The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Even if he were incredibly skilled, he definitely couldn't stay in Skyfire City any longer.

"So it was you who injured Master Xue?"

Wang Cheng walked up to Xue Shenyong and saw his cracked lips and bewildered expression, and a sense of shame welled up in his heart.

Xue Shenyong was already the strongest martial arts master he had hired to protect the courtyard, yet he still lost to this kid. Wouldn't that make him lose face completely? Especially since it happened next to Yang Xiaoqian, it seemed his image was going to be greatly tarnished.

"You're really useless. Weren't you supposed to be able to crush half a province with one punch? You still got defeated. From now on, you're not worthy to stay in the Wang family. Go collect your money and find somewhere to make a living."

Chapter 785 City Guards

"Wang Cheng, what do you mean? Young Master Fang has already been very tolerant. If you hadn't sent people to cause trouble time and time again, things wouldn't be like this today."

Yang Xiaoqian came out at this moment. She was afraid that Fang Yun would offend those soldiers. Although these soldiers were no match for him, it would not be good if a conflict broke out.

Upon hearing this, Wang Cheng's face showed an even colder sneer. He said, "What, you've only known him for a short time, and you're already speaking up for him?"

"I'm warning you, don't always think you can do whatever you want just because you have family power. Someone will definitely deal with you in the end," Yang Xiaoqian said solemnly.

"Hmph, the person who dares to deal with me, Wang Cheng, hasn't been born yet."

Wang Cheng was too lazy to talk to Yang Xiaoqian anymore. He looked directly at Fang Yun and said, "What, kid? You think you can fight? If you're so capable, why don't you try fighting again now? I'll lock you up for ten or eight years."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun's expression grew even colder, and he said, "Do you really think I can spare you a few times? I only see you as a fly and am too lazy to bother with you, but since you're so eager to die, I have no choice but to kill you even if it gets dirty."

After Fang Yun finished speaking, he walked towards Wang Cheng. Wang Cheng was stunned, not expecting Fang Yun to be so bold. He then looked at the group of soldiers.

These soldiers had long been bribed by Wang Cheng. When they saw Fang Yun approaching, the captain of the guards raised his spear first.

“I warn you, if you take two more steps, you will be offending the dignity of Skyfire City.”

"Such arrogance! Even if I kill you all here, what does it matter?" Fang Yun then said.

At this moment, Wang Cheng couldn't help but laugh out loud, saying, "Boy, I'm telling you, you're really that arrogant. It's one thing that you beat up my two servants, but how dare you be so bold as to offend the officials of our Tianhuo City? You really don't know what death means. Just wait to spend your whole life in jail."

On the other side, the servants were also watching Fang Yun's movements closely. They were hoping that Fang Yun would offend these soldiers so that they could find a crime to punish him and send him to jail.

Fang Yun wasn't stupid; he naturally knew what these people were thinking. However, he didn't care at all. Instead, he took a few more steps forward. At the same time, the soldiers were all staring at Fang Yun with predatory eyes, their hands unconsciously gripping their weapons tightly.

In this situation, it would be perfectly justifiable to kill Fang Yun on the spot.

Just as Fang Yun raised his hand, Yang Xiaoqian behind him suddenly cried out, "Young Master Fang, please don't! Even just admitting your mistake would be fine. If you do this, you will immediately become an enemy of Tianhuo City and will surely die!"

Yang Xiaoqian knew that the power of Tianhuo City was unfathomable. Offending the Wang family might allow her to escape, but if she offended Tianhuo City, they would always find a way to bring her back, no matter where she went.

Upon hearing this, the leader of the guards of Tianhuo City revealed an even more arrogant smile.

"This young lady is quite sensible. Kid, you'd better think it over. Are you going to keep recklessly drawing your sword, or kneel down and beg for mercy now, and I might consider forgiving you? After all, you're still young, hahaha, you should be given a chance..."

"Snapped!"

In the brief moment the man was speaking, Fang Yun suddenly stepped forward and slapped the guard captain across the face, leaving a bright red handprint on his already dark face.

He looked at Fang Yun with an incredulous expression, as if he couldn't believe what had just happened.

First, from the moment Fang Yun moved over to the moment he attacked them, almost none of them had time to react.

Secondly, Fang Yun actually dared to make a move, which was something no one expected.

“Very good, kid, you're the first person in all these years to dare to be so presumptuous.”

The captain of the guard had forgotten the pain on his face; now, only a raging fire burned in his heart.

The humiliation of that slap will forever be etched in his heart, and he will never be able to wash it away or let it go. Right now, the only thing he can do is to slap that person back hard and make that person disappear forever.

"Surround them!"

As soon as the captain of the guard reached out, several other soldiers stepped forward and formed a circle, all pointing their spears at Fang Yun inside the circle.

Seeing this, Wang Cheng could barely contain his smile. He had initially thought Fang Yun would back down, making it more difficult to capture him. Instead, Fang Yun had directly committed the crime, creating a blood feud with the guards. Now, even if Wang Cheng said nothing, the guard captain would likely do everything in his power to kill Fang Yun.

Since that's the case, I'll just stand aside and wait to see what happens.

On the other side, Yang Xiaoqian was also greatly shocked by what she saw. She hadn't expected Fang Yun to be so reckless. She had rushed to speak up precisely to prevent Fang Yun from suffering this loss, but she hadn't anticipated that he would still resolutely jump into the trap. Truly a quack doctor.

Chapter 786 Unexpected Changes

Although these guards anticipated that Fang Yun might be difficult to deal with, they didn't care much because they had a large number of people. They thought that once they swarmed him, Fang Yun wouldn't be able to withstand their attacks from all angles.

Therefore, there was not much suspense regarding the outcome of the battle, and the gazes directed at Fang Yun carried a hint of pity and mockery.

Anyone who dared to oppose them ended up dying a miserable death, and they hadn't encountered a young man as arrogant and ignorant as Fang Yun in a long time. Today was a good day to release the pressure they hadn't felt for a long time.

Fang Yun stood in the center of the crowd, his face unchanged from before, as if nothing in front of him existed.

"If you beg for mercy now, I might forgive you and stop bullying you," Fang Yun said calmly.

Fang Yun did not want to go on a killing spree against these people who were completely unrelated to him.

　080 "What did this kid say? He won't bully us? Am I hearing things...?"

At this moment, the guards who had just been serious couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the captain of the guards was even more furious.

In his view, Fang Yun dared to say such things only because he had just slapped him, which had emboldened him. Thinking this, the guard captain's anger intensified.

"Kid, you're asking for it." The captain of the guard spat out the words through gritted teeth.

If cannibalism were not illegal, no one doubted that he would devour Fang Yun alive.

"I'll have these spears pierce you one by one until there's nowhere left to pierce you," the captain of the guard said, each word distinct and menacing. Anyone could sense the murderous intent emanating from his words.

This caused not only Wang Cheng to become more composed, but also the servants who had been watching the spectacle to feel uneasy. In front of such a ruthless person, their aura was naturally much weaker, and they dared not step forward to say anything.

Meanwhile, Yang Xiaoqian clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh.

It wasn't that she didn't want to save Fang Yun, but that she was simply powerless to do so under the circumstances.

If she threatened to kill herself, she might at most get Wang Cheng to compromise a little, but she had no way to deal with the guards of Tianhuo City, because they didn't care about her life or death.

She could only sigh inwardly, realizing that one shouldn't be too arrogant, or trouble would surely follow. Now, all she could do was silently pray for Fang Yun, hoping that if anything happened to him, she could collect his body.

Meanwhile, Fang Yun shook his head and said calmly, "It seems you still haven't grasped the situation. I've already been very forgiving. If you insist on dying, I can't stop you."

"I don't know where you got your confidence. A grand martial arts master, leading a bunch of martial arts lackeys, dares to be arrogant in front of me."

As Fang Yun spoke the last few words, his tone changed slightly, giving the impression of dark clouds looming overhead, creating immense pressure. Even the captain of the guards paled instantly.

"Could it be that he..."

Just then, Fang Yun suddenly pointed to the sky, and a white light flew out from his sleeve. He then grabbed the white light and slashed it down at a man. The guard's spear was broken in two out of thin air.

"This, how is this possible!"

The guards were shocked, and for a moment they had no idea what had happened.

Looking at Fang Yun at this moment, standing there with a white light in his hand, he truly looked like a sword god wielding an unparalleled divine sword.

Then he raised his hand and swept it again, and another white light, almost solidified, slashed towards a person. In the path of the white light, it carved a mark several feet deep in the ground.

"Tear!"

With a crisp sound, the white light rushed towards one of the people and passed through his body.

Then, the man's face was filled with fear. He stood there without daring to move. Suddenly, a long tear started from the top of his armor and slowly spread downwards. In the end, the entire armor was torn in two as if it had been ripped in the middle and fell to the ground.

The guard's face was already covered in cold sweat, and his stiff body was unable to recover for a long time.

The group of people standing around him were now deathly silent, staring dumbfounded at the torn armor falling to the ground, not daring to utter a sound.

"This...this is something a human can do?"

This thought arose in the minds of all the guards. You see, the white light had just swept across the area, even tearing up the ground, but it hadn't harmed anyone. This level of control was far beyond what these junior martial artists could fathom.

"Is this something that only those at the Earthly Profound level can do?"

The head guard, being somewhat knowledgeable, knew that such a level of skill was beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.

Chapter 787 Subdued

The final outcome was that the captain of the guards suddenly knelt down and looked at Fang Yun, trembling.

"I was unaware that Lord Wu Xuan was in person, yet I dared to be so disrespectful. Please forgive me!"

The head guard was a man who could bend and stretch; now that he knew Fang Yun's strength, he naturally dared not act rashly again.

Although he had been insulted by Fang Yun before, if Wu Xuan had slapped him, there would be nothing to say.

After all, Wu Xuan was an absolutely powerful figure in Skyfire City. The captain of the guard had been fortunate enough to see him once before, but that was many years ago. Many people would never have the chance to witness Wu Xuan's prowess in their entire lives.

If their guards dared to cause trouble for Wu Xuan, it would be a huge joke.

Regardless of whether the guards have the capability, even if they could rely on their numbers and formation advantage, Wu Xuan could leave whenever he wanted and wouldn't need to pay any attention to them.

Therefore, in many places, Wu Xuan is a symbol of power and status, so it's not a problem for the guard captain to call Fang Yun "Lord Fang Yun".

"Lord Wu Xuan!"

At this moment, the other guards, seeing their captain's actions, naturally followed suit, bowing respectfully to Fang Yun one by one. Although they didn't know why their captain had suddenly called Fang Wuxuan, since the captain had confirmed it, these lowly underlings had no reason not to follow suit.

"He's a Martial Profound expert?" On the other side, Wang Cheng's smile gradually froze. "How is that possible? How old is this kid? How could he possibly be a Martial Profound expert!"

Wang Cheng was utterly skeptical, and when he saw the guard captain, his face showed a hint of shame and anger. He had spent a lot of money to invite him over to teach that kid a lesson, not to make him kneel down to him.

"Captain of the Guard? What are you doing? Seize this kid right now! Did he bewitch you?"

Upon hearing Wang Cheng speak, the captain of the guard's expression darkened, and he shouted at Wang Cheng, "You audacious brat, how dare you speak so arrogantly before Lord Wu Xuan! Quickly come over and pay your respects to Lord Wu Xuan!"

Wang Cheng stared at the guard captain in shock and roared, "So, you've secretly taken the bribes they gave you! I don't care what kind of Martial Profound expert this kid is, I'm just asking you one question: are we going to arrest him or not!"
