The gates of the City Lord's Mansion were wide open, and a few sneaky figures carrying large and small bags walked out quickly, disappearing into the alleyway on the opposite side.
A day had already passed, and the effects of the sleeping incense had weakened. A few people who were slightly unconscious had already woken up and were taking advantage of the situation.
The City Lord's Mansion contained an endless amount of wealth, so it was naturally the focus of many people. Waves of thieves came in an endless stream.
Lin Xuan and Qu Jianyi were like the others. They covered their faces and pretended to be thieves, sneaking into the City Lord's Mansion.
As soon as they stepped through the gates, Lin Xuan immediately felt the sword embryo in his body begin to stir, vaguely pointing him in a direction.
Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat. He thought that direction was very likely to be the location of the Sword Casting Platform.
"Lin Xuan, let's split up and search. The Sword Casting Platform must be in the City Lord's Mansion. Over the years, there have been people who have completed their goal of collecting souls, but in the end, they all died in the City Lord's Mansion. You must be careful!" Qu Jianyi exhorted.
"Master, I seem to have sensed the location of the Sword Casting Platform. Follow me!"
Lin Xuan quickly walked into the depths of the City Lord's Mansion.
Qu Jianyi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed.
Along the way, they occasionally saw guards who were about to awaken, but they were all killed by Lin Xuan.
Gradually, the two of them arrived outside a palace. The palace's doors were tightly shut, and the words' Heart of the Sword Hall 'were written on the door.
"It should be here."
Lin Xuan's eyes flashed as he tried to push the door. However, the door was incomparably heavy, and there was a bolt blocking it from the inside, so it did not budge.
Seeing this, Qu Jianyi threw down his saber and went to help.
However, even with their full strength, they could not push the door open at all.
"The door is locked from the inside. I'm afraid we can't open it like this. We have to think of another way!" Qu Jianyi frowned.
Lin Xuan took a few steps back and circled around the hall. He found a ventilation window at the side of the hall. Although it wasn't big, it wasn't a problem for people to enter.
He bit down on the long saber and retreated a distance away. After running for a while, he suddenly jumped up and grabbed the edge of the window. With a light push, his whole body landed on the window.
Vigilance filled his heart as he carefully observed the interior of the hall. He saw that it was very spacious inside, and thick candles were lit all around, so that the hall was not dark at all.
At the end of the hall, a black iron platform stood quietly. It was faintly flickering with a faint light, as if it didn't belong to this world.
"Sword-forging Platform!"
Lin Xuan's eyes lit up.
Right at this moment, a soft cough rang out in the hall. Although it was very soft, due to the echoes, it clearly reached Lin Xuan's ears.
Lin Xuan looked towards the source of the sound and saw that in a dark corner of the hall, a figure lying on the ground trembled slightly, as if he was about to wake up.
The figure was wearing a luxurious golden robe. At first glance, he didn't look like a guard or servant.
"This guy must be Yuwen Zhi!"
Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly. Without hesitation, he jumped out of the hall and rushed towards the figure.
While he was sick, he had to take his life.
From Qu Jianyi's words, Lin Xuan already knew the strength of the Yuwen family's disciples. If he waited until Yuwen Zhi woke up, he was afraid that even if he and Qu Jianyi worked together, they might not be a match for him.
Lin Xuan ran as fast as he could while raising his long saber. The edge of the saber slashed through the void, making a slight sound of breaking the air.
Fifty steps, forty steps, thirty steps …
Lin Xuan's speed was getting faster and faster, and he was getting closer and closer to Yuwen Zhi. In the blink of an eye, he was within ten steps of Yuwen Zhi.
At this time, Yuwen Zhi actually sat up with difficulty. He opened his fluffy eyes, and what entered his eyes was a flash of cold light from a blade.
"Who!"
Yuwen Zhi was scared out of his wits. He immediately woke up, and cold sweat dripped down from his forehead.
Lin Xuan did not hesitate at all. He poured all of his power into his long saber, stepped into the air, and slashed down fiercely. The sound of breaking the air was ear-piercing.
Shoo!
The long saber slashed through the air, and slashed towards Yuwen Zhi's head like a mountain.
Yuwen Zhi was shocked and furious. He instinctively raised his right arm to block above his head. At the same time, he quickly rolled, trying to avoid this fierce saber.
However, Lin Xuan's saber was extremely fast. Because Yuwen Zhi had just woken up, his movements were a bit sluggish.
With a muffled sound, Lin Xuan's long saber slashed deeply into Yuwen Zhi's shoulder, almost cutting off his right arm. Blood splashed everywhere.
However, Lin Xuan was not satisfied with the effect of this saber. He was even a bit surprised.
Although his saber was no longer sharp, it should still be able to cut off an arm.
But now, the long saber was stuck in Yuwen Zhi's bones.
This was not a problem with the saber, nor was it because Lin Xuan was not strong enough. It was because Yuwen Zhi's body was strong enough.
"Ah!"
Yuwen Zhi let out a scream. At the same time, his body shook violently. With a bang, an invisible force spread out and knocked the long saber out of the wound. Even Lin Xuan could not help but take seven or eight steps back. His right hand holding the saber was slightly numb.
"F * ck!"
Lin Xuan could not help but be shocked.
Although he had heard from Qu Jianyi that the Yuwen family members would have the strength of dragons and elephants when they reached adulthood, it was only at this moment that he truly understood Yuwen Zhi's strength.
Yuwen Zhi's strength was far beyond the ordinary strength of this world of heritage. Just the force of this vibration alone was at least five thousand jin of strength.
However, Lin Xuan's arms did not exceed four hundred jin of strength. The difference was too great.
However, no matter how great the difference was, Lin Xuan would not sit still and wait for death.
The moment he steadied himself, he immediately roared and rushed forward again. His long saber struck at Yuwen Zhi like lightning.
At this time, Yuwen Zhi had completely recovered. He flipped over and glared angrily at Lin Xuan. The moment Lin Xuan's long saber struck, he changed his footsteps and suddenly moved three feet to the side to avoid the blade.
At the same time, his left hand formed a palm and swiftly struck the saber.
Bang!
There was a loud explosion.
Lin Xuan was shocked to find that his long saber had been broken into three pieces. Only the hilt was left in his hand.
"F * ck! What kind of monster is this! This guy is simply cheating! "
Lin Xuan cursed in his heart.
Yuwen Zhi's lips curled into a mocking smile. He snorted coldly. "Hmph, kid, you must have come from beyond the heavens, right? To be able to reach this step, it shows that your luck is not bad. Even I almost fell into your trap.
It's a pity that your luck is not good enough after all! This is the first time I've been injured since I was young. In the coming days, I'll make sure you live in regret and pain for the rest of your life! "
The moment he finished speaking, he suddenly stepped forward and quickly reached out his left hand to grab Lin Xuan's neck.
Lin Xuan's face darkened. He threw the saber hilt at Yuwen Zhi and retreated at the same time.
Bang!
The saber hilt hit Yuwen Zhi's face, but Yuwen Zhi did not even bother to dodge. When the saber hilt was inches away from his face, it was blocked by an invisible wind and bounced back. Yuwen Zhi was not injured at all.
However, the saber hilt was not useless. Yuwen Zhi's body was slightly delayed and he was unable to grab Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan now understood that the monster in front of him was not someone he could fight against. In fact, he could not even take one hit from Yuwen Zhi.
He made a prompt decision and quickly turned around and ran back the way he came. As the saying goes, where there is life, there is hope. The most important thing was to save his life first.
At this moment, he used an unprecedented speed and shot toward the window from which he came.
Yuwen Zhi sneered and chased after him. Wind whistled around his body and he was as fast as lightning.
Lin Xuan heard the sound of the wind behind him and could not help but feel anxious. At the same time, he was a little surprised. Although his confrontation with Yuwen Zhi was short, his master Qu Jianyi should have already reacted.
But until now, he still did not see Qu Jianyi's figure.
However, he did not have time to think too much. He quickly came under the window, stimulated his body's potential, and suddenly jumped out of the window.
The moment he came out, he saw his master Qu Jianyi and also clearly saw Qu Jianyi's expression and movements.
At this moment, Qu Jianyi was standing three meters away with a dignified expression. He held a bamboo tube in his left hand and a lit match in his right. His eyes were full of murderous intent as he stared at the window, as if he was preparing for something.
Lin Xuan came out of the window and rolled on the ground.
Qu Jianyi did not even look at Lin Xuan. His eyes were still staring at the window without blinking.
The next moment, another figure flew out of the window. It was Yuwen Zhi.
Just as Yuwen Zhi's head popped out and before he landed, Qu Jianyi moved.
In an instant, he inserted the match into the bamboo tube and pointed it at Yuwen Zhi.
Puff!
A beam of black smoke mixed with fire spewed out of the bamboo tube and sprayed toward Yuwen Zhi.
Yuwen Zhi was sprayed directly and his face turned black. He rolled on the ground and quickly got up. He wiped the black ash off his face and looked angrily at Qu Jianyi.
"Qu Jianyi, I didn't think you old thing would dare to come! Today, I will end you together! Die — Ugh! "
Yuwen Zhi was plotted against by Qu Jianyi and his eyes were spitting fire. He immediately rushed toward Qu Jianyi and wanted to kill him.
However, just as he took a step, he suddenly staggered and his burly body could not help but sway.
At this moment, he only felt that his head was heavy and his feet were light. His head was dizzy and he was drowsy. He shook his head violently but could not clear it at all.
He gritted his teeth and took a step forward. Then, he lost consciousness and his body fell backward. With a bang, he hit the ground and fainted.
"Phew —"
Qu Jianyi threw away the bamboo tube and let out a long sigh of relief.
Lin Xuan also stood up at this moment. He looked at the fainted Yuwen Zhi and then at Qu Jianyi, who still had a lingering fear. His expression was thoughtful.
Lin Xuan had already noticed the bamboo tube that Qu Jianyi had lit earlier. While Qu Jianyi was making incense, he had also been fiddling with the knockout incense in the bamboo tube.
Unlike the incense that had a delayed effect, the knockout incense in the bamboo tube was not only flammable and explosive, but it was also very effective.
However, the knockout incense in the bamboo tube was only suitable for a very short distance. It also needed to be lit manually with a match. It was almost useless in battle, so Lin Xuan did not take it to heart.
