The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

The disciple who stepped forward spoke loudly.

His name is Chen Hu. He used to be a local bully, skilled in boxing, and had tremendous arm strength.

Chapter 712 Fist Fight with Chen Hu

Fang Yun was naturally not afraid of this kind of person. Seeing that he dared to come out, he took a few steps forward, intending to spar with him.

Wang Hai hurriedly walked over and winked at Fang Yun.

On the other side, Wang Hai said to Chen Hu, "Brother, I think we should just let this matter go. There's no need for us to fight. I'll just admit defeat, and this thing is yours."

Wang Hai knew that his only requirement was to be able to climb the mountain; whether he won or not was irrelevant. If he lost and they still let him up the mountain, that would be ideal, but if he won, there would likely be some new troubles.

If that's the case, why should I fight with them? Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?

When Chen Hu heard Wang Hai speak, a look of disdain appeared on his face.

"So, according to you, we brothers have to give way to each other, right?"

"That's not what I meant. I admit it myself. If it comes to fighting, I definitely can't beat you guys, so I concede."

Wang Hai didn't bother arguing with them and simply admitted defeat. But these people looked on with mockery.

These disciples lead a monotonous life every day. It's not easy for them to have two people to play with, so how could they so easily let Wang Hai and his companion go up?

Even if Wang Hai wins in the end, they probably won't let them go up. If they disrupt the grand event that's being prepared inside, they'll be in deep trouble.

So everything before this was just them teasing Wang Hai; they never intended to let them in.

Fang Yun, who was standing to the side, had also vaguely discerned the character of these people, so he decided not to give in to them.

He walked over and patted Wang Hai on the shoulder, saying, "Alright, stop being naive. These people are just messing with you. If you want to go up, you'll have to teach these troublemakers a lesson first. Stop being so timid and leave everything to me."

Wang Hai naturally couldn't say anything more. Fang Yun had already put it this way, and if he still kept trying to compromise, he probably wouldn't get anything done and would only be looked down upon.

At this moment, besides Chen Hu, the other gatekeepers also hid under the shade of the trees, pointing and whispering in this direction.

"We must remind you two that if you end up with missing limbs, don't blame us. Our junior brother Chen Hu is incredibly strong."

"Back when he was a hunter back home, I heard that he once fought a black bear. Although he was injured, the bear managed to escape. Now you should know how strong this junior brother is."

"Yeah, if you can't beat them later, kneel down and kowtow as soon as possible, otherwise you might lose your life here."

These people chimed in with disdain, clearly none of them believed that Fang Yun and his companion could defeat Chen Hu; they were merely watching a good show from the sidelines.

As for what will happen to Fang Yun and his companion, they don't care. If any elders in the sect ask, they'll just say that Fang Yun and his companion forced their way into the mountain gate and were stopped by them, thus absolving themselves of responsibility.

Wang Hai glanced at Fang Yun. He had originally said he would go first, but Fang Yun stopped him.

“You are skilled in the art of assassination, but Chen Hu uses brute force. You are not suited to fight him, so let me handle it.”

Although these people were just gatekeepers, there weren't many mediocre talents in this sect, and these people themselves were quite strong.

As for Chen Hu, he made no attempt to conceal his strength, and then released his true energy. In just an instant, Fang Yun could guess that this achievement had reached the late stage of the Great Martial Master realm.

"Not bad, with that kind of strength, you could become an instructor in any other martial arts school. Putting aside everything else, the Lotus Sect has quite a lot of people."

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

When Fang Yun walked up to Chen Hu, the other disciples all turned their attention to him. Upon discovering that Fang Yun possessed no true energy, they assumed he was just an ordinary person.

He then looked at Chen Hu with a cold smile, guessing that Chen Hu would treat Fang Yun like a toy to play with.

Wang Hai, standing to the side, wasn't worried about Fang Yun being in any danger, but he was concerned that if Fang Yun beat Chen Hu badly enough, it might provoke the anger of the sect behind him, and he might end up losing more than he gained.

"I hope you won't regret it later. How about this, so you won't say I'm bullying you later, I'll let you make your move first."

Fang Yun struck a nonchalant pose, standing there waiting for Chen Hu to come over.

"Let me take the first shot?"

Chen Hu almost doubted whether he had misheard. But when he saw Fang Yun's confident and dashing appearance, he couldn't help but laugh, his face beaming with joy.

As for the disciples who were waiting to see the show, they were also laughing so hard they were doubled over. They thought to themselves, "That Fang Yun kid really doesn't know his own limitations."

Chapter 713 Defeating the Enemy with One Hand

"Kid, I was originally thinking of holding back a bit to give you face, but since you've said that, it would be disrespectful of me not to go all out. So don't worry, I'll show you what to do next."

Chen Hu was worried because people were saying he was bullying the weak. In that case, he couldn't use his power, and the fight wouldn't be very satisfying. But now that Fang Yun had said so himself, if he used his full strength, no one could say anything.

Meanwhile, the disciples watching the spectacle were also filled with anticipation. Chen Hu's punch was capable of piercing a 100-meter-high wall; they wondered what it would be like to see such a punch land on an ordinary person.

They hadn't seen bones shatter and blood spurt for a long time. They had gambled and fought with others before, but after joining the sect, they were subject to many restrictions. So today, they wanted to take this opportunity to vent their pent-up anger.

Chen Hu had already begun to gather his energy. He took a deep breath, and his chest began to expand. His muscles also began to swell, becoming noticeably larger than before.

Instead of walking directly towards Fang Yun, he bent down, picked up a pebble from the ground, and pinched it between his five fingers, instantly shattering it into a handful of powder.

"Impressive skills, Brother Chen Hu. If you train this strength for a few more years, you might be able to join the sect as an inner disciple in the future."

"Yes, if you become an inner disciple in the future, don't forget to help us old brothers. Whether we can get out of this gatekeeping job soon depends on you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hu smiled broadly, but he also knew his own strength and when to back down. He immediately said, "Brother Yang, don't talk about me. You must be secretly practicing your swordsmanship every day. I've heard that with one strike of yours, you can split a tree into several pieces in an instant."

"The person Chen Hu was referring to was the eldest among this group, named Yang Song. Yang Song is indeed a skilled swordsman. It is said that he can split a falling leaf into several pieces without using any force. This requires extremely high skill in swordsmanship and mastery of strength."

As for why Yang Song is still guarding the gate here, it's related to other reasons as well.

I heard that when it first arrived, it offended some elder because of its unruly behavior, so it was banished to this place and hasn't been able to leave since.

He was naturally unwilling to stay here forever, so he practiced his swordsmanship diligently every day, waiting for another elder to appreciate him and take him back. When the others mentioned his swordsmanship, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.

However, Fang Yun was too insignificant in his eyes to warrant him displaying his swordsmanship.

On this side, Chen Hu had finished warming up, then picked up the casserole and threw his big fist at Fang Yun.

He didn't intend to end the fight so quickly, so instead of aiming for Fang Yun's vital points, he struck Fang Yun's shoulder, intending to cripple one of Fang Yun's hands first.

Fang Yun sneered, neither dodging nor avoiding. Just as Chen Hu's fist came hurtling towards him, he suddenly stretched out his hands with lightning speed and grabbed Chen Hu's arms.

Chen Hu was stunned, wondering where Fang Yun got such strength. His arm was completely immobilized in Fang Yun's hands.

As he tried his best to pull it out, Fang Yun suddenly bent his elbow, and Chen Hu cried out in pain. It turned out that Fang Yun had broken his arm.

Seeing the cold sweat pouring down Chen Hu's forehead, the onlookers were dumbfounded. They had no idea what had happened.

If Fang Yun had used some kind of smoke bomb or other methods, they could understand it, but Chen Hu's greatest strength was his physical power.

Without the tiger's strength, facing Chen Hu head-on would almost certainly result in being crushed.

"This, how is this possible?" The group looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.

On the other side, Chen Hu was in pain but unwilling to accept defeat. He refused to believe that he had lost to Fang Yun so easily, so he raised his other, still-intact left arm and swung it fiercely at Fang Yun again.

This time, he didn't linger and went straight for Fang Yun's forehead. With the force he used to have, he could split stone tablets and shatter rocks; if he hit a person's head, he could even break their skull.

Fang Yun remained unchanged, neither dodging nor avoiding. When Chen Hu's fist arrived, he simply reached out and caught it mid-air.

Chen Hu tried his best to punch down, but he couldn't budge it at all, as if it were stuck in a crack in the rock.

"I just don't believe it."

Chen Hu let out a roar.

Chapter 714 Easy Victory

Although Chen Hu kept trying to fight back, it was no use. Fang Yun easily dodged his punches and knocked him to the ground. The whole process took less than a minute.

This left the others speechless. As for Wang Hai, although he had known all along, he couldn't help but show a hint of worry on his face.

As the saying goes, it's easier to deal with the King of Hell than with his underlings. My goal now is to go up the mountain and bring my sister out. If I can't get these people to go up and inform them, then I won't be able to bring my sister out discreetly and carefully.

If more people know about this and become vigilant, it will be unlikely that Wang Xiaoya will be brought out.

But if he didn't do that, Wang Hai couldn't think of any other good ideas for the time being. Moreover, the gatekeeper seemed to be in a playful mood and insisted on competing with the two of them. Even if he didn't agree to their written test, they would probably come up with other tricks.

"Fine, let's do whatever Young Master Fang says. If all else fails, we'll find another way."

Wang Hai sighed softly.

After being injured and in pain, Chen Hu collapsed to the ground, groaning softly.

Although Fang Yun didn't use much force, and it seemed like a light punch or palm strike to outsiders, when Chen Hu was hit by Fang Yun's attack, it became clear that Fang Yun had concentrated all her strength into one point.

This kind of blow is far more painful than simple brute force. Chen Hu was already somewhat speechless, his muscles aching terribly.

"Well? The competition is over now, can we go up now?"

Fang Yun looked coldly at the others, without giving them a friendly look.

The men looked at him with a hint of shame and anger. Although they were disciples of the sect, everyone who came to the mountain treated them with utmost respect. Who would dare to be so disrespectful like Fang Yun?

The others immediately turned their attention to the man holding a common poplar pine.

"How dare you lay such a heavy hand on my disciple! If anything happens to Chenghu, you will be implicated as well."

At this moment, Yang Song came out and looked at Fang Yun with a stern expression.

Fang Yun smiled upon hearing this.

"You really have no shame when you speak. You all know what Chen Hu looked like just now. If he were an ordinary person, would anyone still be alive looking like Chen Hu now?"

"What's wrong? You're allowed to kill people but I'm not allowed to use my full strength? Besides, if I hadn't held back just now, your junior brother would have been dead on the spot."

"you!"
