Qin Hu and Lu Siya crashed into the protruding crystals. They coughed up blood and fell to the ground, unable to get up.
Lin Chuan walked to the explosive tools and was about to grab them.
However, the two chains appeared and disappeared mysteriously, sweeping away the explosive tools one step ahead of time.
He narrowed his eyes, and when he turned his head around, he saw Meng Chao, who was bleeding profusely. He staggered to his feet and tossed the explosive tools to the side. He crossed his chain sabers and assumed a fighting stance again.
"Why didn't you leave? Why did you have to stop me? Why couldn't you just lie there quietly and pretend to be dead? Why didn't you wait for me to set the time for the explosion to come and save you? "
Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes and left bloody footprints in the air. He approached Meng Chao and gritted his teeth. "We're … the same kind!"
"Why didn't you say that in the beginning?"
Meng Chao spat out a mouthful of blood and smiled brokenly. "If you really believed that I was the same kind of person and your ideals were absolutely correct and that you were thinking about the future of the millions of normal citizens in Dragon City, why didn't you dare to tell me your entire plan and insist on inviting me to join your group?
"Were you not confident in me, or were you not confident in yourself?
"You knew that our experiences growing up were very similar and that many of our thoughts were the same. Besides, I've always treated you as my idol and trusted you a lot. Why didn't you dare to tell me everything? Why didn't you believe that I would join your group?
"Oh, after we went underground, your mind was in chaos because of the interference from the crystal mine's spirit energy magnetic field, and you nearly said it out loud.
"But after you said some specious theories, you stopped at the last moment and even prepared a bag for me so that I could escape. Why?
"Brother Lin, do you really not want to drag me, your little brother, down with you? Or is it because deep down in your heart, you know very well that you've embarked on a path of inhumane darkness, and by letting me go, you're letting go of your last trace of humanity?"
Lin Chuan's eyelids twitched. He stopped moving in the air and stared at Meng Chao with his Undying Bird, but it could not stab him.
"Do you know the source of your pain, Big Brother Lin?"
Meng Chao grinned. "Because you know very well that you're wrong. Regardless of whether your motives are wrong or not, your methods are, at the very least, wrong! If you knew you were wrong but couldn't change it, how could you not feel conflicted, hesitant, and painful?
"And having the White Spirit use mind control to help you get rid of your pain is the same as taking painkillers when you're in pain. It's just treating the symptoms, not the root of the problem. No matter how big the painkillers are, if you don't get rid of the problem, you won't be able to truly get rid of the pain!"
"I'm not wrong!"
The bloody light in Lin Chuan's eyes shone brightly, as if he had built a sturdy mental wall. His chain spear finally went to stab Meng Chao. "I'm fighting for the millions of normal Dragon Citizens. You don't know just how corrupted those high and mighty people have become. If Dragon City is ruled by them, it'll definitely be destroyed!"
"I'm also willing to fight for the millions of normal Dragon Citizens, my comrades, and my home, but I won't use your method!"
Meng Chao crossed his chain sabers and blocked the chain spear. His vitality magnetic field was shaken by the Undying Bird, and the wounds on his body tore open again. But he still endured the pain and shouted, "We can use an even more honorable method! We can spread our ideals in an upright manner and ask for more people's help to keep the mega corporations and peerless fighters in check!
"We can use the internet to get more supporters to unite around us!
"We can also gain achievements in the war and build our own forces of power. We can climb to the top of the Survival Committee and even the peak of the Supernatural Tower.
"If you're displeased with the actions of certain peerless fighters, you can mention it publicly so that all the citizens can discuss it. Even if they're Deity Realm superhumans, it's impossible for them to seal millions of mouths.
"If you're displeased with how some mega corporations can do whatever they want, we can also bring up a bill to divide and limit them.
"If you don't want to see the poor lose at the starting line, we can start from Blessed Happiness Street Elementary School. We can continuously renovate, rebuild, and upgrade the elementary schools one by one. I believe that we will receive countless people's support, and we won't fight alone!
"In any case, we have countless ways to create a new world that is brighter, more just, and more equal. Why did you have to choose the most despicable, bloody, and evil method?!"
Boom!
The two chain sabers and the chain spear intersected with each other. Two waves of spirit flames stirred up a shockwave that could topple mountains. Meng Chao first crashed into the spear, and his head bled. Then, he was thrown to the ground by the Undying Bird and suppressed.
"Because the other methods are useless!"
Lin Chuan roared above his head. "Over the past thousands of years, it's always been like this from Earth to the Other World. The people who stand at the top use all sorts of methods to gather wealth, authority, and strength. They turn themselves into chiefs, knights, kings, emperors, Deity Realm superhumans, and Crystalline Nine-headed Dragons.
"They set up all sorts of rules and created all sorts of lies to make the weak view each other as enemies and even kill each other. They used ridiculous wars to become the reason why they stood above the rules and occupied all the resources!
"It's not as if the weak didn't use the methods you mentioned to fight back, but did it work? Over the past thousands of years, we've tried again and again, but all we did was crash into an iron wall and bleed! "
He pushed down with his right hand.
The ground around Meng Chao was pushed down by an invisible force, and it sank by half an inch.
Meng Chao grunted and coughed up a mouthful of thick blood again.
But he withstood Lin Chuan's pressure and crawled up inch by inch.
"Even if we haven't crashed into this iron wall over the past thousands of years, how do you know that we'll definitely fail this time?"
Meng Chao asked with great difficulty. "The world is changing, and civilization is improving. Everyone is evolving at lightning speed. The world today is different from one thousand years ago, and the humans today are no longer the humans of one thousand years ago!
"We're becoming smarter and stronger, and we're paying more attention to protecting everyone's interests. The concept of everyone being equal has never been as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. When we fought against monsters together, from three-year-old children to seventy-year-old women, everyone believed that they were the vanguards from Earth and that they were defending our home and civilization together!
"Big Brother Lin, do you really think that after half a century of fighting for survival, the normal Dragon Citizens will be able to endure the peerless fighters and mega corporations doing whatever they want and live ignorant lives without thinking about the past or the future? In your heart, are the normal people aside from you so ignorant that they can be trampled on?
"Perhaps the iron wall you think is indestructible is already full of cracks after thousands of years of crashing into it like an egg crashing into a rock. As long as you crash into it again, even if you end up bleeding, you'll definitely be able to create a hole!"
Meng Chao roared and straightened his back.
The bones all over his body were brutally ravaged by the Undying Bird and emitted crackling sounds, causing him to grimace in pain.
But since he stood up straight, he did not intend to lie down again!
"No, that's impossible."
Even though he was a Heaven Realm superhuman, Lin Chuan trembled in the face of a mere one-star superhuman. He mumbled, "It's impossible for us to break this iron wall …"
"Lu Siya's right. Big Brother Lin, you really have low self-esteem and are conceited!"
Meng Chao wiped off the blood at the corners of his lips and smiled. "You have low self-esteem, and you're terrified by the Crystalline Nine-headed Dragon. You believe that you're just a puny Demonic Halberd Pig and that it's impossible for you to win against the Crystalline Nine-headed Dragon in an upright manner.
"But you're also conceited. You think that you're the smartest and strongest Demonic Halberd Pig. You think that the other Demonic Halberd Pigs are too stupid and weak to fight with you. You think that they don't have the right to fight with you and let out the loudest roars at the Crystalline Nine-headed Dragon. They just need to wait for you to use the most despicable and shameless methods to save them.
"You're wrong, Big Brother Lin. You're very wrong.
"If you don't believe in and wake up all the Demonic Halberd Pigs, it's impossible for you to truly win against the Crystalline Nine-headed Dragon. Even if you kill one Crystalline Nine-headed Dragon, you'll just turn into an even more evil Crystalline Nine-headed Dragon. In the end, you won't be able to save Dragon City. You won't be able to save the common home of millions of Dragon Citizens. This great and beautiful city that we love will be destroyed in the flames of the apocalypse.
"Wake up, Big Brother Lin. It's not too late to turn back now. Don't continue making mistakes!"
"Enough! Shut up! I'm not wrong!"
Lin Chuan cradled his head, and blood trickled out of the gaps between his fingers. It was as if there were two armies fighting fiercely in his mind. "Enough! Shut up!"
"If you're really not wrong, why don't you dare face all the people you want to save in an upright manner?"
Meng Chao sucked in a deep breath and shouted at the top of his lungs. "You blew up the Red Radiance Jade mine and created a large spirit energy tsunami. Not only did the Deity Realm superhumans and Apocalyptic Beasts die, countless middle-grade and low-grade superhumans, broken-star superhumans, and even the normal soldiers of the Red Dragon Army died. Are they all Crystalline Nine-headed Dragons? "At that time, would you dare to say that you're not wrong in front of thousands of innocent souls who died tragically?
"Once the northern offense fails, Dragon City will definitely suffer a major blow, and we'll have to fight against the monsters for years. Many people will die, and even more people's living conditions will become even worse. The equality and light you want will be even further away from you. At that time, would you dare to say that you're not wrong to the normal citizens who will be affected?
"You said that once the mission ends, you'll come with me to the elementary school to visit our homeroom teacher and eat the lizard meat Grandpa Wang fried. But now, even if you get your wish and blow up the Red Radiance Jade mine, kill countless people, and become an invincible fighter, when you meet our homeroom teacher and Grandpa Wang, would you dare to tell them everything and proudly say that you're not wrong?
"Also, there are plenty of children in Blessed Heavenly Garden and Joyous Heavenly Garden who treat you as their hero and idol. They grew up listening to your stories and worked tirelessly with you as their goal. Tell me, Big Brother Lin, look into my eyes and tell me, would you dare to say that you're not wrong to them? Would you?"
