1693 The true purpose of the trial of fate (1)
Just as Tang Zhen and his partner were charging towards the edge of the battlefield, the trial-taker that had been with iron head earlier had actually followed them.
These trial-takers looked a little embarrassed. When they were cooperating to resist the enemy, iron head was still the main output, which showed that their strength was not that great.
...After their strength had been sealed, not all trial-takers could display their full strength. Because of their own experiences, many people had their eyes set on high and lowered their heads.
Tang Zhen turned his head and swept a glance over. He did not pay too much attention to it as he continued to wave his long spear and open up a path.
“Brother, why did you leave? did you discover something?”
A participant rushed to Tang Zhen’s side and loudly asked him. He seemed to be puzzled by Tang Zhen’s actions.
“I don’t know. I just feel that something is wrong and I’m preparing to evacuate first.
The enemy’s numbers are increasing, if we continue to waste time, we will all die Here!”
Tang Zhen sent an enemy flying. His brows were tightly knitted together as he looked at the enemy reinforcements that were rolling over from afar.
Now, he was more and more certain that he would die if he stayed on the battlefield. The more trial-takers he killed, the more enemy reinforcements he would get.
Ever since he arrived at the battlefield, he had not received any notifications. On the contrary, he had killed more and more enemies, and his strength had not increased at all.
Under such circumstances, what was the point of hesitating if they didn’t run? wait to be shot into a hornet’s nest?
When that participant heard Tang Zhen’s reply, he frowned slightly and revealed a hesitant expression.
Although Tang Zhen did not explain the specific reason, he was also clearly aware that this was not the time to go into detail.
In reality, Tang Zhen was not the only one who felt that something was amiss. The other trial-takers also felt the same. It was just that they were unable to confirm it.
The enemy’s will was too strong. Even after being killed by the trial-takers, their morale did not weaken at all. On the contrary, they became fiercer.
The number of reinforcements was even more frightening. It was like a flood that surged towards the low-lying areas, and there was an endless stream.
There must be a reason for this abnormal situation. Now that they saw that Tang Zhen wanted to retreat, they also felt that something was wrong and did not want to continue persisting.
Just as these trial-takers were hesitating, Tang Zhen and iron head had already rushed to the edge of the battlefield. They then controlled their war horses and galloped towards the depths of the grassland.
Dozens of enemy cavalrymen also rushed out and chased closely behind the two of them, as if they were determined to kill them.
The dozens of riders galloped on the grassland, getting further and further away from the battlefield, and the pressure on their bodies also reduced slightly.
Tang Zhen’s group ignored the people chasing behind them. As long as they left the battlefield, killing these enemies would not be a problem.
Perhaps it was because they were too tired, the speed of the two warhorses became slower and slower. After running for a few thousand meters, they were already sweating like water and refused to move a step forward.
“It’s almost time, kill them!”
Tang Zhen picked up the long spear in his hand and leaped down from his horse before charging towards the pursuers.
Although infantry did not have an advantage over cavalry, it also depended on the situation. Tang Zhen did not put these enemies in his eyes at all.
Iron head did the same. He held a horse-cutting saber full of chips and swung it with all his might with a grim smile, cutting the approaching warhorses and cavalrymen in two.
Those cavalrymen attacked together. Although they were clear that the trial-takers were unusually ferocious, they were confident that they could kill Tang Zhen and his partner by relying on their numbers.
Who would have expected that the following battle would be a one-sided slaughter. The tens of cavalrymen working together were actually not a match for Tang Zhen and his brother.
After killing the last cavalryman, the Tang Zhen duo packed up their supplies and continued to gallop into the distance.
This time around, they ran for nearly thirty li. A notification suddenly sounded in Tang Zhen’s ears after they had completely left the battlefield.
the third stage begins. Participants, please head to the Imperial City and assassinate the Emperor. Those who succeed will be qualified to compete for the child of destiny.
Tang Zhen coldly laughed after hearing the notification. He thought in his heart that this was indeed the case.
If they continued to fight on the battlefield, they would probably not receive any notifications until they died, and they would lose the right to continue participating in the trial.
This was a trap. If they followed the instructions, the end result would be obvious.
From the looks of it, the trial of the Wheel of Destiny was not only a test of one’s martial strength. At the same time, it also tested one’s ability to adapt to the situation. It was a pity that Tang Zhen did not realize this from the start and had wasted quite a lot of time.
However, with the lesson this time, Tang Zhen would definitely think twice before he encountered any trouble to avoid falling into the trap of the Wheel of Destiny again.
After knowing the next step of the mission, the two of them naturally went straight to the Imperial City. However, in this way, they had to change their clothes to avoid being investigated by people with ill intentions.
After choosing a dense forest by the road and throwing away all the conspicuous things on their bodies, the two of them took their personal weapons and set foot on the road to the Imperial City.
Not only did Tang Zhen and the others lose their weapons and armor, they could not even ride their warhorses. They could only walk.
This was because there was a branding iron mark on the horse’s butt. It was easy to see the flaw and expose their identity.
If there were no accidents, the trial-takers were now enemies with the world. It would be even more difficult for them to move after their identities were exposed.
On the way to the imperial capital, Tang Zhen had been thinking about the true purpose of this fate trial. Could it be that it was simply to kill the Emperor?
If that was the case, why would they go through so much trouble and just throw the trial-taker directly to their destination?
With hundreds of thousands of cultivators participating, even if it was an iron wall, they could tear it down directly!
Judging from the situation in the first two stages, the role played by the trial-takers should be that of a rebel army. Otherwise, there would not be requests to attack the city and assassinate the Emperor.
The rebel army had risen up, presumably to conquer the country and sit on the Dragon Throne, and then control the entire world.
The Destiny’s Child’s mission was to control the world. Of course, this kind of control was true control. It could make the world’s will submit, and then be controlled by the Wheel of Destiny.
After the control was complete, the rulers of this world would be the puppets of the Wheel of Destiny, and there would be no possibility of getting rid of it for their descendants.
In that case, was the Wheel of Fortune planning to use this mortal world to test the trial-takers ‘adaptability and see if anyone could learn their true purpose through the contents of the mission?
As long as one controlled the world, it was no different from assassinating an Emperor.
Although this deduction was a little arbitrary, it was not impossible, judging from how the Wheel of Destiny calculated the trial-takers.
Tang Zhen was certain that the path to the capital was filled with danger. There were many experts in the capital, and they were all waiting for the trial-takers to fall into their trap.
As for the forbidden Palace where the Emperor was located, it was an even more heavily guarded area. No matter how many cultivators went there, they would probably die there.
In a situation where his cultivation was sealed, it would be difficult for Tang Zhen to guarantee that he would be able to retreat in one piece when there were more than a hundred martial Dao experts. There was really no need for him to get involved in this mess.
“Iron head, what do you think of the Wheel of Fortune’s mission?”
Tang Zhen looked at iron head beside him and asked in a low voice.
hehe, you’re asking me for nothing. I’ve never used this brain of mine.
Iron head rubbed his head as he sneered at Tang Zhen.
I have an idea. Instead of going to the Imperial City to assassinate the Emperor, I’m going to do something else. Are you willing to go with me? ”
Iron head was stunned for a moment. He didn’t understand why Tang Zhen didn’t follow the mission requirements.
“I’ll go wherever you go. We’re family, and we know our own business. Anyway, I’ve never thought of becoming the son of fate. I participated in the trial because I didn’t want to leave any regrets.”
To the residents of Destiny Island, as long as they had the qualifications to cultivate, they would definitely not miss the trial of fate. This had already become their belief, and it seemed to be a matter of course.
Hearing iron head’s reply, Tang Zhen smiled,”Don’t worry. Although we’re not going straight to the capital, our ultimate goal is still there. It’s just that we’re going in a circle.”
After making up their mind, Tang Zhen and the other man walked in the opposite direction to avoid the chaos that was about to happen.
After the war in the plains, the surviving trial-takers would receive the quest notification and would definitely head to the imperial capital together. It would be inevitable for blood to rain and wind to rain on the road.
He only wanted to take a gamble. However, his ultimate goal was still to kill the Emperor. Even if it proved that his method was not feasible, Tang Zhen still had a chance to remedy it.
