The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Seeing this, Tu Hongzhi sneered even more: "Boy, what's the use of wasting your true energy like this? It will only deplete it faster. You should just submit as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Tu Hongzhi took out a jade-green incense burner from his sleeve, pointed at it, and a wisp of white smoke slowly rose from the burner.

The smoke carried immense corrosive power; although it merely drifted in the air, it made the air itself seem rotten, emitting a putrid odor.

When these odors drifted down to the rooms of different people in the inn below, the wooden window frames outside began to seep white droplets under the corrosive smell. Upon seeing this, the people were terrified and dared not linger. They cried out for their parents and fled into their rooms.

When these white poisonous gases touched their skin, screams rose and fell, and the flesh on them continued to fester and bleed under the corrosive effects of the poisonous gases.

"Run, everyone! Use those metal objects to block our way!"

Those who remained relatively calm condensed their inner energy into protective armor on their skin, desperately blocking the poisonous gas. However, the cold sweat on their foreheads showed how arduous their efforts were.

Fang Yun also felt the intense heat of the poisonous gas and erected a protective shield of his true energy. However, the corrosive power of the poisonous gas was extremely strong, and it even began to invade Fang Yun's meridians along with his true energy.

"Haha, kid, now you know how powerful I am, right? When I, Master Shouyang, was your age, I destroyed a city with a single drop of poison. How can you compare to me?"

Then, Tu Hongzhi pointed at the green incense burner again, and the incense burner began to spin faster and faster, and the white smoke became thicker and dispersed faster than before.

0...  

Seeing that many onlookers were showing signs of being unable to withstand the pressure, Fang Yun was not about to let Tu Hongzhi succeed. He originally planned to raise his true energy shield and rush out, but Tu Hongzhi was clearly up to something.

Within this poisonous smoke, Fang Yun detected at least several mixed poisons. No matter which antidote was used, it would become a catalyst for the other poisons. Therefore, it can be said that Tu Hongzhi was truly wicked and extremely malicious.

At this moment, the protective aura of true energy that Fang Yun had erected also began to change color. Originally milky white, it was now tinged with an oily green light under the influence of the poisonous smoke, making it truly difficult to guard against.

"Since you refuse to listen to reason and are forced to drink the penalty cup, then I'll make you sick first, and see how you can still be so stubborn."

Tu Hongzhi's voice grew increasingly cold, and the poisonous smoke from all directions relentlessly attacked Fang Yun. Every minute that passed, Fang Yun's true energy was gradually depleted, which was extremely taxing on him.

Chapter 748 Bone-Corroding Poison

If we can't find a way to break this deadlock, once the poisonous smoke enters our bodies, it will be almost impossible to fight back.

“Tu Hongzhi, you old dog, I never provoked your disciple. It was your disciple who didn’t know what was good for her and insisted on provoking me. I’m being polite by taking action now. Otherwise, I would have killed her long ago when she tried to assault me.”

"Now, I can return her to you. You must quickly remove this poisonous smoke and do not harm these innocent people. Otherwise, you can forget about saving your apprentice."

Fang Yun looked at Tu Hongzhi coldly, his face full of disdain.

People like "Ling San San," who threaten others' lives at the slightest disagreement, are truly despicable.

Upon hearing this, Tu Hongzhi retorted, "Boy, if you have the guts, try hurting my disciple. Today, I'll make sure this place is barren!"

Tu Hongzhi's eyes flashed with a fierce light. Fang Yun realized that this man was not seeking revenge for his disciple, but rather coveting the secrets he possessed. His hasty arrival was merely to gain some benefits from him.

In that case, the woman no longer had any meaning in threatening the other party. Fang Yun glanced around and found that many more people could not withstand the poisonous smoke, and many of them were spitting out black blood and soon died.

Fang Yun couldn't wait any longer and didn't care about anything else. He directly raised his true qi shield and rushed towards Tu Hongzhi. The closer he got to Tu Hongzhi, the stronger the power of the poisonous smoke became.

When Fang Yun was less than a few meters away from Tu Hongzhi, a triumphant smile suddenly appeared on Tu Hongzhi's face. He pulled out a silver curved knife from his right sleeve. Fang Yun realized this and was about to dodge when Tu Hongzhi swung the knife directly at Fang Yun.

The blade of light was clearly extremely powerful, almost solidifying. The moment it touched Fang Yun's body, it shattered Fang Yun's protective aura. Instantly, the poisonous gas that had been blocking the outside rushed into Fang Yun's pores. Unable to withstand it, Fang Yun spat out a mouthful of black blood.

"you!"

Fang Yun hadn't expected this person to have such strength. It seemed he had underestimated Tu Hongzhi's power. He shouldn't have rushed up so rashly; he should have prepared in advance to guard against this old thief's backup plan.

However, Fang Yun did not expect that the old man had such a silver crescent blade. Fang Yun simply judged that the blade was at least a magic weapon, but Tu Hongzhi seemed to have only recently acquired it, so he was not very skilled at using it.

If the full power of this scimitar could be unleashed, even Fang Yun would likely be unable to withstand it.

Even so, Fang Yun coughed many times in succession, and his figure floated far away before he could barely stabilize himself.

Those who had been looking up at the sky felt their spirits plummet when they saw Fang Yun being knocked down.

This is the strongest enemy Fang Yun has ever encountered. Although there have been Celestial Master level experts before, most of them were only half-baked or had unstable foundations.

However, Tu Hongzhi is a genuine Taoist master, and has been famous for a long time. Although his character is questionable, his skills are indeed beyond reproach.

The instant he repelled Fang Yun, Tu Hongzhi teleported to Fang Yun's side, reached into Fang Yun's sleeve, and snatched the golden Demon-Locking Tower from his hand.

"It really is a good thing! I didn't expect that you, an ordinary kid, would have such a treasure on you."

Tu Hongzhi looked at the small tower in his eyes again and again, his eyes sparkling with admiration.

He had gone through countless hardships to obtain the Silver Moon Scimitar, and had offended many people. He was forced to wander around because he was being hunted down. But today, he never expected to acquire an even more extraordinary magical artifact so easily.

It's true that you can't find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get it.

"Haha, this is truly heaven's help! Once I successfully refine this treasure, let's see who those old dogs will dare to hunt me down!"

Tu Hongzhi looked somewhat deranged, and his gaze toward Fang Yun held a hint of mockery and smugness.

"Kid, even though you're annoying, you brought me such a treasure. How can I ever thank you enough?"

"Fine, I'll show you mercy today and leave you with a whole corpse!"

After saying that, Tu Hongzhi suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted, "1.4 Avici Hell, rise!"

Suddenly, black mist appeared around Fang Yun. This black mist seemed to be composed of ghosts, and Fang Yun could see the souls hidden in this black mist.

They were all like animals from hell.

"Boy, today I'll imprison you in the hellish cage. You won't die anytime soon, so enjoy the rest of your time."

Tu Hongzhi then pressed down with his hand, and the black energy began to solidify, then shot towards Fang Yun like chains, with extremely fast and fierce speed.

Chapter 749 A Counterattack

When it touched Fang Yun's body, it immediately solidified into a shape, as if trying to lock Fang Yun in place.

"Heh, is this all you've got?"

Fang Yun's gaze toward Tu Hongzhi was icy cold. Tu Hongzhi's words were nice, but he only wanted to refine Fang Yun into his lonely soul so that he could continue to provide nourishment for him.

Fang Yun no longer felt any pity for such a malicious person.

It's only natural for a master to come and save his disciple. Even if the disciple made some mistakes, the master shouldn't die. That's why Fang Yun didn't immediately try to defeat him.

However, all the signs now indicate that this master is obviously much more insidious, and the disciple's behavior is probably also related to him.

If that's the case, then Tu Hongzhi is the ultimate culprit, and if this evil is not punished, the world will never be at peace.

"Fine, Tu Hongzhi, since you are so shameless, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Fang Yun stood in the middle of the cage, his face calm and serene, as if he were completely unaware of his surroundings.

He turned and looked up at the sky, a burning look appearing in his eyes.

"Since you want my Demon-Suppressing Tower, then today I'll show you what it truly means to suppress demons!"

At this moment, Fang Yun's aura suddenly surged. If he was just an ordinary person who occasionally let out a trace of aura before, then now he was a giant with rivers and mountains in his heart!

Having been in the underworld for many years, Tu Hongzhi immediately noticed something amiss with Fang Yun.

"Could it be that he's been hiding his true strength all along?"

Tu Hongzhi frowned deeply.

Fang Yun's current display of strength made him vaguely feel that something was wrong, and he even sensed a hint of danger.

"Could this kid be that strong? That's impossible!"

Tu Hongzhi comforted himself, thinking that if Fang Yun really had such great abilities, how could Gao Deng have been beaten like that without fighting back?

At that moment, Fang Yun's voice drifted into his ears.

"You're the First Yang Immortal, right? Today I'll turn you into a First-Level Immortal!"

After saying that, Fang Yun suddenly pointed his right hand at Tu Hongzhi and shouted, "Stop!"

Then, a golden light suddenly flew out from Tu Hongzhi's sleeve and flew directly towards Fang Yun. It was the Demon Suppression Tower that he had just taken away.

"No!"

Tu Hongzhi wanted to take it back, but he could only watch helplessly as the small golden tower flew back.

Before Tu Hongzhi could even recover from the shock of the loss, another silver light flew out from his sleeve—it was his own silver crescent blade.

"Today I'll show you what a true Silver Moon Scimitar is. Someone as insignificant as you could never wield this peerless sword."

At the same time, the silver crescent blade was already in Fang Yun's hand.

Tu Hongzhi watched helplessly as Fang Yun snatched the knife away, unable to do anything about it. He hadn't had the knife for long, and his control over it was weak; he was far from being able to wield it skillfully, merely forcing it to move.

But when the knife was in Fang Yun's hands, it was like a fish entering water, giving people a very lively and jumping feeling.

At this moment, the silver crescent blade began to emit a dazzling light under the moonlight. Fang Yun held the blade in his hand, and his whole being seemed to have transformed. Behind him, a towering phantom figure, tens of thousands of feet tall, stood up.

Those who were still watching the battle intently exclaimed in surprise, "That's the Moon Goddess!"

I don't know who shouted it first, and then others followed suit, saying that they had seen this statue in some temple. It was the statue of the moon goddess, but the phantom in the sky was very similar in shape, although they could not see the specific appearance clearly.

At the same time, Fang Yun slowly raised the curved sword in his hand and slashed it. The feeling was like a raging storm, an overwhelming force. The cold light flashing on the sword seemed to cleave the space itself in two.

He looked coldly at Tu Hongzhi and said, "Didn't you want to know how to use this Silver Crescent Blade? Then I'll demonstrate it to you now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge silver light slashed towards Tu Hongzhi. The silver light caused the true energy in Tu Hongzhi's body to tremble violently, which made him have no doubt that if he really had to take this blow head-on, he would lose his life here.

"go!"

Tu Hongzhi was a smart man and wouldn't care about saving face at this time. Since his life was in danger, he naturally couldn't stay there any longer; otherwise, he would be foolish.

Then, Tu Hongzhi seized an opportunity and fled backwards.
