Chapter 31

Who is the person coming?

It's none other than Ren Tianxing, the King of Thieves who had a brief encounter with Dongfang Xiuzhe three years ago!

Ren Tianxing infiltrated the cave smoothly; the defenses here were much laxer than he had imagined.

He came for one reason: to steal a treasure—the Nine Turns Nightlight Cup!

Clinging to the wall like a gecko, he crawled along the cave ceiling. Although there were bandits passing below, no one would detect him with his "Divine Concealment" martial skill!

"Divine Concealment" was a new martial skill he had mastered over the past three years. He had pestered the old man for a long time before he finally agreed to teach him this skill. Although he had only reached the初级 stage, it was more than enough to fool these small-time bandits.

"Divine Concealment" not only hides one's aura but also makes the body transparent. This was his master's signature skill!

The current Ren Tianxing was much more mature than he was three years ago. He did not act immediately but quietly hid in a dark corner, waiting for the best moment to strike.

His hiding spot was excellent, allowing him to clearly see the situation in the hall and the corridor through a crack. Every movement of anyone was visible to him!

"That one sitting in the main seat must be their leader. The object on the table in front of him should be the 'Nine Turns Nightlight Cup.' I didn't expect my luck to be so good today, saving me a lot of trouble!"

Ren Tianxing felt secretly pleased, determined to succeed in this mission.

Now, he just needed to wait until they fell asleep before he could make his move!

Knowing it was still early, Ren Tianxing began to close his eyes and rest, preparing to be in the best state for the action.

After an unknown amount of time, a sudden sound of footsteps caught his attention.

Through the crack, he saw a little boy, about three years old, being escorted by several bandits towards the hall.

These guys, do they even spare children?

Ren Tianxing frowned, though he disapproved, he still remained hidden.

"Damn it, hurry up, the boss is waiting to question him. What are you dawdling for?" one bandit pushed the little boy, showing extreme impatience.

"Damn it, it's all because of this little brat that so many of our brothers died, even the second boss..." another bandit cursed.

Ren Tianxing was about to close his eyes and rest again when he suddenly noticed that the little boy had stopped and was smiling at his hiding place, a smile like a hunter who has spotted his prey.

"What's going on? Did he discover me?" Ren Tianxing suddenly felt uneasy, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could a child possibly detect my presence? This must be a coincidence!"

He tried to reassure himself, but the little boy's smile left him unsettled. It seemed familiar, but he couldn't recall where he had seen it before.

"Who is this little boy? Why do I suddenly feel uneasy?"

Ren Tianxing, too preoccupied, could no longer rest. He continued to observe the situation outside through the crack, paying particular attention to the little boy.

The little boy was pushed into the hall, where many bandits glared at him.

However, whether it was because he was fearless like a newborn calf or because he had something to rely on, the little boy showed no fear in front of these ruthless killers. He even had a slight smile on his face.

"Little brat, you dare to be so arrogant in front of our boss!" a bandit said, ready to slap the little boy.

"Step back, I have something to ask him!" the man on the stone seat spoke, his voice hoarse and dangerous.

This man was the leader of the bandits, known as "The Butcher"!

The bandit didn't dare to make a sound and stepped aside.

"Kid, I ask you, who are you?" The Butcher rubbed a blue ring on his finger, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

The hall was unusually quiet, and no one dared to breathe heavily when The Butcher spoke.

Ren Tianxing, who had been paying close attention, could clearly hear the voices inside. He also wanted to know who this little boy was.

"Are you the boss here?" the little boy asked instead, rudely pulling a chair and sitting down.

"This kid is indeed a bit cocky!" Ren Tianxing was speechless. He thought that if he were in the little boy's position, he would not be so relaxed.

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" The Butcher stared directly at the little boy, making it clear that he was not bluffing.

The little boy laughed lightly and looked straight at him, "That's what I'm going to do next!"

"Ha ha~"

After a brief moment of eye contact, The Butcher suddenly burst into laughter, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Even Ren Tianxing, hiding in the dark, almost laughed out loud. He thought this kid must be crazy. Even he didn't have the confidence to kill this guy known as "The Butcher," so how could this little kid, who hasn't even grown all his teeth, talk such big talk?

If he angers these guys, they will really kill him!

"Kid, you say you want to kill me, just you?"

The Butcher reached out and grabbed a stone bowl, crushing it to pieces with a single effort!

What a powerful grip!

The little boy snorted in disdain, stood up, and stretched his arms. Then he lightly tapped a stone table nearby.

"Just me!"

The other bandits couldn't hold back their laughter, mocking the kid for hitting a stone with an egg!

However, their laughter abruptly stopped, and they stared in shock with their mouths wide open, big enough to swallow an egg.

The stone table that the little boy had tapped instantly turned into a pile of powder!

"My God, how... how did he do that?"

Ren Tianxing, hidden in the dark, was so shocked that he almost fell off the stone wall. He rubbed his eyes hard.

After a brief moment of shock, The Butcher flipped his hand, and a huge saber appeared out of nowhere. He stood up from the stone chair in one swift motion.

"The ring on your finger is quite peculiar. Can I borrow it for a look?"

The little boy's eyes gleamed as he stared at the ring on The Butcher's finger.

He had seen clearly that the saber had emerged from the ring!

The Butcher said nothing more, but his eyes signaled the other bandits, giving the order to kill!

"It's fine if you don't lend it. It will be mine in a moment!"

The little boy smiled, completely unconcerned about the bandits charging at him with their sabers!

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

The two sabers missed, and the little boy's figure disappeared.

Ren Tianxing, hidden in the dark, exclaimed, "Divine Concealment? How does he know Divine Concealment?"

A game of death had thus begun!
