Ten middle-aged men stood in the sky above the small town, stepping on the void as if they were walking on flat ground. They all looked intoxicated as they looked down at the silent town below.
They liked to kill. In the eyes of others, killing was a sin, but in their eyes, killing was mercy.
Humans were the most troubled species in the world, and living in the world was the most painful. It was a kind of mercy to let them leave the world as soon as possible.
Although the method of sending them away was a little violent, it did not hinder their intentions. The earlier they died, the earlier they could be free. Killing to free all living beings was more merciful than Buddhism.
If everyone could become an Asura without worries, that would be the real merit.
They knew a trick. After ten lives, they could be reincarnated as an Asura. Once they became an Asura, they would not have many troubles like humans, and they would not have so many desires, only the desire to kill.
And this desire could not be satisfied, and there was no need to restrain it. There were many people in the world who could be killed.
"Let's go!" one of them said in a low voice.
The other nine people nodded, and they turned into ten shadows that swept past. After a while, they came to another small town, and then the small town went from noisy to quiet, and finally became dead silent.
The smell of blood assailed their nostrils, but they stood in the sky above the small town with intoxicated expressions and admired it for a while. Then, they rushed to the next town and continued their killing. They wanted to send more people into reincarnation as soon as possible.
A thousand miles away from them, another ten red lights fell from the sky and turned into ten middle-aged men. They were thin and gloomy, but they were still Asura. They rushed to the surrounding towns.
A thousand miles away, another ten red lights fell from the sky and turned into ten Asura, also rushing to the surrounding towns.

Tang Hui was reading memorials in the main hall. An old man with a white beard and eyebrows stood at the door of the hall, slightly bowed and motionless. He was his personal guard, Luo Feng, the commander of the palace guards.
Tang Hui suddenly frowned, put down the memorials, and picked up a few others. After comparing them, his face became gloomy.
Luo Feng knew at a glance that the situation was not good. The ministers were trying to fool His Majesty again, and His Majesty had seen through them.
His Majesty was talented and extremely smart! He was definitely not an incompetent person like everyone thought he was. However, he did not say a word to these officials and allowed them to do whatever they wanted. As a result, these officials became more and more arrogant.
Luo Feng shook his head helplessly. These fellows were really looking for death. No matter how young His Majesty was, he was still His Majesty. He was also an Emperor who could kill ten thousand people with a single word. These ministers thought highly of themselves. The Emperor had just ascended the throne and had a weak foundation. It was really ridiculous to think that he could not do anything to them.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!" Tang Hui gritted his teeth and threw out all the memorials.
More than a dozen memorials landed on the window of the main hall and scattered on the ground.
Tang Hui had restrained his Enlightened Master's aura in the Forbidden Palace. Without using his Enlightened Master's power, he looked like a weak young master who didn't know martial arts. However, these memorials fell hard and almost shattered. Luo Feng's eyebrows twitched as he watched.
He bent down and carefully picked up the letters one by one. He smoothed them out gently and secretly rejoiced that even at this time, His Majesty could restrain himself from using too much force and did not break the memorials.
It was too much to break the memorials of the ministers. The ministers were loyal to the Emperor and the Emperor should also respect the ministers. This was a conventional rule. The ministers were not the servants of the Emperor and would not be unconditionally loyal.
"Your Majesty, it's not worth arguing with them." Luo Feng said softly, "After a while, they will know what kind of person Your Majesty is and will naturally behave."
"I really don't want to kill people, but these fellows are getting more and more presumptuous step by step!" Tang Hui shook his head and said, "Everyone thinks that they are Chu Li!"
Luo Feng sighed in his heart.
The new Emperor's means could be said to be powerful. It was his connivance that allowed these ministers to step forward step by step, so that they were getting closer and closer to the disaster of death. When they really stepped on the bottom line, the Emperor raised the butcher's knife and killed a lot of them. This not only established his prestige, but also made the ministers speechless.
Tang Hui said lightly, "If they were as smart as you, Luo Feng, I would not have to worry."
Luo Feng was shocked and hurriedly said, "This old minister is ashamed!"
"The only one who knows my heart is you, Luo Feng!" Tang Hui waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you."
Luo Feng was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
The Emperor's heart was unpredictable, and the last thing he wanted was to let his ministers see through his mind. He had committed a big taboo.
Tang Hui said in a deep voice, "How do you think I should deal with these guys?"
"Everything is up to Your Majesty's holy judgment." Luo Feng hurriedly said.
Tang Hui shook his head and smiled, "You …, you are too cautious."
Luo Feng did not dare to be careless. As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, or even more terrible than accompanying a tiger. If he was not careful, he would lose his little life. Although he was a Grandmaster, in front of His Majesty, he had no power to resist.
Just at this moment, light footsteps came from outside.
Luo Feng heard the sound and left the main hall.
A moment later, he came in again and whispered, "Your Majesty, Pavilion Master Jian is outside."
"Invite him in." Tang Hui said.
Luo Feng respectfully responded with a "yes" and quietly went out.
A moment later, a tall and burly old man strode in with a sullen face and bowed, "Your Majesty!"
"What's the matter, Jian Qing?" Tang Hui asked.
Jian Da was the Pavilion Master of the Fu Dynasty's Dark Light Pavilion. He was responsible for the collection and analysis of the world's news and reported important news directly to the Emperor. He was the Emperor's eyes and ears and would not allow officials at all levels to hide important information from him.
"Your Majesty." Jian Da said in a deep voice, "There are a total of twenty small cities in the Fu Dynasty and four large cities have been destroyed."
"Hmm —?" Tang Hui originally wanted to leave the dragon throne with his hands behind his back, but when he heard this, he suddenly paused and leaned forward, "Destroyed?"
"Yes." Jian Da said in a deep voice, "All the men, women, children, and even all kinds of living things in the city were killed. No one survived."
"Who did it?" Tang Hui's face darkened.
Such an inhumane massacre was definitely not the work of ordinary people. It was probably the army.
Jian Da said, "According to the observation of my subordinates, it doesn't seem like the army did it."
"If it's not the army, then it's a martial arts master?" Tang Hui frowned.
Jian Da shook his head, "It doesn't seem like a martial arts master because everyone died the same way. Unless it was a master, no matter how powerful a master is, it is impossible to destroy so many cities in two days."
"Chu Li can do it!" Tang Hui said coldly.
Jian Da said, "As far as I know, Chu Li wouldn't do such a thing. Moreover, these people don't seem to be killed by Enlightened Masters. Aren't Enlightened Masters not allowed to kill ordinary people?"
"He's different." Tang Hui shook his head.
Other Enlightened Masters were bound by the heavenly rule, but he could break free from it.
"Then who did it? Can't you find out?" Tang Hui asked in a deep voice.
Jian Da shook his head, "I think it's better for Your Majesty to go and see for yourself. No matter how fast I am, I can't rush there in a short period of time."
"… Hmm, that's fine too," Tang Hui said.
This was not the death of one or two hundred people, but twenty-four cities. Even though the Fu Dynasty had a vast territory and a large population with countless cities and small cities, they could not ignore such losses.
"Your Majesty, let's go now," Jian Da said.
Tang Hui turned to look at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng stepped forward, "I'll go with you."
"Very well," Tang Hui said.
Not only was Luo Feng smart, but he also understood Tang Hui's thoughts. More importantly, he was knowledgeable and could help Tang Hui with many things.
