Chapter 996: Chapter 608: Passed
As Liu Hun continued his massacre, time ticked away, and eventually, Liu Hun’s eyes turned a deep blood-red, his whole being resembling an incredibly terrifying fierce beast.
Moreover, during this process, Liu Hun didn’t even care how severe his injuries were, each strike claiming the life of a fierce beast.
After an entire hour, Liu Hun finally slaughtered all the fierce beasts in the scene. At this moment, he was drenched in scarlet blood from head to toe, indistinguishable whether it was the beast’s blood or his own.
He stood like a god of slaughter on that narrow piece of ground, his somewhat tattered clothes fluttering in the wind, while the onlookers around gazed at this scene in terror, seemingly afraid of disturbing this guy.
Initially, the crowd had been aggressive, but at this moment, no one dared to utter a word.
What a joke, they weren’t fools. Faced with the scene just now, they knew very well that cutting down so many fierce beasts alone was not something a common person could do. Indeed, Liu Hun was a monster.
Confronted with such a monster, if they still wanted to trouble Liu Hun, they would be courting death.
Liu Hun’s slightly blood-red eyes swept over the people in the scene, and after a moment, he said in a deep voice, “If you leave now, you might live a little longer, otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless later!”
Although Liu Hun’s voice wasn’t loud, it fell into the crowd’s ears like a demon from the Nine Nether, causing them to shiver. For a moment, they were at a loss for what to do.
According to their beginner’s guide, if they couldn’t kill Liu Hun and Xue Lan, the danger they would face next would be dozens of times more terrifying than before. Naturally, this was not the outcome they wanted to see.
But if they stayed now, considering Liu Hun’s terrifying strength shown just now, they would just be delivering themselves to him on a platter.
Thinking of this, everyone’s expressions turned somewhat unpleasant.
Gritting his teeth, one person reluctantly said, “Let’s go!”
With one person taking the lead, the rest seemed to find their backbone and followed this guy out one by one.
Watching the backs of the disappearing crowd, Liu Hun’s body cast a long shadow under the setting sun, making him look imposing yet somewhat tragic.
His body staggered, and Liu Hun fell headlong to the ground, blacking out and falling into a coma.
Liu Hun was not some kind soul; since these people wanted to trouble him, he wouldn’t spare them. But his body was too weak just now. If he forced himself to kill them, and showed even a slight flaw, he believed these guys would swarm like mad dogs and tear him and Xue Lan apart.
So Liu Hun could only hold on and let them off this time.
“Liu Hun!” Xue Lan, not far away, saw Liu Hun tumbling to the ground and worry immediately rose on her pale face. Without any hesitation, she quickly jogged over to him.
After arriving in front of Liu Hun, Xue Lan carefully examined his body and found that he was only suffering from excessive blood loss. If his wounds could be bandaged in time, Liu Hun would soon wake up.
At this, Xue Lan couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief; previously, due to her sister’s situation, Xue Lan knew how to handle some simple injuries.
So she quickly found some herbs in the forest, chewed them up, and applied them to Liu Hun’s wounds.
After doing all this, Xue Lan gritted her teeth, then lifted Liu Hun from the ground and headed towards the mountain peak ahead.
If they stayed here, no one could predict whether those people would return; when a person reaches a moment of despair, they can do anything, something Xue Lan knew very well. So she dared not leave Liu Hun here.
Although she too was injured, Xue Lan gritted her teeth and endured.
The peak, though not very high, left Xue Lan thoroughly exhausted when she finally carried Liu Hun to the top. She collapsed to the ground, extremely fatigued.
Not far away stood the figure of Zhang Fan, standing dazed with his back to them, seemingly unaware of their presence.
After taking a few deep breaths of fresh air, Xue Lan, carrying a hint of puzzlement, called out to Zhang Fan.
As Xue Lan’s voice fell, Zhang Fan murmured again, “There’s nothing here… nothing at all…”
Hearing Zhang Fan’s words, Xue Lan’s brows furrowed slightly before she swept her gaze around. Indeed, as Zhang Fan said, except for this small piece of land, there was nothing else around the peak.
The entire ground was covered with fallen leaves, and upon seeing this, Xue Lan’s expression slightly changed.
If nothing came of this, then everything they had done before would have been for naught, and now with Liu Hun in a coma, she had no confidence at all and didn’t know what to do.
“We can never get out, we’ll never get out…” Just as Xue Lan was mulling over this in her mind, Zhang Fan suddenly turned around, looked at her, and mumbled lifelessly.
He didn’t say a word of concern for Liu Hun, who lay unconscious on the ground.
Seeing Zhang Fan’s behavior, a surge of anger suddenly rose in Xue Lan’s heart. Although she hadn’t known Liu Hun for long, in just these few days, she gradually realized that Liu Hun was not the person she had thought he was.
“Zhang Fan, I may not know the reason for this, but I know that if someone else can leave this place alive, then there must be a way out. And now Liu Hun lies severely injured and unconscious because he was saving you, and you’re now planning to give up? Can you live with that? If you don’t want to leave here alive, then don’t drag me and Liu Hun down. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t be in our current predicament.” Xue Lan didn’t know Zhang Fan, so she didn’t care about his thoughts; she was just venting her anger.
Back at the Xue Family, she had never endured such grievances; although now she was in an embarrassing state, she had no regrets. However, to Xue Lan, what she despised most was the way Zhang Fan was giving up.
“If it were Liu Hun in your place, I don’t know about anything else, but I know he would never let you die here!” Xue Lan concluded with boundless disappointment, mocking Zhang Fan.
After speaking, she ignored Zhang Fan, sat back down, took a deep breath, circulated the energy in her body, and began to tend to Liu Hun’s injuries.
Zhang Fan, who was previously in a daze, finally showed some emotion in his eyes after Xue Lan’s words. Seeing Liu Hun covered in blood and in a dire state, Zhang Fan gently closed his eyes.
“That’s right, if it were the boss, he would never give up like I did, and the boss and sister-in-law’s current plight is all because of me. Even if I die here, I can’t let them die here!” Zhang Fan murmured to himself.
With these words in his mind, Zhang Fan, with closed eyes, began to reflect on everything he had gone through since entering this test of death.
Logically, since the beginner’s guide indicated that this is the final destination, there shouldn’t be any mistake.
He hadn’t found the way out yet, perhaps simply because he hadn’t found it.
As Zhang Fan pondered intensely, in the air around him, white lights hovered continuously.
And none of the three of them noticed these lights in the scene.
The white lights continuously merged into Zhang Fan’s body, with a small portion of the power seeping into Liu Hun’s body.
“Crack…” As Zhang Fan was engrossed in thought, a sharp pain suddenly surged throughout his body.
The next moment, his body collapsed heavily to the ground, curling up and trembling uncontrollably, emitting clear sounds from time to time.
At that moment, Zhang Fan wanted to scream out in agony, but no matter how hard he tried, it was to no avail.
In just a moment, blood started to trickle from his orifices.
After an indeterminate amount of time, the sky gradually lightened, and Liu Hun slowly opened his eyes. Seeing the massive tree in front of him and Zhang Fan and Xue Lan cultivating with eyes closed, Liu Hun couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.
“This… this is…” Liu Hun looked at the towering tree before him, his pupils slightly contracting, taking a deep breath, with an expression of surprise involuntarily showing on his face.
“You’re awake.” As Liu Hun was in shock, a quiet voice suddenly came from behind him.
Upon hearing the voice, Liu Hun instinctively turned around to face the elderly man in white robes, leaving him stunned once again.
“Is this all an illusion?” Liu Hun asked in a deep voice, looking at the elder before him.
“He has already passed the test, so naturally you can leave the trial of death, and both of them are fine, they just need to rest for a while,” the elder said with a slight smile to Liu Hun.
Seeing the smiling old face of the elder, a shade of wariness rose in Liu Hun’s heart. His instincts told him this old fellow had ulterior motives, but at this moment, Liu Hun wouldn’t speak out.
Otherwise, if this old fellow threw them back in, it would be difficult for Liu Hun and the others to get out for the rest of their lives.
