Chapter 228

"Who's there!"

Yuanfei Zhijie stared at the darkness ahead suspiciously, asking abruptly.

It looked empty, nothing to be seen, let alone any person.

However, as a master of Ninjutsu in the Xuri Empire, he specialized in assassination, stealth, and ambush. Many times, his targets were killed without ever realizing his presence.

That's why Yuanfei Zhijie knew very well, just because you can't see something doesn't mean it isn't there.

Especially since he was a Nascent Soul Realm expert who cultivated the Hidden Killing Skill, his perception of things hidden in the dark was extremely acute.

Just now, in the seemingly empty darkness, he sensed a faint hint of killing intent.

Perhaps if he had taken one more step forward, that killing intent would have fully erupted.

But that killing intent was incredibly well-concealed, something that even cultivators at the top level of the Nascent Soul Realm may not notice, let alone him.
