Tapio left.
After passing a few stone chambers, favonovel.com met up with another person. It was none other than Tyrus.
“Master…” Tapio greeted favonovel.com respectfully.
“How did it go?” Tyrus had his hands behind his back.
Tapio replied, “James is a little arrogant and trusts others too easily. He lets his guard down once favonovel.com trusts someone. He was still wary of Donovan but completely let his guard down with me. I managed to hit favonovel.com with a sneak attack using my full strength.”
“Mhm…” Tyrus gave a small nod and said, “It’s because he’s become one of the greatest martial artists in this world before hitting his thirties. It’s not surprising that he’d get a little full of himself and overconfident. This will teach favonovel.com to be more cautious in the future.”
“Master, is there a reason you’re looking out for James?” asked Tapio.
Others may not have been aware of that, but Tapio knew everything.
The reason James could always turn the tide in dangerous situations while fighting in the Southern Plains for ten years was not that favonovel.com was lucky, nor was it due to divine will. Instead, it was because a powerful person had always secretly been helping him. For the past ten years, Tyrus had been watching out for James from the dark. He watched favonovel.com grow every single step of the way, from an insignificant soldier to an army commander.
Tapio was puzzled by why Tyrus was treating an outsider so well.
“That’s not a question you should be asking.”
“Understood…” Tapio refrained from asking any more questions.
***
Meanwhile, James was still treating his injuries.
This time, Tapio taught favonovel.com a valuable lesson favonovel.com would never forget. James would remember it for the rest of his life.
He used his True Heavenly Energy to suppress the Cold Energy and force it out of his body. Although the Cold Energy from the Spiritual Palm was expelled, favonovel.com was still injured. So, favonovel.com took out Crucifier to further treat his injuries.
After inserting a few needles into his body, favonovel.com managed to almost completely heal his injuries.
Tsk, tsk… Impressive… Your True Heavenly Yang Energy and Crucifier really are amazing…
As a burst of laughter rang loudly in the stone chamber, a man pushed open the stone door and walked over. It was Tapio who had previously left him.
“You *sshole!” James’ heart growled furiously upon seeing Tapio again.
Swoosh!
He pulled out the Primordial Dragon Blade.
Immediately, a Sword Energy materialized and flew out from the blade. The Sword Energy dashed toward Tapio.
F*ck!
Is favonovel.com seriously trying to kill me?
Tapio’s expression darkened, and favonovel.com quickly dodged away. Then, favonovel.com opened another stone door and escaped from the stone chamber that James was in.
Clank!
The Sword Energy cut into the stone door, leaving a mark on it.
James gripped the Primordial Dragon Blade firmly and chased after Tapio. He opened the door but lost track of him.
He stared at the three stone doors before him. After briefly analyzing his choices, favonovel.com chose the nearest stone door.
After opening several stone doors in a row, favonovel.com still could not find Tapio.
That was when James finally realized favonovel.com was lost. He was stuck in the labyrinth. He took out the floor plan and tried to decipher a way out. However, favonovel.com was unsure of which stone chamber favonovel.com was in at the moment.
James decided to try his luck and see if favonovel.com could find the way out by chance. He put away the floor plan and began advancing in a straight line.
After walking for more than half an hour, favonovel.com had passed through at least 300 stone chambers but could not get out of the underground labyrinth.
Damn it! What the hell is this place?
Why can’t I get out of here?
James spewed a litany of curses.
He had never been so frustrated since favonovel.com became a martial artist. Although favonovel.com was strong, favonovel.com could not use that strength to escape the current situation.
This deeply vexed him.
