Chapter 193: Chapter 142, Kunlun Blood Realm! _2

King Yan didn’t stop, slashing his sword at Tang Fei and his comrades once more.

He wanted to teach these unruly bastards a good lesson.

"Kill him!"

Tang Fei jumped out from a nearby ditch, his body soaring into the air, and with both hands gripping his sword, he chopped towards the top of King Yan’s head.

Phoenix wasn’t idle either; to coordinate with Tang Fei’s attack, she fiercely lashed her long whip towards King Yan’s body.

She intended to use the whip to bind his arms, preventing him from retaliating, leaving him defenseless to Tang Fei’s decapitating blow...

"Trifling tricks."

King Yan waved the Rebel Official Pen in the air, and countless mighty needles flew towards both Tang Fei and Phoenix.

Dense and overwhelming.

If they were to hit, Tang Fei and Phoenix would instantly become hedgehogs.

"Be careful." Tang Fei’s body rapidly retreated, his Yin Yang Qi overflowing, thoroughly shielding his body.

Meanwhile, the sword in his hand moved tightly, batting away the wolf-like silver needles.

Phoenix’s body suddenly turned golden, as if a layer of golden flames were burning on the surface.

Then she punched out, her golden energy incinerating all the incoming mighty needles...

"The Nirvana Sutra!"

This was also one of the Royal Family’s ultimate skills.

Tang Fei looked over in surprise; he had never fought with Phoenix before, so he didn’t know her true strength.

Now, it seemed she had hidden a lot from him as well.

Fortunately, he had some secrets of his own, not a total loss...

Tang Fei and Phoenix were both shaken by King Yan’s terrifying ability as he defeated them with a single move.

Seeing the others still dodging around, coldly observing.

They still harbored the mentality of waiting for an easy opportunity...

Tang Fei shouted, "Either we all unite to take down King Yan, or we get taken down one by one..."

"If we die, you won’t survive either..."

"Let’s go." Someone shouted.

Their swords flickered, then charged towards King Yan.

"Everyone, together."

"Kill King Yan."

------

Under Tang Fei’s encouragement, the remaining twenty-some assessment students rushed towards King Yan together.

Each unleashed their own moves, displaying their movement techniques in a surrounding formation.

King Yan, facing many opponents alone, wasn’t at a disadvantage.

"You little bastards...you all..."

"Must die..."

King Yan ceaselessly waved the Rebel Official Pen in the air, drawing various demons to aid him in battle.

Tang Fei approached Phoenix, whispering, "Use your whip to divert his attention, it would be even better if you could bind his body..."

"I know what to do." Phoenix replied.

Her body shot up like a cannonball, soaring into the sky, nearly invisible to the naked eye.

When she reappeared, her long whip transformed into a giant serpent, lashing towards King Yan’s head.

"Seeking death..."

King Yan slashed his sword at the whip.

"Here it comes."

Phoenix flicked her wrist, and the whip, as if it had eyes, coiled around King Yan’s wrist.

Furthermore, the length of the whip continued to extend indefinitely.

Soon, King Yan’s sword-wielding arm was wrapped round and round by the whip, rendering him unable to bring his sword down further.

Strike him when he is weak, take his life.

Tang Fei’s body zipped over his head like lightning, his sword transforming into a streak of silver light.

Crack!

King Yan’s head was chopped off by him.

A huge head flew in the air, still capable of speaking.

"You damn pests..."

"I will exterminate all of you..."

"Exterminate you all..."

His mouth emitted a huge roaring sound, which seemed to signal or resonate with a distant volcano.

Boom...

A massive amount of lava erupted, rushing towards Yama Canyon.

The ground shook and the whole world turned into a fiery red magma.

Tang Fei dove forward, pressing Phoenix’s body beneath his.

Although he knew it was of little use...

But if death was to come, they would face it together.

-------

Tang Fei was awoken by the cold.

He opened his eyes and saw nothing but the pristine white of the Snow Realm.

Frozen landscape, feathers of snow swirling in the air.

"Where am I?" Tang Fei wondered to himself.

Was he alive or had he died?

The scalding magma had surged toward him just moments ago, and he felt as if his skin had been charred...

"Phoenix?" Tang Fei climbed out of the snow, calling out, "Phoenix... Phoenix..."

No response.

"Is anybody there?"

"Where am I?"

Still no response.

"What should I do now?"

Tang Fei was a bit bewildered.

He couldn’t find Phoenix, nor any of the other examination participants.

All he could see were ice and snow, he didn’t even know if he was alive or dead, or if he was still being tested in the virtual world...

But if he had died, he should have been automatically logged out of the system. So why was he still in this unfamiliar place?

Did that mean this was the third stage of the examination?

It was Tang Fei’s first time participating in the White Crane Academy’s recruitment examination, and nobody had explained the specifics of the examination before they entered the virtual world; they had to figure out each stage on their own...

At least, it was good to be alive.

Being alive meant there was still hope.

Tang Fei grabbed a handful of snow and wiped it across his face to make himself more alert.

His stomach grumbled, and his throat burned uncomfortably.

Clearly, the magma from Yama Canyon had a significant impact on their bodies.

Tang Fei hesitated momentarily but then stuffed a handful of snow into his mouth.

In this godforsaken place, finding food seemed unrealistic; he could only use the snow to replenish some water...

His hesitation wasn’t because he thought the snow was dirty, but because he was concerned it might contain some toxic substances.

He would never dare to eat the snow from the Old Land, no matter what.

The cold snow water soothed his throat almost immediately and slightly cooled the burning sensation in his body.

Tang Fei looked around, determined a direction, and then headed east.

He wasn’t sure why he chose east; maybe he just liked the sound of the phrase "fortune comes from the east"...

After all, north, south, west were all as deadly and silent; none of the directions promised anything good.

A shadow approached from the front, and Tang Fei, elated, shouted, "Do you know where this is?"

"Kunlun Snow Realm..."

"What are our examination instructions..."

Tang Fei had not finished his question when he saw the dark figure rush towards him, a long sword in hand, slashing ferociously at his head.

"Are you crazy?" Tang Fei blocked with his sword and shouted, "Why are you trying to kill me?"

"I’m looking for the Heart of Death God."

"The Heart of Death God isn’t with me..."

Tang Fei said angrily.

He knew about the Heart of Death God; before entering the Illusion Realm, Si Yinchuan, the vice dean of White Crane Academy, had mentioned that only the person who overcame numerous challenges and obtained the Heart of Death God could become a student of White Crane Academy.

But what did that have to do with him?

He had never seen the Heart of Death God.

The shadow furiously slashed at Tang Fei, shouting, "There’s only one Heart of Death God... hence, everyone must die."

"..."

Tang Fei understood now.

The so-called Kunlun Snow Realm was a melee, with students killing each other.

Only the last person alive could have the chance to obtain the Heart of Death God...

Thus, every student who participated in the examination was both a hunter, trying to kill others, and prey, trying to avoid being killed.

Such a bloody mode of the game.

Now that he knew the rules of the game, Tang Fei had nothing more to say.

As he blocked the fierce sword strike from the shadow, his body seemed to lose balance and he fell to the ground with a "swish."

The shadow seized the opportunity, leaping forward with a sword aimed at the ground.

Tang Fei slid on his butt on the ground, then his long sword slashed upward...

Snap!

Sword Energy swept across.

It bisected the airborne shadow into two halves.

Crack...

Pop...

The sound of the same body splitting in two upon hitting the ground was distinctly different.

Everyone knew Tang Fei was formidable in forest combat, but few knew that he also had extensive experience fighting in snow.

After all, the snow in the Old Land was really deep, often reaching half a person’s height...

Tang Fei wiped the bloodstains from his face, then lay on the ground panting heavily.

Which bastard designed this examination method?

This was driving people to their deaths...
