Chapter 954: Opposing Worlds (49)
In the shadow at the end of the corridor, a man stood there quietly. He was tightly wrapped in black clothes and a hat, as if he had merged with the darkness. Only his overly pale face was vaguely visible in the dim light, revealing a strange aura.
The air around them seemed to grow heavier with his presence, a cold, vague aura of decay and death permeating the air. The man's eyes were hollow and crimson, fixed on Tian Jie, who emerged from the conference room not far away.
Tian Jie walked to the elevator and pressed the button. With a crisp and pleasant "ding" sound, the elevator door slowly opened. He stepped into the elevator. The metal door slowly closed after he turned around, making a slight friction sound.
Just as the elevator door was about to close completely, the man in black suddenly moved. In just one second, he appeared in front of the elevator like a ghost. He dodged to the side and nimbly slipped into the closing elevator door.
Tian Jie's heart tightened and his brows couldn't help but frown slightly.
He stared warily at the man in black who suddenly broke in front of him. He saw that the man was tall, but his black outfit covered him tightly. The man turned his back as soon as he came in, so his true face could not be seen.
Tian Jie stared at the back of the man in black vigilantly, took a small step back silently, kept a certain distance from him, and kept an eye on his every move to prevent him from making a sudden attack.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, the man in black suddenly turned. His eerie, crimson eyes were particularly eerie, revealing a chilling murderous intent. His bony hand, veins bulging, reached straight for Tian Jie's throat. The strike was swift, precise, and ruthless, without the slightest hesitation, carrying an eerie, deathly aura, as if to instantly kill Tian Jie.
The elevator door closed completely behind the man in black, and finally made a muffled "bang", completely isolating this sudden killing from the outside world.
Tian Jie's reaction was also very fast. He jerked his head back and avoided the fatal blow from the man in black. At the same time, he slammed his knee into the man in black's abdomen and slammed his elbow into the man in black's temple. This series of movements was as smooth as flowing water, done in one go without any delay. His speed and strength were not inferior to the man in black.
Just when Tian Jie was about to press on and deliver a more fatal blow to the man in black, he suddenly felt an irresistible force like an invisible hand, tightly gripping his body and making him stand stiffly in place.
Tian Jie was shocked and tried desperately to break free from the restraint of this force, but he found that his body was completely out of control. He could only watch as his fierce killing move froze in the air and could not continue to perform.
At this moment, he saw a hint of pride and success in the black-clothed man's scarlet eyes. A strange smile appeared on his pale face, as if mocking his powerlessness and stupidity, and seemed to say to him: You have finally waited until this day, go to hell!
Tian Jie struggled desperately, but his body was fixed and he couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried.
The elevator continued to rise and never reached the top floor. For some reason, he always felt that the people on the top floor would definitely save him after seeing this scene.
Could this man in black be the one they were waiting for?
He has persisted for so long in order to survive. Is he really going to die here today?
Just as a pitch-black dagger with a white glow suddenly appeared in the black-clad man's hand and was about to pierce his carotid artery, there was a loud "bang" and the elevator roof was suddenly opened by a powerful force.
Immediately afterwards, Xing Rong's figure descended from the sky and landed steadily in the elevator. With just two fingers of her slender jade hand, she easily deflected the dagger from the man in black.
