Year 36 of the Human Calendar - City Airspace - Antonov

(Linjian POV)

One month after the new year, I choose the city closer to the east as our first destination.

“MAINTAIN THE ALTITUDE AT 950 METERS“ Cid

Using the Water Manipulation, the crew covered the ship in the clouds and we infiltrated the city.

[There are no clouds at this altitude, but I don't think anyone will notice from below]

The plan consists of two parts.

First, I take down the lord of the city and after we use...

“!!!“ Linjian

Is that?!

“What is...?“ Mai

I jump off the ship.

“Master hero!“ Mai

My Life Detection found the jade rank cultivator, and he wasn't alone.

[A city lord with his son on a village, this is not good]

I didn't jump in the direction of the lord, I jumped in the direction of the son entering the village.

...

I reach the ground just after he kicks a man to the side.

“Kyyyyyaaaaaaaaa!“ Woman

My eyes recognize the man.

Impossible!.

“Hong!“ Linjian

[Hong?]

He is bleeding in the same place as before.

“I will not let you die again“ Linjian

My old friend is dead, I know that. But he really does look like him.

[Two ribs broken, Liver laceration and dangerous blood loss]

“Book of Appraisal“ Linjian

The projection of the book appears in front of me.

“Detailed appraisal of his Liver cells“ Linjian

“A wandering cultivator?“ Son of cultivator

I start healing him with my transmutation and water from my Graphene bottle.

“Don't you know that commoners have no possible treatment? He is already death“ Son of cultivator

I continue with the treatment.

...

One minute after I used half my MP to heal his organ and I put a patch on the wound to stop the bleeding.

(The bones in his arm are still broken from the kick)

[He is not is perfect condition, but he will live]

This time it will not be the same.

“Shaolan, please Take him to Fei“ Linjian

Shaolan and Usain jumped off the ship after me, and now they are by his side.

“On it“ Shaolan

“Substance Maker Plus Wind Manipulation - Flying cloud“ Shaolan

She uses her skills to create a Yellow cloud under Hong and it levitates with him on top.

“Looks like I'm going to lose the fun“ Shaolan

She flies in the sky using the same type of cloud.

“Master can deal with these numbers by himself, so either way was the same“ Usain

“Usain, two cultivators are guarding the edges of the village...“ Linjian

“Leave it to me“ Usain

He disappeared after saying that.

[He is really fast]

“Those were impressive abilities...“ Son of cultivator

The son of the city lord began to speak to me.

“But, Judging by the color of your clothes, you are trespassing in this town“ Son of cultivator

He is 12 or maybe 13.

“I, Xiao Ze, the son of the almighty Xiao Yi of the Unheeding Taowu City order you to...“

[Are we really doing this?]

(This murderer has no possible redemption. If I weren't here now, he would be killing everything in sight)

[There has to be another way of doing this, maybe prison?]

(He almost killed a man with a smile on his face)

[...]

(There is no amount of time that can cleanse this kind of monster. I am sorry Maria, but this has to happen)

[I just can't feel this as the right thing to do...]

“As this is my family land, You don't other choice“ Xiao Ze

“...“ Linjian

“Join our family and give us your disciples and women, or taste the Heavenly Tribulations of this righteous family“ Xiao Ze

I walk towards him.

“Let me ask you a question first“ Linjian

“This young Master will allow it“ Xiao Ze

“...How many commoners did you kill on your life?“ Linjian

“How many? Do you count how many steps you take every day? There's no way I can remember something as useless as that“ Xiao Ze

“The adults in this place really failed you“ Linjian

“Wha...“ Xiao Ze

[BRONZE RANK GRADE 9 DEFEATED, MIND EXPERIENCE OBTAINED]

My right hand ends his life without pain.

“I hope death can cleanse your soul“ Linjian

As the headless corpse drops on the ground, I feel someone approaching from outside the village.

“How bold“ Jade cultivator

I turn my body in his direction.

“I've certainly seen your talent“ Jade cultivator

A bald man in a dark green robe stand at some meters of me.

“Rejoice wandering one, your show of power has the caught the attention of this venerable Xiao Yi“

[Disgusting]

“...What did you feel after seeing the death of your son?“ Linjian

“Son? that trash could barely be called that“ Xiao Yi

That isn't the reaction of a father.

“That unfilial son didn't have any talent, even after using lots of pills, his cultivation barely raised and he had several peers at his age. His death was the best thing he could offer to the family“ Xiao Yi

[Just... start already, his speech is infuriating]

(Okay)

“You will become my...“ Xiao Yi

My left foot impulses me in his direction.

“!!!“ Xiao Yi

His eyes reacts, but my fist was already in front of his face.

*CRUSH*

My attack broke his nose, burst his left eye and pierces his skull leaving my hand touch the air behind his head for an instant.

The impact makes his body fly in the sky, leaving the remains of his head scattered along the way, until it hits the wooden entrance gate of the village.

*NEIGGGH*

A horse that was nearby flees because of the noise.

“What was that noise!“ Old man

“Is anyone hurt!“ Woman

“Woahh!“ girl

People started to come out of their houses.

[You have already realized, right?]

(Yes)

“PEOPLE OF THS VILLAGE!“ Linjian

“!!!“ Old man

“!!!“ Woman

“!!!“ girl

“THE CITY LORD HAS COME TO KILL YOU ALL!“ Linjian

There is no time to be ambiguous.

“RUN TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VILLAGE, I WILL TAKE CARE OF HIM!“ Linjian

[It seems that taking their heads off isn't enough to stop a jade rank cultivator]

A hand is raised from the pile of broken wood.

“Unheeding Taowu form“ Xiao Yi
