Chapter 443 – Killing one person
The people coming from all around didn’t seem to be humans at all, but hordes of beasts. They couldn’t even be considered horde, because the beasts also knew that they were afraid of knowing how to hide and seek a way out for themselves. However, these people didn’t know anything. They were only controlled by the elder and continued to rush forward. Using [Lightning Pool], An Zheng instantly cleared out a stretch of around one kilometer, and taking advantage of the gap that the people in the distance didn’t have time to attack, An Zheng rushed towards the City Lord’s Mansion’s entrance.
The blood of oveundred cultivators tried to suck An Zheng’s soul away, but right at this moment, a good old man appeared. good old man sucked in the starlight into his eyes. At that moment, the old man controlling the octagonal disk immediately wailed out, and then, a mouthful of blood sprayed out.
The good old man squatted on An Zheng’s shoulders and looked at the old man with a gaze of disdain. It was as if the old man’s heaven defying abilities were nothing in the eyes of the good old man.
Originally, An Zheng thought that he wouldn’t be able to withstand a single blow from the old man just now. That was an attack on the soul, An Zheng had no way to stop it yet. good old man arrogantly stood out and casually broke the old man’s attack.
The old man with the black cloth covering his face looked up to the sky and spat out a mouthful of blood. The black cloth on his face was sprayed away. It was an extremely aged face, and there didn’t seem to be anything special about it, so An Zheng was a little confused as to why he had to cover his own face. Anyone who covered their face was either extremely ugly, worried that they were too beautiful, or worried about some special rule. However, this old man was already this old. What was there to worry about?
In that moment, An Zheng came tealization.
The old man from the Zhou family in the Great Xi Holy See’s Stargaze Division.
He covered his face with a black cloth, afraid that others would recognize him.
An Zheng frowned: “At your age and status, why would you do such a malicious thing before you die?”
The old man’s face was ashen, he knew that An Zheng had already guessed who he was, and that was why he was so terrified. But after a short while, his fear disappeared.
“I’m going to die, what am I afraid of.”
He muttered this to himself before letting himself be helped to his feet.
“What do you know? You think it’s evil, but I think it’s harmony. Didn’t everyone want to see that society? Everyone was so kind, and nothing evil happened here. Everyone was living their own lives and would not interact with others. I have thought about it many times, thought about how I could get rid of the evil between everyone for a long, long time. ”
He looked at An Zheng and asked, “Can you give me an answer?”
An Zheng remained silent.
The old man sneered and said, “As long as you aruman, no matter how kind you look on the surface, as long as you are involved in desire, you will become sinister. Even if it were a family, such as father and son, sister and sister, brother and brother, as long as there were benefits and desires involved, they could all turn against one another and become enemies. So I came to think of it, all sin comes from desire, and all sin comes from contact. If one has no desire, one does not become evil. If there is no contact between people, of course there is no crime. ”
An Zheng sighed: “You are all crazy, you can’t even crawl in and out.”
“You’re the crazy one!”
The old man glared at An Zheng, “If it weren’t for you, the peaceful and prosperous period that Zhou Shen wholeheartedly wanted to create would not have spread throughout the world and he would have already settled down in the ancient city of An. Everything here would become more and more beautiful, and they would all follow a smooth path forward. If it weren’t for you, this place would be as quiet as ever, and no evil would appear for decades or even centuries. ”
An Zheng: “Because you are yourselves the greatest evil.”
The old man said angrily, “What’s so bad about that!”
An Zheng: “All of you look at these puppets all day long, do you really have such a great sense of accomplishment? “The tens of thousands of people on the border died of starvation. I’m afraid it was caused by you.”
“There has to brocess.”
The old man said matter-of-factly, “No matter how big a matter is, it cannot be done in one go. The more good things happen, the more important the matter, the more difficult it becomes. If I could, of course, I’d prefer not to have such an accident. However, in order to succeed, one must go through trial after trial, failure after failure, and finally, success after failure. Those people were dead, but they were all people who had done meritorious deeds. If it were not for their sacrifice, I would never have been able to help Zhou Shen accomplish such a great deed.
An Zheng: “You will only be smelly for ten thousand years.”
The old man coldly said, “I’ve said it before, you don’t know anything. You don’t have a dream, and you aren’t willing to sacrifice yourself to achieve it. Zhou Shen is different from you; he was personally trained by me. He had my ideals, and his own. All these years, he had always walked a path that no one else dared to walk. There is no doubt that he waioneer, and I was only a minor helper on his way. ”
An Zheng: “There’s nothing to say, there’s only killing to be done.”
He took a step forward and the old man immediately took a step back. But he quickly returned and angrily glared at An Zheng: “Even if you kill me, it will be useless. You won’t change anything. After I die, Zhou Shen will still continue working on it. ”
An Zheng: “He will also die, whatever you all do, heaven and earth cannot tolerate it.”
He moved forward, and the cultivators in front of the old man stepped forward to block his way. Bloody light appeared from people to people, these were all living people, and were all Zhou Shen’s subordinates. They became Zhou Shen’s loyal dogs, as if they had been brainwashed. An Zheng couldn’t help but think of the Mu Changyan from back then, as well as those young martial artists who had followed beside him. It was also the same words, always calling it an ideal. There was nothing to not do and do what one could not do. Who would have thought that such an absurd and terrifying thing would happen in the world?
Facing such a situation, An Zheng already had nothing to say. These people had all gone berserk, and they were even more terrifying than real demons. This was because no matter how savage or terrifying the act was, in their eyes, it was the right thing to do. And no matter who stopped them, who was a demon in their eyes. This was exactly the same as many other extreme religions in the world. They believed that everything they did was right, and anyone who opposed them was a demon, so they should be exterminated.
In the eyes of Zhou Shen and the old man, the sin that existed in this world was due to one’s own desires. Would it be possible for them to createaceful world? No one could do it. So they used an extreme method, which was to turn everyone into zombies and live according to their ideals. In their eyes, this was an incomparable beauty!
“Are you blocking me here just for Zhou Shen to escape?”
An Zheng continued to move forward but his hands showed no mercy at all. With every step, blood would splatter on the spot. Although the cultivators that charged forward were of flesh and blood, they looked no different from the common people that were walking dead. He was even more fanatical than those people, in their eyes, Zhou Shen was their mentor, their leader.
Finally, the last cultivator fell, only the old man was still standing in front of An Zheng.
“You destroyed a beautiful world.”
The old man looked at An Zheng with grief and indignation. If looks could kill, An Zheng would have been chopped into pieces long ago.
The elder was still holding the octagonal disc in his hand. Both of his hands were trembling violently.
“Let me see what kind of monster you are!”
He raised the octagonal circle up and looked at An Zheng like a mirror.
With a crack, the octagonal disc split apart.
“This... “How is this possible!?”
The old man’s face instantly turned ashen, and his eyes were filled with fear. “My Star Plate can reveal the fate of anyone, so why can’t I do the same for you? Why did the star disk split open? Who the hell are you? Where the hell did you come from! ”
An Zheng continued to move forward, and simply did not pay attention to him. When An Zheng brushed past the old man’s shoulder, a faint red line appeared on the old man’s neck. A second later, the red line gradually grew larger. Then, with a “pa” sound, it split open. A stream of blood gushed out from the hole in his neck like a waterfall. The old man’s head fell from his neck and landed on the steps, rolling far away.
Behind An Zheng, the people who were rushing over like tidewater suddenly stopped, they stood there in a daze, and did not know what to do next.
An Zheng strode into the City Lord’s Palace. He didn’t know if he could catch up to Zhou Shen again. Zhou Shen was no longer the high-spirited City Master of An Gu that An Zheng was once familiar with.
What made An Zheng a little surprised was that Zhou Shen did not escape. When An Zheng went around the row of houses in the front courtyard, he saw Zhou Shen standing undeeach tree.
A Zhou Shen crying towardeach tree, a strange Zhou Shen.
When he saw An Zheng walking over, his face and eyes were still filled with tears. An Zheng was thinking, maybe it was because he destroyed the perfect world in Zhou Shen’s heart that he cried?
Zhou Shen held a cup of wine in his hands and slowly spilled it onto the ground. Then, he knelt down and kowtowed a few times in a solemn manner, “Everyone, take care.”
He kowtowed and stood up, then turned and looked at An Zheng.
“I always thought that he would definitely be the one to kill me in the future. Until one day I heard he was dead. I’ve only had a few days of contact with him, but I believe we’re the same kind of people. I knew I would make friends with him, even brothers. Because we have the same ideals, the same perceptions. “It wasn’t until after he died that I realized that the world doesn’t allow people like us to live in it.”
He looked into An Zheng’s eyes: “They are very similar, really very similar...”
Zhou Shen took a deep breath, then calmly sat down in front of An Zheng. He didn’t know where he took out a jug of wine, and gulped it down. The wine ran down his chin and neck and quickly soaked his clothes.
He drank and let out a long breath.
“Breathe.”
He looked at An Zheng and laughed; that was a smile that An Zheng could not comprehend.
“Let me ask you a question.”
Zhou Shen lowered his head to look at the jug of wine in his hand, and the last tear in his eyes fell onto the jug of wine, making a soft “pa” sound.
“Do you know why I turned around and entered this courtyard just now? Why I ordered everyone to not leave and to kill you instead?”
An Zheng did not answer.
Zhou Shen said: “Could it be that I don’t know, that they won’t be able to kill you? These few years, I have ordered all cultivators outside the ancient city not to settle here, and also not to allow any cultivation sects to appear. All of the cultivators in the city are with me, and they are all under my command. Therefore … They deserve to die. ”
He raised his head, “Thank you... Now you only need one more person to kill. ”
