1005 Every Human Being Has Compassion (2/2)

The Eldest Brother frowned.

The Drunkard said again, ”Please kill.”

The Eldest Brother smoothed his eyebrows. He started pondering and hesitating. Or perhaps the next moment he would leave to kill.

”There are countless Taoist priests in the Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen Kingdoms. You can kill them all. There are hundreds of millions of followers that you can kill. There are many savages in the Gra.s.sland that you can kill. You can kill whomever you want.” The Drunkard looked at his smoothed eyebrows and asked, ”If you can come to the Peach Mountain, you can probably kill more people as you wish. But who are you going to kill and who should be killed?”

To kill or not to kill, that was a question.The other question was whom to kill. Throughout the human world and across the peach blossomed mountains, who was the most evil one? And who should be killed? Who was to make the decision and who was qualified to make such a decision?

It was difficult to answer. Some people such as Lian Sheng thought it was not worthy of answering because everyone in the human world should die. Some others, like the Drunkard, did not care to think because he saw himself as a demi-G.o.d in the human world. But for the Eldest Brother, it was a question that must be answered.

He stood by the willows along the moat and the blood-stained sedan. He pondered for a long while. Liu Yiqing's eyes were closed silently as if he was deeply asleep. The rest of the cultivators and generals by the moat were all in comas. Only the Drunkard, Long Qing, and Hengmu were waiting for his decision.

Watching his cotton-padded gown swinging in the night breeze and the dust on it falling onto the ground, Long Qing felt nervous. Yet he was also looking forward.

If the gown were to move and Mr. First were to leave to kill, then the world would become a whole new world that no one had ever witnessed.

In that world, no rule would apply because the fundamental rule of life and death would be broken. If two great cultivators at the state of Distanceless would be slaughtering across the world, then no one knew who would die next.

It just took one of them to overtake the rules of this world. If there would be the two of them, then they could definitely destroy the world.

Hengmu looked at the Drunkard and the Eldest Brother, and finally realized why Distanceless was the most unique above the Five States. It could almost mean a different world.

The darkness thickened. The water calmed down until it was deadly still. The human world seemed to be waiting for its doom. No one knew for how long they had waited until dawn finally came.

The Eldest Brother had been standing by the sedan and never left.

People woke up and fled from the moat. The bright moon left and a warm red morning sun appeared in the sky. It lightened up the burned ruins as well as the newly built courtyards in Linkang.

”Indeed no one could stop you, except for yourself.”

The Drunkard looked at him and said, ”You don't have the guts to kill after all.”

”It is not a matter of lacking guts, but a matter of having compa.s.sion.”

The Eldest Brother had made his decision. ”Every human being has compa.s.sion. You think you are a G.o.d, not a human being. Therefore you can kill. But I cannot because I am still a human.”
