Chapter 244: The Kill
Chapter 244: The Kill
Fang Che raced through the cold night wind, heading full speed towards the destination conveyed by the Golden Horned Dragon.
The wind was biting and bone-chilling.
He didn't know what he was feeling inside, only that his emotions were as tangled as a chaotic mess.
Ren Chang was usually silent, rarely speaking throughout the day, and Fang Che would immediately go out on patrol after arriving, leaving almost no impression.
The only memorable thing he said was one sentence.
"Today has passed again."
This was a phrase Ren Chang would say every day.
So much so that as soon as Ren Chang uttered these words, those still in the hall would begin preparing for their next shift.
When Ren Chang said this with a smile, it would bring joy to everyone's hearts.
As soon as Ren Chang stood up and opened his mouth, several people would follow his lead, shouting, "Today has passed again!"
Later, after learning of Ren Chang's situation, Fang Che somewhat understood him, realizing that each day was a torment for him.
But today, his torment had come to an end.
So, in the end, he asked, "Has today passed?"
Fang Che replied, "It has!"
He felt so relieved that he was even happy.
Perhaps what he really wanted to ask was, "Has this life passed?"
Good, at least in this life, he could still make a contribution, and it would be meaningful!
As Fang Che raced through the piercing cold wind, he felt his heart burning with bloodlust.
His heart ached as the blood within him raged.
Ahead, there was an abandoned temple, and inside, a white-clad figure was curled up, a sinister smile on his face.
He didn't hesitate.
But after arriving at the White Cloud Continent, he had fought once, barely escaped with severe injuries.
He desperately needed to suck human blood and life force to heal.
After enduring until nightfall, and specifically waiting until midnight, he caught a person to suck blood from, but was immediately discovered by an old man.
And this old man was so fearless of death!
He had barely taken a few sips of blood when the old man arrived. Thinking of this, his teeth itched with hatred.
His injuries were still severe, and after this incident, he needed to find another person to suck blood from, and one person might not be enough. If it were the blood of an unmarried maiden, it should be sufficient...
As he was thinking this, he suddenly felt a powerful aura rushing towards him from afar, at an astonishing speed.
It probably wasn't aimed at me, right?
My whereabouts shouldn't have been discovered.
Just as he thought this, a blade of light slashed through the temple's roof, like a thunderbolt, slicing towards him.
He cried out in shock, drew his sword to block, and was sent flying with a loud bang, crashing through the roof and falling dozens of zhang away, his insides burning.
He shouted, "Misunderstanding! I'm not from the Demon Sect..."
Fang Che's second strike had already fallen madly.
The white-clad man spewed blood.
The third strike, his sword broke, and his arm was severed!
Swish!
The fourth strike, the man desperately tried to escape, but the blade of light cut off his legs.
The fifth strike, his head rolled away.
Throughout the entire process, Fang Che didn't utter a word.
He flew by like lightning, grabbing the still-falling head with one hand. With a kick, the headless corpse of the white-clad man was sent flying, and he caught it again.
Then, holding the corpse in one hand and the head in the other, he rushed back.
Blood drenched the scene, constantly dripping from the corpse's wounds, but Fang Che paid it no mind, letting the blood flow like that of a slaughtered chicken.
You came to the White Cloud Continent to suck blood, so I'll let your blood drench the White Cloud Continent!
On their way back, they encountered several Guardian Pavilion members searching in their direction.
"Fang Zhi Shi?"
"It's me. The demon Ren Chang has been killed by me. Let's go back to perform a blood sacrifice!"
"Thank you, Fang Zhi Shi."
The group was overjoyed and followed Fang Che back at full speed.
At the scene, seven or eight people had gathered, including a coroner carefully restoring Ren Chang's body.
Fang Che's body descended with a whoosh.
"Ren Chang, the demon you discovered has been killed by me!"
"Your efforts were not in vain. The White Cloud Continent will always remember you!"
"Ren Chang, today has finally passed."
Ren Chang lay on the ground, a faint smile remaining on his pale face.
It seemed as if he was saying, "It was worth it."
Kong Xiang leaned closely by his side.
Her face was serene and happy.
"Salute, and send the hero back in glory!"
Thirteen people, including the coroner, stood straight and tall, then bowed together.
"May we meet again in the next life! May you, in your next life, pluck the flower while it blooms, leaving no regrets."
...
They returned to Scholar's Residence.
Fang Che felt exhausted.
It wasn't physical exhaustion, but mental fatigue.
He stood atop Scholar's Residence, gazing at the dark night with its flickering lights from ten thousand families, silently sighing in his heart.
Beneath this peaceful night, how many demons were hidden?
How could they be thoroughly eliminated?
He stood silently, as the energy of heaven and earth continuously infused his body, the power of the Water Cloud Fruit still in effect.
The surging spiritual energy and battle insights from the intense battles cycled endlessly in his mind.
If heaven had eyes, who among the evil people in this world could escape?
Suddenly, he thought of the first strike of the Heaven-Hating Blade Technique.
Heaven Hating Eyeless.
Suddenly, a surge of fierce and sinister energy erupted from his body.
It charged towards the starry sky.
The torrent was unstoppable.
And in this moment, a lock within his body shattered, and a torrent of spiritual energy rushed in like a mighty river.
Hero Rank Second Level!
In the starry night sky, the spiritual energy, invisible to the naked eye, seemed to form a Milky Way, pouring madly into Fang Che's body.
In his Energy Core, the spiritual energy surged, mist swirling, becoming denser and denser...
An hour later.
In the east, a faint purple aura appeared in the sky.
Fang Che took a deep breath, exhaling slowly, and his spiritual energy flowed out like a long dragon, instantly circling the entire courtyard before being drawn back into his body.
Opening his eyes, malevolent aura overflowed from them.
"Just one word: kill!"
...
In the vast mountains, snow blanketed the land.
Mo Gan Yun and his three companions were desperately fending off a powerful demon beast, each of them wounded and in a sorry state.
The blood of humans and demons splattered across the snowy ground, covering an area of several dozen zhang.
This demon beast was incredibly strong, and during the intense battle, each of the four had faced life-threatening situations over a dozen times. Fortunately, they supported each other, barely managing to escape. Now, both the humans and the demon beast were exhausted.
Yu Zhong Ge roared, "Give it one last push! Take some elixir to boost your strength and kill this demon beast! The Crimson Dew Spirit Fruit it's guarding will be ours!"
The four of them felt a surge of energy.
They each took out an elixir and swallowed it before charging forward again.
They had elixirs, but the demon beast did not.
...
A moment later, they stood guard over the demon beast's corpse, each of them scarred but satisfied, chewing on a spirit fruit.
"Yu Zhong Ge, your luck is just too damn good!" Mo Gan Yun exclaimed with envy.
On this mission, Yu Zhong Ge was responsible for finding the route, and it had to be said that his luck was simply heaven-defying.
He led the group through the snowy mountains, but the heavy snowfall had turned the entire mountain into a flat plain, making it impossible to discern the ravines. They could only rely on luck, and suddenly, one of them slipped and fell into a ravine.
The others quickly went down to help, and to their surprise, they discovered a Vitalizing Vine at the bottom of the ravine.
Consuming it would allow them to nurture their meridians for half a year.
After sharing the vine, they fought and defeated several demon beasts. Unfortunately, Yu Zhong Ge was bitten by a Snowground Wind, a type of venomous snake that was immune to the cold and highly poisonous. However, its gallbladder was a rare medicinal ingredient!
Walking in the snowy land was as light and swift as the wind.
This poison was not a big deal for Yu Zhong Ge, but he was furious and pursued the Snowground Wind.
As a result, the four of them rushed into a Snake Valley filled with Snowground Winds. After slaying countless snakes of various sizes, they discovered a cave in the valley with two Dragon Saliva Fruits that could nurture their meridians and increase their cultivation!
The four of them shared the fruits.
After two uneventful days, Yu Zhong Ge led the other three to find a cave to rest. Surprisingly, they stumbled upon the lair of a powerful demon beast, which contained the Crimson Dew Spirit Fruit!
Mo Gan Yun and the others had only read about such things in novels, never expecting to encounter such good fortune themselves.
But this time, following Yu Zhong Ge, they truly opened their eyes to a whole new world!
His luck was so heaven-defying that he was like a living treasure detector.
Mo Gan Yun felt like he had truly broadened his horizons.
It was so impressive.
Jing Shuang Gao muttered to himself on the side.
Mo Gan Yun approached and heard Jing Shuang Gao questioning life, grumbling, "...This Yu Zhong Ge must have been a treasure-seeking mouse in his past life..."
...
In contrast to the harsh cold on one side, the other side was scorching hot, hot enough to melt gold.
Deep within the mountain, a river of molten lava flowed.
Beside the lava river, a figure stood like a flame—it was Hu Chu Ran.
His body was covered in scars, making it difficult to recognize his original appearance.
"Hu Chu Ran, when you can enter this river and find the Fire Spirit Fruit, eat it, and then you can go out for revenge."
A strange voice, like burning flames, suddenly echoed.
"If you fail, you will burn to death here."
After this sentence, several fire-red snakes suddenly flew out of the lava river and pounced on Hu Chu Ran.
Hu Chu Ran roared, grabbing one of the snakes. His skin sizzled as it burned, but he quickly used a strange white blade to slice open the snake and swallow its gallbladder.
Other snakes had already bitten him, and his body was on fire.
However, Hu Chu Ran seemed unaffected. He grabbed the writhing snakes, dissected them, and ate their gallbladders.
Then, he peeled off the snake skins and began eating the fiery red snake meat.
This was his food.
In his eyes, an extreme hatred flickered.
"Fang Che! Mo Gan Yun! Ding Jue Ran!"
"Wait! Wait for us!"
...
In the early morning, the Guardian Pavilion was holding a meeting.
"In the past six days, there have been ninety-plus battles, and the Guardian Pavilion has lost twenty-two men."
Song Yidao's expression turned solemn. "We've slain thirty-five demon sect demons."
He scanned the room and found Fang Che, continuing, "Among them, Fang Zhi Shi deserves special praise. He alone killed seventeen demons, earning him six thousand six hundred merit points!"
"For this, Fang Zhi Shi is to be commended."
"The day after tomorrow, we will hold a collective memorial for our fallen comrades."
"Following the usual practice, the first wave has passed, and the remaining demon sect demons have successfully infiltrated. I hope everyone will remain vigilant and continue to capture and eliminate these demons, one by one!"
"May all our comrades be safe!"
"Comrades, what does it mean to be a Guardian? Being a Guardian is not a privilege, nor is it a life of ease!"
"The lights of ten thousand families..."
"...rest on our shoulders!"
"The lives of ten thousand families..."
"...rest on our bodies!"
"Meeting adjourned!"
...
