C164 Cheap Attack
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Yang concealed his own Qi and continued to move closer to that group of people.
"This road is really narrow. Three people walking side by side is the limit. If we were to encounter a trap, how can we avoid it?"
The middle-aged man in the lead was a bit tall, clearly not liking these not very spacious tunnels. He didn't like it when he stretched his arms out and felt like they were about to touch the walls.
"Hehe, don't be impatient. Once you find the treasure, you won't mind these things."
One of the black-robed elder s standing beside Tian Hsingjian chuckled, and said to the middle aged man in a low voice.
It seemed that he had some sort of relationship with the middle aged man, and other than Tian Hsingjian, he did not even look at the others. It was obvious that he did not take them seriously.
The middle-aged man hurriedly shut his mouth, not daring to say anything more. Seeing this, the old man only smiled and didn't say anything more. He continued to advance in the tunnel.
"Chi chi chi chi!" Dozens of silver needles shot out from Lu Yang's palm, bringing a silver light that flashed through the dim tunnel, aimed at the heads of the three Middle Level Beast-controlling Master s behind, the silver needles were not affected in the slightest, and directly pierced through their heads, following that, the three of them instantly froze, and directly fell to the ground.
"Plop!"
"What's going on? What is that sound?" The middle-aged man who was walking in the first row with Tian Hsingjian and the old man immediately noticed the abnormality behind them.
When the other party discovered the situation and reacted, Lu Yang attacked once again. Not giving the other party the slightest chance to retaliate, and after launching another ten silver needles at the same time, three Middle Level Beast-controlling Master s were shot squarely in the face, instantly dying on the spot. Their death states were extremely ugly, but Lu Yang did not have the time to pay attention to the looks of these dead people, and immediately turned and quickly left the place.
If he were to fight these people one on one, he would not be in a hurry to leave. However, the other side had the numbers advantage, and they were all stronger than him, so it would not be a good idea to fight head on with them.
The best thing to do now was to retreat first. When the other side sent people to kill him, he would retaliate in secret. Gradually weakening the opponent's numbers and strength would be the key to winning.
Therefore, Lu Yang was not in a hurry to fight them head on.
Before the other party could see his face clearly, Lu Yang had already ran out of the passage and quickly hid himself in another passage, waiting for the assassination attempt to happen.
"Damn it, who is it?" Tian Hsingjian who was walking in front sensed that something was amiss and rushed over to check, only to see six corpses lying on the ground in a mess.
"How dare you! If you dare to kill one of our men, no matter who you are, I will tear you apart!"
After looking at the six corpses, the middle aged man shouted angrily towards the tunnel. Even Lu Yang, who was running away with the loudest voice, heard him, but the latter did not feel afraid at all after hearing it. On the contrary, he was happy, because he had gained a lot from his first stage of assassination, so six out of the seventeen people had died, leaving behind only eleven people.
But from now on, Lu Yang's assassination would not be so easy, because the other party knew of his existence, they would definitely be on guard. As a result, if Lu Yang wanted to weaken the other party's strength, he would probably not be able to sneak an attack from behind.
That meant that Lu Yang could go from the next fork in the red passage to the next fork in the orange passage. And as long as he advanced at an even faster speed, and waited quietly in front for the people of the other party to arrive, then he would be able to launch a sneak attack.
The other party must not have thought about this point, because they did not understand the route at all, so all they could do was to blindly follow behind Ling's grandpa and walk on the road that led to the main hall of the ancient tomb. During this process, Lu Yang was able to launch multiple sneak attacks.
"Hehe, it seems like this was all done by that ghost." black-robed elder said after looking at the six corpses.
"What?! How is that possible?! Isn't it just the Middle Level Beast-controlling Master, how can he instantly kill someone of similar strength as him? I won't believe it unless I see it with my own eyes."
Tian Hsingjian said with a face full of doubt. He obviously couldn't believe that these six dead Middle Level Beast-controlling Master s would be killed by a Beast-controlling Master of the same level in such a short amount of time.
"Seventh Elder, this shouldn't be caused by the Middle Level Beast-controlling Master, right? No matter what, one must have the strength of the High Level Beast-controlling Master in order to do it so easily!" The middle-aged man could not help but speak, obviously he did not believe that this was the doing of a Middle Level Beast-controlling Master.
"Haha, we'll understand when we meet that kid again." The old man laughed in a low voice, which made people's hearts tremble.
Following that, under the middle-aged man's command, they changed the distribution of the people in the front and back, placing the three High Level Beast-controlling Master s in the last row, allowing them to walk in the back, they believed that the brat would not be able to kill the three High Level Beast-controlling Master s that easily.
The ones walking in front were naturally him, Second Young Master Tian and the black-robed elder, which was also the Seventh Elder he spoke of.
The remaining four Middle Level Beast-controlling Master s walked in the middle along with the other one.
After a while, following the middle aged man's suggestion, the group of people walked along the tunnel in a straight line. Of course, Tian Hsingjian was in the second row, while the first row was for the middle aged man and black-robed elder.
It could be said that this formation was the best, and it would be very difficult for Lu Yang to launch an attack later, because he was not too far away from them, waiting for the appearance of this group of people, and the two strongest amongst them were already walking in the front. This was undoubtedly the worst situation for Lu Yang.
At this time, Lu Yang was quietly waiting for the other party to arrive a few hundred meters in front of him. He had already released the spiritual force, and the moment the other party appeared within a hundred meter radius from where Lu Yang was, he would immediately sense them and react.
"Hmph, if I were to meet that brat again later, he will definitely suffer a fate worse than death. He actually dares to meddle in my matters. He's tired of living!"
Tian Hsingjian walked in the passage of the ancient tomb while muttering to himself about Lu Yang, as if he hated the latter. Originally, because he did not catch Xiao Ling previously, he was unable to get the Ling's grandpa to call him over, so he could only pay a high price to buy the Hallucination Medicine to make the old man speak. However, the Hallucination Medicine was not some cheap pill, and its effects were only effective on people below High Level Beast-controlling Master, thus it was not cheap either.
Although he was the Second Young Master, this kind of high quality pill was not something that he could casually take out and eat as medicine pills, and he had still spent a lot of his savings. Naturally, he was not happy with this.
"Alright, let the young master calm down. Since this kid has already made his move, he probably won't just take the first sneak attack. There will definitely be another one. When the time comes, there will be no return."
The middle-aged man in front turned around and said to Second Young Master Tian, who had lost his temper.
"Humph, don't be in such a hurry to kill that brat and leave him alive. I want to see just who dares to interfere in our matters." Tian Hsingjian coldly snorted, and said.
"Yes, we will definitely leave him alive for you to handle later, Second Young Master." The middle-aged man respectfully said.
"En, but this ancient tomb is quite impressive. I think that there should be quite a few rare treasures in this ancient tomb. I hope they won't disappoint me. I spent a lot of effort to find out about this."
Tian Hsingjian said as he walked along the pathway. At the same time, he kept looking around at the majestic ancient tomb.
"Second Young Master, according to my observations, the owner of this ancient tomb was at least a Xuan expert when he was alive. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to build such a large scale tomb. I think that we will have a great harvest from this trip." The black-robed elder laughed.
When he thought about the great possibility of obtaining a priceless treasure during his journey, Tian Hsingjian couldn't help but become excited. This way, once he returned to his clan, his status would definitely increase greatly, and his father would even directly give him the position of the candidate to be the Patriarch.
When they heard the old man's words, their faces filled with excitement, as if the incident of Lu Yang's sneak attack had never happened before. They were all immersed in the illusion of the treasure hidden in the ancient tomb.
Little did they know that not far ahead, Lu Yang was patiently waiting for them to arrive.
Although Lu Yang did not know that the other party had changed their formation, it did not have much of an impact on his plans, because his plan was to wait at the next fork in the road for the other party to get close, and then suddenly launch a sneak attack. However, not long afterwards, just to anger the other party, he decisively retreated, and once again hid in the passageway.
It would be for the best if the other party sent people here. He could use the mechanism in the passageway to carry out a counterattack and weaken the enemy's strength once again.
If he could hold his temper and not send anyone to kill him, then he would have to attack from behind.
