Chapter 287: Bold Little Thief

The two were in the cave, each step they took was extremely careful.

But perhaps because of their prior experience, their movements looked like those of veterans.

Facing some traps, they were easily resolved.

"Really, no progress at all; the last time it was the same kind of trap."

"After easily dispelling a trap, Ganfanren curled his lip and said."

"He had encountered such traps before, also in Heihu Yaowang's treasury; resolving them now posed no difficulty at all."

"Ganfanren."

"What's up, Ganfan Xianzi?"

"Be careful, I'll go ahead."

"Huh? Any problem?"

"There's a small trap."

"Saying this, Ganfan Xianzi stepped forward and, without waiting for the trap to trigger, directly shut it down."

"Impressive, have you encountered it before?"

"Yeah, I encountered it in that treasury before."

"Heihu Yaowang really doesn't learn; he doesn't even update his traps."

Actually, it's not really Heihu Yaowang's fault; how could he have imagined that there would be such audacious thieves in the world, coming again and again to steal from him, truly not knowing restraint.

They continued forward, and not long after, they encountered the guards in the cave.

Now that's more like it; they even posted extra guards.

Two demon beasts stood before a stone gate, hiding around the corner; after confirming there were no other guards, they exchanged a glance, and the two crept up on the beasts.

Drawing their long swords slowly, a cold gleam flashed; suddenly they sprang forward, each taking on a beast, and swiftly dispatched them.

Just as they attacked, they simultaneously glanced at each other and almost at the same moment spoke.

"What the heck, Jade Maiden Sword Technique?"

"Rising Sun Sword Technique?"

"Are you from the Dao Yi Sect?"

From the techniques they used, the two instantly judged each other to be disciples of the Dao Yi Sect; Ganfanren was the first to speak.

"Inner Door Disciple Wang Wu of Divine Sword Peak."

Hearing this, Ganfan Xianzi pondered for a moment, then also spoke, though her tone sounded somewhat strange.

"Inner Door Disciple Song Yi of Jade Maiden Peak."

"What the heck, Junior Sister Song? You're Ganfan Xianzi?"

"Not bad, Senior Brother Wang."

I didn't expect we were actually from the same sect; after a brief surprise, though it was somewhat unexpected, now clearly isn't the time to talk about this, so the two could only temporarily set aside their doubts and look at the stone gate before them.

If all goes as expected, behind this stone gate should be Heihu Yaowang's final treasury.

There was no mechanism on the stone gate; just as the two were about to push it open, at the other end of the gate, inside the treasury, Killing Tiger was drinking alcohol while complaining.

"Making a fuss over nothing; how could there possibly be thieves coming?"

"They're thieves, not idiots; who would fixate on stealing from just one person? The king is over-worrying."

After the previous two treasuries were robbed, Killing Tiger was assigned by Heihu Yaowang to guard this place.

Having been cooped up in the treasury for several months, it was obviously extremely dissatisfied with Heihu Yaowang's arrangement.

It felt there wouldn't be such thieves in the world; how could one keep squeezing a sheep for wool?

Having already robbed two treasuries, surely no one would come again; 'once, twice, not thrice'—coming again would really be excessive.

Just as he was saying that, the stone gate opened with a sound, and Wang Wu and Song Yi entered, swords in hand.

At a glance they saw Killing Tiger seated in the center of the treasury; the two and the tiger stared at each other.

"What the heck, you're back again?"

Killing Tiger's eyes were full of shock; he had thought it impossible, but didn't expect they'd really come—this thief's courage is too great.

Wang Wu and Song Yi slowly raised their long swords and, without a word, charged at Killing Tiger.

Both had cultivated to the Perfected Nascent Soul Realm, while Killing Tiger was at the Monster Yuan Realm.

Their cultivation levels were not far apart, but Killing Tiger was one against two, so naturally he was no match for Wang Wu and the others, and soon fell into a disadvantage.

"Bold little thieves, you're practically asking for death."

This is the third time; Killing Tiger even wondered if these two thieves were addicted to stealing, why they kept targeting Heihu Yaowang.

Huling has many demon kings, each with their own treasury.

Moreover, Heihu Yaowang is absolutely not wealthy among the demon kings of Huling, and having been robbed twice already, he's dirt poor.

And yet you still come; you really aren't leaving any room for survival.

"Junior Sister, let's finish this quickly."

"Understood."

Ignoring Killing Tiger's meaning, Wang Wu thrust his sword forward, sword qi swirling around him, his aura becoming even more violent than before.

There was no time to waste on Killing Tiger here; facing the two's combined assault, he was quickly gravely wounded by a sword, and in desperation he burned his blood and surged outward into the cave.

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

"Don't chase; gather the loot and make a quick exit."

Chasing Killing Tiger would be pointless; after all, their goal was Heihu Yaowang's treasury, which lay right before them, and as they swept in like a whirlwind, the treasures inside were soon looted clean.

Afterward, without lingering, they left directly, using the cover of night to quickly vanish into the mountains and forests.

But before they had gone far, a terrifying tiger roar rang out, and a demon king's aura swiftly approached—clearly it was Heihu Yaowang arriving.

Little thief, stop running—how dare you so bully this king?

The Black Tiger Demon King's face was utterly ferocious; it was truly on the verge of madness.

Only a short time has passed, and these two little thieves are back again.

It had already stolen its two treasuries—what does it regard its treasury as now? A bank? Come make a withdrawal when it's empty?

Upon rushing into the treasury, sure enough, it was empty, and the same message remained on the wall.

Thank you, Demon King, for the gift—we thank you in advance.

Signed: Ganfanren, Ganfan Xianzi.

A very familiar name—moreover, the two came together this time.

Indeed, you really are together; this king will absolutely not spare you.

Gnashing his teeth, he spoke, and immediately the Black Tiger Demon King commanded his minions to start searching for Wang Wu and his companion.

It too shot up into the air, unfurling its divine sense, continually sweeping the area, trying to capture the two thieves' traces.

Great King.........

At that moment, the fleeing Sha Hu turned back, but before it could utter a word, the Black Tiger Demon King kicked it flying away.

Get lost, useless wretch—you can't even guard a treasury; what good are you to this king? Go find them; if you fail to capture those two little thieves, then take your own life to apologize.

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

In the dead of night, the Huling mountains erupted in chaos as the Black Tiger Demon King flew into a rage.

Meanwhile, Wang Wu and his companion fled, a faint light constantly glowing on their necks.

Spirit-Avoiding Pearl.

This is a treasure meant specifically to dodge divine-sense pursuit, and it is precisely by relying on the Spirit-Avoiding Pearl that the two can continually evade the Black Tiger Demon King's divine sense.

Sure enough, they each possessed such a treasure; exchanging a smile, everything was understood in silence.

Indeed, you are worthy of the title Thief Sage.

Indeed, you are worthy of the title Thief God.

Faintly from behind came the Black Tiger Demon King's furious roar.

You cannot escape; this time this king will absolutely not spare you, you bold little thieves.
