Chapter 640 - 637: Secretly Drugging
"What was that sound?"
"I don’t know, I didn’t see anyone pass by; maybe we heard wrong."
"No, better to be careful. We shouldn’t let anything go wrong. You know the Pavilion Master’s temper; if something goes wrong, we’ll both pay dearly."
"Alright then, you go take a look, and I’ll stay here."
After the exchange, a Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Disciple left his post and headed straight towards the source of the noise.
Seeing the other party attracted, Ling Chen smiled in relief and quickly detoured from the side. The stone he had thrown was in a position neither too close nor too far, just right to avoid the line of sight of another guard.
Taking advantage of the guard’s inattention, Ling Chen suddenly sprang from behind, drew close swiftly, and knocked the man to the ground with a heavy hand-chop to the back of his neck. Instantly, a muffled grunt was heard, and the man immediately passed out unconscious.
Ling Chen quickly dragged the man’s body and moved him to a dark corner. Then, he pulled out a pre-loaded small crossbow and aimed it at the entrance’s guard.
Whoosh!
The tranquilizer dart shot out and struck the guard’s arm accurately. These supplies were provided by Lin Jiawei; the tranquilizer developed by the God Organization was exceptionally effective. In less than a second, the guard collapsed on the ground, without a chance to even make a sound.
Having silently dealt with two guards, Ling Chen quietly sighed in relief, swiftly crossed the passage, and entered the Yangxin Pavilion.
The night was thick, without stars or moon, with a cold mountain breeze howling through the midway, sweeping up countless broken grass and leaves, swirling in the air.
