Chapter 5 (1/2)

Chapter 5: Do You Want Toilet Paper?

It was now already nighttime, and it just so happened that even the moonlight was covered up. One could even consider it as one of those nights where one’s own five fingers would not be visible. It was precisely a dark and windy night, a perfect time for an a.s.sa.s.sin to infiltrate the Imperial Palace and kill someone or commit arson.

Ye Jinning easily found Xuan Xiao Pavilion with familiarity, dressed completely in black with a black mask. However, once he entered, he had not even gotten a good look at the situation before he found more than one hundred crossbows shooting towards him!

This was truly a critical moment between life and death. If he was the slightest bit careless, it would result in him being stuck onto the wall behind him with arrows.

However, since Ye Jinning dared to act as an a.s.sa.s.sin and teach Hong Xiaobao a lesson, he truly possessed some capability. As the only son of Thunder Sound Pavilion’s Second Elder 8-star martial artist Ye Feihong, he was a genuine 2-star martial artist who had already trained to the point of being able to use Strength Qi to protect his body!

After those arrows collided into his true qi s.h.i.+eld, they instantly slowed down by more than two times. Ye Jinning then brandished a longsword and sliced all of the arrows in half with numerous swis.h.i.+ng sounds, causing the arrows to topple to the ground.

“This frivolous cripple. What use can these things have towards true experts? Peh!” Ye Jinning spat in disdain, but he still continued onwards cautiously.

All of a sudden, without knowing what mechanism he touched, an innumerable amount of crossbow bolts suddenly shot out towards him from the surrounding walls!

“Trifling contraptions!” Ye Jinning once again used true qi to guard his body, then twirled and leapt about, his sword flas.h.i.+ng like snow. In the blink of an eye, the sharp arrows clattered to the ground.

“This Hong Xiaobao is only capable of this much.” Ye Jinning laughed coldly. It seemed as though this place was b.o.o.by trapped with numerous pitfalls. However, they really were not that useful. They might have been of some use against a 1-star martial artist who just began cultivating, but they were nothing to a 2-star martial artist.

However, out of Ye Jinning’s expectations, once the traps began, one could say that they were continuous without cease. He had not even taken two steps when an enormous steel wire net dropped down onto him from the ceiling! The net gleamed, so Ye Jinning knew that it was specially manufactured, meaning that normal knives and swords would not be able to cut it apart. As such, he decisively looked for a crack in the east most direction and immediately dashed towards it.

Crash….

The steel wire net crashed onto the ground, making faint clanking sounds. Ye Jinning had not yet stabilized himself when the ground suddenly shook abnormally. It was actually a gigantic ball-shaped cage that looked like the huge maw of a beast that chomped upwards from the ground! If he was truly captured by this iron cage, he would really become a turtle in a jar, available for anyone to butcher.

“He actually has some ability.” Ye Jinning frowned. Currently, he had already arrived in the northeast corner of the hall, while the front, left, and rear directions were all dead ends. There was only a bit of s.p.a.ce in the right-most direction, and it could be said that this was the sole path to life. He quickly and resolutely zipped towards the right, but he did not imagine that right when he turned into that side, his feet had not even stepped onto the ground when the floor actually caved in, leaving an immense hole!

“Not good!” Ye Jinning saw that it definitely would not be good if he fell in. Even if he did not die, he would not have anymore face left. However, he was not an ordinary person, so his sword immediately stabbed into the wall. He then used his momentum to leap, more or less stabilizing himself onto the sword hilt and not falling into the hole.

At this moment, the hole closed up again with a rumble. After Ye Jinning overcame this obstacle, he finally let out a sigh of relief. However, he did not expect that right at this moment, a faint red gas would suddenly spray out from the surroundings. Currently, it was right after Ye Jinning had expended all his strength, so new strength had not yet arisen. Furthermore, he had already avoided all the traps, so his mindset was not as alert. As a result, he inhaled in a breath. Immediately, his abdomen hurt as though knives were twisting it apart, and Ye Jinning’s entire face turned as red as a tomato while sweat perspired in layers on his body!

If one was to talk about this red smoke, it really was a sort of toxic poison. It was called Clinging Turtle Powder, and after inhalation, it would result in severe abdominal pain. In short, it was a relatively quick-acting laxative!

Normally, one can hold in stool but not urine. However, when one has diarrhea, stool is definitely less bearable than urine!
