Chapter 36 - Invading the Castle

"What's this?", Lu Yin it is staring at a crystal vase that was heating in the fire. The four arrived in town and went with Shen Hua to buy the ingredients he needed.

Later they rented two rooms in a hotel, in one of them Shen Hua made the acid and in the other Lu Yin and the other two were waiting.

After waiting for a few hours Lu Yin went to Shen Hua's room and came across a bubbling liquid in the vase they had bought before.

"That's the acid I said earlier.", Shen Hua handed Lu Yin a mask, "Use that, the vapor of this reaction is toxic."

"Is that the acid you said before? Are you going to use it for what?", Lu Yin put on his mask and watched Shen Hua put out the fire.

"To open doors. I was going to use it to melt corpses but I changed my mind, the smell it releases is very strong.", Shen Hua poured the acid into four glass jars. "Have you done what I asked?"

"Yes, I exchanged my ring with Yami's. My ring has five square meters of space so you two can pick up a lot of items.", Lu Yin

noted Shen Hua store the jars in your ring. "So when are you two going?"

"Get these items, I don't want to leave them.", Shen Hua pointed to a pile of items containing some armor and plants.

"What's all this? These suits of armor are great, where did you get them? And why keep these plants?", Lu Yin asked as he put everything in his ring.

"I'll explain after, we have to go.", Shen Hua left the room and went to the room where Shen Ruo and Yami were, "Hey, we have to go.", Entering the room Shen Hua called the two who were training, Yami was doing pushups and Shen Ruo throwing cards.

"Ok!", they both said at the same time. Normally Shen Hua would make a joke, but was in a hurry.

"You haven't told the plan yet." Shen Ruo asked when Lu Yin arrived in the room.

"I want to know too," Lu Yin said, as Yami would go along, he is very worried.

"I'm going to break into the castle with Yami while you both order our lunch. I'm in the mood for something spicy. Ohh, and don't forget dessert, the sweeter the better!", Shen Hua said with a big smile.

"You're kidding! Take this seriously!", Lu Yin was furious, 'How can he be taking this as a joke?'

"I'm serious. We don't have a map of the castle so I have no way to plan a route. We have no information at all so we have nothing to plan. What we could do has already been done, prepare things that may prove useful.", Shen Hua said with a smile, but his eyes stared at Lu Yin seriously.

"Okay, but if you two don't come back in three hours, I'm going after you two.", Realizing that Shen Hua was serious Lu Yin calmed down and agreed.

"Brother I-", Shen Ruo was sad he could not help but knew he wasn't strong enough, "I'll get stronger so I can do more next time."

Shen Hua put his hand on Shen Ruo's shoulder, "I know you will."

"Let's go!", Shen Hua headed for the door with Yami following him. Before leaving he turned, "Wait for us on the road that leads to the Jewel Cave City, we'll take at least two hours for finish the robbery."

The royal city is huge, with the castle in its center. The castle has large walls of about thirty meters, protected by guards with some observation posts. In the vicinity of the castle are shops and is always full of people. Now Shen Hua and Yami were in their midst.

"So how do we get into the castle?", Yami asked turning to Shen Hua.

"Alone I can get sixty forward, with Shen Ruo I can get forty-five. It must be tight but it will work.", Shen Hua whispered and ran to the wall.

"Where are you going?", Yami followed Shen Hua to a narrow part of the wall and another building, "What are you going to do? A hole?"

"No, I'll jump." Shen Hua knelt with her back to Yami, "Come on up! Be prepared, if we find anyone we have to kill him quickly."

"No need to tell me that.", Yami climbed on Shen Hua's back as she spoke.

Shen Hua took out a dagger from his ring, used his lightning power, and bent down to jump. He jumped to the top of the nearby building and soon after used his power to the full and jumped the strongest he could.

'D*mn! It was too strong.', In the middle of the jump Shen Hua realized that he used a lot of force and will overtake the wall, 'If that happens we'll be seen for sure.'

When he was at the top of the wall Shen Hua struck the wall with her dagger arresting it, holding tightly managed to turn and land on the top of the wall next to a guard.

As soon as he touched the ground Shen Hua formed a sandblade below his wrist and used it to cut the guard's neck. From the building's jump up until cut the guard's throat, passed three seconds, so fast no one see he.

Wasting no time Shen Hua left Yami on the floor, which she was dizzy from what happened. To prevent the guard's neck from bleeding too much Shen Hua covered the wound with his webs, needed many, but putting with his five fingers and his power of lightning, increasing your speed, it was fast.

When he was done, he ran to the nearest observation post. Inside were three guards. Two watched the city as one looked into the castle.

Shen Hua ran up to the guard's back looking at the castle, covered his mouth with his hand and slit his throat with the sand blade in the other, then set him down on the floor taking extra care not to make noise. To prevent the guard from bleeding to the ground, Shen Hua covered the wound with webs, just as he did with the other guard..

He clasped his hands passing some sand, that he usually let on his forearm, to his other hand and formed a second sand blade. Appearing between the two guards, he reached out and tucked the blades in the middle of the two guards necks, then covered the wound them with webs.

When Yami regained her senses she saw Shen Hua standing beside the bodies of the two guards, she looked around and see the other two bodies, 'He is very fast. It must not have taken more than fifteen seconds to kill these four.'
