Li Xiu was just about to say sothing when the countdown ended, and the light screen suddenly disappeared, leaving the entire room in complete darkness.
Li Xiu imdiately grabbed the Fei next to him and quickly retreated, leaning directly against the wall.
Although the man said he wouldn’t cause trouble for Li Xiu and Sha Chu, who knows if he was telling the truth.
Even if he was, Li Xiu couldn’t let him harm Fei.
Li Xiu attempted to summon a demon spirit, but failed. In the Trial Ground, demon spirits and contracts couldn’t be used.
"Ah!" A scream of agony echoed in the room, a piercing sound that sent a shiver through everyone’s heart.
Then Li Xiu heard the sound of chaotic footsteps and doors opening and closing repeatedly.
Li Xiu remained still, and Fei behind him didn’t utter a word either.
"Who’s the woman behind you?" The man’s voice spoke again in the darkness; he hadn’t left after all.
"A friend." Li Xiu replied.
"That’s a bit troubleso. I accepted the Gemstone from soone, so I have to do the job for them. It’s one thing for you as a Trial Taker, but she’s not a Trial Taker. If I don’t kill her, it wouldn’t look very professional." The man sighed.
"So?" Li Xiu asked nonchalantly.
"So I hope you can leave here, find another girlfriend once you’re out. This girlfriend of yours isn’t very attractive anyway. With your status as a Trial Taker, finding a better one shouldn’t be hard." The man continued in the darkness, "Ti is short, I have to kill those other people too. I’ll give you three seconds to decide. If you’re still here after I count to three, then I’m sorry, I’ll have no choice but to kill a Trial Taker for an ordinary price."
"No need to count, you can’t kill her." Li Xiu stated.
"Seems like you still don’t understand. Forget it, I hate losing deals. Let put it plainly: you can’t see anything here, but for , this place is no different from outside. You should get it with saying that." The man added.
"Understood."
"Then get going if you understand."
"Alright, then I’m leaving now." After saying that, Li Xiu pulled Fei to leave.
"You’re just asking to die." The man sighed, then, like a ghost, he swiftly approached Li Xiu.
His footsteps were as light as a cat’s, almost inaudible, and in a flash, he was beside Li Xiu, reaching out his fingers to stab at Li Xiu’s eyes.
The man was sowhat wary of Sha Chu. After all, Trial Takers with so many contracts on them were definitely not to be trifled with.
Li Xiu, like him, only had one contract, indicating that Li Xiu hadn’t been a Trial Taker for long and his level shouldn’t be high.
As long as he wasn’t a D-level Trial Taker, in the Dark Maze, the man had full confidence he could kill him.
He possessed the Dark Pupil skill, allowing him to see in the dark, and the Ghost Wind skill, which lightened his body, sped him up, and reduced the sound made when his body touched external objects.
The Dark Maze was a natural stronghold for him, unless the opponent was a Trial Taker more advanced than he was, strong enough to crush him in strength, otherwise, he feared no one here.
"Making money is tough, and I still have to kill a Trial Taker. Once I’m out, they better pay more; I, Ye Yuzhen, don’t do unprofitable business." Ye Yuzhen thought to himself.
As his fingers were about to pierce into Li Xiu’s eyes, Li Xiu was holding Fei with one hand and opening the door with the other, seemingly unaware of the approaching threat.
"So what if you’re a Trial Taker? In the Dark Maze, I, Ye Yuzhen, am the absolute ruler." Just as Ye Yuzhen’s fingers were about to touch Li Xiu’s eyelid, he suddenly felt a great force from his abdon.
Li Xiu’s foot, who knows when, was kicked into Ye Yuzhen’s abdon, sending him stumbling several steps backward, clutching his abdon, and kneeling on the ground with a thud.
The pain made Ye Yuzhen’s whole body tremble, but he bit his lip and didn’t make a sound, then silently rolled to the side.
He couldn’t make a sound, to prevent Li Xiu from hearing it and chasing after him.
But just after he rolled over and raised his head, he saw a fist rapidly enlarging before his eyes.
Bang!
Ye Yuzhen only saw stars before him, and he fell straight back, landing on the ground with another thud.
Ye Yuzhen’s ability to take a hit was indeed sowhat strong; Li Xiu had used all his strength with both a kick and a punch, yet he hadn’t managed to kill Ye Yuzhen.
Even after being punched directly in the face by Li Xiu, as soon as he hit the ground, he imdiately flipped backwards, rolling away from Li Xiu.
Li Xiu didn’t have night vision abilities, but as long as he could hear a little sound, he could judge the trajectories of all movents, almost like seeing them.
Seeing how tough Ye Yuzhen was, if he continued to entangle with him, it would probably take so ti to finish him off.
The clear ti in the Dark Maze was only half an hour, and being here for the first ti, he didn’t know how long it would take to get out. Li Xiu didn’t have ti to waste on him, so he pulled Fei through a door and rushed out.
Li Xiu’s move made Ye Yuzhen certain that Li Xiu couldn’t see him, but was judging his position by sound.
"As long as you can’t see, that’s fine." Ye Yuzhen wiped the blood off his face, enduring the pain on his face and abdon, and pushed the door to pursue.
Li Xiu pulled Fei straight forward, passing through door after door, until they reached the seventeenth room, when Li Xiu discovered that there was no door ahead anymore, just a wall he could touch.
So Li Xiu changed direction, groping along the left wall, but found no door there either.
"Looks like the only way is to go right." Li Xiu continued to the right with Fei, and sure enough, found a door on the right wall.
As soon as Li Xiu pushed the door open, he heard breathing inside the room.
"Sothing’s not right... This sound... isn’t human breathing..." While Li Xiu listened carefully, he pulled Fei back, intending to exit the room and return to the previous room.
