are you talking about me? In my entire life, I, Chen Xuanfeng, have never regretted anything I've done!"

At this, Chen Xuanfeng shouted sharply, and two long ice cones suddenly shot out from his sleeves.

Since Fang Yun had already seen through his magic, Chen Xuanfeng decided not to hide it anymore. His sleeves were full of such talismans, just for the convenience of casting spells later.

At this moment, Chen Xuanfeng activated five or six of the talismans directly, just to let Fang Yun, who was 1.3, experience the power of them.

As soon as someone else produced the ice spike, the old woman exclaimed in surprise, "This is Chen Xuanfeng's famous move, the Long Hammer Thrust! Because of its long length, it basically cuts off the front, and the ice and snow behind it immediately fills in completely. Countless masters have died from this move!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Hongmu's eyes were filled with worry, wondering how Fang Yun should respond.

Chen Xuanfeng's display was indeed extremely powerful, far surpassing that of a young man like Lu Tianhai. Moreover, Chen Xuanfeng was a renowned expert in the Southwest region in his early years, and even the leader of a sect, possessing formidable strength.

Chapter 609 Hidden Dragon in Two Sleeves

Fang Yun didn't pay much attention to Chen Xuanfeng's moves, dodging them with a few quick movements, which made Chen Xuanfeng's eyelids twitch.

"Fang Yun, right? When I was your age, I followed my master around, meditating and practicing every day, all to master a technique to the point of being completely familiar with it. I believe you should know that some things take time to mature before they take effect."

"No matter how amazing or surprising your performance is right now, your age is a huge disadvantage!"

At this point, Chen Xuanfeng shouted, "Today, I'll show you my ice magic!"

With a loud shout from Chen Xuanfeng, both of his sleeves simultaneously emitted a dazzling light, indicating that he had activated all the remaining talismans. These talismans were painstakingly crafted by experts at Chen Xuanfeng's request; a single talisman cost as much as several days' wages for an ordinary person. With such a hefty price tag, the talismans were incredibly powerful.

"Is it this trick again?" Fang Yun noticed that Chen Xuanfeng's spellcasting routine seemed to be no different from before.

But this time, it was obvious that Chen Xuanfeng's expression was much more serious than before, clearly indicating that casting this spell had also taken a huge toll on him.

Then, two long ice spikes suddenly shot out from his sleeves. But unlike before, this time the ice spikes transformed into two ice dragons, baring their fangs and claws in mid-air, looking extremely fierce.

"This...is this?"

The old woman and Wu Gan were stunned for a moment upon seeing this, exclaiming, "Chen Xuanfeng, you actually mastered the Ice Dragon Claw! No wonder you dared to be so bold this time, chasing after us so relentlessly!"

Chen Xuanfeng said smugly, "I, Chen Xuanfeng, never fight a battle unprepared. After I deal with this kid, it will be your turn next."

Upon hearing this, the old woman said, "Chen Xuanfeng, do you really want to fight to the death? I believe that using this kind of technique is a huge drain on you."

"After you use this trick, you'll probably be weak for a while. What will you do if your enemies come looking for you then? If an elder from my sect comes, you won't be able to escape," the old woman said, her voice tinged with coldness.

She knew that the Ice Dragon Claw was extremely domineering, and even Chen Xuanfeng himself might not be able to control it. Even if the two of them used their life-saving magic weapons, they would probably only be left with half their lives.

This is an outcome they did not want to see.

"Hey you two, what's wrong? You chicken out when you see you're about to die? Didn't I just tell you? I, Chen Xuanfeng, never fight a battle unprepared."

"Where is the Blade Madman?" At this moment, Chen Xuanfeng suddenly shouted into the air, and then a man dressed in black, holding a gleaming longsword, jumped down from the roof.

Although he covered the lower half of his face with a mask, his eyes were still so sharp they were frightening.

"Knife Maniac?"

Wu Gan was both surprised and incredulous when he heard this.

"Didn't the Sword Maniac say he was only obsessed with practicing swordsmanship and disdained participating in martial arts conflicts? How come he's suddenly become someone else's henchman?"

The man in black coldly replied, "I received a favor before, and now I'm repaying that kindness. Once I kill you all, I'll have completed my mission and be able to go back."

Wu Gan said with a heavy heart, "Dao Kuang, you will pay with your life for your foolish actions today!"

Dao Kuang said, "My affairs are none of your business."

As Dao Kuang spoke the last word, a burst of sword energy suddenly erupted from his body, causing him to swell up and become even taller than before. He was already quite burly, but now, with the release of his inner strength, he resembled a giant bear standing upright. His steel blade emitted a terrifying light in the night wind. Without hesitation, everyone swung their blades down, enough to cleave even a building in two.

"Today, those who stand in my way shall die!"

As Dao Kuang spoke, he took a step forward. Under the impact of his internal energy, two deep footprints were actually etched into the muddy ground of the garden.

Everyone gasped in shock at the sight. This wasn't just some madman with a knife; he was far more terrifying than a steamroller.

"Young Master Fang, you should run away quickly and don't worry about me. These people are too strong; we can't fight them at all." Qin Hongmu exclaimed in alarm. She had been hoping that Fang Yun could create another miracle, but now she felt that letting Fang Yun stay here for even a moment longer was a crime.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't called you here, you wouldn't be in such a dangerous situation." Qin Hongmu's eyes were full of guilt.

Seeing this, Wu Gan snorted coldly, "What's the use of saying all this now? If your friend had been able to attract some attention, we might have been able to escape."

Chapter 610 The Blade Maniac

"But he didn't play any role, so he was just waiting to die."

Although Wu Gan's hands were trembling with fear, he still held onto a sliver of hope. The aura of this Dao Kuang was too overwhelming, and with the support of experts from the sect, they would surely be able to find this place quickly.
