Chapter 634: Invisible Needle


    After knowingwho these people were,I felt somewhat panicked. Any one of them could beat me. I told myselfthatno matter what, I had to stick to Chuyi!


    Afterwe ate ourmeal, we went to the market area one more time. There were more sellers now. However, we couldnt find the mermaidstears.Feeling helpless, we returned to the inn.


    It was a bad coincidence that the people from the Longquan Vi also stayed in this inn. I wondered if they had done that on purpose.


    When we walked through the door, the four of them were going out. The two parties met again. Invisible sparks of hatred were sent into the air one more time.


    Chuyi didnt bat an eyeattheir malicious faces. He pushed the one in his way aside and went upstairs.


    I was curious. Those people were as strong as Chuyi, or even stronger,sowhydidn''t theydare tofightagainst us? Anyway, it wasnt the right time to ask. I hurriedly walked behind Chuyi. When I walked past Ryuzawa Ichiro, he purposely nudged me. I lost bnce and almost tumbled.


    Before I couldlose my temper, Chuyi called, Jiulin, you cant bite the dog that has bitten you, right?


    Haha. Of course, I cant.


    Iughedand rolledmy eyes atRyuzawaIchiro. Themanblushedand balledhis fists together. Iignoredhim. Isteadied myself andcontinuedto walk up the stairs.


    Suddenly, Zen MasterBaimeilet out an Ouchbehind me. When I turned around, I saw him on the ground. One-armed Dragon and Yin Yang Tiger smirked nearby.


    Zen MasterBaimei, are you all right?


    I hurriedly pulled him up, then turnedand shoutedat the other four. Youjerks, do you want to fight?


    Hey, that old monk tripped by himself. Whyareyouming it on us?


    One-armed Dragon smiled coldlyand pattedZen MasterBaimeis face. Hey old man, youbetter watch your way. Imin agoodmood, so I dont want to talk abouthowyouve interfered with my business. Youre lucky, you know.


    They allughed haughtily before leaving. I couldnt stand them anymoreand drew outthe EmeiPiercer. Zen MasterBaimeiheld my armand said calmly, YoungBenefactor, if you get mad now, itwont bedifferent from admitting that theyve sessfully humiliated me.


    Damn it! I spat with a dark face.


    Zen MasterBaimeiwas right. The others had done that to provoke us. I knew that we shouldnt haveadispute with them now.However,I was so aggrievedto see themhumiliateZen MasterBaimei.


    After wewentinto our rooms, Chuyi looked at me. He said in a seriousvoice,If you dont feelfortable, read the Sacred Text of Daoism as many times asyou need. You shouldnt let them enrage you.


    Then, he left with his sword. I didnt go with him. As I knewthat theLongquan Vis people wouldnte to my room directly, Iidon the bed and studied theInvisible Needle.


    Since that fraudulent middle-aged man had used the needle before, ithadhis blood on it. I had todropmore of my bloodto force his blood out.


    Then, I tried to control the Invisible Needle to suspend it vertically with mythoughts. Indeed, the needle turned vertical!After that, I tried to make the needle perform some simple tasks. AfterI becamefamiliar with the tempo, I closed the door and used my thoughts to control the needle to move into the keyhole.


    Surprisingly, I found that while the Invisible Needle was moving inside the keyhole, I was able to see the inner structure of the keyhole. I controlled the needleand moved itfor a while. Then, with a short crackle, the lock was picked!


    Haha, Ivegot a great treasure this time!


    Iughed happily. I thought that I could work as a lock picker. Icould justpickup callsfrom people who needed helpand stay at home while opening locks byonly usingmythoughts


    Then, I tried tostabthe needle into the wall. At first, I focused on manipting the needle.Unfortunately,I failed a few times. When the Invisible Needle came near the wall, it just fell. I felt a little distressed.Onthest attempt, the needle pierced into the wall.


    I was surprised andsoongot it. I shouldnt focus too much on controlling the needle if I wanted to use it as a weapon. Rxing my mind while controlling it would give me a better result.


    I used this method to try a few more times. Indeed, controlling the needle with a rxed mindmadethe needle move faster and with more force. Shortly after, Iwas able tomake a lot of tiny holesin the wall between my room and Zen MasterBaimeis room.


    As the needle had stabbed into the wall many times at the same spot, Idmadea hole as big as a finger.


    I fetched a band-aid from my bag to cover the hole. But then, Ibecamecurious and wanted to peepintoZen MasterBaimeis room. Iwentand looked through the hole. Zen MasterBaimeiwas sleeping.


    Right when I was about to leave the hole, his window gently opened, without makinga sound.


    All the windows in this inn were old-fashioned. Whenever someone opened the door or the window, there would be many squeaking sounds. But this time, it movedwithout a sound. My heart rose to my throat.


    Ithad tobe a hotshot who could control his force well. Ryuzawa Ichiros image poppedintomy mind all of a sudden!


    Indeed, when the window finally opened, a masked man jumped in. Althoughthe distance from the window to the floor was less thantwo meters, the man gently rolled a few times in midair beforending with both hands on the ground. His movementswere agile and fast. It was the typical Japanese ninjutsu!


    I had never imagined that they would ambush us. I wanted to wake up Zen MasterBaimei, but then, I remembered my Invisible Needle. Ryuzawa Ichiro happened to be a nice target to practice on.


    Afternding, Ryuzawa Ichiro didnt take action immediately. He carefully observed Zen MasterBaimei. I took this chance and controlled the Invisible Needle with mythoughts.I just wanted to give him a lesson, so I made the needle aim at his ear.


    Unexpectedly, Zen MasterBaimeisuddenly shifted on his bed. Instinctively, Ryuzawa Ichiro turned to run away, which revealed his nape. The Invisible Needle immediately stabbed him right in his nape!


    I heard his bonebreakwith a crisp noise. Ryuzawa Ichiro felltothe ground. He tried to get up with the helpofboth of his hands as he wanted to turn and see what had ambushed him. But he couldnt do anything. In the end, he slumped on the ground like a mass of cotton.


    Zen MasterBaimeiwas awoken by Ryuzawa Ichiros move. He got up and saw the open window and Ryuzawa Ichiro on the ground.Themonk helplessly put his palms together in front of his chest. Merciful Buddha.


    I rushed to Zen MasterBaimeis room and turned Ryuzawa Ichiroaround. Hewas unconscious. I tried to pull him up. However, whenI pulled him, his neck tilted to one side.


    Whats wrong?


    I opened my eyes wideand triedto adjust his head a few more times. However, no matter what Idid, his head tilted to one side. It wasas though his neck was broken.


    Zen MasterBaimeicameand checkedRyuzawa Ichiros neck. Then, he gaspedin disbelief.How didthathappen?


    Ryuzawa Ichiros cervical spine was broken by the Invisible Needle!


    Zen MasterBaimeiand I couldnt figure out howthishappened. We became vignt as we were afraid that the others from the Longquan Vi woulde soon.


    Fortunately, Chuyi returned shortly after. Seeing Ryuzawa Ichiro on the bed, he frowned. Before I could exin, he came to check the man. Soon, herealizedthat Ryuzawa Ichiroscervicalspine was broken. His face turned dark. Hecoldlyredat me. Didnt I tell you not to attack them? What happened?


    Zen MasterBaimeiwouldnt act impulsively. Thatwaswhy Chuyiimmediatelyconcluded it was me. I knew the dispute between us and that the Longquan Vi would rocket after this. I carefully exined what happened to him.


    Chuyis face turned better. He checkedRyuzawaIchiros neck one more time. In the end, he shook his head. The cervical spine is connected to the major nerves of the human body. Hes paralyzed now. Itll be more than lucky if he canwake upagain.Otherwise, he has to live inavegetative condition for the rest of his life.


    I was dispirited. Chuyiforted me. Youre not to be med. You just wanted to save Zen MasterBaimei.


    After all,Ryuzawa Ichirowas to be med. He was justunluckythis time. Since ninjas often tookdangerousmissions, they all knew how to shrink their bones to make their bodies smaller, which would create this reflex in the long run.


    When Zen MasterBaimeishifted on his bed, Ryuzawa Ichiro wasso anxiousthat his bones shrank together at that short moment.Thecervical spine wasfragile. Under thepressing forcethathe had created with his reflex, when the Invisible Needle pierced into his neck, it was able to break his cervical spine.


    I felt a little better after listening to hisexnation. However, I was worried. What should we do? I have turned the Young Master of Longquan Vi into a disabled man. Im sure they will try their best to kill me. I think they will do that even beforethetrade conference is over!
