Huang Xie stopped and turned to look at the person who had spoken to him.
He just narrowed his eyes to look at this person for a bit, without saying a thing.
The way that he remained silent was very off putting to the others who were all waiting for some kind of reaction from Huang Xie.
The longer that he remained silent, the longer they felt the pressure coming from him.
There was a feeling of wanting to say something, but they didn’t say anything in the end as they felt that Huang Xie must be feeling the same pressure as them. All they had to do was maintain their united front to keep that pressure on Huang Xie.
After a long silence, Huang Xie said with a nod, “That’s right.”
The eyes of all the others lit up when they heard this.
They had naturally suspected this, but it was completely different when Huang Xie actually confirmed it. This meant that they could go through with what they had been planning to do.
The one that had spoken before looked at Huang Xie with a smile on his face as he said, “Then how about we work together?”
As he said this, the others in this room nodded in agreement to this.
Huang Xie didn’t answer right away as he looked at the person who had proposed this. As he looked at him, he had his eyes narrowed, almost as if he was trying to see through him.
That person didn’t back down as he looked out into Huang Xie’s eyes.
Finally Huang Xie said, “What do you want?”
That person’s smile became even wider when he heard this before he said, “I’m offering you the chance to work together with us. As long as you help guide us around the traps, we’ll help you find the key to the next task.”
The tone that he said this in made it very clear what he was implying.
Work with us because you have no other choice. If you work with us, we’ll give you a chance to go to the next task.
There was no mention of working together in the next task. They were just basically telling him to listen to them because they outnumbered him.
It was so clear that anyone could hear this.
Xiao Ming, Yu Huang, and Mo Sha all knitted their brows when they heard this. They looked at Huang Xie with concerned looks as they waited to see what he said.
But when they saw that he just remained silent the entire time, Xiao Ming couldn’t take it anymore as she said, “All of you…”
There was more that she wanted to say, but Huang Xie raised his hand to stop her.
Xiao Ming looked at Huang Xie with a confused look, but he was looking at the person who spoke to him.
That person couldn’t help feeling a strange look when they saw him looking at him like this, but he forced himself to have a calm look on his face.
Finally, Huang Xie said, “Alright, I’ll guide you.”
The person that spoke first and everyone else was surprised to hear this.
After all, not a single one of them had expected Huang Xie to fold that easily.
They had thought that he would put up some kind of resistance and they would have to pressure him before he finally agreed to their terms.
However, it wasn’t a bad thing for them if Huang Xie were to fold this suddenly.
It was a very good thing for them since it saved them quite a bit of trouble.
The person who took the lead said, “Alright, then bring me over to you first and then we’ll go from there.”
Huang Xie gave a nod before saying, “Alright, first take three steps forward.”
When they heard this, Xiao Ming, Yu Huang, and Mo Sha couldn’t help revealing disappointed looks. Though there were traces of understanding in their eyes as well as they could understand why Huang Xie would do something like this.
Simply put, it was because it was the safest thing that they could do.
So they decided that they would support Huang Xie no matter what he did.
That person had a wide smile on his face as he started moving forward.
As he stepped forward, he said, “You know, I think that I was wrong about you. It seems like we might be able to get along in the…”
He never got to finish his sentence as when he took his third step, that person realized that something was wrong. There was a sudden burst of spiritual energy that came from beneath him that suddenly wrapped around him.
He looked down to see that it was one of the balls that he had stepped on.
This ball suddenly turned that spiritual energy into lightning that wrapped around him.
As he was being shocked by the lightning, that person looked at Huang Xie and roared, “What did you do?!”
Huang Xie just looked at him with a calm look on his face as he watched this person being shocked by the lightning.
In no time at all, that person’s body had been charred black and they fell to the ground.
Once they fell to the ground, Huang Xie casually walked over to where this charred black corpse now laid and raised his foot. In an equally casual manner, he brought his foot down on the charred black corpse, smashing it to pieces.
There were only a few pieces of charcoal left after he smashed this corpse to pieces.
Huang Xie even twisted his foot a few times before spitting on where that charred black corpse had been. Only after all of this did Huang Xie turn back to look at the rest of the people who were standing there.
When they saw the way that Huang Xie was looking at them, all of them felt a chill run down their spines.
That was because the way that Huang Xie looked at them was as if…he didn’t even see them as humans. He saw them as nothing more than pieces of trash that could be taken out at any moment.
After just silently staring at them for a bit like this, Huang Xie said in a cold voice, “I don’t think you understand the situation you’re in. All of you are thinking too highly of yourselves.”
All of them felt another chill run down their spines when they heard this.
They all had nervous looks on their faces, but one of them still said, “Do you think that you can take all of us on? Do you think that you can finish this without us?”
Huang Xie just gave a casual shrug before saying in the same cold voice, “I would rather try and fail than work with people who are pointing a dagger at my back. So now it’s all about how you want to die.”
Everyone felt another chill run down their spine when they heard this.
After all, they could tell that Huang Xie was being absolutely serious when he said this.
It really seemed like he didn’t care at all if they all died here. Enjoy exclusive adventures from m-v l’-NovelFull.net
But how could he feel this way?
If they were to all die here, then there would only be their group of four to finish the task.
Did he really think that he would be able to do something like that?
One of the people who didn’t believe that Huang Xie would actually do something like this said, “You’re bluffing! You won’t actually do this!”
Huang Xie immediately turned to look at that person before slowly walking over towards them.
When that person saw Huang Xie coming closer, he couldn’t help wanting to take a step back. However, he couldn’t take that step back in the end since he didn’t know what was behind him.
If he were to take that step back and accidentally touch one of the trapped balls…then they would be it for him.
But it wasn’t as if he could just remain here as Huang Xie came closer to him.
When Huang Xie was only a few steps away from him, that person finally broke down and said, “Alright, I’ll listen to you. I’ll do what you say as long as you let me…”
He didn’t get to finish what he was going to say as Huang Xie suddenly pushed him.
He was pushed off balance and fell backwards into the balls that were behind him.
When he landed, the same thing as before happened where there was a burst of spiritual energy that came from beneath him. This burst of spiritual energy suddenly wrapped around him until it became a layer of rocks around him.
No matter how he tried struggling against this layer of rocks, he found that he wasn’t able to break free at all.
In no time at all, this person was completely sealed up inside of these rocks and fell into darkness.
Even though he screamed for help in his final moments, there wasn’t a single person that heard him since his mouth had also been covered in rocks. When he fell, he was no longer a person, but rather a large rock.
Huang Xie once again went over to this large rock and raised his foot before stomping down on it.
This time though, there was blood and flesh that was mixed up with the rocks.
This time, that person wasn’t burned to death but rather suffocated to death by being buried in rocks.
So the corpse was still complete when Huang Xie crushed it.
