“Please, don’t kill me, don’t kill me.”
“Don’t, ah ~~~~~~~~~-”
Facing a situation where there was nowhere to escape, many people within the great hall began to kneel on the ground with a handful of snot and tears, kowtowing to Chu Feng and Zi Ling and begging for mercy, but in return, they were all mercilessly slaughtered.
For such people, Chu Feng and Zi Ling would not show any pity, because Chu Feng and Zi Ling knew their nature, even though they were humbly begging for forgiveness at the moment, after they left this place, they would definitely continue to do evil and wrong, such people must be killed.
Chu Feng and Zi Ling, with their thunderous methods of killing, killed most of the evil people in the hall in the blink of an eye.
However, Chu Feng saved Yan Yangtian for last, and only after killing all of these Yan Yangtian’s men within the hall did Chu Feng come to Yan Yangtian’s body and ask:
“Back then, when you dealt with me, did you ever think that you would have this day?”
“Hehahahaha ……” Yan Yangtian did not reply, instead, he suddenly burst out laughing.
His smile told Chu Feng that he was no longer afraid of dying or of Chu Feng torturing him, in telling Chu Feng that he was ready for all of it.
Therefore, he put away all his humility, even the fear in his eyes, and tried his best to maintain the demeanour of a king of his generation as he said to Chu Feng:
“To think that I, Yan Yangtian, have roamed across Qingzhou for dozens of years, what a sight I was back then, indeed I never thought that I would be here today.”
“Still less would I have thought that I would fall into the hands of a youngster.”
“But there is no excuse for a victorious king or a defeated foe.”
“You, Chu Feng, are more powerful and ruthless than me, I, Yan Yangtian, concede the point.”
“But I don’t feel ashamed, even the Kyushu Continent, so many of the top great powers with long heritage, the great figures, have nothing to do with you, what can I do?”
“If you were to ask me if I regret what I did in the first place, I can tell you that I do, I regret it very much, I regret that I shouldn’t have provoked you ……”
“If I could choose again, I would have gone to pull you in and please you.”
“But it has already happened, what is the use of me regretting, I can only envy, envy the Patriarch of the Green Dragon Sect, the uniqueness of his vision, he has better vision than me and is smarter than me, because he pressed you.”
“Now I am right in front of you, and although my cultivation is still above yours, my strength is far below yours.”
“Kill or be killed, I have no complaints whatsoever, do it, if today I, Yan Yangtian, beg for mercy by half, I will be your son in the next life.”
Looking at such a Yan Yangtian, Chu Feng first closed his eyes, the past vivid in his mind, then he suddenly smiled, as if he had thought of something, and then said to Yan Yangtian:
“You do see through, but don’t worry, I won’t kill you, and I won’t torture you, but I will deprive you of your strength so that you will no longer plague the common people and oppress the weak.” Chu Feng smiled indifferently, then his single hand probed out, like a sharp blade, and stabbed directly into Yan Yangtian’s dantian.
“Oooh ~~~~~~” And along with a fresh blood, which gushed out wildly from his dantian, Yan Yangtian could not help but let out a miserable scream, and then fell to the ground with a pale face, his body convulsing for a while.
Chu Feng did not kill Yan Yangtian, it was not because he was soft-hearted, nor was it because he wanted to give him a chance to reform, but he just suddenly did not want to kill.
If, for example, Yan Yangtian’s strength was still above Chu Feng’s, or if he could still pose a great threat to Chu Feng, Chu Feng would have killed him without hesitation in order to get rid of the problem afterwards.
But facing someone who no longer posed any threat, Chu Feng felt that there was no longer any point in killing him or not.
Anyway, the Ling Yun Clan Patriarch who had chased him around and could slap him to death with a single move of his hand had now lost to him and could no longer threaten him.
His existence might still be able to remind Chu Feng that the trials and tribulations he had gone through had not been in vain.
For he who had struggled through the ordeal had grown quickly and had trampled underfoot countless people who had once threatened his life, making it impossible for them to turn over in this life.
Afterwards, Chu Feng and Zi Ling, too, did not go on a killing spree, but drove away all the martial cultivators here, and then dismissed the hard labourers here.
After questioning, the young girl who had almost been raped was really Er Ya’s sister.
Chu Feng and Zi Ling then, with the Art of Boundary, helped her recover her broken arm, and with pills, helped her heal her wounds, and even soothed her wounded heart, causing her to quickly shake off the shadow and recover her health.
After doing so, Chu Feng and Zi Ling, then took Er Ya’s sister and headed towards the village where Er Ya’s family lived.
“Without my cultivation, what’s the point of me living?”
However, just after Chu Feng and Zi Ling left, Yan Yangtian, who had been completely deprived of his cultivation, arrived at the top of a mountain peak.
His face had long since lost the arrogance of that day, and his demeanor had long since ceased to resemble that of a great figure of the Sovereign level, not like the once dominant lord of a side, the king of a generation, but rather more like an old man who had undergone many vicissitudes.
“Finally, he fell off the cliff with a whoosh of air in his step.
Without his cultivation, without the Heavenly Force in his body, his physical body was just like a commoner, fragile and weak.
He fell from the cliff hundreds of metres to the ground and was reduced to mush, the reigning Patriarch of the Green State, who had fallen here.
“Chu Feng, today we have done a good deed, haven’t we?”
“In the world, there is nothing that is absolutely good, nor is there anything that is absolutely bad, as long as you feel it is right, then it is a good thing.”
Above the sky, between the white clouds, Chu Feng was urging the Dragon to travel through the Nine Heavens, carrying the Purple Bell, as he rode through the air, heading back towards the place where he lived.
“Chit.” Hearing Chu Feng’s words, Zi Ling glanced at her mouth, then smiled slightly again, “It’s not unreasonable to say that there are two sides to everything, and when we kill someone to save them, even if the person we kill is evil, the people we save think we are good.”
“But in fact, we are no longer good people either, because the families of the wicked may not be wicked, but in the eyes of the families of the wicked, we have killed their loved ones, so we are wicked.”
“Daughter-in-law, then how are you feeling today, are you happy?” Chu Feng asked with a smile.
“Happy, seeing Erma’s family, being able to be happy together, I am really happy, perhaps the simple life of ordinary people is the most difficult happiness for people like us, to obtain” Zi Ling smiled sweetly.
“It’s good to be happy.” Chu Feng also smiled blandly.
It was by no means the first time Chu Feng had done something like saving Erma’s sister. Chu Feng could not bear to see humble commoners being oppressed by the strong, so when he encountered such things, he would mostly fight for justice.
But he was also the one who was oppressed, when the Ling Yun Clan oppressed him, now the six great powers oppressed him, even the Jiang Imperial Dynasty had sent out their people to try to oppress him as well.
Faced with the oppression, Chu Feng rose up against it, but he, who was originally the oppressed, became the villain in the eyes of the people, while the pontiffs who oppressed him became the side of justice instead.
