Chapter 529

~8 min read 1,494 words

The two of them were inside the mountain cave, each step taken with extreme caution.

However, perhaps because they had previous experience, their movements looked just like those of veterans.

Facing several traps, they solved them all very easily.

"There really is no improvement at all; the last time, it was this exact same trap."

Having easily neutralized a trap, the Rice-Eater curled their lip and said.

Traps like this were ones they had encountered before, also in the Black Tiger Demon King's treasury; now, solving them was completely effortless.

"Rice-Eater."

"What is it, Rice-Eating Fairy?"

"Be a little careful, I'll walk in front."

"Hm? Is there a problem?"

"There's a small trap."

As they spoke, the Rice-Eating Fairy had already stepped forward and, without even waiting for the trap to trigger, directly deactivated it.

"Impressive, have you encountered this before?"

"Yes, I encountered it at that treasury before."

"This Black Tiger Demon King really doesn't learn, it doesn't even know how to update its traps."

Actually, this really couldn't be blamed on the Black Tiger Demon King; how the hell could it have imagined that there were such daring little thieves in this world, coming one after another to steal from it, truly not knowing how to show any restraint.

Continuing forward, before long, the two encountered guards in the cave.

Now this looks a bit more like it, at least it knows to send extra guards.

Two demon beasts stood before a stone door; hiding at a corner and confirming there were no other guards, the two exchanged a glance and stealthily approached the two demon beasts.

The long swords in their hands were slowly drawn, a cold glint flashed, and suddenly they burst forth, one person to one demon beast, cleanly and efficiently finishing them off.

Yet at the same time as they struck, both of them looked at each other in unison and spoke almost simultaneously.

"What the hell, Jade Maiden Sword Art?"

"Rising Sun Sword Art?"

"Are you from the Dao Yi Sect?"

From the techniques used, the two instantly judged that the other was a disciple of the Dao Yi Sect; regarding this, the Rice-Eater spoke first.

"Inner Sect disciple of Divine Sword Peak, Wang Wu."

Hearing this, the Rice-Eating Fairy pondered for a moment, then immediately spoke as well, though their tone sounded somewhat strange.

"Inner Sect disciple of Jade Maiden Peak, Song Yi."

"What the hell, Junior Sister Song? You're the Rice-Eating Fairy?"

"That's right, Senior Brother Wang."

They hadn't expected to be fellow sect members; after a brief moment of surprise, although it was somewhat unexpected, it clearly wasn't the time to talk about such things, so the two could only temporarily suppress the questions in their hearts and look at the stone door before them.

If nothing went wrong, behind this stone door should be the location of the Black Tiger Demon King's final treasury.

There were no mechanisms on the stone door, and just as the two were preparing to push it open, on the other side of the door, inside the treasury, Sha Hu was drinking wine while complaining with dissatisfaction.

"Making a fuss over nothing, how could there possibly be thieves coming again."

"People are thieves, not idiots; where would anyone keep stealing from the same person? The Great King is just too worried."

Ever since the previous two treasuries were robbed, Sha Hu had been sent here by the Black Tiger Demon King to stand guard.

Having been cooped up in the treasury for several months, it was clearly extremely dissatisfied with the Black Tiger Demon King's arrangements.

It felt that there couldn't be such thieves in this world; how could one keep picking at the same patch of wool?

They had already stolen from two treasuries; any person wouldn't come again, right? Once, twice, but not a third time; coming again would really be going too far.

Just as it was speaking, the stone door opened in response, and Wang Wu and Song Yi walked in with swords in hand.

At a glance, they saw Sha Hu sitting in the very center of the treasury; the two people and one tiger stared at each other in silence.

"What the hell, again?"

Sha Hu's eyes were filled with shock; it had felt it was impossible before, but it hadn't expected them to really come; the guts of these little thieves were just too big.

And Wang Wu and Song Yi slowly raised the long swords in their hands and, without a word, killed their way toward Sha Hu.

Both were at the Great Completion of the Nascent Soul Realm, while Sha Hu was at the Primordial Demon Realm.

There wasn't much difference in cultivation, but Sha Hu was one against two, so naturally, it was no match for Wang Wu and the other, and it quickly fell into a disadvantage.

"Bold little thieves, you are truly courting death."

A third time, this was already the third time; Sha Hu even suspected whether these two little thieves were addicted to stealing; why the hell did they keep targeting the Black Tiger Demon King?

There were so many Demon Kings in Huling, and every Demon King had their own treasury.

Moreover, the Black Tiger Demon King definitely couldn't be considered rich among the Demon Kings of Huling, not to mention that after being hit twice before, it was even poorer than a church mouse.

And yet you still want to come; are you really not leaving any path to survival?

"Junior Sister, finish this quickly."

"Understood."

Ignoring Sha Hu's meaning, Wang Wu thrust out a sword, sword Qi swirling around their body, their aura even more violent than before.

There was no time to waste here with Sha Hu; facing the joint siege of the two, Sha Hu was quickly severely wounded by a sword strike, and in desperation, it burned its bloodline and lunged violently toward the outside of the cave.

Seeing this, Song Yi wanted to pursue, but was stopped by Wang Wu.

"Don't chase, pack up the things and get out."

Chasing Sha Hu had no meaning; after all, the two's goal was the Black Tiger Demon King's treasury, and now that the treasury was right before their eyes, following a whirlwind of looting by the two, the treasures in the treasury were soon scraped clean.

Afterward, they didn't linger and left directly, using the cover of the night to quickly vanish into the mountain forest.

But before the two could get far, a terrifying tiger roar rang out, and a Demon King's aura rapidly approached; clearly, the Black Tiger Demon King had arrived.

"Little thieves, don't run, how dare you humiliate this King like this."

The Black Tiger Demon King's face was ferocious; it was truly about to go insane.

How long the hell had it been, and these two little thieves had come again.

They had already stolen its two treasuries before; what did they take its treasury for? A bank? Just come and withdraw some when it's gone?

Rushing into the treasury, sure enough, it was empty, and there was the same message on the wall.

"Thank you, Demon King, for the gift; we express our gratitude here first."

Signed, Rice-Eater, Rice-Eating Fairy.

Very familiar names, and this time, the two had come together.

"Sure enough, you really were together; this King will absolutely not let you go."

Gritting its teeth, the Black Tiger Demon King immediately ordered its subordinates to begin searching for the whereabouts of Wang Wu and the other.

It also rose directly into the air, spreading its divine sense and constantly scanning the surroundings, wanting to capture the traces of these two little thieves.

"Great King........."

At this moment, Sha Hu, who had just escaped, returned, but before it could even speak, it was directly kicked away by the Black Tiger Demon King.

"Get lost, useless thing, you couldn't even guard a treasury; what use do I have for you? Go find them for me; if you can't catch those two little thieves, then commit suicide to atone for your crimes."

"I..........."

In the deep night of the Huling mountain forest, following the Black Tiger Demon King's rage, it became completely noisy.

And Wang Wu and the other, while fleeing, had a faint light shining on their necks the whole time.

"God-Avoiding Pearl."

This was a treasure specifically used to evade divine sense tracking, and it was precisely by relying on the God-Avoiding Pearl that the two were able to keep escaping the Black Tiger Demon King's divine sense.

Sure enough, they both had such treasures on them; they smiled at each other, and everything was understood without words.

"Worthy of being the Saint of Thieves."

"Worthy of being the God of Thieves."

From behind, the Black Tiger Demon King's roar could be faintly heard.

"You can't run away; this time, this King will absolutely not let you go, bold little thieves."
