Chapter 46: The Fierce and Mysterious Person
The man was slightly stunned. He then channeled his Divine Sense to examine it carefully and found that the door was a foot thick, with 18 bolts around the edges, each as thick as an ordinary person’s arm. No wonder his abnormal strength could not open it in one strike.
“Damn it!” The man cursed softly. Then he bent his legs slightly and slowly raised his palms from bottom to top. At the same time, a faint precious light radiated from his body, forming four strange and ferocious patterns: a Black Tortoise on his back, an Azure Dragon on his left arm, a Vermilion Bird on his right hand, and a White Tiger on his chest. With the appearance of the Four Sacred Beasts, the bones all over his body began to crack and pop. With the appearance of the Four Sacred Beasts, his strength, agility, and defense were all greatly enhanced.
Then, he struck out eighteen palms in lightning succession. Each palm struck the edge of the iron door, creating a fierce shockwave that passed through the iron door and directly snapped the bolts inside, while the exterior showed no signs of damage.
After eighteen strikes, all the bolts were broken. He pushed with his hand and opened this final door. Behind the door were all the premium stock of this Magic material shop. One had to know, this shop dealt in expensive and rare treasures, so there were not many items, but their value was extremely high. Otherwise, they would not have set up such tight protection.
Especially at night, because they would bring back the valuable goods displayed during the day to prevent theft. So the items here now were all the shop’s stock. However, even so, there were not particularly many items, occupying only two shelves.
The man pulled out two large black bags from his lower back. He opened the bags and swept his eyes around. Everything he looked at would automatically fly up and fall into the empty bags. Clearly, this was a very advanced Telekinesis Spell. With the help of this Spell, within just half a minute, he had collected everything here.
By now, the outside was already in chaos. After all, this was a Great Noble Family’s industry, and with so much profit at stake, naturally there were many guards. After being caught off guard by the mysterious man at the start, they had now reorganized under the shouting of a leader. About thirty Battle Qi Warriors and dozens of lower-level warriors, cooks, and other staff had surrounded the warehouse where the mysterious man was.
However, the strongest Expert among them was just two Level 4 Warriors. One of them had the bad luck to come into close contact with the mysterious man, resulting in his death with all his bones shattered. Seeing his end, who else would dare to go in and capture the mysterious man? So they mostly just shouted outside, lacking the guts to rush in.
Although the shouting outside was loud, the mysterious man inside did not seem to care at all. He leisurely tied the two bags tight. Instead of rushing out, he channeled his sight to search around continuously. Because he knew that places like this treasure vault often had a hidden small secret compartment, and that was where the most valuable items were stored.
Sure enough, after a careful search, the mysterious man finally found the target. He immediately stepped forward, slapped it, shattered a hidden compartment, and pulled out a small, sheathless, pitch-black dagger. Since there was no time to examine it closely, he stuffed the dagger into his bosom. Then he walked out carrying two full bags.
When the mysterious man appeared at the warehouse door, the circle of people surrounding him almost had their jaws drop. It turned out they saw the two bags in the mysterious man’s hands. Each was as big as a water buffalo, filled to the brim with various rare metals and gems. Together, they weighed at least 2000 catties. Fortunately, the beast-skin bags he found were sturdy, or they would have burst long ago.
Even so, the 2000 catties on the mysterious man seemed as light as two feathers. He didn’t seem to care at all. However, seeing this scene, the Manager here nearly fainted. He knew that everything in his warehouse added up was roughly the amount in these two bags. In other words, the other party had just loaded up his entire inventory. If he let him run away, he would be swallowed alive by the Clan Head of the Augustus Family.
So he almost used a pleading tone, “Strong warrior, if you lack money, I am willing to personally offer you a thousand Gold Coins, only asking that you put down those two bags, alright? This is, after all, the property of the Augustus Family. Surely you wouldn’t want to offend this powerful family? I can swear, as long as you put them down, I will give you the money and let you leave safely.”
Actually, the Manager had no choice. He was truly terrified of this mysterious man. Killing a Level 4 Expert with one punch, what kind of strength was that? Moreover, the other party could break the final foot-thick steel door. With such terrifying ability, although they had many people, they probably couldn’t stop him! That was why he was so humble, begging the other party to spare him.
But the mysterious man clearly had no interest in his nonsense. After appearing, he immediately swept a cold glance over the dozens of people around him, a look of disdain flashing in his eyes. Then he flew up with a kick, sending the broken iron door on the ground flying out.
This iron door was also an inch thick and large in area, weighing a good five or six hundred catties. After being kicked flying by the mysterious man, it immediately flew with a whistling sound, smashing heavily toward the shop’s back door.
Although there were many people in that direction, facing this heavy object flying at high speed, no one dared to block it. They scrambled to hide to the side. A few slow ones were smashed to the ground on the spot. A series of bone fractures sounded, followed by their pig-like wails.
The mysterious man followed behind the iron door, easily breaking through the encirclement and returning to the front shop from the back door.
Those people were anxious when they saw this, especially the Manager, who shouted hoarsely, “Don’t let him run! If he runs, we are all done for!”
Reminded by the Manager, the crowd immediately realized the consequences of letting the mysterious man go. It was definitely a matter concerning their future prospects, or even their lives. Under this immense pressure, they immediately forgot the mysterious man’s terror. They shouted and chased him desperately.
But just as this group chased into the shop, they immediately ran out even faster, with even more terrified expressions.
It turned out that when the mysterious man escaped, he took a ‘zigzag’ route. More accurately, he jumped like a monkey from the left column diagonally to the right column, and then from the right column diagonally to the left column, jumping diagonally forward between the two rows of columns.
Originally, how he walked didn’t matter. But the problem was, every time this guy jumped and pushed off a column, he would deliberately kick the column to break it. Although these columns were sturdy stone pillars as thick as a hug, under the mysterious man’s abnormal strength, they were simply fragile. He flashed around the hall a few times and successively kicked down seven or eight columns.
This was terrible! One had to know, this shop was a typical Western-style building. Although the space inside was large, it relied entirely on the columns for support. There were twelve columns in the hall in total. With seven or eight broken in one go, how could the house still stand? It was bound to collapse!
That was why those chasing people, after discovering so many broken columns, ran for their lives, fearing they would be buried alive if they were a moment late. Sure enough, just an instant after they ran out, the entire three-story building collapsed with a boom. Stones flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.
