Chapter 37: Kill for the Good

The middle-aged man looked at the young man who was lying on the floor and kept a distance of more than 10 meters . He didn’t rush over to help him .

“Uncle, help me . I ran into a Xiong Beast and broke my leg when I tried to escape . Help me please, I have money, I can give you money . ”

The young man who was lying on the ground pleaded for help when he saw a pa.s.serby .

“Kiddo, who are you? You are at the depths of the An Nan mountains, why are you here?”

“I’m a disciple of the Mu family in An Nan city . I came to the An Nan mountains to train and found a hundred-year-old ginseng . However, I encountered a Xiong Beast . When I was being chased about, I fled here and broke my leg . Uncle, please help me . I-I have a ginseng and I have money too . If you help me back to the Mu family, I will compensate you . ”

The young man pleaded in pain .

“What?! You have a hundred-year-old ginseng?”

The middle-aged man was overjoyed when he heard his words, and there was a trace of greed in his eyes . A hundred-year-old ginseng could be worth thousands of gold coins, so it was considered a huge windfall .

“Yeah, if you save me, I will give you half of the share after I sell the ginseng . ”

“Haha, okay . I’ll save you now, don’t move . ”

The middle-aged man was overjoyed but there was a murderous intent in his eyes . He walked slowly towards the young man with a sword in his hand .

When he was three or four meters away from the young man, he dashed forward suddenly, his sword aiming at the young man .

“Kiddo, it’ll be best for you to stay here and feed yourself to the wolves! I will help you sell your ginseng!”

The middle-aged man grinned widely and struck with his sword .

“Hey!”

However, at the same time, at the top of a rock that was several meters high, a short-haired teenager jumped down and struck the middle-aged man with a knife .  

The face of the middle-aged man turned pale instantly . He stopped his original strike abruptly and raised his sword to block the attack .

Clang!

His sword blocked the attack from the short-haired young man and the impact caused the young man to do a somersault before landing on the ground .

Swoos.h.!.+ 

However, at the same time, Mu Feng, who was lying on the ground, pulled out a dagger attached behind his calf and did a kip-up . He then stabbed it into the middle-aged man’s chest .

The middle-aged man was stunned . The attack was so sudden that he couldn’t dodge it, but luckily, his body was leaned slightly . As a result, the dagger stabbed into his chest but not his heart .

“Ah…!”

The middle-aged man shouted angrily and struck towards Mu Feng with his sword . Mu Feng, who managed to get a hit, retreated immediately and dodged the attack .

Deng deng deng!

The middle-aged man took a few steps back and looked at the two teenagers in surprise and anger .

He never thought that he himself who worked as a mercenary for more than 10 years would actually die into the hands of two teenagers .

Khoff! Khak!

With the sword in his hand, he spat out a mouthful of blood . The wound on his chest was bleeding profusely . His arm was already heavily injured, and to make things worse, he was stabbed in the chest by a dagger .

“Kiddo, how dare you to set me up…!”

The middle-aged man shouted furiously .

“Right back at you . Didn’t you want to kill me as well? If you weren’t greedy, do you think that I would have the chance?”

Mu Feng said with a cold smile .

The middle-aged man was both surprised and angry . He struck at them with his sword .

A gush of gold colored Sword Qi struck towards Mu Feng and Mu Kuang .

Mu Feng and Mu Kuang dodged away quickly, causing the Sword Qi to strike the rocks, leaving a deep cut .

By attacking with Vitality, the wound of the middle-aged man was further opened, causing him to spit out another mouthful of blood . However, he turned around and ran away immediately .

Currently, he was in a bad position as he was seriously injured . Although these two young men seemed to only reach the Tong Mai level, it was enough to kill him . Thus, his best chance was to run and escape .

Mu Feng and Mu Kuang, of course, would not let him get away . Mu Feng raised his hand and channeled his energy into the dagger which then transformed into a beam of white light that targeted the middle-aged man .

Chakk!

The dagger was stabbed deeply into the bone of the middle-aged man’s leg in an instant .

The middle-aged man fell onto the ground with a loud bang and howled in pain . Both of them rushed over and Mu Feng chopped off his other arm with a strike of his sword while blood gushed out .

“Ah…!”

Losing both of his arms, the middle-aged man rolled on the floor and screamed agonizingly .

Both of them looked at the middle-aged man who rolled on the ground like a stick without a hint of pity .

This guy was a person who didn’t hesitate at all about sacrificing his comrade in order to live . The only way to deal with this kind of person is to be even more ruthless than him .

“Xiao Kuang, you will be the one to kill him . ”

Mu Feng said while looking at the middle-aged man who was still howling in pain .

“What? I… Brother Feng, I…”

Upon hearing this, Mu Kuang hesitated . He had never killed a person before .

“Why? You’re afraid?”

Mu Feng raised his eyebrows .

“No, I’m not!”

Mu Kuang took a deep breath and showed a trace of determination . He looked at the middle-aged man who was rolling on the ground and walked over to him with a knife in his hand .

“You little brat, if you kill me, I won’t let you off the hook even when I become a ghost!”

The middle-aged man looked at Mu Kuang with red eyes and shouted furiously . His fierce look scared Mu Kuang, causing him to tremble and his raised hand to stop abruptly in mid-air .

“He’s nothing but a treacherous and unjust murderer and he’s no better than a peasant . There is nothing to be afraid of, kill him!”

Mu Feng shouted loudly .

Upon hearing these words, Mu Kuang made up his mind and there was a murderous intent in his eyes . He shouted: “Kill!”

Swoos.h.!.+

The knife struck down heavily .

“No…!”

Kachak!

There was a gush of blood and a head rolled on the ground . The middle-aged man still had a shocked and reluctant expression on his face .

After killing him, Mu Kuang breathed heavily as though he had just fought in a battle . Mu Kuang stared blankly at the b.l.o.o.d.y corpse .

Mu Feng let out a sigh . He felt the same too when he first killed a man . He walked over, gave a pat on Mu Kuang’s shoulder, and hugged him .

“Xiao Kuang, by being born in this world and by practicing Wudo, you will definitely witness more scenes like this . Killing is not for one’s pleasure, but for one’s survival . Especially for this type of vicious man, if you don’t kill him, he will do everything he can to kill you instead . Please don’t blame me for asking you to do so . ”

Mu Feng patted Mu Kuang on the back and said .

“I know . It’s just that when he looked me in the eye, I just wasn’t hardhearted enough to do it . He’s still a human being after all . ”

Mu Kuang said softly . Although he was reckless and daring, he definitely had a good and kind heart .

“I know, but he’s no better than a peasant, don’t feel guilty . You’re just helping his comrade seek revenge . We kill people . We do not kill the good and innocent, but only the evil and those who want to kill us . That’s not wrong . ”

Mu Feng then looked at the corpse and said: “There’s a lot of Blood Qi in his body . Use it for your cultivation, I will help stand guard . ”

Mu Kuang looked at the headless corpse and smiled bitterly: “Brother Feng, you do it . Leave me alone and give me some time to settle down . ”

Mu Feng was aware that Mu Kuang was having mixed feelings and he didn’t further persuade him . Instead, he sat down cross-legged started to cultivate by absorbing the Blood Qi in the corpse .

There were five blood seeds inside the body of the middle-aged man . After his cultivation, Mu Feng was able to restore his tenth Xue Ling pulse . His eleventh Xue Ling pulse was also half restored and he felt even more powerful than before .

Currently, he has ten Xue Ling pulses in his body . This meant that he had one more additional pulse compared to a normal cultivator who had reached the Ninth Sky . The magnitude of his strength was not known, but it was bound to be much stronger than that of a cultivator who had reached Tong Mai Ninth Sky .
