The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

After saying that, the shop owner ran inside in a few quick steps and came out a moment later, gesturing for him to enter.

"Young Master Fang, everything is arranged and we are just waiting for you."

After saying that, the shop owner stood respectfully to the side.

Without hesitation, Fang Yun followed Wang Fu directly into the inner hall. It had to be said, the inner hall was quite large. At first, he could see some shop assistants walking by, but the further in he went, the fewer people there were. Finally, they arrived at a door. 1.3

"Young Master Fang, this is where the precious treasures are stored."

After saying that, Wang Fu took out a bright yellow key and opened the door with a creak. Fang Yun glanced inside and saw a narrow alley with a small house at the end.

"Young Master Fang, please."

Wang Fu stood there and gestured for Fang Yun to go in first. Fang Yun did not refuse and went straight in.

As Wang Hai followed him inside, he suddenly heard a loud bang behind him; the door had been locked from the outside by Wang Fu.

Chapter 674 Street Fighting

Fang Yun only slightly raised his mouth when he heard the door close.

"I didn't expect that they still couldn't hold back and would take action."

Fang Yun sighed softly, and then saw a figure in front of him with his back to him.

The man was dressed in a black, close-fitting outfit, and carried a broken sword.

It was Tang Qing, a professional assassin whom Li Kui had hired at a high price. No one in this town had ever been able to withstand ten moves from him.

"It seems that the Wang family head thinks highly of us, even going so far as to use professional assassins?"

Fang Yun smiled nonchalantly when he saw the person in front of him.

The man turned around at the sound. He appeared to be in his thirties, with a hint of authority in his eyes.

Wang Hai, who was standing nearby, suddenly spoke up: "Don't you know that as an assassin, it's a basic professional rule not to let people see your true face?"

Tang Qing was taken aback upon hearing this, and a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes.

"So what? In a moment, you'll be two corpses. Do you think I need to be afraid of corpses talking?"

Wang Hai continued, "Don't you know that the most important thing for an assassin is to act quickly and decisively, and not to talk too much? You've already committed too many major taboos."

Tang Qing laughed and said, "Kid, has no one ever told you not to casually judge others?"

As he spoke the last word, Tang Qing moved, shooting towards Wang Hai like a sharp sword, clearly intending to target him first.

Then, he pierced Wang Hai's chest with his short knife, a cold smile appearing on his face: "Kid, you should know that when you get there, you have to be humble."

"Are you talking to me?"

As soon as Tang Qing finished speaking, he suddenly heard Wang Hai's voice from behind, and his face turned to one of horror.

The figure that his short sword had just pierced through was gradually disappearing; it turned out to be just an afterimage.

"This...how is this possible!"

Tang Qing turned her head and saw Wang Hai not far away, looking at her with a mocking expression.

Wang Hai couldn't believe it and raised his short sword again to attack Tang Qing. On the other side, Wang Hai disdainfully waved his hand, and a cold light flashed from his sleeve. A steel needle shot out and hit Tang Qing's short sword.

"Clang."

Although it was just a steel needle, Tang Qing felt as if he had been hit by a powerful crossbow bolt, and his wrist went sore that he couldn't hold the short sword at all.

While Tang Qing was still in a daze, Wang Hai appeared in front of him with lightning speed, kicked him to the ground, and then held a steel spike to his neck.

And this back and forth only takes a few seconds.

"This……"

Tang Qing inwardly groaned. He and the other party were not even in the same league. This Wang Tianlin was truly a scourge, actually assigning him such a task. Wasn't this just sending him to his death?

"Great hero, spare my life... I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. I have offended you and hope you will be magnanimous and spare my life!"

Wang Hai said "Oh," and then said, "Weren't you very arrogant just now? Why are you begging for mercy so quickly?"

Tang Qing stammered, "Great hero, this was all Wang Tianlin's idea. He wanted your treasure, so he sent me to ambush you. But actually, I also despise his behavior."

Tang Qing clearly had a strong will to survive and kept begging for mercy. Wang Hai didn't say anything, but glanced at Fang Yun, indicating that he should deal with him.

Fang Yun wasn't particularly interested in this kind of person, but letting him go would inevitably expose their identities. So he gave a look and said nothing.

Wang Hai was about to kill Tang Qing when Tang Qing suddenly shouted, "My two heroes, I've fallen into your hands today. You may kill me as you please, but I'm afraid you'll get yourself into trouble you can't afford to get into!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Hai was taken aback, then chuckled and said, "Tell me, what trouble could we possibly be in? If you can't give me a clear explanation, you'll only suffer an even worse fate today."

The chill in Wang Hai's eyes sent a shiver down Tang Qing's spine for no apparent reason, but considering his chances of survival, he forced himself to remain calm and said, "You've heard of the Dark List, right? Those who make it onto the list are the top figures in our assassin world, and I recently became an apprentice to someone on the Dark List. If you kill me, and my master comes knocking on your door..."

At this moment, Wang Hai couldn't help but sneer: "So, you're not that strong, your courage comes entirely from your cheap master."

Although Tang Qing was embarrassed and angry, she still argued, "If you don't believe me, I have a note he left for me in my pocket. You can take a look."

As she spoke, Tang Qing struggled to pull a note out of her pocket, which was signed with the three characters "Chang Tengyuan".

"Oh, I've heard of Tokito Haruka."

Upon seeing this, Wang Hai stroked his chin and said...

Tang Qing was immediately delighted and asked, "So it seems you also know about the Dark List?"

He was afraid that the two of them didn't even know what the secret list was.

Chapter 675 A Counterattack

"I know, how could I not know? I also know that this Tokito Tomo is ranked ninety-seventh on the Dark List and likes to use a whip that is laced with poison."

Wang Haidao.

"Yes, yes, my master wielded a poisonous whip that swept across the world. Many people felt a chill in their hearts when they heard his name."

"If you release me today, I will speak to my master about your good deeds in the future, and he might just give me a chance."

Tang Qing felt that he could save his life today, but he wanted to add fuel to the fire.

At this moment, Fang Yun suddenly laughed and said, "Ninety-seventh on the Dark Ranking, and you can still give away the chance to kill someone from the top thirty on the Dark Ranking? I've never heard of such a way of giving away a gift."

"You haven't had any contact with this, so naturally you wouldn't know..."

Tang Qing was about to explain when he suddenly froze, stammering, "What did you just say? Top thirty on the Dark List?"

"That's right, the one in front of you is the Netherworld Yama Ghost Blade, ranked twenty-ninth on the Dark List."

Fang Yun smiled and explained.

Tang Qing collapsed to the ground, her face deathly pale, her teeth chattering so badly she couldn't speak.

Although both are "hidden lists," the different rankings are quite significant. Those who can make it into the top seventy can be considered the elite of the hidden list.

The top 50 are experts, and the top 30 are top experts.

Although his master was on the Dark List, he could hardly last ten rounds against such a master.

"Sir, sir, I was truly blind to your true nature today, and that's why I offended you. Please spare my life for the sake of our profession."

Tang Qing lay on the ground, weeping bitterly. He never expected that what he had intended to do as an easy assassination mission would end up costing him his life. He was now two of his three souls gone.

Wang Hai shook his head and said, "In our line of work, if you dare to take a job, you have to be prepared to be killed."

Wang Hai shook his head, about to end Tang Qing's life amidst her despairing gaze.

"Wait a minute."

At this moment, Fang Yun suddenly called out to Wang Hai from the side.

"What?" Wang Hai turned his head.

"He wants to live, so let's see if he can do this job well."

As he spoke, Fang Yun grabbed Tang Qing by the back of his collar and lifted him up.

"Do you want to live?" Fang Yun asked coldly.

"Yes, yes," Tang Qingsheng said, afraid of being too slow.

"If you want to live, then do as I say." Fang Yun whispered the instructions.

At first, Tang Qing was somewhat hesitant, because it meant that his career as a professional assassin was basically over, but compared to his life, Tang Qing still chose to comply.

Fang Yun then led Wang Hai away from the top of the wall, leaving Tang Qing standing there.

After a moment, Tang Qing finally made up her mind, pushed open the door and went out.

Not far from the door, Wang Fu was pacing anxiously. As soon as he saw Tang Qing come out, he rushed over and asked, "Is it resolved?"

Since only Tang Qing came out, it naturally meant that Tang Qing had won, which relieved Wang Fu greatly. After all, Li Kui had given very serious instructions, stating that only victory was allowed and defeat was not permitted.

"It's resolved." Tang Qing said expressionlessly, extending one hand.

Wang Fu understood immediately and took out a small money pouch from his pocket to hand to Tang Qing. Just then, Tang Qing suddenly grabbed Wang Fu's wrist, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Master Tang, why are you doing this!" Wang Fu couldn't help but shout.

"What are you doing?" Tang Qing sneered. "You've broken your promises, openly deceiving people into doing business while secretly hiring assassins to kill and rob them of their treasures. How are you any different from bandits? Come with me to see the authorities!"

"Master Tang, what's gotten into you?!" Wang Fu tried to shout, but Tang Qing exerted force, and Wang Fu almost fainted. He didn't dare to make a sound anymore.

"Come with me to the government office now. If you dare to shout or make a scene on the way, don't blame me for being ruthless and crippling you."
