Jing Yu continued to descend, lightly lowering his body to stand on the roof of the main building. His hand kept spinning, wrapping around the 200-meter-long string. He finally retracted it before it fell to the ground. His pair of sharp eyes scanned the surroundings…When he looked in a certain direction, he paused for a moment, and the corners of his mouth curled up inexplicably.
"Eh?"
On top of a corner tower, a soldier wearing heavy armor and holding a crossbow let out a surprised cry. He came to the edge of the corner tower where he could see the sky inside the mansion. He raised his head and looked outside a few times, a puzzled expression appearing on his face.
"What's wrong?" The soldier who was patrolling with him asked.
"I think I saw a flash of light.”The soldier from before was a little hesitant, but in the end, he raised his hand and pointed at the sky.
His companion was stunned for a moment. After walking over to take a look, he said,"Are you seeing things?"
"I…maybe." The soldier naturally felt that this was a little unbelievable.
The two of them stopped talking and returned to their previous patrols. Just below this corner tower, the Thief Plantar's hands and feet hooked onto the wooden beams of the corner tower's upturned eaves, easily maintaining a balance. He was lying flat on the ground, but he raised his head again and saw the process of Jing Yu descending from the sky lantern to the main building.
Sometimes, compared to strength, wisdom could also make people feel awe.
After what he had just seen, Thief Zhi felt that he needed to update his information on Jing Yu. Not only did he possess a profound swordsmanship realm as Teacher Xu had said, but the wisdom he displayed at this moment was also truly astonishing…That flying lantern was not something that anyone could imagine. And even if he thought of it, he still had to calculate its load and wind direction, and he had to be brave enough to put it into practice. Falling from a height of several hundred meters meant death. This was a test of courage.
" He's bold and resourceful, and he's also born with divine strength…" The corner of Thief Zhi's mouth twitched." This kid is really going against the heavens.”He believed that Jing Yu definitely wouldn't have tried it in advance just for today. Then, he directly did it and succeeded on the first try.
Seeing that the small body on the main building had already begun to move, he did not dare to delay any longer. He heard the two people walking inside the corner tower. As they walked to the sides and moved away from each other…he jumped out of the eaves and gently pressed his hand on the tiles. He flipped over and nimbly entered the corner tower…The whole process was done in one go, without a sound. He succeeded in an instant.
Neither the two patrolling soldiers nor the soldiers in the other turrets noticed him.
On the main building, Jing Yu naturally relied on his perception to determine this point.
"Thief Zhi's skill is indeed swift, it has already surpassed the reaction limit of ordinary people.”
Seeing that the other party had not only come, but had also begun to take action, he naturally could not relax. Jumping down from the top of the main building, he silently stepped on the eaves of the next floor, and then the next floor, and then the next floor…Yanchunjun's main building had four floors, and the lowest floor was the widest, and then the floors decreased. After Jing Yu jumped down three times, he was now outside the window of the second floor.
Perhaps Lady wanted to help him, but there were windows that were not locked from the inside. He pushed open the window and jumped into the room.
According to what Lady had told him in advance, the ore was hidden in the underground treasure vault of this building. Although it was the end of the Warring States Period, some of the mechanisms were something that even Jing Yu, who had driven a Gundam before, would praise. The opening of the underground treasury and the traps inside were such mechanisms.
There were only eight guards on the lowest floor of the main building, and there were even four good swordsmen. Every two hours, there would be a shift change. It had just entered the 11th hour, so Jing Yu still had time.
As for the third floor upstairs, there were some small traps that could trigger the sound of the copper bell. For example, when Jing Yu had just jumped into the second level, his two feet had stepped into two holes. There were thin threads of tree roots around his legs, and golden copper bells hung on them. There was no light in the room, and thanks to the help of his Listening to the Sound of Everything, he did not encounter this trap when he entered.
He took a deep breath and his body disappeared without a sound. He used his hand to borrow strength from the beam, and when he landed again, he arrived at the staircase leading to the first floor…There was already the light of an orange oil lamp shining in.
Downstairs was a four-sided room. Because there were many oil lamps placed there, there was only a cross-shaped passage…from the direction of the door, it led directly to Yanchunjun's seat inside, as well as the passage in the middle of the room that was vertical to it.
The four swordsmen followed the direction of the cross and knelt in the middle of the room with their backs facing each other. The eight soldiers stood in groups of two, each holding a spear and standing three meters away from them, facing the swordsmen. He had to kill them in an instant to prevent any of them from making a ruckus and allowing the surrounding ambush to charge in.
Jing Yu took out eight throwing knives from his pocket. Although he had never specially cultivated hidden weapon skills, people at his level had already grasped the word "reason"…if the same type of thing was good at the same, then it could be good at everything.
Jing Yu somersaulted in the air toward the stairs leading downstairs while curling his legs. When he landed on the stairs, he was facing downstairs. The moment he stepped on the stairs, his left hand had already thrown out eight throwing knives like a fairy scattering flowers. His right hand touched the sword hilt on his back, and after exerting force on his foot, he charged at the four people who were still kneeling like an arrow.
One of them was facing him and was already showing signs of drawing his sword. However, Jing Yu was a step faster. The black bladeless sword, along with the sword qi he had cultivated, swept across the area where the four of them were kneeling. When Jing Yu stopped on the other side of them, the four of them fell to the ground, their heads clearly detached from their bodies.
Jing Yu didn't stop. When the eight soldiers were about to fall, he kicked a corpse to support them. This way, although there were some small sounds, the people standing guard outside the door did not notice it.
Shaking off the blood on the sword, Jing Yu put it back into the sheath on his back. He looked at the end of the room opposite the door. There was a square area surrounded by red tents, covered with gorgeous cushions. He walked over and lifted the cushion. As expected, he saw a secret door that was about one meter wide and two meters long. As for the mechanism, he turned to look at the oil lamps around the room. According to Lady, the key to open the mechanism was the third lamp in the first row to the right of the cushion.
He walked over and rotated the lamp holder. As expected, the secret door opened horizontally and entered the ground. When Jing Yu walked over again, there was a slightly dark passage under the secret door. He didn't even take the lamp and walked straight in…
About fifteen minutes later, when Jing Yu walked out of the ground, he saw Thief Zhi and the other two who had also arrived. He tossed the fist-sized object wrapped in a black belt in his left hand and smiled at Thief Zhi.
"You guys are late."
"Perhaps it's not too late." As Thief Zhi spoke, he flew towards the small bag that Jing Yu had thrown towards his left hand.
Time seemed to have slowed down. The free fall of the small bag was obviously not as fast as the speed of the thief's plantar. In a short distance of 10 centimeters, it was his hand that grabbed the bag first, and not the bag that fell into Jing Yu's hand first. However, Jing Yu's black sword was also placed on Thief Zhi's neck.
"I know. With this speed, I can't pose a threat to you.”He shrugged his shoulders regretfully and wanted to return the small bag to Jing Yu. During this process, he kept looking at Jing Yu's expression, but could not find the slightest bit of relaxation. Helplessly, he really let go of the bag.
After Jing Yu received it, he also moved his sword away.
"I heard that you have the Lightning Divine Steps. You can try it next time.”he said with a faint smile.
Thief Zhi frowned. He didn't know if Jing Yu's words were more of a bluff or if he really wasn't afraid of his speed increasing again. In fact, he did have the intention to use the Lightning Godly Steps now.
"In an instant, he killed 12 people from different positions, and four of them were experts.”A slightly cold and clear voice sounded. Gao Jianli retracted his gaze from the corpses and turned to look at Jing Yu." You're really amazing."”
"It's just a sneak attack. It's nothing." Jing Yu was humble. Of course, it was just his words." Gao Jianli, I didn't expect you to come with the two of them.”
"You…knew I was coming?" Gao Jianli raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.
Jing Yu didn't answer him. Instead, he asked,""I'm very curious. How did you know that I was in the snow maidens 'room that day?”
The two of them looked at each other. Gao Jianli didn't answer him immediately and asked,""Is she safe?"
It could be said that Gao Jianli was also a proud person. However, his pride might not be liked by others. For example, Jing Yu was already frowning.
"I hope…this is the last time you ask about her.”He said with a hint of killing intent," Xue 'er, it's not your turn to worry.”
The room fell silent. Jing Yu was waiting for Gao Jianli's answer. If he dared to say no, Jing Yu would definitely kill him here. Thief Zhi had obviously noticed this and secretly gave Big Hammer a look…They were here under the order of the giant to recruit Gao Jianli, so how could they let him die here?
Except, the killing intent that was revealed from Jing Yu's body was too sharp, truly making Robber Zhi feel incomparably troubled. Because he knew that Jing Yu was absolutely serious. If they were to fight over this, even if they managed to escape unscathed, they might really become enemies in the future.
For now, Thief Zhi could only pray that Gao Jianli didn't say anything wrong.
"That day, I happened to pass by a passageway near Miss Snow Girl's room and heard her voice. You may find it strange, but I am a zither player, so my hearing is better than ordinary people.”Gao Jianli suddenly began to answer Jing Yu's question." So, I know where you are…Recently, Miss Snow Girl has changed a lot. Especially after seeing her for half a day today, I can tell that she's very happy. That's what you gave her, something I can't do.”
Not only was he unable to do so, but he was also nothing more than a stranger to the snow maidens. The snow maidens had never put down their ice shells in front of him. At the thought of this, Gao Jianli's face remained cold, but a hint of relief appeared in his eyes…It then turned into a determination that was willing to risk his life.
"If you want to kill me, then do it. Even if I may not be your match, I will still fight with all my might.”His hand was on the hilt of his sword." I still have big brother's last wish to fulfill. I can't die here.”At this moment, he had already decided that if he could survive, he would join the Mo Family.
"Hmph, you've already given up. If I were to kill you again, I would really be laughed at for being petty.”Jing Yu deliberately looked at the Thief Zhi, who must have thought so, and the latter hurriedly looked at the ceiling…his disguise was so obvious.
