Chapter 280 - Connection Between Strangers

It was dark in Su Ci Yi's current place. Although, it was cold and freezing, yet Su Ci Yi could still manage. She had her inner core and this type of cold wouldn't affect her.

However, when she jolted up earlier, her back leaned on the glossy and slick wet wall.

Su Ci Yi turned her head only to see piles of bones line up and frozen in a big ice wall.

The bones still maintained their whitish glow and even though it's dark, she could see it clearly. Almost all the pile of bones consist of skulls and vertebrae.

Su Ci Yi felt a bone-chilling sensation down to her spine.

What is this place that she had come?

"Are you afraid?"

Soon, a hand reach over Su Ci Yi's face. How did he come to her without her noticing? He skillfully just appeared on her face. A portion of Su Ci Yu's chest felt throbbed. Who is this man?

Looking at the dark and gloomy eyes. The long flickering sword-like eyebrows fluttered. A brazen and glittering long hair that almost reached his waist, flowed like a river. Aside from that, he had a loose black robe pattern with a black roaring lion, Su Ci Yi can't determine which sect did he came.

But she knew that he didn't belong to the righteous one, but those with dark practices.

That was what she thought.

"Hmm?"

The man seemed irritated at her uninterested emotions. Therefore, he grabbed her neck violently and tightly hold it until she was running after her breath. Su Ci Yi summoned her sword, flicked it in front, and directly slash it to the man.

The man already noticed it and swung it the other way around.

Su Ci Yi saw her chance and pull a hidden dagger inside her robe, turn upside down and slash to the front. The tip of her dagger slowly reached his chin, and the man stepped back.

With an astonish looked in his face, he licked the blood that oozed on it.

He grumbled unto himself. Laugh at his stead like there wasn't someone in front of him.

He was laughing. Laughing like crazy. His eyes started to become bloodshot. Dark and sinister.

Su Ci Yi saw her chance.

Go now when he's still not looking. 

However, the moment she stepped in, the man's laughter vanished. And accompanied by it, is the usual deep and dark tone he emitted to his preys.

"Where do you think you are going?"

Su Ci Yi was frozen in her standing.

" I-"

"You can't go out here. Unless I allowed it."

Su Ci Yi didn't let him finish. She already dashed forward at a lightning speed. If there's a will, there's a way. How could she let herself be trapped here?

After a day of running back and forth. Su Ci Yi came back in the same place. It was the place that she first landed. Ice cold wall. Dark and eerie. Bones and bones stuck to each other. Even there's a fog that she could feel surrounding the air. 

Su Ci Yi huffed in exhaustion. 

It's useless at all. 

Even if she tried to run in circles, she always ended up in a single point. What is the point of running away, anyway? When the man in front of her had no intention of letting her go.

"Are you tired?" The man asked as if feeling bored with his situation.

Here he goes again. His usual chatting for the sake to pass time. If he is bored, why won't he get out outside? Cooping here, if not for cultivating surely is so boring.

Su Ci Yi became vigilant.

" You don't need to raise your guard against me. When I first woke up, the energy that I first felt is yours. I have a haunch that we have a connection somehow. So for now, while I am trying to decide what will be your position here, I need to confine you right beside me.

Confine he says, but it's more like imprisonment.

"Ah, and I don't have anyone around to talk with. So I need someone alive beside me."

" Oops, I forgot that you are a mute one. You not need to feel offended about it. I'll just talk and you listen. I am a good citizen that respects the PWD's and the elderly. Don't think too much about it.

Su Ci Yi, "..."

So talkative.

If this man had a meter radar on his mouth, surely her bills would have skyrocketed.

Swish!

Su Ci Yi's sword flew away from her, when she looked up, the man had already summoned it into his hands. Right now, he was sitting on the ground. With his legs cramped open while scrutinizing the sword in his hand.

" Is this your energy core? Basically, you are in your latent stage of Divine Spirit. Not bad, seeing you are still so young."

"How come I feel a sense of familiarity with your core?"

"Did we met somewhere?"

"Strange..."

The man consecutively muttered in his position. Nevertheless, he asked without the intention of getting her answers. He began to fiddle her sword again, seemingly forgotten her presence.

Su Ci Yi had no time to mind this psychopath. She began to close her eyes. Right now, there is nothing that will help in the situation but to remain calm about her current scenario.

Su Ci Yi hadn't had known what this person's cultivation level is. However, she knew that he is someone that one couldn't make trivial into. He's too dangerous. Too dangerous. 

If Su Ci Yi wanted to make it out alive, although her pride won't allow it, but her survival instinct says that she needed to follow him for a while.

Time passed by.

But the two people remained vigilant with each other. One was curious about the other's mysterious sense of familiarity while the other was vigilant of her life. 

One was fiddling with his sword, while the other was meditating.

One had a leisure aura like a kid playing for his toy while the other looked like a bored babysitter!
