Chapter 129
Chapter 129 - The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets(2)
Yin Xu's night vision was very good, he nimbly avoided a few obvious mechanisms, and went upstairs while crouching down.
He didn't like the things on the second floor at all. He had already figured out where the things he wanted were the last few times he came here.
When he went up to the third floor, Yin Xu clearly felt that there were even more people guarding this floor, but he couldn't see a single person. If not for his abnormally sensitive five senses, he probably wouldn't have discovered the existence of these people.
Yin Xu thought in boredom: I wonder if this Sky Piercing Pavillion guard is on the same side as the ones that attacked him and Teng Yu that day. If they are, then he would definitely give them a huge gift when he leaves.
Yin Xu found a shelf, tore off the cloth bag he had prepared beforehand, and extended his right hand towards the iron lock outside the cabinet.
This shelf had all kinds of valuable items on it, because the items were all neatly placed on top of the shelf. However, there was a layer of iron bars on the outside, and a big iron lock was placed on them.
Yin Xu held the big lock tightly, a ball of black Qi emerging from his palm. In the blink of an eye, the big iron lock was slowly corroded, and then completely shattered.
Yin Xu swept all the items that he found pleasing to the eye into the cloth bag, but due to his hasty movements, there was only a little sound of them colliding.
With just that little noise, the guards in the building were startled. Yin Xu quickly tied up the bag and jumped onto the crossbeam to hide.
He hid his small body behind the pillar and stuck his head out to see what was going on below. He saw a few black shadows gathering towards the place where he had stayed.
Yin Xu did not want to be exposed right now, if these few people saw the broken lock and disappearing object, they would definitely surround the building so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak out.
Yin Xu thought for a while, then took out a few copper coins from his pocket and threw it in different directions. He deliberately controlled his strength, and with a few copper coins, he smashed onto the shelves, producing a very light sound of impact.
The shadows paused for a moment, then split up and floated towards the place where the sound had come from. When they arrived, they didn't know where the copper coins had gone to, so they didn't notice anything strange.
Yin Xu waited until they had left before descending from the beam beam, and then took out a jade Buddha and a jade ruyi from another shelf. It was a pity that this Hui State City did not have any jade carving beauties, otherwise, that would definitely be his first target.
After filling half of the bag on the third floor, Yin Xu tiptoed quietly towards the fourth floor.
Just as he stepped onto the stairs, the floor suddenly went soft, causing Yin Xu to feel like he was stepping on air. Seeing that his body was about to fall, Yin Xu immediately took a breath and retracted his foot, at the same time, four black arrows shot out towards his face.
Yin Xu knew that he had activated a mechanism. Damn it, how could there be a mechanism set up on the stairs?
Yin Xu did not have much time to think, his body dodged and dodged to the left and right to avoid the three arrows.
Yin Xu did not dare delay any further, jumping the top ten steps, and going up to the fourth floor in large strides.
Without waiting for him to come out, a few large blades swept towards him with a cold light. Yin Xu crouched down and agilely dove into the gap between the two black figures.
In an instant, the entire Sky Piercing Pavillion sounded out with an ear-piercing alarm.
Yin Xu's gaze turned cold and he turned around. A dagger appeared in his hand and he twisted his arm to cut off one of the black figures' neck.
There was a warm feeling from the liquid on the back of his hand, a familiar smell entered his nose, and Yin Xu waited for the other black shadow to come closer, before slapping his palm on the opponent's forehead, absorbing his essence.
Ever since he dual cultivated with Teng Yu, Yin Xu's power had increased greatly, and a few small guards were no match for him.
Furthermore, after fighting them, he found out that these people were on a completely different level from the assassins he met in the Shenlu Mountain that day.
After kicking the two corpses down from the third floor, Yin Xu headed straight for his goal. In a corner of the fourth floor, there was a weapon specially placed there that had been obtained from an unknown source of Sky Piercing Pavillion.
Most people wouldn't buy these things. Those who truly needed them might not be able to. Therefore, even if there was only one weapon in the world, it was still very hard to sell.
However, Yin Xu felt that these things were the true treasures of the Sky Piercing Pavillion, and were absolutely not something that the myriad of objects that could not be used in the first place could be compared to.
He received a box of darts, and the heavy weight in his hand made his heart rejoice. This set of 24 darts was definitely the most poisonous poison that could kill people without them noticing.
Other than this, Yin Xu also took out a short blade, a treasure sword, an unknown pair of boots, and a metal box.
Each pellet was only the size of a thumb. When Yin Xu came here, he had wanted to grab hold of it and study it, but unfortunately, there were too many people around him. A few guards in the shop stared at his hands with sharp eyes, afraid that he would hurt something good.
After putting everything he could put into the cloth bag, Yin Xu pulled out the only treasure sword that he could not put in, and aimed it at the guards who surrounded him.
Their black clothes allowed them to blend in well, but they were nowhere to be seen in front of Yin Xu.
Yin Xu quickly killed a few enemies, and from time to time, there would be the sound of people falling, but from start to finish, the opponent did not make a sound. Recalling the identities of these people, Yin Xu suspected that they were trained to be puppets.
Otherwise, why were their eyes so glazed? His movements lacked a bit of agility and agility.
Suddenly, the sound of a flute came from downstairs, Yin Xu's hands paused for a moment, and his arms were struck by a black shadow. He kicked the person away, and saw that his opponent's body had hit a few rows of shelves, and made a loud noise.
Just as he was about to go downstairs to see what the flute music had done, Yin Xu suddenly felt a chill behind him, and subconsciously rolled on the ground. When he turned his head around, he was shocked to the point that his eyes were wide open.
Behind him, a black-clothed man with one missing arm was holding a knife and maintaining the action of cutting a melon. If he was not mistaken, this man had clearly been cut in half by his own knife, and had died.
But now, this person was standing right in front of him, walking towards him with a stiff and persistent step. The large blade in his hand was emitting a cold light.
“Huh?” Is he really a puppet? ” The sound of the flute suddenly changed its tune, it was sharp and resounding. Yin Xu saw that the black-clothed men who had fallen down earlier had stood up once again.
They were neither in pain nor in joy, neither in grief nor impatience. They picked up their weapons and attacked him, but their movements were more rigid than before, and it was impossible to tell that they had stopped breathing.
Yin Xu was a little bit excited. He smashed the head of a black-clothed man with a palm strike and waited beside him for a while. He only stopped after he was certain that he would not be able to stand up again.
After that, he used every move to move the other party's head. Only then did he stop these things from continuing to attack.
When he was the only one left alive on the fourth floor, Yin Xu gathered his Spirit Qi at the tip of the sword and with a few slashes, he split all the shelves into two.
After waiting until no one was left standing, Yin Xu took his sword and went downstairs.
Maybe because the voices above did not stop, the other party did not know that Yin Xu had killed all the black-clothed men.
But very quickly, the sound of the flute stopped, and Yin Xu closed his eyes to feel the effects for a while. Then, he walked to a corner on the second floor.
“Who exactly are you? Why did you come to my Sky Piercing Pavillion in the middle of the night to cause trouble? ” Just as Yin Xu was about to approach the corner, an aged voice came out from inside.
Yin Xu stood still and laughed, “Isn't that obvious? Coming here in the middle of the night, naturally, it's not for the sake of money, but for the sake of life.
“Then, does esteemed guest have enmity with Sky Piercing Pavillion?”
Yin Xu raised his sword and sliced open the shelves in front of him, revealing the seats at the back. There, in the corner, sat a white-haired old man, with a jade flute in his hand.
“It can't be considered as enmity. It's just some friction.”
The old man turned his head around, revealing a terrifying face. The scars on his face were crisscrossing; there was actually not a single bit of good skin on his face.
It was a good thing that Yin Xu was bold, and did not care about the appearances of the humans, “Are you the one who controlled all the puppets in this building?”
“Puppet?” The old man shook his head and looked at Yin Xu absentmindedly. For some reason, Yin Xu felt like he was being watched by a poisonous snake.
However, he quickly rebutted his opinion because the other party said, “Those are not puppets. They are merely the medicine people for this old man to test his medicine.”
“Oh, that's such a pity. They're all dead now.”
“It doesn't matter. They aren't alive anyway.” The old man let out a hoarse laugh. His voice was like a broken gong in the ears of others; it sounded like a knife cutting into an iron pot. It was extremely uncomfortable.
Yin Xu picked up a simple stool from the ground and sat down, then started to chat with the old man.
“You are also from the Sky Piercing Sect?”
“So what if I am? “So what if it isn't?”
“If you are, I'll ask you about someone. If you answer well, I'll let you go, okay?”
The old man's malevolent face trembled as he held back his laughter and said, “A brat that's still wet behind the ears, you really are confident in yourself.”
Yin Xu shrugged his shoulders, “I have always been like this, it's a pity that no one believes it, but it doesn't matter, as long as people don't believe it, they will have no choice but to believe it.”
The old man turned the jade flute in his hand and asked with some confusion, “Who do you want to ask about?”
“Right Protectorate of the Sky Piercing Sect!” Yin Xu drew a few strokes on the ground with the tip of the sword and asked casually.
“What Sky Piercing Sect? The old man has never heard of it, and is even less familiar with the Right Protectorate. “
“Haha …” Yin Xu did not say anything, he only raised his sword and pulled it with a flower of swords, then heavily slashed towards the old man.
The old man sighed and raised his jade flute to block. The jade flute was divided into two, and a narrow wound appeared on his face from his forehead to his chin.
“Or have you never heard of it?” Yin Xu raised his legs and flicked the sword blade downwards, his gaze looking at the other party's legs that had not moved at all.
At this moment, he realized that this old man was not doing well. It seemed that he didn't want to run but couldn't.
“Cough, cough …” The old man wiped the blood off his face, revealing a smile with his yellow teeth. “So what if I said it?” Will you really let me go? “
“You can take a gamble. Maybe I'll let you go when I'm in a good mood?”
“Haha, Seventh Young Master of the Huo Family really cannot be underestimated. Unfortunately, even if you kill me, you will still get the same answer.”
Yin Xu stood up and took a few steps forward. The ground was covered with shattered treasures under his feet, and his clear voice was especially ear-piercing in the dark night.
“Since you want to die, then I'll grant your wish.” Yin Xu was just about to take action, when he saw the other side sprinkling a bag of powder at him, accompanied by his unpleasant voice: “Haha. “Brat, you're quite arrogant. However, no one has ever told you to be this cautious in the martial arts world.”
Yin Xu stood where he was without moving an inch, the powder had no color and no smell, and just by looking at the nose he could not tell what it was, but seeing the old man's confident look, it was most likely extremely poisonous.
He pursed his lips and put a bit of powder into his mouth along with his tongue. “So what if you're not cautious?” he asked as he pursed his lips.
The old man's hand still maintained its motion, and the smile on his face became more and more stiff as Yin Xu's upright posture, and finally turned into fear.
“No …” This was impossible! No one will be safe and sound after getting hit by the Seven Colored Flower! “
Yin Xu didn't know what the Seven-colored Flower was. He used his sword to draw a wound on his finger, seeing that the wound was bleeding with blood that changed color slightly, he raised his eyebrows, “Not bad, its medicinal strength is quite strong, it's a pity … “It's useless against me!”
He swung his sword and with a flash of light, the strong sword Qi cut off the old man's head. Black and purple blood splattered everywhere.
The corner of Yin Xu's mouth widened into a smile as he lightly said: “What Seven-coloured Flower? If I was willing to use my own blood, I'd probably have already fallen by now.”
He turned around, slung the cloth bag over his shoulder, and walked down the stairs with a steady gait.
Just as he was about to leave his room, Yin Xu took out a fire piston and lit up a shelf containing books at his side.
