The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Wang Hai was already preparing to pull out his hidden weapon and strike those people, but judging from the current situation, by the time his hidden weapon hit them, Fang Yun would probably have already been cut down.

Wang Hai is now filled with remorse, wondering why he didn't react sooner. If Fang Yun were truly in danger, he would certainly be held responsible and feel extremely guilty.

"Young Master Fang!"

Therefore, Wang Hai still charged towards their battle group without hesitation. At this moment, Fang Yun's voice rang out.

"This is exactly the time I've been waiting for. I'm too lazy to deal with them one by one. You can all deal with yourselves together."

Fang Yun's voice remained as calm and nonchalant as before, with a hint of cynicism.

These people were all somewhat confused, but when they realized what was happening, their faces changed drastically. They found their bodies seemingly being pulled by something, and they all rushed towards the direction Fang Yun had just come from.

As for the blades in their hands, they were all slashing at each other's bodies. They tried to stop, but they had used too much force and couldn't stop in time.

"No!"

The men all roared, but it was to no avail. Their weapons plunged into each other's bodies. Although not all of them were vital organs, because everyone had used their full strength, each strike was severely wounding, and they all coughed up a mouthful of blood almost simultaneously.

"You little brat, you're despicable!"

Once they realized what was happening, they slowly drew their weapons and tore off large strips of cloth from their bodies to bandage their wounds.

"I'm despicable. Use your brains and think carefully. Who was despicable first? If not, would this have happened if all of you had surrounded us? In the end, it's because you people are too despicable and stupid that this is the result."

"you!"

These people were furious, but what Fang Yun said seemed to make sense. A look of extreme pain appeared on their faces.

Wang Hai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Fang Yun was alright. He had thought that Fang Yun shouldn't have any problems, but he didn't expect that Fang Yun would actually pull a trick on these people.

The group found their way back to the large tree and leaned against it, panting heavily. They were all badly injured, and Chen Hu, having fought Fang Yun, was now completely unconscious.

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

As for Yang Song, although his injuries were slightly less severe, he was completely unable to muster any energy.

He had just realized that the gap between them and Fang Yun was too great. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so easily manipulated by Fang Yun. Even if he were to fight Fang Yun now, the result would be the same.

I just used all my strength and still ended up like this. Now that I'm injured, how much room for resistance do I have left?

At this moment, Fang Yun didn't waste any more words with these people and walked directly up to them.

"Alright, you guys won't submit unless you're beaten. Now you can lead us up the mountain, right?"

Fang Yun wasn't speaking in a tone of negotiation; instead, he glared at them as if he were ready to kill them at the slightest provocation. This look from Fang Yun instilled a sense of panic in the men.

"I'll say this one last time: if you continue to play along with my pretense, even if I kill you all, probably no one will know. You're welcome to try."

Chapter 718 Encountering a Ruthless Person

Since things had come to this point, these people naturally couldn't say anything more. Seeing Fang Yun's aggressive demeanor, they could no longer persist.

"Alright, let's bring these two to the sect first. As for what happens next, let the elders handle it. After all, this is something we can't handle, and we hope the elders can understand."

Yang Song silently comforted himself, then exchanged a glance with the others, and prepared to take Fang Yun up the mountain.

"Alright, you two, since you insist on going up the mountain, then I will take you up. But if anything happens later, don't blame us, otherwise we will rather die here today than take you up."

Fang Yun sneered upon hearing this: "Don't worry, you little guys aren't worth me saying anything to."

These men were furious upon hearing this, but they couldn't really say anything.

They then left two people to continue guarding the mountain gate, while the others led Fang Yun and his companion up the mountain. Of course, they could have let Fang Yun and his companion go up on their own, but wouldn't that make them seem negligent in their duties?

If the two of them were to lead the way, they could claim it was a feigned retreat to lure the two men into a trap so they could be captured. Yang Song had considered this point.

Wang Hai breathed a sigh of relief. At least nothing serious had happened. It seemed some people couldn't be reasoned with; he had to force them to submit. Otherwise, it looked like it would be very difficult to climb the mountain today.

Fang Yun naturally knew that these two weren't exactly obedient, but he wasn't afraid. At worst, when their elder arrived, he could simply beat them into submission as well. If he continued with his previous strategy of meekly submission, he figured they definitely wouldn't be able to climb this mountain today.

However, just as Fang Yun had expected, it was definitely not that smooth. But what he didn't expect was that before he even reached the mountain gate, someone came down halfway down.

The man was dressed in purplish-black clothes and appeared to be in his forties. His smile had a strange quality to it, suggesting that he had suffered some kind of injury in his early years, which was why he had some skin problems.

Between his waists hung a disc-like object, much like a bicycle wheel. However, this disc was extremely sharp, with barbs on it, making it look rather menacing.

"Isn't this Yang Song? Is he taking guests up the mountain?"

This man wasn't an elder, but a senior disciple, and his kung fu was said to be extremely formidable. Yang Song and his companion had seen him fight in the arena before; it was indeed incredibly brutal.

When they were training in the mountains before, anyone targeted by this man's wheel was either killed or seriously injured. Even wild beasts were left covered in blood by his wheel. Countless creatures had died under his wheel, so the two of them were still somewhat apprehensive when they saw him.

"Greetings, senior brother. Are you heading down the mountain?"

Yang Song simply replied respectfully. Although they wanted to explain the situation and ask their senior brother to take action, they were afraid that if they couldn't defeat Fang Yun, they would be in an even more passive position.

Therefore, it's better to play it safe and just bring Fang Yun and the other person upstairs, letting the elders handle the matter.

"That's right, the sect leader asked me to go down and take care of some things."

The man said this with a rather smug expression, seemingly feeling very proud of the task assigned by the sect leader.

At this moment, Yang Song smelled something unusual about this person.

"Senior brother, your aura seems a little different than before. Have you broken through to a higher realm?"

"You noticed that. I've been stuck at the top of the martial arts rankings for a while, which has been quite frustrating. But this time I've finally broken through."

The man was clearly very proud. Although it was not easy for him to break through, others were no different. Compared to his fellow disciples, his speed was already quite fast.

Upon hearing this, Yang Song and the others' eyes lit up. If they had any reservations about the man before, thinking that he and Fang Yun were evenly matched and it was difficult to determine a winner, then now that he had broken through his cultivation level, defeating Fang Yun should be a piece of cake.

So at this moment, Yang Song suddenly stepped forward and said, "Senior brother, these are not some guests. They are here to cause trouble, but unfortunately, I am not strong enough and they beat me into submission, so I had no choice but to bring them up the mountain."

The man's expression turned cold upon hearing this, and he then looked at the two of them.

Wang Hai naturally didn't want to clash with him, so he quickly explained, "Brother, it's not like that. We just wanted to visit someone up the mountain; we didn't mean anything by it. These two fellow disciples insisted on sparring with us, and we only did it to keep them company."

Chapter 719 Flying Knife Blocks the Way

The man naturally ignored Wang Hai's words and turned to look at Yang Song.

"Senior brother, do I need to hide this from you? If these two hadn't been so aggressive, I would have had no chance to resist them. How could I have brought them up the mountain? Now we have no choice but to ask you, senior brother, to uphold justice for us."

Upon hearing this, the man looked Fang Yun and the other man up and down, but found nothing unusual about them. He then revealed a hint of contempt in his eyes.

“Junior Brother Yang, I always tell you to practice your skills properly, but you never listen. Now look what’s happened! Even a stranger can bully you. If I hadn’t come down here today, and the elders had caught you, you would have been in deep trouble.”

“What you say is true, senior brother. We will definitely reflect on our actions after we go back. Of course, if you have time in the future, senior brother, you might as well teach us a few tricks. We will definitely learn well and not let you down.”

Yang Song and the others quickly offered a few words of flattery. Upon hearing this, the man's face also showed considerable smugness.

"That's natural. Since we're from the same sect, I'll definitely teach you something. I'll deal with these two first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

Then the man turned to look at Fang Yun.

"Alright, I won't say any more to you two. If you kneel down now, kowtow to us, apologize, and then immediately get down the mountain, I might spare you this time. Otherwise, you'll regret it."

After all, he was also a member of this sect, and it was inconvenient for him to fight these two directly, lest others say that he was bullying the weak. So if he could force these two to retreat in this way, then he could end the matter as soon as possible.

As he spoke, this person released his aura, and for a moment, the expressions of Yang Song and the others changed slightly.

"Senior Brother Xu is amazing. Although he hasn't advanced in his realm for very long, his skills are so profound, as if he has been stuck at this realm for a long time."

"Of course, Senior Brother Xu had a very solid foundation. He was just one step away from breaking through. Now that he has broken through, all those previous efforts have not been in vain."

"Let's stand back a bit. If that kid is really stubborn and insists on fighting Senior Brother Xu, he might not end up looking too good. We don't want him to get blood on us."

As they discussed this, the group walked to the side, as if they were genuinely afraid that Fang Yun and his companion would be killed on the spot.

At this moment, Fang Yun said, "I heard that your sect's wealth comes from the support of these people and other forces, right? And for this, you promised to protect their safety."

"Now that we've arrived and want to go to the sect to discuss some matters, you're doing everything you can to obstruct us from going up. What kind of logic is that?"

Fang Yun's question stumped the man surnamed Xu. It seemed wrong not to let him go up. But then he realized what he meant and shouted, "Kid, don't try to talk nonsense with me. You were wrong to hit someone today."

"So now I'm giving you two options to be selected: either kneel down and kowtow to apologize, or fight me."

The man surnamed Xu seemed very confident, believing that if Fang Yun dared to fight him, his fate would be dire. Therefore, he didn't think Fang Yun would choose the second path.

"We have already explained that these people insisted on making us fight them, and now that they have lost, they are denying it. What kind of logic is this? Is this the integrity and magnanimity of your sect?"

"you!"

The man surnamed Xu was taken aback again, unsure how to refute. Just then, Yang Song suddenly said, "Senior Brother Xu, do you know Chen Hu? You know, that tall, strong guy."

"He was beaten unconscious by this person and is now lying there covered in blood. Tell me, what crime should be committed for bullying a disciple of a sect?"

"That's right. No matter what your reasons are, since you dared to hit someone, you deserve to die a thousand deaths today."

The man surnamed Xu, whose real name is 997, put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look and stared at Fang Yun with wide eyes.

"Since you insist on fighting, I'm happy to oblige. However, I have one last request. If you lose, you must, like them, obediently invite me into the mountain gate. If you dare to cheat again, I'll tear down your mountain gate."

"You've got quite the big talk, kid. I wonder if you can actually deliver! If not, you'd better shut your mouth."

At this point, the man suddenly picked up a flywheel on his left, flicked it with his finger, and the flywheel began to spin violently. It felt as if someone had turned on the power to a cutting machine.

The man simply swung the flying wheel over the nearby grass and trees, slicing them flat. Clearly, anyone daring to confront such a sharp blade would be either killed or seriously injured; no wonder these people described it as bloody.

Chapter 720 A New Beginning

Just when everyone thought he was going to charge directly at Fang Yun with that flying wheel, he suddenly flicked his finger, and the flying wheel flew into the air, then shot directly towards Fang Yun.

The flywheel was already moving fast, and when it suddenly flew over like that, there was no way to catch it.
