Chapter 436: The Centipede Joins In [Part 2]

Yan Bei Han turned to Little Bear with a dispirited look, and said with a sigh, "Little thing, what on earth did you do?"

She was so exasperated that she was on the verge of losing it.

Little Bear innocently stuck out her tongue, licked her hand, happily squatted, and started picking a small flower to play with.

She was telling Yan Bei Han through her actions: None of this matters! I don't care at all!

"..."

Yan Bei Han was speechless.

You may be indifferent, but the trouble you've caused, we both have to deal with!

For the next half a year, the two of them spent their days in a cycle of pursuit and escape, on average, once every ten days. Even Fang Che was surprised by this.

It was beyond his imagination that there could be so many snakes in the Yin Yang Realm.

The giant python seemed to be the same ones, which wasn't unusual, but the small snakes... from chopstick-sized to tub-sized, there were just too many of them.

"Conservatively speaking, I've killed at least a trillion!" Yan Bei Han said with killing intent.

"Hehe..."

Fang Che, who had killed even more snakes than Yan Bei Han, nonchalantly rolled his eyes.

"This is indeed strange..."

Yan Bei Han muttered to herself, "Why hasn't my killing intent become stronger? Is it because of the Yin Yang Realm, or is it due to the Compassionate Heart Wood?"

It was common knowledge that one of the unique characteristics of having the Five Spirit Gu was that as one killed more, their bloodlust would intensify, and they would become increasingly violent.

This was also one of the main reasons why the Only Righteous Sect wasn't worried about betrayal: Guardians would never accept such a demonic leader who wanted to kill everyone. Because their innate bloodlust was irreversible.

Moreover, as their bloodlust intensified, they could only satisfy themselves by killing more, but the more they killed, the stronger their bloodlust would become.

It was a vicious cycle.

Generally, the lower-level members of the Only Righteous Sect didn't care about this, only the higher-ups or those with insight would consciously control it and actively seek ways to dissipate the negative energy.

Although Yan Bei Han was killing snakes, they were still living beings, and naturally, negative energy would be produced.

Although a single snake generated very little negative energy, killing hundreds of billions of them without any reaction was surprising even to Yan Bei Han herself.

Was it because of the Yin Yang Realm, or was it due to the Compassionate Heart Wood of Dongfang Sanyi?

On the side, Fang Che was intently studying a small grass.

He inwardly rolled his eyes.

Damn, do you still want to increase your bloodlust? Anyway, whether it's the Yin Yang Realm or the Compassionate Heart Wood, I don't know, but I do know that during this period, the Golden Horned Serpent has devoured all the death energy.

Its body was about to achieve substantialization!

Moreover, once its invisibility was dispelled, it would shine with golden light! This meant that upon substantialization, it would directly become a golden body!

This made the Golden Horned Serpent ecstatic.

It must be said that ever since the Golden Horned Serpent entered this place, it was like a dragon entering the ocean and a tiger entering the mountains; it had found a place to abundantly provide nourishment.

Especially after Little Bear arrived, it became a paradise for the Golden Horned Serpent!

As long as a battle began, there would be billions of deaths every day.

After devouring for a few days, it still had several days to digest.

Once it had almost finished digesting and absorbing, another batch would arrive for a relay—this treatment was something it had always dreamed of!

It was beyond even its wildest dreams!

Thinking about its previous master in its past life, it followed and followed, and eventually, it lost its life; then, looking at its current master, the difference was stark!

If it had died a few years earlier... wouldn't it have already become a golden-bodied dragon by now?

At this thought, the Golden Horned Serpent's heart burned with passion, and it became even more obedient to Fang Che.

"Fang Che, you're not slow in your progress."

Yan Bei Han looked at Fang Che with ill intentions, "Are you already at the Warlord Third Rank?"

Fang Che grimaced and surrendered, "Save some energy for killing snakes, okay? You're already at the peak of the Marquis Second Rank, so please don't hit me anymore. It doesn't give you any pleasure, does it?"

During this half a year, Fang Che had become thoroughly depressed.

His techniques and cultivation were no longer inferior, but the absolute suppression of strength made him miserable.

Yan Bei Han always maintained a one-tier higher cultivation level than him, with an absolute advantage of nine sub-tiers. Moreover, this gap was only widening!

The resources in the spatial ring that Fang Che brought were simply too abundant! Fang Che couldn't compare at all.

Originally, they were only seven sub-tiers apart, but now the gap was widening.

This made Fang Che realize that it wasn't just a matter of resources; even in terms of talent, Yan Bei Han was absolutely no less than anyone else! She was among the very best in the entire continent!

"That won't do! Beating you is still quite enjoyable!"

How could Yan Bei Han agree to Fang Che's suggestion? For her, during this period, the most satisfying and happiest thing was sparring with Fang Che—beating him up!

Every time she beat him up, she felt incredibly fulfilled.

I'll let you hide! Let you hide! Hide, hide, hide!

The more you hide, the more it suits me! Let this girl vent her anger!

The feeling of intellectual superiority from 'I know who he is, but he doesn't know who I am,' and the satisfaction of 'playing dumb while knowing the truth' and 'beating a fool while being smart'...

Especially since this fool was pretending to be stupid... if he had just admitted it honestly and stopped hiding, his situation could have improved significantly.

And he really couldn't bring himself to hit him hard.

But he refused to expose himself, giving her the perfect opportunity.

I'm hitting you for being so clueless!

Yan Bei Han was delighted because, in their current situation, Fang Che was essentially 'faking it and becoming a fool', 'pretending to be smart but actually being a big idiot'. Yan Bei Han looked at Fang Che, knowing full well that this was all an act, yet this actor was still taking it seriously...

Thinking of how this bastard was currently in the Incubation to Divinity Program, stealing her things, and acting all high and mighty.

Then thinking of how this bastard had been constantly insulting her for so long.

Then thinking of how this guy had been playing tricks for so long.

Then thinking...

Yan Bei Han exhaled in relief, feeling exhilarated once more.

So refreshing!

"Come on! Let's spar!"

Bang bang bang...

Yan Bei Han once again enjoyed a delightful experience. She was in high spirits and feeling great! With her hands behind her back, she strolled, fixing her clothes and hair, looking extremely pleased.

Fang Che lay on the ground, panting heavily, unable to move even a little finger.

His eyes widened, and he muttered angrily, "Witch! Witch!"

Yan Bei Han strolled over and looked down at Fang Che, saying, "Get up. If you're going to talk about this, then know that it's a mutual improvement. You've also benefited from it."

"I'm in pain!" Fang Che said furiously.

"I know you're in pain, but if you do it a few more times, you'll get used to it."

Yan Bei Han spoke earnestly, "This is cultivation. You should know that in the martial world, if you don't advance, you retreat. I, as a generous person, am helping you improve your combat experience and power. You should be grateful to me."

"I'm grateful to you..."

Fang Che trembled as he climbed to his feet, clenching his teeth, "I'm grateful to your ancestors..."

Yan Bei Han's eyes widened, and she narrowed them, "It seems you want to do it again!"

Fang Che jumped in fright, "No more, no more, I can't take it anymore! Please spare me this once."

"Hmph!"

Yan Bei Han held Little Bear and left proudly.

But she soon returned, "Why isn't this little bear growing? It eats so much every day, yet it's still only a few dozen pounds?"

Fang Che stretched out his hand, "Give me a recovery pill and I'll tell you."

Poor Fang Che didn't have a spatial ring, so he hadn't brought these along. He could only beg or make conditions.

"Here." Yan Bei Han casually threw over a bottle.

Fang Che took out two pills and swallowed them, then said straightforwardly, "I don't know."

"???"

"I really don't know why it's not growing. Anyway, this little guy has many secrets, so if it's not growing, then it's not growing."

"Liar! Then give me back my pill!"

"Hehe, if you want the pill, then you can have it. But if you want my life, then you can have that too."

Fang Che completely gave up.

Anyway, he couldn't beat her, let alone reveal his trump card. Even if he did reveal his trump card, facing Yan Bei Han, who was already in a dominant position, there was nothing he could do.

Moreover, Yan Bei Han was the first young miss of the Only Righteous Sect. Her trump cards might not be any less than his own.

So... she scammed him, took his resources, and he could do nothing about it.

"..."

Yan Bei Han was furious, and she said harshly, "You wait, next time we spar, I'll beat you to death!"

"Hehe..."

Fang Che held his waist and didn't even bother to pay attention as he walked past Yan Bei Han and went to lie down in his tent.

I'm so scared of you!

During this period, every time I was beaten to near death by you several times.

Do as you please.

The two of them had greatly improved their cultivation, making it easier to deal with the initial serpent swarm. However, when facing the giant python, they still struggled.

But in recent times, the two of them were somewhat relieved that... with all their strength, they managed to slash the giant python, and it actually bled.

Although they were still far from killing it, the two of them were already a little surprised.

In the following days, the rhythm continued: rest for three to four days, fight for five to six days, and flee for two to three days.

It seemed to have become a routine.

The two of them accumulated inner core snake pearls, gained combat experience, and the Golden Horned Serpent continued to make progress.

So the two of them were enjoying themselves.

Moreover, they were both determined, "One day, we'll slaughter all these giant pythons!"

So... even Yan Bei Han had gotten used to it.

But during this long period, they had only encountered the Underworld people once, and not a single other sect.

The vast land seemed to be left with only the two of them and Little Bear.

Facing the vastness of this land, the two of them gained a new understanding: it was too big!

...

Compared to Fang Che and Yan Bei Han, Dong Yun Yu's days during this period were somewhat difficult to describe.

He quickly set a cultivation goal for himself: to slay the Flying Tigers and avenge his humiliation!

So he cultivated with extra determination—he had brought his spatial ring with him.

Dong Yun Yu was different from Yan Bei Han and Feng Yun. His spatial ring was a treasure trove, containing all kinds of basic pills and low to mid-tier resources...

This wasn't because he was prepared, but because... he was lazy.

Some things he didn't need, he couldn't be bothered to clean up. Unless... the spatial ring was full.

But for now, it was far from being full.

So the cultivation resources inside... were truly abundant!

"I never thought being lazy could have such a huge benefit."

—When he first entered, Dong Yun Yu was delighted to know that he would need to cultivate from scratch due to his lowered cultivation, so he decided that being even lazier in the future would be better.

But Dong Yun Yu only cultivated for less than half a year before leaving.

There was no other way; he was different from others, as he needed to be constantly on the move and in combat.

Just mentioning the name of his cultivation technique would make it clear.

"Ten Thousand Deaths Divine Technique!"

So within this year, Dong Yun Yu had provoked almost every demonic beast he could encounter.

A demonic beast named Golden Furred Rat ignored him, no matter how he provoked it, it just wanted to live a peaceful life.

As a result, Dong Yun Yu went to the Flying Tigers' toilet... that swamp.

He emptied dozens of trees as containers, filled them with the Flying Tigers' feces, and then poured them into the Golden Furred Rats' caves...

Now, the most viciously pursued by Dong Yun Yu was the Golden Furred Rats, known for their peaceful and harmonious nature.

Some demonic beasts were cooked and eaten as eggs by Dong Yun Yu.

Others had their innocent younglings' fur plucked out by Dong Yun Yu...

Such acts were countless.

Now, Dong Yun Yu also spent every day being chased.

It's worth mentioning that... the spatial ring Dong Yun Yu obtained after entering had already developed seven cracks—this guy, according to the Yin-Yang Realm's trial rules, was already above the passing line and could even be considered excellent.

When it came to courting death, Dong Yun Yu was a professional!

Meanwhile, Fang Che and Yan Bei Han had adapted to the rhythm and even found some enjoyment in it, but they soon faced a new trouble.

That was...

After failing hundreds of encirclements, the Giant Pythons surprisingly started to evolve their intelligence.

They had found reinforcements.

Fang Che and Yan Bei Han once again broke through the Giant Pythons' encirclement and fled in disarray when...

Suddenly, from the mountains ahead, a dark swarm took flight.

The entire sky in front of them was completely blocked.

Both were startled and stopped in their tracks.

"Centipedes!"

Yan Bei Han's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, "So many... such huge centipedes!"

As for Fang Che, he was more straightforward and exclaimed in a simple and understandable manner, "Holy shit... so many centipedes!"

In front of them, a swarm of two-foot-long golden-headed flying centipedes with three pairs of wings was rushing towards them.

Black energy filled the air as they charged forward.

Fang Che instinctively used a move from the Heaven-Hating Blade Technique.

Puff, puff, puff...

Hundreds of centipedes were split in half, their bodies falling to the ground, twitching.

Green blood sprayed.

Behind them, the sound of thunderous roars came from three directions, as the Giant Pythons were rolling and rushing towards them.

Yan Bei Han's eyes showed a contemplative look, but there was no time for much thought.

She waved her jade-like hand, and a cloud of black smoke burst out, exploding as it reached the centipede army dozens of zhang away, creating a thick cloud of black smoke.

Tens of thousands of centipedes emitted painful hisses and fell from the sky one after another.

Slap, slap, slap...

Just like dumplings falling.

Then, Yan Bei Han threw a white pill to Fang Che, "Swallow it!"

"First, charge out, find a water source, dive deep, and swim away!" Yan Bei Han spoke rapidly, her thoughts clear and composed in this moment of crisis.

"Only underwater can we escape these centipedes, as they dare not enter the water. But the top priority now is to charge out first. My toxic smoke is not enough."

"Use the unity of body and sword, slash and kill as you lead me forward. Keep charging as far as you can. When you run out of breath, I'll take the lead and bring you further. We must take turns and relay, not run out of energy together. Otherwise, if the spirit energy shield is insufficient, and we get bitten, we're done for."

Yan Bei Han quickly and clearly explained everything, then hugged Xiao Xiong and grabbed Fang Che's waistband.

This intelligent woman, in this critical moment, made a decision and took action.

In an instant, she decided to entrust her life to Fang Che.

At this moment, she showed complete trust.

She didn't trust Fang Che, but she trusted the Night Demon!

She believed that with the Night Demon's power, he could bring her to safety before they both exhausted their energy.

With this, as he unleashed his power, he could bring the Night Demon with him to charge directly up the mountain peak and descend, holding on until they found a massive water source.

Fang Che didn't have time to think and immediately placed the pill in his mouth.

At the same time, his Dantian and meridians, along with the power of his divine sense and soul, suddenly erupted all at once.

The long sword flashed with a bright glow, emitting a brilliant light, and the sword qi crisscrossed sharply, forming a piercing sword aura.

Immediately, his body charged towards the sky, facing the flying centipede swarm.

With a swing of the long sword, the sword aura curved in the air, and then suddenly emitted a scorching light.

Whoosh!

Fang Che was like a bolt of lightning, merging with the sword, and charged into the centipede swarm.

Wherever he passed, the flying centipedes shrieked and were directly cut down.

The black light and dark energy suddenly tore open a gap.

Fang Che's white-hot sword light quickly advanced through the dense centipede swarm.

In one charge, he covered two hundred zhang!

His sword light intensified, and the sword qi became even more chilling, as if it had just now truly begun to rise. A relentless killing charge! Blood splattered everywhere!

Yan Beihan held onto Fang Che's waist, and her entire body followed Fang Che's movements, as if she were a part of his body.

There was absolutely no sense of burden.

Watching Fang Che charge forward fearlessly, Yan Beihan counted in her heart.

"One, two, three, four, five... seventy-five... one hundred four..."

In Yan Beihan's understanding, the Night Demon brought her to charge forward, and when she counted to three hundred, it should be about right.

But...

Yan Beihan had already counted to seven hundred in her heart, yet Fang Che was still charging forward bravely.

At this distance, each flying centipede was already four to five feet long. In front, they were still densely packed! Behind, the hissing sounds were getting closer.

Yan Beihan's expression remained calm, and her eyes were serene.

The Night Demon was indeed the Night Demon!

He was the one who stood out in the Cultivating Spirits from Toads program, and as expected, after a thousand counts, he was still charging forward!

Indeed, this jerk held back when sparring with me.

Yan Beihan hummed in her heart.

Then, she felt a sense of admiration. As far as she knew, the Night Demon understood the Blood Burning Technique, and his mastery of it had reached a high level of proficiency.

If he were to use it, perhaps she wouldn't even need to lift a finger, and the Night Demon would charge out with her.

But even so, Fang Che still hadn't used the Blood Burning Technique.

This level of secrecy truly made Yan Beihan feel admiration.

"This guy, it seems that as long as I don't expose his identity, he'd rather die than use any of our sect's techniques!"

Yan Beihan sighed in her heart.

At first, after unconsciously breaking Fang Che's identity, she felt a sense of superiority, a feeling of watching a show, enjoying the pleasure of watching someone put on a front.

But now, she only felt admiration.

If it weren't for the coincidental discovery of the treasure robe, she might not have been able to break his identity even after being humiliated by this guy!

She was only able to uncover the Night Demon's identity due to a coincidence, not because of her intelligence—she was well aware of this.

Just from this short time together, Fang Che's actions had reached a 'flawless' level.

Fang Che's graceful figure charged forward tirelessly, swinging his sword.

His face was expressionless, his gaze focused, giving off a strong sense of security, as if he could charge tirelessly until the end of time without feeling fatigue.

In the sky.

The Golden Horned Serpent devoured the death energy, sweeping away all the death energy.

After these centipedes died, the dark energy they emitted quickly transformed into purifying energy, colorless and odorless, gathering into a ball...

Which was directly swallowed by the little bear opening its mouth in Yan Beihan's embrace, yawning...

Yes, it was making a yawning motion, but in reality, it was swallowing the purifying energy every few breaths, directly consuming the energy.

The little bear's furry face showed a hint of contentment.

But neither Yan Beihan nor Fang Che noticed.

This purifying energy was something they hadn't obtained when they killed the snake swarm earlier.

The killing intent from the relentless slaughter surrounded Fang Che, and the divine essence of the Divine Formless Jade in his mind directly absorbed the energy...

In this slaughter, Fang Che gained killing intent, battle experience, and more; the little bear gained purifying energy, and the Golden Horned Serpent gained death energy.

Only Yan Beihan gained nothing.

Because... even if she personally killed them, the death energy and purifying energy would still be swallowed by the little bear.

The death energy would be absorbed by the Divine Formless Jade in her mind.

The hissing sounds from behind grew louder.

Fang Che swung his sword seventeen times in a row, charging out two hundred zhang, and shouted in a low voice, "Switch!"

"Pfft!"

Yan Beihan directly spat out blood.

Blood Burning Technique!

Maximum activation.
