Chapter 1643
The two decided to return to the starting point.
However, they failed to reach the labyrinth’s starting point even after passing through several stone chambers.
"This is strange.I don’t remember going past so many stone chambers when we first entered this place.I’m
following the direction we traveled earlier, so how is this happening?" Tapio said solemnly, "The labyrinth seems to
be playing tricks with our psyche. It only seemed like we were returning through the same path, but we’re actually
going deeper inside."
"Then, which stone chamber are we at right now?"
James took out the floor plan and tried to identify their location.
Tapio shrugged and said, "How would I know?"
"What should we do?" Tapio racked his brains for a plan.
"I know!"
Tapio shouted out of the blue.

James looked at him in confusion.
Tapio walked toward James.
Then, he whispered, "James..."
James paid close attention to his words.
Suddenly, Tapio thrust his palm at James’ chest.
Tapio had ascended the third stair and attacked with all his force.
James let his guard down because he never thought that Tapio would attack him.
Therefore, he was unprepared for the sudden attack.His body was sent flying and it crashed into a stone wall.Then,
he fell to the ground.
Hurk! He choked out a mouthful of blood.
"You..."
James pointed at Tapio.He wanted to speak but his body was wracked with pain the moment he attempted to open
his mouth to speak.
He immediately put himself into a lotus position and circulated his True Energy to suppress the turbulent Blood
Energy in his body.
At the same time, he glared viciously at Tapio standing a short distance away from him.
"You're careless, James.Shouldn’t you know by now not to trust anybody in the ancient martial world?"
Tapio’s lips curled into a faint smile.James’ heart seethed with anger.He trusted Tapio because he was Delainey’s
brother.
Although they had fought once at Mt.Thunder Pass, they did not go all out.
Ultimately, Tapio conceded defeat and left.He never expected Tapio to sneakily attack him like this.
At that moment, Cold Energy spread throughout his body like poison.
James could not expel it from his body and it was rapidly destroying the cells in his body.
James had temporarily lost his ability to fight.
Tapio walked toward James and picked up the sword on the ground.
"What an incredible sword..."
As soon as he picked up the sword, a tremendous force swelled from the blade and blasted him away.He quickly

The sword had burned his skin on contact.
"What an interesting sword...," he murmured.
James glared at Tapio and asked, "Why did you attack me? What are you trying to achieve?"
He was trying to buy time because his body had been severely injured.
If Tapio, attacked again, James would not be able to survive it.A few minutes was enough for him to close up his
injuries.
Although he might be incapable of killing Tapio while fighting in an injured state, he was confident he would be able
to escape.
Tapio glanced at James and said calmly, "There really isn’t a reason.I simply wanted to teach you not to trust
anyone from the ancient martial world.Regardless of the situation, you must stay on your guard.That’s all.You're on
your own from here on out.I’m getting out of here."
After Tapio finished speaking, he turned away and departed.He did not bother with James, nor did he care about the
Primordial Dragon Blade on the ground.
James looked on in confusion.
"He simply wanted to teach me not to trust anyone?" He was puzzled by Tapio’s sudden behavior.
