"The study in the back hall, the fourth blue brick from left to right under the west wall......"

Chu Tianba picked up the Qingxiao sword in his hand and swaggered towards the back house at Sima's house.

The lights are bright, and festive red lanterns and ribbons are hung everywhere, but the festive and lively environment is as quiet as a deserted house.

There is no bustle of people coming and going, and there is no staggered noise.

Not even the screams of murder.

In the past, with Chu Tianba's cautious character, he would definitely stop and take a closer look, or even send someone to inquire first.

But today is different, and I designed such a big game for the legendary back-grain knife. Chu Tianba had been preparing and enduring for more than ten years, and now that long-thinking treasure was in front of him, how could he still be as delicate and steady as usual.

Walking through the corridor where there was no one, he kept walking until he came to Sima Qingfeng's study.

There was no light in the study, it was pitch black.

This place is a forbidden area for the Sima family, only Sima Qingfeng and Sima Chunlei can enter and exit, and other family members are absolutely forbidden to enter, not to mention those servants who are subordinates.

If you dare to enter the study without permission, the servants will be beaten to death with sticks and will not listen to the explanation at all. Even Sima Xiayu, the second son of the Sima family, did not dare to enter the study without permission, otherwise he would inevitably have to eat a board.

This place, Chu Tianba naturally came before. It's just that every time he is accompanied by Sima Qingfeng, and he always talks about some very important things, he usually leaves after speaking, and he has never had the opportunity to stay in this study for long.

Chu Tianba pushed open the door, he glanced around the room, and then walked quickly to the lampstand in the corner of the study, and took out the fire fold from his arms.

Fingers pushed the plug off, then blew lightly.

Boom!

The orange flames rose from the tiny bamboo tube and shone on Chu Tianba's face in an instant, and he subconsciously narrowed his eyes in the dazzling light.

At this moment, I suddenly felt a wind behind my ears.

Swish!

Something stabbed at me, and the sound was already close at hand.

Chu Tianba's heart was full of chills, even if he had walked the rivers and lakes for many years, he had rarely encountered such a thrilling scene.

In front of him was a corner of the wall of the study, and when something was attacking behind him, he couldn't move forward to close the distance between him and the attack behind him.

The time chosen by the other party was also just right, just when he took out the fire fold to light the lamp, at this time he was distracted, and his back was exposed to the opponent's attack vision.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be certain to die in such a situation.

Unable to dodge the attack, or turning around to block, he could only be stabbed in the back of the heart with a dagger or blade before he could counterattack.

But Chu Tianba is an old fritter on the rivers and lakes after all, and he made the only right choice in an instant.

Poof.

He knelt down as soon as his knees weakened, but this time he didn't want to ask for mercy, but for a better killing move.

The whole person bent down like a strong bow on the string, and the Qingxiao long sword in his hand slashed a semi-circular arc in mid-air, slashing directly behind him.

Syllable!

It was the sound of the dagger being cut off by the Qingxiao Sword.

This was followed by the popping sound of the sword piercing into the body, mixed with the assassin's subconscious cries of pain, and the sound of blood dripping.

Chu Tianba slapped the ground with his left hand, and the person spun on the ground like a spinning top, then drew his sword and stopped.

"Uh......"

The black-clad assassin didn't have time to say a word, and the terrifying sword aura wrenched the internal organs in his body into a pile of minced meat, and blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth.

With a pop, the dead body fell to the ground.

"His grandmother's, there are actually dead soldiers who have arranged to guard this place......"

Chu Tianba couldn't help but spit at the assassin on the ground, if it weren't for his quick wits and the sharpness of the sword in his hand, he would have died here today.

He stepped forward and peeled off the black scarf from the dead man's face with his sword, and found that the other man's face had long been covered with various scars, and he couldn't identify him at all.

Those scars are all old wounds, and they have been deliberately made long ago to cover up the identity of these dead soldiers.

Chu Tianba couldn't help but stab two more swords, but the assassin on the ground had already lost his breath and was already so dead that he couldn't die anymore.

"Riding a horse, Sima Qingfeng, this old dog!"

Chu Tianba cursed a few more words, then turned around to take the fire fold that had been thrown on the ground and lit the lampstand in the corner of the room.

In the process of lighting the candlestick, Chu Tianba had been holding the Qingxiao Sword tightly in his right hand, for fear that he would light the candle and suddenly he didn't know from which corner another dead man came out.

Fortunately, until all the lampstands in the study were lit, no second dead man rushed out.

"Looks like the old dog only arranged for a dead man......"

The existence of the dead soldiers, which can no longer be regarded as human beings, not only has to spend a lot of money and manpower, but also uses Gu-like means to make them kill each other.

Often, a hundred people can only get two or three dead soldiers through the method of raising Gu.

But these dead soldiers who crawled out of the pile of dead people are no longer considered human beings, they are often indifferent to life, whether it is someone else's or their own, and only know how to follow the orders of their masters.

Chu Tianba held the Qingxiao Sword and came to the west wall of the study.

"One, two, three, four......"

He lowered his head and counted the bricks on the ground until he came to the one that was said to have hidden the back-patterned knife.

That green brick was almost the same as the others next to it, if he hadn't been told in advance, Chu Tianba would never have imagined that there was something he dreamed of hiding under this seemingly ordinary green brick.

Chu Tianba squatted down, gently grabbed the edge of the green brick with his left hand, and was about to pull it out forcefully, when his heart suddenly moved.

Years of experience in the rivers and lakes made him have to be cautious, if it wasn't for the assassin's life-sacrificing assassination just now, he might not have been so careful, but through the assassination between life and death just now, it was like a basin of cold water poured down from his head, and the originally extremely inflated greed in his heart was also suppressed.

Even if there are dead men guarding it, there is no guarantee that there will be no other dangers here.

Chu Tianba let go of his left hand, he looked left and right, and then his gaze fell on the dead soldier who fell to the ground not far away.

He walked over and grasped the dead man's shirt tightly with his hand, holding the latter in front of him like a shield.

Syllable!

At the same time as the green brick was pulled out, it was accompanied by a crisp sound of machine buckle.

This was followed by a rapid sound of breaking wind.

Sou!

Chu Tianba felt that the dead corpse in his hand was slammed into it with a huge force, and then he raised his head and saw a pitch-black arrow that had been half-pierced from the corpse.

There is not even a trace of light on the arrowhead made of pig iron, and an arrow like this must have been quenched with a special method, even if it is not a poison that seals the throat with blood, it is definitely not an ordinary poison.

He took several steps back before throwing the dead body in his hand aside.

"Tut-tut, Sima Laogou, you are really scheming, hahahahaha......"

Chu Tianba sneered twice, and then he walked to the ground where the green bricks had been pulled out again.

Looking down, I could see a black box with iron chains in the dim light of the room.

Hold the chain in one hand and pump it up firmly.

The black box was carried in Chu Tianba's hand, and until now he still held the Qingxiao Sword tightly in his right hand.

Pushed aside all the pen, ink, paper, and inkstones on Sima Qingfeng's desk, and then put the black box in his hand on the table.

"Huh? This old thing has a lot to prepare......"

On the side of the black box hangs a strangely shaped iron lock, which seems to be only possible with a special key.

Hehe.

With a slash of the Qingxiao Sword in his hand, the iron lock was cut in half and fell to the ground.

Chu Tianba couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, his eyes stared at the black box in front of him for a moment, like a superb glutton, seeing a delicacy that had almost been lost.

He gently pushed the black box open with his left hand, and a soft red glow poured down from the open gap, the red light was soft and seductive.

Goo-dong.

Chu Tianba's swallowing voice echoed in the room of the study.

When the black box was pushed open, the long-thinking back-pattern knife quietly appeared in front of him.

Tiny patterns clinged to the snow-white and bright blade, and a faint red light flowed out from those cracks, adding a bit of red light to the whole room.

"Hahahahaha......"

Chu Tianba put the Qingxiao Sword on the table, and then gently placed his right hand on the Hongxia long knife, slowly rubbing it.

Airplanes!

There was a sudden chill on his fingers, and he raised his right hand with some puzzlement, only to find that the fingers that had rubbed the blade just now had been shaved off a layer of flesh.

A faint red of blood oozed out.

"Hahaha......"

Chu Tianba looked at the blood oozing from his fingertips, but laughed even louder.

He succeeded, and he finally got his hands on the legendary Backprint Knife!

From today onwards, his name of Chu Tianba will resound throughout Jiangcheng...... No, it will resound throughout the rivers and lakes! From now on, his Chu family is a first-class famous family in the rivers and lakes, and he Chu Tianba is the number one swordsman in the world.

No. 1 in the world!

These four words seemed to have a strange kind of magic power, which made the greed and desire in Chu Tianba's heart swell rapidly, and for a while, he devoured all the little reason that was left.

"I'm the number one knife in the world, hahahahahahaha...... The first knife in the world! With this knife in hand, who is my opponent among the heroes of the world? They can only bow down under my sword, hahaha......"

Chu Tianba grabbed the hilt of the knife and took the unsheathed Hongxia long knife out of the black box.

Swish!

Long knives dance in the air.

Everything in the study was broken, and the wooden shelves, books, porcelain, and antiques were all cut by the sharp blades.

There was a crackling, and the crumbs of all sorts fell to the ground, making a noisy noise.

With Chu Tianba's more and more arrogant laughter.

There was no complete item in Sima Qingfeng's study.

"It's a pity that Lao Tzu's left hand was cut off, otherwise with a knife in one hand and a sword in the other, who else is my opponent of Chu Tianba above the rivers and lakes......"

His left hand was cut off in half by this Hongxia long knife, and although he practiced diligently over the years, it was absolutely impossible to hold a sword without three fingers.

Stomp and tread.

Suddenly, there were a few slight footsteps on the roof, as if someone was flying over the roof.

"Hahaha, it's time for my precious knife to drink blood......"

Chu Tianba laughed, and walked out with the Hongxia long knife in his hand.

In the courtyard in front of the study, the moonlight covered the entire ground like snow.

Everything was white, as if it was snowing.

Only Chu Tianba stood proudly in the middle of the courtyard, and the red glowing red sword in his hand forced all the surrounding moonlight back, leaving only that pale red light.

Boom!

The man on the roof stopped, he was dressed in black, and against the bright full moon in the sky, it looked more like a black crack that could not be filled.

"Boy! I don't care who you are from the Sima family, today I can only say that you are unlucky...... No, you are lucky to be able to die in the hands of Chu Tianba, the first sword in the world. ”

Chu Tianba pointed the long knife in his hand upward, and in his heart, he already regarded the man in black on the roof who had never met as a dead person.

The man with a flower-picking face looked at the long knife that emitted red light with retrospective eyes, he heard Chu Tianba's shout, but he didn't pay attention to it at all.

"Boy, come down quickly and die!"

Chu Tianba held the long knife in his hand and scolded loudly. His light skills are so average that he is not even sure that he can handsomely fly to the roof and kill this kid, so he can only deceive the other party first.

Scold.

Nan Er held the long knife at his waist with his backhand, looking at Chu Tianba who was barking like a mad dog in the courtyard, there was only disdain and ridicule in his eyes.

"You dog mongrel with eyes and beads, Lao Tzu is Chu Tianba, and he will be the first knife in the world in the world in the future!"

Chu Tianba felt the other party's contemptuous eyes sweep over, and he suddenly felt a nameless anger swelling in his heart, and his pupils were instantly covered with bloodshots.

He couldn't stand it, he definitely couldn't stand the other party's eyes looking at him like ants. Why look down on me, I am Chu Tianba, the head of the Chu family in Jiangcheng, the first knife in the world in the future!

With a reverse knife in his hand, killing the world's heroes is as simple as slaughtering a dog.

Now he is actually looked down upon by a nobody!

Crunch, crunch.

There was a screeching sound between the teeth rubbing, and Chu Tianba's mind was already filled with rapidly expanding killing intent and twisted anger.

Raising the knife, the red light of the knife reflected on his cheek, like blood.

"I'm going to kill you, a bastard, and cut you with a thousand knives! Thousands of corpses! Crush the bones and scatter ashes! ”

Chu Tianba stepped on the ground with both feet, leaped up violently, and the long knife in his hand was raised high, and a red glow swept through the air.

"I'm going to kill your whole family!"

Heh-

Nan Er just sneered, and the whole person flew down.

Draw, draw, retract.

Coherent.

When—

The red glow long knife broke in response to the sound in the middle.
