Chapter 583: Nine Deaths and One Life [Part 2]
Chapter 583: Nine Deaths and One Life [Part 2]
Heavenly King Xiao had been staying here for five days.
Not once did he see Fang Che leave, not even a glimpse of his shadow!
It seemed as if this Fang Tu had completely disappeared from his world.
But he wasn't the least bit anxious.
Every day, he kept a low profile, living peacefully without a hint of emotional fluctuation.
He hadn't taken on an assassination mission like this in a long time, but that didn't diminish his reputation as a top-tier assassin!
As an assassin, the most important thing was to remain calm.
The most taboo was to constantly change the action plan.
Waiting on the target's inevitable path, even if it meant waiting for a month, one had to remain calm.
He could go a year without making a move, but once he did, it had to be a decisive kill!
Besides, assassinating Fang Tu was something he wouldn't even deign to do if it weren't for the hint of creating a spectacle in Yan Zongjiao Zhumu's request...
Heavenly King Xiao wouldn't even bother to take action.
What was Fang Tu to him?
A mere ant compared to me, the eighth on the Cloud Battlefield Arsenal Rankings, the pinnacle of experts under the heavens. To assassinate a Jun Rank ant... It was truly a waste of talent!
This wasn't how you used a great talent for a small task!
So he waited lazily.
In the past five days, he had detected Fang Tu's aura twice, but both times it had disappeared in a flash.
"This kid is quite cautious."
Heavenly King Xiao hummed.
Fang Che's mysterious comings and goings had piqued his interest, giving him the thrill of a cat hunting a mouse.
Let's see just how cautious you can be.
Within the net of my divine mind, you can't escape unless you never show your face.
Finally, at midnight.
Fang Tu's aura appeared again.
Heavenly King Xiao's ears twitched.
The previous two times were the same; the aura appeared and then vanished, like a needle in a haystack.
Could this time be different...
Huh?!
This time, it was indeed different!
Heavenly King Xiao abruptly stood up, and in the instant he opened his eyes, he flashed to the rooftop.
Fang Tu's aura hadn't disappeared!
His divine perception instantly spread out, and his eyes widened as he looked towards that direction.
At the entrance of a small courtyard, Fang Tu had stopped, and four people were talking to him.
So he had just come out and was blocked? This was a heaven-sent opportunity.
The presence of a few more people didn't even enter Heavenly King Xiao's considerations.
Killing one or killing five, it was still just one move!
Heavenly King Xiao didn't hesitate; he directly rode his sword and rose into the air, like a rainbow piercing through the sky, cutting through space and time, and rushing forward!
He knew that these few geniuses were top-tier talents capable of spirit condensation.
Therefore, with this sword, the intent was in the move before it, and the momentum was in the sword after it, gathering the grand momentum of heaven and earth, directly sealing off all escape routes.
It could only be a fierce battle!
But with the grand momentum of heaven and earth already gathered, even if they all used spirit condensation to fight desperately, it would still be like sweeping away rotten wood for him!
After this sword, he immediately borrowed the momentum and charged towards the opposite tall building, then soared away!
Even how to leave gracefully, Heavenly King Xiao had already observed it beforehand.
The sword beam was magnificent.
It seemed to draw down the bright moon from the nine heavens, its cold moonlight forming a pillar of light that connected heaven and earth.
It was only at the moment he leaped and drew his sword that the other side became aware!
...
Danger!
Fang Che let out a wild cry.
"Scatter!"
The blade left its sheath, and in an instant, he instinctively transformed into thunder, frantically charging forward!
He had already sensed that the opponent's target was his group of five, so at this moment, without a second thought, he subconsciously chose to charge forward!
Vaguely in his memory, he seemed to have done this before... That time... it was a glorious spear.
This time, it was a similarly glorious... sword!
But Fang Che's heart had never changed.
He had forgotten a lot, but at this moment, it was that same instinctual drive, and he made the same choice as before without even thinking!
In his stubborn heart, there was only one thought: At a time like this, if I don't rush forward, who will?
I'm still alive, who dares harm my friends.
Heaven-Hating Blade!
Heaven's Wrath Without Eyes, Heaven's Wrath Without Heart, Heaven's Wrath... Without time for a third move, only the first two moves combined to face the overwhelming sword beam, Fang Che charged forward like a galloping horse!
Transforming into the first hurricane: "Go!"
He knew he couldn't block it, but he had to try!
A man's life is not bound by the mortal world, and his blood-boiling courage fears no death; knowing it's futile, he still fights with all his might, roaring as he brandishes his sword to stop the tilting sky!
Almost at the same time.
Mo Gan Yun, who received the command to 'Scatter', didn't move.
Almost at the same time, he made the same choice as Fang Che!
They turned simultaneously, becoming one with their swords, and the dazzling sword beam formed four beams, illuminating the night sky.
It was almost instinctual.
In the moment Shen Laotou turned and drew his sword, his hair suddenly turned white, and his eyes widened in fury!
A sword roared out in anger!
He burned his heart's blood in that instant, with only one thought: to rush ahead of Fang Che and be the first to bear this sword.
Heavenly King Xiao looked at the five beams of light in front of him with disdain, and the sword beam charged towards him without any change!
Could mere ants block my sword?
With a flick of his wrist, the sword energy suddenly exploded and dispersed, like a large net being cast out, completely enveloping the five fish-like figures charging towards them.
One sword, five kills!
Tian Wang Xiao had absolute confidence!
Under the chilling moonlight...
A sword descended from the heavens!
A blade rose from the ground, transforming into four swords!
The night sky trembled and shook as the roaring energy surged.
Just at that moment...
A surge of blade intent suddenly rushed forward, instantly piercing through the center!
...
An unexpected turn of events!
Sun Wutian was so startled that he almost froze, never expecting that right under his nose, someone would attempt to assassinate Fang Che!
At this moment, the old demon was furious.
Without a blade in hand, he waved his arm, and in the rush, a trail of bladeless blade energy surged forth!
Sun Wutian's move was even later than Mo Gan Yun and the others, but it arrived at the same time, not a moment too soon!
As they say, a moment's delay could mean disaster.
A loud boom!
Seven streams of power collided and exploded like bombs.
Sun Wutian's blade intent blocked most of Tian Wang Xiao's power, although Sun Wutian's cultivation was much higher than Tian Wang Xiao's.
However, this time, due to the rush, he couldn't completely block it.
Fang Che's blade simultaneously pierced through Sun Wutian's blade intent and Tian Wang Xiao's sword beam.
Clap, clap...
Tian Wang Xiao's sword energy suddenly exploded.
Boom, boom, boom...
Mo Gan Yun and the others fearlessly charged into the explosion.
In an instant, the entire White Elephant Continent seemed to tremble violently.
The ferocious energy created earthquake-like waves that spread in all directions.
Uncontrollably, the surrounding buildings were flattened, reduced to rubble!
A mushroom cloud of dust and smoke rose into the sky, swirling as it ascended.
Fang Che let out a painful grunt, his body instantly covered in countless sword marks from head to toe! Although he had a treasure robe, it was of little use against Tian Wang Xiao, and the impact shattered his ribs with a crackling sound... It was unclear how many were broken, as his body flew out like a torn sack.
After the collision, Mo Gan Yun's broadsword shattered with a crack, and sword energy hissed through the air. His body was slashed like a slow death, and countless sword marks burst forth, slicing through skin and muscle, breaking bones with a constant crackling sound.
However, this big guy, relying on his last bit of consciousness, roared with all his might, turning his body sideways to shield the others as much as possible.
He knew his size could help block some of the sword energy.
Yu Zhong Ge and Jing Shuang Gao also rushed forward, their actions mirroring Mo Gan Yun's.
The sword instantly snapped under the intense impact, and the sword wind continuously sliced through their bodies.
Shen Laotou charged forward, almost shoulder to shoulder with Fang Che, and collided with Tian Wang Xiao's sword energy, which knocked him back.
Amidst the splattering blood...
Five figures flew out in five different directions, powerless.
As they flew, they completely lost consciousness, their bodies no longer under their control.
As they tumbled through the air, countless sword energies continued to fall to the ground, carving out dust-filled sword marks.
This was the result of Sun Wutian's hasty defense, which blocked most of the attack.
If not for Sun Wutian's intervention, Fang Che would have been the first to be dismembered, and Mo Gan Yun and the others would not have escaped unscathed.
They would have undoubtedly been torn to pieces! The gap in strength could not be bridged by courage alone.
Tian Wang Xiao also sensed the unexpected blade intent and was shocked. He leaped into the air, but a gray shadow charged towards him with raging fury.
The murderous aura was earth-shattering.
"You're asking for death!"
Sun Wutian's face twisted in rage.
His anger had reached its peak. How dare they... right under my nose, and within the range of my divine consciousness, my Heaven-Hating Blade successor was almost turned into mincemeat!
Tian Wang Xiao immediately recognized the attacker and was baffled: Sun Wutian?
What the hell!
What's going on?
But his first instinct was a sense of foreboding. Sun Wutian was actually trying to kill him! However, this wasn't the place for explanations.
Tian Wang Xiao moved, instantly transforming into a dazzling rainbow, utilizing his extreme speed. He soared into the sky.
Sun Wutian didn't want to fight Tian Wang Xiao here either.
With a wave of his hand, a gentle force was emitted, and a pill swiftly flew out like lightning.
The pill entered Fang Che's mouth and instantly dissolved, releasing its medicinal power.
"...Pain..." Fang Che immediately regained consciousness, feeling excruciating pain throughout his body, but a powerful medicinal force was healing him like a soothing spring.
In a hurry, he first activated his medicinal power to repair his neck, arms, and legs.
Turning around quickly, he saw Shen Laotou, Mo Gan Yun, and the others lying motionless on the ground, their faces disfigured, and a pool of dark red blood slowly spreading beneath them...
Fang Che felt the faint life force of the four, like a flickering candle in the wind, about to be extinguished at any moment. Without regard for his own recovery, he crawled over to Shen Laotou, the closest to him, and forced a pill into his mouth.
Then it was Yu Zhong Ge, Mo Gan Yun, and Jing Shuang Gao, the furthest away.
With a slightly calmer mind, he lay on the ground, feeling the medicinal power rapidly healing his body.
It was then that he suddenly realized the extreme danger they had just faced. Who was the attacker?
It was undoubtedly Sun Wutian who saved them, no need to guess, but who was the assassin?
At the time, the sword's radiance was blinding, like a dazzling sun, making it impossible to see anything in front of them.
However, Sun Wutian intercepted the attack, and the opponent was still able to defeat all five of them in one move!
Such cultivation was truly terrifying and awe-inspiring! They were undoubtedly top-ranked experts on the Cloud Battlefield Arsenal Rankings.
But... why would such experts target them?
Why?
What went wrong? Fang Che's mind was in turmoil. It was impossible for the Guardians, and equally impossible for the Only Righteous Sect.
Yan Nan would never allow this!
Could it be the Divine Weasel Sect?
Mo Gan Yun, Yu Zhong Ge, and Shen Laotou, along with Jing Shuang Gao, groaned in pain.
But the pain showed no signs of easing.
The Cloud Essence Pill, of course, had medicinal power, but it was the sword energy of the Heavenly King Xiao. In other words, even if the injuries could be healed, the residual sword energy of the Heavenly King Xiao still needed to be expelled.
Otherwise, complete recovery was impossible.
In other words, the injuries inflicted by a peak expert could not be fully healed even with such a Saint Rank pill.
Because while it could heal the wounds, the essence of the sword energy could not be removed.
Suddenly, countless people descended from above. It was only then that Feng Dongdong, Yun Yu, and Qi Lie arrived.
Upon seeing the scene, they were all shocked.
"What happened?"
"Quickly save them!"
Fang Che desperately looked up, "First, don't move... carefully prepare stretchers, carry them inside... be careful not to drop their limbs... maintain the connection."
As he spoke, a surge of energy rushed up his chest and abdomen, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.
He fainted.
Feng Dongdong and the others were stunned. Each of the five had over a thousand wounds on their bodies.
Their flesh was torn, and they were unconscious.
Examining the scattered sword marks on the ground, each one was two zhang deep beneath the surface! Everyone gasped.
Who was this ruthless attacker?
Such ferocity?
Mo Gan Yun, Jing Shuang Gao, and Yu Zhong Ge had their Treasure Robes cut open, revealing numerous cuts. Although the robes had provided some resistance, the sword energy had still sliced through their chests.
Moreover, due to the protective robes, the sword energy had continued to ravage their bodies.
Fang Che's Treasure Robe was almost shredded, and it was no longer wearable.
But the fortunate thing was that all five were still alive.
Everyone who saw the scene gasped in shock, reaching an indescribable level. Under such a sword attack, they couldn't understand how these five had survived.
All five had their faces mangled, and while they would recover, temporary disfigurement was certain.
"Prepare stretchers... if not, dismantle the door panels!"
Dong Yun Yu shouted, "Don't just stand there... hurry!"
Everyone quickly sprang into action.
Looking at Mo Gan Yun's body, even Dong Yun Yu fell silent. His massive body was almost in pieces.
His left leg was cut off by 90%, leaving only a small piece of flesh connecting it.
It was evident that Mo Gan Yun's body had powerful medicinal power repairing his wounds. However, as the medicinal power surged to heal, the residual sword energy emerged to hinder the process.
The medicinal power charged forward, while the sword energy continued to surge.
A faint purple energy appeared on Yu Zhong Ge, Mo Gan Yun, and Jing Shuang Gao, complementing the medicinal power and stabilizing their injuries.
This was their greatest foundation, and the power of the Purple Crystal Soul was now in full effect.
The sword energy was gradually being dispelled.
Fang Che's body also had immense medicinal power continuously repairing his injuries.
However, the most tragic was Shen Laotou, whose body also had powerful medicinal power, but his foundation was far inferior to Fang Che and the others. Hence, his recovery was the slowest.
In this battle, all five went all-out, risking their lives to the extreme. If they were conscious, they would all be very clear on one point: even if one among them had retreated or not fought with their lives, none would have survived.
Therefore, even with a master's rescue, their survival was only due to the five of them fighting for their lives.
Qilie and the others urged, and with extreme caution, they carried all five people into the Guardian Hall.
"Fang Che!"
Ye Meng wanted to rush in like a madwoman.
But Xue Wanren stopped her, "Don't go in yet!"
He was afraid.
His greatest fear was that if the woman lost control of her grief and threw herself onto Fang Che, sobbing, it was very likely that she would send Fang Che away with her embrace.
Moreover, Fang Che's current condition was truly pitiful, and it was not suitable for Ye Meng to see.
Ye Meng wiped her tears and returned to her room.
She composed herself and immediately sent out the intelligence.
This matter had to be reported, and Ye Meng also believed that the higher-ups would not be indifferent to it.
Fang Che must not die.
Since Fang Che cannot die, then you shall avenge him!
Qilie immediately sent a report upwards.
This injury... the Guardian Hall cannot handle it!
All the physicians in the Guardian Hall gathered here, but the most they could do was hold the severed bones in place, waiting for the medicinal power within the injured to surge and repair the damage.
They couldn't do anything else.
Even a physician with weak cultivation, upon examining Fang Che's wounds, was injured by the residual sword qi and divine aura, causing blood to flow from one of his eyes!
Everyone's faces were filled with grief and anger as they guarded the hall.
The atmosphere became extremely oppressive.
A moment later, Han Baizhi entered from outside and approached Qilie, "Apart from the severe injuries of Captain Fang and the four others, the nearby buildings were completely destroyed. Ordinary people living in the vicinity... ninety-three were killed by the aftermath of the battle, and over six hundred were injured, including one hundred and thirty-five disabled."
Qilie gasped in shock.
His eyes almost popped out of their sockets, "This... this... is it that serious?!"
"This is just a preliminary estimate, and they are still checking in more distant areas."
Han Baizhi's face was extremely grim.
The hall fell silent.
Everyone was filled with anger, but they also felt a sense of helplessness.
Because... the one who caused such consequences must be a top-tier expert from the Cloud Battlefield Rankings! They were like gods in this world.
Even if they were furious to the point of despair, they had to understand that this was beyond their ability to handle!
Outside, in the night sky, a black-robed figure appeared.
Night Emperor had just arrived at the scene. After invisibly examining Fang Che and the others' injuries, he went to inspect the battlefield.
The traces of sword qi still lingered, carrying a domineering aura that treated human lives as insignificant.
When this person unsheathed his sword, he showed no restraint!
He didn't care about harming the innocent.
Sikong Ye immediately recognized a familiar aura.
"Ning Zainei!"
Night Emperor soared into the sky, carefully sensing the surroundings, and then arrived at the location where Ning Zainei had stood in the air and made his move.
From this spot, facing the direction where Fang Che and the others were injured, he drew his longsword and simulated the attack.
Then, feeling the surging momentum that suddenly rushed from afar, he frowned, "Who is it?"
He carefully sensed the direction and leaped into the air, transforming into a long rainbow in the direction Ning Zainei had fled. The speed, force, direction, and position were exactly the same!
"Ning Zainei! You're asking for death!"
...
Heavenly King Xiao frantically fled.
He was already dazed.
He didn't understand why Sun Wutian was so furious and chasing him.
"Grand Protector, why... why is this happening?"
After leaving the city, Heavenly King Xiao stopped and turned to ask.
But what he faced was Sun Wutian's Heaven-Hating Blade, filled with boundless killing intent.
"You bastard! You're a good-for-nothing! You deserve to die!"
Sun Wutian's eyes were red with rage.
After a series of slashes, Heavenly King Xiao wailed and desperately fled, even using the Blood Burning Technique.
Sun Wutian had gone mad!
"How did I offend you?"
Heavenly King Xiao shouted angrily as he ran.
"I've always respected you. How did I wrong you? If you're going to chase me like this, at least give me a reason!"
Heavenly King Xiao was filled with grief and anger.
What the hell is this? Where did I offend this madman?
A reason?
Sun Wutian couldn't provide one. But precisely because he couldn't give a reason, Sun Wutian became even more furious.
"Damn it!"
"If I don't kill you today, I swear I won't be human! Stop right there! I order you to stop and stand still!"
Only a fool would stand still. Heavenly King Xiao was already running with all his might, and behind him, a sword slash hundreds of zhang long would fly by, splitting the sky and earth.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As Heavenly King Xiao fled, more than ten mountains below had already been split in half by Sun Wutian's attacks!
The path of his escape was filled with collapsing mountains and cracked earth.
Sun Wutian pursued relentlessly, as if he would chase him to the ends of the earth, from the Heaven Soaring Hall to the Crystal Palace.
Heavenly King Xiao had no choice but to run and seek help along the way.
He sent a message to Yan Nan, "Vice Sect Leader, save me! Sun Wutian wants to kill me, and he's been chasing me for over twenty thousand li..."
He sent another message to Duan Xiyang, "First Seat, save me! Sun Wutian wants to kill me, and I'm almost dead..."
