747 This Has Nothing to Do with Kindness or Generosity (2/2)
Taoist Cui asked, ”What attitude?”
Second Brother answered, ”The seven families of Qinghe County must suffer if they have to die.”
Taoist Cui sighed and said, ”I see.”
Having said that, he slowly sat down on the ground and began to pant because his lungs and trachea had been broken by the iron swords. No matter how much he panted, he could not take in any air, so he seemed to be in extreme pain.
After some time, he lowered his head tiredly and passed away in pain.
It was gloomy as dark clouds blocked out the sunlight.
Second Brother was bathed in blood as he stood on the plains in front of the forest made up of hundreds of swords, and in front of countless of bodies of cultivators. He looked at the cultivators in the south.
He raised the iron sword in his hand again.
He did not utter a single word.
The cultivators on the plains, however, seemed to have heard him asking if there was anyone else.
The cultivators' gazes were all attracted to the iron sword that seemed to contain a mysterious power.
The iron sword was very unusual. It was broad, straight and its color was dull. It looked rather ridiculous.
However, everyone felt like crying when they saw the sword.
Some people could not even cry even if they wanted to. They were too afraid.
The cultivators standing in front of the sword could no longer dredge up the courage to fight. They retreated.
The Verdant Canyon became quiet once more.
The blood on the ground has accumulated into puddle, reflecting the dark sky and appearing dark.
Everyone from the Academy rushed out from the shelter.
Holding a stool in his left hand, Wang Chi held a medicine bag tightly in his right hand. He rushed to Second Brother and asked him to sit, putting the medicine bag to his mouth and pouring its contents in.
Seventh Sister carried a kettle and a water bowl. Seeing that she might not have time, she simply threw the bowl away and put the spout directly into Second Brother's mouth, pouring water into his mouth desperately.
Second Brother was not an ordinary person and was unusual in all aspects. Surrounded by his busy Younger Brothers and Sisters, he was still calm and he quickly swallowed the medicine and water.
Fourth Brother and Sixth Brother had also run up at this time. They squatted in front of Second Brother, examining the chest piece of his armor with grave expressions.
Taoist Cui's Natal Taoist Sword had pierced that spot.
When the Taoist Sword in the Knowing Destiny State had stabbed the armor, the rune in the armor automatically activated and condensed a thin and tough layer of Qi of Heaven and Earth. Therefore, the sword had made no impact on Second Brother.
However, the rune hidden in the armor was slightly distorted by Taoist Cui's sword.
Sixth Brother took off the box behind him and took out a set of special tools that were like crab-eating tools and began to repair them.
Fourth Brother stood at a side and did the calculation and gave guidance regarding the imaging. Then, he looked at Second Brother and asked, ”Is there any problem with the sword?”
Sixth Brother looked at Second Brother with a worried expression.
The iron sword was the most important equipment. If it was damaged, even though the Academy had brought iron ovens so they could repair it, the West-Hill Divine Palace would definitely not give them much time to do so.
Second Brother looked at the broad straight sword in his hand and answered, ”It can still last a long time.”
Beigong Weiyang and Ximen Buhuo were still under the shelter. Their zither and flute were the supreme weapons used to deal with the charging cavalry. As such, they had to stay within the tactical array.
However, the two felt lonely and somewhat ashamed as they watched their fellow disciples helping Second Brother. Beigong spoke, looking at them, ”Do you want to listen to a tune right now?”
Nobody answered him.
Fourth Brother and Sixth Brother were carrying out the final examination of the armor, while Wang Chi was determining Second Brother's pulse so he could prepare medicine for him. Seventh Sister looked slightly more freely as she wiped Second Brother's face with a handkerchief. They were all busy.
Beigong shouted, ”Senior Brother, this tune is vigorous and rousing. It's best for killing people.”
Second Brother stood up and looked at the crowd of enemies on the plains. He said, ”Killing has never been about kindness or generosity. So why do we need music?”
”Do not be bold, do not be generous, do not be unrestrained, just be cold, indifferent and cruel. Only those who truly follow the creed would be able to kill all his enemies. Jun Mo is undoubtedly such a person. I might have underestimated him with my comments yesterday.”
”He is still the proudest man. I just didn't think that he could throw away all his pride or hide it in the deepest part of his armor on the battlefield.”
Liu Bai raised his eyebrows slightly and said, ”He has been using all means to save energy, pursuing to kill the enemy more simply, being stingy to the extreme, being calm and focused, and refusing to let go of the subtle changes in the battle. The calculation is clear to the extreme. He seems more like a shrewd businessman like this.”
The Sword Garret disciples listened to their teacher's teachings in silence.
They had been shocked by the man in front of the Verdant Canyon. Even if they were in the enemy camp, they could not help but admire and look up to him. Even though their teacher would always be the most powerful man to them, they felt a little uncomfortable listening to their teacher describe the man in this way.
However, no one dared to question him.
Liu Bai's voice rang again.
The disciples of the Sword Garret were shocked speechless by what the statement implied.
”I respect an opponent who fights with this attitude very much.”
Liu Bai looked towards the Verdant Canyon and said seriously, ”I even regret. I shouldn't have let him kill so many people in a day and a night, or maybe I should have acted yesterday.”
