Chapter 5 The Qian Family Treasury
The Qian family appears to have been completely wiped out, but the reality is not that simple.
At least the second young master, who was having fun outside, has returned.
Looking at the bags scattered all over the ground, Xu Tianyi didn't know which one to lick first.
He simply took three thousand taels of silver from Old Qian and then went back to his own courtyard to retrieve the original owner's belongings.
The original owner was sold to the Qian family when she was five or six years old.
So his surname isn't Qian, and his name isn't Qian Wude.
He only remembered that his surname was Xu.
That's right, he's probably also called Xu Tianyi.
Xu Tianyi went back to get a map, as the original owner longed to one day return to find his parents.
The map was actually just a mountain and a village; it was his last memory.
After receiving the drawing from the original owner, Xu Tianyi turned and left.
They immediately saw the second young master, Qian Diping, crying bitterly.
That's right, the four young masters of the Qian family, the most powerful and influential in the world.
Choosing a name is really interesting.
Xu Tianyi thought to himself, "Why don't you call yourself Gao Diping?"
He slowly drew the sword he had just retrieved from the guard leader.
Qian Diping hadn't expected that the Qian family still had guards alive.
"You are... Third Brother's bodyguard... What exactly happened..."
He was speaking when he saw Xu Tianyi rushing towards him, and he panicked: "Wait!!"
Xu Tianyi glanced at the group of elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people around him and immediately smiled.
"What, young master Qian, don't you want to go down and keep your family company?"
Although Ning Hongye slaughtered the Qian family, many still escaped.
She probably isn't afraid of retaliation from these ordinary people, otherwise her Yin God Eyes could see through things to a certain extent.
Qian Diping was somewhat startled when he realized that Xu Tianyi, who was opposite him, was actually a martial arts master.
He quickly said, "Young hero, please hold your hand... If you kill me, you won't be able to take the Qian family's wealth with you. Why not keep me alive? Whatever you want, I'll give it to you..."
Xu Tianyi originally wanted to kill him halfway through his story, since the feeling of suddenly striking and instantly killing someone was quite exhilarating.
But he actually offered me a condition that appealed to me.
Yes, I can't take the Qian family's wealth with me by myself, but if I leave him here and he can hold onto it, wouldn't it be better to come to him when I'm short of money?
Or rather, he has some treasures he doesn't know about.
Thinking of this, Xu Tianyi smiled: "Very clever. Where is your treasure trove? Let me see..."
Qian Diping seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Young hero, please follow me. Please take whatever you want. The Qian family has suffered a great calamity and only hopes to save these old and young people."
After saying this, he shed two tears.
This behavior actually made Xu Tianyi feel a little sympathy for him, but the next second he was disdainful.
You and your eldest and second brothers are not cut from the same cloth.
Your older brother got married and you went out to have fun, and you often abuse and kill young girls, yet you act like you're so righteous.
The more Xu Tianyi thought about it, the more contemptuous he felt. He was determined to kill him after he got his things.
"Lead the way. Once you satisfy me, I'll leave."
Qian Diping immediately led the way.
A moment later, he led Xu Tianyi, accompanied by several guards, to a rockery.
Sure enough, the treasures of these families were hidden beneath the traps.
After he activated the mechanism, a large, dark door appeared.
"This is the treasure trove of my Qian family, containing all sorts of antique paintings and calligraphy, precious medicinal herbs, as well as martial arts techniques and divine weapons. Please feel free to take whatever you fancy..."
Xu Tianyi nodded silently and slowly leaned forward, seemingly looking inside.
Qian Diping's expression remained unchanged, but he was secretly overjoyed.
He would go in and then lock it himself.
"Pfft..."
Xu Tianyi approached and immediately drew his sword, turning his head to strike.
Qian Diping reacted quickly, but his guards were unlucky; one was beheaded and the other was forced to retreat.
"Young hero, you..."
Xu Tianyi disliked idle chatter. "The treasure vault is already open, what's the point of keeping you around?"
But this sword strike failed to kill him, clearly indicating that the opponent was also on guard.
It seemed he truly had ulterior motives, for he quickly turned and thrust straight at the opponent's Zhongjiao acupoint.
He prefers to stab people in the liver and gallbladder area. If he hits them, they will be completely incapacitated and there will be no way they can fight back while clutching their stomach.
Even if the stab is to the stomach or lung, the victim will still collapse and wait to die.
Damage to the internal organs is no joke.
He had experienced the feeling of stomach pain himself.
"bite!!"
A sound of weapons clashing rang out.
Qian Diping actually managed to block the sword strike, which surprised Xu Tianyi.
You should know that his swordsmanship was honed through countless trials in his previous life. He could pierce through a thick bamboo with a single sword strike, and his power and speed were extremely fast.
Now that I possess the internal energy of a martial arts master, although I am not very skilled at mobilizing it, it is definitely not something that an ordinary martial artist can easily parry.
The fact that the opponent was able to intercept his sword with precision and deflect it shows that he already possessed some skill.
Xu Tianyi was constantly assessing his opponent's strength, but his hands didn't stop. He turned around and swung his sword.
This sword strike was very tricky; the upward thrust appeared to be aimed at the opponent's longsword, but in reality, it was aimed at the opponent's knee.
He crouched low and lunged upwards, attacking his opponent's lower body.
Sure enough, the attack angle changed, and the opponent couldn't catch it in time. The sword grazed Qian Diping's thigh, leaving a patch of bright red blood.
To his surprise, the other person's blood began to gush out violently.
This is highly unscientific, because even arterial bleeding wouldn't spray like that unless the leg is broken.
It felt like something was sucking his blood out of his wound, or perhaps he was deliberately spitting blood out.
Upon seeing this, Xu Tianyi quickly retreated, fearing that the blood might be poisonous.
When you encounter something you don't understand, you must be cautious.
Seeing Xu Tianyi retreat and disengage, Qian Diping quickly mobilized his internal energy, and the blood he had spurted out was actually drawn back by him.
The wound on my leg began to heal as the blood receded.
"You're being unusually cautious..."
Xu Tianyi stared at the other person's wound, which was beginning to heal, and a sense of unease arose in his heart.
At this moment, I no longer wanted to kill him; I just wanted to leave.
There's no need for me to fight such a strange thing head-on for the sake of a little cultivation. Besides, there's even a bloody smell in this treasure vault, so there might be something wrong with it too.
It would be unwise for someone who is not a master to let himself be held back by him.
After I go back and hone my inner strength, I can kill him in just one or two moves.
Thinking of this, Xu Tianyi snorted coldly: "Wicked and heretical methods!!"
He turned around and abruptly retreated out of the courtyard.
Qian Diping hadn't expected the other party to give up so easily, and he was immediately unwilling to give up: "Stop him!!"
Outside the courtyard, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard continuously.
The more pressure the other party exerted, the more worried Xu Tianyi became. They were definitely up to something, and he couldn't stay any longer!
He stepped onto the courtyard wall, then leaped more than five meters into the air, turning to observe the situation.
Immediately, at least three nets flew down from below, along with more than a dozen arrows aimed at them. Behind them, Qian Diping also produced a small flying wheel.
He immediately realized that there was indeed a trap.
Xu Tianyi reacted instantly. He adjusted his position, dodged the two nets, and then used his inner energy to push back the net in front of him before disappearing into the crowd.
With a whirlwind slash, sword energy shot out, instantly cleaving four servants within a three-meter radius in two.
He then turned around and grabbed a servant as a shield, blocking Qian Diping's flying wheel.
Xu Tianyi had lost all will to fight, turned around, broke through the crowd, and quickly retreated.
None of the servants in the outer courtyard dared to resist. After pursuing them for a while, Qian Diping gave up with a grim expression.
Then, Xu Tianyi heard a terrifying roar coming from the Qian family, the location of which was the treasure vault!
A sudden feeling of relief welled up inside him.
The other party either raised monsters or demons.
I am only a third-rank martial artist, and not even a skilled one at that. If I were to encounter them, it would be a fight to the death.
Trying to win by fighting with knives is simply laughable.
A person without a powerful ultimate ability has a very low chance of winning against someone with one!
