"The study room in the back hall, the fourth blue brick from left to right under the west wall..."
Chu Tianba held the Qingxiao sword in his hand and walked swaggeringly towards the back house of Sima's house.
The surroundings were brightly lit, with festive red lanterns and ribbons hanging everywhere, but such a festive and lively environment was as quiet as an abandoned house.
There is no bustle of people coming and going, and there is no noise of people drinking and drinking.
There wasn't even a murderous scream.
Normally, with Chu Tianba's cautious character, he would have stopped and observed carefully first, or even sent someone to inquire first.
But today is different. He designed such a big game just for the legendary reverse pattern knife. Chu Tianba had been preparing and forbearing for more than ten years, but now that the treasure he had longed for was right in front of him, how could he still be as meticulous and steady as usual.
Passing through the deserted corridor, I walked non-stop until I arrived at Sima Qingfeng's study.
There was no light in the study, so it was dark.
This place is a restricted area of the Sima family. Only Sima Qingfeng and Sima Chunlei can enter and exit. Other family members are absolutely prohibited from entering, not to mention the servants.
If you dare to enter the study without permission, the servants will be beaten to death with sticks without even listening to an explanation. Even Sima Xia Yu, the dignified second son of the Sima family, did not dare to enter the study privately, otherwise he would inevitably get a meal.
Chu Tianba has naturally been to this place before. But every time he was accompanied by Sima Qingfeng, and he always talked about some very important things, and usually left after saying that. He never had the chance to stay in this study for a long time.
Chu Tianba pushed open the door. He glanced around the room, then quickly walked to the lampstand in the corner of the study and took out the fire certificate from his arms.
He pushed the plug open with his fingers and blew lightly.
Bang!
Orange flames rose from the small bamboo tube and illuminated Chu Tianba's face in an instant. He subconsciously narrowed his eyes under the dazzling light.
At this moment, I suddenly felt wind behind my ears.
Uh-huh!
Something stabbed over, and the sound was already close at hand.
Chu Tianba felt chills in his heart. Even though he had traveled around the world for many years, he rarely encountered such a thrilling scene.
In front of him is the corner of the study wall. When something attacks him from behind, he cannot move forward to distance himself from the attack behind him.
The opponent's timing was also just right. Just when he took out the fire stick to light the lamp, his attention was distracted and his back was exposed to the opponent's attack vision.
An ordinary person would definitely die in this situation.
Neither being able to jump forward to dodge the attack, nor being able to turn around to block in time, the only thing left was that a dagger or sharp blade was stabbed into the back of the heart before he could counterattack.
But Chu Tianba is a veteran in the world after all, and he made the only right choice in a flash of lightning.
Plop.
His knees weakened and he knelt down, but this time he did not want to beg for mercy, but to better prepare his killing move.
The whole person was bent like a stringed strong bow. The Qingxiao sword in his hand drew a semicircular arc in mid-air and struck directly behind him.
Snapped!
That was the sound of the dagger being cut off by the Qingxiao sword.
Then there was the squeaking sound of the sword piercing the human body, mixed with the assassin's subconscious cry of pain, and the sound of blood dripping.
Chu Tianba slapped the ground with his left hand. The man spun on the ground like a top, then drew out his sword and stood still.
"Well……"
The assassin in black didn't even have time to say a word. The terrifying sword energy crushed his internal organs into a pile of minced meat, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
With a pop, the dead body fell to the ground.
"His grandma actually arranged for dead soldiers to guard this place..."
Chu Tianba couldn't help but spat at the assassin on the ground. If he hadn't been quick to think and relied on the sharpness of the sword in his hand, he would have died here today.
He stepped forward and used his sword to peel off the black scarf on the dead man's face, and found that the other man's face had long been covered with various scars, making it impossible to identify his identity.
Those scars were all old wounds, deliberately made long ago to conceal the identities of these dead soldiers.
Chu Tianba couldn't help but stabbed him twice more, but the assassin on the ground had already expired and was too dead to die anymore.
"The one who steps on the horse is Sima Qingfeng, this old dog!"
Chu Tianba cursed a few more times, then turned around to get the fire stick thrown on the ground and lit the lampstand in the corner of the room.
During the process of lighting the candlestick, Chu Tianba kept holding the Qingxiao Sword tightly in his right hand, for fear that while he was lighting the candle, another dead soldier would suddenly emerge from nowhere.
Fortunately, no second dead man rushed out until all the lampstands in the study were lit.
"It seems that the old dog only arranged for one dead soldier..."
Dead soldiers were no longer considered human beings. Not only did they have to spend a lot of money and manpower, but they also had to use poison-like methods to make them kill each other.
Often, a hundred people can only get two to three dead soldiers by raising Gu.
But these dead soldiers crawling out from the dead are no longer human beings. They are often indifferent to life, whether it is other people's or their own, and only know how to follow the orders of their masters.
Chu Tianba held the Qingxiao Sword and came to the west wall of the study.
"one two three four……"
He lowered his head and counted the green bricks on the ground until he came to the green brick where the reverse pattern knife was said to be hidden.
That blue brick was almost the same as the others next to it. If he hadn't been told in advance, Chu Tianba would never have imagined that there was something he dreamed of hidden under this seemingly ordinary blue brick.
Chu Tianba squatted down, gently picked the edge of the blue brick with his left hand, and was about to pull it out with force, when suddenly his heart moved.
Years of experience in the martial arts forced him to be cautious. If it hadn't been for the assassin's life-threatening assassination, he might not have been so cautious. But through the assassination between life and death, it was like a basin of cold water poured down on him. The extremely inflated greed was also suppressed.
Even if there are dead soldiers guarding it, there is no guarantee that there will be no other dangers here.
Chu Tianba let go of his left hand, looked around, and then focused on the dead soldier who fell to the ground not far away.
He walked over, grabbed the dead man's clothes tightly with his hands, and blocked the latter in front of him like a shield.
Snapped!
When the green brick was pulled out, there was a crisp sound of the machine button.
Immediately afterwards there was a rapid sound of breaking wind.
Whoosh!
Chu Tianba felt a huge force hit the dead body in his hand, and then he raised his head and saw the black arrow that had been stabbed half out of the body.
There is not even a trace of light on the arrowhead made of pig iron. Arrowheads like this must have been poisoned using a special method. Even if it is not a poison that seals the throat when blood is seen, it is definitely not an ordinary poison.
He took several steps back before throwing aside the dead body in his hand.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Sima old dog, you are really thinking carefully, hahahahaha..."
Chu Tianba sneered twice before he walked to the ground where the blue bricks had been pulled out.
Looking down, he could see a black box with an iron chain through the dim light in the room.
Hold the chain with one hand and pull it up hard.
The black box was held in Chu Tianba's hand, and even now he still holds the Qingxiao sword tightly in his right hand.
Pushing aside the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on Sima Qingfeng's desk, he then placed the black box in his hand on the table.
"Huh? This old guy has prepared quite a lot of things..."
A strange iron lock hung on the side of the black box. It seemed that the lock could only be opened with a special key.
hehe.
With a stroke of the Qingxiao sword in his hand, the iron lock was cut in half and fell to the ground.
Chu Tianba couldn't help but swallowed. He stared at the black box in front of him for a moment, like a top gourmet seeing an almost lost delicacy.
He gently pushed open the black box with his left hand, and a soft red glow poured down from the opened gap. The red light was soft and full of temptation.
Gudong.
Chu Tianba's swallowing sound echoed in the study room.
When the black box was pushed away, the counter-grain knife he had been thinking about appeared quietly in front of him.
Tiny patterns cling to the bright, snow-white blade, and a faint red light flows from those gaps, adding a bit of red light to the entire room.
"Hahahahahaha..."
Chu Tianba put the Qingxiao sword on the table, then gently placed his right hand on the Hongxia long knife, rubbing it slowly.
Buzz!
Suddenly there was a chill on his fingers, and he raised his right hand in confusion, only to find that the pad of the finger that had just been rubbing the blade had lost a layer of skin at some point.
A faint blood red seeped out.
"Hahahahaha..."
Chu Tianba looked at the blood seeping out of his fingertips and laughed even louder.
He succeeded, and he finally got the legendary reverse pattern knife!
From today on, his name, Chu Tianba, will be resounding throughout Jiangcheng... no, it will be resounding throughout Jianghu! From now on, the Chu family will be the most famous family in the world, and Chu Tianba will be the best swordsman in the world.
Number one in the world!
These four words seemed to have a strange magic power, causing the greed and desire in Chu Tianba's heart to expand rapidly, and for a while, they swallowed up all the little sanity that was left.
"I am the best sword in the world, hahahahahahaha...the best sword in the world! With this sword in my hand, who is my opponent among the heroes in the world? They can only bow to my sword, hahaha..."
Chu Tianba held the handle of the knife and took out the unsheathed Hongxia long knife from the black box.
Uh-huh!
The long knife danced across the sky.
Everything in the study room broke apart with a sound. The wooden shelves, books, porcelain and antiques were all cut open by the extremely sharp blade.
With a crackling sound, bits and pieces of various things fell to the ground, making a noisy sound.
Accompanied by Chu Tianba's increasingly arrogant laughter.
There is no complete item in Sima Qingfeng's study.
"It's a pity that my left hand was cut off. Otherwise, if I had a knife in one hand and a sword in the other, who else in the world would be my opponent, Chu Tianba..."
Half of his left hand was cut off by the Hongxia long sword. Although he had practiced diligently over the years, it was absolutely impossible to hold a sword without three fingers in his left hand.
Tap tap tap.
Suddenly there were a few light footsteps on the roof, as if someone was flying past on the roof using Qinggong.
"Hahaha, it's time for my precious sword to drink blood..."
Chu Tianba laughed and walked out with the Hongxia sword in his hand.
In the courtyard in front of the study, the moonlight covered the entire ground like snow.
Everything was white, like it was snowing.
Only Chu Tianba stood proudly in the middle of the courtyard, with the red-glowing Hongxia sword in his hand pushing back all the surrounding moonlight, leaving only a faint red light.
Bang!
The man on the roof stopped. He was dressed in black. Against the bright full moon in the sky, he looked more like a black crack that could never be filled.
"Boy! I don't care who you are from the Sima family. I can only say that you are unlucky today... No, you are lucky to die in the hands of Chu Tianba, the best sword in the world."
Chu Tianba pointed his long knife upward, and in his heart he regarded the unseen man in black on the roof as a dead person.
The man with a ruffled face looked back at the long knife that emitted red light. He heard Chu Tianba's shouting, but he didn't take it to heart at all.
"Boy, come down and die!"
Chu Tianba held the long knife in his hand and shouted loudly. His Qinggong was really mediocre, and he wasn't even sure he could fly to the roof and kill this guy in a handsome way, so he had to trick the guy down first.
Ah.
Nan Er held the long knife at his waist with his backhand and looked at Chu Tianba, who was barking like a mad dog in the courtyard, with only disdain and ridicule in his eyes.
"You blind bastard, I am Chu Tianba, the best swordsman in the world who will be famous in the world in the future!"
Chu Tianba felt the other party's contemptuous eyes sweep over him, and he suddenly felt a nameless anger swelling in his heart, and his pupils were instantly filled with bloodshot eyes.
He couldn't stand it, absolutely couldn't stand the way the other party looked at him like he was an ant. Why should you look down on me? I am Chu Tianba, the head of the Chu family in Jiangcheng, and the future number one swordsman in the world!
With the reverse pattern knife in hand, killing the world's heroes is as easy as slaughtering a dog.
Now he is looked down upon by a nobody!
Crunch, crunch.
There was a harsh sound as the teeth rubbed against each other, and Chu Tianba's mind was already filled with rapidly expanding murderous intent and twisted anger.
He raised the knife, and the red light of the knife reflected on his cheek, like blood coating his face.
"I'm going to kill you, bastard of a bitch, and cut you into pieces with a thousand knives! Cut your body into thousands of pieces! Crushed your bones and spread your ashes!"
Chu Tianba put his feet on the ground and jumped up suddenly. The long knife in his hand was raised high, and a red glow streaked through the air.
"I'm going to kill your whole family!"
Ah--
Nan Er just sneered and flew down.
Draw the knife, draw the knife, put the knife away.
Done in one go.
Dang clang——
Hongxia's long sword snapped in the middle.
