SFS Chapter 173: True and False, Sin, and Merit
Chapter 173: True and False, Sin, and Merit
The central base of the Earth Snake Gang is a mansion with a majestic appearance.
On the vermilion gate were written the words "Zhou Mansion". It was quite ironic that such a vicious gang was standing on the streets of the city.
Gently pushing open the door, Li Changxiao and Guanbai adhered to the idea of not leaving anyone behind and went their separate ways. The Zhou Mansion was very large, with rockery and rockery. In fact, the people in Dawo City had long known that there were close ties between the Zhou Mansion and the "Earth Snake Gang".
Moving forward and killing people silently, this is the swordsman's forte. Don't forget, he used to be a killer in Xiaoyao Tower, and he is very familiar with the killing moves. It is strange to say, it is the experience as a killer that made him both indifferent and value life.
Ignore it when you draw the sword, and take it seriously when you put it away.
As Qingping unsheathed the sword, the sword light flashed like a shadow, taking lives one by one.
He didn't kill the wrong person.
No one in the Zhou Mansion was innocent. They killed their way to the deep part of the Mansion. At this time, Guanbai, the second in command, the cook and three others also killed their way here, and the four of them reunited.
Silently, only the head of the Zhou Mansion was left, and he was not dead yet.
In the main house, the lights were bright, and on the oil paper on the window, two figures were reflected, one fat and one thin. The fat man knelt on the ground to salute, while the thin man stood with his hands behind his back.
The sound of two people talking in the house could be heard.
The fat man is the head of the Zhou family, and he calls the thin man "Immortal".
The four people were eavesdropping when the thin man unexpectedly noticed something unusual and waved his hand. A strong gust of wind blew and crushed the window to pieces.
Even more so, it was far from over. The strong wind rushed out of the house, accompanied by a shrill cry. The four people including Li Changxiao frowned and looked, only to see a ball of black wind.
"How brave!"
"How dare you kill my Zhou family like this!"
A thin man and a fat man walked out of the room, and the fat man cursed angrily.
It was also at this time that the black wind that crushed the windows revealed its shape. It turned out to be a ferocious soul beast that looked like a tiger and a human!
Without waiting for the four to react, the fat man had extraordinary eyesight and saw corpses everywhere. He knew that the person who came was not simple and had slaughtered everyone in his mansion. In addition to being angry, he was also frightened and sweating all over.
He turned to look at the thin man next to him and saw the thin man nodded lightly.
Immediately, the fat man sneered, and his body surface actually changed. His already fat body became more than a whole circle larger. A black horn grew between his eyebrows, and his skin gradually turned purple-red.
He just took a light step and burst out with extraordinary strength, and punched the nearest kanpaku one after another. With his abnormal physique and second-rate martial arts, he could easily deal with first-rate strong men.
Guanpaku was able to handle it, but this scene really shocked several people. They could not believe that a local snake gang could see such a scene. No wonder the government was helpless and the people were numb and let them be slaughtered.
The thin man sneered and waved his sleeves. Several black winds flew out and condensed several soul beasts in front of him.
There are those who look like tigers, those who look like jackals, those who look like vicious bears, and those who look like wild monkeys…
These soul beasts are strange and abnormal, and extremely difficult to deal with.
The thin man dodged and his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
During the entire process, there was not a single fluctuation of spiritual energy.
It seems that after the Ten Thousand Immortals Summit...
The world has quietly changed. No... It is impossible to perform such a unique move in just ten years.
I'm afraid this person has started researching it a long time ago.
The mutated fat man was finally defeated by the Kanpaku and had his belly pierced by two punches.
But those soul beasts are really difficult to deal with. They are like souls and beasts at the same time. Ordinary martial arts are useless against them, and spiritual energy needs to be used.
Naturally, this task was done by the second in command.
He just sighed softly, with a look of pain on his face.
A flash of lightning appeared at the fingertips.
It's thunder magic!
Li Changxiao's pupils shrank. The second in command who came and went in the inn could actually use thunder magic? This was something Li Changxiao had not expected. He was over a thousand years old and had been struggling in the cultivation world for many years. Most of the powerful people who were well-known knew some information, but when he first met the second in command, he could not figure out his origins. He hid it very well.
Until this moment, there were only some guesses.
There are only a handful of people in the world who have fully mastered the art of thunder.
The second in command is among them. No wonder he accepted the order from Dawo City. His thunder method is mighty and orthodox, and he cannot tolerate evil. What's more, what the Earth Snake Gang has done has crossed the bottom line. After he found out, how could he turn a blind eye?
I saw a small bolt of lightning coming out from the second in command.
It passed through the soul beast in an instant and completely disappeared.
It's just a pity.
The thin man has already gone far away. If one wants to chase and kill him, it will be very difficult. Moreover, this man can develop such a strange skill, his cultivation is not low. If one confronts him head-on, the result is unknown.
"What a strange technique."
The second in command looked at the dead fat man and said, "This fellow has never practiced cultivation, but he can burst out such extraordinary power. It's really mysterious. I never thought that this mere Earth Snake Gang would hide such a secret."
"Just take a look at the principle behind this?" asked the second in command.
Guanbai immediately leaned over to look, but couldn't see clearly. The cook glanced at him calmly and said nothing. Only Li Changxiao frowned and said, "It seems...it seems...possessed by a ghost?"
He was a little uncertain. Thanks to his long research on the Hundred Ghosts Technique, he was somewhat familiar with ghosts. He vaguely felt that the fat man's abnormality was related to it.
The second in command nodded, "It really is a ghost possessing him."
"Come on, follow me to the cave." The second in command thought of something and took a few people to the Zhou family's cave.
The entrance was under a rockery, which was discovered by the second in command by chance. By pushing away the rockery and prying open the wooden board on the top with a wooden stick, a passage leading to the underground could be seen.
Going down the passage, wailing sounds were heard, and a picture of hell on earth appeared before the three people.
Here are missing boys and girls who have been rounded up from all over the place. Some have had their tongues pulled out, some have had their hands and feet cut off. It is useless to let them wail, and it is extremely horrifying.
Going deep into the cave, the second in command looked for the traces left by the thin man, but saw a black tripod at the deepest part. Looking inside, there were only shredded meat and broken bones.
There were several notebooks scattered on the ground.
The second in command opened it and took a look.
His guess was confirmed, and he roughly knew the reason. He said, "This guy is really vicious."
"The Earth Snake Gang has a purpose in killing people alive. Money is one of them. For that thin guy, it is more about accumulating resentment from the victims."
"When the resentment is deep enough, throw it into this cauldron and smash it to death. After death, the soul will remain in the world for a long time because of the deep resentment, even if it is a mortal."
"After that, there will be great potential. I believe he has already figured out how to use the special skills of these souls."
"The soul beast and the fat man's mutations are both like this."
After the Second in Command finished speaking, he looked a little grim. He had already tasted the mystery of political reform, but where there is good there is bad, there are always people who are indifferent to life and those who will do anything to achieve their goals.
However, at this moment, there was something that they had to face, and it was placed before the four of them.
The victims here...
How to deal with it?
The regent suggested that they all be rescued and handed over to the government, but the second in command questioned it. He said that in today's troubled times, the area of the country has shrunk, and there have been frequent wars in mortal countries. There are about a hundred people here, most of whom are disabled and unable to take care of themselves.
How could the government possibly handle this?
The words fell.
Inside the cellar, several people fell into silence.
The wailing sounds continued.
There was a man whose limbs were severely bent, shouting for help, and a woman whose ears, nose, eyes and mouth were destroyed, whimpering unidentifiedly.
There was some silence.
The silent swordsman finally spoke. He patted his sword and said only one word, "Kill."
The words fell.
The three of them turned their heads at the same time. The Guanbai's eyes were full of disbelief, the second in command had a complicated look, and the cook was surprised with a hint of appreciation.
"Well." The cook took a step forward and said, "Let me do it. I have a sharp knife."
Li Changxiao shook his head, took a sip of wine, and sprayed the wine mist on the Qingping Sword.
He said calmly, "I'll do it."
Seeing this, the three of them looked at each other and walked out of the cellar.
A dark cellar, various cruel figures, and a cold sword.
Li Changxiao had a cold expression as he walked up to a little girl. The little girl was limp all over, her limbs were gone, and there was a vase next to her.
The only part of the body that was intact was the face. It was a cute, rosy face with delicate features like a porcelain doll.
Now looking at the swordsman with fear.
Even though she is so humble, she may not... not want to live.
"It won't hurt."
Li Changxiao murmured softly, and the long sword lightly swept across, and the little girl's breath died instantly.
He walked towards the next one. This was an adult man, his limbs were twisted, his eyes were gouged out, but he could speak. When he heard the swordsman's footsteps, he begged for mercy, saying that he could make money and he could continue to beg, so please don't kill him.
However, the swordsman looked indifferent and slashed with his sword.
The man's breath gradually died down, but a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
One step, one kill.
Li Changxiao is like a cold-blooded executioner.
Some begged for mercy, some cursed, some were willing to die, and some wanted to live in disgrace.
However, everyone Li Changxiao met died.
Treating human life as worthless is a sin greater than heaven.
But it is the greatest tenderness that Li Changxiao can give.
He is killing people.
But I was thinking in my heart.
Is truth or falsehood really that important sometimes?
Everyone only knew that he killed a person with one sword, but they didn't know that this sword was a beautiful dream, a carefully woven, disease-free, pain-free dream that was so real that it could be mistaken for reality.
But after all...
Sweet dreams are false.
Killing is real.
After a stick of incense.
There were corpses everywhere and no one survived.
He slowly put away the Qingping sword, his eyes calm, and stood still for a long time.
He is thinking...
Am I a good person or a bad person?
Is it merit or sin?
Can't tell.
Just like true and false.
Only strong liquor can confuse the two.
