Chapter 97: Chapter 78: Old Man Killer_1

Qi Yuan looked on.

In the moving image, he could see a burly man who reeked of alcohol, violently punching and kicking an old man. Finally, the burly man snatched some shards of silver from the old man’s arms, kicked him once more, and then left.

Qi Yuan watched indifferently.

"Look again, young friend." The elderly man waved his hand, and the image changed.

This time, the burly man who had beaten the old man was now showing extreme filial piety in front of him - being very careful, feeding him, serving tea, cleaning up after him, and wiping his body.

"Precisely because we promulgated the principle of filial piety, people around the world began to act in a more filial manner. So, when we come here, we’re here to save the world."

Upon hearing these words, Qi Yuan gave a cool laugh: "What a wonderful show of filial piety."

The old man heard this and was not in a hurry. He said, "Young friend, do you know? If you abolish this principle of filial piety, the man in the image will kill his own father on that very day.

All this responsibility will fall on you."

Qi Yuan looked at the old man, his face full of doubt, "Are you the one with a problem in your head, or is it me?

An extraterrestrial demon is trying to morally kidnap me?"

"Alas." The old man sighed, revealing a helpless look, "Young friend, we don’t want to be your enemy.

But what I’ve said is all true.

We’re really here to save the world."

Qi Yuan didn’t say anything, but he was on guard.

Seeing this, the old man continued:

"When we fish for living beings, devour their flesh and blood, it’s truly out of desperation.

Because when our time comes, we will turn into terrifying demons.

Demons without any rationality, killing any living creature they see.

The power of a demon will reach the Five Realms, causing disasters for all living beings.

Every time a demon appears, it will plunge the world into oblivion. No one can stop it.

That’s why we have no choice but to be cruel, fishing in the human world, devouring flesh and blood, in order to extend our lives and decrease the amount of disasters that befall the living."

The old man’s face revealed a compassionate look, it seemed, he truly was thinking of the wellbeing of the world.

"After we arrived in this world, we were afraid of causing disaster here too.

That’s why we came to this desolate place.

One day here equals ten years in the outside world.

The talents and strong warriors that appear in the outside world every ten years are enough to allow us to extend our lives.

This way, the demons won’t really appear.

I have my difficulties in doing so.

Otherwise, why would we stay in this desolate place instead of going directly into the human world?"

The old man patiently advised.

What he said seemed reasonable.

Once their lifespan ended, they would turn into demons.

And the power of a demon sounded even stronger than their own.

If one or two were to appear in the world, it would probably plunge the human world into a real catastrophe.

Qi Yuan stared into the old man’s eyes, then suddenly said, addressing the essence of the issue: "Since after you finish your lifespan, you’ll turn into demons,

Then how did your previous world deal with demons? Or how did they prevent demons from appearing?"

As expected, the old man’s gaze froze at these words, revealing a look of pain.

Remembering the principle of filial piety and the old man’s words, Qi Yuan suddenly understood. He looked at the old man, slowly said word by word: "Finishing your lifespan would turn you into a demon, doesn’t that mean...

"If you don’t finish your lifespan, no demon will appear!"

With Qi Yuan’s words, the old man’s face was full of painful memories.

After a long while, he lifted his head, looking at Qi Yuan, his countenance agitated.

"Do you know? I started fighting for my family when I was seventeen, I shed blood for my family, I won seventeen secret silver mines for my family, and even faced a sieging attack from enemies of the same rank, sustaining over seven hundred injuries.

But why, why, when I was old and only had a few years left, were they discussing how to kill me.

They even invited people from the Demon Exterminating Assembly.

I’m not dead yet, what do they want to do?"

The old man was nearly hysterical.

"They are my beloved children, I raised them with my own hands.

And what did they want to do?

I just wanted to live out my life naturally, was that so wrong?

If it was you, would you accept such a fate?"

Looking at Qi Yuan, he was incredibly excited.

"What a boring setup." Qi Yuan looked at the old man, speaking slowly, "You’re just a villain, the big boss I should slaughter. I’m not interested in what hardships and injustice you’ve suffered.

Even if you turned into a pitiful beauty, crying and complaining about your tortured and helpless life, I still wouldn’t overflow with empathy, nor would I be interested.

The thing I’m most interested in is using my great sword to chop off your dog head!"

The big boss is merely that. The best way is to just kill him directly.

The old man’s face revealed a gloomy look: "Are you sure you want to be our enemy? Are you ready for the consequences?"

The old man did not want to fight Qi Yuan.

Because all of them were in a bad state.

Fighting would severely deplete their lifespan.

And Qi Yuan’s strength far surpassed those of the heavenly gods.

"It’s not that I want to become your enemy. It’s fate that I will defeat you bosses!

I am the heroic youth who slays the Evil Dragon!"

Upon finishing, Qi Yuan directly took action!

"You’re seeking death!" The old man became furious.

"Huh, you’re all old farts. I’m young and vigorous, brimming with energy!" Qi Yuan had already found the weak point of these extraterrestrial demons.

Their lifespan was short.

And now, all the Black Robed Guards were slain.

All Qi Yuan had to do was block them here, preventing them from devouring the flesh and blood of human beings.
