Chapter 132 - A Death House?

Once Xiao Lin asked that question, the middle-aged man who was seriously wounded as the Awakening Doom blade had pierced his body, spat out blood from his mouth and said "Brat, you will die for this."

And once he said that, he produced a blade from his spatial ring and immediately used it to slit his throat.

Slash!

The instant he slashed his throat open with the blade that appeared in his hand, blood began to spill out from it like a fountain to the ground.

Xiao Lin who could see what the man wanted to do and simply allowed him to do so, only developed an unsightly expression in his face after he had slashed open his throat himself with his blade.

He then picked up the man's spatial ring and stowed it into his own. And once he did so, he stood back to his feet with a shake of his head.

Then after looking around to see that no one was looking at him, he immediately shot into the treasure storage house to go pick up the item that he was sent down here to pick.

And immediately he appeared before the door which was large in size and was really thick, Xiao Lin quickly produced the Awakening Doom blade and the Sorrowful Sea blade in his hand.

Slash!

Slash!

He began to slash out with them at the door to cut it open.

However, the door which had developed many gashes in it surface, still remained standing like it didn't want to give Xiao Lin the path to go in.

Slash!

Slash!

While Xiao Lin who was simply relentless and only continued to slash out at the door, suddenly hit the door with one final, really powerful strike.

Bang!

The door instantly cleaved into two before collapsing into pieces to the ground.

Once the door scattered apart into smithereens, Xiao Lin quickly walked in to go search for the decorated vase that contains the pill that he was sent here for by his master, Nine Calamities.

However, he did this with great caution in his heart as he understood that this was a treasure storage house and will definitely contain many vicious and deadly killing traps.

But the instant that he walked in, something suddenly snapped from far in front of him. And once the snap sound rang out which Xiao Lin heard using his powerful Vampiric Hearing, a silver spear with a hot glowing tip that emanated intense heat in all directions, suddenly shot out towards him at where he stood.

Swoosh!

Perceiving the sound of the spear as it shot towards him from far using his powerful auditory sense, Xiao Lin quickly grasped the Awakening Doom blade in his left hand tightly and used it to slash out at the whatever he felt was shooting furiously towards him.

BANG!

The instant his blade impacted the tip of the spear, a bang sound immediately rang out with a shock that made Xiao Lin's entire arm completely numb, transmitting from the point at which the Awakening Doom blade struck the spear to his hand.

The spear which was only colored in silver, but was made from a particular metallic material that will enable it to pierce through the defensive artifact of an eight-layer Mortal Spiritual stage cultivator, instantly cut apart into halves upon being struck by the Awakening Doom blade which at the moment was still an ordinary blade.

While Xiao Lin whose powerful left arm was already numb and had dropped the Awakening Doom blade to the ground, quickly bent to pick it up and then returned it to his dantian. Then with the Sorrowful Sea blade in his right hand, he readied himself to furiously slash out at anything that will suddenly shoot out towards him to impale him.

However, just a moment after he readied himself, many snap sounds unexpectedly rang out with numerous silver-colored spears suddenly shooting out from where they concealed towards Xiao Lin at furious speeds.

Xiao Lin's eyes widened in shock and horror when he heard the multiple snap sounds.

Then very quickly, he prepared to dash out of the treasure storage house through the door.

But like the house could actually sense his intention, a door suddenly materialized and closed when Xiao Lin appeared in front of it to come out of the treasure storage house through it.

Then seeing that a door had suddenly appeared from nowhere and had shut tight to prevent him from leaving, Xiao Lin quickly leaped towards the ceiling of the roof. And once he got there, he quickly used the Sorrowful Sea blade in his right hand to stab out at the ceiling with all the power that he could really muster. He did this with the sole intention that his blade would become stuck there and would prevent him dropping back to the ground anytime soon.

So, the instant that he leaped towards the ceiling, many spears, about twenty in number suddenly arrived and continued their trajectories towards the door since they didn't come across anything in their paths.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!...

Many bang sounds began to ring out as the spears furiously struck into the door which they came across in their paths like they wanted to collapse it into pieces. However, the door remained standing after all the fierce impacts with the spears that moved with an alarming momentum.

"Whew!" Xiao Lin uttered as a relief and tried to pull out his blade from the ceiling that it had stabbed into.

However, he discovered to his shock in the next instant that he couldn't really do so.

He then simply left it there and dropped to the ground since he was only hanging there previously by his blade that was stabbed into the ceiling.

Then with a thought from him, the blade simply vanished from there and re-appeared in his dantian.

Once he had done that, he began to look around with great caution in his eyes. He didn't know what other trap was put in this place apart from the spear-launching mechanism that was shooting out spears at him previously.

However, just when he placed his foot somewhere, clanking sounds began to ring out like some type of machine was being operated. While Xiao Lin who became immediately wary of what might suddenly appear and attack him, quickly forced his hearing to operate at the maximum level. Also, he quickly recalled the Sorrowful Sea blade in his dantian to his right hand, and the Awakening Doom blade to his left hand which had quickly recovered from the numbness that spread through out it earlier.

"This treasure storage house is simply nothing but a death house. How am I supposed to survive in this kind of place that Master sent me to?" Xiao Lin asked with fury and uncertainty in his eyes.

However, he recalled what he was in the next instant and the tremendous worries that had surfaced in his heart, slightly allayed.

"It's good that I am a vampire and might be able to resist or survive the onslaught of the deadly traps strategically hidden at some places in this death house." He said.

He then spoke further with a dead-serious expression in his face, "But assuming I was a human as master and my comrades have thought, there could be zero percent chance of me coming out of here alive. Ugh."

"But even if I am a vampire, I still have to be really careful... Because from what I can see here and what I have experienced so far, this place is meant to kill anything and everything that will enter it. Just so many insane lethal traps for just a pill. I wonder what pill that is." Xiao Lin said with a deep perplexed expression in his face.

However, just as he finished speaking, a thought suddenly flashed in his head.

"Or is there something else in here that the concealed killing traps are meant to protect from the reach of anyone that would come into this place? Hmm. Might be. Because from the level of the traps arranged in this place, I can definitely tell that something much more important or greater than the pill that master sent me here for, is stored somewhere in this crazy death house"

"I have to see what that thing is. I must find it" Xiao Lin said as his curiosity had now been tremendously provoked.

Clank!

Clank!

Clank!

The clanking sounds that had been ringing out since he stepped on a particular part of the floor in the treasure storage house didn't stop, even for once.

However Xiao Lin who was incredibly wary of this place as it spoke volumes of great danger to him, didn't dare to lower his guards down even for once.

Besides, he felt that this particular trap was only trying to play tricks on his mind, which was by producing those clanking sounds and make him feel that nothing was really going to appear. Then when he had possibly dropped his guards, it could suddenly appear and then attack him with whatever killing elements had been put in it.
