[Revenge is revenge, but you must clearly understand that you are a decent person. How could you casually kill a pair of adulterers who have "no grudge" against you?]
[After all, you are not a devil. ]
You display the immense strength of a first-rate martial artist, a deep blue aura surrounding you as you appear before Song Yulang and the others. Song Yulang immediately cups his fists and says, "Greetings, Senior."
You carefully studied Song Yulang, and just as his scalp tingled and his legs trembled, you finally spoke.
"Young man, I have something to tell you."
You pull Song Yulang to a corner, raise your chopping sword, and gesture in front of him: "Young man, do you think I'm strong enough? Guess how many times it will take me to kill you?"
Song Yulang broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't understand why. He had turned over a new leaf a month ago and had never stolen jade or flowers again. Moreover, when he was a flower picker, thanks to his handsome face, he had rarely encountered any serious resistance. He didn't understand how he had offended this master, whom he had never met before.
"Senior, can you please be frank?" If Chu Xian'er hadn't been nearby, constantly glancing in his direction, Song Yulang would have knelt.
"It's simple. I'm narrow-minded. I hate it most when handsome men and beautiful women like you flirt with each other in public. I can't stand seeing you and her being together. If you want peace and quiet, then kick her out!"
"If they're engaged, divorce them. If they're eloping, send her back to where she came from!"
[You know, for a love-stricken woman, if her lover takes the initiative to rape her, the damage it causes is definitely more devastating than killing her!]
However, after hearing this, Song Yulang smiled in relief, "Senior, you don't have to be like this. I was just unhappy for a moment. Why would you separate me from the one I love? You wouldn't kill me for such a small thing."
You had a blank expression on your face. You hated these smart-aleck kids the most: "I can't kill you. But do you think if I left some scars on your pretty face..."
Before he could finish his words, Song Yulang's gaze suddenly became firm: "Senior, I know what to do."
You pause at the corner, watching the pretty boy approach Chu Xian'er: "Go back to the Chu family."
Chu Xian'er's face was filled with disbelief: "Brother Yulang, did that guy threaten you?"
"Qi." Song Yulang sneered, "I'm just tired of playing with you. Do you really think you're some good-for-nothing? I've played with girls like you for at least eighty, if not ten. I just want to try playing with you for a little longer..."
His cold words pierced Chu Xian'er's heart like a needle, and you know that even if the truth is not as serious as he said, it is only a matter of time before Song Yulang abandons Chu Xian'er - he values his pretty boy more than his love for Chu Xian'er!
[Watching Chu Xian'er's face turn pale, confusion, pain, sadness, and despair all appeared on her face, a poignant and beautiful expression like a pear blossom in the rain. You took a deep breath.]
[People experience joys and sorrows differently. You only feel joy, like a dark maggot in a corner, wriggling and laughing non-stop.]
Chu Xian'er collapsed. She slapped Song Yulang fiercely... How could an ordinary woman like her attack a martial artist?
[Pa! The sound of a slap exploded, and the person who was slapped was certainly not Song Yulang. You looked at Chu Xian'er, whose face was red and swollen, and left with satisfaction.]
[No matter how things develop later, whether Song Yulang finds Chu Xian'er and sends her back to the Chu family in Qingcheng, that is none of your business. Because what happened yesterday alone means they are destined not to return to the original situation.]
[Daqing 296, you practice martial arts every day without fail, practicing various martial arts techniques, and your energy is deeply rooted in your bones.]
[Daqing 297, you have encountered challenges from some young warriors. No matter how formidable their talents are, those second-rate warriors will not be your match under the sheer pressure of their martial arts skills.]
[And some young and highly qualified warriors who have just reached the top level are also suppressed by you and are no match for you.]
[In the 298th year of the Daqing era, you are 43 years old, your foundation is at 157%, and your Qi and Bone Strength have reached nearly halfway. Within ten years, you will definitely reach the limit of a first-rate martial artist.]
[The only question is: how to survive the demonic creature that will appear in a year.]
You have two options. One is to hide in some remote place where the city won't be massacred, and then wait for the Grandmasters to make a move and see if you can kill the monster.
[The second option is to flee Qing, or even flee from the Three Kingdoms. However, this step can be taken after the Grandmasters are defeated.]
You first went to the Golden Wind Tower to gather more information. The common people, even warriors like you, considered the three kingdoms of Qing, Wu, and Ning to be the entire world.
[However, after you look up the information, you find that this subconscious belief is not without reason.]
Beyond the rectangular territory formed by the three kingdoms, to the north lay vast expanses of barren land and mountains. There was almost no living thing, the only sign being the weeds that covered the ground, all of which were withered and yellow.
So why not expand the territory?
[In fact, it is always being developed, but the pace is too slow. It takes decades to create an additional county or city.]
The south is like a jungle, filled with primitive jungles, poisonous insects, swamps, and various factors such as acclimatization... It is also constantly being developed, and the sects are established in the southern border areas.
The West is a vast desert. A master once explored the desert's edge and reportedly arrived at a vast grassland inhabited by nomadic peoples.
[The East is a lonely sea. Once, a foreigner crossed the sea and arrived. He had red hair and thin eyebrows. He said he had drifted downstream for more than half a year before arriving.]
[In short, the East and West are both too difficult to explore, so no one has considered exploring them. However, there are indeed some ancient human civilizations at the end of both directions.]
[The north and south are relatively undeveloped areas, and no other cultural relics have been found in the barren land, mountains, and jungles.]
[To be on the safe side, you decided to live in Donglin City first. When you have one year left, you will take your supplies and head to the southern frontier—only there, although primitive, does it have some animals to hunt and eat.]
[The north is pure wasteland. With your physical strength in the west, you might not be able to survive the desert. The east is far less developed. Who knows what kind of martial arts skills that red-haired, slender-browed foreigner possessed? He managed to survive six months on the ocean without dying.]
[In the year 300 of Daqing, you are still in Donglin City. Lately, your martial arts training has decreased, mainly due to your indulgence in food, drink, and sexual pleasure.]
[In the 302nd year of the Daqing era, due to laziness, your energy and bone strength have only increased by 15% over the past four years: despite the higher increase in your foundation.]
At the end of the year, you figured the time was almost up and started gathering all sorts of durable food, etc., in preparation for heading south.
You traverse the Kingdom of Qing, then pass through a small area of Ning Kingdom, and finally stop at a small town on the border.
