Ling Tian was surprised to discover that the time in the spiritual realm space had a 2:1 ratio with the outside world.
This meant that for every hour Ling Tian spent in the spiritual realm space, only half an hour had passed in the outside world.
It was important to remember that time was the most ancient and profound law in this world.
The discrepancy in time between the inside and outside of the space offered many possibilities.
Ling Tian was fascinated by all of this, but thankfully, he remained clear-headed, knowing what he was here to do and what he needed to accomplish.
Outside the vault at this moment, the van had long since departed. This was their last haul for the month.
Under mutual supervision, several finance and security personnel counted the cash before storing it in the vault located on the second floor of the small building.
As 5:30 PM arrived, the security guards took turns heading to the mess hall to get their meals and eat them at their posts.
Their lives had been quite leisurely before, but after the major incident at the Jin family's vault, they were forced to be extremely cautious.
The eldest young master of the Jin family, Jin Peng, had already issued a stern warning: if anything went wrong, they would pay with their lives.
Each of them knew very well that the eldest young master of the Jin family was not joking.
After finishing dinner, the vault guards began to sense something was amiss.
Some with weaker wills simply fell into a deep sleep, as if they hadn't slept for a week, and couldn't be woken even by thunder.
Those with stronger willpower also felt their eyelids grow heavy. No matter how much they pinched themselves, their bodies refused to obey, and they succumbed to sleep.
At this very moment, Ling Tian’s figure appeared out of thin air on the roof of the two-story building.
Ling Tian was dressed in black, wearing a green fish head mask on his head, looking both comical and eerie.
His body descended from the second floor, landing silently, and he proceeded directly to the surveillance room.
The two individuals inside the surveillance room were snoring like pigs, sleeping soundly.
With a flicker of thought, Ling Tian caused the host computer of the surveillance equipment, including the hard drives, to vanish.
This instantly paralyzed all surveillance equipment in the entire factory.
Ling Tian turned around with satisfaction and entered the factory building. However, at that moment, a cold glint of light attacked him from above.
Ling Tian forcefully halted his advance, tilting his body slightly. A long saber, its blade grazing Ling Tian's nose, missed its mark!
Ling Tian then noticed a man holding a long saber, glaring at him with fury.
This man was one of the six experts recently dispatched by Jin Tianxiang.
This particular individual had suffered from an upset stomach that day and had not eaten dinner, thus he was unaffected by the soporific drug.
However, his companions had all fallen victim to Ling Tian's scheme.
Before this fellow could even report the matter to the Jin family, he saw Ling Tian enter the surveillance room.
Discovering that Ling Tian was alone, he mustered his courage to launch a sneak attack.
In his eyes, capturing Ling Tian by surprise would be a great achievement, and the Jin family would surely reward him handsomely.
However, while this fellow's thoughts were quite pleasant, he hadn't anticipated how cruel reality could be. The Ling Tian before him was no ordinary person, but a monstrous figure!
"Who are you? Do you know where you are to dare cause trouble here!"
"I am your father, come, kneel down and call me Daddy!" Ling Tian said, his voice high-pitched and mocking.
"You're seeking death!"
Enraged by Ling Tian's attitude, the man brandished his long saber and thrust it directly at Ling Tian's abdomen.
Judging by the man's swordsmanship, Ling Tian knew he was an expert. His strike was sharp and cunning, and his grip on the saber allowed him to change tactics at any moment. This was undoubtedly the work of a master!
However, Ling Tian did not dodge this killing blow. Instead, he moved directly towards the blade.
Ling Tian's footwork was incredibly strange. With just one step forward, he perfectly evaded the blade's edge.
Following this, Ling Tian extended his right hand, his five fingers forming a claw, and directly grasped the opponent's wrist.
The man immediately felt a piercing pain in his wrist. Ling Tian's five fingers seemed to be digging into his flesh, and his wrist bone had been directly snapped by Ling Tian's brute force!
The man cried out in agony. At this moment, Ling Tian's other hand, still in a claw formation, lunged towards the man's throat.
The man's eyes widened in terror, and he quickly turned his head to dodge. Just then, Ling Tian abruptly changed his grip from a claw to an open palm, striking directly at the man's carotid artery.
The man's eyes rolled back, and he fainted!
Ling Tian raised his hand, and the man collapsed to the ground, dropping his saber.
Ling Tian dealt with the man in a flash. While he was indeed an expert, experts were all relative.
Facing a freak like Ling Tian, this man was merely an ordinary person.
However, after finishing off the man, Ling Tian felt a pang of self-reproach. He had been careless just now.
His fourth master, the King of Assassins, Xiang Yuntian, had repeatedly warned Ling Tian that life was full of unexpected events.
No matter how simple a mission was or how meticulously a plan was devised beforehand, the outcome could always be altered by unforeseen circumstances.
As an assassin, if one could not maintain vigilance at all times, they would eventually die from an accident!
This was precisely what had happened to Ling Tian. He had assumed his soporific drug was potent enough to incapacitate everyone present, but he hadn't anticipated that someone might not have eaten!
If the person who had attacked Ling Tian earlier had been an opponent of comparable strength, Ling Tian might have suffered greatly, or even met his demise!
Ling Tian then spent a few more minutes checking each of the fallen individuals one by one, ensuring they were truly unconscious. Only then did he rise and proceed to the second floor via the external iron staircase.
Using a small tool, he easily opened the exterior iron door. Inside the room, four security guards were fast asleep.
Ling Tian approached the vault door. He discovered that although the vault's lock was also a mechanical one, it was far more complex than the lock on the previous vault he had dealt with.
However, this posed no obstacle to Ling Tian. With a flash of thought, professional lock-picking tools appeared in Ling Tian's hand, and he began to operate.
Three minutes later, with a soft click from inside the vault door, the heavy iron gate was opened.
Ling Tian stepped into the vault. The scene inside no longer affected him. Trays on the ground were filled with vast sums of cash. Ling Tian estimated the cash to be nearly five hundred million!
"Haha, I'll take it all!"
