Li Xiu dismounted from the Pink Nightmare, and Sha Chu, who was sitting on the Pink Nightmare, suddenly drew her knife and slashed at Li Xiu on the ground.
Throughout the journey, she hadn’t made any moves and had even told Li Xiu so many things, answering almost every question, all to wait for the mont when Li Xiu was most relaxed.
The mont a person is about to reach their destination is when they are most likely to let their guard down.
In ancient tis, street perforrs who walked tightropes mostly died between the last three steps.
Sha Chu chose to strike at this ti, aiming for a sure hit, absolutely not giving Li Xiu a chance to retaliate.
Sha Chu’s knife was fast. She was a D-Class Trial Taker, with strength comparable to a D-Class Demon Spirit. Her power and speed were far above Li Xiu’s.
Even if it wasn’t a sneak attack, even if Li Xiu saw her draw the knife, it would be too late to react, let alone the knife being enchanted, with Demonic Light on the blade like a sharp glare.
As long as this knife hit, even a body of steel would be cut in two.
As Sha Chu watched her knife about to strike Li Xiu, she suddenly saw a faint, flickering blue light appear in her vision, a crystal-clear Blue Diamond Greatsword, blocking her knife.
Clang!
The clash of knife and sword caused Sha Chu’s body to be thrown from the back of the Pink Nightmare, while Demigod Shana stood unmoving in front of Li Xiu.
Even though Sha Chu’s rank was higher than Demigod Shana’s, her strength still couldn’t compare to Demigod Shana’s.
Li Xiu turned his head to glance at Sha Chu, who had fallen to the ground, and said indifferently: "It seems your cultivation is not enough. If it were , I would act after releasing Xin Guan."
"You’ve won. You can say whatever you want. Kill if you choose; spare the nonsense." Sha Chu was resigned to death.
"Did I say I would kill you?" Li Xiu said flatly.
"Aren’t you afraid I’ll try to kill you again if you don’t kill ?" Sha Chu was slightly stunned, ask with a complicated expression.
"You can’t kill . Unless you have overwhelming absolute power, no matter how many chances you get, you won’t be able to kill ." Li Xiu said as he walked into the cave: "If you’re dissatisfied, you can keep trying to kill ; I’ll give you the opportunity."
Sha Chu bit her lip, feeling greatly insulted. Li Xiu’s words clearly implied that, on the sa starting line, Sha Chu was nothing but trash.
Although Sha Chu was indignant, she had nothing to say, for she indeed had failed.
Sha Chu gritted her teeth and followed inside. She didn’t believe Li Xiu could always be on guard. She just needed one chance, with Li Xiu’s physical condition, one cut would suffice.
"Open the door," Li Xiu said to the stone wall in front of him.
"Have you thought it through? Releasing Xin Guan makes you a mortal enemy of Changshengtian, with no way back."
"Can we not make our communication so exhausting? I speak, you act," Li Xiu said indifferently.
Sha Chu said nothing more, fumbling for a mont on the stone wall, which then slid aside, revealing the stone chamber behind it.
Without a word from Li Xiu, Sha Chu automatically walked in, fully aware that Li Xiu wouldn’t allow her to stay behind.
Li Xiu’s Pink Nightmare and Knight of Chrysanthemum guarded outside, while he himself entered the stone chamber with Jedi Knight and Demigod Shana following Sha Chu.
"Old officer, I’ve co to get you out," Li Xiu said with a smile, looking at Xin Guan inside the iron cage.
"How did you..." Xin Guan saw Li Xiu and Sha Chu coming together, and Sha Chu’s clothes were in tatters, leaving him montarily stupefied.
Even though Li Xiu had the Radiant Demon Spirit, his level was still too low. How could he possibly subdue Sha Chu? After all, Sha Chu had an S-Class Demon Spirit.
"Let’s talk after you’re out. Where’s the key?" Li Xiu looked at Sha Chu beside him.
"Do you think a prison guard like could have the key?" Sha Chu said mockingly.
"Even without a key, it’s fine." Li Xiu ordered the Jedi Knight to cut the iron cage, but the Jedi Knight’s blade left not a single mark on it.
"Don’t waste your strength. This is made from materials of an S-Class Demon Spirit; unless you have an S-Class Demon Spirit, you can’t break it. You don’t need to rescue ; just rember what I entrusted you with," Xin Guan said with a smile.
Li Xiu coming back to rescue him already gave Xin Guan a unique feeling inside.
"How do you know without trying?" Li Xiu had Demigod Shana attempt to cut the iron cage again.
Demigod Shana’s greatsword, glowing blue, struck the iron cage, again unable to leave a mark. The gap between E-class and S-class was still too vast.
Even strong as Demigod Shana, it couldn’t damage the body of an S-Class Demon Spirit.
"It’s useless; if it were A-Class or B-Class, maybe. Now his level is too low," Xin Guan said with a bitter smile.
"I do have a B-Class Demon Spirit," Li Xiu called the Pink Nightmare inside.
"You kid... just for a stroll outside, where did you pick up a B-Class Shining Demon Spirit? That’s an absurdly good stroke of luck!" Seeing the Pink Nightmare, Xin Guan was both surprised and delighted, easily recognizing it as a Shining Demon Spirit.
Others struggle fiercely just to obtain a single Demon Spirit, and Li Xiu, in just two days, had obtained yet another, and a B-Class Shining at that, astonishing Xin Guan.
"No need to worry about where it ca from; as long as it can get you out," Li Xiu had the Pink Nightmare set to destroying the iron cage.
The Pink Nightmare withdrew a distance, all four legs exerting force, with pink light flowing over its body, and its unicorn horn, charged with pink lightning, slamd into the iron bars of the cage ferociously.
