179 Schememing (1/2)

Zhao Feng inspected this treasury room.

From the moment he had entered, his left eye had scanned the entire landscape, including where some guards were placed.

There was one thing that could be confirmed - this place was indeed the most central part and was the most protected.

Quan Chen had spent two to three days worth of time to reach here, and at least forty guards were cleared in order to reach here.

Zhao Feng knew that there were several hundred guards within the castle, and that it wasn’t easy for Quan Chen to reach here. The latter must have paid a hefty price even though he was at the peak 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm in strength.

With Quan Chen’s mindset, would he let someone take the rewards?

Therefore, Quan Chen’s proposal to split the treasures “fifty-fifty” was definitely not realistic.

…..

Zhao Feng understood that, by using Quan Chen, he had arrived at the central area with less difficulty.

The treasury at his front was the same size as a lounge, if not slightly bigger, and the aura of treasure inside could make any cultivators’ heart pound.

“An inkling of aura from these is more potent than a normal Spiritual weapon.”

Zhao Feng’s senses were even sharper than Quan Chen’s. After all, he had handled a Spiritual weapon before.

Spiritual weapons were extremely precious and most clans only had one or two that were treated like a heirloom.

Furthermore, this was only the aura from the treasury - it probably wasn’t even one one-hundredth of the true aura within.

“Brother Zhao, why don’t we split up? One of us distracts most of the guards while the other goes inside the treasury and steals all the treasure?”

Quan Chen squeezed out a smile.

“Steal? Brother Quan, don’t make it sound so bad. There’s no owner here - who knows how many years it has been since his death? We’re taking it in full light.”

Zhao Feng snickered.

“Yes, yes, we’re taking it.”

Quan Chen laughed stiffly and suppressed the anger in his heart. Since when did this ant dare to talk to him this way?

The two then discussed who would lure away the guards and who would snag the treasure.

Zhao Feng first scanned the entire treasury and caught traces of arrays inside. His left eye could barely see through the walls and see the contour lines inside.

“Brother Zhao, your movement skills are quite good, so there’s not much of a problem for you to distract the guards. Of course, if you don’t want to, I can.”

Quan Chen said generously, as if he didn’t mind which choice Zhao Feng made.

Most would probably choose the latter since they would only feel safe if they were the one to take the treasure.

“Ok. I’ll distract the guards.”

Zhao Feng replied.

“Sure.”

Quan Chen was somewhat surprised but still laughed coldly in his heart. No matter what you choose, you’re still a chess piece that’s being sent to it’s death!

Firstly, Zhao Feng had just arrived at the castle and didn’t know some of the hidden dangers. If he chose to distract the guards, he would attract more and more danger.

Secondly, if Zhao Feng chose to enter the treasury, all Quan Chen needed to do was distract the guards and then disappear without a trace, which meant that droves of guards would return to the treasury.

Therefore, Quan Chen didn’t care which choice Zhao Feng made, as both choices spelled death for him.

………..

There were around twenty to thirty guards stationed near the treasury whose strength ranged from the 4th to 6th Sky, so distracting these guards was a dangerous job.

According to the plan, Zhao Feng needed to distract at least half.

Peng!

Zhao Feng punched out the ensuing air wave hit the walls of the treasury and shook the entire room.

The treasury had an array protecting it, and the instant it was hit, a red glow appeared which caught the attention of some nearby guards.

Ceng! Sou!

Zhao Feng’s figure blurred as he attracted ten to twenty guards towards the outer area.

Of these guards, around ten or so were at the 4th Sky, four at the 5th Sky, and only one silver guard at the 6th Sky.

“Great job Brother Zhao!”

Quan Chen laughed smugly as joy and coldness flashed in his eyes.

After being chased by so many guards, maybe only Yang Gan was able to retreat without being harmed. Even Bei Moi and himself would find it extremely dangerous.

Furthermore, Zhao Feng had just entered the castle and didn’t know any of the other dangers.

Zhao Feng’s figure turned into an after image as he circulated his Heavenly Wind True Force to it’s utmost, boasting speed superior to most cultivators at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm.

This was because he had reached a high level in the Heavenly Wind God Technique, and the purity of his True Force was even better than normal cultivators at the 4th Sky.

Furthermore, Zhao Feng had merged his illusion fish picture into this skill, which made his speed even faster than Quan Chen’s.

Apart from that, these guards were decked out in heavy armor that enhanced their defenses, with the impediment of their agility and range of motion being the only liability.

Using his agility, even the guards at the 5th and 6th Sky weren’t able to catch up to him in a short amount of time.

His left eye could see through walls and predict some of the hidden dangers.

As for the landscape, he was even more familiar with it than Quan Chen.

Soon.

Zhao Feng had attracted these guards to the entrance of the building.

At this time, the guards who could still catch up were the guards at the 5th Sky as well as the one silver guard.

Only the silver guard’s speed was on parity with Zhao Feng’s, but its agility was far worse.

Zhao Feng’s left eye could peer into the guard’s body and see the flow of energy inside, which allowed him to predict the other’s attacks beforehand.

Zhao Feng managed to dodge the silver guards’ attacks many times - were he to be hit, he would be seriously injured, if not dead even, despite his Silver Wall Technique having been trained to its highest level.
