Chapter 231: Chapter 72 Paperman and Rejuvenation Pill_2The creator, for some unknown purpose, had even drawn a scarf over the lower half of the face. Since it was a Paperman, it made no sound when moving, which is why it had gone unnoticed until now. At that moment, the Paperman also noticed him and Xiao Wang. Its facial features squeezed into a strange smile, and with a stretch of its hand, a paper knife appeared. It swung the knife at Xiao Wang, who, oblivious, looked at Xiao Jie in confusion. "Watch out!" Xiao Jie shouted. Xiao Wang was quick to react. He suddenly ducked and narrowly avoided the slash. As he turned around and saw the Paperman, he was startled and immediately fired his gun. Bang, bang, bang! The bullets pierced through the body of the Paperman, creating several holes but doing no damage. The Paperman slashed again. This time Xiao Wang couldn’t avoid it in time, and he screamed as a deep gash was cut into his arm, blood immediately flowing out. As the Paperman raised its knife to strike again, thankfully, Xiao Jie had drawn his treasure sword and blocked the attack with force. Clang! A crisp sound of metal clashing rang out, the paper knife not only incredibly sharp, but also feeling like metal upon impact. Xiao Jie spun his blade, unleashing the Illusion Destruction Nine Forms sequentially. Although he had killed countless in the game, it was his first time engaging in combat in real life, so he instinctively used a standard Saber Skill combo. The Paperman’s saber skill was no less formidable. Clang, clang, clang! The two exchanged blows, evenly matched. Just as Xiao Jie was getting the hang of it, the door of the study behind him suddenly burst open, and two Papermen rushed out, one wielding a long spear, the other a treasure sword, each weapon made of paper, attacking together. Xiao Jie was decisive, knowing his position was unfavorable for prolonged combat with enemies on both sides, no matter how good his saber skills were. "Jump!" Xiao Jie roared and flipped sideways off the staircase, landing lightly on the ground while Xiao Wang also thudded down to the first floor. The Papermen from upstairs promptly chased after them. "Quick, get out!" Xiao Jie yelled, pulling Xiao Wang towards the exit. Xiao Wang ran alongside, firing at the Papermen, but the extra holes made in their bodies were useless. Just then, another Paperman wielding a large axe burst out and swung at them. Xiao Jie quickly let go of Xiao Wang’s glove, pushing him out the door in a smooth motion. Xiao Wang barely got up when he turned around to see four Papermen encircling Xiao Jie. He gasped in shock, "Mr. Xiao!" Then he saw the four Papermen charging together, weapons raised. It’s over! Xiao Wang felt a chill of despair, fearing he had bungled his mission. The next second, Xiao Jie bent down to grasp the handle of his sword, took a Charging stance, and whirled around fiercely. Secret technique—Vortex! The sword light, like a blade-made vortex, swept through the Papermen, flashing in the darkness. Swish, swish, swish! The sound of the blade spinning and cutting echoed as Xiao Jie stopped with his sword pointing back at a forty-five-degree angle, looking dashing; the four Papermen around him had already turned into shreds of scattered paper. Xiao Wang was stunned, looked at his handgun, then at Xiao Jie’s treasure sword, and a determined look appeared in his eyes, as if he had made a certain decision. Xiao Jie quickly jumped out of the circle, using his sword to scatter the paper scraps on the ground, making sure they wouldn’t move again, then he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, his face felt stinging hot; touching it, he found a cut made by one of the Papermen’s blades. Damn, these Papermen are weird as hell. Luckily, it was just a superficial wound. These Papermen must have been sent by Chen Tianwen’s enemies. They had been searching in the study, definitely after the Rejuvenation Pill left by Chen Tianwen. Xiao Wang, still shaken, looked at the paper scraps on the ground. "Mr. Xiao, what are these things?" "Not sure, they seem to be some form of Spell, certainly sent by the person after Chen Tianwen as a finishing move. You’d better call Captain Lin for backup right away; I need to go upstairs to fetch something," Xiao Jie said as he started toward the stairs. Hopefully, no one else would get to the Rejuvenation Pill first. Having dispatched four Papermen boosted his confidence in his own combat abilities, and it seemed the opponent didn’t dare to show themselves, just sent summoned creatures instead. Most likely out of fear of the Game Administration Bureau. After all, unless one reached the status of an immortal, exposing one’s identity is quite inconsequential before the might of state power. Cautiously pushing open the door to the study, Xiao Jie peeked inside to ensure there were no ambushes before entering. Xiao Jie first surveyed the study. The arrangement was much the same as last time, piled with books everywhere. Several ancient paintings hung on the walls—a painting of Four Immortals dancing, a painting of an Eagle Spreading Wings, and another rather peculiar one featuring an old man sleeping under an ancient tree. In the middle of the study stood a desk, covered with a book and miscellaneous items like copper coins and turtle shells. Xiao Jie glanced over and saw it was a handwritten copy of "The Book of Changes." The page it was opened to read— [Pi: The stranger of Pi does not benefit the nobleman’s persistence, major exchanges... The explanation says: Heaven and earth do not interact, Pi; the nobleman uses conservation to avoid difficulties, not seeking to prosper through office...] Xiao Jie looked at it for a moment, unsure what it meant.
