Chapter 1297 - 1297: Heaven-like Twelfth Floor

To be honest, at this moment the Red-robed expert was really a bit angry.

After all, from ancient times till now, he had met no less than a thousand Gate-crashers, if not eight hundred. Every single one who came in before was single-mindedly thinking about how to clear the trial, but Liu Zixuan this bastard was different.

Not only did he not mull over those things, he even started chatting with the Gatekeeper.

If it were just a few casual words, it would still be fine, but he actually had the nerve to start bargaining with the Gatekeeper!

Someone with skin this thick, the Red-robed expert truly was seeing for the first time!

He pinched the bridge of his nose and cursed at Liu Zixuan, "Are you going to clear the trial or not? If not, I'll just kick you down to the ninth floor!"

Liu Zixuan raised his brows slightly. "Of course I'm going to clear it. And you already told me how to. It's just that this way of clearing the level is a bit too damn unpleasant, don't you think!"

Just now, although the Red-robed expert had cut his words off halfway, he had actually already revealed to Liu Zixuan how to pass this level.

In this level, the Red-robed expert was like a mirror of Liu Zixuan.

If the Red-robed expert was hurt, Liu Zixuan would be injured as well.

And the rule of this level was that Liu Zixuan had to defeat the Red-robed expert without taking the initiative to injure him.

So the best way to clear the trial was for Liu Zixuan to beat himself down. And this was the half-finished sentence of the Red-robed expert.

But beating yourself up is not an easy thing to do!

How exactly was Liu Zixuan supposed to stomach that?

Seeing him deep in thought, the Red-robed expert sighed. "You don't need to clear this one anymore."

Liu Zixuan jerked his head up. "Damn, for real?"

"Your Clone has already done the thing you didn't want to do. The Black-robed side has already informed me. So you two have passed this level."

Liu Zixuan's mouth twitched a few times. "My Clone is freaking awesome, he even managed to lay hands on himself. He's stronger than my true body!"

"Strong or not, I don't know. At the very least, he's got more face than you!" The Red-robed expert cast Liu Zixuan a sideways glance. "I'll send you two up in a bit, but before that, there are a few things I want to say to you."

"Go ahead." Liu Zixuan grinned. "For the sake of chatting with me this long, once you get out I'll definitely treat you to mala tang!"

The Red-robed expert glared at Liu Zixuan in exasperation. "Your Clone is indeed very strong, and also the most perfect Clone I've ever seen. Even those top experts of that clan in the Ancient Times couldn't do it."

"That clan? Which clan are you talking about?" It seemed Liu Zixuan had heard similar words before.

The Red-robed expert didn't explain this, instead speaking earnestly, "Your Clone should have gone through some special things before. There is something very dangerous on him, so you'd better watch yourself."

Hearing this, Liu Zixuan also put away that playful look of his and asked solemnly, "Senior, I hope you can elaborate."

The Red-robed expert shook his head. "I can't say too much. That's your path. I cannot interfere in your karma. Just remember this: you must be extremely careful and keep a close eye on your Clone. Maybe the thing on him can help you a great deal, or maybe it can drag you down into an abyss with no return!"

Liu Zixuan nodded solemnly. "I will definitely keep your words in mind."

Whoosh…

It was like a spring breeze swept past, and the surroundings changed. By the time Liu Zixuan reacted, they were already back on the tenth floor.

Looking at his Clone's bruised and swollen face, under normal circumstances he would definitely mock him a good while, but after hearing the Red-robed expert's words, he no longer had that mood.

"Kid, don't forget my mala tang!" The Red-robed expert finished speaking, then slowly walked toward the Black-robed expert. The two of them sat together on that throne inlaid with gold and gems.

Immediately, a blinding light burst forth from the throne, and the two experts instantly turned into a black and a red beam of light shooting straight toward the ceiling.

In a flash, a hazy yet real staircase appeared in front of Liu Zixuan and his Clone.

"What are you looking at? You passed, you can go to the eleventh floor now." The Clone cursed in great displeasure.

Liu Zixuan's lips moved, but he didn't say anything else. He took the lead and headed toward the eleventh floor.

The Clone followed right behind. The two of them stepped on the seemingly illusory steps, walking upward one step at a time. Speaking of which, during the walk both Liu Zixuan and the Clone were a bit surprised. On the previous floors, they only needed three to five steps to get up, but here they walked at least a dozen steps!

When the beam of light disappeared, they had already appeared on another floor.

As the lights came on, the surrounding scene entered their field of vision.

The Clone blinked twice. "Is this Heaven?"

You couldn't really blame him for being so shocked. Everything around them truly existed like a dream.

Just as they stepped onto the stairs, there were two pools on their left and right, just like the wine ponds and meat forests created by King Zhou and Daji. Next to them were all kinds of delicacies, and in the pools stood a few scantily clad, extremely seductive beauties.

Inside the pools, gold bars and silver ingots were piled up in an uncountable heap on the left, while the right was filled with countless pearls and agates.

Just this scene in front of them was enough to make an ordinary person stand there dumbfounded.

This was completely Heaven, completely the life of an Emperor!

Liu Zixuan rubbed his chin. "There's no way it's that simple. We're here to clear a level, not to enjoy ourselves!"

"To hell with that, I haven't even held a girl's hand since I appeared!"

The Clone showed a very sleazy expression and leapt into the pool. As he went down, those beauties all swarmed over—some offering fruit, some feeding him wine, others tearing off chunks of meat to feed him.

The scene really did look quite wonderful.

But Liu Zixuan couldn't feel happy at all.

The prettier the mushroom, the more poisonous it is. Behind beautiful things there is always something ugly propping them up.

The mystery of this floor was definitely not that simple!

It was just that while the two of them were facing the temptations of food, beauty, and gold, another scene unfolded on the tenth floor.

A black and a red figure appeared again beside the seats.

The Black-robed expert frowned. "Looks like we just made a mistake!"

"What mistake?" the Red-robed expert asked with a hint of meaning.

"The passage we opened just now didn't send them to the eleventh floor, but directly to the twelfth." The Black-robed expert scratched his head. "Looks like doing this is the same as breaking the rules of that one at the top."

The Red-robed expert laughed. "Didn't you notice how special that kid Liu Zixuan is?"

"Special? You mean his Blazing Dragon Eye?" the Black-robed expert asked.

The Red-robed expert shook his head. "It's not just the Blazing Dragon Eye. He has the Xuanyuan Sword—you should know the connection between the Xuanyuan Sword and that one at the top. He also has the Ancient Thirteen Spirit Needles, and you should know even better the connection between those things and that one at the top. So by doing this, not only are we not breaking the rules, we're actually making that guy owe us a favor."
