C141 The Cruelty of Truth
Although the summer breeze was warm, it did not feel pleasant at all. This was because it only brought moisture and heat, but did not carry the heat of the human body.
At this moment on the battle arena, no one felt warm. Instead, they felt a slight cool breeze. Although it was small, it was sufficient to remove the scorching heat brought by the summer heat.
Murong Kuanglong was angry, in front of his sister, his brother-in-law and his father, he was actually in such a sorry state, why was he not angry?
As for the woman, she was also unwilling to be outdone. In this battle, she could only do her best to defeat her opponent, whether she won or not.
The second round was about to begin.
Because he had held back just now, Murong Kuanglong had lost a lot of face. This time, he chose to strike first to gain the upper hand.
Waving the huge blade, he jumped up and hacked at the woman. This time, he did not use any of his techniques. Instead, he poured his inner strength into the blade and mercilessly hacked down. Because the blade was infused with Zhen Qi, an inch long blade light was produced. Just by relying on the pressure produced by the blow, one could see that its power was absolutely amazing. If that woman still wanted to use a forceful defense, she would at least be severely injured.
The woman also felt the pressure of the blade. She did not dare to hesitate and jumped back. However, retreating did not mean that she did not attack. With a shake of her wrist, the bell on the ribbon struck Murong Kuanglong's face directly like a viper.
At this time, Murong Kuanglong only had two options, one was to parry the attack with his blade, but the force of the blade was already used, if he wanted to retrieve it rashly, he might not even be able to hurt the enemy, he would probably be injured first. The second was to use a thousand jin pendant type cultivation technique to allow his body to hit the ground and avoid the attack of the enemy, but the moment he landed, he would be attacked.
Murong Kuanglong's mind raced, he chose to use the second method, and immediately dropped down, instead of retracting the force of the blade, he increased his strength, and at the moment he landed, the blade qi also struck the ground, causing a strong burst of Qi.
Due to the explosion of air, the woman, who had originally wanted to take the opportunity to attack, was suddenly sent flying by the air waves. The Situ Family guards tried their best to resist, and the farmers that came to rob them were also knocked onto the ground, unable to stand up.
However, no one noticed that Gongsun Zaitian was not affected in the slightest. Even the corners of his clothes had not been blown by the wind.
After the explosion, Murong Kuanglong gasped for breath, staring straight at the lady who had just crawled up. However, when he looked at her face again, he found that the silk scarf that covered her face was no longer there. Instead, there was a deep scar on her elegant face.
It could be seen that this woman was actually an extremely beautiful person, and her appearance was probably only second to Murong Fenghuang's. However, that deep scar destroyed everything, and gave off a feeling as if it was a waste of heaven's treasure.
"You ?" The lady also noticed that the handkerchief on her face had disappeared, and immediately looked at Murong Kuanglong in shock and fury, as if she was about to eat him up.
"This, I didn't mean to, do we still want to fight? You are not a match for them! " Murong Kuanglong said, he no longer had the mood to continue fighting.
"We'll only know if we fight!" The woman stubbornly said. It seemed that the disappearance of the silk scarf on her face was a blow to her, but at the same time, it also made her angry.
This time, it was not Murong Kuanglong's turn to defend himself, as the bell once again rang, but following that was a cold light dripping onto the sword, aiming straight at Murong Kuanglong's throat.
"Ding!" There was a crisp sound of metal colliding.
Murong Kuanglong raised his blade to block, then raised it and kicked towards the lady's abdomen. The lady's body was extremely nimble, with a twist of her body, she dodged Murong Kuanglong's kick. But before Murong Kuanglong could change his move, she saw the bell bringing along a ribbon to sweep towards her neck.
Without enough time to attack, Murong Kuanglong took the chance to lean backwards and grab the bell on the ribbon with his free hand. However, before Murong Kuanglong could even touch the bell, it retracted back as if it had a mind of its own.
Just when Murong Kuanglong was surprised, he saw the poisonous snake spitting out its tongue and thrusting towards Murong Kuanglong.
"This woman is quite vicious!" Seeing this scene, Gongsun Ze Tian couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
However, Murong Kuanglong was not at ease, he pushed off the ground with his feet, and his entire body moved backwards, quickly opening up a gap between the two.
Murong Kuanglong was furious again. Originally, when he saw that she was a woman that wanted to show mercy, he had made himself look bad. Just as he was about to counterattack, he accidentally offended his. No matter how good his temper was, he would still go berserk, furthermore, Murong Kuanglong's temper was not any better.
"Slashing Mountain and River!" Just as his body stabilized, Murong Kuanglong swung out at a slanted angle, aiming straight at the woman who was attacking him.
Because it was an attack out of anger, Murong Kuanglong did not use any control over it. On the contrary, because he was using his inner strength wantonly, he increased the attack power by a large amount, and the tip of the blade became even sharper. On the other hand, the woman had already advanced and had no way of dodging. The only thing she could do was forcefully receive this move.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A blood-curdling screech rang out.
"Pfft!" It was soon followed by the sound of blood spraying out.
The woman spat out blood and screamed in the air. His body was sent flying backwards by a powerful force.
"Putong!" The woman landed on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Pu!" Once again, the woman couldn't suppress the stifling feeling in her chest and spat out another mouthful of blood.
However, before he could finish his words, a loud shout could be heard, "The bandit leader has been defeated. Those who dare to attack officials of the imperial court without permission will be executed along with your families and families."
"Ah... Spare us, we don't dare! "Don't hurt our family. Lord, please forgive our family. This has nothing to do with them!" The group of professional robbing teams were immediately scared silly by this scene. Hearing that they were implicating their families, the situation immediately became chaotic. The farmers dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy, but strangely, they were not doing so for themselves. Instead, they were doing it for their families.
All of a sudden, these farmers started begging for mercy at the same time, causing everyone in Situ Family to be dumbstruck. Just like that, an aggressive robbery team had been disintegrated.
, who received Gongsun Zaitian's order just now, took advantage of the battle to quietly lead his guards around the robber's back. When he saw the girl vomit blood and fall to the ground, he launched an attack.
All of this had been arranged by Gongsun Zaitian, including the details and the shouting speech.
At this time, the Guard Commander was in a daze, this young master who was only five years old, was too mystical, could this be the legendary prediction of an enemy? Everything was expected before it happened.
"Shut up and listen to me!" Gongsun Ztian took two steps forward and swept his eyes across the crowd. Although his voice was childish, no one dared to disobey him.
After all, everything that had just happened showed that this little boy was not ordinary and not simple at all.
"I will not take your lives, and I will not take your lives for your family. I know why you are acting like this, and I know why she is so determined to obtain all of our resources, even if it means starting a war at all costs. " Gongsun Ztian looked at the woman lying on the ground and said.
Then, Gongsun Ztian continued to say, "The reason is very simple, because you did not want to return alive after coming here. If I'm not wrong, there are still many people in your family waiting for you to bring back food. You know that robbing the supplies of merchants and officials is not guaranteed to allow you to survive. If you do this, you might be able to get enough food for your families. Did I say anything wrong? "
Gongsun Ze Tian's words did not get any response, because at this moment, they all started crying, that kind of sorrow came from the bottom of their hearts, even the people from Situ Family could not help but cry after seeing this scene.
"I know that your family may have some children waiting to be fed, some old people who even had difficulty walking, and looking at your faces, I'm afraid that you have been hungry for quite a few days, right? I think that when you went out to look for food, you did not tell your family that you would not go back, but that you wanted them to live a little longer. I think that you did not tell your family that you would not go back, but that you wanted them to live a little longer, but have you ever thought about how serious the trauma that your death would bring to your parents, wives, and children would be? Can they eat it? " At this moment, Gongsun Ze Tian's mood was extremely heavy. His tone of voice also unconsciously increased. If it increased by another level, he would want to wake them up with a scolding, but he also could not bear to do so. They were also pitiful people.
The woman lying on the ground had deep tears on her face. She thought back to the scene before the robbery.
"Witch, have pity on our children. They are only a few years old, they shouldn't have starved to death. We can tolerate it for a few days, but can the children bear it?"
"That's right, female hero, I'm already this old, so I don't want to burden the children. As long as I can get food, I'd rather die than eat anything else."
"Witch, I know you don't want to take us with you, but what can we do if we stay behind? If we die, we can let our children and wives live for a few more days!"
As her thoughts raced, the woman thought back to the scene when she left the village.
"The child's father, you must pay attention to your safety. It doesn't matter if you don't get anything to eat, but you must live on!"
"Daddy, I'm hungry! Daddy, I want to eat some cakes!"
"Son, I'm too old to move. I don't have many days left to live, don't worry about me, this old man!"
Thinking of this scene, the woman felt so much heartache that she wanted to cry. A good child, with a yellow face and a thin body, was already starving to death; a baby crying baby didn't even have the strength to cry. It pecked at its mother's shriveled breasts, wanting to extract even a single drop of milk.
Starved people were everywhere, and in order to survive for another day, they had even started eating clothes and bark, and the grass had already disappeared. He had reached the point where he had nothing to eat. Perhaps adults can eat bark and chew mud, but can children eat these?
Looking back at those corrupt officials, their stomachs were full of fat, and they couldn't even offer a single mouthful of food. Should they hate the injustice of the world, or should they hate themselves for giving birth to the wrong child?
"Do you know what 'Zhu Men smelly wine and meat and has frozen to death on the road'?" Gongsun Ztian walked step by step to the front of the woman in white. He spoke to her in a serious manner, but his tone was serious.
"En!" The girl nodded and responded with a soft 'Mm'.
"Ahh, you still don't understand. What I want to tell you is that this is the world, and in this world, there is no right or wrong, no right or wrong. There is only life and death. You can yell at the heavens that the world is unfair, but you will definitely not get any response from the heavens, because everyone's path in life is already set, and it's just that you don't know. " As if he was teaching his students, Gongsun Ze Tian spoke once again.
"Then no one can change this injustice?" The woman asked.
"Maybe, maybe not!" Gongsun Ztian answered.
"How?" The white-clothed woman asked, puzzled.
"Think about it yourself slowly!" Gongsun Ztian turned around and left.
"That's right, we will be camping here tonight. Come look for me!" Gongsun Ztian had only taken a few steps when he turned around and said to the girl.
