Chapter 1765: This Is What Cruelty Truly Is

"If it weren't for the appearance of Dharma Cultivators, the Huaxia Martial Dao lineage would likely have had its inheritance severed in your hands. Bullying the weak with strength, and now you talk to me about cruelty? Having been in seclusion for decades, have you secluded your brain into stupidity?"

"That's right, old man, talking to us about cruelty? Do you even know what cruelty is? The Songyi Family refuses to repent even in death; Mr. Chen is acting on behalf of the Heavenly Dao, stopping killing with killing. There is nothing cruel or not cruel about this. If I had such great strength, let alone a single family, I would drop ten 'Little Boys' on you people here," Zhao Ping cursed.

This guy was somewhat indignant. Although cursing this old man felt like a quick release of the tongue, it had to be said, it felt truly refreshing.

Yagyu Heiichi raised his head and stared fixedly at Zhao Ping, the intent to kill already stirred between his eyes.

Those three words were his taboo. During the Great Explosion, he was in seclusion and was shaken awake by a loud boom. After coming out of seclusion, flames were everywhere, nine out of ten houses were empty, as if the end of the world had arrived.

And he had always felt regret and self-reproach for not stopping this crisis back then. Now that Zhao Ping brought it up, it instantly triggered his intent to kill.

Chen Yu pushed Zhao Ping away with a backhand, then brought his right hand together in a Sword Finger and slashed out with a sword.

Boom— The connections between Zhao Ping and Yagyu Heiichi were instantly severed. Feeling the pressure lift, Zhao Ping felt his spirit relax, and he took five or six steps back before stabilizing his figure.

Even so, Zhao Ping was panting for breath, his face deathly pale.

He looked at Yagyu Heiichi with a horrified expression, revealing a trace of fear. If Chen Yu hadn't intervened, that little old man's gaze just now could have killed him.

"Just now, you were righteously accusing me of attacking ordinary people, yet you turned around and attacked yourself. Isn't this slapping your own face?" Chen Yu sneered, "What I despise most about you people is this: full of benevolence, righteousness, and morality, bowing and kneeling at every turn, but turning around and doing inhumane things."

"One must hold a heart of reverence for the dead. This little friend spoke rudely just now; it is necessary to give him a lesson," Yagyu Heiichi said in a deep voice.

"Then do you hold a heart of reverence for our dead? The Songyi Family has repeatedly spoken rudely, so they deserve to die," Chen Yu said.

Rebutted by Chen Yu until he was speechless, Yagyu Heiichi raised his head and said indifferently, "I came to see you today not to argue about these things. I came for the justice of a family."

"Their family does not deserve justice," Chen Yu shook his head slightly and said, "Your cultivation has not been easy. To be able to break through to the Heavenly Dao via Martial Dao and achieve the Heaven-Human Realm, even among Huaxia's Dharma Cultivators, those below the Spirit Rhinoceros Realm are likely no match for you."

"But you must remember, this Dao Fruit of yours was not easily attained, and I do not wish to shatter this hard-won Dao Fruit. However, you must be aware of it yourself, because for me, I generally satisfy those who crazily rush before me to seek death."

"Young man, it is clear that you have encountered many fortuitous events since you started your journey," Yagyu Heiichi said coldly, "But this is not your capital for being rampant. Tomorrow at noon, we will meet at the Songyi Family to resolve this matter face-to-face."

"Why wait until tomorrow noon?" Chen Yu looked puzzled.

"Because I am giving you one day to consider," Yagyu Heiichi said indifferently, "If you regret it during this time, it is still not too late."

"Then I thank you. Rest assured, I will definitely not regret it," Chen Yu laughed heartily. This old man has lived for over a century and is still so naive.

"Success at a young age inevitably leads to youthful arrogance. Junior, I do not blame you, but you must pay the price for your actions. With your Spirit Rhinoceros Realm, you are indeed a little higher than me," Yagyu Heiichi said full of confidence, "But I have been in seclusion for decades, contemplating the Heavenly Dao."

"My strength is no longer comparable to ordinary Spirit Rhinoceros Realm experts. I am giving you this opportunity because I consider that your cultivation was not easy. You must not be ungrateful. We will meet tomorrow at noon."

Yagyu Heiichi glanced at Chen Yu, then turned and disappeared without a trace, leaving Chen Yu in a state of disarray on the spot.

"You also said that ordinary Spirit Rhinoceros Realm experts are not your match, but do you know? I am not an ordinary Spirit Rhinoceros Realm," Chen Yu sighed helplessly, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Can't you wait for me to finish speaking?"

"This old man is too arrogant," Zhao Ping let out a slow breath, and his hanging heart finally settled down.

"He has the capital to be arrogant. After all, Fusang only has a few such old monsters who haven't appeared in a century. This guy is quite formidable, possessing extremely high talent, entering the Dao through Martial Dao," Chen Yu said, "If he wanted to, a single glance could have killed you."

"Too terrifying," Zhao Ping shook his head, "I hope there won't be such an old monster among my opponents. However, do you really intend to keep the appointment?"

"Otherwise?" Chen Yu spread his hands and smiled slightly, "He has already drawn the line, why shouldn't I go to the appointment? It would be good if he gathers the people of the Songyi Family together, saving me from searching everywhere. I'll just wipe them out in one go when the time comes."

"That sounds inspiring. Can I go with you?" Zhao Ping became excited. If he could really go with Chen Yu, that would be great.

"No," Chen Yu shook his head, "I won't be able to look after you then. There are many experts there."

"I will take good care of myself and will absolutely not cause you any trouble. This is about slaughtering a family; how many hot-blooded Huaxia people want to do this but can't."

Zhao Ping said excitedly, "I feel like I am going to witness history. Mr. Chen, I beg you, just take me to see it, okay? I promise I won't cause you any trouble."

"Why are you so excited?" Chen Yu looked at Zhao Ping with some confusion. He knew Zhao Ping was a hot-blooded youth, but he didn't expect this guy to be hot-blooded to this extent.

This is rare among young people. Most people don't know about the Songyi Family, and history also glosses over some things.

"Of course I'm excited, that's about slaughtering a family," Zhao Ping chuckled, "My great-grandfather was a man who fought in the war, and when I was a child, my grandfather often told me stories about my great-grandfather's time."

"My understanding of this family is far higher than others, so I also have a deep hatred for them. Now that you say you are going to slaughter this family, of course I am excited."

"That's not a joke. You also saw Yagyu Heiichi just now; this guy's strength is not below mine, especially his comprehension of the Heavenly Dao and Sword Dao, which is higher than ordinary people. Although Fusang is a small place, it also has monstrous figures," Chen Yu said, "I won't be able to look after you then."

Chen Yu naturally had his own worries. Although Yagyu Heiichi was an enemy, his strength was affirmed by Chen Yu.
