The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

"It seems I underestimated Young Master Fang..."

Although Chen Xuanfeng had greatly overestimated Fang Yun, he realized in the face of reality that he was still ignorant and almost made a fool of himself.

If I had known Fang Yun had such methods, why would I have put on such a righteous and awe-inspiring act?

Although Qin Hongmu had always maintained his composure, he couldn't help but open his mouth slightly in the face of this situation, and only after a moment of stunned silence did he realize his lapse in composure.

"Young Master Fang..."

Qin Hongmu's eyes were complicated, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

At this moment, the golden phoenix completely occupied the entire sky, and the blood moon was swallowed into its belly like a mud ball and disappeared. The left protector suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

Everyone thought he was about to unleash a torrent of curses, but to their surprise, he quickly waved his hand and shouted decisively, "So it's a master in person. I was being presumptuous."

“Young Master Fang, I am willing to take responsibility for what happened today. I will compensate you however much you need.”

Although it was the Left Protector who was injured, he did not believe that the other party had no grudge against him. He immediately shouted, hoping to make the other party reconsider and not kill him.

"Oh?" the defender chuckled. "Do you have anything I need?"

The Left Protector was taken aback, having never heard of such a question before. Chen Xuanfeng, standing to the side, whispered in Fang Yun's ear, "Young Master Fang, their sect is one of the largest in the Southwest, with a history spanning hundreds of years and a wealth of rare treasures. In any case, he is now like a stray dog, so it wouldn't be bad if we could exchange some treasures for him."

Of course, Chen Xuanfeng had some ulterior motives in saying this.

This Left Protector is a big shot in the southwest, and the people in the sect definitely know where he came this time. If he dies in the end and it is found that he is related to me, then I will definitely suffer endless revenge from them.

Chapter 623 Begging for Mercy

In that case, it would be better to spare the Left Protector's life. In any case, given his current condition, he will need to go back and rest for at least a few years to recover. By then, I will have a way to deal with him.

Meanwhile, the Left Protector seemed to have guessed what Chen Xuanfeng was talking about with Fang Yun, and immediately said, "Young Master Fang, I believe Patriarch Chen is well aware of my strength. Even if there are some things I can't produce, I can always find them in the sect's treasure vault. As long as you shake hands with me today, you can obtain a treasure that we have worked so hard to acquire. Why not?"

On this side, Fang Yun's face remained expressionless as he said "September 17th," while the Fire Phoenix in the sky gradually extinguished its flames, seemingly about to disappear.

Seeing that his persuasion had been effective, the Left Protector immediately wanted to add fuel to the fire, so he said, "Young Master Fang, our sect also really wants to be friends with a master like you."

"Our sect has no shortage of talented individuals. For example, we have several elders at the peak of the Bigu stage. In addition, the Right Protector and I are both at the Great Completion stage of Bigu. Furthermore, our sect leader has even reached the Celestial Master realm. If you are interested, you can also spar with him."

"Are you threatening me?" Fang Yun said calmly.

How could he not understand the meaning of the Left Protector's words?

"No, no, no, Mr. Fang, you are a smart man. I am just analyzing the pros and cons for you. I believe you will make the right choice."

The Left Protector spoke with a natural confidence.

In the past, when he traveled, he had encountered opponents stronger than himself, but upon hearing about the great sect behind him, they all ultimately chose to compromise.

For example, the reason why the Left Protector was able to trap a half-step Celestial Master in the formation was partly because the Left Protector did indeed have extraordinary strength, and partly because the other party wanted to find a way to back down and did not want to provoke the forces behind the Left Protector too much.

"Young Master Fang, think about it again. I, the Protector, am willing to risk my life. I have no family left. But you are different. You haven't started a family yet, have you? Or rather, the beautiful young woman beside you will be with you in the future. Even if you don't think about yourself, shouldn't you think about them?"

The Left Protector chuckled. He had used both soft and hard tactics. He didn't believe anyone would choose irrational behavior under such pressure. Killing him would bring no benefit and only endless trouble.

The old woman and Wu Gan breathed a long sigh of relief. Although the Left Protector had been defeated, they had at least escaped with their lives.

Now, their biggest worry is that Fang Yun might do something irrational and insist on killing the Left Protector. If that happens, they, as eyewitnesses, will probably not fare much better and will definitely be questioned or hunted down by the sect members.

"Oh, so you're saying I have to let you go today?" Fang Yun sneered.

The Left Protector didn't speak, but the expression on his face clearly showed that he believed Fang Yun would know what to do.

Chen Xuanfeng, on the other hand, also stepped forward to offer advice. He knew that young people like Fang Yun were prone to youthful impetuosity. The world was not lacking in exceptionally talented individuals, but many of them did not live to mature because they did some thankless things in their youth…

Regardless of the circumstances, Chen Xuanfeng still intended to dissuade Fang Yun today. No matter what Fang Yun's strength was, Chen Xuanfeng did not want Fang Yun to provoke such a powerful enemy now, as it would be very disadvantageous for him in the future.

“Young Master Fang, while the Left Protector certainly deserves to die, we can’t let him make my situation more difficult. I know their sect; they’re notoriously vengeful. If we really kill their people, they’ll probably keep coming in waves, especially their leader, who’s extremely difficult to deal with.”

Although Fang Yun defeated the Left Protector today, Chen Xuanfeng still harbors a deep fear of the elusive sect leader and prefers to avoid provoking him if possible.

If the Left Protector could still muster the strength to fight, then the cult leader was someone he didn't want to resist at all.

Seeing the hesitant look on Fang Yun's face, the Left Protector knew that the other party probably dared not make a move, so he smiled and said, "Young Master Fang, your strength is indeed something that even I, the Protector, have to admit defeat for. However, our sect leader is not someone to be trifled with, and the sect's protective formation is not something that ordinary people can comprehend. You should know what to do, right?"

As the Left Protector spoke, the fear he had felt earlier slowly dissipated. He was already thinking about how to properly plan things after he returned. But all of this would have to wait until he got back.

"How about it, Young Master Fang? If you're more outspoken, perhaps we can even become friends. Our sect is very hospitable, and a hero like yourself would certainly receive the warmest welcome."

Chapter 624 Slaying the Left Protector

If Fang Yun had any hesitation before, wondering whether or not to take action, then the more the Left Protector said, the more he pushed himself into the abyss.

It wasn't that Fang Yun hesitated because of conflicting interests, but rather that Fang Yun wasn't as ruthless and bloodthirsty as him. For Fang Yun, whether to kill him or not was just a matter of a single thought, so why bother considering so many unnecessary things?

At this moment, seeing that Fang Yun had not yet made a move, the left protector's smile became even more smug. He knew that as long as he brought up the strength of the sect behind him, anyone who wanted to mess with him would have to think twice about whether they could afford to offend him.

Just then, a scorching heat suddenly emanated from Fang Yun's body. Before the Left Protector could even see, he noticed that Fang Yun had somehow acquired a bronze bell in his hand. This bronze bell was spinning rapidly, constantly emitting sparks, and the heat from before was coming from this bell.

"What do you want to do?"

Left Protector instinctively sensed a dangerous aura and looked at Fang Yun, only to see Fang Yun suddenly raise his hand, and the bronze bell suddenly flew towards Left Protector's position, then suddenly grew larger in mid-air, finally enveloping Left Protector's entire body inside the bronze bell.

"You think you're so great? Well, let me tell you right now, you can't even beat one of my bronze bells."

After the left protector was locked inside, the bronze bell began to rotate again, and the sparks coming out of it became more and more intense, eventually turning into a fireball.

The Left Protector's voice wailed inside, but no matter how desperately he shouted, it was to no avail. In the end, only the Left Protector's gradually fading figure could be seen struggling inside the bronze bell, but he was also gradually losing his strength.

"This……"

Those present who witnessed this scene were terrified, as if their very souls had been ripped out. The Left Protector, a powerful ruler of his time, had perished so tragically?

Everyone was in disbelief.

"Young Master Chen is truly a celestial being; he actually managed to burn a person's soul to ashes with just a bronze bell."

Upon seeing this, Chen Xuanfeng understood something. A deep-seated fear made him almost unable to look Fang Yun in the eye.

The Left Protector was like a puppet on strings, completely at Fang Yun's mercy. He figured his own skill level was even lower than Fang Yun's, and he probably wouldn't last more than a few moves. This felt like a sharp stab to his heart.

At this moment, Wu Gan and the old woman, who had just been discussing the matter, were trembling with fear upon seeing this scene. If the Left Protector could save their lives, then the two of them would be safe. At worst, they could return home with the Left Protector.

But now, seeing that Fang Yun had indeed burned them to ashes, he realized that with such methods, he no longer cared about their lives.

"thump!"

After a brief discussion, the two men immediately knelt down before Fang Yun. They planned to kill Fang Yun and then kill them as well, as they didn't want to experience the feeling of being burned alive by the bronze bell.

However, Fang Yun didn't even glance at them. In Fang Yun's eyes, the two of them were just minor characters, not worth the effort.

Accompanying the Left Protector were several of his trusted disciples, who would have been top experts in the sect in the past, but now they couldn't help but twitch their faces.

But seeing that even the Left Protector could not escape death, and that they themselves had no hope of survival, they immediately cursed, "You scoundrel, how dare you kill the Left Protector! Once the elders of my sect arrive, your death is imminent!"

"That's right, sooner or later, I will definitely tear you to pieces!"

Perhaps to bolster their courage, these people used almost every venomous word they could think of to describe Fang Yun.

However, Fang Yun remained calm and unconcerned about the insults hurled at him.

“You lot are as noisy as flies. You have ten seconds to get out of my sight, or you’ll end up like your 917 masters.”

The group was taken aback, then pointed to themselves and asked in confusion, "You're letting us go?"

"Hmph, I told you, you only have ten seconds, now it's nine, eight..."

Upon hearing Fang Yun's explanation, the group immediately understood, their faces lighting up with elation. They then frantically ran towards the courtyard exit.

As he ran, his face revealed endless resentment and malice.

"Several brats dare to be so arrogant as to spare our lives. When we return, it will be your death day."

A sinister smile appeared on their faces, completely unaware that just as they turned to run away, Fang Yun had stuck several talismans on their backs.

When the time comes, as long as they dare to betray the sect, they will inevitably face death.

However, given their level of skill, these individuals were naturally unable to detect Fang Yun's subtle actions. Each of them was smug and self-satisfied, believing they had escaped and gained their freedom.

Chapter 625 Releasing the Tiger Back to the Mountain

As for why he did this, Fang Yun didn't want this matter to keep drawing his attention. Since there were several messengers, he might as well let them tell the people in the sect the news.

When the people from that sect come, I'll kill them one by one, or two by two, and eventually they won't dare to come anymore.

Otherwise, one would have to live a life of constant anxiety in the market.

Now that the matter was over, Chen Xuanfeng didn't plan to stay any longer. After all, it wasn't his old lair, and he hadn't brought enough talismans, nor could he use any formations, so there was no point in dwelling on it.

If any unsolvable problems were encountered in this place, it is estimated that everyone's lives would be lost here.

"Young Master Fang is so kind. Please be sure to visit our Chen Family Village in the future. I, Chen, will certainly do my best to welcome you with open arms!"

Afterwards, Chen Xuanfeng gathered the belongings of the deceased disciples, carried the remaining people to hastily bury the bodies, and then shouldered his pack and left this place, which was quite far away.

He probably never expected that such a scene would happen before he came.

Seeing that Fang Yun completely ignored them, the old woman and the man who had just finished their business quietly got up from the ground and quickly ran away in one direction.

Suddenly, the courtyard fell silent, leaving only Fang Yun and Qin Hongmu. Qin Hongmu walked over and whispered after a short while, "If we just let them go like this, will they come back for revenge later?"

Fang Yun smiled faintly: "What I'm afraid of is that they won't come. As long as they dare to come, I can wipe them all out."

"Huh? What if they come and can't find us?" Qin Hongmu suddenly asked, sounding like a curious child.
