"This …"
When Lin Fan and the others passed a village, they noticed that it was in ruins. There were corpses all around and many women who weren't dressed properly. It was obvious that they were tortured when they were alive.
"Cousin, could it be that they encountered bandits?" Zhou Zhongmao frowned.
Although he liked to kill his enemies, he normally wouldn't attack normal people. That was Zhou Zhongmao's bottom line.
Feng Poliu couldn't bear to look at that, "Okay, the world is just like that. Every moment, tragic things happen. We are just passersby, don't bother too much."
"Why are you so cold?" Lin Fan looked at Feng Poliu, "In the past, I noticed that you were timid, but now that you faced such a thing, you can say it so easily. Do you have any compassion at all?"
Feng Poliu said, "You make it sound like you have compassion. When you kill, you are more vicious than anyone else. That division was wiped out just like that, you didn't show any mercy at all."
"Nonsense, how can that be the same? I know the difference between bad people and normal people. "Lin Fan retorted. Today, Feng Poliu was going to fight him head-on.
Feng Poliu seemed to recall something, his tone became a little depressed, "What good or bad, it is just my own definition. To me, there are no good or bad people in this world. Everything is centered around me, we just want to live."
"Why? You can say what you have in your heart, maybe I can help you analyze it. "Lin Fan looked at Feng Poliu's expression and knew that he had a story. He wanted to hear it.
"I …"
Suddenly.
In the quiet village, only the sound of wood creaking from the intense flames could be heard. But just now, they heard light coughing.
"There is someone." Lin Fan said.
Feng Poliu was wary. A grey internal strength spread out. Bug Controlling Technique controlled the bugs and sensed the movement in the ruins.
"There." Feng Poliu pointed at the collapsed ruins and said.
Zhou Zhongmao walked forwards, ignoring the burning wood. He grabbed and flipped it open.
Many pieces of wood were flipped open and a path was cleared out.
Very quickly, the scenes in front of them shocked Lin Fan and Feng Poliu.
Two corpses were lying on the ground. These two corpses had been burnt black. Their faces could be vaguely seen, but they were also burnt beyond recognition.
Zhou Zhongmao pushed the two corpses aside and saw a wooden plank on the ground. The coughing came from under the plank.
Just as his cousin lifted the wooden board, a sharp dagger suddenly appeared in the dark space and attacked him.
It was very slow.
To a true expert, the speed of the stab was no different from a snail crawling.
Zhou Zhongmao did not retaliate. Instead, he took a few steps back and said, "Come out."
Lin Fan and Feng Poliu exchanged glances with one another. It was obvious that they didn't expect that someone was still alive.
Soon, from the dark cellar, a pair of tender hands covered in black ash reached out.
"Child …"
Lin Fan didn't expect it to be a child.
She was a young girl, probably eight or nine years old.
His hair was long, but it was curled at the ends, obviously burnt.
The exposed skin was red, as if it had been burned. The skin was broken, and there were many blisters.
Her face was covered in black ash, and her eyes were filled with terror.
"She is lucky to be able to live." Feng Poliu said.
Lin Fan said, "Kid, what happened here? Who did this? "
The little girl didn't say anything, she just looked at Lin Fan and the others.
Suddenly.
When the little girl saw the two blackened corpses, tears flowed down from the corner of her eyes.
Feng Poliu said, "Let's go, it is enough that we saved her. What happens next depends on her. Whether she lives or dies depends on whether or not the heavens give her food. We have caused so much trouble, who knows when we will face an enemy we can't defeat?"
Feng Poliu pulled the reins and wanted to leave, but he noticed that Lin Fan didn't move at all. He was staring at the little girl.
He admitted that the little girl was pitiful.
But there were many pitiful people in the world, and there was no way to pity all of them.
"Young Master Lin, I never thought that you would have a saint's heart." Feng Poliu said.
Lin Fan said, "Is that so? I don't feel it, I just feel like there are some things that I need to do. If you say that I am kind, then I admit that I am a kind person, am I right? "
Feng Poliu was speechless and didn't know how to reply to that question.
If you were kind, then there would be no bad people in the world.
"Little brat, do you want to leave with me?" Lin Fan looked at her and waited for her choice.
The little girl looked at Lin Fan. She then looked at the once beautiful village that had been reduced to such ruins. Who knew how much damage this little girl's heart had suffered?
She nodded.
"Okay, get on his horse, I will bring you away from here." Lin Fan said. He pulled the reins and walked forwards slowly.
"Oi, why do you have to get on my horse?" Feng Poliu shouted. What was going on? You wanted to bring her away, and now you want to place her on my horse? That wasn't a joke.
Lin Fan said, "I will give you a chance to be kind. Since you say that I am a saint, then I will give you a chance to perform."
Feng Poliu smiled bitterly and then pulled the little brat up, "Sit properly, don't fall off."
When Feng Poliu's palm landed on the little brat's shoulder, the pain on her body actually lessened. It felt really cool and not as painful as before.
Feng Poliu's eyelids were filled with helplessness.
This made him think back to the time in Insect Valley. They were all adopted by Master, and each of their experiences were really tragic.
Just him, Feng Poliu, he had never seen what his parents looked like in his life.
"Ride!" Feng Poliu pulled the reins.
Lin Fan smiled. The cultivation techniques that he and Cousin cultivated were used to kill people. They didn't learn healing techniques. But that might not be the case for Feng Poliu. As an Insect Valley expert, how could he not have learned it?
The little girl grabbed Feng Poliu's arm and looked behind. That was her village. Her mother and grandmother were left there, and there were many friends.
After a long while.
A small army appeared in front of them. There were a few hundred of them.
Their footsteps were messy. They carried spears and many things in their hands. There were chickens, ducks, and some pigs tied to spears. Two people placed them on their shoulders and happily walked.
When the little girl saw these people, she grabbed her burned arm. Even if it was painful, she bore with it. Tears rolled in her eyes and fresh blood flowed down her arm.
Feng Poliu felt the small body tremble and understood what was going on.
These were King Wutong's troops.
Lin Fan rode his horse past the army.
When the soldiers saw these people, they were all stunned. It was obvious that they didn't expect that someone would dare to pass them so calmly.
Lin Fan squinted his eyes. When he passed by the leading army, he suddenly stopped, turned around and asked with a smile, "Let me ask you guys something. Did you guys destroy the villages at the back?"
The leader of this army was an Earl, an official who could lead 100 people. He held a roasted chicken in his hand and his mouth was covered in grease. He walked towards Lin Fan viciously, "We are the army under King Wutong. Who are you? We wiped out the village, so what?"
"Nothing, I like people who speak the truth. Then, can you die for me?"
Shua!
A streak of light flashed across.
Lin Fan pulled out his blade and then sheathed it. He was really quick. This blade couldn't be caught by the naked eye.
Puchi!
A head slowly separated. Blood shot into the sky and dyed the ground red.
Their eyes opened wide.
All the soldiers were stunned.
To them, it was like they had seen a ghost.
Earl was killed.
They didn't dare to believe that the Earl who was perfectly fine actually died just like that.
Rage Points + 66
Rage Points + 77
Rage Points + 66
….
When the little girl saw those scenes, her eyes opened wide like she didn't expect it.
Uproar!
The soldiers all reacted.
"Earl was killed."
"He killed Earl. Capture him, don't let him run."
"Damn, you actually dare to attack us. We are King Wutong's soldiers, do you want to die?"
Lin Fan didn't care about the soldiers' shouts at all.
From his point of view, these were like mosquitoes buzzing in his ears. So annoying, really annoying.
"Cousin, take them down and tie them to the trees. Don't kill them." Lin Fan said.
"Yes, cousin." Zhou Zhongmao replied. He got off the horse and looked at the struggling ants. He gave out a cold smile.
"I have to show mercy to deal with all of you. How problematic."
Peng!
The moment he said that.
Zhou Zhongmao charged into the crowd.
To normal commoners, this army of 100 couldn't be blocked. But to true experts, it was far from enough.
To them, Zhou Zhongmao was like a berserk beast. They couldn't block him at all, they didn't even have a chance to fight back.
They cried out.
They screamed.
Even if Zhou Zhongmao showed mercy, it was really problematic to control his strength. Occasionally, one or two soldiers would explode.
The scene immediately shocked the soldiers.
Too terrifying.
It was just too terrifying.
Not long later.
The cries stopped. The soldiers were all tied to the trees.
There were a lot of trees here, and each person was tied to a tree. It was quite a shocking sight to see.
Lin Fan stood there and said, "Look at my face, don't die without knowing who did it."
Rage Points + 66
Rage Points + 66
….
Although the number of rage points was small, luckily there were enough of them.
"Let us go."
"We are King Wutong's soldiers, let us go."
They hollered. Even if their faces were swollen, at that moment, they felt the scent of death covering them.
