Chapter 518: Healing the Night Emperor (Combined)

The man in black who followed behind Sikuang Dou had a chilling aura, and even though it was broad daylight, seeing him still gave one the feeling of walking into a chaotic graveyard in the middle of the night.

He exuded a heavy and condensed aura, which ordinary people might not be able to sense, but someone like Fang Che, who was naturally full of killing intent, could clearly perceive it. It was like a sea of condensed killing intent, vast and silent.

Fang che's heart suddenly jolted: How many people must he have killed to cultivate such a condensed and vast killing intent?

As this person entered the courtyard, he slowly lifted his head to look directly at Fang che.

Fang che saw clearly.

It was indeed that pair of eyes... like those of a dead fish.

"It's you!"

The man's voice was hoarse: "Not bad, kid. Not bad."

Fang che stood up: "Lord Night Emperor."

"Now, there's no longer any Night Emperor, only a man who is about to die."

Night Emperor spoke deeply: "As for past titles, let's not mention them."

"Since I'm here, if Lord Night Emperor wants to die, it might be a bit difficult."

Fang che laughed: "Where shall we start?"

Sikuang Dou said: "Enter my domain; it will be safer."

"Wait a moment."

Night Emperor's dead-fishe eyes looked at Fang che's cautious face: "Just this?"

Fang che nodded solemnly: "Just this!"

Night Emperor slowly nodded, his deadfishe eyes sizing up Fang che's face, and said lowly: "You resemble someone. Not just the looks, but even the aura."

"Who?" Fang che's heart tightened.

"Someone surnamed Fang, but he died thousands of years ago."

Night Emperor sighed: "He was my best friend."

Hearing 'died thousands of years ago,' Fang che sighed in relief and smiled: "That's truly a bond of fate."

Night Emperor sighed lightly and then said: "Is it the guardian who sent you here to treat me?"

Fang che said seriously: "Today, I came here, known to heaven and earth, and only the three of us. After today, I won't mention it."

Night Emperor pondered silently.

Fang che understood the meaning behind his words. If he had said yes, Night Emperor would likely turn and leave. He wouldn't accept the guardian's favor, nor the Only righteous sect's favor. Even if it meant death, he would rather die than accept it.

Fang che admired this man in his heart. Tormented by poison for over two thousand years, knowing that with his martial strength and status, he could heal immediately if he bowed to any side, yet he endured, living for over two thousand years in a state worse than death, refusing to bow!

Fang che couldn't help but admire him, saying: "His Majesty, the Night Emperor, is a free man. This, I do not wish to change."

The words 'free man' barely left his lips.

Night Emperor squinted his eyes, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth as he said softly: "Sharp!"

Fang che smiled: "Then, shall we start? If there's anything to discuss, we can talk after?"

Night Emperor nodded slowly: "Alright."

He turned to Sikuang Dou, "Big Brother!"

Fang che couldn't help but felt a jolt: Big Brother? ...

Sikuang Dou, who was already impatient, stomped his foot in anger: "Hurry up! Dilly dilly!"

As he spoke, he called out, unfolding his domain, and the two of them were sent inside.

When Fang che had entered his courtyard earlier, he hadn't activated his domain, only using a soundproof barrier. Now, even the domain had appeared.

Fang che only felt a vast whiteness before him and couldn't help but marvel: "The old-timers are indeed skilled, and they are cautious enough. Entering the domain, it's indeed flawless."

Night Emperor's hoarse voice said: "What caution? He's cautious as hell. He's afraid I'll heal outside, and once I remove the aura suppression, he won't be able to eat because of the smell..."

"..."

Fang che was speechless.

But thinking about it, it made a lot of sense. Sikuang Dou's concern was indeed a reminder for him.

So he said: "Wait a moment."

He immediately took out a handkerchief from ye meng, simply folded it, and in front of Night Emperor, covered his mouth and nose, tying it carefully behind his head, saying: "That smell is indeed terrible."

Because his mouth was covered, his voice was a bit muffled.

Night Emperor's pupils dilated: "..."

He really wanted to curse, but the energy to curse just wasn't there.

"How will you treat my poison?"

Night Emperor asked.

"Lord Night Emperor misunderstood. Before treating the poison, you haven't yet agreed to my conditions."

Fang che said seriously: "Though you asked for just this, and I answered just this, dark words don't mean agreement. Matters of such importance must be handled with caution."

"Those conditions aren't a problem," Night Emperor said calmly. "That's what I've always wished for."

"Oh?"

Night Emperor's deadfishe eyes looked at Fang che and said: "Sikuang Dou is my big brother, my blood-related senior."

"Hmm, hmm?" Fang che responded, only then realizing how the topic had jumped here.

"When my big brother and I were kids, our parents suddenly passed away, and we ended up on the streets, captured and taken to the Underworld. My big brother was trained to steal, and I didn't want to, so I was beaten every day..."

Fang che suddenly understood.

So, the great master thief started training from a young age, exercising from the very start, and he never lost at the starting line...

"Later, my big brother stole from a senior, who was also in the same line of work. Seeing my big brother's talent, he took him away."

"I was tortured inside, and later, they sent me out to beg for food, so I escaped and met my master in a dilapidated temple. My master was heavily injured at the time, and he took me in as his disciple, teaching me for three years."

"Then, he told me one thing: Live your life doing what you want, and be a free man."

"And then he died."

"So, I won't join the Guardians, nor will I join the Only Righteous Sect. Because I want to be a free man."

"After my master taught me for three years, I ventured out to hone my martial skills. But I was afraid that those people wouldn't live long enough to see me return, so I came back five years later and entered the Underground World."

"I established my own power."

"In 390 years, I killed over 9 million people and only then did I initially unify the Donghu Zhou Underground World."

"After that, for thousands of years, through constant slaughter and consolidation, I finally became the Night Emperor."

The Night Emperor spoke calmly, his eyes flashing with a murderous light, "The reason I said my goal is the same as yours is that... I don't want to see any more children in the Underground World like us back then."

"I don't want the Underground World to remain so filthy. Perhaps it's dirty, perhaps it's even disgusting, but there should be humanity. It's acceptable for those who can't bear the light to seek survival in the Underground World, but harming the heavens and morals is not allowed. The Underground World should also be a place where people can live."

The Night Emperor's dead-fish-like eyes shone with murderous intent, "For this goal, I'm willing to shatter, exterminate, and rebuild!"

Fang Che's heart trembled.

Shatter!

Exterminate!

Rebuild!

So, this is the Night Emperor!

The Night Emperor's dead-fish-like eyes gazed at Fang Che as he spoke softly, "Unfortunately, in the end, I was betrayed by the Only Righteous Sect. That's why you call me the Night Emperor, but I don't want to acknowledge it because I haven't truly achieved the Night Emperor's greatness yet!"

Fang Che sighed deeply and asked, "Can you tell me about that incident back then?"

The Night Emperor spoke calmly, "There's nothing much to say... Eight brothers, two betrayed, six died in battle."

"When I returned heavily injured, my subordinates, upon confirming my severe injuries, started an internal rebellion. They wanted to control the Underground World themselves."

The Night Emperor closed his eyes, "So, I killed them all."

"But I discovered that I couldn't leave. Because of the smell on my body."

The Night Emperor said, "I heard that you found me based on the smell, so you understand."

"I understand."

"Then I told my big brother that I was done for. He rushed back and has been helping me with spirit pills all these years, keeping me alive until now."

"I've managed to survive... but now, I can't even instantly kill a few juniors like you, and I even have to use techniques!"

The Night Emperor sighed, "So, do you understand the situation now?"

"I understand."

"But you still want to save me?"

"I want to give it a try."

"No additional requests?"

"Control the Underground World! No more human trafficking, no more brothels, no more misery for the unfortunate."

"Even if I recover, it will take a considerable amount of time to do this. Currently, the Underground World is not under my control, and many people don't even know of my existence. Those who knew me back then are probably all dead. I need to reestablish my influence, and relying solely on past reputation won't work, whether it's in the Underground World or the Wulin."

"That's not a problem. We have all the time in the world."

The Night Emperor smiled quietly and said, "Indeed, it's not a problem. Then, when do we start?"

"Now. But I'm just giving it a try; I can't guarantee success."

"Of course. You're taking a gamble, I understand. If you win, the Underground World will have order again, and if you lose, it doesn't matter to you."

"I defer to the Night Emperor's wisdom."

Fang Che was very pleased with the Night Emperor.

Two intelligent people didn't need to say much to understand each other.

In just a few words, they gained each other's trust.

The Night Emperor slowly removed his black robe, revealing his emaciated body.

His body was covered in countless venomous sores, all of which were channels he had forced the poison out through.

"On my body, including my head, there are a total of 1,425 venomous sores. Every time I use the heavenly materials and treasures given by my big brother, combined with essence energy to force out the poison... 1,425 places release poison simultaneously. That smell is unbearable even to me."

The Night Emperor looked at his body and smiled bitterly, "I've long lost the will to live. What's the point of living like this? But I can't bear to part with my big brother; if I die, he'll be the only one left in this world."

"I've managed to survive until now, but I can't hold on much longer. With my current cultivation and the accumulated poison, at most, I have half a year left before these channels of poison turn me into a pool of pus."

The Night Emperor dispersed his essence energy shield.

The stench from his body burst forth.

Although Fang Che had Ye Meng's scented handkerchief covering his nose and mouth, he could still smell the overwhelming, tsunami-like stench, surging and colliding in the air.

"My cultivation technique can dispel poison, but regardless of whether it cures or not..."

Fang Che looked at the Night Emperor.

"Rest assured."

The Night Emperor smiled faintly, "I've adhered to my master's words until now."

"I understand!"

Fang Che took out a hundred top-grade spirit crystals and placed them on his left side, then put ten whole Heavenly King Pills into his mouth.

He then said, "Protect your heart meridian and disperse your cultivation. I believe with your control, you can allow my Imperial Rank essence energy to flow through your meridians, right?"

The Night Emperor smiled faintly, "It's a small matter."

Fang Che immediately placed one hand on the Night Emperor's left wrist, on the meridian point.

At the same time, the Night Emperor's aura suddenly dispersed, and a boundless stench erupted.

Fang Che's Pure and Boundless Sutra, with its essence energy at its purest, acted like an arrow, bursting forth from his fingertips and entering the Night Emperor's wrist meridian.

Following the wrist meridian, it entered the other meridians like a spirit snake, slowly making its way into the Night Emperor's dantian. Then, guided by the Night Emperor's internal energy, it exited the dantian and entered the left leg meridian...

Eventually, it traveled from the crown of his head, down to his right shoulder and chest, before returning to the dantian.

Only after completing a full circulation did Fang Che let out a gentle sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the situation wasn't too bad, as the Night Emperor's meridians remained intact and unobstructed.

Wherever the Pure and Boundless Sutra passed, it was like a thin, glowing line, forming a slender path of purity within the filthy meridian channels.

Around this pure line, all the toxins swelled, squeezed, and slowly pushed outwards.

The Night Emperor's 1,425 venomous sores simultaneously swelled slightly.

The Night Emperor's body trembled, and he spoke, "It's working!"

"That's good to hear."

Fang Che sighed, "The Night Emperor's cultivation is too high. Although he has dispersed his cultivation, this empty meridian isn't something my small Imperial Rank essence energy can easily fill. It's quite exhausting."

"That's only natural."

The Night Emperor sighed, "However, with such thorough preparations, it shouldn't take until the end of the detoxification. Even before the detoxification is complete, you will have learned my Nightmare Divine Art."

"Then shouldn't I call you Master?" Fang Che continued to cultivate as he spoke.

"I don't want to take on a Protector as my disciple."

The Night Emperor said with a faint smile, "But having a little brother who is a Protector isn't bad. You've learned all my skills, and in the future, you might even save my life."

"Hahaha..."

Fang Che said, "Senior, you don't want to owe me any favors."

"You're wrong."

The Night Emperor said, "A favor owed is a debt for life. I teach you because I want to, not to repay a favor."

"You're right, it's my narrow-mindedness." Fang Che said.

A smile appeared on the Night Emperor's lips, and he said, "You're quick to change your address for me."

"I learn skills even faster."

"Hahaha..."

The Night Emperor laughed.

But he hadn't laughed in many years, and this laughter sounded strange.

Yet, he felt incredibly refreshed.

"Do you know why I acknowledged you?" the Night Emperor asked.

"Of course, it's not because of a life-saving grace."

Fang Che replied.

"You're right. Si Kong Ye isn't someone who's easy to talk to. But today, he's been especially talkative, and it's not because of a life-saving grace."

The Night Emperor said with a faint smile, "Firstly, your purpose in saving me aligns with my goal of governing the underground world."

"Secondly, my master's most prized martial skill cannot be passed on, but you possess this qualification."

The Night Emperor closed his eyes and said, "Because I'm not suited for that grand and unrestrained style of combat... But when your cultivation technique entered my meridians, I realized that grand and unrestrained, righteous, and pure style is the perfect successor to my master's martial skill!"

As Fang Che's Pure and Boundless Sutra circulated for the third time in the Night Emperor's body, one of the Heavenly King Pills in his mouth quietly melted, and his left hand had already grabbed a top-grade spirit crystal.

Pure essence energy continuously flowed from the spirit crystal into his body, and the essence energy of the Heavenly King Pill also filled his dantian like an explosion.

It continued to exert its effects.

Fang Che asked, "Then, what was the combat style of Senior's master? What weapon did he use?"

"A halberd!"

The Night Emperor said with a faint smile, "My master was once known as the number one halberd in the world! The Madman's Halberd of the Only Righteous Sect, ranked fourth on the Sea Cloud Armament Spectrum, couldn't even last a hundred moves under my master's hand."

Fang Che's aura became slightly chaotic.

Even the Night Emperor felt it, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Fang Che said, "Since he was so powerful, why was he injured?"

"He didn't say."

The Night Emperor's voice was low, "When I asked him, he said that my talent wasn't enough to support me in seeking revenge. Even if I cultivated to my peak, going to avenge him would only be a death sentence."

"So, he never told me. Over the years, I've inquired, but no one knows what powerful opponent the Dragon God Halberd encountered back then."

"Was his name Dragon God Halberd?"

"Yes. The Dragon God Halberd, Sea Cloud, was my master's name."

The Night Emperor's tone was filled with affection as he said, "He was my master and my belief!"

He hummed in pain.

I have no idea if it was the evil poison in my body that forced me out, or if it was because I mentioned my master.

After the Boundless Sutra circulated five cycles in Night Emperor's body, over 1,425 abscesses swelled up all over his body.

A dark mist enveloped him.

This was the most painful moment.

Night Emperor endured, not moving a muscle.

At this point, it was necessary to gather spiritual energy and rely on countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures, requiring two days and two nights to achieve this state.

Moreover, at this stage, there was basically no remaining strength left. His older brother, Sikuang Dou, used a sharp dagger to pierce over a thousand venomous sores.

Releasing the residual poison and pus, he managed to stay alive.

However, this newly acquainted younger brother had only circulated five cycles of spiritual energy and had already reached this level.

Furthermore, these abscesses on his head made him feel itchy.

This was the sensation that would come just before the abscesses burst.

He suppressed the joy in his heart and endured quietly.

Striving to appear more composed.

Night Emperor never trusted anyone, never joined any organization, never pretended to anyone, and always went his own way...

But today, after hearing Fang Che's reason for saving him, he immediately acknowledged this person.

And he believed him unconditionally.

Night Emperor himself also felt a bit like his character was being ruined.

But that sense of recognition rising from the bottom of his heart made it impossible to resist! He even proactively acknowledged this brother.

In the past, he rarely chatted this much with his older brother, and the words they exchanged over the years didn't even come close to what he said today with Fang Che. Yet, he didn't feel anything amiss.

So now, Night Emperor's heart actually felt a bit embarrassed.

"I don't know if Fang Che has heard of my previous legends... If he has, it would be so embarrassing for me..."

Night Emperor thought silently.

On the sixth cycle of spiritual energy, a light mist rose from Fang Che's body, and fine sweat seeped from his nose.

A soft sound escaped.

It was the largest abscess on Night Emperor's back bursting open, and pus slowly flowed out.

Every part of his body where the abscesses were located felt an intense itch.

But Night Emperor gritted his teeth and endured.

His character had already been ruined, but his image couldn't be further tarnished. If he couldn't hold back a shudder or a full-body tremble from the itch...

Fang Che desperately urged the Boundless Sutra, doing so for the first time with such determination.

But thinking that this desperate effort might bring peace to the entire Southeast Underground World, perhaps even to the entire Underground World for thousands of years...

He dared not relax at all.

Desperately, yet willingly.

Six top-grade spirit crystals had already turned to powder in his left hand, and the Heavenly King Pill in his mouth had been bitten open.

The Boundless Sutra had circulated to the tenth cycle! Over a thousand abscesses on Night Emperor's body had already burst,

making him look horrifying.

But this was the moment when he couldn't stop, and no external force could intervene.

These abscesses couldn't be squeezed, for any external force would cause the poison flowing outward from the center to instantly reverse and return!

Moreover, at this moment, Night Emperor's cultivation had completely dispersed, and the weak force protecting his heart meridian couldn't withstand the sudden influx of over 1,400 poisonous substances!

Instantly invading his heart meridian, he would die immediately.

So, from now on, it became even harder to stop. If Fang Che stopped urging his energy, the same would happen! Sikuang Dou, who had been waiting anxiously, widened his eyes in surprise.

Night Emperor's forehead was already covered in beads of sweat, and he dared not even breathe.

His younger brother's life hung in the balance at this moment!

Before this, neither of the brothers had imagined that their lives would depend on a Royal-ranked ant to force out the poison!

Such an absurd event that defied all logic was actually happening right before their eyes! Seeing Fang Che's pale face, Sikuang Dou immediately left and then returned, placing a bottle at Fang Che's mouth.

Fang Che opened his eyes, confused.

Sikuang Dou lifted the jade bottle in his hand.

Fang Che felt a fragrant, thick, and sticky substance entering his mouth. His eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth wide, sucking it in! A loud gulp, and he immediately swallowed, feeling his Dantian's spiritual energy surging and rising.

In an instant, his entire body was filled with power.

All his losses were not only replenished but also far exceeded.

Sikuang Dou immediately took back the jade bottle.

His face revealed an expression of intense pain, "Damn it, you're not holding back at all!"

Fang Che's heart was filled with greed.

Just one gulp not only replenished his losses but also spread to his limbs, replenishing his entire body like waves, one after the other. Moreover, this energy seemed to enhance his foundation.

And judging by this momentum, it would take a long time to fully digest this energy!

It was a good thing that replenished his innate foundation!

He couldn't help but lick his lips.

Glancing at Sikuang Dou with disdain, he said, "You're so stingy. Give me another mouthful."
