Chapter 183 The Third Level of Trial!
King Golden Horn chuckled and explained, "That's right, a test. You must have been sent by the Cheng family to retrieve the elixir left behind by Laozi, right?"
Upon hearing this, Su Fan felt a surge of nervousness, but he maintained a calm demeanor and said:
"That's right, it was Cheng Lin, the current head of the Cheng family, who sent me to retrieve the elixir left behind by Laozi."
The Golden Horned King stroked his chin and nodded:
"Then that's it. Laozi left instructions for us brothers. If the people sent by the Cheng family can't pass the test He left, then we can't take this elixir with us."
After King Golden Horn finished speaking, he looked at King Silver Horn. King Silver Horn, who had been idly waiting, noticed King Golden Horn's gaze and echoed:
"That's right."
King Golden Horn nodded in satisfaction and continued:
"The elixir left behind by Laozi is extremely precious, especially to those who control gods in the mortal realm. Naturally, a test must be set to see if you are qualified to obtain it."
Su Fan nodded calmly after hearing this.
As long as we don't discover they weren't sent by the Cheng family, that's fine.
As for this bullshit test, it doesn't matter.
Su Fan was confident that he could pass the test left by Laozi.
Seeing that Su Fan remained calm and composed, King Golden Horn was filled with admiration.
King Golden Horn then explained the test left behind by Laozi.
"This test is divided into three levels."
"This first trial is called the 'Bewitching Array.' In this 'Bewitching Array,' your deepest fears will appear to confuse your minds. If you can remain clear-headed and escape this array, you will have passed the first level."
"King Golden Horn said."
Su Fan and Yuan Qingsheng exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with determination.
King Golden Horn continued, "As for the second level of the test, you will find out after you pass the first level!"
After saying this, King Golden Horn laughed loudly. With a wave of his hand, a beam of light flashed, and Su Fan and Yuan Qingsheng were placed in a gloomy space.
Su Fan looked around warily, when suddenly, the surrounding space began to change rapidly.
Scenes were quickly sketched out, all within a cozy house.
There was a toddler, about two years old, on the bed in the house. The child was laughing happily and playing around the room without any restraint.
The door was tightly closed.
Looking closely at the child, he looks somewhat like Su Fan when he was a child.
Seeing this scene that suddenly appeared in front of him, Su Fan was stunned and stood there for a long time.
"ah--"
A pitiful cry suddenly pierced the air. The children who were playing were startled by the cry and froze in place.
The scream also woke Su Fan up.
Fear flashed in Su Fan's eyes, and he ran frantically toward the sound of screams.
"Dad, Mom!"
Su Fan opened the door and ran out into the living room, while his heart was filled with frantic prayers.
But as soon as he stepped out of the living room, he saw his parents lying on the ground covered in blood, a horrific sight.
Standing next to his parents was a man dressed in black, completely covered up.
He was carrying a knife in his hand, the knife stained with blood.
Tick!Tick!
Fresh blood dripped from the tip of the knife onto the ground, making a clearly audible sound.
Su Fan stared blankly at the man in black, his eyes empty and lifeless.
It was still too late. Why? Why was it still too late?
The man in black was also startled by Su Fan's sudden appearance.
The man in black reacted, glaring fiercely at Su Fan, and charged forward, brandishing his blood-stained knife.
Su Fan snapped out of his daze, his eyes bloodshot, a fierce and angry expression on his face.
He swung his fist fiercely, divine power imbued in his fist, and the mere force of the punch sent the black-clad man flying.
As an ordinary person, the man in black was no match for Su Fan, a third-tier Divine Master. He fell heavily to the ground, spitting out blood that stained the black cloth covering his face red.
The man in black clutched his chest, barely managing to sit up, and looked at Su Fan with fear in his eyes.
"Monster, monster!"
Shouting, the man in black crawled backward until his back was close to the wall, where he could go no further.
Su Fan stared at him coldly, his gaze as indifferent as if he were looking at a dead man.
In his previous life, it was this man in black who killed his parents, making him an orphan. This was a pain he carried deep in his heart for the rest of his life.
Moreover, because the man in black was skilled in his methods, and because there was no ubiquitous surveillance in China at that time, and because his home was in a remote rural area, the suspect was never found.
Unable to avenge his parents, this became a permanent pain in his heart.
If it weren't for this man in black, he would have had a warm and loving home in his previous life.
Now that his enemy is right in front of him, how could Su Fan let him go?
He walked step by step toward the man in black, each step filled with endless hatred.
Just as he was about to deliver the final blow to the man in black, he suddenly saw the man in black smile.
Su Fan was startled and withdrew his fist.
He suddenly realized that this was a "maze," a test.
It's all an illusion. If he really loses his mind and kills the man in black, then his test will have failed.
A sense of relief flashed through Su Fan's mind.
Fortunately, he saw the man in black's smile, otherwise his trip to Kunlun Mountain would have been in vain.
The man in black's smile froze when he saw Su Fan withdraw his fist.
Su Fan looked at him disdainfully and said, "While I can't kill you, I can certainly beat you up!"
After saying that, Su Fan withdrew his divine power, then picked up his fist, which was the size of a sandbag, and slammed it hard into the face of the man in black.
After beating the man in black for a long time, until he was on the verge of death, Su Fan finally stopped, releasing his pent-up anger.
Su Fan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his gaze had returned to calm.
The surrounding scenery began to distort and dissipate, and he saw Yuan Qingsheng not far away, who had also broken free from the illusion.
But Yuan Qingsheng looked somewhat disheveled, his expression rather gloomy.
Yuan Qingsheng forced himself to stay alert and nodded at Su Fan.
Su Fan looked at Yuan Qingsheng with some concern.
But before Su Fan could say anything to Yuan Qingsheng, the Golden Horn King's voice rang out again:
"Good, you have all passed the first level. Next, it's time for the second level of the test."
