Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1602: Three Days Later

Despite her soul being in the soul challenge, Luo Yunxiao’s body activated her Heaven-Earth Reversal Physique, and her soul received its effects. She attacked all the woman’s illusions, starting from Xu Ling’er.

”You guys won’t be able to do anything to me!” Luo Yunxiao’s palm struck Xu Ling’er’s chest. ”Illusions are just illusions! I am a master of Yin and Yang thanks to my Heaven-Earth Reversal Physique!”

Zhang Chen and the others attacked Luo Yunxiao simultaneously, but the Yin-Yang symbol suddenly enveloped her soul. Black and white light shot out from her soul, forming a pillar that instantly blocked their attacks.

Luo Yunxiao looked at Xu Ling’er, who was trying to attack her with the radiance sword. She smirked and blasted her back, enveloping her enemy with her Yin-Yang aura. ”Begone!”

*Boom*

A small explosion rang out, and Xu Ling’er quickly disappeared. Luo Yunxiao didn’t stop there and moved towards Zhang Chen, who had already opened his dragon snout to attack her.

As Zhang Chen shot her black and white dragon breath, Luo Yunxiao dodged it and moved above her head.

”Please forgive me, Grandma Chen.” Luo Yunxiao struck Zhang Chen’s dragon head with full force, causing him to crash on the ground with a loud bang.

*Boom*

Luo Yunxiao didn’t stop there and took an archery stance, with a bow and arrow in both hands. She fired the arrow at Zhang Chen, and it instantly shattered into several pieces before piercing her dragon body.

*Roar*

Zhang Chen released a loud dragon roar, and she gradually disappeared from that place.

Luo Yunxiao looked at Huang Xiaoyi and the others with a light smirk. She raised her hands and enveloped them with her Yin-Yang aura. ”Unfortunately, you guys are just illusions, and you’ll never be able to do anything to me. As long as I have my Heaven-Earth Reversal Physique, I have complete control over Yin and Yang, and it’s time for you guys to disappear! Reversal!”

*Swoosh... Swoosh...*

Huang Xiayoi and all the women slowly disappeared one by one before disappearing completely, making Luo Yunxiao feel a little relieved.

Luo Yunxiao looked around because her soul had not been sent back into her body. While she was thinking that, two giant figures appeared in front of her, which were the white ten-tailed fox and the black ten-tailed fox. ”I guess this challenge still has a long way to go! If that’s the case, I’ll fight you two now.”

Meanwhile, Zhang Fei decided to remove his soul swords, even though his soul was a bit messy due to the attacks of those shadowy creatures. He remembered Hu Tianlang and Dugu Yuanshen’s words that the challenge was based on his fear, and all the illusions that appeared there were equal in power to his.

Zhang Fei calmed himself down and looked at the surrounding area calmly, even though he still couldn’t see the shadowy creatures. He focused his senses, especially his hearing, to track their movements. Although faint, he began to hear their movements, and he concentrated more on listening for changes in the surrounding area.

*Screech... Screech...*

Zhang Fei moved to the side as one of them attacked him, but the others immediately attacked him at the same time. Unlike before, he was able to dodge their attacks, especially after he overcame his fear of them.

Even though their first attack failed, the shadowy creatures did not stop attacking Zhang Fei; Instead, they attacked him faster than before, but he managed to dodge them all.

Zhang Fei released the white lotus from within his soul again and expanded it, reaching as far as possible. He also activated his soul domain to strengthen his soul defense while waiting for an opportunity to counterattack them. ’I couldn’t see or hear their movements before because I was too afraid of them, but I can sense them now.’

*Screech... Screech...*

Zhang Fei dodged their attacks again as he absorbed their soul power, and his soul slowly recovered. For a while, he continued his actions until the shadowy creatures stopped attacking him, but he knew they hadn’t disappeared yet, and they were waiting for him to lower his guard.

’Where are you hiding? What are you guys planning?’ Zhang Fei suddenly sensed a shift in his surroundings and realized that those shadowy creatures had gathered in one place. He felt a chill in his soul and jumped away from the source. ’They decided to merge into one, huh? I can’t let them, or they will become even stronger than before.’

Zhang Fei dashed towards them, created a sword soul, and attacked them directly. Those shadowy creatures split apart and fled in several different directions, confusing him. He chased the one closest to him and slashed it straight away.

Zhang Fei felt his soul absorb its soul fragment, which meant his attack had been successful. He wasted no time and immediately pursued the other shadowy creatures.

High above Zhang Fei, the mysterious man who previously met Feng Yao watched him fight those shadowy creatures and kill them one by one. ”This kid has everything he needs to complete all these challenges easily, but he is often too afraid of his enemies. If he can get rid of his fears like the original me, he will become a terrifying cultivator in the future, and no one won’t be able to do anything to him, including the original me.”

As Zhang Fei continued to hunt and kill those shadowy creatures, absorbing their soul fragments, screams echoed throughout the place.

After some time, the darkness in the area completely disappeared, which made Zhang Fei feel relieved. However, he was confused because his soul hadn’t been sent back into his body, even though he had killed and absorbed all the shadowy creatures.

”Is this challenge still not over?” Since the next challenge hadn’t appeared yet, Zhang Fei sat there and waited. ”I hope I can complete this challenge soon so I can move on to the ninth challenge.”

Unbeknownst to Zhang Fei, another three days had passed since he began his challenge. Helian Xun’er, Nalan Wangzi, Tianshi Shengjie, and Yue Xuelian, who had recovered their souls, immediately went to the eighth area and began their challenge.

Wang Yusheng and Wang Jingzhi had already completed their first challenge, and they immediately went to the second area to start it.

Just like them, several core disciples of the Divine Samsara Sect, such as Wang Tieshan and Hua Liuying, had also moved to the second area and begun their challenges.

More and more cultivators filled the second floor, but their numbers were not as numerous as on the previous floors because many of them failed to face all the challenges there.

Many of those cultivators also decided to give up due to the presence of demons from the three demon races, who were clearly targeting them and intending to capture them. They could challenge the tower whenever they wanted, so they decided to give up rather than be captured by the demons.

Some people from the Moonlit Passion Temple, the Spring Zenith Sect, the Hidden Moon Sect, the Celestial Moon Sect, and the Divine Samsara Sect had also reached the second floor. They did not immediately begin their first challenge on that floor; instead, they chose to wait and prepare themselves.

Li Guangyu was pleased with the success of several other disciples from his sect in reaching the second floor, but he couldn’t rest assured because the demons of the three demon races were still on the first floor.

Although their progress was slow due to the presence of Feng Yao and the others, Li Guangyu was confident that they would reach the second floor, especially their grand elders, which would make the situation on that floor become chaotic. ’I hope our Sect Master and the others will arrive at this tower soon because I can’t face those demons alone.’

Dugu Yuanshen didn’t care much about those cultivators, and he only cared about his disciples, who were still having difficulty completing their challenges. He raised an eyebrow slightly when he saw Luo Yunxiao open his eyes. ”As expected, you’ve easily passed your eighth challenge, Young Lady.”

”Haha,” Luo Yunxiao laughed softly. ”My eighth challenge wasn’t as easy as the previous ones, Senior. Although I was able to defeat my opponents there, I had to work quite hard to do so. Is the ninth challenge even more difficult?”

”It can be difficult, but it can also be easy, Young Lady.” Luo Yunxiao was curious about that, but she didn’t rush to the next challenge. ”The eighth challenge is a battle, right? The ninth challenge is not a battle with enemies but something else, and not all cultivators can pass it. You will surely understand the difficulties once your soul enters that challenging place, but I am sure that it will not be a significant obstacle for you.”

”I understand, Senior.” Luo Yunxiao looked at Zhang Fei and smiled to herself, seeing him so calm. ”It seems he still needs some time to complete his eighth challenge.”

Dugu Yuanshen nodded at her. ”Three days have passed since you two entered the eighth challenge, and I previously thought he would fail this time. My guess was wrong, as he managed to regain his composure, and calm is the main key to completing all the challenges on this second floor.”

”Yes,” Luo Yunxiao walked into the ninth challenge area. ”Since my husband has calmed down, I don’t need to worry about him anymore, and I will start the next challenge, Senior.”

”Go on.”

After Luo Yunxiao sat down in the ninth area, her soul was immediately transported to the next challenge area.

Dugu Yuanshen nodded slightly and looked at Zhang Fei. ”Don’t give up and show me what you’re capable of, Young Man.”
