Chapter 744: The Great Demon! [Part 2]
Chapter 744: The Great Demon! [Part 2]
"Form a line!"
"Farewell to the Battle Zone!"
"Farewell to the Ancestors! Farewell to our fellow warriors in battle! Wishing them well!"
"We come today with no regret! We will return when summoned!"
Under the command, thirty-seven people knelt in unison.
They bowed towards the battle zone.
Bidding farewell to their youthful days and to the elders and friends who had left their names here; they were also bidding farewell to the continuous mountain range that was almost like the flesh and blood of the Guardians!
The wind howled in the vast sky, brushing past their faces gently.
It was as if the ancient ancestors were also bidding farewell to them.
In the midst of silence, there were faint sounds of choking.
The group turned around and walked further and further away.
They entered the boundless desert where yellow sand filled the sky.
They had truly left, and the group fell into silence.
Along the way, they kept looking back.
Although the yellow sand obscured everything, they still insisted on turning back repeatedly.
The two guides couldn't bear the silent atmosphere.
One of them broke the silence, "This... Uncle, Grand Aunt... Which secret realm of the Feng Clan are you from?"
"The First Secret Realm, First Team!"
The group responded indifferently.
"Which secret realm is Uncle Wind Blade in?"
"Yes, he's back, right?"
"Yes, he's currently with the family."
The group's faces lit up with smiles.
They were determined to have a good drink with Wind Blade when they returned, as he had often taken advantage of his captain status to discipline them. Now, they would use their seniority to get back at him!
The two guides couldn't hold back any longer, "It's said that Fang Tu is now the captain inside?"
The thirty-seven people were astonished, "Fang Tu? Who?"
"Fang Tu is your captain, isn't his name Fang Che?" The two guides were surprised, "Isn't it him?"
"Yes, yes, it's him."
The thirty-seven people became excited, "So his name is Fang Tu?"
"Fang Tu is a nickname given by the people in the martial world... Who dares to call him that to his face?" The two guides stuck out their tongues.
"No one dares to even mention his name in front of him? He's that formidable?"
"I'll be damned... This isn't just a matter of being formidable or not. It's..."
Both guides felt they couldn't describe it.
Recalling Wind Blade's awe-inspiring deeds done by Fang Tu, the two guides couldn't help but laugh, "We won't go into details, but once you leave the desert and enter the city, you can find out for yourselves. You'll know then."
"Is it easy to find out?"
"Yes, it's easy. Just ask anyone."
"He's that famous?"
"Not just that. Anyone on the continent who hasn't heard of Fang Tu must be living under a rock. We're talking about ordinary people who don't cultivate."
"..."
The thirty-seven people stared at each other in disbelief.
Two days later.
After asking around, the group was shocked and headed towards the Feng Clan.
Even swallowing a little semen.
"He's killed over a hundred million!
Suddenly remembering the codename 'Relationship' that Wind Blade had given, the thirty-seven people burst into laughter.
"Wind Blade has really done something great."
"You're killing me with laughter!"
"No wonder the captain refuses to reveal his name. If I were him, I wouldn't say it either!"
"Hahaha... So that's the reason."
"Wind Blade has made a name for himself this time! But it's also over for him!"
"Hahaha..."
The thirty-seven people finally understood why Yan Xi Feng wanted them to spread the word when they returned. After spreading the word, Wind Blade would likely become an outcast within the family.
He'd be too embarrassed to show his face, and he might even get beaten up by the Ancestor!
"But speaking of it, don't you think it's not easy?"
Someone spoke up, "The captain has such a renowned and illustrious reputation outside, but when he entered, we looked down on him. Did he say anything?"
"He didn't say a word, what kind of magnanimity is this?"
"He's always been cautious and tried to fit in, never arguing back, always enduring with composure. It wasn't until he fought the enemy that his true abilities were revealed. To be honest, if it were us, with such an impressive identity, and we endured such treatment inside, what would we do?"
The group fell silent.
They felt a sense of respect rising from their hearts.
Because they knew they couldn't do the same.
"Great figures are not only defined by their martial prowess but also by their magnanimity."
The group suddenly realized.
"We should do something for the captain!"
"We can't do anything, but helping him get some justice is good too."
"That's not right... Wind Blade is still our former captain..."
"Oh, Wind Blade is one of our own... It's fine to endure a little."
"Since that's the case, then we should do this and that?"
"We must do this and that."
"But we can't deliberately do this and that."
"Got it! We must do this and that subtly..."
"Hahaha..."
"Let's go! Home!"
"Home!!"
The thirty-seven people's eyes shone with intense longing.
Two simple words, 'home,' were so ordinary, but at this moment, they were so precious.
In the beginning, I set out to fulfill the duties of a Guardian, filled with passion and determination, embarking on a journey far from my home.
I had thought that I would never return in this lifetime.
After experiencing countless life-and-death situations, I finally embarked on the journey home. The closer I got, the more my heart raced. When I finally reached that familiar intersection, the landscape imprinted in my heart since childhood, brought tears to everyone's eyes, blurring their vision.
Is home still the same?
Are my parents well?
Are my wife and children safe?
Do they know... that I'm back?
The child who has endured countless life-and-death trials has returned!
...Thank you, Commander!
...
While the Feng family outside was feeling sentimental about Fang Che, Fang Che was inside, subjecting the Feng family disciples to a brutal special training.
His standards were ten times stricter than Uncle Wind Blade's.
Moreover, he kept taking them out to find Bi Fangdong.
"Bring fifty people for a friendly spar!" Fang Che suggested with a mischievous smile.
"What's wrong? You don't want to?" Fang Che's face twisted into a familiar sinister smile.
"No one is allowed to die!"
"Hurry up!"
It must be said that sparring with the enemy, such a genius idea and creative promotion among geniuses, allowed every Feng family disciple to progress like the wind.
But it was different for the disciples of the Only Righteous Sect, the Bi family.
Who would willingly endure this?
Are we guarding the secret realm? We're being slaves to the enemy!
And we're slaves who get beaten every day and don't even get fed!
Speaking seriously, even real slaves have it better than us!
At least they get fed, right?
But according to this relationship commander, feeding is not a concern.
Relationship Commander's Sayings, Volume 1: We fight life-and-death battles, we have a life-and-death vengeance! It's a generational vengeance! Who cares about food?
Relationship Commander's Sayings, Volume 2: We've been fighting and killing for so many years, we've become friends. Even enemies can become friends, come, let's spar! Just don't go too far, okay?
Relationship Commander's Sayings, Volume 3: Bi Fangdong, I miss you! Come out quickly!
Relationship Commander's Sayings, Volume 4: Bi Fangdong, don't be ungrateful!
Relationship Commander's Sayings, Volume 5: Everyone has worked hard today.
Relationship Commander's Sayings, Volume 6: If you don't listen, I'll send you to live in that cave of yours!...
In short.
Whatever the matter, Relationship Commander has the final say.
Today he says this is white, and it's white. Tomorrow he says this is black, and it becomes black again.
Moreover, with a crazy face that keeps changing, one second he's amiable and kind, the next he's grinning maliciously, his eyes cruelly scanning, his jowls twitching...
Now, the people from the Only Righteous Sect have given Relationship Commander a codename that belongs to them: Devil!
"That Devil is challenging us again."
"This life is unbearable... encountering such a Devil!"
"I thought I was a Devil, but today I realized I'm far from the standard!"
"Is this really a Guardian? Isn't this just a pure Devil?"
"In my life, I've never seen such a Guardian..."
"Yet we encountered such a Devil... truly asking Heaven..."
"Such a great Devil! Waaah, I want to go home..."
The last sentence was Tiger Head Commander Bi Fangdong's true thoughts.
Dignity... there's not a trace of it left. Self-respect, there's also not a trace.
Now, even the basic self-respect needs Bi Fangdong to threaten with mutual annihilation for it to be obtained a little.
This life, truly miserable beyond words!
But today, Bi Fangdong's days of hardship finally ended! The reinforcements have arrived!
...
The light circle of the secret realm's gateway appeared, and the first figure stepped in with heavy footsteps. Bi Fangdong was so excited he almost cried.
Finally, finally, someone to share my burden has arrived! But Bi Fangdong showed a face of sternness, gloom, serenity, strength, and the weariness of a determined warrior scarred by the flames of war.
His body stood straight, his brows furrowed, and he demanded, "Who's there?"
The first person to step in from the light circle was a middle-aged man with a hooked nose and a gloomy face. He said indifferently, "Brother Dong, don't you recognize me?"
"Bi Fangzheng?"
Bi Fangdong was a little disappointed. His cousin, whose cultivation was much weaker than his. If it's him leading the reinforcements, does that mean I have to continue as the commander?
After that, four hundred people entered one after another.
A Sacred King-level expert led the way. The elite of the elite.
But Bi Fangdong's spirits sank. "Just the two of you?"
"Not bad. We were on duty outside, and it's been a year since we last took a shift. When we heard your call for help, we came immediately."
Bi Fangzheng asked, "What happened? So many casualties? Was the battle this intense?"
"Intense beyond words! The enemy's strength surpasses ours."
Bi Fangdong sighed.
First, a precautionary measure.
"Hehe..."
Bi Fangzheng smiled faintly. "I'll see the enemy's strength for myself later."
"You must be careful. What's your cultivation level?"
"Fifth Stage Sacred King."
Bi Fangzheng said, "But it should be enough."
Bi Fangdong sighed heavily. "I'm at Peak Ninth Stage."
Bi Fangzheng fell silent.
Then he exclaimed in shock, "Peak Ninth Stage... crushed by the enemy?"
Bi Fangdong nodded silently, his face bitter.
Bi Fangzheng immediately suppressed the arrogant aura he had when he first entered.
He rubbed his face, "Who's their commander?"
"It's called Relationship."
Bi Fangdong said, "Heard he's a crony."
"Brother Dong!"
Bi Fangzheng couldn't understand, his face contorted, "You can't even beat a crony?"
Bi Fangdong's face twisted even more than his younger brother's, "Brother, you'll understand once you face him."
After a pause, he said, "Their commander is only at the Fifth Rank of the Venerable Tier."
Bi Fangzheng's eyes widened, "You're joking, right?"
"I wish this was a joke more than you do!"
Bi Fangdong almost lost control, but he managed to hold it in. His face only contorted slightly.
Bi Fangzheng was startled by his brother's reaction, his face turning pale, "Brother Dong, don't scare me."
He patted his younger brother's shoulder, "Since you're here, you'll be the deputy commander."
"Yes, brother."
"Okay, tomorrow, you'll lead the team out to engage with them. Get a feel for their strength."
"Yes, brother."
Bi Fangdong said, "Now that you're here, I can take a few days off."
"Yes, brother."
"Go and rest first."
"Yes, brother. I'll have them introduce themselves to each other."
Bi Fangzheng replied.
Bi Fangdong rolled his eyes, wanting to say: There's no need to introduce themselves, they'll probably all be dead in a few days.
But he held back, patting his younger brother's shoulder, and said weakly, "Finally, you're here to relieve me. I'll take a nap. This period has been exhausting."
"Yes, brother."
Fang Che was cultivating intensely on his side.
He took out sixty-six Supreme Spirit Crystals and set up an array in the cave, and with the added spiritual power from the Fortune Spirit Stone, the entire cave was as warm as spring, and spirit energy roared.
Everyone's foundations were replenished, and they felt their minds were especially agile, often experiencing enlightenment!
And occasionally, they even had sudden insights!
This truly delighted everyone, making their hearts feel like they would explode.
Each person seized every second, and their strength improved significantly in just a few days.
As the team leader and the one with the highest cultivation, Langya, broke through from the late Fourth Stage Sacred King to the Fifth Stage.
Many others also broke through their cultivation levels.
In the recessed area at the back where the Fortune Spirit Stone was produced, the two small iron plates continued to absorb fortune energy endlessly.
Not only did they absorb the fortune energy from the Guardians' side, but especially from the Only Righteous Sect's side, it was pouring in like crazy.
Because the fortune energy on the Guardians' side was fixed, just these, so when you draw, it only slowly replenishes.
But the Only Righteous Sect's side was different. When you draw from the front, the back would rush in crazily.
With one push, a compression... the flow rate increased significantly.
And it got faster and faster. The other side kept replenishing...
The more iron plates absorbed fortune energy from this side, the faster Fang Che and the others cultivated in the cave. The spirit energy also became denser.
The sense of sudden insight followed...
This was a positive cycle.
But even Fang Che himself didn't know about this.
And the group of Feng Family disciples naturally knew nothing either.
"The commander is here, and with good news, his spirit is refreshed. It's really like this. With increased spirit energy, even his cultivation state has improved... truly amazing."
"This is great news!"
Fang Che also felt his progress was especially noticeable. Spirit energy roared into his body like crazy. The effects of cultivating here were almost ten times greater than outside!
Ten times? Especially for a freak like Fang Che, it would be absolutely terrifying to hear about such cultivation.
The array formed by sixty-six Supreme Spirit Crystals was used up in just two days! This consumption made everyone's hearts ache.
Fang Che got angry and wanted to switch to the Crystal of Fortune.
Everyone was startled and desperately stopped the team leader: That's a good thing for restoring foundations.
It was also to blame for previously praising the Crystal of Fortune too much. How could they bear to use such a treasure for cultivation?
"It's from the other side, they've already used it." Fang Che argued.
"That won't do!"
The group's attitude was resolute: "Commander, we can't waste it like this..."
Just then, a roar came from outside, "Hey, you over there!"
Fang Che frowned, and the others did too.
This voice was quite brash.
"Such a ruckus, they're pretty bold over there. I haven't heard such boldness in a long time, and hearing it now, I really feel a bit scared."
Fang Che stroked his chin, putting on a fake 'I'm scared' expression.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Langya said, "Looks like they've received reinforcements. After all, we've killed nearly four hundred of them, so it's normal for reinforcements to arrive."
Fang Che said, "In that case, who's coming with me to check it out?"
"Should we all go?"
"That won't do. It'd be a waste of the spirit energy in the cave."
Fang Che firmly disagreed, "Team One and Two, come with me. Team Three and Four, stay in the cave to cultivate."
"Yes."
Fang Che led his men through the thin mist, only to find a crowd of four hundred people lined up in perfect formation on the other side.
Fang Che took a look and, sure enough, they were all unfamiliar faces.
Among the familiar faces, including Bi Fangdong, not a single one had shown up!
Even Fang Che could understand their absence: being humiliated daily, serving as sparring partners, and enduring insults that threatened their lives.
It seemed that the original group had had enough of this treatment.
So this time, they sent all newcomers.
Fang Che guessed that their intention was to give him a taste of their humiliation and assert their own righteousness.
Fang Che felt he had understood their thoughts.
With a swagger, he led his men into the field. Without lifting his head or opening his eyes, he used a small flying blade to pick at his fingernails, "Who's so rude? Shouting and screaming, I was just sleeping. You scared me with your wailing, and you ruined my dream. What do you want?"
On the other side, Bi Fangzheng stared at the young man in front of him, his pupils shrinking as he shouted, "Are you related to him?!"
"Are you an idiot?"
Fang Che coolly replied, "You didn't even ask around before coming out to die?"
Instantly, behind Bi Fangzheng, several dozen people roared in unison, "How dare you!"
"Arrogant!"
"Insolent!"
The newly arrived reinforcement experts from the Only Righteous Sect were indeed all in high spirits.
"You bastards!"
Fang Che was startled, turning to look at Langya and the others, his face filled with astonishment, "Don't you know what it means to be a fearless calf? Now you'll see!"
Langya and the others burst into laughter.
"We understand, we understand. We've truly gained knowledge; the learning effect is especially good here because we have examples."
"Hahahaha..."
The crowd had a good laugh. Ever since they witnessed the captain's first display of power, even the Fifth Rank Holy King, Bi Fangdong, had become well-behaved. These newcomers were so bold!
They dared to call out in front of the captain!
Fang Che chuckled, looking at Bi Fangzheng, "What's your name? Tell me, and if it's a good one, I'll let you go back to discuss it with Bi Fangdong today."
Bi Fangzheng said coldly, "It's related. I know you're arrogant, but I didn't expect you to be this arrogant. My name is Bi Fangzheng. When you descend into the Netherworld, remember who killed you."
Fang Che glanced at him, looking him up and down, "There's only one thing I hate, and that's that all of your names have the character 'Fang' in them."
Bi Fangzheng was taken aback, "What does that have to do with you?"
Fang Che rolled his eyes and said, "This time, with your reinforcement, these people are here to die?"
"That's enough to kill you!" Bi Fangzheng burst into laughter and was about to launch an attack.
However, the captain suddenly raised his hand over his head, slowly clenching his fist.
The knuckles were clearly visible.
With a deep howl, he shouted, "Feng Clan disciples!"
Suddenly, like a thunderclap, three hundred and twenty voices erupted from behind him, "Eternal!"
Then, Bi Fangzheng felt as if the sky in front of him had suddenly collapsed, and the ground beneath his feet had caved in!
In an instant, the space within the Mystic Realm transformed into a sinister hell!
The Netherworld Gate swung open.
Countless malevolent spirits, with bared fangs, frantically surged out, their claws wildly scratching at his face.
The sky collapsed, the ground caved in, and countless malevolent spirits burst forth from the ground.
In front of him, the sky shone brightly, like the stars in the heavens, suddenly crashing down.
In the first moment, Fang Che unleashed his full power, executing the Ultimate Thirteen Blade Technique!
The Deathbound Blade Technique.
Using the power of the Boundless Dharma Sutra, he merged with the might of heaven, earth, wind, clouds, stars, sun, and moon, and unleashed all his killing aura!
He released all of Sun Wutian's malevolent aura!
With the force of a collapsing sky and ground, he unleashed his attack.
In the air, thirteen blades flashed and disappeared, followed by another thirteen!
A total of forty-six blades were launched!
Six hundred flying blades, and Fang Che released five hundred and ninety-eight of them in one go! The entire sky was already enveloped by the flying blade's glow.
The Heaven King Pill slid down his throat.
The Heaven-Hating Thirteen Movements, unleashed together!
The sky and earth collapsed!
"Kill!!"
A trembling roar erupted from Fang Che's throat, like the sound of shattering heaven and earth!
It was as if the Deathbound Blade Technique, which had once ravaged the land but ended in regret, had suddenly reappeared! The flying blade technique, condensed with his entire cultivation, was once again displayed in the mortal realm!
It was as if the Heavenless Blade Demon had suddenly turned over a new leaf and dedicated himself to protecting the mortal realm!
That extreme complexity, that extreme opposition, that intertwining of time, that heaven's teasing, that life's regret!
At this moment, Fang Che truly felt the original heart of the Deathbound Blade Technique.
That yearning for the flying blade to once again be stained with demon blood, and that regret of being unable to step onto the battlefield, was now being fulfilled!
The six hundred flying blades seemed to have gained a life of their own!
And Sun Wutian's heart of slaying heaven with a single blade, Fang Che seemed to have truly grasped it!
Fang Che even believed that if Sun Wutian were given the chance, if Sun Wutian truly had that power, he would definitely wield his blade towards heaven!
Asking heaven: Why do you tease me so?
Blood and flesh flew, and a blood wave rose to the sky!
