Dashing Student Chapter 1507 1472: Terms of the Deal_2

"Barbarian, don't come back again, hurry and escape. We don't expect you to save us, stop being so kind!"

Tears fell from Feng Qingcheng's eyes. This was the first time someone was willing to risk their life for her, without expecting anything in return, so she didn't want to watch Chen Nan die in front of her.

"Brother Zhang San... Brother Chen, don't worry about us. If you stay, you truly will die!" Xiao Jian couldn't help but urge him.

But Chen Nan turned a deaf ear to them, eventually returning to stand in front of Lan Zhenyue, his gaze unyielding, though he looked extremely weakened.

"It seems you truly have some skills, but the next strike won't be so simple."

Lan Zhenyue sneered coldly, extending a finger to draw a circle in front of him, within which water vapor gradually condensed into droplets of clear water.

All the droplets simultaneously elongated into sharp needles, which instantly shot densely towards Chen Nan.

The flying needles, upon hitting Chen Nan, didn't quickly pierce through him but instead burrowed into his flesh, rotating continuously, slowly passing through his flesh.

The entire process was akin to repeated lingchi!

In an instant, Chen Nan's body trembled violently, his face as pale as paper, large beads of sweat streaming down his forehead, his lips quivering, unable to utter a word.

After a whole hour, the needles had only burrowed halfway into the flesh, yet Chen Nan's eyes were blood-red with pain, the vessels in his eyes seemingly about to burst.

"Stop! Stop it!"

Feng Qingcheng collapsed to the ground, covering her mouth, crying incessantly. Although she was usually a bit ostentatious, her heart would ache too.

Chen Nan clenched his teeth tightly and endured this strike in silence. The densely packed needles piercing through his body were stained red with blood.

His body was left with countless holes, blood constantly oozing out, staining his clothes, making him look like a bloodied man.

With a dull thud, Chen Nan could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.

Lan Zhenyue looked at Chen Nan with a cold smile: "So, do you still want to continue with the bet? You can barely withstand this strike, the next one will kill you!"

Chen Nan lay on the ground without speaking, his eyes shut tight. This time, Lan Zhenyue didn't urge him but waited patiently on the side.

He knew that Chen Nan was about to die soon.

This time Chen Nan took more than double the time to rest compared to before. Only after his wounds had healed did he stand up again.

"Demon King Zhenyue, this will be the third strike." He couldn't help reminding.

"Don't worry, I won't forget." Lan Zhenyue replied impatiently.

A Golden Core Realm Cultivator actually withstood two of his attacks, if word got out, his reputation as Demon King Zhenyue would be ruined.

"This time, I'll let you die!"

The overwhelming Demon Qi surged and rippled around him, the Power of Laws concentrated, and all the water vapor in the surrounding world gathered into his hands.

"Water Dragon!"

A transparent Water Dragon roared mightily, far more powerful than what could be created by a mere doppelganger, its massive body surged, sending down a torrent of rain.

The Water Dragon soared to the sky, then quickly plummeted down, aiming to annihilate Chen Nan completely!

Feng Qingcheng and Xiao Jian, who were imprisoned, couldn't bear to watch any longer, but a smile appeared on Chen Nan's face: "Finally, it's here."

"What?"

Lan Zhenyue's heart jolted in surprise, when suddenly a massive Bone Stick swung down, striking the descending Water Dragon ferociously, causing it to explode with a bang.

A colossal figure appeared behind Chen Nan, none other than Master Liehuang!

"Master Liehuang? Why are you saving him?" Lan Zhenyue's eyes widened, unable to believe what was happening.

He had almost killed Chen Nan, but Chen Nan somehow got in cahoots with Master Liehuang.

Who is a Nascent Soul Realm Great Perfection expert, completely beyond the scope of what a small Demon King like him could contend with.

Master Liehuang didn't speak but instead dragged his massive Bone Stick, walking step by step towards Lan Zhenyue: "You dare to question me?"

With that, he swung his Bone Stick ferociously, sending Lan Zhenyue flying into the sky!

"Thank you!"

Chen Nan cupped his hands in gratitude, feeling relieved.

The reason he made such an outrageous bet and took so long to recover from his injuries was to buy time, as he was certain Master Liehuang would cooperate with him.

Because he told Master Liehuang that he was sent by Ling Shuanghua, who had merged with the Taiyin. In theory, he should be the Cultivator with the most Taiyin.

This was precisely why Master Liehuang agreed to cooperate with Chen Nan and help him at the critical moment to use the Taiyin to obtain the Lifespan Extension Pill.

Little did he know, Ling Shuanghua hadn't given Chen Nan a single bit of Taiyin; he had converted all the Taiyin himself using Mana.

"Barbarian, did you sell yourself to Master Liehuang?"

Feng Qingcheng joked at this moment, though there were still tear stains on her face, clearly showing how frightened she had been just now.

Chen Nan stepped forward and freed her and Xiao Jian, and the three exchanged smiles.

"Did this alliance not work out for you?"

"More than just not losing, it was a huge gain." Feng Qingcheng laughed. That feeling of surviving a disaster made one cherish life all the more.

At this moment, Xiao Jian asked: "Did you see the Heavenly Human Dao Stele? To pass through the Bronze Gate, one must give up everything. Would anyone really do that?"

"Someone definitely will, just because the time hasn't come yet. If you don't enter the Bronze Gate, you'll be trapped here forever. Would you choose to lose everything or be trapped here?"

Feng Qingcheng sighed. Facing the final path of reincarnation, she was equally helpless.

"We'll find out when we go back. Could the Six Paths of Reincarnation really end by letting people reincarnate?" Chen Nan furrowed his brows.

It seemed that the conditions within the Heavenly Human Path exactly matched this reincarnation concept, giving up everything and starting anew.

The three of them found a random place to sit and heal their injuries, and within two hours, their wounds were almost fully healed.

Even Feng Qingcheng and Xiao Jian's sealed cultivation had been restored.

The three returned to the bronze gate of the Heavenly Human Path, where countless scared and hideous faces had now appeared on the originally blank Bronze Gate.

They looked lifelike, as if embossed onto the surface.

"The last time we came, there were no faces on the door. Who carved these?" Feng Qingcheng was puzzled.

At this moment, Master Xiuku suddenly reached out and swept a powerful suction from his palm, like a whirlpool, directly pulling a Golden Core Realm Cultivator from a distance.

"Spare me, Master!"

The Golden Core Cultivator pleaded in horror, struggling constantly, but his fate lay in the hands of Master Xiuku.

Master Xiuku's aged face remained expressionless as he directly tossed the Golden Core Cultivator into the Bronze Gate, soon followed by screams of agony.

Soon after, a terrified face appeared in the once blank area of the Bronze Gate.

Chen Nan and the others finally understood where the faces on the Bronze Gate came from.

"What exactly lies beyond the Bronze Gate to terrify a cultivator so?" Xiao Jian squinted slightly, seeking an answer on the stele.

But the stele only described the consequences of stepping into the Bronze Gate, with no further information.

Master Xiuku continued capturing Cultivators and tossing them into the Bronze Gate, each time capturing a Cultivator of higher cultivation, testing what lay behind the Bronze Gate that could induce such terror.

This time, the Cultivator entering the Bronze Gate did not scream.

"What is inside?"

Master Xiuku suddenly asked excitedly.

After a long while, a voice emerged from the gate.

"It's true reincarnation!"
