Chapter 173: Life and Death
Mutual appreciation? In fact, it was a one-sided appreciation from Yu ManTian!
”Young man, as long as you will promise me that you will stop killing and leave your a.s.sa.s.sin’s organization, I will spare your life. How about that?” Yu ManTian said with regret, ”If you are afraid that this organization will seek trouble with you after leaving, I will help you! In this world, there isn’t anything that I, Third Master Yu, can’t do! I do not need you to serve me, and you will still be a free man. You just need to agree to my condition.” After the fierce battle, Yu ManTian truly treasured this talent in front of him. Looking at this stubborn teen, it was as though Yu ManTian could see the stubbornness he had when he was younger.
”Idiot!” With heavy panting, Ling Jian’s eyes never revealed a trace of hesitation!
”I really don’t want to kill you. Perhaps, you can give me a reason to not kill you?” When he said that, a rare look of seriousness appeared on Yu ManTian’s bearded face. It was obvious that everything he said was from the bottom of his heart. ”For example, was that fatty your enemy? Give me a reason, any reason! I am willing to believe you. I can definitely believe you!”
Ling Jian's lips twitched as a trace of ridicule could be seen in his eyes. With arrogance, he said, ”No reason at all! I will kill whoever I want to! I do not need anyone’s pity! Who do you think you are? Do you think I am fighting you because of that fatty? I only want you dead. I still want you dead!”
You! Yu ManTian almost fainted from anger! Dammit, this daddy here really doesn't want to kill you. I have already said that I will definitely believe you regardless of the reason! Can’t you just say that the fatty was your enemy? I already reminded you that I just need an excuse to retreat. I just need a reason not to kill you! Even if you were to turn and run away, I would definitely not give chase to you. But you are still standing rooted to the ground without taking a single step! Not to mention your feet, even your gaze shows no signs of backing off! You are still looking at me like I am your mortal enemy! Yu ManTian was sure that if he were to give this black dressed man in front of him a chance, this black dressed man would definitely stab him in the throat without any hesitation. Did I dig up your family’s grave? Why are you staring at me with such hatred? Yu ManTian was completely depressed in his heart!
”What a stone!”
Yu ManTian scolded with a roar, ”Do you just have to kill? With your abilities, you would not starve to death no matter what you do. Don’t force me to kill you. I really don’t want to kill you!”
The extremely careless Third Master Yu never noticed that Ling Jian had already locked his sights on him.
”Hahaha!” Ling Jian laughed out loud as a trace of blood flowed down the corner of his lips, ”Soft-hearted! On just this point alone, you do not deserve to be a martial artist! Idiot!”
Ever since the both of them had met, this was the first time Ling Jian had said so much!
Ling Jian smiled and stepped forward towards the sword point that he was looking at. His movements were resolute and his eyes burning.
Yu ManTian subconsciously took a step back as perspiration flowed down his face, ”Let me say this again, don’t force me! I don’t want to kill a martial arts talent!”
”Don't you know that this world is one where the strong prey on the weak? Where the strong would rule the world?” Ling Jian continued walking forward. In this moment of life and death, the emotions which Ling Jian had been hiding in his heart burst forth. ”Did you know that I was originally a beggar at the mercy of the world? It was because of my hard work and sacrifice that I became stronger than others. So, I can be the calm judge of someone else’s life. Because they did not work hard and did not make any sacrifices, they deserve to die! For a weakling to die in the hands of someone strong, tha
t is an iron-clad rule which will never change! You are asking me why? HAHAHA… what a joke! Who do you think you are? Idiot!”
Ling Jian burst out into another wave of laughter as a crazed look could be seen in his eyes, ”Because I am stronger than them! This is the reason. If I can become even stronger, I can kill everyone in the world. They are only a bunch of ants! Since living is nothing more than torture to them, why not send them into reincarnation sooner? Are you satisfied now? Hahaha, is this reason enough? Let me tell you, if you don’t kill me today, I will definitely continue killing tomorrow! Let me go? Pity me? What a joke! You idiot!”
Ling Jian then snorted disdainfully, ”Who do you think you are? You are only a hypocritic gentleman from an aristocratic family wearing a jacket of rotten righteousness! You want to pity me? Do you have the right? Idiot!”
Ling Jian never imagined that he would say so many words in a single day. Was it because he felt fear in his heart in the face of death? Ling Jian couldn't help but think to himself with self-mockery.
Ling Jian had never believed these people who came from the large aristocratic families. In his heart, the rules were simple. The victor would be alive while death awaited the one who was defeated. There were no other choices! He would rather be sliced up into pieces than to be under the threat of a sword and plead for his life!
Even if there was a special reason, Ling Jian would never say it in such a scenario. Ling Jian’s arrogance could be said to be even higher than Ling Tian’s!
Yu ManTian let out a loud roar with his eyes as wide as saucers and his facial hair standing up straight! The muscles on his face also began to contort as he let out a violent roar from anger, ”Since you are longing for death, this daddy here will fulfill your wis.h.!.+”
