When life is in danger, no one can be indifferent, and when desire transcends fear, there is courage.

The twenty men put down their weapons and looked at each other to the left and right, and their expressions were very rich.

There is seriousness, there is calm, there is fear, there is relaxation, there is excitement, there is panic...

When everyone was at a loss, the Taoist said 'start', and more than a dozen men behind him arranged for everyone to enter the portals on both sides, and then only heard a sound of 'boom', the portal closed, and the door came from the sound of 'boom', like a giant beast walking, and even the bottom of the hall was slightly shaken.

Suddenly, there were shouts, screams, fights, pleadings, and screams from the portal.

The voices rose and fell with each other, hoarse, and mixed together, like a hellish song, and resounded in the great hall and reached the ears of the people, and then the cowardly withdrew.

After touching the tea cup, the voices in the portal disappeared one after another, and the hall became very silent, looking very weird, as if all the people who were assessed had been chewed and swallowed by the 'monster'.

The atmosphere is becoming more and more depressing, making people breathless and unspeakably nervous.

"Boom!" sounded like thunder in everyone's hearts, and some people were so frightened by the sudden loud noise that they fainted.

Seeing this, the Taoist shook his head, and the man behind him came out and threw the faint man out of the main hall.

The Taoist looked at everyone and said, "Is there anyone else to be assessed?"

Seeing that the hearts of the remaining people were firm, they didn't say more, and pinched a handprint, and a hazy blue light appeared on the handprint, and the Taoist said 'go', the blue light deviated into twenty light runes, and submerged into the portals on both sides, and then there was a "boom" sound, the portals opened one after another, and a bloody breath spread from the twenty portals, and the smell made people do evil.

Then some people came out of the door one after another, but they were miserable, some were covered in blood, and the injuries were not light, some had broken hands and feet, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and some of them were all shrunk into a ball, as if the bones of the whole body had been shattered, and the most frightening thing was that there were twenty people who went in, and only seven came out, and what about the others?

The man behind the Taoist was accustomed to it, and the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, and without waiting for his command, he walked into the other portals, and in a moment, carried out thirteen bloody corpses.

None of the thirteen corpses were complete, and each one was horrific in its death, completely reduced to a mass of broken flesh and bones that could not bear to look at directly.

There were people in the hall who withdrew, and they really couldn't suppress the fear in their hearts, and some even peed their pants in fright.

Someone squatted on the ground and vomited, even if he was strong-minded, his face was pale at this time, and he pursed his lips tightly, for fear that if he opened his mouth, he would vent the courage in his heart.

They will soon face the same danger, but they are not ready to die.

Someone quietly retreated to the back, waiting for the others to enter first.

Tang Bai is also afraid, this kind of fear of facing life and death is the most test of people's hearts, only the real test of life and death can see the true nature of a person.

"Warriors are brave, they are not cowardly, they do not retreat against all difficulties, they have thousands of mountains and blades, and they are not afraid. ”

Tang Ruting's words kept ringing in Tang Bai's heart, constantly dispelling the fear in his heart.

The Taoist looked at everyone and asked, "Are you afraid?" Think about your parents, wives and children at home, think about the lovers under the moon before the flowers, think about the confidant who pushes the cup and change the lamp, and think about the beauty of life, do you want to continue?" After speaking, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "If you are not afraid of death, twenty people will come out and enter the portal for assessment." ”

Tang Bai originally had to wait for some time, but some people were afraid, and quietly retreated, he became the one standing at the front, he also had fear, but he didn't think about retreating, even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in the portal, he would break through.

The class and level of people determine that even if he dies, he will not give up, and he does not want to live as humble as he does now.

He looked at the people around him, only to see his fists clenched nervously, and he relaxed as if he were at home.

'People are dying in the sky, and they are not afraid of thousands of years. ”

Tang Bai untied his weapon, and the others also untied their weapons, but no one stepped forward, all of them stared at the dark portal with their eyes open, trying to see the situation inside.

But the darkness blocked everyone's curiosity, and the blood-stained door frame was like a monster with an open mouth, waiting for everyone to take the initiative to enter its stomach, and then slowly crush and digest it and turn it into food.

"Three breaths, those who have not entered the portal, cancel the assessment. ”

The words of the Taoist were like a ruthless whip, whipping on everyone, and the gentle voice did not carry a trace of emotion.

Tang Bai walked into the portal, as if he had walked into an unknown world.

Decide immediately, and face it calmly.

It was pitch black all around, and there was no light at all, and then only a 'bang' was heard, and the door was closed, and then the wind sounded in his ears, and the whistling wind mixed with unparalleled power surging towards Tang Bai.

Tang Bai was very sensitive to the air current, he didn't think about it, his body was like a fallen leaf with the wind, retreating with the direction of the force, at the same time, the spirit gathered in his eyes, the electric light flashed in his eyes, and the surrounding darkness was gone, only to see a huge iron fist blasting towards him.

He jumped to the left, then rolled on the spot, broke away from the shroud of the iron fist, looked up, but saw a huge iron man with a height of a foot, his whole body was dark and dark iron, and he did not see his facial features, but like a warrior, he moved quickly, quickly and accurately towards him, and the iron feet kicked towards him like a landslide, and at the same time, he saw a slight pain in the sea, which was a sign of mental exhaustion.

He did not panic, but like a cripple, his hind legs kicked the ground, and his front legs rushed out of the distance;

Taking advantage of these few breaths, he hurriedly closed his eyes, although there was a pinprick pain in his brain, but he endured the pain, let go of his heart, and sensed the changes in the spatial airflow and the change in strength.

Sure enough, the howling wind came from behind him again

As if he had been frightened, he suddenly jumped to the side and narrowly avoided it.

Then chased and fled, attacked and hidden, so exciting, although there were many crises, the iron man couldn't help Tang Bai at all.

After such hundreds of moves, Tang Bai felt that something was wrong, he found that the iron man's attack was getting faster and faster, a pair of iron fists were like a raging storm between the swings, and the moves did not deviate from the vital point, as long as he was not careful, he would break his hands and feet, pierce his chest and break his brain, so he was not fierce.

Tang Bai began to be embarrassed, the speed of the iron man was too fast, and the traces of his capture power became more and more difficult, and he was almost hit by the iron fist several times, and he was in danger.

He had to force his energy to gather his spirits, open his electric eyes, distance themselves from each other, and then close his eyes again and rest for a while. When he sensed that the air fluctuated greatly, he knew that the iron man had caught up, so he opened his eyes again, looked in the direction, and pulled away again.

After doing this several times, the iron man suddenly stopped moving.

Tang Bai knew that the assessment was over, so he didn't have time to rejoice, so he hugged his head tightly and roared.

He felt like his brain was like parched earth, with countless cracks already cracked.

He kept pounding his head to relieve the unbearable pain.

Then, the door was wide open, but the light of the sky could not shine in at all, and Tang Bai had to stumble out.

He picked up the kitchen knife, pinned it to his waist, and then clenched his fists with both hands, and endured the tearing pain in his brain, and then looked at the people around him, there were fifteen people missing, and the remaining five, one young woman had a broken right arm, and the other person crawled out of the house, and not long after he came out, he passed out.

"You have passed the assessment, give me your token, stand aside and wait, those who are disabled, are not allowed to enter. ”

The disciple who led Tang Bai and the others in looked at everyone, shook his head, and spoke.

When Tang Bai heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt that his eyes were black and dizzy, and he bit the tip of his tongue with a knife to prevent himself from fainting.

He took off the iron plaque representing his status as a servant and handed it to the man who led the way, and the woman with the broken arm fainted to death when she heard that she was too crippled to enter.

Then Tang Bai heard the Taoist shouting in a trance: "Twenty people who are not afraid will come out, and they will be assessed at the entrance." ”

No matter how bloody the assessment is, there are many people who are not afraid of life and death.

The immortal road is long, seeking up and down, the road of cultivation, thorns are everywhere, and many people have long put their lives on the line.

Another group of people who were assessed entered the portal to accept the test of death, but Tang Bai took advantage of this time to close his eyes and recuperate.

After more than an hour of this morning, all of them have been assessed, hundreds of people, thirty-seven cowards, twenty-one people passed, and all the others fell.

Such an elimination made Tang Bai more aware of the ruthlessness of cultivation and the fragility of life, if it weren't for the mutation of his eyes in the Qingqiu Mountain Range, seeing darkness as day, this time would have been more auspicious.

When he was in his trance, he heard the male disciple who led the way say coldly: "After passing the assessment, you can come to the 'Ascension Immortal Pavilion' in three days to receive the jade plate of entering the tower." ”

When the people heard this, some of them were overjoyed and danced like crazy; some wept with joy and squatted on the ground and refused to stand up for a long time; some people knew each other and discussed how to celebrate; and some got acquainted with each other in order to make friends in the future.

Tang Bai was in a state of weakness, and he didn't have much money on his body, so he replied to many invitations, and after leaving the Ascension Immortal Pavilion, he looked up at the clear blue sky, took a deep breath, and suddenly had a feeling of escaping death.

He held on to his spirits, hurried up, and went back to the inn to fall asleep, and it was not until late in the evening that Sun Buren and the other three returned to the inn that he was woken up.

Sun Buren and Fang Yuan were both injured, but the look of joy floated on their faces, and they talked about the thrill in the portal; only Liu Zhi sighed mournfully, seeing that Tang Bai was unharmed, but his face was pale, thinking that he was also frightened away by the assessment, he couldn't help but feel comforted.

But after some conversation, Tang Bai passed the assessment, and was disappointed, so he asked for a few jars of liquor in the inn and got drunk.
