205: The King of Fate

“Who are you? Why are you thanking me?” Pan Han looked at the person in front of him and asked loudly.

The person slowly emerged from the shadows, revealing an old man. Aside from his slightly grayish complexion, he was no different from an ordinary person!

He was dressed in a white robe, with a benevolent face and a magnificent crown on his head.

The old man gazed at Pan Han with gentle eyes and smiled, “Young man, I am the guardian of the seventy-seventh floor, the King of Destiny.”

“King of Destiny? Is he very impressive?”

“How impressive I am depends on what you did before.”

“What do you mean?” A sudden ominous premonition surged in Pan Han’s heart.

“On the previous nine floors, were all the people who prayed killed?” The King of Destiny asked back kindly.

“Yes, what about it?”

“Do you remember what they said?”

“If I spared them, I would achieve happiness,” Pan Han blurted out. He had heard it countless times on the previous floors.

“Then did you do as they said?”

“Nonsense! If I had, would you still see me?” Pan Han scoffed. These old guys just liked to act all mysterious.

“Very good, then you won’t be happy!” The King of Destiny said, shaking his white robe to reveal his body.

His body inside emitted dense black energy, and countless small faces flickered on him, appearing and disappearing!

As the black energy appeared, the King of Destiny suddenly unleashed an immensely powerful pressure, bringing with it a chilling, foul, and terrifying sensation that assailed the heart.

Pan Han was greatly alarmed, retreating several steps before he could barely steady himself.

Exaggerated!

Shocking!

Absolutely ridiculous!

How could he be so strong? The zombies and mutated beasts from the previous sixty-plus floors combined were not as strong as this old man!

The oppressive feeling was overwhelming!

Ding! Bracelet notification: 100,000 points for the zombies on this floor!

“He is indeed the strongest!”

“Kid! If you hadn’t killed those supplicants just now, you might have had a chance to get out alive. But now, you have no chance.” The black energy around the old man grew denser and denser, and the small faces around him began to show ferocious expressions.

“Noisy.” Pan Han directly pulled out his submachine gun and fired a burst at the old man.

Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang!

The old man didn’t dodge at all, merely shielding his eyes slightly with his arm, letting the bullets hit his body.

The small faces that were hit let out painful wails and then quickly disappeared.

But as soon as one disappeared, another distorted face immediately replaced it.

“How strange! Is this a demonic cultivator?” This thought actually popped into Pan Han’s mind.

However, Pan Han naturally didn’t expect to defeat him with just a submachine gun.

After all, a high-level zombie worth 100,000 points couldn’t be defeated so easily.

“Is that all you’ve got?” The King of Destiny burst into laughter.

“Heh heh, what do you think?” Pan Han said no more, directly pulling out two grenades and throwing them out.

Two loud explosions.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the King of Destiny remained unmoving!

The only change was that some small faces disappeared, replaced by others.

“Indeed, quite interesting! Old man, tell me the truth, what is your relationship with those supplicants on the floors below?” Pan Han had roughly guessed, but he still needed the other party to say it himself.

“Not bad, your mind is still working. Then I’ll tell you, those supplicants downstairs, their hearts are connected to mine. If you didn’t have killing intent, their malevolent energy wouldn’t transfer to me.” The King of Destiny didn’t hide anything, as if he was happy to inform Pan Han.

“What happens if it transfers to you?”

“If you weren’t greedy for points and came directly to me, I might not even be able to defeat you with a single finger. But the more you kill, the more malevolent energy I accumulate, and the stronger my abilities become. Now, I have become a complete entity, and you can no longer have any chance!”

“No wonder the supplicants downstairs all said that if I didn’t kill them, I would achieve happiness! So that’s what they were waiting for!” Pan Han finally understood what was going on.

Pan Han’s expression was solemn; he realized he had fallen into a vicious cycle. The King of Destiny used the malevolent energy of those supplicants to accumulate power, becoming stronger and stronger, while Pan Han’s strength had not increased accordingly.

Moreover, this opponent was someone he had cultivated himself!

Damn it, what a loss!

However, after a brief few seconds, Pan Han instantly cleared his mind. He wasn’t someone to be scared easily!

Who’s capable and who’s not, you only know once you fight!

He threw the grenades again, but this time he didn’t directly blast the King of Destiny; instead, he threw them at the surrounding walls and floor.

As the explosions rang out, the entire room was filled with smoke, dust, and debris.

The King of Destiny’s figure disappeared for a moment in the smoke, and Pan Han quickly seized the opportunity, pouncing on him with astonishing speed.

His rifle aimed at the King of Destiny, firing a volley of bullets.

However, when the smoke cleared, Pan Han was surprised to find that the King of Destiny had vanished without a trace.

“Damn it!” Pan Han secretly gritted his teeth. He hadn’t expected the King of Destiny to be so cunning, capable of dodging his attack in an instant.

Just then, a cold laugh came from behind Pan Han.

He sharply turned his head, only to see the King of Destiny had appeared behind him, a hand wreathed in black energy reaching towards his chest.

A chill ran through Pan Han’s heart. He immediately retreated, trying to evade the King of Destiny’s attack.

However, the opponent’s palm was like a demonic claw, gripping Pan Han’s chest tightly.

Dark power instantly surged into Pan Han’s body, and he felt an immense sense of oppression and pain assail his heart.

He struggled to resist, but the dark power grew stronger and stronger, as if it wanted to completely devour him.

The small faces on the King of Destiny’s body all scrambled forward, eager to get to Pan Han, wanting to eat his flesh and drink his blood. The revenge for being killed downstairs was now to be exacted!

Pan Han wanted to dodge backward, but his body felt weak and unresponsive! Moreover, he felt his internal energy rapidly draining!

Just before Pan Han was about to lose consciousness, he used his last shred of mental power to retrieve the sleeve arrows from his spatial storage.

After binding them to his arm, he instantly fired three cold arrows.

Puff, puff, puff! All three arrows struck the King of Destiny’s cheek.

“Ow!” The King of Destiny cried out in pain, his hands naturally loosened, and the black energy also withdrew from Pan Han’s body.

The small faces on his body showed a wave of pain, some even weeping with resentment; they had almost bitten Pan Han.

Pan Han’s consciousness instantly returned, and his body was no longer stiff and numb. He quickly ran backward.

He ran for over thirty meters before stopping, and when he turned around again, he had already raised his six-barrel machine gun!

Meanwhile, the King of Destiny, enduring the severe pain, pulled out the three cold arrows.

A bizarre scene unfolded: not a drop of blood flowed from the wounds, and instead, the wounds healed rapidly!

“Heretical methods!” The King of Destiny looked at the cold arrows, twisted them with one hand, and easily broke them.

Immediately after, he casually flicked the arrowheads towards Pan Han!

Pan Han instantly aimed, fired, and shot them down! All in one fluid motion!

“Since that’s the case, then I’ll have a good play with you!” The King of Destiny saw the machine gun in Pan Han’s hand and knew he wasn’t easy to deal with!

So, he gathered his thoughts, preparing to unleash his power!
