"Alright!"

Hearing Zhao Dahai's words, Li Chenzhou didn't say anything more, simply nodding. He gently placed his Zhanren (battle blade) on the ground and smiled at Zhao Dahai.

"Remember! This is your own choice!"

With that, Li Chenzhou forcefully swiped his hand, pushing the Zhanren (battle blade) towards Zhao Dahai, who was only seven or eight meters away.

Zhao Dahai frowned. He sensed that something was wrong. The feeling of danger in his heart persisted. But the problem was that Li Chenzhou had already pushed his weapon over, and judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to have any other weapons on him.

Most importantly, when they were watching Li Chenzhou fight from upstairs earlier, he had only used this Zhanren (battle blade). Now that he didn't even have a weapon, what else could he use to threaten him?

Thinking of this, Zhao Dahai narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Li Chenzhou. Just as the Zhanren (battle blade) slid to the distance between them and Li Chenzhou, Li Chenzhou suddenly moved, rushing towards his weapon with great speed.

Seeing this, Zhao Dahai actually felt relieved, because this guy was still relying on his weapon after all. Granted, this young kid was quite invincible when he had the weapon, but at least they had seen it.

What he feared most was that Li Chenzhou had other trump cards, because the unknown was the most terrifying.

Although he felt a sense of relief in his heart, Zhao Dahai didn't show it on his face. He grabbed Xiaoya forcefully and sneered,

"Stop! Otherwise..."

Zhao Dahai didn't finish his words, because just as he uttered the word "stop," a cloud of black mist suddenly appeared, enveloping him and everyone around him.

Moreover, Zhao Dahai was certain that he had spoken the subsequent words, but even he himself couldn't hear them. The moment he was enveloped by the black mist, his vision, taste, and hearing all vanished, leaving him completely in a silent and dark environment.

Basically, anyone suddenly entering a dark and silent world would panic, at least for a few seconds, leaving themselves in a state of complete helplessness, even with a blank mind.

Zhao Dahai didn't take that long. After realizing that he couldn't even hear his own voice and couldn't see anything, his first reaction was to clench his fist tightly.

Still there!

The feeling in his hand was still there, and the girl he was holding was still there as well.

Zhao Dahai's mind raced. He remembered that before he lost his sight and hearing, Li Chenzhou was quickly chasing after his weapon, and also rushing towards him.

"It's him!"

Zhao Dahai instantly felt his whole body turn cold. He knew that he had provoked someone he couldn't afford to provoke. He even wished he could turn back time, so he would definitely not have grabbed this girl to threaten that young man.

But now, Zhao Dahai knew, it was all too late. From that young man's eyes, he could see that as long as he had the chance, that guy wouldn't let him go—he would kill him to eliminate future troubles!!!

Thinking of this, a trace of ruthlessness suddenly appeared on Zhao Dahai's face. Then, he violently thrust his hands forward, throwing the little girl he was holding down.

Zhao Dahai could only gamble now, because that guy might already be in front of him, wielding that blade, ready to send him to hell.

Therefore, he could only hope that the importance that guy placed on the girl would outweigh his desire to kill him. That way, he might still be able to survive.

Zhao Dahai won his bet, because the moment he let go, his vision returned, and at the same time, he heard the girl's terrified scream.

He quickly looked forward. The girl's body was falling downwards, and another figure had just rushed out of the atrium railing, chasing after the girl, catching her in mid-air, and then both of them fell downwards together.

Zhao Dahai's face turned pale. He quickly glanced around him. His men were all there, none of them were lost, except that everyone had a look of lingering fear on their faces.

"Let's go!"

Perhaps because of the fear in his heart, Zhao Dahai didn't even dare to stick his head out to see what happened to the people who fell below. He shouted loudly and rushed frantically towards the stairwell he had come from.

Hearing Zhao Dahai's voice, Xiao Lü and Guo Jianyong and the others didn't hesitate at all. They all followed him into the stairwell, and then rushed all the way up, actually making it to the twentieth floor in one breath...

Zhao Dahai's letting go earlier was quite correct, because even if it was just a second or two later, his head would probably have been gone.

The moment he released his hands was also the moment when Li Chenzhou had just grabbed his Zhanren (battle blade), leaned out, preparing to first pull Xiaoya back, and then kill all of Zhao Dahai and his men.

Because Xiaoya was on Li Chenzhou's side, she wasn't affected by the war fog, because Li Chenzhou was afraid that if she suddenly fell into absolute silence and darkness, she would emit that mental shock out of fear.

So when Li Chenzhou reached out, Xiaoya naturally saw it. She was also about to reach out to grab Li Chenzhou's hand when her body suddenly fell!

Xiaoya had seen the bottom before, so she naturally knew what the result would be if she fell down. But now, she could only watch as Li Chenzhou's hand reaching towards her grew farther and farther away.

The fear of death made this little girl, who was only eight years old this year, subconsciously emit a mental shock again, and Li Chenzhou also felt a burst of dizziness in that instant, even his talent ability, the war fog, was instantly interrupted.

Even in the moment he felt dizzy, Li Chenzhou was still looking at Xiaoya. At this height, if Xiaoya fell, his first reaction was...to give up, because even if he rushed up, he might not be able to catch up with Xiaoya, let alone the fact that he himself would definitely be either dead or crippled.

In this world, once seriously injured, it was basically equivalent to death. Even Duan Lei understood that no one would carry a burden!

But whether it was because of the mental shock or not, when Li Chenzhou looked into Xiaoya's eyes, he suddenly remembered her father's entrustment at the time, and also remembered the moment when her mother tore open her own skull with both hands. He also remembered the reliance in Xiaoya's eyes when she looked at him with fear after waking up.

Regardless of whether it was because of his father's instructions, in short, at that time, even Duan Xue was looked at with some fear by Xiaoya, only when looking at Li Chenzhou, her eyes were filled with trust and reliance.

So, Li Chenzhou's body, which was already sticking out of the railing, suddenly moved forward, and with a forceful kick, he rushed towards Xiaoya, who was falling.

When Xiaoya saw Li Chenzhou rushing towards her from above, her originally terrified little face suddenly froze. Then, she showed a sweet smile.

Because she knew that as long as Li Chenzhou came, she wouldn't die, because...dad told him to take care of her, so he must be just like dad...safe!
