The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

After lying down on the bed, Fang Yunchang breathed a sigh of relief. He was indeed quite tired after running around all day.

Soon, as the night grew deep and quiet, Fang Yun's eyes gradually closed slightly.

Just then, a faint sound of footsteps came from outside the window, clearly indicating that someone had climbed up from the balcony.

This is the third floor. Anyone who can move around outside the window must have excellent lightness skills. If it were an ordinary person, they probably wouldn't be able to hear such a sound clearly. Therefore, Fang Yun concluded that the person who came was not simple either.

The first thing that came to Fang Yun's mind was the female assassin from earlier that day. If he had to pick someone he thought had the best lightness skill among the people he knew, aside from those who couldn't possibly be here, it would be the female assassin he met at noon.

Upon hearing the sound, Fang Yun remained calm and simply sat on the bed. Although the person's footsteps were almost inaudible, Fang Yun could still sense that the person was moving towards his window.

Finally, the person stopped at the window. Fang Yun smiled coldly, intending to see what this person wanted and who they were.

Ideally, it would be the female assassin from noon. That way, I wouldn't have to search for her everywhere; I could just capture her and interrogate her.

However, the window remained unopened. Fang Yun guessed that the person was eavesdropping on what was happening inside, so he pretended to turn over and fall asleep to reassure the person.

However, that wasn't enough. Then, a small hole was poked in the window paper, and a white tube was inserted from the outside.

"...Release a sleeping gas?"

Fang Yun was both amused and exasperated, never expecting this person to be so cautious.

As for this inferior sleeping incense, Fang Yun didn't care at all, so he just let the person put it out. He even took a puff himself, trying to figure out what the sleeping incense was made of.

"Is this sandalwood?"

Fang Yun took a breath, and then felt that he could vaguely distinguish some familiar scents in the incense, but there were more that he had never smelled before.

This piqued Fang Yun's interest, and he took another puff, wanting to discern the composition of these things.

However, after taking several inhalations, Fang Yun suddenly felt dizzy. He hadn't expected the fragrance to be so potent.

Then, Fang Yun's vision became blurry, and the moonlight he had just seen in front of his bed suddenly appeared to be split into two.

"I didn't expect this stuff to be so intoxicating..."

As Fang Yun murmured to himself, he suddenly heard a creak, and the window was pushed open from the outside, where a slender figure walked in.

Chapter 741 Returning to the Inn

Upon seeing Fang Yun, the man sneered, "You've fallen for my trick! You were trying to scam me, weren't you? Let's see how you resist my bewitching incense."

Upon hearing the voice, Fang Yun recognized it as a woman's, and since he remembered fighting her at noon, he immediately identified her.

"It's you?"

Fang Yun asked in a deep voice.

"That's right, it's me. I had to leave early this afternoon, which gave you a little breathing room. But now, I don't want to hold back anymore."

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Fang Yun asked.

The woman chuckled and said, "You don't need to ask any more questions. In short, someone wanted to take your life, so they paid me to do it."

Fang Yun smiled upon hearing this and said, "In that case, I'd really like to hear how much that person is willing to pay for my head?"

"It's nothing, just a tool."

The girl said calmly, "However, if it's just about killing a nobody like you, this price is still worthwhile."

Fang Yun asked, "How can you be so sure? Didn't you ask that person why they asked you to come and kill me?"

Fang Yun thought back for a moment and concluded that the assassin was most likely sent by one of the people from the Lotus Flower Sect.

Because Fang Yun hasn't been in contact with anyone else these past few days.

"Haha, I never ask these meaningless questions. Getting things done is more important than anything else."

After saying that, the man suddenly stretched out his right hand and slashed at Fang Yun.

In her palm was a short dagger gleaming coldly; under the moonlight, the dagger emitted a chilling light.

Fang Yun knew the thing was sharp, so he flipped to the side to dodge the attack. A hint of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes. She didn't expect Fang Yun's reaction speed to be so fast even after being drugged with the (bjbe) incense.

She then swung her sword several more times, but Fang Yun dodged them all. At this point, the woman also became somewhat unsettled.

"Why are you doing this? If you keep dodging, the sleeping potion will only dissipate in your body faster, and you'll still die eventually. Why not just let me finish you off quickly? I'll try to act as fast as I can."

Fang Yun snorted coldly and said, "Young lady, you may look young, but I never imagined you could be so ruthless. Just for a weapon, you'd kill someone without even knowing the facts. Do you think that's appropriate?"

"Why not? Some people are just wasting air by living in this world. It's their good fortune to have a weapon in exchange for this young lady's possession."

The woman's eyes flashed with cold light, and her words were even more ruthless: "The rule of the strong is the law. Blame yourself for being too weak. If you insist on blaming me, you can come back stronger in your next life!"

At this moment, the woman suddenly exuded an aura, and Fang Yun noticed that some eerie patterns had appeared on her skin. Under the moonlight, these patterns began to glow with a mysterious light.

Upon seeing this, Fang Yun recalled an ancient secret technique he had seen before, which involved sacrificing oneself to a ghost and then using the power of the ghost to enhance oneself.

Although the power boost is visible to the naked eye, the cost is enormous. In the end, if a large amount of resources cannot be used to worship the spirits every day, then the spirits will choose to devour the host's flesh and blood.

Therefore, Fang Yun speculated that this was why this woman would disregard right and wrong and indiscriminately kill innocent people.

It must be said that after the strange patterns appeared all over her body, the woman's aura increased significantly. Fang Yun even noticed that the surrounding air seemed to solidify, and his breath was cold and chilly.

"This secret technique is extraordinary!"

Fang Yun was taken aback. The woman raised the dagger in her hand again, but this time the dagger was emitting an eerie red light, and the blade was also slightly longer than before.

The woman's fingers, which were gripping the dagger, had nails that had all turned a magnificent red.

When the dagger swung down again, Fang Yun dodged, but the bed behind him snapped in two, and black marks could be seen on the broken surface.

"Boy, I told you I'd let you die a quick and painless death, so I could act faster. Now you just wait to be tortured! Those who are slashed by my Blood God Dagger will not only lose their hands and feet, but will also suffer the torment of hellfire!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun suddenly asked, "So this is your confidence? The Evil Demon Divine Skill? Don't you know that cultivating this kind of skill will ultimately lead to sacrificing oneself to ghosts?"

"You know about this merit?"

The woman was clearly surprised to hear this, not expecting that Fang Yun could recognize her martial arts technique.

"Not only do I know, I also know that breaking your technique is actually very simple. Your weak point is the cinnabar mole between your eyebrows."

Upon hearing this, the woman nearly dropped the dagger in her hand, her face showing disbelief and panic.

Chapter 742 Strange and Evil Techniques

When she practiced this skill, it was said to be a closely guarded secret. Apart from a few people closest to her, no one else knew the secret of this skill since she started practicing it.

"who are you!"

The woman couldn't help but ask.

"You said it's a waste of time, that there's no need to know so much," Fang Yun said with his usual cold expression. "I want to tell you that there will always be someone stronger than you in this world. If they also wantonly take your life, how would you feel?"

Upon hearing this, the woman's eyes widened for a moment, still not quite understanding Fang Yun's meaning.

"What I'm trying to tell you is that there are always people stronger than you. There are many people in this world who are more capable than you. The fact that you've survived this long is purely due to good luck."

As Fang Yun finished speaking, he stood up from the bed. His body, which had been swaying slightly as if he had been poisoned, was now standing straight, showing no signs of poisoning.

In Fang Yun's eyes, that shadow had vanished completely, as if it had never existed at all.

Upon seeing Fang Yun's clear eyes, the woman exclaimed in surprise, "So... so you weren't poisoned!"

Fang Yun chuckled: "With your skills, you're far from capable of poisoning me. If I hadn't been pretending to be poisoned, would you have been so careless as to come in?"

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, the woman suddenly understood.

No wonder she was wondering why Fang Yun, who didn't seem so clumsy when they fought at noon, had fallen into her trap so easily. It turned out that it wasn't him who had fallen into the trap, but herself.

Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on the woman's face.

"Good lad, I didn't expect you to be so cunning. I underestimated you. But it's too late to say anything now. Once the demonic power is unleashed, bloodshed is inevitable. Today, no matter what, you will die!"

As she spoke the last word, the woman's face was covered with strange patterns, clearly indicating that she had pushed the demonic power within her body to its limit.

Now that she knew Fang Yun knew her background, she naturally couldn't hold back anymore.

With this magical skill, she was able to wipe out a team of over a hundred people all by herself before, so taking down Fang Yun would naturally be no problem.

I'll be weak for a while, but I can't worry about that in order to win.

"go to hell!"

When she uttered the last word, the woman's entire pupils turned blood red. In the small space, she seemed to be the queen who controlled this world, and everything had to obey her orders!

"You've become too deeply entrenched in demonic possession."

Fang Yun let out a sigh, then slowly raised his palm and pointed it towards the sky.

"Eternal Night New Army, heed my command and annihilate this demon!"

As the last word fell, a burst of white light suddenly erupted from the previously pitch-black room, so bright that the women had to shield their eyes.

Then, the white light fell on the woman's body like blades, beginning to peel off the patterns on her skin.

The woman was first surprised, then panicked, and finally screamed in agony as the patterns were removed. Blood seeped from the corner of her mouth as the white light erased the designs.

"I am going to kill you!"

The woman naturally knew that Fang Yun was behind all of this, and she looked at him with hatred, raising her dagger and stabbing at Fang Yun again.

However, the woman had already lost her mind by this time. She swayed left and right and couldn't hold onto her weapon at all. Fang Yun just dodged a few times and made the woman lose her bearings, constantly bumping into the corners of the wall.
