Chapter 64: The Difficult Path of Righteousness


    Inside the carriage, a cloaked woman felt the sudden halt of the carriage, followed by a series of cursing ahead.


    This is robbery! Hand over everything you have!


    The woman frowned and turned her head to look ahead, where she saw a bald man and twockeys standing menacingly in the middle of the road.


    Six-star Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level)


    The woman immediately recognized the strength of the three individuals and couldnt help but feel somewhat helpless.


    She had decided to take a carriage ride because she rarely left her sect and wanted to spend some time outside to rx. Yet, she ended up encountering this situation.


    Only these three would dare to rob a cultivator at the Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level) rank. They are the only ones in the entire history.


    As the woman pondered such thoughts, the three men had already reached the back of the carriage, ring fiercely at the woman sitting inside.


    Hey! Im talking to you! Dont pretend to be deaf!


    The woman nced at the bald robber who was shouting, her gaze calm beneath the hood of her cloak. Slowly, her jade-like hand rose.


    Since they had encountered each other, she might as well take care of them. Consider it a good deed to the weaker masses.


    Her fingers gradually emitted a faint green Dou Qi. The Dou Qi split into three forks, aiming at the foreheads of the three robbers. With just a gentle touch, their lives could be taken silently.


    However, as the woman was about to act, a ck figure suddenly smashed into her surroundings, standing between her and the three robbers. The green Dou Qi in the womans hand receded silently, and she furrowed her beautiful eyes, observing the sudden appearance of this object.


    It was a ck giant sword?


    The woman couldnt confirm, as it resembled a sword butcked any sharpness. At best, it could be considered a blunt weapon.


    Who would use such a strange object as a weapon?


    At this moment, a figure swiftly followed the ck giant sword, shing in front of the three robbers. As the woman looked at the youthful figure, her eyes flickered with surprise.


    This is a two-star Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level)?


    The woman raised an eyebrow, filled with disbelief.


    A two-star Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level) couldnt possess such speed. Even a Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level) at the Fighter rank couldnt be this fast!


    Is it a certain body movementbat technique? Or is it a family secret technique?


    While the woman pondered in her heart, the three men, who saw the young figure appear before them, felt their hearts clench, and their faces were filled with shock.


    This young man was none other than Xiao Yan, who had just left!


    Arent you gone?!


    The bald robber trembled as he looked at Xiao Yan, his heart racing, regretting why he took this final job!


    At this moment, Xiao Yans face was as dark as an abyss, and his ck pupils flickered with a crimson light.


    This time,pared to the two waves of robbers he had encountered before, he felt even more disappointed!


    These three had the intention to repent but didnt act on it!


    Damn it Damn it


    Xiao Yan clenched his teeth tightly, and his crimson gaze was filled with hatred.


    They had the intention to repent, so why didnt they follow through?


    Is it so difficult for you to follow the right path? Is it scarier than death? Huh?!!


    The ck aura around Xiao Yan grew stronger, and the killing intent within him began to pour out endlessly!


    (This!)


    Although the woman couldnt see the ck aura, she keenly sensed the dangerous aura emanating from Xiao Yan and the thick, chilling killing intent. She immediately used her Dou Qi to protect the trembling carriage driver in front.


    If this killing intent affected ordinary people, it would be enough to frighten them to the core!


    How could a two-star Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level) have such overwhelming killing intent?!


    Even the woman, who was at the Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level) rank, felt shocked by the killing intent. As for the three robbers, their legs went weak, and they fell to the ground, trembling uncontrobly. The area between their legs became damp, and they stared at Xiao Yan in terror.


    Even the barely functioning minds of the three individuals couldnt process anything. Their teeth chattered, and instinctively, they began to apologize.


    S-sorry we really we really wont dare anymore


    Clearly, at this moment, the three of them genuinely regretted their actions. They were sincerely remorseful.


    But It was toote!!!


    Xiao Yan understood! Hepletely understood!!!


    People like them wouldnt truly repent until they were on the verge of death!


    And once they escaped that deadly situation, their repentance would vanish into thin air!


    These people were inherently opposed to the righteous path! They would never walk the righteous path in their entire lives!!!


    Xiao Yan grasped the Heavy ck Ruler, which was embedded in the ground, with his other hand. Without any hesitation or dy, he swung it horizontally at the heads of the three individuals, smashing their heads into pieces!!!


    Witnessing this scene, Yao Chen, inside the ring, furrowed her brows tightly, revealing deep concern in her eyes.


    To her, this level of cruelty was nothing special. She was ustomed to even more brutal methods.


    The crucial issue here was that this level of cruelty was not Xiao Yans intention. It was an act driven by that ck aura, making him act devoid of reason, resembling the instinct of a beast, just like what happened when he invaded the Jia Lie family in Wutan City.


    But this time, Xiao Yan should be able to thoroughly understand.


    There was a vast difference between following the righteous path and advocating for the righteous path.


    The woman on the carriage tightly furrowed her beautiful eyebrows, watching Xiao Yans figure.


    A two-star Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level) wielding an extraordinarily heavy and peculiar giant sword, delivering a strike that crushed the heads of three six-star Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level) into pieces.


    Moreover, the woman could tell that Xiao Yan hadnt used Dou Qi or any secret techniques. It was solely the power of his physical body!


    If she hadnt seen it with her own eyes, she would never believe it.


    Fundamentally, this was againstmon sense! It should never happen!


    But now, this illogical event was happening right in front of her!


    Who exactly was this young man?!


    Just as the woman was filled with astonishment and doubt, Xiao Yans impulsive mind gradually regained rity. The crimson light in his eyes quietly dissipated, and the ck aura pervading his body receded.


    With his sanity restored, Xiao Yan clenched the Heavy ck Ruler, looking down at the three headless corpses on the ground, a sense of destion filling his heart.


    Why cant I walk the righteous path?


    I know you wont listen to the reason I speak. You believe more in thew of the jungle.


    But I I did it anyway


    I used my strength to destroy everything you possessed right before your eyes. I used my strength to make youpletely unable to resist me, to make you unable to refute what I say.


    Arent these punishments enough?


    Xiao Yan forcefully embedded the Heavy ck Ruler into the ground, looking at the three headless corpses, his eyes brimming with despair for the future.


    You, them, and all those who follow thew of the jungle.


    What do you want me to do before youre willing to abandon the concept of survival of the fittest and walk the righteous path?


    Is it really so difficult for you to walk this righteous path


    Xiao Yan, a sixteen-year-old youth fueled by fervor, wanted to promote his own righteous path.


    After just a week of traveling away from home, he deeply experienced what it meant to be lost.
