Chapter 582: The Heavenly King's Xiao and the Assassination of Fang Tu! [Two-in-One]
Chapter 582: The Heavenly King's Xiao and the Assassination of Fang Tu! [Two-in-One]
Fang Che passionately concluded his speech, his chest heaving with heavy breaths, and his eyes turning red.
Across from him, Sun Wutian remained silent, gazing at Fang Che with a look of awe, shock, and even sudden realization.
Half a day later, Sun Wutian unexpectedly pushed a cup of tea towards Fang Che.
"Have some water and calm down." The old demon spoke with kindness.
Fang Che grabbed the teacup and gulped it down in one go, his emotions still running high, and one cup wasn't enough.
After catching his breath, he finally calmed down a bit, "Disciple... I lost my composure!"
Sun Wutian looked at Fang Che with a glint in his eyes, waving his hand, "What loss of composure? It doesn't exist. It's great, extremely great! Perfect beyond my expectations!"
"Huh?" Fang Che expressed surprise.
"Your hatred is much more stable than mine." Sun Wutian sighed with admiration, even a hint of longing, "You hate everything, from heaven and earth to the sun, moon, stars, and even the gods... You hate all powerful beings, leaving none unharmed..."
"Hating the Only Righteous Sect and the Protectors is enough. It even exceeds this scope..." Sun Wutian sighed, then his face turned desolate, "If I had known I could hate so much... Alas, I've cursed heaven for a lifetime, not knowing I should hate it..."
"If I had known earlier, my Blade Foundation wouldn't have been destroyed... Damn it... Young people's brains are indeed sharper." Sun Wutian sighed with regret.
"Grandmaster, my... my Blade Foundation...?" Fang Che asked anxiously.
"Perfect!" The old demon sighed, giving a thumbs-up, "Extremely perfect."
"Really!?" Fang Che exclaimed with joy.
"Really! Damn it!" Sun Wutian suddenly became angry and cursed, "You're a natural-born hater, perfect for cultivating the Heaven-Hating Blade!"
"..." Fang Che felt a bit down.
This perfect Blade Foundation was still being scolded.
But he understood, "After all, a normal person would feel the same towards a disabled person." Fang Che thought to himself.
Sun Wutian was both surprised and excited, but also a bit disheartened.
Besides envy, he couldn't find any other words to describe his feelings.
Truly, he felt like a tragic figure.
If he had known about Fang Che's thoughts earlier and cultivated his mental state, he could have started from scratch with the Heaven-Hating Blade and still had time.
But now? If he completely abandoned it... it would be like destroying himself. Going out would be seeking death! Even if he survived, it would take more than ten thousand years to climb back to the top, and that might not even be enough!
Because once the Blade Foundation is destroyed, it's truly destroyed. To rebuild on the ruins, one must first clear the ruins completely. But the ruins in his heart were of a thousand years.
How could he clear them completely?
It was an impossible task, and he couldn't destroy himself either!
Who could understand this speechlessness?
Moreover, Fang Che had already entered Sun Wutian's absolute domain, and he didn't have much time to indulge in self-pity.
Suppressing the urge to vomit blood, Sun Wutian stood up with little strength, "I'll demonstrate the Heaven-Hating Blade for you."
He felt like he didn't even have the strength to hold the blade!
He had thought he would be able to teach with enthusiasm, but instead, he faced ruthless suppression. He couldn't help but ask, "Is there any justice left in this world?!"
Mustering his spirit, he demonstrated the Heaven-Hating Blade technique, and Fang Che committed it to memory.
The old demon indeed had skills, and the Heaven-Hating Blade was much more powerful than when Sun Wutian used it.
Sun Wutian, on the other hand, felt a bit stifled, as the blade technique he just demonstrated didn't feel right to him.
It wasn't as good as the "Heaven's Wrath Without Eyes" technique he had demonstrated to Fang Che before their conversation.
It was simply speechless!
Damn it! His own disciple had suppressed him, a man from countless generations ago!
After finishing the demonstration, he cursed a thousand times in his heart. Then, he took out a heritage jade pendant and said, "Inside here is the most complete Divine Sect's Heaven-Hating Blade inheritance."
"Take it and cultivate it yourself."
As he spoke, a surge of anger rose within him.
He couldn't help but want to do something.
Grabbing Fang Che, he slapped him to the ground and said viciously, "Let me help you!"
In the most brutal way, he pressed the heritage jade pendant onto Fang Che's forehead with a snapping sound.
His divine soul power immediately surged.
With a boom, the complete Heaven-Hating Blade inheritance flooded into Fang Che's mind.
The amount of information was overwhelming!
"Ahh!" Fang Che screamed in agony.
"Endure it!" Sun Wutian kicked him and cursed, "I'm giving you a good thing, why are you howling?"
Seeing Fang Che's miserable pain, Sun Wutian felt a surge of satisfaction and pleasure for some reason.
So, he increased the soul power input.
The Heaven-Hating Blade technique, like a raging river, violently rushed into Fang Che's sea of consciousness.
Fang Che's face contorted, feeling like his sea of consciousness was boiling.
The pain was inhumane.
"Ah..." Fang Che screamed with a twisted face, begging pitifully, "Grandmaster... I'm about to explode... Ahhh..."
"Don't move! Don't you dare move!" Sun Wutian said, increasing the input while kicking Fang Che, "I'll create pain elsewhere to divert your attention from the pain..."
"Ahhh..."
Fang Che screamed in agony.
Fortunately, his mind still retained a shred of clarity, or else he would have probably cursed the ancestors of Sun Wutian eight generations back!
You're damn right this is called transferring pain!
This is called increasing pain, this is called adding insult to injury! You damn old hag, you damn hag, you damn horse's... you damn ancestors...
Fang Che's endurance was unparalleled in the world.
But this bastard Sun Wutian was intentionally tormenting him.
His soul power, along with the inherited knowledge of the Heaven-Hating Blade, rushed into Fang Che's mind, instantly tearing his soul into three pieces!
And it was a brutal ripping!
This old demon was extremely calculating, ensuring that Fang Che endured the greatest pain without damaging his soul!
Furthermore, there would even be benefits after recovery.
But the pain at this moment was akin to being thrown into a cauldron of boiling oil after climbing a mountain of knives, a cruelty a hundred thousand times worse.
Fang Che couldn't help but shed tears.
He was moved to tears by the fact that he had such a master.
"Waaah... Ah... Ah..."
Fang Che, in his anguish, fainted.
Sun Wutian was startled and quickly stopped. He only meant to make the kid suffer a little, but didn't realize he had used too much force.
After checking, there was no major issue.
He kicked Fang Che, sending him flying two zhang away onto the bed.
Then, he sat by the door, his brows furrowed in worry.
With no one around, Sun Wutian let out a long sigh, sighing repeatedly.
"Damn it..."
Sun Wutian cursed.
He didn't know who he was cursing.
Sun Wutian squatted on the doorstep, cursing the heavens and the earth for half a day.
Everyone in the entire village seemed to have not heard him, maintaining the same attitude as when Sun Wutian arrived, ignoring him.
Half a shichen later, Fang Che woke up, clutching his head that felt like it was about to split open: "Heavens..."
Even after waking up, he still felt like his mind was at war.
On one side was the true inheritance of the Heaven-Hating Blade, with someone constantly swinging the blade, tirelessly practicing back and forth in his mind.
But on the other side, there was also a figure constantly practicing.
It was Sun Wutian!
Sun Wutian was also repeatedly practicing the Heaven-Hating Blade that he had comprehended!
Fang Che understood why he felt so miserable.
I damn well accepted two inheritances! And the other one didn't go through the purification of the soul inheritance jade pendant, Sun Wutian just shoved it in!
It's like a river, suddenly inundated by a mountain flood.
Just as he was about to collapse, on the other side, another wave of similar mountain flood rushed in.
It would be strange if he didn't feel miserable.
The fact that Fang Che wasn't turned into an idiot by this was a testament to how well-built his riverbank was...
"How is it? How's the inheritance going?" Sun Wutian's voice was filled with kindness.
Upon hearing this, Fang Che's body trembled slightly: "I've already accepted it all."
"Then you should practice diligently from now on."
Sun Wutian said indifferently: "To prevent you from going astray, I've also sent all my insights into you."
If you hadn't sent them, I wouldn't be feeling this miserable...
Fang Che still felt like the world was spinning, and his mind was filled with countless tiny knives slicing back and forth.
Bearing the pain, he said: "Disciple thanks the Ancestor Master."
Sun Wutian laughed sinisterly: "You must be cursing me in your heart, right?"
Not just that?
Your ancestors eight generations back have been ground to dust by me...
In his heart, Fang Che felt respect and said: "The Ancestor Master is doing this for the disciple's benefit. How dare the disciple complain?"
"Hehe... I'll take your word for it."
Sun Wutian inexplicably felt a bit refreshed.
Then he said: "Do you have the spatial ring?"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Che knew the benefits were coming, and his eyes lit up: "Ancestor Master, my spatial ring is still empty..."
Sun Wutian: "..."
He said with a squint: "You want me to fill up your spatial ring? You're not being very polite."
Fang Che, feeling embarrassed, said: "Disciple... has been really poor these past few years."
After a few sentences, the excruciating pain in his mind gradually lessened, and his expression became more relaxed.
In this aspect, there was no need for acting. Moreover, Fang Che was eager to showcase his potential to the old demon, hoping that he would value him even more.
"Hehe..."
Sun Wutian felt a mix of anger and amusement, cursing: "You have a spatial ring and you're still complaining about being poor? Where did you get the spatial ring?"
Fang Che revealed a hesitant expression and said: "This ring... was obtained not so... legitimately."
Sun Wutian glared at him: "Speak!"
"It was taken from a person from our sect..." Fang Che lowered his head.
"Just taken?"
"The person was also killed..."
Fang Che spoke without much confidence.
Sun Wutian glared at him and patted his shoulder: "Good lad! You're someone who dares to take action!"
Fang Che looked up in surprise.
He heard Sun Wutian say: "So what if it's a ring taken from someone in our sect? What's the big deal? For your own benefit, killing a few sect members, what's the issue? Moreover, can they even be considered our people?"
Sun Wutian, enraged, said, "It's just a matter of killing to take a ring. You don't have the ring, so it's not right to take theirs. Why are you feeling so anxious? Are you guilty of some crime?"
Fang Che felt a bit uneasy and said, "After all, it's someone from our sect."
"Nonsense!"
Sun Wutian sneered, "The Only Righteous Sect has many deaths every year from internal conflicts. Killing a few from our sect is nothing serious."
"The teachings of the founder..."
Sun Wutian waved his hand, and a huge pile of supplies tumbled out, almost burying Fang Che.
Fang Che exclaimed with joy, "Founder! Long live!"
Sun Wutian couldn't help but hum, forcing himself to contain his pride. He said, "Look at these, see how many you can actually use."
"I can use all of them!"
Fang Che didn't hesitate.
His goal was clear: he wanted it all.
Sun Wutian was speechless.
He was shocked by the greed of this many-generation disciple.
He also felt sympathy, and even a bit of heartache.
This guy was truly a poor wretch!
And he hadn't seen much of the world!
Fang Che started sorting swiftly, his movements incredibly skilled. His thoughts were clear: these could be immediately consumed, but their effects wouldn't last long.
One batch.
A batch that was easy to lose energy.
A batch that could be preserved for a long time but wasn't very valuable.
A batch that could be preserved for a long time and was very valuable.
Various pills, which he didn't even look at, just waved his hand, and 200 bottles of pills vanished.
Top-grade spirit crystals, collected. Top-grade purple crystals, collected! Top-grade star crystals, collected!
Then he collected... nothing more! The ground was empty.
Fang Che, beaming with joy, said, "Thank you, Founder."
Sun Wutian hummed and asked, "What are these things? How many are there in total?"
"Ten bottles of pills that can instantly heal injuries below the Saint King level, pills that can assist cultivation to above the Saint King level... Pills that can assist soul cultivation... Top-grade spirit crystals... Heaven-grade treasures..."
Fang Che reported them in order of value, like a precious family heirloom.
Finally, he said, "... Pills that can assist soul cultivation, 20 jin of Golden Soul Bamboo Shoots."
"..."
Sun Wutian stared at Fang Che, who answered without missing a drop, and finally waved his hand, placing three bottles of pills and three large bottles of top-grade purple crystals filled with spirit water on the table.
"These are pills that can instantly heal injuries below the Saint King level, assist cultivation, and soul cultivation. The Spirit Awakening Pills can be used regardless of level and can provide an opportunity for enlightenment."
"These three bottles of water are Jade Soul Marrow Liquid, provided only to the first genius of the Vice Sect Leader's direct lineage. Consume one bottle at a time, and after finishing three bottles, it can double your soul's strength!"
"I took these from Feng Yun's hands."
Sun Wutian, looking at Fang Che, said, "One bottle every ten days, finish them within a month. However, I suggest you wait two months before consuming them. Your soul power is already saturated, and you must continuously practice and use them to achieve the best results!"
"Yes, Founder, your insight is like a blazing torch! Disciple thanks the Founder!"
Fang Che, in a fluster, stored the three most precious bottles of pills and water into his spatial ring, feeling his heart pounding.
He had struck it rich!
This harvest was even better than Fang Che's most ideal imagination.
The only regret was... there was no Divine Metal.
Apart from that, every other item exceeded expectations, and by a large margin.
"Also, these two jade pendants worn on the body can nourish the soul, assist cultivation, prolong life, and maintain youth. Consider it a wedding gift for your parents."
Sun Wutian gave him two jade pendants.
He, the old demon, was actually going to send a wedding gift to his parents!
Feeling a bit stifled, he also found it amusing: a wedding gift for parents whose son was already twenty and had become a great demon lord, and they were just getting married! And it was their first marriage!
"Tsk, tsk."
The old demon lord clicked his tongue a few times, wanting to say something but ultimately refraining due to his identity.
"Don't make the Founder laugh, and don't waste the Founder's efforts..."
Fang Che was infinitely grateful and quickly grabbed them, storing them in his ring.
He was overjoyed!
"Your Heaven-Hating Blade..."
Sun Wutian narrowed his eyes in warning, "If I ever discover your progress slow down... I'll tear your tendons and flay your skin!"
The old demon lord spoke these words with composure and ease.
However, the conviction and determination within them made Fang Che shudder.
"Also, a significant portion of your hatred belongs to jealousy, to grievances, to the poor; but one day, when you become rich, your stance may change."
"So, the biggest problem you need to consider is how to maintain this hatred unchanged."
Sun Wutian warned, "My hatred's foundation can be broken from the outside, but your hatred's foundation might be dismantled by yourself."
Fang Che sincerely asked, "Then, how can I maintain it?"
Sun Wutian rolled his eyes, "Of course, I know how to maintain it, but why should I tell you?"
Fang Che: "..."
"What you comprehend yourself is truly yours. Regarding mindset, teaching you would be useless.
"Sun Wutian said, "You've gained quite a lot today. Go back and digest it properly. Starting tomorrow, for five consecutive evenings, come and find me."
He spoke calmly, "I'll only give you five days!"
"After five days, you are you, and I am I. Whatever level you can develop to is your own business. I can't be your nanny and backer. Those little plans in your mind, it's best you abandon them early."
"Disciple understands."
Fang Che, looking dejected, said, "I only hope that in the future, I can still frequently greet and pay respects to the Patriarch."
Sun Wutian fell silent for a moment, then spoke calmly, "I can't move against you right now, so everything still depends on you."
He walked away with his hands behind his back, saying calmly, "I'm just an old demon, I don't need to pay respects to you."
A voice drifted in from the doorway.
"I'm not worthy!"
...
Fang Che returned to his own room and sat down.
Those words were still echoing in his mind.
"I'm just an old demon, I don't need to pay respects to you... I'm not worthy!"
Suddenly, his mind was filled with turbulent thoughts.
From these words, he could vaguely sense that Sun Wutian had always known that the path he was walking was wrong.
He clearly knew that everything he had done was against human nature, was devoid of conscience, and was deserving of death!
But he had never repented—or if he did repent, he never changed.
Moreover, when faced with the next action, not only did he not change, but he would even go further.
"The complexity of human nature..."
Fang Che sighed in his heart, "It's truly an eternal mystery! In this world, from ancient times until now, no one has ever been able to fathom all of human nature!"
The matter of Bai Xiang Zhou had gradually subsided.
This was an unprecedented major cleanup, but in reality, it was also a major massacre!
Were there any wrongful killings? Fang Che dared to guarantee that there were definitely some, but absolutely not many!
The most important thing was... after this, at least for the next hundred years, the common people of Bai Xiang Zhou and Donghu Zhou would live far more peacefully and happily than anywhere else in the world!!
And during these hundred years, the populations of these two continents would absolutely experience explosive growth!
With more people, there would be more martial artists, more martial artists would mean more geniuses, and more geniuses would mean more pillars!
The righteous backbone would increase! This was the true meaning of this unprecedented massacre!
After the cleanup, all the aristocratic families were actively and wholeheartedly preparing to become Protectors.
Qi Lie, Han Baiji, Yu Zhong Ge, and others were now in various places, wrapping up their work.
The people from the Enforcement Division, following the standards of the Life and Death Inspection Group, had begun to re-trial the criminals they had captured during this time.
After the trials, it was estimated that a considerable portion of them would be executed. Moreover, the executions would follow the trials closely.
Because all the detention cells in Bai Xiang Zhou were already overcrowded, almost more crowded than the busiest market.
Qi Lie and the others were all smiles every day.
Although their work was busy, tiring them to the point where even their cultivation couldn't withstand the exhaustion, and they were so tired when they returned that they didn't even want to eat, only wanting to sleep; but in their hearts, they were infinitely happy.
Because they saw Bai Xiang Zhou's future!
"It will definitely be glorious!"
For three consecutive days, Fang Che continued to announce his closed-door cultivation, and then late at night, when it was quiet, he would leave his room and just as he stepped onto the street, he would be captured by Sun Wutian's absolute domain and begin cultivating the Heaven-Hating Blade with all his might!
The old demon's personality was eccentric; one moment he was laughing, and the next, he was fiercely beating up Fang Che.
He was interpreting the four words "ever-changing moods" to the extreme.
The fourth day.
Fang Che announced his closed-door cultivation again. At midnight, he quietly left his room.
But just as he stepped out of his door, he ran into Mo Gan Yun, Yu Zhong Ge, and Jing Shuang Gao, who had been busy all day.
Behind him, Shen Laotou followed with an embarrassed expression.
Yu Zhong Ge shouted, "If we hadn't been drinking with Shen Laotou, we wouldn't have known that you've already come out of seclusion! As expected, you've been secretly hiding it from us."
Fang Che looked at Shen Laotou, "???"
Shen Laotou smiled embarrassedly and said, "They were afraid you wouldn't be able to beat them, so you went into seclusion. I couldn't bear it, so I said you'd come out of seclusion and hide it from you fools... and then they came."
Fang Che was left speechless.
So, you sold me out?
He had already left his room and could feel Sun Wutian's presence surrounding him.
But... right now, these four people were right in front of him, and Sun Wutian didn't dare to capture him directly!
Fang Che was a bit dumbfounded.
At this moment.
The five people simultaneously felt an extreme sense of danger.
Their bodies trembled, and their hairs stood on end, as if the Gate of the Nether had opened behind them.
The heavens and earth seemed to connect abruptly, and everyone felt as if their souls had left their bodies and were being sucked into the Gate of the Nether.
In the distance, on a tall building, a sword light suddenly lit up!
It flashed towards them like a thunderbolt, arriving in an instant!
The overwhelming might connected the heavens and earth, carrying the awe-inspiring power that swept away all obstacles. Even with their Spirit Condensation Ability, it was useless against this overwhelming might!
Heavenly King Xiao!
Attacking!
