Chapter 641: Night Demon Suppression
Chapter 641: Night Demon Suppression
Several Saint Rank Fourth Stage experts began to discuss the matter of the Night Demon. "Have you noticed the Night Demon’s killing frenzy? What kind of madman is this?"
"Escaped, indeed. I have already escaped," Long Yikong said, his tone calm. "But I still think that if the Night Demon survives, he will surely accomplish great things. A person like this, with such potential, is truly a great talent!"
Most of those present nodded in agreement, but a few remained silent, their expressions somewhat unusual.
One of them, a hunched figure with white hair and a white beard, suddenly had his eyes flash with sharp light. He frowned deeply.
The discussion in the venue grew more intense. One person loudly declared, "If the Night Demon has a bright future, does that mean we have no future? Our future is far brighter than his."
Without waiting for Long Yikong to respond, another person sneered, "The Night Demon’s fame and achievements come from his solo killings. He rose from the lowest ranks of the sect to shake the southeast. After this mission, he will shake the entire sect. You, coming from a super clan, have accumulated countless resources, how can you compare your future to the Night Demon’s?"
Another person sneered coldly, "Not that I look down on you. If you abandon your clan status and place yourself in the Night Demon’s position, now your grave is already surrounded by trees, isn’t it?"
"You can want to kill the Night Demon, but you cannot be envious of him!"
Another person stood up and snorted, "My family has also suffered losses at the hands of the Night Demon. I have seen the Night Demon’s determination to kill, but this does not mean I am not impressed. The Night Demon truly lives a life of killing, how can you say it’s not enjoyable?"
"Living like a rat crossing the street, suppressing one’s breath to the point of death, where’s the enjoyment?" someone retorted sarcastically.
"Does this delay their cultivation? Does it delay their cultivation of Gu into a champion? Does it delay their fame across the southeast? Does it delay them entering this arena? Does it delay our discussion about them?"
The previous speaker sneered coldly, "According to you, the Night Demon killing whoever he wants is not enjoyable. Then, by bowing and kowtowing, you find it enjoyable? Truly, you have no self-awareness."
Everyone laughed for a moment. The discussion continued.
Long Yikong sat down, but a few in the crowd had abnormal expressions, still.
One of them, a bent figure with white hair and beard, had his eyes flash with sharp light.. He frowned deeply.
"How dare you!" The man leaped up in anger.
But another person spoke up, "Did he offend you? How did it turn into an insult directed at you?"
Everyone turned to see a new person standing up, his long, horse-like face filled with fury as he cursed, "Can you at least change the way you insult me next time?"
The crowd burst into laughter.
After much discussion, over a hundred Saint Realm experts finally reached a consensus, "Night Demon is too dangerous now, and he'll be even more dangerous in the future. It's best to get rid of him now."
Eighty percent agreed, and the decision was made.
Long Yikong said, "If Night Demon doesn't die this time, I'll go and surrender to him. Don't blame me later."
Everyone laughed, "With so many people wanting to kill him, how can he still be alive?"
Feng Wanxia rolled her eyes, "Go ahead, I'm not going anyway."
The crowd dispersed.
They prepared to carry out their plan to surround and exterminate the Night Demon.
Feng Wanxia and Long Yikong exchanged a glance, both coldly harrumphing before turning away.
Fang Che, who was in the midst of killing, immediately received a message from Long Yikong and Feng Wanxia.
"They're plotting against you. Their plans are..."
Fang Che carefully read the message, unable to hold back a couple of impressed sounds.
Suddenly, he thought of those Nine Dragon Vein Fruits.
His eyes darted back and forth.
Back and forth.
He thought for a long time.
In the end, he decided to take a risk.
What Fang Che cared about were those Nine Dragon Vein Fruits.
If he couldn't get them, he would destroy them. What if the Only Righteous Sect obtained them? As for the Dragon Vein in the mountain's belly, he didn't care much about it.
It's just cultivation resources, and they could be found elsewhere.
The key was that the Nine Dragon Vein Fruits couldn't be found anywhere else.
With only ten days left before he had to leave, he had to find a way. Otherwise, it might be too late.
If he wanted to do it, he should just do it!
Fang Che swiftly ran out.
Then, under the reconnaissance of the Golden Horned Serpent, Fang Che intentionally went to a place densely populated with warriors and killed two people. As expected, he was immediately pursued.
"Night Demon has appeared!"
"He's over there!"
"Quickly send a message to intercept him!"
With a loud boom, hundreds of Saint Realm experts simultaneously took action, and a resounding boom filled the sky as killing intent and divine sense intertwined.
Countless experts flew in from all directions.
In the high sky, they saw the Night Demon on the ground, moving like lightning, opening and closing, with no one able to match him in combat."
He charged forward with unmatched speed.
In an instant, he had already broken through the encirclement of dozens of people, rushing out thousands of zhang, breaking through another interception, his body transforming into a stream of light, charging forward, and was about to disappear.
"So badass!"
Someone exclaimed from above.
The Night Demon's combat awareness and style filled everyone with terror.
Many of the Night Demon's tactics were ones they could think of, and they had even simulated them in their minds numerous times.
But thinking about it wasn't the same as doing it!
They watched as the Night Demon charged forward, crushing his opponents with ease.
As fear and trembling filled their hearts, they also felt an indescribable thrill: This was true combat! This was slaughter! This was the martial world!
This was what it meant to be strong! The momentum of his sword slicing through to the end of the sky made them feel a chill rising from their tailbones to the top of their heads.
They trembled, excited, and yearned for such power.
But it was terrifying.
"Kill him!!"
Someone roared.
Countless people descended from the sky, joining the pursuit and interception of the Night Demon, while others rushed ahead to set up another blockade.
The Night Demon moved like the wind, a shadow, and lightning, charging forward with hurricane-like force, flashing like electricity, and transforming into a rainbow!
He continued his wild charge, and in the blink of an eye, he had already rushed out hundreds of li, still charging forward with ferocious might!
Countless people joined the battle, and countless more marveled.
Indeed, the champion of the previous Incubation to Divinity Plan!
The sky darkened as night fell.
The battle raged on, and the besiegers had already taken turns to rest several times, but the Night Demon was still fighting frantically, continuing his charge.
He seemed to know no fatigue.
Such combat endurance left them in awe.
But a Third Stage Saint Realm expert finally arrived and took action.
A loud boom echoed in the pitch-black night, and a burst of light, like a sun, suddenly erupted.
The Night Demon's body suddenly disappeared in the light, shooting out.
In an instant, he had charged out a thousand zhang, with the Third Stage Saint Realm expert in hot pursuit.
Ahead, another loud boom sounded.
Ma Qianli roared, "He's over there... Ah!"
He seemed to have been injured.
Everyone rushed in that direction.
After charging out a full thousand li, just as they thought they had lost him, a battle cry erupted from the distance: "Night Demon is here!"
Yang Jiucheng went crazy, shouting, and everyone rushed over with a loud boom. Along the way, more and more people joined.
The entire population was hunting down the Night Demon!
After another two thousand li, a loud boom erupted ahead, and the sounds of battle continued, reaching a fever pitch, as Niu Baizhan's body was drenched in blood, "Come quickly! The Night Demon is here... Don't let him escape..."
Everyone rushed over at full speed!
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Feng Wanxia shouted, "Over here! Stop him, hurry..."
They continued the pursuit.
The chase went on until the latter half of the night.
No one knew how far they had run, but they had entered an unfamiliar mountain forest.
As they entered, everyone felt something was amiss.
"The spiritual energy here... Wow... Why is it so dense?"
"There must be some heavenly treasure or a dragon vein!" The experienced members of the Only Righteous Sect were well-versed in such matters.
"A dragon vein?"
"Impossible! That's a supreme-grade mineral vein..."
"Judging by the concentration of spiritual energy, it shouldn't be just that..."
"Wow..."
Everyone started to go crazy, and they all began searching.
Clang, clang, clang... Boom, boom, boom... The sounds of battle rang out not too far away. Long Yikong's voice echoed, "Night Demon! Your oil lamp is about to go out. It's better to surrender now... To be honest, I quite admire you..."
Instantly, countless people became anxious.
"Night Demon is over there!"
"Hurry up and kill him!"
"This guy talking is Long Yikong. He always thought Night Demon was decent, but now he's trying to let him go!"
"Let's go... Hurry up!"
The crowd rushed over and saw Night Demon standing unsteadily in the darkness, covered in blood, looking disheveled.
Opposite him, Long Yikong stood with his sword drawn, trying to persuade Night Demon, "...Night Demon, you have nowhere to go..."
Swish, swish, swish...
The crowd frantically flew towards them on their swords.
At this critical moment, why was he still talking to Night Demon? Hurry up and kill him to eliminate future troubles...
The play had reached its climax.
Fang Che burst into laughter, his voice carrying a hint of desolation, "So what if it's a dead end? I, Night Demon, have roamed the world and killed countless people. This life has been worth it! Even if it's a dead end, anyone who wants my life will have to pay with at least a few more lives!"
Fang Che stood with his sword drawn, the sword light soaring into the sky. His entire body exuded killing intent and malevolent aura, causing the clouds around him to billow and surge!
"Who dares to be the first to come and die!"
Fang Che roared, and everyone descended simultaneously, standing opposite him!
Fang Che, drenched in blood, took a sudden step forward, his eyes flashing with fierce determination. He shouted, "Who will die with me?!"
Everyone was seized by his fierce aura, and they couldn't help but take a step back.
"Hahahahaha..."
Fang Che laughed towards the sky, and amidst the swirling clouds, he pointed at the dark mass of people ahead, "You... You call yourselves experts of the Only Righteous Sect?"
"Pah!"
Fang Che spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm and said disdainfully, "A bunch of useless trash!"
"Trash! Hahahahaha..."
Fang Che laughed.
"Long Yikong, make your move! Kill him!"
Someone shouted fiercely.
Long Yikong hesitated for a moment, then took a few steps back and leaped into the air, flying away, "I don't want to kill him! You guys come and get him. I don't want to see it."
Long Yikong actually left.
Instantly, countless people started cursing, "Coward!"
Fang Che laughed, "Good, he's a coward, but you're not! Come on, all of you who were shouting, show yourselves!"
He pointed his long sword, and the sword light floated in the air, the Seven Stars flashing.
A roar that shook the heavens and earth echoed, "Come out! Face your death!"
Boom!
Countless people retreated simultaneously.
When they realized that they had taken a step back at Night Demon's thunderous roar, their faces turned red with embarrassment.
The Night Demon standing opposite them was filled with mocking laughter, "Hahahaha... You're all fucking... hiding in women's pants. How dare you participate in the Incubation Deity Program? With your meager courage, even if you become sect leaders, will you succeed?"
"Do you even deserve it?"
"Do you dare?"
"Hahaha..."
Night Demon's laughter shook everyone, and countless faces turned red with anger as they cursed aloud.
Just then, a thin figure appeared, flashing through the air and landing in the center of the arena, standing with his sword drawn. He faced the crowd that had been chasing Night Demon.
This man had a stooped figure, his hair and beard were mostly white, his face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes were cloudy, indicating his advanced age.
But the moment this stooped old man appeared, everyone's expressions changed.
The old man smiled and waved his hand, tossing a pill bottle to Night Demon, "Night Demon, take this pill and recover. Go ahead and cultivate. I'll hold them off for you."
"Bastard!"
"Piece of shit!"
"You're asking for death!"
Everyone shouted together, filled with anger.
They had finally pushed Night Demon to this point, and now someone else had come to disrupt the situation.
Not only them, but even Fang Che, Long Yikong, and the others were stunned.
They were completely shocked.
Who the hell was this guy? Just as my grand performance was about to reach its climax, this guy suddenly appeared out of nowhere?
This guy... isn't one of mine. What's going on?
Has this old man gone crazy? Fang Che's mind was in a daze. He had been acting so smoothly, as if possessed by a film emperor, and was about to heroically jump off the cliff to fight the two-headed serpent.
But now... he was being stopped?
This was just too much.
The old man stood before Fang Che, his voice carrying a hint of desolation, "Long Yikong was right the other day. A person like Night Demon shouldn't die. He indeed has potential and is worth following."
"Today, I'll be passionate for once. If I die, I'll die fighting alongside Night Demon here. If I don't die, after leaving here, I'll follow Night Demon to conquer the world!"
"Either way, it's better than the current stifling situation!"
"Night Demon, take this time to recover. I'll protect you. I guarantee that within a quarter of an hour, none of them will be able to get past me!"
The old man straightened his stooped back, and in an instant, his vitality surged, making him seem years younger. A sword aura rose from his body, shooting straight towards the sky!
Five or six people stepped forward from the crowd, and one of them spoke calmly, "Mo Wang, don't be foolish. Move aside quickly."
Another person said, "Mo Wang, you're thinking too simply. Night Demon won't dare to take you as his subordinate. You're a Sage Rank Sixth Stage, and what cultivation does Night Demon have? He dares to take you on!"
Mo Wang fell silent for a moment, then said, "Even if Night Demon suspects and kills me, it's still better than dying like this."
"You'll bring disaster upon your family!"
A person in the crowd had a threatening look on his face.
The faces of the five people at the front changed instantly, wanting to stop these words, but it was already too late.
They couldn't help but turn ashen.
Before them, Mo Wang burst into laughter, "Hahaha... Bringing disaster upon my family, hahaha, how ridiculous. My Mo family, from its peak of over fifty thousand people, is now left with only me! What am I afraid of dragging down my family?"
"These words are truly ridiculous! How hilarious, hahaha..."
The faces of the several Saint Realm experts at the front of the crowd turned ashen.
If not for these words, Mo Wang might have had a glimmer of hope to turn back, but these words completely stirred up Mo Wang's heartbreak and despair. He would never turn back again!
Mo Wang!
Who was Mo Wang?
Fang Che's heart trembled. Originally, the Mo family had over fifty thousand people? How did so many of them die? Why? But just hearing these words, this Mo Wang... might be of use.
Mo Wang laughed maniacally and roared, "Night Demon, I'll help you fight your way out of this encirclement. Take me as your subordinate!"
Fang Che secretly channeled his power to his feet, and his spiritual energy quickly penetrated the solidified mountain beneath him, causing the solidified stones on the cliff to loosen and create gaps. He laughed heartily, "What do I have to fear? I'm already prepared to die here. Mo Wang, you dare to come out and assist me. Of course, I dare to take you on!"
"But I'll say it upfront, after we get out, the position of Supreme Leader is mine! Otherwise, I, Night Demon, would rather die in battle than submit to anyone!"
Mo Wang laughed, "Night Demon, you truly have grand ambitions! I want to follow such an ambitious and domineering hero!"
Suddenly, he let out a long whistle and swore to the sky, "I, Mo Wang, from this day forward, swear to the Sky Viper God. For this life, I will follow Night Demon in battle, without regret or betrayal. If I break this oath, I willingly accept divine punishment and death!"
A thunderous sound echoed as divine sense descended.
"I swear!"
Mo Wang suddenly turned and knelt before Fang Che, "Subordinate Mo Wang, pay respects to the Supreme Leader. I beg the Supreme Leader to bestow his grace and accept me. Allow me the opportunity to contribute to the Supreme Leader!"
Fang Che burst into laughter and shouted, "Good! Mo Wang, from this day forward, I accept you! In the future, through a thousand trials and ten thousand dangers, through the tempering of life and death, through the trials of the Sword Forest... I hope you can endure it all!"
"I swear to be loyal to the Supreme Leader, through fire and sword, until death!"
Mo Wang knelt on the ground and made his vow.
The Quintessence Bug flew out, and Fang Che's bug also flew out, taking a strand of black energy to confirm the subordinate relationship.
Mo Wang stood up immediately, holding his sword and standing in front of Night Demon.
Opposite them, thousands of people had a black line on their foreheads, their faces filled with anger.
These two people had actually completed the ceremony of pledging loyalty and joining the sect amidst the encirclement of powerful enemies!
But in the eyes of some, there was also anticipation and envy.
This was the true martial world.
Surrounded by powerful enemies, they drew their swords and charged forward, facing danger together, their hearts as one, sharing life and death.
This was the martial world of legends, the heroes of tales.
The leading Saint Realm expert closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. After a while, he waved his hand and shouted sternly, "Everyone, attack together! No matter the cost! Kill them!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Hundreds of people rushed forward simultaneously.
They wanted to hack these two people, who had just fulfilled their martial dreams before their eyes, into pieces.
Fang Che roared, "Mo Wang, I've recovered. Split up and break through the encirclement. Protect your lives and meet again in the martial world to build a grand enterprise together!"
"Subordinate obeys the Supreme Leader's command! Take care, Supreme Leader!"
Mo Wang let out a long whistle and charged forward, using his madness to block most of the enemies for the Supreme Leader.
Fang Che let out a long whistle, "All of you, I'll remember you! After I get out, I won't let a single one of you off!"
With a hearty laugh, he flipped his body and fell like a meteor down the cliff.
"Under the heavens, who can kill me, Night Demon!"
Night Demon's whistle grew fainter.
Countless people roared in anger and flew down with their swords, "Night Demon, where are you going?"
Amidst Mo Wang's laughter, over a dozen people had already died under his sword. He let out a long whistle, "I won't accompany you any longer!"
With a series of flips, he created a trail of blood and escaped without a trace.
All the remaining people, under the leadership of the Supreme Leader, jumped off the cliff, chasing after Night Demon.
Everyone was clear: As long as Night Demon was killed, Mo Wang wouldn't be able to stir up any waves.
All of Fang Che's spiritual power was focused on his feet, and he fell crazily, tearing through all the vines on the cliff. The thunderous sound was like an earthquake.
They were about to reach the mouth of the two-headed serpent cave.
Fang Che's feet, infused with half a day's worth of spiritual power, kicked out with a thunderous sound.
The mountain shook.
His body immediately stopped.
From the cave, a furious roar echoed, and a huge two-headed serpent charged out in anger.
"Roar..."
