The Daughter Of Destiny Broke Off The Engagement? I Married Her Sister Instead.

Chapter 137 Slashing Nascent Soul With One Sword

"You dare not make a move here, right?"

"So I advise you to be honest. In case you accidentally kill civilians later, you will be just as guilty as me."

Chu Qianqiu, who was wandering around Hu Mo, absorbed the opponent's power while mocking him.

Hu Mo's veins bulged. He could clearly feel the opponent wandering around him, but it was indeed not easy to attack recklessly. He was afraid of causing a disturbance in the city and ruining his reputation.

The black flame punch he just threw had already soared into the sky and was seen by the people and soldiers.

Fortunately, he had aimed it towards the sky and not a specific direction in the city.

To be honest, if this furious blow had not been stopped, it would have caused a massive explosion in the city, resulting in the deaths of thousands of ordinary people.

That's thousands of people, while the Xiao family only had a few hundred.

And if he made a mistake, the guilt would be even more severe than Chu Qianqiu's in front of him. He would truly become a criminal, with even more crimes added on.

The kid was right. He didn't expect him to grasp his weakness so quickly.

Honestly, his position in the empire was relatively low. If he provoked someone higher up, his life would come to an end.

In this way, his dream of serving his master would also be completely shattered.

In this world, he was the only one supporting himself.

"You brat..."

Hu Mo angrily looked around, only able to let out the most powerless roar.

He was unwilling. He was actually being toyed with by a kid in the Gold Core realm like this, but he was helpless.

"If you think you're righteous, then come outside the city and duel with me."

"I'm giving you this opportunity."

"After all, I don't want to harm the people in this city. They are all innocent."

Chu Qianqiu in the void quickly flew towards the sky outside the city, leaving a tracking signal for Hu Mo.

Hu Mo immediately followed, surprised that the other party dared to make such a request, so he naturally agreed.

"You're digging your own grave."

"Do you, a murderer, still care about the people in this city? What are you pretending to be a good person for at this point?"

"Hehe, you're too stubborn. When did I ever say I was a good person? When did I ever say I was a bad person?"

"When I kill, of course I won't harm the innocent. But do you think those people from the Xiao family are innocent? Their fate is closely linked to their family head."

"Someone like Xiao Yan, relying on his father, oppressed countless people in the city. His clan members are the same."

"The weak will never have a voice. Under the rule of the strong, there is only oppression."

"In this world, no one is truly innocent and free of guilt. Even ordinary people, the livestock they slaughter is also a form of injustice towards the latter. Who will speak up for a cow or sheep?"

"Such examples are everywhere. People like you, who are obsessed with absolute justice, are indeed rare in this world. What I believe in is the ultimate gray in the world, neither black nor white."

The two conversed in the air, quickly flying away.

Hu Mo was silenced by the other party's words, realizing that it was indeed true.

The fairness of the world can only be maintained in a gray area, unable to achieve absolute justice.

He thought of the large fish and meat he had eaten yesterday at noon, which were delicacies that had survived in the eastern sea for decades.

If these creatures lived longer, perhaps they would have spiritual intelligence and start cultivating.

And he had eaten these lives, wasn't that a form of sin as well?

Were those fish born to be eaten by him?

If you delve deeper, he had been guilty since the moment he was born into this world.

Therefore, absolute justice and fairness do not exist in the world.

The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, is the fundamental rule of the world.

The relationship between Chu Qianqiu and the Xiao family may be the best portrayal of this world.

And the reason why he, Hu Mo, can use "law" to restrain Chu Qianqiu's behavior and pronounce him guilty is simply because he represents a stronger force and greater authority.

And the empire itself is also a jungle, forcibly conscripting soldiers, dispatching them to the battlefield, and killing enemy soldiers.

Once on the battlefield, soldiers are subject to fate, their lives and fortunes are in the hands of heaven, and they are no longer protected by imperial policies.

The so-called "one general's success is built upon the sacrifice of ten thousand soldiers," who is there now to ensure fairness for those who have died?

...

Seeing the two leave, Liu Jiangnan quickly caught up.

Liu Ruoyan was still by her father's side, worried about Chu Qianqiu's safety.

Liu Jiangnan said that Chu Qianqiu is still in a designated position and the two sides have not officially started fighting.

In fact, from the conversation between Hu Mo and Chu Qianqiu, Liu Ruoyan noticed a subtle problem.

That is, even though Hu Mo is currently at a great disadvantage, he still hasn't called for help.

It seems that the person in charge of investigating Chu Qianqiu's case has been him alone from beginning to end.

Isn't he relying on the entire imperial royal family behind him? Why can't he find someone to help him and confront everyone present, even in a disadvantaged position?

If this is his arrogance, then his strength seems to no longer allow it.

...

The group quickly flew out of the city and arrived at a remote desert.

Here, Chu Qianqiu revealed his figure and looked up at Hu Mo in the sky.

He sneered, wanting to see if this guy who upholds justice can defeat the "evil" now.

And after listening to Chu Qianqiu's words, Hu Mo, who had been contemplating, was now burning with black flames all over his body. Seeing the target appear and no civilians around, his spiritual power finally went out of control and erupted with the strongest attack.

"Die!"

He roared, his whole body transformed into a fist of black flames that covered the sky, as if venting the lingering irritability in his mind, the black flames suppressed from above.

Around him, Liu Ruoyan and the others who had arrived could already sense this immense killing intent and knew that Hu Mo was serious.

If they were to resist head-on, even peak Gold Core realm experts would die.

But Chu Qianqiu unexpectedly revealed his figure. Could it be that he had gone mad? Everyone present was puzzled.

"Tsk, your move seems a bit hesitant."

Facing the descending fiery fist, Chu Qianqiu drew his Red Flame Dragon Sword, his gaze sharp.

He infused the Flameless Heavenly Fire onto the blade of the Red Flame Dragon Sword and slashed out a sword qi.

Little Red also awakened its own power, causing its entire body to hum incessantly, releasing its true dragon might.

Soon, a sword qi carrying dragon might and heavenly fire was slashed out, effortlessly splitting the sky-obscuring black flames in two.

Hu Mo in the sky had not yet figured out what was happening when he was already locked onto by the sword qi, knowing that he couldn't dodge.

His fist of black flames in the air was easily resolved by the sword qi, splitting into two flames. Moreover, the flames were now being absorbed by the other party, growing stronger from his strongest attack.

And now, he was about to face a fatal blow from a Gold Core realm weakling, something he had never expected to happen.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion resounded, and the sky turned into a blooming lotus.

The sword qi exploded in the sky, and falling along with it was a person's body.

Hu Mo was injured by this sword qi and quickly fell.

With a loud noise, in the smoke, Hu Mo fell to the ground defenselessly.
