Chapter 772: The Elder Demon's Inspection [Bonus Chapter for Meng Chong's Alliance Leader]
Chapter 772: The Elder Demon's Inspection [Bonus Chapter for Meng Chong's Alliance Leader]
Sun Wuti stood with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing coldly at Fang Che.
"I've said it before, this time, I will inspect your Heaven-Hating Blade and Death-Defying Flying Dagger! Yan Nan asked me to protect you, but... you also need to give me a reason to protect you."
"And it's up to me to decide if you're worthy."
"Yes, Master. I'm ready."
"Come at me with your blade!"
...
Once again, Fang Che faced a brutal beating from Sun Wuti, even harsher than the ones he received from Xue Fu Xiao and Fang Yun Zheng.
This time, it was a relentless assault, striking him directly in the face without holding back.
There was no mercy in Sun Wuti's attacks.
Sun Wuti was genuinely impressed by Fang Che's progress with the Heaven-Hating Blade, but because of this rapid improvement, Sun Wuti's blows became increasingly fierce.
Sun Wuti's thoughts were simple and straightforward: It seems my previous beating had an effect!
So, this time, he hit harder, believing it would lead to faster progress.
As the saying goes, a gem cannot be polished without grinding.
And so, Sun Wuti began to 'grind' Fang Che relentlessly!
After two hours of practicing the Heaven-Hating Blade, Fang Che was knocked unconscious more than twenty times.
However, Sun Wuti's superior skills and abundant supply of healing pills kept Fang Che in a cycle of being knocked out, revived, and then knocked out again... and so it continued.
All the while, Sun Wuti admonished him: "Remember the feeling you have before I knock you out. If it were someone else, you'd be dead by now."
Fang Che was in utter misery.
He had to remember the sensation of being knocked out and repeatedly relive it. This was truly... tsk, unreasonable!
Several hours later...
Finally, Sun Wuti was satisfied.
"Your progress this time is barely satisfactory," Sun Wuti said.
Fang Che wanted to cry but had no tears left.
His entire body felt like it had been trampled by a herd of elephants.
"You have half an hour. Then, I'll see your flying dagger skills."
When it came to the flying dagger, Sun Wuti became even stricter.
Although he knew how to use it, he was far from reaching the level of the Death-Defying Flying Dagger.
But this didn't matter.
Sun Wuti might not have reached the level of the Death-Defying Flying Dagger, but he remembered how it had attacked him back then.
That was the standard! If Fang Che couldn't meet that standard, he was being lazy. Sun Wuti's standard was even more straightforward.
And singular.
But Fang Che was utterly unlucky.
The Death-Defying Flying Dagger was a skill of the highest caliber, capable of battling Sun Wuti for an entire day and night.
What level was Fang Che at?
Using the standard of the Death-Defying Flying Dagger to judge Fang Che was like holding a phoenix to the standards of a grasshopper.
In one sentence:
Slapping a grasshopper repeatedly, asking, "Why can't you fly? I've taught you how a phoenix flies, so why can't you? Why? Why?!"
Fang Che was genuinely at a loss for words.
Desperately, he tried to strike with all his might.
Each time, Sun Wuti knocked him down.
Then, with a slap to the back of his head, he scolded, "You didn't even hit me!"
Fang Che's heart ached with grief, tears streaming down his face. "But you're Heavenless Blade Demon! How can I hit you when you're dodging with all your might? If you don't dodge, I can hit you!"
But how could Sun Wuti not dodge?
If he didn't, he'd receive another slap: "Useless!"
Fang Che endured countless hours of beatings.
Eventually, he gave up and lay on the ground, "Master, you can beat me to death... Even if you do, I won't get up again!"
It must be said that Sun Wuti was an absolute talent. With Fang Che's resilience, who in this world could push him to such a state?
Even Dong Fang San San couldn't. Sun Wuti knew Fang Che had reached his limit.
Kicking him away in frustration, he said, "Useless! After all these beatings, you still don't understand these flying daggers! You want to take the remaining three hundred daggers from me? Dream on!"
Fang Che, with a dejected expression, found himself thrown into the study.
Outside, dawn was breaking.
Yu Meng had already risen, her arm missing.
Seeing Fang Che, she was surprised, "When did you return? Where have you been these past two days?"
Fang Che could only explain with a sullen face, "I went to investigate the murderer..."
Only then did he realize he had been in Sun Wuti's domain for two days and two nights.
Fang Che truly wanted to tell Yu Meng, "Do you know what I've been through these past two days?"
Even if it were hell, it wouldn't be this miserable!
He flung himself into a recliner, closing his eyes. His entire body felt like it had fallen apart, and the exhaustion was indescribable.
"Zhao Zong Chang came by a few times these past two days," Yu Meng reminded him.
"It doesn't matter... I need to rest... I'm exhausted."
Fang Che closed his eyes, his fatigue evident.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, Zhao Shanhe arrived.
"Wake up, wake up... What have you been doing these past two days? Why do you look so tired?"
Zhao Shanhe was perplexed. How could someone caring for a sick person be this exhausted?
"I'm going out to investigate the murderer... It's exhausting..." Fang Che's eyelids were heavy again.
"Investigate the murderer?"
Zhao Shanheshan thought that with Fang Che's fiery temperament, encountering such an incident and not investigating the murderer to seek revenge would be the strangest thing. He immediately understood, "So, did you find any clues?"
"No... no leads..."
Fang Che's eyelids were already half-closed, "Let me sleep for a while..."
"I'll take care of it..."
Before Zhao Shanheshan could finish his sentence, Fang Che was already asleep.
His consciousness was hazy, and he couldn't hold on any longer.
He fell into a deep sleep.
Zhao Shanheshan spoke a few words before realizing Fang Che was asleep.
He stood up, scratching his head in confusion.
With Fang Che's current cultivation, what could have exhausted him so much? Was he at the limit of physical and mental fatigue?
With a confused expression, he asked Yu Meng, "Younger sister, what has he been up to these past few days?"
Yu Meng also looked confused, "I don't know either. That night, he left with a murderous aura... I thought he would stay home to take care of me, but he's been gone for two days without a trace."
"Today, he returned, looking as exhausted as if he had collapsed."
Yu Meng said, "I don't know what he's been up to either."
Although Yu Meng said she didn't know, Zhao Shanheshan imagined Fang Che's actions.
Just imagine, bearing the world's greatest merit, returning from the war zone in glory; during the welcoming ceremony, his young wife was killed, and his elder wife was crippled...
As a man, who could bear such humiliation?
Fang Che, with his proud and lofty spirit, of course, would seek to investigate the murderer.
So he went to investigate the murderer. Over these two days and two nights, from our perspective, it was just two days and two nights, but for Fang Che, he truly didn't know how many mountains and rivers he had crossed.
He was like a lone wolf in the snowstorm, carrying the sorrow of his deceased partner.
He was like a raging dragon in the world, driven mad by the death of his wife...
Searching tirelessly, with red eyes, through mountains and rivers, seeking the true culprit...
Thinking of this, Zhao Shanheshan almost cried out of emotion.
"Captain Fang, a man of temperament..."
Zhao Shanheshan sighed, then corrected himself, "No, he should be called General Fang now."
Looking at Fang Che with sympathy and understanding, he said, "Then, let him rest well. And when he wakes up, tell him to report to the Southeast Headquarters as soon as possible. The Patrol Hall, War Affairs Hall, and Law Enforcement Hall are all waiting for him, the General."
In reality, the order stated that Fang Che was the 'Guardian Continent's Life and Death Patrol Captain'. Strictly speaking, the Patrol Hall was not under Fang Che's jurisdiction.
But he was the General of the Guardian Continent.
So Zhao Shanheshan, with good reason, let the mistake stand, and included the Patrol Hall within Fang Che's responsibilities.
Zhao Shanheshan's thoughts were simple and honest: following Fang Che to make more money.
"Okay." Yu Meng agreed and saw Zhao Shanheshan out.
...
The Southeast Headquarters was indeed extremely busy, and Zhao Shanheshan didn't have much time.
The Meng Luo Family had been annihilated.
And it was Sun Wutian who had taken action. While everyone was investigating Fang Che's assassination, they were also allocating resources to handle this matter.
Although many things were found from the ruins of the Meng Luo Family, and there were some despicable crimes, there were also piles of unidentified bones...
And the account books also showed many... unpleasant matters; and several missing person cases were solved...
But the Meng Luo Family was truly gone! The entire family had perished, and these crimes... seemed to be buried with them.
There were still Meng Luo Family members outside, but these matters couldn't be pursued any further, after all, it was the main family's doing.
How could they bear the responsibility?
Even if they were the culprits, as long as they blamed the dead, where could they be investigated? So, the Southeast Headquarters had no choice but to handle these cases in a 'sweeping under the rug' manner, quickly glossing over them...
But during the investigation, the weak and elderly members of the Meng Luo Family were released.
They were neatly laid out at the entrance of the Guardian Hall.
Everyone was unconscious.
All who saw this were stunned: Was the Heaven-Hating Blade Demon actually having a change of heart? Did he actually spare the weak and elderly?
Was he so kind-hearted?
At this moment, the Meng Luo Family members who were outside had all returned.
And the Meng Luo Family was preparing for reconstruction. The newly returned members hadn't even had time to sit down properly when they began scrambling for power and profit.
It should be noted that although Sun Wutian had annihilated the Meng Luo Family, he didn't take anything.
In other words, the Meng Luo Family's wealth was still largely intact!
When the Guardian Hall staff was clearing the Meng Luo Family's property, they sealed it. After all, the family still had heirs, so they couldn't just confiscate it, right? So...
A problem arose.
Such a vast wealth, to whom did it belong?
The Meng Luo Family members who had rushed back, their eyes were red with anticipation!
