The banquet only ended after midnight!
Zhang Hao had been sitting quietly on the roof for two hours. Although there were guards jumping on the roof from time to time to search, it was fortunate that Zhang Hao had been using the invisible barrier, so he was not discovered.
Zhang Hao jumped into the room through the window and opened the door quietly. He found the stairs from the corridor and went all the way down to the living room. Although they met a few servants along the way, Zhang Hao was invisible and jumped over their heads. No one noticed him. Seeing this, Zhang Hao was secretly pleased with himself. He felt that he had the potential to be a thief.
In the living room, several servants were cleaning up the mess, and a few people were standing at the side chatting. Zhang Hao slowly moved along the wall from the staircase. He had to walk to the marble on the right side of the living room and then climb up. It was always the first rule when breaking into a house. Zhang Hao planned to find the girl, follow her, and steal the jade pendant back when she fell asleep.
The people standing there chatting were Blood Wolf, Demon Wolf, Demon Wolf's wife, and Alice. These people were all within Zhang Hao's expectations. Other than them, there was also the City Lord's wife. She was holding the arm of a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man looked quite noble. He must be the City Lord of Croc City.
Surrounded by these people was a golden-haired, blue-eyed woman. Zhang Hao saw the jade pendant on her wrist from afar. It seemed that this was the masked girl from the day. Her face was as white as jade, and her pink lips were a little red. The blue and white aristocratic woman's long dress made the girl look graceful.
He was quite good-looking! Zhang Hao sighed in his heart as he slowly moved along the wall.
The others did not notice that there was an invisible person moving quietly on the wall. However, Alice, who Zhang Hao thought was the weakest among them, kept looking over, which made Zhang Hao's hair stand on end.
"Alice, what's wrong?" Blood Wolf noticed that the girl was looking at the corner of the wall frequently and asked curiously.
"I feel like there's something there!”Alice stared at Zhang Hao with her eyes wide open.
Sanguine Wolf squinted his eyes and smiled."Alice drank some fruit wine and got a little drunk. Her eyes are blurry!”
"Alice is not drunk!" The girl mumbled and started walking towards Zhang Hao's hiding spot. Seeing this, Zhang Hao could only smile bitterly. He gently tapped the ground and floated up, silently retreating to the stairs. As expected, Alice definitely possessed some kind of unique talent. Zhang Hao had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
"He moved again!" Alice pointed at the stairs with Zhang Hao and said to Blood Wolf.
Hahaha, everyone burst into laughter. This was a noble's mansion, and there was one Intermediate Elemental Warrior, three Intermediate Magicians, and one Radiant Star Wargod. No one would dare to behave atrociously in such a situation. Even if the highest-level assassin of the bandits came, they could easily capture him.
Seeing that no one believed her, Alice walked to the blonde woman in a fit of pique and said,""Sophia, look, they don't believe me!”
At this moment, Zhang Hao began to think of retreating. With such a wonderful person like Alice here, although the others did not believe Alice's words, he still felt uneasy. Zhang Hao found it strange. He remembered that when he followed Alice last time, her senses were not so sharp.
Although Sophia was not much older than Alice, when she heard her call her sister, love surged into her head. She smiled and nodded. She closed her eyes, and a blue ball appeared in each of her hands and flew to the stairs.
" Not good!" Zhang Hao cursed in his heart. He was about to dodge when the two blue balls stopped in front of him, emitting a blue light. Zhang Hao's transparent barrier was illuminated by the blue light and instantly collapsed. Zhang Hao's figure appeared in front of everyone.
It was a magic spell, the Light of Reflection. They didn't expect that there would really be a Bandit lurking in the living room. Everyone was stunned by this turn of events. Zhang Hao was also stunned. He had not expected that there would be such a strange detection spell.
Zhang Hao was the first to react. He took a step with his right foot and used all his strength to pull out his long sword. He pointed it at Sofia and pounced at the girl as if he was one with the sword.
"Assassins!" The Intermediate Elemental Warrior Zinte finally reacted. He shouted loudly, hoping to alert the guards outside. His right hand subconsciously reached for his left waist, but he couldn't feel anything. Only then did he remember that because they were attending the welcome banquet, no one brought any weapons.
While he was in a daze, Zhang Hao had already rushed past him. Zinte did not expect the thief to be so fast. Even if he wanted to block the sword with his body, it was too late. He could only look at Zhang Hao's back and reach out weakly, trying to grab Zhang Hao.
Looking at the tip of the sword that was rapidly approaching her, Sophia revealed a fearful divine eye. It's over. Am I going to die here? Not only did Sophia think so, but anyone in the living room who saw Zhang Hao's swift sword thought that Sophia was doomed.
The middle-aged man, the Radiant Star War God, was Samshen's father, the Castellan of Crocco City. Right now, his heart was filled with despair. Sophia's full name is Sophia. Pannushus was the sister of the Demon Wolf's wife, the little princess of the Torres neutral nation. The king loved this little princess dearly. If she was assassinated at home, even if his son was the second princess 'husband, the king would definitely remove his family from the nobility in a fit of anger.
Looking at the frightened look in the girl's eyes, Zhang Hao found it rather interesting. He was here to steal the jade pendant, not to kill.
Under everyone's terrified gazes, Zhang Hao's sword changed. As if it had a spirit, it turned and stabbed towards the girl's wrist. Sophia felt a chill on her right wrist. She felt as if something had loosened.
Zhang Hao used the back of his sword to gently pick up the falling jade pendant. The jade pendant was grabbed by Zhang Hao in his left hand. He took the time to smile apologetically at Sophia as an apology for scaring her.
These actions were completed in an instant, and no one else could react. Since Zhang Hao had already obtained the jade pendant, he leaped into the air, wanting to break through the roof and escape from this place. Suddenly, an ear-piercing scream came from below. A square-shaped, super-large blue barrier enveloped Zhang Hao and the others.
Zhang Hao would never have thought that his apologetic smile would cause the barrier to appear.
Because Zhang Hao's face was covered, his apologetic smile turned into mockery in Sophia's eyes. This made Sophia very angry. She, who was originally so frightened that she could not move, quickly came back to her senses and let out an ear-piercing cry. The large blue binding barrier was quickly completed.
The reason why people with different hair colors and eye colors became nobles was because the people in this world had a strange characteristic. If you were born with a strange talent, your hair color and eye color would be different when you were born. According to the Bible, in order to allow people to better distinguish between leaders and sentient beings, God decided to make the leader's eyes and hair color different so that everyone could better confirm their identity.
Sophia's talent was to cast a barrier instantly. As long as she shouted, the magic power in her body would quickly form a barrier. There was no need to recite those awkward spells. The louder the cry, the wider the range of the barrier, and the stronger the barrier itself.
Zhang Hao saw a blue wall suddenly blocking in front of him. Without thinking, he slapped it over. Sophia saw that he was actually using his hands to hit her enchantment and found it quite funny. If his hands could break the enchantment, why would he need a weapon?
Zhang Hao slapped out with his palm and felt a strong rebound. He had no choice but to withdraw his palm force. His momentum was blocked, and there was nothing for Zhang Hao to borrow strength from. He could only fall from the sky.
Tortoise patterns appeared on the spot where Zhang Hao's palm hit, just like the cracks on bulletproof glass after being hit by a bullet. Moreover, the cracks were still spreading rapidly, and the entire barrier emitted a creaking sound as if it would shatter at any moment.
Sophia's face suddenly turned pale, and she began to chant a spell that Zhang Hao could not understand in a low voice. The cracks stopped spreading and began to flow back. Zhang Hao knew that the barrier had begun to repair. Thinking of this, he jumped up again and focused all his strength on the sword. He wanted to pierce through this barrier with one sword.
Just as the long sword was about to touch the barrier, the sound of a blade cutting through the air came from behind. It seemed to be accompanied by the sound of flames burning. Zhang Hao turned around and saw that Zinte was holding a 'fire sword' with both hands. It was a real fire sword, a burning fire sword.
Zhang Hao was shocked. He had never seen such a strange thing. Flames could actually form swords. In his shock, he could only turn around, turn his arm, and with 100% of his strength, meet the flaming sword with his long sword.
The sword and fire clashed, but there was no sound of swords clashing, nor was there any sparks. As soon as the Flaming Sword touched Zhang Hao's sword, it inexplicably disappeared. Zinte opened his mouth wide and welcomed Zhang Hao's sword with an incredulous expression.
Zhang Hao didn't expect the flaming sword to suddenly disappear. The sword was about to cut Zinte into two. Zhang Hao had only come for the jade pendant and did not want to hurt anyone. However, the momentum of the sword had already worn out and he could not retract it. He could only shake his wrist and turn the sword's edge. The horizontal slash turned into a horizontal slap and he retracted all his internal energy.
However, in a hurry, he only withdrew 70% of his internal strength. The longsword with 30% of his internal strength hit Ginte's chest. Blood Wolf spat out a mouthful of blood and fell from the air. Alice, who was standing beside Sophia, shouted,"Brother Zinte!" Then, she rushed over.
Forcefully withdrawing internal energy was a big taboo for those who practiced internal energy. If you had 70 or 80 years of internal energy, it would be fine. However, Zhang Hao only had 13 years of internal energy. Even if his root bone was extraordinary, he could not withstand the force of the internal energy backlash and fell from the sky together with Zinte.
As soon as he landed on the ground, Zhang Hao spat out a mouthful of blood. However, his internal strength was also circulated again and no longer surged back. However, his internal strength was now less than 40% of what it was before he was injured. As soon as Zhang Hao spat out the blood, a loud shout was heard. The dining table that was nearly 10 meters long, which was usually used by nobles, suddenly swept toward Zhang Hao.
Samshen's father, the Castellan of Crotch City, who looked like a cultured and refined Shanshan, was now like a true god of war. He was actually dancing the ten-meter-long dining table alone, sweeping it to Zhang Hao's left with a whooshing sound.
His timing was very good. Zhang Hao had just fallen from the sky, but because he had to slow down the internal energy that was surging back, he was a beat slower. In addition, the dining table was long, so Zhang Hao had no way to dodge now. He could only stiffen his hair and transfer all the internal energy to his left hand to block the lightning strike of the dining table with his arm.
Everyone present thought that Zhang Hao was a mantis trying to stop a chariot. A ten-meter-long noble dining table made of high-quality sandalwood was at least 300 kcal (about 600 pounds). Other than the Holy Knight's Holy Barrier or the Radiant Star Battle God's Battle Energy Shield, no one else could block it, let alone a thief who was only known for his speed.
The fist and table collided, and the dining table immediately shattered into pieces. The City Lord pinched the two table legs and was about to let out a long breath when he saw a figure approaching him. Before he could react, his forehead suddenly received a heavy blow. His vision went black and he fainted.
Zhang Hao gritted his teeth. His left shoulder was in excruciating pain, and he could no longer move. It seemed that his shoulder had been dislocated. Although the City Lord had been knocked unconscious, the fatty couple had taken advantage of this opportunity to start preparing their spells. It seemed that they were about to complete it. His internal strength was about to be exhausted. Zhang Hao smiled bitterly. It seemed that he would not be able to leave tonight.
At this moment, Zinte, who had fainted on the ground, suddenly got up and shouted,""Stop! He has a divine artifact in his hand, the Devour Sword! Let him go!"
Fatty and his wife were stunned when they heard this. They stopped preparing their magic. Sophia seemed to have been stimulated and stopped chanting. The blue barrier began to crack rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it shattered and disappeared into the air.
Zinte spat out another mouthful of blood and fainted again. Alice was so scared that she called out for Brother Jinte. In the blink of an eye, she saw the mayor fainted on the ground. She immediately cried and shouted for her father to rush over.
It seemed that he was fated to be called the Devourer. Zhang Hao smiled bitterly and took a deep breath, wanting to store more internal strength. The surrounding guards had all swarmed in and surrounded the living room. As soon as the magic wolf gave the order, he would dismember the thief.
Zhang Hao placed a trace of internal strength on the Thief's Emblem and disappeared in front of everyone. The guards were about to charge forward when Demon Wolf waved his hand and stopped them. With a loud bang, a large hole suddenly appeared in the roof, and a transparent human figure flew out of the hole.
