Chapter Sixteen: The Invisible Trial That Has Already Begun
Kong Fang only killed Zhang Huo and Li Yu, but did not lay a hand on their followers. This was not because Kong Fang showed mercy, but because he had other plans in mind.
"To obtain the inheritance left by Huā Dié Jìng, one must meet his requirements. Previously, nine people entered the secret mansion. According to Huā Dié Jìng's requirements, the inheritance test will only begin when there are four people left. If these six people fight each other chaotically and the number of people is less than four, who knows what will happen? The six people present, Kǒng Fāng, didn't plan to let any of them go, after all, no one knew what would happen after the test."
Once someone leaves the secret mansion ahead of time and leaks the news, Kong Fang believes that a large number of extremely powerful experts will rush to San Xing Mountain. At that time, let alone Kong Fang who has not yet fully entered the realm of summoning souls, even the Zangzong sect which has been passed down for tens of thousands of years may not be able to continue existing.
After all, this involves the inheritance of a great power at the Butterfly Transformation Realm. The emergence of such a high-level strongman's inheritance will inevitably trigger a bloody storm. It is worth noting that the Temple of Instruments has stood for tens of thousands of years without falling, and its strength is naturally not to be underestimated. However, the elders in the Temple of Instruments are generally only at the Refining Spirit Realm, while above the Refining Spirit Realm lies the Clear Spirit Realm, and above that lies the Transcendent Spirit Realm. Only above the Transcendent Spirit Realm lies the Butterfly Transformation Realm, which shows just how terrifyingly powerful the great being who left behind the secret mansion must be.
Kong Fang did not allow the news to leak out, and the people present naturally wanted to solve it as soon as possible. After all, the more variables there were in the later stages, the better. It was just that the great master who built this secret mansion had set the rules, and Kong Fang did not dare to try to break them, so he could only leave behind two sides with equal numbers of people and let them kill each other.
If there were a few more people who would end up in the same way, the risk of leaking news here would naturally decrease a lot. This is why Kong Fang only killed Zhang Huo and Li You, the leaders, but left their followers behind.
Six people shrank on both sides of the corridor, looking at Kong Fang with trepidation.
All six of them couldn't accept this sudden change, after all, just a moment ago Kong Fang was still an inconspicuous young man, in their hearts he could be killed at will, there was nothing to say about it. The reason they didn't take action was that they wanted to use Kong Fang as bait, and take the opportunity to get rid of their greatest enemy.
But things changed too quickly, so quickly that they couldn't accept it.
Although the final result was still being crushed easily, it wasn't them crushing this young man, but rather this terrifyingly powerful young man crushing them easily.
The six people were now most afraid of being slaughtered by Kong Fang.
After getting rid of Li You, Kong Fang's gaze fell on the six living people, which made the six people shudder in unison, and their hearts were frightened beyond measure.
"I can kill you all easily, but I'm going to give you a chance. There are seven of us left now, and according to the master's request, three more must die before we can proceed with the inheritance test. If any of you can eliminate your opponent and survive, then I will allow him to take the inheritance test with me."
Upon hearing Kong Fang's words, the six people suddenly felt a glimmer of hope in their hearts. Their eyes, which were fixed on their opponents across the corridor, also revealed a strong intent to kill.
At this moment, let alone they were three on three, even if they were to fight one-on-one against the three opponents, they wouldn't hesitate too much. As long as they didn't have to face that boy who killed with ease like chopping vegetables, they would be satisfied.
"My patience is limited, I can't wait for too long." Kong Fang casually dropped a sentence and walked away to the distance, leaving the battlefield to the six people.
The six followers' breathing became heavier one by one, and their gaze towards their opponent also became crazier.
"Ah!" One of Li You's followers suddenly let out a frantic yell and recklessly charged towards the opponent on the other side of the corridor.
Rather than being killed by Kong Fang without a fight, they would rather engage in a fierce battle with their opponent, at least this way they still have a chance to survive.
As he moved, the eyes of the other five people also became crazy in an instant, and they all let out a loud roar, rushing towards their opponents.
Kong Fang had just said that his patience was limited, which made the six people dare not delay for a moment, and they immediately started fighting.
Suddenly, the corridor was filled with various screams and wails, six people coming and going, although they were unarmed, but they killed each other very miserably.
One second ago, a person knocked his opponent to the ground, but the next second the person on the ground bit his opponent's leg.
Blood splattered, flesh flew everywhere. The six of them used every usable part of their bodies as weapons, and as long as they could leave a mark on their opponent's body, the six would absolutely not hesitate to use it.
In the end, the six people had gone completely mad, with a fierce red glow in their eyes. As long as they saw something moving in their line of sight, they would pounce on it without hesitation, tearing and biting until the other party was completely still before letting go. Some people were so crazy that they didn't distinguish between friend and foe, attacking any 'living thing' that appeared in their line of sight.
In just a few short minutes, the bloody battle between the six had already come to an end. Three were dead, one was on the verge of death, and the last two, although they managed to save their lives, also suffered extremely severe injuries.
Kong Fang, who had been watching from head to toe, was also slightly surprised. Although the strength of these people was not enough to look at, the madness they showed just now could not be underestimated.
In the end, there were no less than four people alive, and Kong Fang was already satisfied with this result. The three of them now didn't even have the strength to stand up, let alone take the inheritance test, and even if they left the secret mansion now, Kong Fang wouldn't be too worried. As for the one on the brink of death, it goes without saying that he would thoroughly die soon.
It's unlikely that those two seriously injured people can survive, after all, there are no good healing items on the body of an outer disciple.
But just at this moment, the air suddenly shook violently, and then three green light groups appeared. The strong vitality contained in the green light group made Kong Fang's heart tremble with fear.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh
Three green light clusters flew out and directly merged into the bodies of the three living people. Kong Fang was shocked to discover that the injuries on the three people's bodies were recovering at an extremely terrifying speed.
In less than a minute, the two who were seriously injured and the one who was on the verge of death suddenly stood up perfectly fine. The three were full of energy, with rosy complexions, and there was no sign of their previous injuries or near-death state. Moreover, after being restored by the green light, not even a scar remained on their bodies.
Kong Fang's heart trembled with fear, and he had a deeper understanding of Hua Die Jing's powerful methods.
Thinking back, Guan Fang was somewhat relieved that he hadn't killed everyone earlier. After all, if the master of Huadiejing's secret mansion could save people, he could also punish them. If Guan Fang had killed everyone earlier, it would have undoubtedly disrupted the rules. With Huadiejing's great abilities, Guan Fang couldn't guess what the consequences would be.
Among the three survivors, only one was a follower of Zhang Huo, and the other two were followers of Li You. However, although the three had narrowly escaped with their lives, their gaze towards Kong Fang became even more fearful. At this point, they also understood the cause and effect, realizing that Kong Fang had deliberately let them kill each other. But facing the unpredictable strength of Kong Fang, they didn't dare to have any thought of resistance.
And then the air vibrated again, and more words appeared out of thin air.
"You have already passed the first test."
Seeing this line of words, Kong Fang and three others felt a tremble in their hearts and a lingering fear, for the test had already begun imperceptibly.
Just after entering the secret mansion, the text that appeared mentioned that with four people left, the trial could begin. However, this time the text said they had passed the first trial. The text left by the owner of the secret mansion was clearly not entirely trustworthy.
As soon as they thought of the upcoming trials, Kong Fang and the other three suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts.
