Lord of the night.

Chapter 1351 Sun Wutian's Breakthrough [Two-in-One]

Although the old devil was restrained and unable to fight back, he remained defiant and refused to beg for mercy.

Moreover, we had a good relationship with Feng Du back then, so we were all quite casual about what we did.

So instead of begging for mercy, they continued to provoke him.

"What kind of hero resorts to violence when you lose?"

"Never lost, have you?"

"Losing doesn't feel good, does it?"

"Tsk tsk... That feels so good!"

The only thing to do is to beat them up.

Old Sun just cursed.

But he was extremely shocked: Feng Du is so strong now?

It's unbelievable that they could compress themselves like this!
Even when facing Duan Xiyang, she didn't feel this 'completely powerless' feeling. But under Feng Du's hands, it was so real and tangible.

When Feng Du's beating of him came to an end, Sun Wutian couldn't help but ask, "Third Brother, have you taken that step?"

Feng Du snorted, wiped his hands, and said indifferently, "It's just taking a step, isn't that a normal thing? Anyone with feet can take a step."

Sun Wutian's face twisted in disgust: "Damn it... you might as well hit me. I can't stand people who act so arrogant..."

Feng Du asked smugly, "What, you didn't step out?"

Sun Wutian: "...Already halfway there, okay!"

"Tsk, half a step... half a step is called stepping? Stepping out... do you know what that means? Half a step is called standing still, understand?" Feng Du instructed.

“…Can you stop talking?” Sun Wutian’s face darkened.

"It's said that the foundation of the Heaven-Hate Blade has been broken?" Feng Du said coolly.

"……Grass!"

Sun Wutian spat angrily and turned his head away.

I shouldn't have talked to him!
"Tsk... How pathetic."

Feng Du said, "A bachelor, and his martial arts foundation has been broken. Tsk tsk..."

"Damn it..."

Sun Wutian's defenses were breached.

I don't know where the strength came from, but with a loud bang, he threw Feng Du away, and then threw a punch!
"Damn it! What's there to pity about me?! Wasn't my whole family killed by the 'True Self' cult? Damn it, I brought this on myself, I was just being stubborn and misunderstanding things, what's there to pity about?"

"The 'Only the Righteous Cult' killed my entire family! Damn it, I've served the 'Only the Righteous Cult' for ten thousand years! If I don't break them, who will?! I'm such a bastard!"

"I hate heaven, I hate earth, I hate the guardians, I hate people, I hate dogs, I hate those heartless ordinary people, but in the end, the one who's heartless is myself!"

Sun Wutian roared and punched Feng Du in the face.

His aura surged up fiercely.

These words, these emotions—for so many years, Sun Wutian had never revealed them; he had kept them bottled up inside. He was going crazy with pent-up feelings.

But he couldn't tell anyone: Yan Nan? Duan Xiyang? Evil Sword? Succubus?

You absolutely cannot tell!

Is it meaningful to complain like a nagging old woman?

It's even more important not to tell the Guardians.

But this was Sun Wutian's lifelong pain! His lifelong regret, his lifelong remorse, his greatest hatred!

Now, the only comment he's ever made, one that no one else has ever said about him, has sparked the comment: "Pitiful!"
Feng Du was the only person to whom he could unleash these emotions.

So his suppressed emotions immediately erupted.

Yes, if I don't pity you, who will?!

Sun Wutian broke through his defenses instantly and unleashed his full power. His aura grew stronger and stronger, becoming increasingly ferocious. He recklessly and selflessly erupted into a frenzied outburst.

Even its eyeballs turned into complete black holes, and it roared and screamed wildly as it desperately attacked.

Feng Du wanted to retaliate, but when he sensed Sun Wutian's sudden surge of powerful and ever-increasing momentum, his eyes flashed and his mind stirred.

So he used his cultivation to protect his whole body, and did not fight back at all, letting Sun Wutian punch him with such powerful force that it could split mountains and shatter peaks, causing holy light to scatter across his face!
"Having come this far, I don't even know who I'm living for anymore!"

"I don't even know for whom I died!"

"I'm completely lost and confused! I've been lost in the fog, you understand?! Am I pathetic? Am I pathetic? If I'm not pathetic, who is?!"

"We can't advance! We can't retreat! We can't live! We can't die!"

"Shutting yourself up and going into hiding is out of the question!"

"Right and wrong, truth and falsehood, are constantly contradictory in Lao Tzu!"

"You dare to laugh at me!"

You're mocking me!

"I'll teach you to laugh at me!"

Boom boom boom boom...

Sun Wutian unleashed over ten thousand punches on Feng Du's face and body!
He unleashed all his cultivation power!
Keep blasting until you're completely exhausted!
Even though Feng Du's cultivation was higher than Sun Wutian's, he was still beaten so badly that many of his bones were broken, and his face was covered in bruises and swelling, looking like a junk food stall!

But he didn't utter a single word, didn't utter a sound, didn't retaliate, and didn't dodge a single move!
Just as Sun Wutian was completely exhausted, Feng Du suddenly roared, "You beat the sect leader who killed your family to this pulp! Are you satisfied now?!"

A loud roar, like a thunderclap, was like a sudden enlightenment.

"If we don't break through now, when will we?!"

Feng Du instantly grabbed Sun Wutian and left, tearing through space to arrive outside Hechuan City.

It flashed repeatedly in the blink of an eye.

It's completely deserted.

With a loud bang, Sun Wutian was thrown out.

The shout was like a sudden awakening, a powerful and explosive force that penetrated directly into Sun Wutian's mind!

A deafening explosion occurred deep within the soul!

"You've lost everything! What are you afraid of!?"

"Break it for me!!"

"break!!"

Sun Wutian felt his mind was in a daze, as if he were wandering in a chaotic world, unable to see the way in any direction, above or below!
A state of confusion and uncertainty.

Suddenly, a thunderclap exploded in my heart, and my mind went blank.

"Everything's gone! What's there to be afraid of?!"

"Break it for me!!"

"break!!"

As if some shackles had been broken, a golden light suddenly burst forth from the depths of his soul!

Sun Wutian let out a long roar instinctively, soaring into the sky, his body surrounded by black light, and the space around him was mottled and shattered.

The barrier of five thousand years of cultivation collapsed with a roar!

It crumbled into dust.

My mind is completely clear and transparent.

The entire world suddenly appeared brand new in my eyes.

Sun Wutian laughed heartily, his long sword in hand. He cleaved the endless sky with his sword, letting out a roar that seemed to surge from the depths of his soul, a hoarse and desperate cry, as if venting ten thousand years of rage!
"Damn you, God! Who the hell are you playing a trick on?!"

"Is that enough? Are you done yet!?"

The blade's golden light shone brightly, stretching across three thousand miles of sky!

The sword light flashed like a waterfall, carrying a boundless, sea-like fury that shot straight into the sky.

The sky full of white clouds was cut in two by a single stroke!

A fierce wind howled, Sun Wutian's robes fluttered, he stood tall in the sky, his long sword reaching the heavens, its blade piercing the sun, his fighting spirit soaring to the sky.

In front of the greatsword, a long spatial black hole remained, unable to heal for a long time.

Sun Wutian has broken through!
A moment later, Sun Wutian floated down from the sky.

His eyes sparkled with extreme joy. The 'melancholy' he had felt before had vanished without a trace.

Approaching Feng Du, whose face was bruised and swollen, he smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Third Brother!"

Feng Du rubbed his eyes, which felt like they were about to explode: "Are you still going to hit me?"

Sun Wutian laughed and said, "We'll fight if we get the chance."

"Male Gobi!"

Feng Du cursed, "All my hard work has been wasted!"

Sun Wutian laughed heartily: "Third Brother, I will heal your wounds."

"Why would I need your treatment!"

Feng Du cursed in disdain.

He then stood up and walked with Sun Wutian across the wilderness, hands behind their backs.

He said calmly, "What happened back then is all in the past. Although you, Sun Wutian, were not among the sworn brothers back then, Feng Du and Yan Wu have never treated you as an outsider."

"Back then, you challenged me to a sword duel, but you were full of malice. So I didn't want to fight you and handed you over to the eldest brother, hoping he could temper your malice. But the eldest brother was busy, and he punched you three times, leaving you bedridden for eight months... Your malice only got worse."

"But now, you've finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel, and the time has come."

Feng Du said with a wry smile, "But I never expected that in the end I would still get beaten up like this..."

"If Third Brother hadn't stopped fighting back, I really wouldn't have been able to break through."

Sun Wutian chuckled.

“Even if I retaliate, I'll break your pent-up anger.”

Feng Du sighed, "I admit it."

The two of them burst into laughter at the same time.

"What, you've figured it out now? Who are you living for?"

Feng Du asked.

"for……"

A complex emotion flashed in Sun Wutian's eyes as he stared fixedly ahead. Ten thousand years seemed to pass in the blink of an eye; in that fleeting glimpse, a lifetime of scenery and vicissitudes had already unfolded.

He said softly, "Live for yourself."

"What a wonderful idea to live for yourself!"

Feng Du burst into laughter.

After a long silence, he said softly, "Congratulations, brother. From now on, you will be free from the hindrance of life and death, free from the worries of life and death, free from the regrets of life and death, and free from the remorse of life and death."

"Yes!!"

Sun Wutian stood still, his expression solemn, utterly serious and reverent!

"Thank you! Third Brother!"

Feng Du smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go back and play chess! This kid is really tough!"

Sun Wutian followed and flew by: "Hehe, Third Brother, these lads are actually quite good; you should really consider training them."

“They are not followers of our religion.”

Feng Du said calmly.

Sun Wutian raised an eyebrow and said arrogantly, "Yes, they are not followers of my sect. But so what?"

Feng Du paused for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha...you old rascal...not bad!"

He looked proudly at the sky and said calmly, "That's right! ...So what if they're not my followers!"

Back in the courtyard, the two entered silently and stealthily. Then Feng Du was about to come out to play chess.

but……

Touching his face, he couldn't help but glare angrily at Sun Wutian, shouting, "Look what you've done!" He had taken thousands of punches to the face, leaving him bruised and swollen. Although his cultivation was high, his foundation deep, and his holy power strong, all of which were higher than Sun Wutian's, his recovery ability was also faster.

However... Sun Wutian was, after all, a peak expert who had taken half a step before his breakthrough!

How can you recover so easily from thousands of punches?

Although Sun Wutian had taken a lot of beatings earlier, he had fully recovered due to his breakthrough. His face was smooth and without a single injury.

If the two of them walked out together, everyone would definitely think that Sun Wutian had given Feng Du a good beating!
Moreover, Feng Du was completely powerless to fight back.

How could I not be angry about the separatist regime? Do I not care about my image?

Sun Wutian, feeling guilty, chuckled awkwardly, "Playing chess shouldn't be a problem, after all, you're not playing chess with your face..."

"So, I should just be shameless then?"

Feng Du was furious.

Sun Wutian coughed and said, "Although he knows you are a senior in the sect now, he hasn't introduced your specific identity yet, so he doesn't know who you are... Besides, I am the Chief Protector, and I am recognized as awesome. It seems reasonable that I beat you up."

"fart!"

Feng Du's face turned red with anger.

Sun Wutian said helplessly, "Then you don't need to go out yet. I'll go out and organize their training first. You can go out after your injuries have healed."

Feng Du said with dissatisfaction, "We finally have an opponent, and we finally have time to play chess properly, but he's about to compete for the Cloud Weapon Ranking... We only have so much time left, how can we waste it?"

Sun Wutian said, "Then let's cover our faces?"

"You weren't wearing masks just now, but now you're wearing them? What does that make you?" Feng Du was extremely dissatisfied.

With a flick of his wrist, he conjured a mirror. He looked at himself and sighed for a long time. He then tried his best to activate his divine power, and holy light shone brightly, flashing in various colors on his face for a while.

After it was over, there wasn't much improvement.

"You old bastard, you're really ruthless."

Feng Du's face contorted as he looked at the seven or eight dark circles under his eyes that he couldn't get rid of no matter what he did, and he was at his wit's end.

After a moment of stunned silence, he stomped his foot: "A rare opponent, playing chess is important!"

And so, she simply walked out without a care in the world.

Fang Che was immediately shocked.

What did I see?
Feng Du and Sun Wutian went in together, and judging from the looks of it, Feng Du was clearly going to beat Sun Wutian up!
When the results came out, Sun Wutian was unharmed and beaming, while Feng Du was bruised and swollen beyond recognition, with two large, dark purple eye sockets. Fang Che felt that he had been punched at least twenty times there, otherwise it would not have been so evenly distributed.

And even the bridge of his nose was smashed!
Fang Che's eyes widened, speechless with shock. He simply couldn't believe it; Feng Du, the First Vice Grand Master of the Only Righteous Sect, was actually no match for Sun Wutian?
This shouldn't be!
Feng Du saw his shocked expression and immediately understood. His face darkened as he asked, "Do you know who I am?"

Fang Che bowed: "Your subordinate, Night Demon, pays respects to Vice Grand Master Feng!"

Feng Du turned around and kicked Sun Wutian, cursing furiously, "Didn't you say you didn't introduce him!"

Sun Wutian said awkwardly, "It's not good for a child to be too smart... He guessed it himself."

This made things even more awkward.

Feng Du took a deep breath, touched his flat nose, and forced himself to remain calm: "It's been a long time since I've fought, so I just didn't fight back and let Old Sun punch me a few times."

Fang Che hurriedly replied, "I understand. The Vice Grand Master is using his physical body to measure the Ancestral Master's cultivation level. I admire him."

Feng Du took a deep breath, then another, finally suppressing the urge to turn around and beat Sun Wutian senseless, to show that short-sighted brat Night Demon who the boss really is and who can beat whom.

With a dark expression, he said, "Let's play chess."

"Yes. Please go first, sir."

"You first!"

Feng Du was in a bad mood, glaring as if he wanted to eat someone alive, but unfortunately he had a pair of panda eyes, making him look ridiculous no matter how you looked at him.

Not daring to offend, Fang Che apologized, then roused himself and took the black pieces to make the first move.

First, click on the star in the upper left corner.

Feng Du frowned: "Why did you point the star first in both rounds?"

"Because... the golden pen illuminates the heavens."

Fang Che subtly reminded me: I'm going to climb the Cloud Weapon Ranking, so I don't have much time to play chess with you.

Feng Du scoffed, "That's a trap! Only a bunch of young people like you flock to it. To put it bluntly, it's a place for killing. Over the years, countless fools like you have died on this 'Golden Pen Points to the Sky'."

Fang Che smiled wryly: "But even if I'm over a hundred years old, I still can't rush it..."

"Heh... I'm too lazy to explain. Anyway, you have to go for it no matter what."

With a click, Feng Du placed his chess piece on the lower right star position.

The symmetrical arrangement resembles two peerless swordsmen, each occupying a corner, their sword auras chilling, facing off from afar.

Fang Che pointed to the lower left corner, at the third position, and sealed the upper right corner star position.

Fang Che moves a large piece diagonally from the top left corner, aiming to seize control of the left side of the board. Feng Du moves a piece into the upper left corner, breaking the game.

Fang Che's move is aimed at securing the lower left corner. Feng Du's move encircles Fang Che's black pieces, trapping them in the middle. Fang Che extends his influence outwards, while Feng Du makes a large, sweeping move into the upper left corner, attempting to hollow it out. Fang Che then seals off the position with a single piece, aiming for a checkmate.

The two sides exchanged more than a dozen moves on the left side in the blink of an eye, each gaining something and pocketing a corner of the territory. Fang Che got some solid ground, while Feng Du got some external ground.

But Fang Chetuo first attacked the right side, using almost the same tactics that Feng Du had used against him, maneuvering and creating an opening on the right.

They dug out a corner, and then each side placed a piece at the bottom, facing off.

This marks the beginning of the middle game.

From this moment on, both sides have basically completed their troop deployments and have begun to vie for control of the Central Plains.

Feng Du sighed softly.

He could sense that his chess skills were actually stronger than the Night Demon's, but not by much.

However, the opponent is resourceful, calm, and methodical, never letting their guard down in any aspect. On the contrary, I have been constantly restless and agitated today.

In this round, they were surprisingly at a disadvantage once again.

Because of the previous struggle on the left, Fang Che has formed a strong outer position with five stones connected, and it extends outwards.

After both sides exchanged their troop deployments, the strong position on this side posed a huge threat to Feng Du.

Especially now that neither side has fully matured, one side has strong support, just like one side has ample logistical supplies in battle, while the other side has adaptable cavalry.

Although the cavalry were swift and free to move and had great fighting power, they could not compare with the rested and impregnable defenses of this side. After a while, they had to retreat to resupply.

However, relying on its strong position, this side can gradually encroach upon the territory.

On the chessboard, every step forward, even a small one, poses a threat to the goal of sealing off the enemy!

The chessboard has always been a place where life and death are fought on a small piece of land.

So when Feng Du saw this, he knew he had lost again.

Moreover, in such a chaotic situation, once the opponent gains a strong advantage, it is very difficult to turn the tide.

Feng Du tried his best to control his agitation caused by Sun Wuqi's temper and dealt with the situation with all his might. But in the later stages, he finally let out a long sigh.

In the later stages of a game, considering the skill levels of both sides, the outcome is usually quite obvious.

Because at this point, neither side can afford to make any more mistakes.

"We've lost by one point!"

Feng Du sighed.

Lost again!
Although he was angered by Sun Wutian, and even helped Sun Wutian break through in the process, he did a great thing.

But... a loss is a loss.

"Your subordinate is terrified."

"You've won, so what are you afraid of?"

Feng Du glared at Sun Wutian, who was secretly laughing to himself.

It's all that old bastard's fault.

Sun Wutian said with a sanctimonious air, "Boy, you don't know something. Vice Chief Master Feng has always claimed to be the best in the world. Therefore, he has a rule that whoever beats him in chess can have one condition granted to them."

"You've won two games now, so you have two conditions you can make."

Sun Wutian said with a smile, "I'm warning you, you'd better think it over before you bring it up!"

Feng Du retorted angrily, "I have no intention of defaulting on my debt. Do you need to tell me that?"

Sun Wutian flattered, "I was just afraid you'd forget. Besides, Third Brother, as the First Deputy Chief Leader, wouldn't it be impressive to have a mouthpiece by your side?"

"Ha ha……"

Feng Du said, "You're just reminding me on purpose because you're afraid your grand-disciple won't find anything good!"

He then turned to Fang Che and said, "Your ancestor is right, I do have this rule. You may not know about it, but it exists too, so you can now make two requests. Go ahead and make them! In this world, whatever you want, it's no problem!"

At the same time, I silently reminded myself: I must be alert tomorrow.

I must concentrate fully and never underestimate my opponent; I must thoroughly defeat this kid in a few rounds.

Fang Che said rather embarrassedly, "I want the peak cultivation method of the Heavenly Blade Saint Monarch."

Feng Du: "..."

My eyes widened instantly. You're really not going to be polite. You're trying to bankrupt me with just one sentence?

"it is good!"

Feng Du wanted to touch his nose to express his feelings, but only after touching it did he realize that his nose had collapsed.

"The second condition..."

Fang Che asked nervously, "With the Cloud Rankings up for grabs, could Vice Chief Master Feng... perhaps offer some guidance and mentorship... to us?"

He paused deliberately.

"That's even more no problem!"

Feng Du readily agreed, then snorted, "You're quite selfish, kid. You want to eat it all by yourself?"

"After all, they're not members of our sect..."

Fang Che chuckled: "However, if I were to hone my skills on my own, it would be detrimental to future unity. Therefore, I am changing my mind at the last minute. Please forgive me, Vice Chief Cult Leader Feng."

"You're so petty!"

Feng Du said domineeringly, "What's wrong with polishing them together? Are you worried that you won't be able to control them in the future?!"

"That won't happen."

"That's it."

Feng Du gazed at the white clouds in the sky and said calmly, "You may find in the future that... in this world, what is the so-called righteous sect, what are the guardians... are nothing more than the love and hatred of a generation."

Fang Che blinked in confusion.

Feng Du smiled and said, "You'll understand later."

That evening, Feng Du took over as head coach.

With her face covered and dark circles under her eyes, she quickly began to tidy up.

"I will stand here without moving. Each of you should use your most powerful moves to attack me. I will judge the results. It will not depend on the strength of your cultivation level, but only on the effectiveness of your moves."

Feng Du stood with his hands behind his back: "Anything that satisfies me, I will teach you a move, a move tailor-made for you! It will allow you to instantly boost your peak combat power three times when you are fighting desperately!"

There is no punishment for dissatisfaction, only no reward.

The training method for sealing the odds is very simple.

But it was extremely effective.

I'll just stand here and let you hit me, let's see your maximum attack power!

You don't have to accept the reward; it doesn't matter, and I won't force you.

But everyone understands that if such a peerless master says he wants to tailor a move to triple the power for you, then he absolutely can do it!
What does such a move mean? It's equivalent to having countless lives!

It's even more effective than any rare and precious natural treasure.

After all, the higher one's cultivation level, the greater the power of this move becomes!
It can be said to be the capital upon which one relies for survival, livelihood, fame, and success!

Everyone immediately perked up.

But when Mo Ganyun pulled out a huge stick weighing 5,400 jin and slammed it on the ground, causing the earth to shake, Feng Du's lips twitched involuntarily: He had been careless!
Looking up at Mo Ganyun's towering figure before him, Feng Du felt his mind go blank for a moment.

Holy crap! I was careless again!
