Chapter 43: A Midnight Visitor

  Xiao Liu Xing and Xiao Chun Tian had eaten the meal sent by their boss and were preparing to sleep. For the first time in the human world, both Xiao Liu Xing and Xiao Chun Tian were very excited and prepared to have a good sleep. Unfortunately, someone didn't let them get what they wanted, and there were quite a few of these people.

  Around dawn, two burly men with menacing faces sneaked out of the guest room three rooms away from Xiaoliu Xingxing's room, looked around and found that everyone was asleep, then walked towards Xiaoliu Xingxing's room with a self-satisfied expression.

  These two people both have 4th-order strength, barely enough to be considered mid-tier warriors. Their strength is not at the bottom of the barrel here. However, this bit of strength is more than enough in their own minds! Dealing with two naive little kids who haven't seen the world, it's a piece of cake. They started following Small Meteorite as soon as he left his house, they've been mixed up in this place for several years now, and they're still very clear about the boss, and they're naturally very interested in people they need to deliberately try to curry favor with.

  When they were tracking, they saw that Xiaoliuxing was spending money like water, and Xiaoliuxing didn't care, but the two of them couldn't bear it. At that time, they decided to rob Xiaoliuxing.

  They had just started, and every time they saw Little Meteor pay the bill, they would feel a pang of heartache, because they had already considered Little Meteor's money as their own when they decided to rob him. However, when they saw that Little Meteor had put all the things he bought from Little Spring into the carefree ring, they didn't feel heartache anymore.

  They estimated that the things Xiao Chun Tian bought were at least 10 cubic meters, which means that the storage ring of Xiao Liu Xing was at least 20 cubic meters. A 20-cubic-meter storage ring on the black market is worth over 1 million gold coins! Over 1 million, enough for them to be carefree for a lifetime!

  They didn't care how much money Xiaoxing spent now, it was from that time on that they changed their target from Xiaoxing's money to the free and easy ring on Xiaoxing's hand. As long as Xiaoxing didn't pawn the free and easy ring to pay off debts to Xiaochuntian, they wouldn't care how much Xiaoxing spent.

  They also noticed that many others were staring at Little Meteor. Moreover, he knew his strength was not high and could not "overpower the heroes", so they decided to take action before those people did, and then immediately flee! They both thought of the escape route, of course, including the beautiful life after getting away with it, they also thought about it.

  Among them, the only thing they didn't think of was how to snatch the carefree ring from Xiaoliu's hand. In their minds, two little brats, it would be easy to deal with, as for whether to kill or knock out, or rob by force, that depends on the mood.

  It's not yet midnight, and everyone else is asleep. The first goal: to complete it before anyone else does. The first goal was the most important part of their plan, and now that they've completed it, they seem to see millions of gold coins flying in front of them.

  Their hearts were excited, of course, excitement aside, they also knew that they couldn't be too exposed now, lest they wake up the others, which would be terrible. This tavern was quite famous here, with several high-level warriors living inside. So they still walked lightly and carefully to Xiao Liuxing's room.

  The two robbers, who were only afraid of startling others, had no idea that at the moment they stepped out, there were no less than ten people in this tavern secretly sticking to the walls and listening to the outside commotion. On the third floor, there were even three rooms directly overlooking the window, secretly watching them. A million gold coins are a tempting wealth wherever you go.

  Three rooms apart, less than eight meters away, the two men walked slowly but arrived in just a few steps. Standing at the door, the two burly men looked around first, confirming that no one else was paying attention, before taking out the dagger they had prepared earlier and preparing to pry open the door.

  But just as one of them was about to thrust the dagger towards the door, something suddenly pierced their brains, followed by a wave of excruciating pain that lasted only for an instant before disappearing. However, when it disappeared, the movement in both of their brains also stopped.

  The speed was so fast that they didn't even have the chance to cry out in pain before falling down, leaving behind only the sound of "thud, thud" as their bodies hit the ground. These two sounds were especially clear in the stillness of the midnight hour. For those who were asleep, it was imperceptible; for those who weren't sleeping, even though they heard it, they didn't know what had happened, and since the sound only lasted for two beats before stopping, they also remained silent.

  For those who are paying attention, although they see something happen and feel very surprised, they won't be foolish enough to come out and take a look. So overall, after these two people fell down, there was no obvious reaction at all.

  "Mental Shock" is one of the mental attack methods learned by Xiao Liu Xing, which is an application of his spiritual awareness. He had never used it before and this was his first time using it. Although he said he was sleeping, Xiao Liu Xing was actually still cultivating, as people in the Yuan Ying stage like him didn't need to sleep at all, their spirits were always very good. So when Xiao Liu Xing slept, he was basically cultivating, and during cultivation, he would leave a thread of spiritual awareness around his body to prevent any accidents.

  This time, due to the daytime events, Xiao Liuxing deliberately left more divine consciousness than before before going to sleep, covering the entire third floor. Therefore, all the movements of the two robbers were known to Xiao Liuxing, but they didn't come over, and Xiao Liuxing was too lazy to care about them until they prepared to pry open the door, at which point Xiao Liuxing solved them in this way.

  The two of them were at the 4th stage, although they had some internal energy, their spiritual power was pitifully small. If you compared the amount of their spiritual power to one, then Little Meteor's spiritual power would be ten thousand times that.

  For the small meteor's powerful, sudden and rapid spiritual attack, the two robbers didn't even have a chance to resist, and were directly blown to death. Because these two people died so suddenly, without any warning signs, it made those who were secretly paying attention to them not dare to make another move. This situation continued for about half an hour, until a door opened in a room on the second floor.

  A lean, sly-looking man in his 50s slipped out quietly. He was slightly better than the previous two, with a strength of around level 5, almost reaching level 6, and he was also a thief, an old professional thief, unlike the previous two who were not only weak but also warriors!

  This is also the reason why the thief, after hearing those two sounds and guessing that something unexpected had happened to those two people, still dared to come out. He, like those two people, had long been eyeing Xiaoliu Xing and Xiaochun Tian, and like them, knew that his own strength was not enough here, so he decided to use the same method as those two people: take advantage of others first.

  Of course, he was having the same beautiful dream as those two. He had also decided to take action at midnight, but when he was about to go out, the thief's keen hearing picked up that someone was moving upstairs, and even detected that there were two people. And from the breath of those two, he judged their strength. It has to be said that he is a very experienced thief. Also because of his rich experience, he was very confident in himself, so after waiting for half an hour without discovering any movement, he decided to make a quick move.

  He sprang up three floors in just a few bounds, his movements incredibly agile and light! Not a single sound was made, completely beyond what those two warriors could match. He had confidence in his own abilities, even a 6th-level thief wouldn't be able to hear the sound of his footsteps.

  Arriving at the guest room of Little Stream, the situation was just as he had imagined, with two people inside, both dead. He quickly examined their bodies and didn't find any cause of death. This made him slightly tense, as unknown dangers were the most frightening. Originally, he had hoped to find some clues about the cause of death from these two people, so that he could take precautions, but there was nothing out of the ordinary.

  He had already reached the entrance, and of course he couldn't bear to give up now, so although the old thief was a little afraid in his heart, he still decided to continue. Just as he took out his most trusted dagger and was about to pry open the door, Xiaoliu Xing also used Spiritual Impact on him, someone close to 6th rank, and still a thief. Although his spiritual power was much stronger than those two warriors, he was still instantly killed by Xiaoliu Xing.

  Not even in the same league. And just like that, a seasoned old thief left his beloved world of flowers with an expression of utmost terror. "Bang!"...

  The old thief is dead, and some people who secretly saw him and happened to know his true abilities were stunned. Those people felt that they had no hope even if they went, so they gave up the idea of going out at night, either giving up or thinking of other ways. Faced with a temptation of one million, not everyone has the determination to give up.

  Some people gave up, but there were still some who didn't. Either they didn't know what had happened or they were confident in their own abilities, so every now and then someone would go up again. Of course, the result was always leaving more corpses in front of Xiaoliu Xing's door. This situation continued until after 3 am, when no one else came to disturb Xiaoliu Xing anymore.

  Because those who felt good all fell in the corridor, 17 people, 3 of them were 7th-level masters, 8 were 6th-level, 4 were 5th-level, and the two 4th-level ones that came first. These 17 people lay horizontally and vertically in the third-floor corridor, blocking the entire door of Xiaoliu Xing.

  The sound of their bodies hitting the ground when they died woke up many people, but no one dared to make a sound. The timid ones even closed their doors and windows tighter. This is a world where the strong are respected, and those who mix here are not experienced enough to know what happened without leaving their homes. To avoid trouble, everyone chose to close their doors tightly.

  Some brave ones put on their clothes and prepared to see what the situation was, but when they came to the third floor and saw the corpses all over the place, they felt a chill in their hearts. Especially when they saw the bodies of those three 7th-level experts, they were shocked beyond words and turned around to run back to their own rooms.

  8th-order saints are rarely seen by people, equivalent to legendary existences, and it's hard to even see one. So 7th-order became the super masters among ordinary people, these kinds of people are always the focus wherever they go, and very few don't know them. If a 7th-order super master dies, then what about oneself?

  The door was blocked, but Xiaoliuxing didn't care because in his divine consciousness, the boss hadn't slept from the beginning. The boss indeed came out as Xiaoliuxing thought, after waiting for over an hour, around 4 o'clock, accompanied by several of his men.

  Looking at the masters lying on the ground, those partners and bosses all showed quite surprised expressions, feeling a bit unacceptable to reality. The boss and others had some unusualness, surprise was there, but not very surprising, "beyond expectation, within reason".

  This further confirmed his idea that the little meteorite in his heart was protected by a high-ranking master, who could instantly kill a 7th-level master and leave him with no ability to resist. The strength must be "Holy Rank", a holy-level master! There are only 12 known on the entire continent! Now it's being used to protect two little kids, this family is too powerful, "Which family is it?" the boss thought secretly in his heart.

  The corpses were quickly cleaned up under the boss's command, of course, before being cleaned up, those corpses were carefully collected and let the boss make a small fortune, especially on a 7th-level warrior found a high-level fighting technique, making the boss ecstatic.
