Chapter 953 - 953 320 Barrier of the Strong_4

Chapter 953: Chapter 320: Barrier of the Strong_4 Chapter 953: Chapter 320: Barrier of the Strong_4 “You’ve become a person whom no one is too insignificant to kill.”

Feng Yin listened quietly.

Although he dared not come out, he understood in his heart.

Every word spoken by the old man was golden and virtuous.

“You are now at the Cloud Top level, so naturally, barriers for the strong will also arise.”

“But what I want to tell you is…”

The old man murmured to himself, “You protected the people of the world, but what can the people of the world do for you?”

Feng Yin was stunned.

“You protected the common people and left without a trace. So, these ordinary people, they don’t even know your name. Even if they did know your name, what could they repay you with?”

“You resisted the beast tide, you stood against the demons, you saved the continent; what then do you hope the continent will do for you?”

“You are a powerful being, you could blow away hundreds or thousands of villagers with a single breath, so what can these people do for you? How much benefit can you get from them?”

“Thus, the deeds of the powerful are solely for peace of mind, for the sake of righteousness. They are not for seeking recompense.”

“So, after you’ve done what you should do, what does it matter how they behave?”

“You are a powerful being. You never intended to gain anything from them, yet the higher you ascend, the more grievances you seem to earn from them. Is this really what you want?”

The old man said softly, “Perhaps some will say, ‘A general who serves his country and protects his people, killing enemies on the battlefield, only for his family to be bullied at home, even a hero gets disheartened.”

“Such circumstances certainly exist and should indeed be dealt with, should be killed; otherwise, what’s the use of having so many powerful beings? Isn’t it to deal with these scum?”

“Isn’t that the reasoning?”

“If a hero is shedding blood in battle, while his descendants and family at home lord over others, oppressing the good people… What then? Surely such cases do not exist? They do! The ordinary people are even more helpless to resist in such cases, because if the law gets involved, it might complicate things due to personal feelings and saving face. After all, the hero is still out there fighting enemies… So, at such times, it is also necessary for the powerful to step in and suppress.”

“To kill them, is that fair to the hero? To not kill them, is that fair to the people they abuse?”

“What makes a powerful being? Only a strong heart makes one truly powerful.”

The old man said, “You killed Xu Chengyun, and you eradicated his line with a ruthless hand.”

He paused, then said, “But I like it. If I were to do it, I’m afraid I would have left a few survivors. But you are even more decisive than I am.”

He repeated himself, “Countless people will curse you for killing even children and elderly. But I like it!”

“So remember this.”

“You didn’t do these things for their repayment. Nor did you do them for their praise.”

“Because when you did these things, life and death were already beyond consideration.”

Their well-being is none of your concern. If they become bad people, it is also none of your concern. If they curse you without understanding the truth, it is none of your concern. Or perhaps one day they are incited to kill you, then you just have to kill them. Still with a clear conscience.”

“To you, they have no worth or worthlessness, no betrayal or loyalty.”

“You just have to do your own things.”

“If you see through everything… hah, let’s say, from the moment one is born, one knows that death is inevitable, then why still live? The logic is actually the same.”

Having said this, the old man rose gently, hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the starry sky.

The night breeze came, and his hair flew in the wind.

“But you cannot always remain anonymous, if your name is not right, then your path will not be smooth. Once you become stronger, you should let the world know your name. Emerge with dignity, your own strength blocking all the storms of your life. That is the true way!”

He said softly, “May you, amidst the turmoil of the world, be like a dragon that overturns rivers and seas, like a tiger that commands the mountains and forests, like an eagle that grapples with the vast skies, like a person who stands upright between heaven and earth.”

With a soft smile, “Young friend, may we meet again.”

His body moved slowly, and as it did, it dispersed like smoke and clouds.

Without a trace.

[It’s been a busy month, with the least number of updates… sigh. But the sustained-release tablet of Diclofenac Sodium really works. About fifteen minutes after taking it, my wrist stopped hurting, a pity that I can’t take more.]”
