THE MARTIAL KING - Season 8 Episode 81

Nina felt her heart racing in her chest as she felt John’s breath near her. Thinking of what happened in the office earlier, her face turned red.

“What are you going to do?” Her breathing started to get erratic when she felt the man’s physiological change.

The corners of John’s lips lifted slightly. Nina was always particularly sensitive on this matter.

He felt that he needed to do something to tease her.

The elder became nervous, clueless about what was going on.

“W-what is this?” he asked, puzzled.

No one could give him an answer. It was the first time that anyone who was present there had seen such a thing.

As time passed, the light that had shot out of the die began to jump and its color began to change. It slowly turned from a bright yellow to red, and the two colors flickered alternately.

The elder of the Black Mountain Sect began to panic at the change in the light beam. He looked at Raven, the sect head, and shouted in panic, “Sir, save me!”

Raven was not far from the elder. The problem was that the emerald enchanted barrier surrounding the platform could not be broken. So Raven couldn’t help him even if he wanted to.

When the beam of light finally turned completely red, it shone bright, focusing on the body of the Black Mountain Sect elder. A horrifying amount of powerful energy erupted from the beam of light, instantly shattering the elder into pieces.

The shock registered on everyone’s face at this.

Raven was wearing a mask, so it was impossible to see his expression. But he definitely had to be as stunned as everyone else.

The energy contained within the beam of light was something that no one could resist and was extremely terrifying.

Not to mention that the man who had just died was an elder of the Virtual Tribulation Realm. Even a Life and Death Realm expert wouldn’t be able to block this beam of light.

What the hell was this? It seemed that whoever the beam of light was directed at had to die.

No one could answer this question. After the beam of light had instantly killed the Black Mountain Sect elder, it began to slowly spin again.

Everyone prayed nervously, ‘Don’t let the light shine on me!’

The beam of light started to slow down, sliding towards the Cloud Hall.

People from the other sects let out a sigh of relief as they saw this, assured that it wouldn’t be them.

However, it was a different story for Cloud Hall.

Emanuel was ashen-faced as he looked at the beam of light that was slowly moving towards him. Only when the beam of light slowly flew past him did he heave a sigh of relief.

The beam of light then shot towards Morphens. He frowned as he stared at the beam that symbolized death, contemplating ways to deal with it.

However, the beam of light did not stop at Morphens either. In the end, it swept past Imogen and slowly turned towards Letitia.

“Tia,” Zen said, his heart dropping.

Just when everyone had begun to think that the beam of light was aimed at Tia, it shifted a little and landed on Zen.

Eddie smiled faintly, yet contemptuously. ‘This little brat has been always lucky. It looks like his luck is about to run out today. Even a Virtual Tribulation Realm warrior couldn’t withstand this beam of light. So this brat is doomed.’

“Zen!” Letitia was very nervous.

Zen’s brow creased.

When this beam of light turned red in a few seconds, it would kill him. There was a frenzy at the realization that not a single person was able to retain their composure.

But Zen looked abnormally calm.

He still had a bit of support on his body, so he should be able to resist the red light. He was still carrying the protective talisman that the leader of the Dragon Abyss Palace had given him, which was also from the Upper World and was supposed to be able to help him resist the red light.

Impatience was useless at this point. The most important thing was to think. No matter what the purpose of the Mist Celestial Tomb’s design was, it should not have left behind such a death trap.

As the beam revolved around, more and more people would die. Could it be that this beam of light was going to kill everyone here?

‘Calm down, calm down, ‘ Zen kept telling himself.

The giant die in the middle!

It definitely had something to do with that die. The question was, how should he solve this mystery?

Die…

The problem must have been the die.

Everyone had to face this one, though. After a few seconds, the red light appeared again. The yellow and red light continued to appear alternately. Once the light turned completely red, it would kill Zen in an instant.

Some people like Eddie, who harbored nothing but enmity for Zen, sneered.

But most people were worried. Even if Zen died, what would happen next? They also had to face the beam of light. How could they escape death?

The red light jumped faster and faster. Zen’s eyes fluttered and his life vitality surged. He punched in the air, and the shadow of his fist actually shot towards the die.

Bam!

The strange thing was that the emerald enchanted barrier in front of Zen had not blocked his attack. The shadow of his fist went straight through.

The die jumped up after Zen’s punch, rolled a few times, and finally stopped with a number.

“Two dots.”

The beam of light shining on Zen gradually turned yellow.

“Is everything alright?” This scene brought joy to everyone’s hearts.

Letitia exhaled deeply. Zen was indeed unusually lucky.

“It turned out that the trick was to hit that giant die in the middle, but I don’t know why.”

“That elder from Black Mountain Sect has died pointlessly.”

“It was his own fault. He was too stupid to know that he should attack the die in the middle!”

Everyone was discussing these events among themselves. Although Zen had survived, they still could not understand what exactly the purpose of the design for the Mist Celestial Tomb was.

Right after the die showed the two dots, the emerald enchanted barrier before Zen disappeared and two discs appeared in front of him.

The answer dawned on Zen as he looked at the two discs. “So that’s how it is. Attacking the die in front of us will allow us to move forward based on the dots we have.”

Zen didn’t hesitate. He stepped off the platform, onto one disc, and took two steps forward.

He understood at this moment, and watching him step forward, everyone else immediately understood too. Now that they had an understanding and a plan, they became much calmer. They just had to attack that die and get a number. They could then take a number of steps according to the die to walk forward.

They were relieved and when the beam of light began to spin again, they weren’t as nervous anymore.

After Zen had taken two steps forward, the beam of light began to spin again. It spun continuously and finally landed on Brent, a disciple of the Ethereal Spirit Sect.

Brent smiled and punched the die, which rolled a few times in the air and finally revealed a number, six.

Soon after, six discs appeared in front of Brent. As he stepped forward, he smiled at Zen and teased, “It looks like I’m luckier than you.”

Zen laughed lightly, not minding it at all.
Soon, the beam of light rotated for the fourth time, and it landed on an elder of the Mysterious Luna Hall.

The elder smirked and also threw a punch. As a Virtual Tribulation Realm martial artist, he used 80% of his strength in this punch, sending the die flying high into the air. It fell down heavily, revealing a number, three.

“Three, not bad!” The elder from Mysterious Luna Hall took three steps forward without hesitation.

However, just as he stepped onto the third disk, the disk suddenly changed color from translucent to a fiery red.

“Blazing Thunder Prison!” a faint voice said.

Pop!

A ball of intense flames suddenly exploded around the elder, and at the same time, purple lightning bolts descended from the sky, one after the other, with cracking sounds.

The bolts of lightning were like mad snakes as they burned the elder down.

After a long time, the flames and lightning finally disappeared. There was only charred coal left on the third disk. Everyone was horrified all over again.
