Chapter 254 Manifesting Fear
Reading Settings
“Your camera is quite good.” The clown’s voice rang out again, his tone tinged with surprise and greed: “It’s mine now.”
"Come and take it if you dare," Cao Kun said, completely unconcerned.
Seeing Cao Kun effortlessly resolve these issues twice in a row, Jennifer felt a surge of courage and realized that these things weren't so scary after all.
So when these things appeared for the third time, Jennifer wasn't so scared anymore.
Even, one can face it directly.
When these things died for the third time, Jennifer felt an urge to kill a few of them herself.
But the fourth attack never came. Jennifer asked curiously, "Why isn't it happening?"
Cao Kun: "Because you're not afraid anymore."
Jennifer said thoughtfully, "I see."
There was a hint of pride in her voice.
"You are no longer afraid of these things," the clown's mocking voice came, "but fear is endless."
Small figures emerged from the darkness.
These figures are all Jennifer's child, Kay.
However, they are somewhat different.
Their bodies were covered with various scars, suffering injuries of different degrees and types.
Beside each of them stood another tall, cold figure, cruelly torturing them.
The screams of agony, pain, and helplessness echoed throughout the underground space.
Cries of "Mommy!" and "Save me!" could be heard continuously.
Jennifer's face turned deathly pale instantly, her whole body trembled uncontrollably, and she knelt weakly on the ground.
The clown exploited her deepest fear.
A mother can overcome her fear of monsters.
But I couldn't overcome my worries about my child.
Even though she knew that her real child was in Cao Kun's arms, she still couldn't shake off or overcome this fear.
This fear will always exist.
Even after their children have grown up, many mothers still cannot shake this feeling.
These tormented figures quickly approached Cao Kun and his companion.
Once they get close, it's like letting the Joker's power get close.
Cao Kun sighed inwardly, "Your shamelessness has exceeded my expectations."
The clown chuckled and said, "That only proves your incompetence."
As they spoke, even more monsters appeared from the darkness.
Some monsters are pure darkness.
Some monsters have terrifying sharp teeth and claws.
But more often, they were clowns with exaggerated makeup.
These are the fears of Jennifer's child, Kay.
The clown not only embodies Jennifer's fear, but also the fear of her child.
Cao Kun took out his camera and snapped a picture.
Soon, all of these things were reduced to ashes.
But not long after, these things reappeared.
This is a fear that a mother cannot overcome, and even more so, a fear that a child cannot overcome.
As long as fear exists, the Joker can manifest infinitely, exhausting all of Cao Kun's power and methods.
Cao Kun stopped wasting time with the clown. With a wave of his hand, two Yin talismans appeared and stuck to Jennifer and Kay.
Jennifer's body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground, falling into a deep sleep just like Kay.
"It's no use. The fear doesn't disappear when you fall into a coma; it will remain."
The clown's tone carried a hint of smugness.
They seemed quite pleased to see a strongman like Cao Kun suffer a loss.
"That prevents you from exploiting their fears."
Cao Kun placed the child next to Jennifer, then reached into his pocket and pulled out a palm-sized mirror.
Bloody words appeared on the mirror: "Master, please give me your orders."
Cao Kun ignored them and pointed the mirror at Jennifer and her child.
The next moment, all the fear created by the clown vanished.
How could that be?
The clown was astonished: "Why can't I see their fear anymore?"
Cao Kun said calmly, "If you can't see it, don't hide. Come out."
The clown quickly adjusted his mindset: "It doesn't matter, I can't see them, but I can see you."
Cao Kun's expression immediately turned strange: "You want to materialize my fear?"
Joker: "Your fear is indeed difficult to materialize, but it's not impossible."
The next moment...
boom!
A streak of crimson lightning struck, followed by a piercing scream echoing through the darkness.
Cao Kun suddenly couldn't sense the clown's presence anymore; it was as if the clown had simply died.
However, Cao Kun did not hear any notification sound.
"Did it kill itself, so the system didn't give me a reward?"
Just as Cao Kun had this thought, he sensed the clown's presence again, only this time it was weaker than before.
"What is this thing?" the clown exclaimed angrily. "How can it be so terrifying?"
Seeing that the clown was still alive, Cao Kun was overjoyed: "You dared to manifest the Heavenly Movement, your courage is indeed extraordinary."
What was Cao Kun afraid of?
At his current level, the most obvious thing he fears is the Heavenly Tribulation.
The Joker cannot manifest other, deeper fears.
Of course, the tribulation manifested by the Joker is not a real tribulation.
Otherwise, the Joker would be completely destroyed and would have no chance of being resurrected.
Cao Kun stepped into the darkness: "Stop hiding, come out."
"Since you're so eager to die, then so be it."
Thump thump thump...
The ground trembled, and something resembling a giant spider emerged from the darkness.
This thing is at least 5 meters tall, with a clown-like body and multiple segmented limbs like a spider.
Each of its segments is like a mantis's sickle, appearing extremely sharp.
It moved at an extremely fast speed, causing the ground to tremble continuously.
Cao Kun had just taken a picture of it, and before the image could even appear, the clown-shaped giant spider had already arrived in front of him.
Cao Kun drew his eight-sided sword and slashed out, colliding with one of the clown's limbs.
The limbs broke off instantly, but Cao Kun also noticed a tiny, barely noticeable notch on the Han Eight-Sided Sword.
Cao Kun quickly put it away.
The strength of the Han Eight-Sided Sword lies in its murderous aura; it is indeed no match for this kind of physical monster in a head-on confrontation.
With a wave of his hand, the three puppets landed and instantly transformed into three tall figures.
A creature entirely black with an iron-black body, standing over 1.9 meters tall, and possessing only one arm.
A creature with a silvery tinge of gold, over two meters tall, and bald.
A creature entirely made of silver, also over two meters tall, but topped with a head shaped like a blue gourd lamp.
These were Cao Kun's three refined corpses.
The three refining corpses can finally unleash their power against this physical monster.
"Tear it to pieces."
As soon as Cao Kun pointed, the three refined corpses pounced on the giant spider clown.
Bang bang bang...
Ta-da!
A series of metallic clanging sounds immediately rang out.
Meanwhile, the clown's screams and roars could be heard from time to time.
