Chapter 1453: Chapter 1453: A Moonless Night for Murder

For Chen Moxiang, such missions have been executed by her since childhood. Even infiltrating a century-old mansion poses no difficulty for her, let alone the ancestral home of the Wang Family, where she has already spent some time. She’s familiarized herself with the terrain.

Lin Tian had already called Xv Jiazhi between leaving the hotel, initially planning to wait for his arrival, not knowing he was already waiting outside the Wang Family’s mansion.

After the three met, Xv Jiazhi also changed into the same black tight-fitting outfits as the other two.

This outfit is specially made by the military, firstly it has a somewhat bulletproof function, and it’s breathable. Though it fits snugly against the skin, it feels not tight at all, stretching freely.

Looking at the clock, it’s half past three.

Looking at the sky again, it’s pitch black, not to mention stars, there isn’t even a moon!

The time, place, and people are in harmony!

A gust of cool wind hits, making Lin Tian want to express, ’It’s a night for killing under a moonless sky and windy night for arson.’

Putting on night vision goggles, Chen Moxiang slightly turns her head, speaking forcefully, "The outer walls of the Wang Family’s mansion, apart from being tall with steel spikes on top, don’t have much defense. We can climb over and follow the small path straight to the entrance of the underground palace. Remember to stick close to me later."

"Why should we stick close to you?" Lin Tian asked.

Chen Moxiang glared and said, "That’s an order! I’m familiar with the terrain here."

"But I still think walking on the roof is safer than walking on the small path; at least being that high, no need to avoid cameras." Lin Tian said.

Chen Moxiang rolled her eyes, "I don’t know Lightweight Skill, and we don’t have Doraemon’s bamboo copters in our bags."

Lin Tian chuckled and said, "Lightweight Skill, I know it."

Without waiting for Chen Moxiang’s consent, he gently wrapped his arm around her waist and held her in his embrace.

Before Chen Moxiang could react, Lin Tian bent his knees slightly and leapt lightly as if supported by the wind, effortlessly landing on the four-meter-high wall of the Wang Family.

On the wall, steel spikes reflecting cold light were erected densely, sharp enough to pierce through shoes and turn feet into a honeycomb!

Standing atop, Lin Tian seemed unfazed by the spikes, moving as if walking on flat ground.

Chen Moxiang was furious! How could he wrap his arm around her waist without her permission? Wasn’t she his team captain?

Well, he indeed holds an official position; she would have to call him a leader. But these aren’t valid excuses!

Yet at this moment, there’s no way to push him away; not only is his strength greater, around them are all spikes, she certainly doesn’t want her beautiful feet to turn into a bloody mess. She wonders how this guy can hold someone while stepping on spikes without taking damage.

All Chen Moxiang could do now was reach to Lin Tian’s waist and give a hard pinch, seeing him grimace and gasp, she triumphantly smiled.

Once Chen Moxiang let go, Lin Tian then said to Xv Jiazhi, who was still at the wall corner, "Keep up, I’ll try to slow down."

Hearing this, Chen Moxiang scoffed even more, though she wasn’t heavy, he was indeed holding one more person, why worry about others falling behind?

The next moment, before Chen Moxiang could mentally prepare, Lin Tian’s body moved again, leaping heavily, jumping towards the dense fig tree below. What Chen Moxiang didn’t expect was for Lin Tian’s toes to tap lightly on the tree crown like a dragonfly touching water, as if stepping on a pedal, soaring high again, his body swiftly flying through the air like a startled swan.

Looking again, Xv Jiazhi was closely following with no lag in speed.

Lin Tian was performing a Lightweight Skill technique called ’Light Step’, which, as the name implies, focuses on agility.

Compared to other cultivation techniques, Lin Tian was somewhat familiar with Lightweight Skill, like in morning runs. With his strength at the Middle Stage of Golden Elixir, handling such a not demanding Lightweight Skill is effortlessly easy.

The Light Step focuses primarily on body coordination, along with explosive power and flexibility in the legs. Even now, holding Chen Moxiang, he can execute this technique to perfection.

However, compared to the Yue Family’s Lightweight Skill, the Light Step has a gap in excellence. Lin Tian had fantasized not just once, about extracting the Yue Family’s Lightweight Skill from Yue Yongnan, even if exchanging it with elixir formulas, it would be worth it!

...

Lin Tian was unaware, as he left the hotel, Xv Jiazhi had already been waiting outside the Wang Family yard for half an hour. He came with Kun Yun.

Before, as Lin Tian left the Wang Family, he spoke with Xv Jiazhi over the phone. Upon hearing it, the hunched old man couldn’t help but generate a sinister idea, wishing to visit the Wang Family, solely to prevent the Wang Family from making peace with Lin Tian.

Back then, Xv Jiazhi stopped him. After all, bad deeds aren’t done so early!

Between three and four in the morning is the most suitable! So at three in the morning, Xv Jiazhi’s car was parked outside the Wang Family yard.

In the car, Xv Jiazhi asked, "What’s your plan?"

Kun Yun raspingly responded, "Of course, killing Wang Shi. That guy took a bullet to the chest, bedridden for half a year, since King Yama wouldn’t claim his life, I will! Wang Shi used to be quite significant; being confined to bed is surely a fate worse than death. I’m there doing good work."

In response, Xv Jiazhi scoffed. Could you be more shameless?

"What’s your involvement in the matter between the Wang Family and Lin Tian?"

Kun Yun snorted coldly, "Lin Tian is my enemy, the Wang Family too. What I’d love to see is mutual destruction among them, how could I let them reconcile so simply? Keep waiting here for them, and remember if you find anything good, bring it back for this old man. Don’t kill Lin Tian, he’s my prey!"

With that, Kun Yun opened the car door, hunching his body and disappearing into the night.

Kun Yun is a Daoist, both right and evil in dual cultivation. He also cultivated but never achieved Golden Core in his lifetime.

This old codger disliked using Lightweight Skill, finding it too excessive in effort. He pasted a Light Body Talisman on his chest, and on each side of his knees pasted a Divine Speed Talisman. Kun Yun merely leapt lightly, vanishing into the night as a streak of black extreme light.

Kun Yun didn’t know where Wang Shi was recovering, but with his skills, it wasn’t hard to find. He had an exclusive ability, to sense auras within a 500-meter radius. Wang Shi indeed was a high-level martial artist, but he was frail from illness, his aura must be extremely weak.

After checking two incorrect places, Kun Yun finally arrived at the pagoda where Wang Shi was recuperating, landing like a feather on the roof tiles, gently uncovering a tile, finding nothing visible inside due to unlit conditions.

But none of these mattered, Kun Yun could sense auras, having locked onto Wang Shi without needing any light.
