Jiang Liechen sneered and said, "You're too naive. Since I've said it, I'll definitely do it. Even if you turn around and leave now, I'll wash the An Family Village with blood in less than an hour. By the time the sky brightens, this place will only be a piece of white land. I said that I want people to die at midnight, so I won't let them live until dawn. In my heart, it doesn't matter whether or not I commit the sin of killing. Even that wicked heaven can't touch me, so why should I be afraid of retribution? But I'm looking at the whole world now. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't care about this small manor. They died because of you anyway, so what's the difference if you didn't kill them yourself? You'll have to bear the debt of these dozens of lives. "
The Xuan Shuang had already turned around and walked a few steps, but when he heard this, he stopped and said, "You're trying to say that no … no matter what, at this moment, they're already dead, right?" Cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He clenched his fists, his veins bulging.
Jiang Liechen said leisurely, "There's another way. Unless you kill me right now, they won't have to die. But with your skills, can you do it? " The Xuan Shuang clenched his teeth and suddenly punched a tree. Blood slid down the bark and seeped into the soil with his tears. He said in a low voice, "You know it's impossible, but you still want to make fun of me. I can be your cow or horse. As long as you don't ask me to kill people, I … I'm willing to do it. "
Jiang Liechen said, "I want cows and horses. In the future, all the people in the world will be under my command. Do you think I'm afraid there won't be enough?" He took a step forward and stood behind the Xuan Shuang. His voice was still like a demon's voice as he whispered, "Regret it. You deserve to regret your incompetence. These people didn't have to die. You dug up their graves. Now that you don't have the ability to kill me, you can only watch them fall into the abyss … It's all because of you. "
Xuan Shuang covered his ears with his hands and begged incoherently, "Don't say anymore … Don't force me …"
Jiang Liechen said, "No matter what decision you make, I won't force you because you are my disciple. But first, I have to tell you the consequences so that you won't regret it in the future. If you don't kill them now, it means that you are still in the same place. If you can't kill me today, it will be the same in the future. But if you don't kill me, I won't show mercy to the world. When the time comes, I will kill even more people. Those innocent lives were all taken because of you. When the people you want to protect disappear from the world, you will understand how pathetic and laughable your so-called kindness is. I won't kill you. I'll keep you alive so that you can see with your own eyes what kind of hell the human world will become. So that you can personally witness how great the achievements of a sinner like you are. The resentment of all those who died because of this would not dissipate, and their vengeful spirits would still linger in this world. They would all come to question you. They had no enmity with you, and they did not know you. Why did you bring about their destruction? Now you still have the qualifications to redeem all of this. Are you going to let it go so easily? "As he said this, he leaned against another tree trunk and said," It's time. Where you go from here is entirely up to you to decide. "
Hearing this, Xuan Shuang felt as if his head had been struck by a hammer. His cries for mercy gradually stopped. He slowly stood up. Restraining his trembling body, he walked in front of Jiang Liechen and said, "If I don't want to see that day, I only have to kill the people of An Jia Village."
Jiang Liechen said, "Of course not. Today you destroyed An Jia Village. In the future, you will have to continue killing, kill even more people, and listen to the wails of countless vengeful spirits under your sword. Until your martial arts are strong enough to kill me. But after committing so many sins, when you go to hell after death, perhaps your soul will turn into ashes. But your descendants will be able to live peacefully from now on. I know that Buddhists sacrifice the individual for the benefit of the people. If you don't want to abandon yourself, then it's enough to prove that your current kindness is fake. It's nothing more than a pretense of kindness. "
Xuan Shuang couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh. He laughed until tears and snot flowed down his face. He said, "Very good, very good. Now that I know the outcome, what am I afraid of? I fell into that situation because of you. Since that's the case, shouldn't I take revenge first? In any case, I have to fight until both jade and common stone are destroyed! Hey, don't stay out of this. Come with me. "Seeing Jiang Liechen's disdainful expression, he added," Don't misunderstand. I don't expect you to help me. I just want you to see how cold-blooded a disciple you've trained can be. You should also carefully observe my moves and give me a few pointers so that I can correct them. "
Jiang Liechen said, "That's reasonable. Then let's go. " He glanced at Jiang Liechen's still bleeding fist and said indifferently, "First of all, your sword can only be pointed at outsiders. Hurting yourself to vent your anger is the stupidest thing to do. No one will pity you because of this. "Xuan Shuang sneered." What do you think? This punch is just to wake up the ignorant me of the past. "
At this time, the sky was clear and quiet. A few white clouds could be faintly seen overhead. Ink dyed the sky, deep blue and serene. A bright moon hung above the branches, and it still emanated a gentle and clear radiance into the world. However, no one knew what sort of extremely tragic slaughter was occurring at a certain villa in the Mortal Dimension at this moment. Dozens of once lively lives were lost in the blink of an eye. The mournful wails of the wronged souls couldn't break the silence of the night. They were filled with endless bitterness and hatred.
Several hours later, a bright red light was faintly reflected in the dark night sky. It seemed to inject a touch of vitality into the quiet night. Who would have known that the red light was actually a raging inferno under the ground, burning up the manor and the fields, burning up all justice and justice? The Upper Realm didn't intend to intervene, and the Underworld had nowhere to return. The sky didn't speak, and the earth didn't speak. The bright moon was still like a jade plate, shining on the devastated land. It was as if everything just now had never happened.
Two figures walked out of the fire. One of them was covered in blood and held a bloody dagger in his hand. He couldn't stop trembling. Jiang Liechen walked far away and looked back at the fire that soared into the sky. He said to himself, "This situation is like that day …" When he came to his senses, he immediately stopped talking. He cursed secretly. He didn't know what was wrong with him today. Why did he keep thinking about the destruction of Shadowless Manor seven years ago?
Along the way, the two were silent until they returned to the forest near the Forbidden City. Xuan Shuang bit his lower lip until it bled. The dagger slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground with a "clang".
Jiang Liechen turned his gaze and said coldly, "Useless. You can't even hold a weapon. You'll die at any time." Xuan Shuang cleared his throat a few times and finally calmed his voice down. He said, "I just did something big. It's normal that I can't control myself. Why didn't you … say a few words of encouragement? "Jiang Liechen said," Ridiculous! I don't talk nonsense. "
Xuan Shuang snorted and said, "Fine, then let's talk about something serious. What do you think of my martial arts just now? "
Jiang Liechen said, "In your opinion, it might be worth being complacent. But in my opinion, it's full of flaws. It's not even worth mentioning. You were able to destroy An Jia Village because those weak women and children didn't have the strength to truss a chicken. It's not your skill. You'd better remember this clearly. "Xuan Shuang rolled his eyes and said," What are you doing? Master Tang said that you should give encouragement when teaching a disciple. You only know how to attack me. Will it kill you to say a few nice words? "
Jiang Liechen said, "Praise will only make you immerse yourself in an illusory complacency. It's completely meaningless." Xuan Shuang subconsciously defended himself, "Everything else is worthless. But even you said that Old Manor Head An's martial arts are not bad. He was defeated by my sword. That should be my true skill, right? "
He thought about the time when he held his sword against An Jia Village Head's chest. That Old Manor Head An's eyes were full of righteousness. He felt weak in his heart and didn't dare to look at An Jia Village Head. Manor Head An laughed loudly and said, "Seven Malevolent Demons, the Heavens bless our righteous path! You can kill me today, but tomorrow there will be hundreds and thousands of people who will rise up to resist. Sooner or later, your dream of ruling the world will be shattered. If you insist on walking the demonic path, even if we all die in a bloody battle, we will never bow our heads to you! "
Jiang Liechen looked up and coldly stared at him. He said, "You're too long-winded. How can an ignorant scoundrel like you understand my thousand-year foundation? Kill him for me! "His last sentence was an order to Xuan Shuang.
Manor Head An turned his head and said earnestly, "Child, from your eyes, Uncle can see that your nature is not bad. Even if you've been led astray for a while, how many young people don't make mistakes? … You're still young and have a bright future ahead of you. No matter what, you shouldn't be with this devil and help him do evil! The sea of bitterness is boundless. Repent and you'll see the shore. You must not continue to persist in going about things the wrong way! "
Xuan Shuang looked at him. His hair was white, his eyebrows were white, and his old face was stained with blood. He looked particularly frightening. He then looked around the room at the various corpses. They all seemed to be using the cruelest method to clearly accuse him of his previous crimes. He bit his lips. His eyes were bloodshot. He looked very much like the saying, "Bloodshot eyes".
He forced himself to look at Xuan Shuang's face, but he only dared to look below the bridge of Xuan Shuang's nose. He suppressed the deep pity he felt and said with a straight face, "You're mistaken. I'm his disciple. I'm just a little devil. Manor Head An, you can only blame yourself for overestimating yourself. With your meager abilities, do you think you can save the world? You yourself are in a sea of bitterness. How can you teach others how to break out of their cocoons? I'm sorry. "His wrist trembled as he slowly moved the short sword. The tip of the sword was aimed at Xuan Shuang's heart.
Manor Head An was not afraid. He laughed loudly and said, "Although I'm not famous, I've always been determined to be a hero. Even if I die, I'll die a heroic death. I definitely won't die in the hands of a devil who is reviled by everyone and a little child. "As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his hand and chopped Xuan Shuang's wrist. Xuan Shuang did not expect that he would still have the strength to fight back when he was seriously injured. He was caught off guard and the short sword was snatched away.
Jiang Liechen cursed, "Idiot." He saw Manor Head An suddenly turn the hilt of the sword around and stab himself in the abdomen. As he slowly fell down, his eyes were still staring at Xuan Shuang. His eyes were filled with kindness and serenity. There was not the slightest bit of resentment. His lips moved a few times. He no longer had the strength to speak. But from the shape of his mouth, one could barely make out that he was saying, "Child, you must learn to be good."
Xuan Shuang's nose turned sour. He could not help but crouch down and gently close his eyelids. He said, "Old Manor Head An, you knew that you were no match for the devil, but you still fought against the devil alone. Although you died a violent death in the end, you still lived up to the title of 'hero' that you pursued all your life. I'll let you see that your death today was worth it. Rest in peace. "
Jiang Liechen coldly looked at the blood-soaked child who was silently weeping among the corpses. He said, "In the end, he killed himself because he didn't want to stain your hands with another debt of blood. It's ridiculous. You're the assassin that I chose to cultivate. What he did was like a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood. You actually want to redeem your sins? Don't be so childish. You stabbed someone with a knife and then wept bitterly in front of his corpse. Do you think you can ask for peace of mind? That's just hypocrisy. "Xuan Shuang's mind was in a mess. His eyes were filled with blood.
