Chapter 723: The Night Demon's Ferocity

Chapter 723: The Night Demon's Ferocity

His act of feigning death was exposed.

Fang Che crawled up from the ground and laughed, "Thank you, General Commander, for the medicine."

He swallowed it without hesitation, and immediately felt a surge of spiritual energy within his body, visibly improving his injuries.

In his heart, he cursed his misfortune, having been beaten up twice in one day, once by Yan Beihan and once by Feng Yun. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?

He vowed to make up for it by taking it out on the Golden Cloud Sect.

Feng Yun looked at his unharmed face and asked with a frown, "How did you manage to protect your face so well?"

"I'm not very handsome to begin with, so if it gets damaged, it'll only get worse."

Fang Che explained, "That's why I have to protect this face."

Feng Yun was speechless, "Your face... How dare you say you're not good-looking? You and the word 'handsome' don't even come close to each other!"

Feng Yi and Feng Er couldn't help but laugh.

This guy, when he's not cursing, is actually quite adorable.

He's flirtatious, shameless, reckless, evil, venomous, cruel, and will stop at nothing.

Even Feng Yi and Feng Er, with their extensive experience, could see that this Night Demon was undoubtedly born to be a formidable figure in the martial world.

Once he grows up, who knows what kind of waves he'll create!

"It's about time, you can go back now."

Feng Yun said, "Remember not to cause any trouble."

"I assume that those brats from the Golden Cloud Sect are waiting for me outside," Fang Che said, "What should I do if I encounter them?"

Feng Yun coldly replied, "Whether to fight or flee, isn't it up to you?"

"They definitely want to kill me..." Fang Che showed a timid expression.

Feng Yun kicked him out three zhang away and scolded, "Do you need my permission to kill them? You good-for-yet-yet-somehow-not-degrading-enough scene!"

"I dare not, General Commander. I'm just worried that if I kill too many people, it will cause you trouble."

Fang Che said, "After all, the Golden Demon Sect Leader is a master of the Five Elements Ice Flame Seven Colors..."

Feng Yun calmly said, "What do you want me to say? Go ahead and kill? The Golden Demon Sect Leader is not someone I fear. Night Demon, you've focused your mind and eyes on killing. Is it so easy to take advantage of me?"

"I was wrong, General Commander. I'm afraid that if I go out and get killed, it will cause you pain..."

Feng Yun coldly laughed, "Pain? If you go out and get killed, not only will I not feel pain, but I'll definitely laugh three times, finally ridding myself of a huge nuisance, a troublemaker who can't stay put!"

Fang Che sighed, "But I still want to keep this life and make a name for myself in the Southeast, contributing to Young Master Yun's achievements."

Feng Yun paced for two steps, a smile appearing on his face.

Suddenly, he asked, "Night Demon, what do you think of Yan Beihan and me?"

Fang Che froze for a moment, unsure how to respond, "Young Master Yun's question..."

"Don't worry, just speak your mind."

Feng Yun encouraged him.

Fang Che composed himself and said, "Young Master Yun and Miss Yan... They are not people I can evaluate."

He smiled bitterly, "I may be bold and seem lawless, but I know my limits and who I can and cannot offend. Killing during the 'Yang Gu Chengshen Plan' is necessary because I must make a name for myself. Otherwise, I'll remain an ordinary subordinate my entire life."

"Who knows, I might die on the side of the road, my body left to rot."

"I'm not content with such an ending, so I'll do whatever it takes, wholeheartedly striving to climb higher and enhance my martial arts cultivation. Even if it means pushing myself to the brink of death, I'm willing."

"After all, pushing myself to the brink of death is still better than dying at the hands of others."

"However... Young Master Yun and Miss Yan are of noble birth, and I dare not, nor can I, offend them. Because you two only need to speak, and I'll immediately be at your mercy."

Fang Che's face was filled with determination, "Young Master Yun... General Commander, please don't make it difficult for me."

Feng Yun listened intently, knowing these words came from the heart.

Even Feng Yi and Feng Er, upon hearing this, showed subtle reactions.

In their hearts, they sighed.

They understood, for they were once servants themselves, and knew the implications of Fang Che's words.

But Fang Che had excellent martial arts talent, allowing him to climb to such heights with his attitude. They, however, could not achieve such glory.

But that didn't mean they couldn't understand.

Because everyone had this attitude at some point!

However, not everyone was like Fang Che.

Feng Yun paused, then spoke gently, "I can understand your experiences, but I can't say I empathize. Yet, I can still sense it to some extent."

"It's not easy, and your journey to this point is indeed a miracle. I'm not sure if I could do the same in your position."

"This time, I'm asking about your future prospects, not your future."

"You need to understand these two points clearly."

Feng Yun said, "I know you are Yan Beihan's person, so why would I ask you for an evaluation of the two of us, which would only make you feel awkward? But as a member of the Only Righteous Sect, you are, after all, a Night Demon. This point remains unchanged, whether you are my person, Yan Beihan's person, or Chen Yin's person. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

"Then I want to see how far you have considered it."

Feng Yun smiled, his attitude very amiable.

This was not because Fang Che's words had touched him, but because Fang Che's words had helped Feng Yun piece everything together.

He understood clearly.

First, the Night Demon is a pawn of Yan Nan—so the Night Demon cannot die—Night Demon has the ability and a promising future in the Martial Path—while I am Feng Yun of the Only Righteous Sect—regardless of who the Night Demon serves, they are ultimately my person—finally, the value of these words lies in consolidating all the above points, forming a new Night Demon in Feng Yun's mind.

It also allows Feng Yun to recognize the 'true Night Demon.'

This is the value of Fang Che's words.

On the surface, it seems like he is trying to gain sympathy, but in reality, it is far from that.

However, such a tactic can only work on smart people. If it were told to a fool, it would be like hearing a speech that is just a speech.

And Feng Yun is, of course, a smart person.

Fang Che said, "Then, I will boldly speak my mind. If I am wrong, please forgive me, Young Master Yun."

Feng Yun's expression changed.

The Night Demon now refers to him as Young Master Yun, rather than Chief Administrator, which is very subtle.

"Young Master Yun must have noticed that ever since I met you, I have always been very amiable and have been trying to get closer. Even using tactics like being cute and shameless, which I have never used before and find embarrassing, I have used them. You are wise and should have noticed this."

Fang Che spoke very candidly.

Feng Yun smiled, "That's why I asked you this question."

"Yes, because I feel... the future of the Only Righteous Sect..."

Fang Che seemed to be thinking very hard, making a difficult decision before saying, "Regardless of whose camp I privately choose, in the future, I will inevitably be under Young Master Yun's leadership."

"No one can change this."

"No one can change it. Even if Lord Yan can truly stand on equal footing with you, Young Master Yun, the most it will be like the current situation with the nine Deputy Sect Leaders. I will still be under your leadership."

"And that day, Young Master Yun made it very clear that everything is for the benefit of the Only Righteous Sect, and there will be no dragging each other down or setting traps. This way, no matter whom I choose, in the future, within our sect, the two factions will at most be like water not mixing with water, and there will never be a day of opposition."

"Lord Yan has never done anything detrimental to you, Young Master Yun, which makes his stance very clear."

"Moreover, being in in Southeast, I have a natural advantage. I cannot get closer to now to. the time to get closer to to Young Master Yun's side is the best time to get you."

. This is the best time to get closer you."

."

"So, Young Master Yun, I have a natural advantage when. This is the only time to get closer."

, I have no choice to choose."

."

"Thus, the Only Righteous Sect is the best time to get better."

, I have no choice."

"Furthermore, the Only Righteous Sect is the best time to shine it,, ""But,"I have a natural advantage the Only Righteous Sect of the0 future."

Fang Che's words were laid bare before Young Master Yun.

He had considered all the angles and decided that, regardless of whose camp he was in, his ultimate loyalty would be to Young Master Yun.

This was not just a matter of personal choice but also a matter of survival and strategic position.

)



Feng Yun paced back and forth, frowning slightly, he pondered the the Night Demon's sincerity.

However, he also felt a subtle unease. At this level, there was no longer any question of 'you choose me, I choose you.'

He only needed to consider whether to accept the Night Demon and what responsibilities it would entail.

)

However, with the backing of the Demon Sect Fiendesses and Yan Beihan's secret support, the Night Demon was a different story!

Feng Yun was almost certain that as long as he showed his support, the Night Demon's blade would dare to strike at the Nine Great Families.

Perhaps he wouldn't dare to target the direct lineage, but those outside it, the Night Demon could slaughter them like cutting melons and vegetables as he grew stronger. After all, these were the very people blocking his path to promotion!

This was a certainty that didn't require further consideration.

However, if the Night Demon wasn't recruited, his Martial Path prospects were simply too tempting.

Feng Yun knew that while he was considered a genius, he might not reach the peak like Duan Xiaying in the Martial Path. He had too many things to consider, and there were too many distractions.

If he truly managed to rise to the upper echelons in the future, the number of things he'd have to worry about would increase tenfold. Right now, these Vice Sect Leaders were slacking off and being lazy. Feng Yun was well aware of this.

Once he had people to command, why not push them to their limits? These old folks would definitely shrink back, each faster than the last!

But the Night Demon was single-minded and focused solely on the Martial Path.

He was truly someone who could become the Great Dharma Protector of the Only Righteous Sect in the future!

After much deliberation, Feng Yun's face broke into a warm smile, and he said, "Night Demon, your thoughts are profound, and you have a keen eye for things. I'm very impressed!"

"Yes, thank you, Young Master Feng, for your praise," replied Fang Che, feeling a bit disappointed.

Feng Yun intentionally avoided the topic of his own proximity.

This made Fang Che's plan to improve his cultivation and then kill with his blade temporarily... not feasible.

But Fang Che also understood that Feng Yun's concerns were justified. If he didn't consider anything and directly showed his respect for the wise and virtuous, then...

Fang Che would have to suspect that this guy was trying to harm him...

The contest between these shrewd individuals was hidden in every word and even the tone of each word.

But finally, it came to an end.

"Then... Chief Commander, I bid you farewell," Fang Che said, proposing his departure.

Feng Yun smiled, his expression filled with meaning, and said, "Night Demon, protect yourself and don't die."

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Chief Commander," Fang Che replied, understanding the hidden message.

"This subordinate will definitely not die," Fang Che said, bowing.

"Go," Feng Yun said, lifting his teacup. "If there's anything, remember to send a message at any time."

Fang Che bowed.

He turned and took large strides out of the Martial Arena.

His figure soon disappeared.

Feng Yun pondered, "Night Demon... is very dangerous, but he's also a talent."

Feng Yi spoke softly, "Young Master, have you guessed his true identity?"

Feng Yun smiled faintly, "I can't guess. If I did, I'd lose my eligibility for the true contest. This is one of Yan Vice Commander's tricks."

Feng Yi's eyes revealed a smile.

Feng Yun spoke softly, "These old foxes... are truly old foxes. If I'm not careful, I'll fall into their trap and won't be able to climb out. I've already fallen into one trap..."

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

Why did he value power so much? Why did he worry about others catching up and competing with him?

What was this if not a trap?

He even mentioned the position of the crown prince...

Sometimes, a single hint could be enough to doom an entire imperial dynasty's crown prince.

...

Fang Che strode out of the Southeast Headquarters, his gait majestic and powerful, or arrogant and lawless, like a crab, depending on your perspective.

After leaving the Southeast Headquarters, he looked around, and the surrounding mountains were silent and empty.

Fang Che let out a long whistle, shaking the wind and clouds.

Then, he soared into the sky, floating leisurely.

Inside, Feng Yun was speechless.

"This damn Night Demon is afraid that Qi Tianyue won't intercept him, so he even lets out a long whistle..."

Feng Yi's shoulders shook with laughter, "This guy is indeed interesting. Young Master, do you want me to follow him and take a look?"

Feng Yun smiled faintly, "This is the subordinate sect's world... Why would you follow him?"

He smiled faintly, "The Golden Demon Sect still has some strength. Against the Night Demon, they might not die, but at the very least, they should be able to protect Qi Tianyue and help him escape..."

Feng Er chuckled, "Not necessarily. Qi Tianyue is a Ninth Rank Saint, and the Night Demon beat him like a drum. These fifty people have a cultivation level of Ninth Rank Saint at most, and there are only four of them, none of whom are at the peak of the Ninth Rank."

Feng Yun didn't speak and stood up, saying, "I'm going to rest for a while and take a nap."

He turned and left.

Both Feng Yi and Feng Er knew that he wasn't going back to sleep but to lie down and think, which was Feng Yun's habit.

But this also proved that he had completely let go of the conflict between the Night Demon Sect and the Golden Cloud Sect.

Regardless of who won or lost, who lived or died, Feng Yun could accept it.

It didn't matter.

"Who do you think will win?" Feng Er asked Feng Yi.

"I'm betting my life and everything on the Night Demon's victory," Feng Yi said. "Do you dare to take the bet?"

"I won't gamble!"

...

Fang Che strolled out, his demeanor carefree and relaxed, attracting attention wherever he went.

Stepping out, they traveled several hundred li.

As they passed through a valley...

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Countless hidden weapons rained down from all directions like a torrential storm.

How could Fang Che, who was scouting ahead with the Golden Horned Dragon, be hit?

But he appeared flustered, frantically blocking the attacks.

Clang, clang, clang... The longsword moved like the wind, deflecting countless hidden weapons.

Suddenly, he grunted and a streak of blood spurted from his body. He roared, "Who?! Who's ambushing me?!"

He even fell like a broken kite.

Standing on the ground, he hurriedly tended to his wound.

But after a long while, no one came to take advantage.

Fang Che hummed, knowing that such petty tricks couldn't fool anyone. After all, if the Night Demon, renowned throughout the world, could be so easily hit by hidden weapons... that would be hard to explain.

He regained his confident and proud demeanor.

Without a hint of embarrassment, he strode forward, cursing all the way, "You cowardly scoundrels, always resorting to underhanded tactics. If you have the guts, come out and fight! If you don't, scram! What a nuisance! I come out once, and I encounter such disgusting scum!"

Just as they exited the forest...

They saw fifty-one people standing silently outside.

Leading them was Qi Tianyue, who mocked Fang Che, "Night Demon Sect Leader, how does it feel to be ignored when you're trying to act all mysterious? Embarrassing, isn't it?"

Fang Che retorted, "I'm just playing with you idiots. You have a problem with that?"

Qi Tianyue stared at Fang Che with cruel eyes and said calmly, "Night Demon, I'm giving you a chance. If you insist on seeking death, I can't help you. Unfortunately, the legend of the Night Demon may end today."

Fang Che sighed and looked at Qi Tianyue with pity. "If you want to fight, then fight. Why all the blabbering? Who taught you to show off with so much nonsense before a battle?"

He stood tall in the middle of the road and declared, "Come on, Qi Tianyue. If you like to talk, then talk. Let's witness together if your words can kill me! Go ahead, talk!"

Qi Tianyue roared, "Night Demon!"

"You won't admit that you're an idiot? What else are you if not an idiot?"

Fang Che looked at him with a mocking gaze, "Do you think you have the upper hand just because you outnumber me? You're so eager to show your despicable, triumphant face? Do you want to demonstrate your confidence in victory by your numbers? From the start, I've been cursing you, and all you did was roar 'Night Demon'? You just want to show off your loud voice?"

Finally, Qi Tianyue couldn't hold back, "Kill! Kill him!"

"Indeed, your voice is not small."

Just then, the Golden Cloud Sect members on the other side started to make their move. Fang Che leaped into action, taking the lead. The Seven Stars shone brightly, illuminating the sky.

"Qi Tianyue, look at this. This is called a sword. Remember, only this can kill!"

Plop!

A Saint-level expert from the Golden Cloud Sect on the left suddenly fell back, his throat pierced with a single red point.

No one even saw how the Night Demon made his move.

Then, like a whirlwind, Fang Che charged into the crowd, a sword beam like a venomous snake chasing after Qi Tianyue.

In that instant of entering the crowd...

All killing intent and demonic energy erupted without restraint! Boom!

Everyone suddenly felt as if the Netherworld Gateway had opened in the sky, and countless malevolent ghosts poured out endlessly.

Under the combined eruption of demonic energy from Sun Wutian and the Blood Demon, two top-tier demonic leaders, along with Fang Che's own demonic energy going wild, everyone from the Golden Cloud Sect had their hearts and minds shaken, almost instantly seized.

Killing intent instantly filled the sky.

At this moment, Fang Che's body suddenly turned crimson, and the Blood Smoke Hand was raised.

The Blood Spirit Seven Swords in his right hand, and the Blood Smoke Hand in his left.

Boom! With a single strike, the blood of two Saint-level experts from the Golden Cloud Sect was drawn out like a long dragon by the Blood Smoke Hand, instantly turning them into dried corpses.

The Blood Spirit Seven Swords glittered like stars, scattering across the sky.

Plop, plop, plop...

Four corpses spun and fell.

Each with a single red point on their throats, but their dantian and brains were already reduced to mush.

Boom, boom! Two more Saint-level experts from the Golden Cloud Sect engaged Fang Che in palm strikes, but their blood sprayed as they were shaken by his blows. At the same time, the Blood Smoke Hand coiled around, and blood continuously gushed from their throats.

Under the Blood Smoke Hand, they instantly turned into thick blood fog, swirling around Fang Che. In an instant, his body disappeared, enveloped by the dense blood fog.

The blood fog surged, waves and billows, swirling and undulating, filled with demonic roars and ghostly cries. At this moment, everyone felt like they had entered hell! Their faces turned deathly pale.

The Night Demon's ferocity truly shocked everyone from the Golden Cloud Sect!

Amidst the blood-red mist, the demonic shadow flickered, and even the true Massacre Demon Lord didn't have such an imposing aura! The bloody smell rose to the sky, instantly enveloping the entire mountain forest.

"You think you can ambush me, the Night Demon?! How many from the Golden Demon Sect will die? Come!"

In the crimson mist, the Night Demon's laughter sounded like a malevolent ghost demanding life. The blood fog surged, and as he reached out, his fingers couldn't be seen. In an instant, he enveloped seven people, trapping them in the blood fog.
