"You win this round."
The old man frowned as he looked at Ye Fan's bloody left hand.
The game that Ye Fan had set up was a sure-win game.
If he guessed an odd number, Ye Fan would break one of his fingers and turn it into an even number. If he guessed an even number, Ye Fan would not have to do anything and would win the round immediately!
In short, he would lose no matter how he guessed!
This move was too clever.
Even though it seemed a little shameless.
"I've embarrassed myself in front of you." Ye Fan smiled as he took out a handkerchief and wrapped it around his entire left hand.
In an instant, the snow-white handkerchief was stained red with blood.
He had already lost two out of the three rounds that the old man had played.
He could not afford to lose any of the three rounds!
That was why he came up with this bet.
"Sir, it's time for the second round." The old man looked up at Ye Fan and said.
"Senior, please continue to guess my left hand for the second round." Ye Fan smiled and said to the old man, "How many fingers do I have? Is it single or double?"
The old man immediately frowned when he heard that.
"Why? Are you going to break your own fingers? "The old man asked Ye Fan in return." If you play the same trick again, you'll be a little shameless. "
If this went on, Ye Fan would only need to break three fingers at most and he would win the three rounds easily!
"Senior, don't worry." Ye Fan smiled and said to the old man, "This time, I won't play the same trick again and break my own fingers."
"Won't play the same trick again?" The old man was puzzled. "Are you serious?"
"If I play the same trick again, it'll be my loss," Ye Fan said with a smile.
The old man was puzzled when he heard that.
He could not guess Ye Fan's intentions at all.
"Senior, please."
Ye Fan extended his bandaged left hand in front of the old man and said with a smile.
The old man lowered his head and looked at Ye Fan's injured left hand, then looked up at Ye Fan's smiling face. He didn't know how to guess.
"Senior, do I only have one or two fingers on my left hand?" Ye Fan asked.
"Two." The old man pondered for a moment and answered.
Since this young man had promised not to play the same trick again, he would answer truthfully.
It was impossible for that brat's severed finger to grow back.
The old man thought to himself.
Unfortunately, he guessed wrong.
Ye Fan's severed finger could really grow back!
"Senior, you guessed wrong again this time." After the old man finished speaking, Ye Fan smiled.
"Wrong again?" The old man was shocked. "How is that possible?"
Ye Fan smiled but didn't say anything.
He smiled as he slowly unwrapped the bloody handkerchief in his left hand.
When the handkerchief was completely unwrapped, the old man's expression changed drastically. He was dumbfounded!
At this time, Ye Fan's left hand had completely recovered. All five fingers were intact, and there wasn't a single wound!
"Di … Rebirth with a drop of blood!" The old man exclaimed. "You … you actually … actually entered the Blood Demon Pool …"
He knew that Ye Fan already had the power of the Heavenly Demon, but he never expected that Ye Fan would enter the Blood Demon Pool!
Among the Five Great Demonic Pools, the Blood Demon Pool was the most domineering!
The power of the Heavenly Demon obtained from the Blood Demon Pool completely suppressed the power of the other Four Great Demonic Pools!
Its power was so strong that it could rebirth with a drop of blood and regenerate bones!
It was said that apart from the Demonic Realm's ancestor and the Demonic Realm's supreme being, no one could enter the Blood Demon Pool!
However, this young man in front of him directly broke this ancient legend and obtained the power of the Blood Demon!
"Senior is right." Ye Fan smiled and said to the old man, "When I was in the Night Demon Cave, I indeed entered the Blood Demon Pool."
Ye Fan said as he retracted his left hand.
"Amazing! Amazing! "
After hearing Ye Fan's words, the old man praised him twice in a row.
"The power of the Blood Demon Pool's demonic spirit is unprecedented. Apart from the Demonic Realm's ancestor and the Demonic Realm's supreme being, no one can control this power," the old man said to Ye Fan. "Mister's talent is unparalleled. You are indeed worthy of the name Eldritch."
"Senior is too kind." Ye Fan smiled.
"You entered the Blood Demon Pool and obtained the power of the Heavenly Demon. I believe that Tenmoni must have conferred you a title, right?" the old man asked Ye Fan. "You must be at least at the level of a Guardian."
"Senior's guess is right. The Demon Lord thinks highly of this junior." Ye Fan smiled and replied to the old man. "I won't hide it from Senior. This junior is now the monarch of the Demonic Realm."
"The … the monarch of the Demonic Realm?" the old man said in shock.
Ye Fan nodded.
"Do you know that ever since the Demonic Ancestor created the Demonic Realm, the position of Demonic Monarch has always been empty and no one can fill it?" the old man asked Ye Fan with a serious expression.
"This junior knows," Ye Fan replied.
Tenmoni had mentioned this to him before.
"Do you know why this position has always been empty?" the old man asked Ye Fan again.
"This junior knows," Ye Fan answered the old man. "It's because apart from the Demonic Ancestor and the Demon Lord, no one can enter the Blood Demon Pool."
"That's only one of the reasons," the old man said meaningfully.
"One of the reasons?" Ye Fan frowned and asked the old man.
"To tell you the truth, the position of Demonic Monarch that you are holding now was specially reserved for you by the Demonic Ancestor."
The old man's words were shocking!
"W-what? The Demonic … Demonic Ancestor reserved it for me? "
As soon as the old man said that, Ye Fan's eyes widened in shock. He was dumbfounded!
"That's right." The old man nodded and replied, "Back then, when the Demonic Ancestor established the position of Demonic Monarch, someone asked the Demonic Ancestor why he did so. After all, in the Demonic World, there were Demonic Sovereigns and Guardian Demon Generals. There was no need to establish the position of Demonic Monarch at all. However, after hearing the Demonic Ancestor's words, no one present had any objections. "
"What did the Demonic Ancestor say?" Ye Fan asked.
"The Demonic Ancestor said that there was only one person who could hold the position of Demonic Monarch in the future." The old man looked at Ye Fan and said, "Only with this person as the Demonic Monarch, the Demonic World would not be destroyed in the future. It could even go on the right path."
Ye Fan listened quietly without saying a word.
"Back then, someone asked the Demonic Ancestor who this person was, what his surname was, and why he had the ability to turn the tide," the old man continued. "The Demonic Ancestor smiled after hearing that and did not answer. He only extended his hand and pointed at Ye Kong from afar. That was all. "
As the old man spoke, he raised his head and looked at Ye Kong.
At this time, the sky had not yet brightened, but one could see the crescent moon hanging like a hook in Ye Kong's sky. It was as bright as snow, cold and proud.
Ye Fan furrowed his brows and remained silent.
Obviously, the person the Demonic Ancestor had prophesied back then was none other than himself!
No wonder the Demonic World wanted to establish the position of Demonic Monarch. No wonder Tenmoni would confer him the title of Demonic Monarch. It turned out that there was such a relationship between him and the Demonic World!
In addition, he was even more interested in this mysterious old man in front of him!
This person was able to know about ancient matters and was able to see them clearly. He was definitely not an ordinary spiritual being!
"This old man once guessed the identity of the Demonic Monarch, but never would I have thought that it would be you, Mr. Eldritch." The old man turned to look at Ye Fan and said with bright eyes.
"I won't hide it from Senior. Right now, I only want to gather the patterns of the Nine Cauldrons, comprehend the ancient secret technique, and save my beloved wife from suffering. As for the rest, I have no interest at all. As long as I can save my beloved wife, I am willing to pay any price, even death. " Ye Fan calmly said to the old man, "Senior may not know, but right now, I am neither a human nor a demon. I am entangled with emotions, entangled with love and hate. The pain I feel is something that others cannot understand."
Ye Fan said the words that he had suppressed in his heart for a long time.
Some words could only be said to strangers.
To people he was familiar with, he would not be able to say it.
"You are not even afraid of death, so why are you afraid of this pain?" The old man asked Ye Fan.
"I am not afraid of death," Ye Fan slowly said, "What I am afraid of is living a life that is worse than death."
The old man frowned after hearing this.
It was said that Eldritch was ruthless and unruly. Who would have thought that this person was actually such an infatuated person!
"You are now tied with this old man," the old man comforted Ye Fan with a smile, "As long as you win one more round, you will be able to obtain the location of the Divine Cauldron. Tell me, what do you want to compete in this third round? You won't be guessing fingers again, right? "
"In this last round, we will not compete in cultivation, nor will we guess fingers," Ye Fan said to the old man, "For this round, we will compete in luck."
"Compete in luck?" The old man smiled and asked Ye Fan.
"That's right, compete in luck," Ye Fan replied.
"That sounds interesting," the old man said with a smile, "How do you want to compete, sir?"
"It's very simple, we will compete with copper coins."
As Ye Fan spoke, his five fingers curled into claws, and he sucked at the copper coin embedded in the withered tree!
Pa!
On the withered tree, a copper coin automatically popped out and flew into Ye Fan's hand.
"Let's make it simple, we will guess the heads and tails of the copper coin," Ye Fan said to the old man, "I will throw the copper coin into the air and let it fall freely. Before the copper coin lands, you will say whether the copper coin is heads or tails. If you guess correctly, you win, if you guess incorrectly, I win. Of course, during the entire process, I will not use any of my spiritual power. This is only fair. "
"Simple and clear," the old man nodded and smiled, "However, aren't you afraid of taking a risk by doing this? What if you lose? "
"To be honest, in the previous two rounds, I won somewhat unfairly," Ye Fan said honestly to the old man, "This time, I want to ask the will of the heavens and see what they think."
The old man frowned and did not speak.
"Even if I lose this round, it will only be a draw between you and me. I still have the opportunity to ask for advice from you," Ye Fan continued.
"Mister, you are a straightforward person and I admire you for that." The old man said to Ye Fan. "If that's the case, then please begin."
Ye Fan smiled and gently flicked the copper coin in his hand!
Hum …
With a crisp sound, the copper coin in Ye Fan's hand spun and flew into the air!
The two of them looked up at the sky.
Hum …
After flying several hundred feet in the air, the copper coin began to fall rapidly!
As the copper coin fell, Ye Fan looked at the old man and asked, "Sir, is it a pattern or an ancient seal?"
This copper coin was an ancient coin from the Qin Dynasty. One side was a pattern, while the other side was an ancient seal.
"Pattern."
Looking at the copper coin that was tumbling in the air, the old man answered.
Whoosh!
