C8 Bodyguard

A streak of white light shone from the back of the thug's head.

Following that, Zhang Chao's wrist, which was about to land with the hammer, suddenly felt like it was electrocuted.

"Clang!" The hammer fell to the ground and bounced a few times.

The white light danced a few times behind the thug's back before landing on his shoulder.

"Magic treasure!" Zhang Chao's pupils contracted as he covered his aching right hand and cursed himself in his heart.

Too careless.

He really didn't expect that this guy, who looked like a mere underling, would actually have a magical equipment protecting him.

Could it be that the lives of the people in the city were so luxurious that even the thugs were given magical equipment?

But because of this magic treasure, he had failed.

This was big trouble!

"Hmph hmph, I knew that you would not be at peace, you want to sneak in an attack on me? "You're still a little young. Fortunately, I borrowed a protective magical equipment a few days ago to watch. I didn't expect you to come in handy!" The thug turned his head with a sneer, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"I borrowed it! His magic treasure was actually borrowed!" Zhang Chao wanted to cry, but no tears came out.

F * ck, what idiot lent all his artifacts?

He could still make it in time. Without these unlucky magic treasures, he would have already gotten his hands on it.

His left eye scanned the area, and when he saw the true face of the magic treasure, his heart sank again.

The magical equipment was extremely small and exquisite. It was only as thick as a finger, and its entire body was bright silver like a small fish. It was currently twisting its body and resting on the guard's shoulder.

It was a high-grade Mortal level magic treasure!

Zhang Chao had a ridiculous feeling.

High-grade Mortal grade treasures appeared on the body of a helper who was only at the second level of the Natal Opening Realm.

He had heard the teacher talk about magic treasures before. Ordinary cultivators with Natal Opening Realm would not be able to own magic treasures of this quality. Even if they were lucky enough to obtain one, it would be because their cultivation was too low, to the point where they could not even unleash a tenth of the power of the magic treasure.

Therefore, when this treasure appeared on the thug's body, Zhang Chao could only conclude it with one word: Wasting!

But no matter how unhappy he was, he couldn't let his guard down.

"Smelly brat, they went to find trouble with that old thing. Since I have nothing better to do, I'll use you to stretch my muscles!" The thug clenched his fists and punched towards Zhang Chao.

However, Zhang Chao suddenly took a step back and raised both his hands, dodging the punch: "I surrender, I'm wrong, you're powerful, I can't beat you, I surrender!"

"Huh?" The thug was taken aback.

What was going on?

Surrender suddenly?

"Hmph, do you think that you can just say 'surrender'? If it wasn't for the protection of the magic treasure just now, I'm afraid that even if I didn't die, I would still be half crippled after being struck by your blow! " Just as he was about to attack Zhang Chao again, he was suddenly stunned and stopped in his tracks.

"Where did he go?" The corner of his eyes had just inadvertently swept across the ground, and he was dumbstruck to discover that the iron hammer Zhang Chao used to launch a sneak attack on him had disappeared!

"Where did you go?" What do you think? Don't worry, you'll see it again soon! " Zhang Chao said as the corner of his mouth rose.

"What?" Before he could finish the word 'what', the thug felt something digging into the back of his head. Then, he became dizzy and his brain was about to explode. Blood gushed out from his mouth and nose...

His body fell forward uncontrollably, falling to the ground. An iron hammer was almost embedded in the back of his head …

"How could this be … "If that's the case..." Both of his eyes were completely bloodshot. In disbelief, he used all his strength to lift his head to look at Zhang Chao, only to discover that there was a line tied to the middle finger of Zhang Chao's right hand that was difficult to see with the naked eye!

In that instant, he understood everything. However, his consciousness also dispersed, and he fainted.

"Hey, you don't get tired of fighting. This was taught to me by that old fogey, Teacher!" Zhang Chao hooked his finger, and the hammer flew back into his hand.

The end of the hammer was also connected to that transparent fishing line.

"Buzz!" Suddenly, the magical equipment on the thug's body trembled and emitted a faint silver light. It was as if the thug wanted to escape on his own.

"Where do you think you're going?" Zhang Chao immediately grabbed it.

"Pa Pa Pa!" Strands of electric current were once again released from the treasure.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Zhang Chao grimaced in pain, but this time he was mentally prepared, he had to endure the pain and could not let go.

At the same time, he continued to release elemental energy to counter the electric current. The lustre in his left eye circulated as he saw through the magic treasure!

"You know how to subdue you, and you still dare to electric me?" Very quickly, Zhang Chao revealed a smile, and immediately released a burst of spirit force to drill into the treasure, and thrusted with power!

The treasure immediately became listless, the electric current disappeared, and it laid in the center of Zhang Chao's palm motionlessly.

"These eyes are too magical!" When he had seen through the treasures earlier, he had even seen through the internal structure, characteristics, textures and all the other things inside the treasures!

"Hehe, I also know how to erase your original owner's imprint so that you can thoroughly become my, Zhang Chao's, thing!" Licking his lips, Zhang Chao struck the iron while it was still hot, he immediately erased all the marks on the treasure and casually threw it into his pocket.

As for how to use it, he would study it in the future.

He didn't dare to stay any longer. After all, ambushing a thug was already very dangerous. Plus, there were still two people in the tunnel, Swordsman and Lu Li, so he didn't have much chance of winning.

"Dead! Why did he die? Where are the items? Where are they? " Sure enough, a heart-wrenching roar came from below.

"Hurry, hurry up. The things must be in that little bastard's hands. Don't let him escape!" As he spoke, the sound of impatient footsteps rang out.

"Damn it! The world is dangerous, hurry up and retreat!" Zhang Chao's body shivered, he immediately turned and ran out of the smithy.

Using his elemental energy, he moved as fast as he could.

The streets were still crisscrossed. One could only hear the sound of blades and faces behind them as their curses became softer and softer.

"Phew, phew, I'm so tired!" Zhang Chao was tired from running and sat on the steps of a rich family while panting heavily.

Although it was a thrill without danger, he was still very proud. The past three days had been a great harvest for him.

Putting aside what he had obtained from Old Li, just the silver magic treasure in the shape of a small fish was enough to make him happy for the night.

It was a pity that he had offended such a cruel and unscrupulous fellow. Moreover, there was a force called Tiehe Association backing him, which made him a little worried.

"This won't do. If I want to be safe for a period of time, I have to find a safe place to stay. I have to take advantage of the shade under the big tree!" As he rested, he pondered and looked around.

The surrounding walls were tall and straight, and the layout was neat and tidy. No matter how one looked at it, it seemed to be the residence of a wealthy family.

"Unknowingly, you've come to the territory of the rich? "No wonder that sharp guy didn't chase after us!" He rubbed his chin. When he came to Can City with the teachers when he was young, he had heard that the families here were not simple. There were many experts overseeing the place, and there were even many existences that had surpassed the Natal Opening Realm.

Just as he was thinking about this, the sound of a door opening came from behind him.

It was a red lacquer door, and after it was opened, a middle-aged man dressed as a servant stuck his head out and looked around, and his gaze landed on Zhang Chao: "Hey!"

"Huh?" Zhang Chao very naturally turned his head around.

"Are you the blacksmith we made an appointment with?" The servant looked at Zhang Chao and asked doubtfully.

"Hmm? Blacksmith? It can be! " Zhang Chao was startled at first, but his thoughts raced and he immediately stood up. Patting the dust off of his body, he revealed a charming smile.

"Why are you so young? Didn't they say to send a mature and steady old master? " The servant curled his lips in doubt.

"Ha, so young and full of energy. Look at my muscles and my body. My work is much smoother than that of an old man!" Zhang Chao said as he bent his arm to show the small bump on his arm.

"So it's like that, I wonder how the work on hand is doing!" The servant hesitated.

"That can't be wrong. A famous master has his own great disciple, so I naturally inherited the legacy. Let alone forging, I can even try out a magical treasure!" Zhang Chao patted his chest and recommended himself.

"He can even make magic treasures?" As expected, when the servant heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately walked out of the door, raising his hand in a gesture of "please": "Then Little Master, please come in!"

"Hehe, you're too polite!" enjoyed the nickname "Little Master" a lot. With his hands behind his back and his back upright, he walked through the red lacquer door.

Walking past the administration room and into the courtyard, the view before them suddenly became clear.

Birds chirruped, flowers danced, mountains rose, lakes rippled, a few golden carp swam in the water.

"Holy sh * t, so luxurious? So extravagant? This … "How much is this?" Zhang Chao's eyes widened as he continuously looked left and right.

He had stayed in the destitute northern mountains for sixteen years. Even if he had opened his eyes to the world, he had only roughly glimpsed a corner of the city.

As for the truly rich, he had only heard of it from the teacher. This was his first time witnessing it with his own eyes.

"Little Master, please come this way. The other masters have all arrived and are waiting for you!" The servant didn't care about Zhang Chao's awkward look as a bumpkin entering the city, and brought him through a few corridors to the back of the courtyard.

From afar, one could see a huge smokestack, billowing black smoke that was accompanied by dancing sparks.

Just as Zhang Chao followed the servant towards the direction of the chimney, a sharp voice came out.

"You, why is it you? Why are you here? " It was a woman's voice, as if she was frightened!

"Ai?" Zhang Chao looked over after hearing it, his entire person was instantly dumbstruck, as though he had been petrified.

Not too far away, in a corridor, stood a red-clothed woman. She was extremely beautiful, so beautiful that she could topple empires.

But at this time, she was staring at Zhang Chao with her big round eyes, her cherry lips had opened to the limit, and her entire body was trembling uncontrollably.

"I'll go, won't I?" Zhang Chao almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

This was a situation where enemies met each other in narrow paths, right?

This beauty was the one that he had saved from the big bearded man and the cross-eyed man before he came to the Can City!
