Chapter 39: This Is All According to the Leader's Intentions.
This turned into a life-threatening situation.
No one expected that in the well-prepared arena, a disaster of bloodshed would suddenly occur!
Ximen Xuri was filled with madness, his eyes were already dull with despair.
Having cultivated to this point, all his deadly skills were mostly in his right hand's concealed weapons. Now, his right hand had been cut off by Fang Che with a single stroke!
And then stepped on!
Originally, it could have been reattached, but after this kick, he was doomed to be disabled!
His whole life was ruined!
His eyes were full of resentful killing intent. He had forgotten everything and only wanted to kill for revenge!
The chief referee leaped up: "Stop..."
At this moment, Fang Che seemed to have restrained his anger, moved the sword away, took a step back, and secretly gathered his cultivation, giving Ximen Xuri the opportunity to counterattack. Then, with some apology, he turned back and said, "Sorry, teacher, I couldn't hold back..."
The two referees also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's..."
Just then, there were countless shouts from the audience below: "Be careful!"
A loud roar!
From Ximen Xuri's left sleeve, a sudden flash of red light appeared.
It was the Red Blood Snake!
This was even more unexpected. No one had thought that Ximen Xuri would still not give up at this point.
No.
It's not that he hasn't given up, but that he wants to kill Fang Che for revenge!
He had lost his sanity.
This time, it was truly too late.
On the high platform in the distance, two figures leaped up directly, flying like lightning, but it was already too late.
At this critical moment!
"Damn it!"
The sword light suddenly flashed. Fang Che turned around, roared violently, and with infinite rage, the sword light fell down overwhelmingly!
The Red Blood Snake was cut in half with one stroke. Before the foul-smelling blood could splatter out, the sword light had already split Ximen Xuri's head from top to bottom, from the top of his head to between his legs!
The two halves of the body fell down separately.
On the separated faces, there was still resentment.
Fang Che held the sword in his hand, maintaining the posture of the cleaving sword, his whole body trembling violently, his face pale.
Seemingly frightened.
With a swish.
Two senior instructors landed on the platform, and the two referees had also acted.
But everything was already too late.
Ximen Xuri had already been split in half.
No, it was three pieces. And there was that arm!
"Ah! This..."
Several instructors stomped and sighed heavily on the platform, not knowing what to say.
The incident happened in the arena, with tens of thousands of eyes watching who was right and who was wrong.
The development of this matter, although Fang Che is the killer, everyone knows that this can't be blamed on Fang Che!
Ximen Xuri had the upper hand from the beginning.
And it doesn't stop there.
Not only did he actively use a weapon, but he also used a hidden weapon. Moreover, the hidden weapon was deployed before any warning was given, clearly intending to kill without taking responsibility.
After being suddenly counterattacked, losing an arm, and having a sword held to his neck, he was already defeated. Fang Che, in his rage, restrained himself and spared your life. Yet, when he released you, you still wanted to sneak attack!
Being chopped by someone was well deserved, there's nothing more to say. It could even be said to be a relief!
Such a person is not worth lamenting for in death!
Looking at Fang Che, who was standing on the platform with a somewhat pale face, the youthful and delicate face of the young man, Zhong Ling, showed a hint of fear after the shock.
Perhaps this child has killed someone for the first time?
Although it was in a fit of anger and self-defense, Fang Che likely was quite frightened.
Countless girls felt a bit sorry for him.
This Ximen Xuri is really too much of a bully!
Fang Qingyun and a few others almost rushed onto the stage, extremely anxious: "Cousin! Cousin, are you okay?"
Fang Che's face was pale: "I should be okay... I, I... I killed someone?"
He fully displayed the fear of killing someone for the first time, after all, it was a human life.
Turning his head to look at Ximen Xuri's body, Fang Che immediately covered his mouth with one hand, as if he wanted to vomit.
On the platform, two instructors and two referees glanced at Fang Che with some suspicion.
There was something slightly suspicious about this matter.
But now was not the time to investigate.
First, clean up the arena, then quickly arrange for the next pair to take the stage.
"The competition continues!"
Then they left with Fang Che.
There was a lot of discussion below the stage, and even the battle on the stage was not of much concern anymore.
Almost everyone was unanimously of the opinion: Fang Che was not wrong! This Ximen Xuri deserved to die!
...
"Fang Che, were you initially at a disadvantage? We don't believe that you had the ability to break through the opponent's hidden weapon attack and counterattack while behind in strength. Please explain."
"I concealed my strength!"
Fang Che said calmly: "My cultivation was originally higher than his!"
"Oh? What is your martial level?"
"Fourth level!"
Fang Che explained: "Originally, I was at the third level. It was Deputy Mountain Master Huang Yifan who helped me advance a level after I arrived at the Martial Academy."
" Deputy Mountain Master Huang?"
The two senior instructors looked puzzled.
How did this matter involve Deputy Mountain Master Huang?
This... is getting a bit weird.
"Yes."
Fang Che didn't beat around the bush and shifted all the blame onto Deputy Mountain Master Huang Yifan, saying, "The Mountain Master told me that this bet was originally intended to teach the new students a lesson, so I shouldn't reveal all my strength. It would be bad if everyone bet on me. It wouldn't achieve the desired effect."
The two instructors looked at each other in confusion.
This is absolutely outrageous!
Can you actually manipulate things like this?
This made the two of them unable to ask the next questions they were prepared to ask.
It was arranged by the leader, and Fang Che did it according to the leader's intentions. What can you say? Did the leader already guess that Ximen Xuri would be so despicable and specifically arrange for Fang Che to counterattack?
This obviously doesn't make sense.
"...With your strength, you should have been able to control yourself and not kill." The instructor sighed, losing all the momentum of interrogation.
Fang Che said, "That strike was a subconscious life-saving strike. In that situation, I couldn't have held back. Perhaps after experiencing more of these kinds of incidents in the future, I will be able to restrain myself, but not now... My strength is insufficient."
This statement was not a lie.
The two instructors looked at each other and felt it made sense.
Let alone Fang Che, even they, in that situation, would have had their first thought to counterattack and eliminate the threat!
Not even able to hold back!
"When you entered the Martial Academy, you came as a swordsman. Why did you use a sword in today's battle?"
One of the instructors asked.
"My master is originally the Sword King. What's so strange about me using a sword?"
Fang Che said.
This statement really makes sense!
"That sword?"
"After Huang Shan Chang reminded me, I bought a sword to carry around as a disguise."
Fang Che said sincerely, "Actually, I don't know how to use a sword."
It was Deputy Mountain Master Huang again!
The two instructors both covered their foreheads with the same gesture, not wanting to speak anymore.
This...
I've never encountered such a speechless situation in my life!
Just then, the door opened.
A man with three long beards on his face stepped in.
He appeared to be in his forties or fifties, with a righteous face and a sense of being above worldly matters. Between his brows, there was a clear aura, and he exuded an aura of long-term high status, with a commanding presence even when not angry.
He walked in and said lightly, "Have you finished questioning?"
Both instructors stood up at the same time and said, "Director Meng."
Director Meng frowned and said, "Is something so obvious taking this long?"
"We have finished questioning."
"If you're done, hurry up and let him go!"
Director Meng waved his hand and then turned to Fang Che, his face showing a kind smile. "Go back and rest well. It must have been quite shocking today, your first time killing someone. It must not feel good, right? Take some pills that aid the soul, have a good sleep, and you'll be fine."
"Yes, thank you, Director Meng!"
Fang Che bowed to express his gratitude.
He was very obedient.
Sure enough, Director Meng smiled and said, "You are quite obedient, child."
After speaking, Director Meng took out a small bottle from his pocket. "There are two pills inside that can help calm your soul. I suppose you don't have many good things on you, so I'll just help you out."
"Thank you, Director Meng!"
Fang Che took it.
"You may go now."
Fang Che left.
The two senior instructors felt like they had a stomach full of old bile they couldn't vomit out!
Originally, when this matter was brought up and involved Huang Shan Chang, they felt unsure of what to do.
Who would have thought that Director Meng, who usually didn't interfere much, would also come over.
Could it be that Fang Che has a big background behind him?
That's not right... All the students' information is very detailed. Even if there is any background, it shouldn't be possible to hide it.
Moreover, there was no movement at all before the start of the school year.
"I'm also leaving to continue watching the big competition."
Director Meng left leisurely.
So, were you specifically here for Fang Che?
Are you afraid that we two have wronged this student?
Where did this come from?
The two instructors suddenly felt a bit skeptical about life.
This Director Meng is named Meng Chizheng. He is usually very low-key at the martial arts academy, not competing or grabbing for anything, with a righteous character, and he emphasizes fairness in everything. He is quite popular among the people at the martial arts academy.
This time, no one expected him to speak up for Fang Che.
Even though everyone saw the whole thing, there was no need for you, as the director, to personally intervene, right?
...
Fang Che went straight home.
This afternoon, the competition for these fifty people will end.
Tomorrow, the competition for twenty-five people will begin.
Sun Yuan is already in the courtyard, drinking tea and watching Ye Meng practice martial arts.
He occasionally gives some advice.
Ye Meng is sweating profusely from practicing.
Fang Che is young and good at fooling around. He can easily get by, but Sun Yuan is an old hand in the demonic sect, a pure old river and lake character.
Ye Meng must be on her toes to deal with him.
Fortunately, Sun Yuan's mind is completely elsewhere, and he is somewhat absent-minded, which also makes the little girl breathe a sigh of relief.
When Fang Che returned home, his face was still somewhat pale.
His body was trembling slightly.
Sun Yuan was immediately attracted over, stood up, and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Are you injured?"
He felt something was wrong.
Was he defeated? How could the mission be completed then?
"I'm not injured."
Fang Che felt a bit scared, his voice trembling slightly. "Today, I killed someone."
"I killed someone?" Sun Yuan was stunned. "Who did you kill?"
"Ximen Xuri, I killed him."
Fang Che's face was pale, still showing signs of lingering fear. "It's so disgusting, I feel like throwing up."
So that's how it is!
Sun Yuan immediately relaxed, and a sense of joy rose in him. "Isn't it right to kill Ximen Xuri? Why are you still scaring yourself? You still need more experience, my child."
Ye Meng rolled her eyes secretly. What the hell is he talking about?
Sure enough, Sun Yuan became more and more excessive: "What's the big deal about killing a couple of people? If your master finds a place, you can slaughter a village to practice. Don't take it to heart, just treat it like killing a dog. You'll get used to it slowly."
