Chapter 528

He looked at everything around him, his heart filled with endless emptiness, he realized that even though he survived, he would never be able to escape the shadow and pain this isolated island had brought him.

But he still had one goal, he looked up at the sky, waiting for the dark figure from the very beginning to appear, but suddenly, a black hole appeared in the sky, instantly sucking him inside.

...

Drax looked at the remaining eighteen people in the room, as well as the two evil entities guarding the door, his expression was extremely cold.

"Since you were all able to make it here, it means your hands are covered in blood, don’t act like you’re all innocent."

Hearing Drax’s words, everyone retracted their expressions, turning to glare coldly at him, it was true, just as Drax had said, before coming here, they had all experienced a similar game, they had survived by killing everyone else.

Instantly, everyone in the room spread out, each one looked at the others with vigilance and tension, gripping their daggers tightly.

Adam watched this scene with a furrowed brow, this situation was far more complex than he had imagined, he had originally thought these people were innocent, but it seemed that wasn’t the case, before arriving in this room, they had already experienced this cruel game.

Then he didn’t need to intervene, all he had to do was figure out a way to deal with the evil entity next to him.

"Hehe, kid, how about we cooperate first? You and I are the only cultivators here, dealing with them will be a piece of cake," a scrawny, wretched-looking man walked out from the crowd, he sported a thin mustache and had very small eyes.

"Once these people are dead, we can have a proper fight without anyone disturbing us, otherwise, we might get stabbed in the back, then we would have no one to blame but ourselves."

"No, if you have the guts, all of you come at me together," Drax said directly, without the slightest hesitation.

"Kid, don’t think that just because you know a little magic, you’re amazing, even a fierce tiger can’t withstand a pack of wolves, we all carved our way through paths of blood," the wretched man was somewhat surprised, this youth looked quite smart, why was he acting so recklessly?

"Suit yourself, then I’ll start by killing you," a flash of resolve passed through Drax’s eyes as he charged at the wretched man.

The others hurriedly backed away, they could all sense the strength of both men, let the two tigers fight it out first, they would reap the spoils afterward.

The two immediately engaged in a fierce fight.

Inside the room, the battle erupted in an instant, the air was thick with tension and the stench of blood, Drax and the wretched man darted about, the cold glint of their daggers shining with every strike, every clash was accompanied by the sharp sound of breaking wind, displaying extraordinary agility and combat experience.

Drax’s gaze was exceptionally firm, he knew that in this cruel environment, the slightest hesitation could be fatal, his every attack was precise and ferocious, striving to end the battle as quickly as possible, since so many others still eyed him like prey.

Just as the wretched man had said, their strength was evenly matched, but Drax’s desperate, life-risking fighting style began to make the wretched man struggle.

"Are you out of your mind, kid?! There are still so many people in the room! Are you really going to fight me to the bitter end?!" The wretched man parried an attack and backed up two steps, looking at Drax as if he were a madman.

"I don’t want to hear your nonsense, since we’ve come here, there is no way out," Drax charged forward once more.

"Madman! A complete madman! Hey, the rest of you, don’t just watch the show! Come help! If I die, you’ll be the unlucky ones next!" the wretched man roared.

Yet no one stepped forward, none of them were fools, stepping up now would only turn them into meat shields.

"A bunch of idiots," the wretched man cursed angrily, forced to face Drax alone.

The battle grew more intense within the cramped room, every clash of daggers rang with the ear-piercing sound of metal striking metal, and the air was filled with tension and oppression.

In Drax’s eyes, there was only his opponent, every movement revealed absolute determination and an unyielding spirit, he knew that in this world of slaughter and betrayal, only the strong could survive, he attacked mercilessly, attempting to crush his enemy in one fell swoop.

The wretched man was no pushover either, though his appearance was sleazy, his strength could not be underestimated, relying on rich combat experience and cunning tactics, he tangled with Drax, trying to find an opening to counterattack.

As time passed, both showed signs of exhaustion, but Drax’s willpower only grew firmer, as if driven by an invisible force, while the wretched man began to feel his strength failing, his attacks grew increasingly erratic and his defense more lax.

At this moment, Adam was quietly observing from the sidelines, both individuals were only at the lowest Qi Condensation realm, the wretched man was even slightly higher, yet he was being beaten back continuously.

This was the effect of mindset, the wretched man was constantly thinking about how to survive, while Drax was thinking about how to kill his opponent.

The difference was clear at a glance.

Adam didn’t make a move, nor did he need to, furthermore, he had an intuition that this youth knew far more about this place than anyone else, perhaps he could obtain some useful information from him.

Finally, in a careless flaw, Drax seized the opportunity, he leapt up abruptly, dagger turning into a streak of cold light that pierced straight toward the wretched man’s vitals.

The wretched man widened his eyes in horror, he wanted to dodge, but it was already too late.

With a soft sound, the dagger pierced through his body, he stumbled a few steps and finally collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with indignation and despair.

With his fall, the atmosphere grew even more tense, everyone held their breath, staring fixedly at Drax and Adam, terrified of being next.

However, Drax did not immediately initiate his next move, instead, he stood in place, his gaze sweeping across the crowd like a torch, crimson blood continuously dripped from his dagger onto the floor.
