Upon hearing Fang Xiu's words, everyone immediately began to pay attention to their own shadows, and when they saw the Shadow Demon approaching, they quickly dodged.
As expected, they did not suffer the terrifying attack they had experienced before.
However, the crisis is not over yet. Even knowing the killing patterns of the Shadow Demons, there is still a risk of death, because these two monsters can teleport. They seem to move slowly, but they can teleport at random times.
If you happen to teleport into someone's shadow, there's no way to escape; you're doomed.
If they still had the strength, they could try to fight back, but now they are just ordinary people.
"Let's go." Fang Xiu calmly gave the order, then turned and left with Yang Ming and the others without looking back.
Lu Ziming watched their departing figures, his eyes flickering.
"Follow Fang Xiu! He must have spent a lot of money buying information from pawnshops during this time; he definitely knows the way out!"
So the group began to flee frantically, trying to avoid the Shadow Demon.
The Shadow Stalker can cause death by stepping on shadows, and then another Shadow Stalker will split off from the dead person's body. So, too many people must not die, otherwise, the Shadow Stalkers will be chasing after everyone in the house, and everyone will die.
Even Fang Xiu was no exception.
Because Fang Xiu was unable to use any of his abilities in the Zhou residence, including his wife's ability to become invisible.
This doesn't mean that the status of the forbidden spirit is higher than that of the wife, but rather that the use of spiritual power is required to perform the illusion.
Currently, everyone's spirituality is sealed, therefore Fang Xiu is unable to use the ethereal transformation.
Unless he entered in a holographic state, which is not advisable, as while holographic entry may seem invincible, it prevents interaction with reality and the ability to perform any actions.
In short, it's not that the wife is incompetent, but that Fang Xiu is incompetent.
Soon, the group shook off the Shadow Demon and arrived at a spacious courtyard. This courtyard had only one path, which was very deep and extended into endless darkness.
It looks quite creepy, making people hesitate to go in.
No one naively believed that the only strange creature in the entire Zhou mansion was the Shadow-Stepping Ghost.
"Fang Xiu, you must have gotten a lot of information from the pawnshop, right? Quickly tell us where the passage to the outside world is!" Lu Ziming suddenly said.
Fang Xiu silently turned around and calmly gazed at Lu Ziming. His eyes, as still as water, seemed to be stained by the endless darkness around him, making them indescribably deep.
Before he could speak, Yang Ming jumped out from the side.
"How dare you speak to Brother Hugh like that! I haven't even settled the score with you for stealing the keys, and now you have the nerve to ask how to leave!"
Lu Ziming sneered, looking at Yang Ming and the others with a mocking expression.
"Do you still think this is the outside world? There's no such thing as a gluttonous army here. Everyone is just an ordinary person. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Now that the situation has reversed, you're the ones who should be afraid!
We have eight people, while you only have six, two of whom are women. If it really came down to a fight, could you possibly win?
Upon hearing this, Yang Ming immediately flew into a rage, rolled up his sleeves, and was ready to get to work.
"Damn! When it comes to fighting, I've never been afraid. I'm known as the King of Street Fights. Go to Green Vine City and ask around on Yuhua Academy Street, find out who's the boss!"
Lu Ziming completely ignored Yang Ming and stared straight at Fang Xiu.
"Fang Xiu, you are a smart man and should be able to see the situation clearly. You are currently at a significant disadvantage. But don't worry, as long as you cooperate obediently, I will not take action against you. After all, there are strange things about the Zhou family, and now is not the time for infighting."
Fang Xiu shook his head and said indifferently, "It's a pity you're not a smart person. If you were smart enough, you would understand that threatening me is the stupidest decision you've ever made."
Lu Ziming's face immediately darkened.
"Fang Xiu, don't be so stubborn! It seems you need to be taught a lesson..."
Before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed. Not only him, but everyone present, except Fang Xiu, changed color.
It was only because the sound of leather shoes clicking again came from not far away.
"Oh no, that damned monster caught up with us so quickly!"
"Let's run!"
"Run!" Lu Ziming turned and ran without hesitation.
When one lacks spirituality, confronting the supernatural is undoubtedly the most foolish choice.
Just as he was about to run, a whooshing sound came from the air.
Whoosh!
A silver glint pierced the night sky!
It was Fang Xiu's scalpel.
Lu Ziming was instantly shocked and furious. He hadn't expected Fang Xiu to make his move at this time.
He suddenly exerted force with his feet and retreated rapidly.
However, it was too late; a splash of blood bloomed on his cheek.
"Are you insane!" Lu Ziming roared. "The strange creature is about to catch up, and you actually made a move at this moment? Do you want to die together with it?!"
Fang Xiu remained calm, unmoved even as the sound of his heavy leather shoes hitting the ground grew closer.
"I've said it before, threatening me is the stupidest decision you've ever made."
Fang Xiu lowered his body, his entire being moving forward like a ghost, the scalpel in his hand drawing a graceful arc in the night sky.
"Madman!" Lu Ziming was terrified. The clattering footsteps sounded like a death knell from hell. He had no desire to fight Fang Xiu anymore; he just wanted to escape as quickly as possible.
When he unleashed his formidable physical prowess, he was shocked to discover that Fang Xiu's speed was in no way inferior to his own, and was even faster.
Lu Ziming's path was blocked.
At this moment, two dark figures appeared out of thin air in the arena; they were none other than the Shadow Steppers!
A body made of shadows, wearing worn-out, oversized leather shoes, slowly strolled around the field.
