Ch 354: Tokens Of Joy And Sorrow
Liu Ke and his companions now face an extremely severe situation. They only have one “Joy” Token, and to avoid the threat of death, they must collect four “Joy” Tokens. However, if they unfortunately collect four “Sorrow” Tokens, then all eleven of them will face death.
Although they might change this situation by seizing others’ Tokens, they dare not easily take risks, because a slight misstep could lead them to an irreversible situation.
Currently, they already have two “Sorrow” Tokens, meaning they are only one step away from death. If they seize two more “Sorrow” Tokens, then they will all perish in the Yellow Springs.
In this tense situation, Liu Ke unhesitatingly charged towards those several people, hoping to seize a “Joy” Token. However, the other party was clearly prepared, and before Liu Ke arrived, they had successfully snatched the Token.
Seeing this, Liu Ke was anxious. He quickly drew his dagger and slashed at a person holding a “Joy” Token.
At this critical moment, a weak person suddenly appeared in front of Liu Ke, blocking his attack.
Although this person looked somewhat weak, his eyes were unusually sinister, revealing an atmosphere that made people shudder.
Liu Ke and he clashed instantly, attacking and defending, neither yielding. After five or six rounds of fierce fighting, both sides remained evenly matched.
At this time, an unexpected scene occurred. The weak person suddenly pointed the dagger in his hand at his own shoulder, and Liu Ke immediately did the same, pointing his dagger at his own shoulder.
Immediately afterwards, both shouted: “Blood Sea Thousand Waves!”
In an instant, their blood, as if stimulated by a powerful force, gushed out, forming two surging blood waves.
These two blood waves were like two ferocious Giant Dragons, colliding with each other in the air, emitting a earth-shattering roar.
The people around were stunned by this sudden scene. Whether they were seizing Tokens or preparing to exchange Tokens, they all scattered in terror, afraid of being affected by the terrifying blood waves.
The two blood waves dissipated like surging waves, as if torn apart by a powerful force.
That person stared at Liu Ke with wide eyes full of astonishment, as if he had seen the most incredible thing in the world.
Liu Ke and that person almost simultaneously pulled out the sharp blades deeply embedded in each other’s shoulders, and blood spurted out like a fountain.
However, in stark contrast to this bloody scene, the atmosphere between the two was unusually heavy, as if time had frozen at this moment.
After a long while, that person finally came to his senses. His voice trembled slightly, and he asked in an incredulous tone: “You… you are also from the Blood Rule Sect?”
Liu Ke did not answer his question, but expressionlessly slowly raised the dagger in his hand, then gently placed it on his own neck.
Seeing this, the other party immediately understood Liu Ke’s intentions, and his face became extremely ugly.
“Senior Brother, please stop!” he hurriedly shouted, his voice revealing a trace of panic.
However, Liu Ke ignored his shout, and coldly said: “Give me a ‘Joy’ Token, otherwise you should know what I will do.”
Faced with Liu Ke’s threat, the other party was clearly hesitant. But soon, he also placed the dagger in his hand on his own neck, and responded without showing weakness: “Senior Brother, you are threatening me. Although this move is very risky, I’m not so scared that I dare not use it.”
Liu Ke’s lips curled slightly upwards, revealing a subtle smile, and softly said: “Oh, really?”
Before he finished speaking, Liu Ke suddenly turned the dagger in his hand, the tip pointing directly at his heart.
This action shocked the other party, and he cried out: “You… you want to use your Heart Blood? You… you don’t want to live!”
Liu Ke’s eyes were exceptionally firm. He coldly looked at the other party and said: “Or, let’s do it together.”
Having said that, Liu Ke’s dagger began to slowly pierce towards his heart. With each movement forward, it seemed as if one could hear the sound of the heart being pierced. Just as the dagger was about to pierce through his heart, a “Joy” Token, like a meteor, sped towards him and accurately landed in front of Liu Ke.
“Madman! The Blood Rule Sect actually produced a madman!” The other party looked at Liu Ke with disbelief, muttering to himself.
Liu Ke pulled out the dagger that was about to pierce his heart and picked up the “Joy” Token.
The people in that team began to blame him for giving the Token to someone else.
“Shut up, if you want to die, go ahead and fight him. If the Myriad Wonders Gate’s Rules don’t intervene, we’ll all die. Don’t underestimate Heart Blood. This thing kills without mercy, and those who use it certainly won’t show mercy.”
Liu Ke tightly grasped the Token in his hand, gazing at it, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
This Test had not clearly stated its end time! This made Liu Ke feel very surprised and worried.
The Rules of Joy and Sorrow are to obtain “Joy” Tokens through seizing, collecting, and exchanging, but it did not mention how long this process would last.
If they blindly continued like this, without knowing when it would end, it would bring great danger.
Because once that mysterious Voice suddenly announced “Time’s up,” and their team had not collected four “Joy” Tokens, then one person must pay the Price of Life.
Thinking of this, Liu Ke’s heart tightened. He suddenly raised his head and shouted: “What is the time limit for Joy and Sorrow!”
His voice echoed in the silent Space, attracting everyone’s attention.
Everyone stopped their Actions, looked at each other, clearly stunned by Liu Ke’s question.
They had never considered this seemingly simple question, but now realized its importance.
Because if they didn’t know the time limit, they would be like groping in the dark, completely unaware of their situation and fate.
Once that critical moment arrived, they might face the threat of death unprepared.
As everyone nervously awaited the answer, that mysterious Voice slowly sounded: “The time limit is one Hour, and half an Hour has already passed.”
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped. The atmosphere, which had been relatively relaxed, instantly became tense.
Liu Ke frowned. They currently have two “Joy” Tokens and two “Sorrow” Tokens, and one useless “Anger” Token. Time is pressing, and it is difficult to collect two more “Joy” Tokens.
He quickly scanned his surroundings, thinking about countermeasures. At this time, other teams also accelerated the speed of seizing and exchanging, and the scene became even more chaotic.
