What Do You Call a Benevolent and Reasonable Person in Xianxia? An Impossibility! (BTTH)

Chapter 85: No Regrets in Death

As Mu Li watched Xiao Yan, who had his hand clenched on the Heavy Black Ruler, with a cold and fearless expression, a vague sense of unease crept into Mu Lis heart.

Huh?

Could it be that I was wrong?

Mu Li, who had been extremely confident in his speculation, now felt a growing sense of doubt.

Wait

If its true that I was wrong

If its true that Xiao Yan didnt take any secret medicine or use any secret technique

Doesnt that mean Xiao Yan truly possesses power far surpassing that of a Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level) ?

No No no no no!

Its absolutely impossible!

Mu Li repeatedly denied this absurd thought in his heart.

If he didnt take any secret medicine or use any secret technique, hes just a Three-Star Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) . How could he instantly kill two Second-Grade magical beasts?

It must It must be because he used them!

He definitely used them!

Mu Lis heart continued to affirm his previous speculation. He couldnt believe that a Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) who didnt use any secret medicine or technique could instantly kill Second-Grade magical beasts. He firmly believed that such a ridiculous thing couldnt happen in the world.

So, Mu Li firmly believed that Xiao Yan must have used them! And the enhancement effect was so significant that he couldnt use it a second time within a day!

However, despite this conviction in his heart, Mu Li instinctively stepped back, allowing the excited mercenaries to rush past him towards Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian.

Kill him!

Kill Xiao Yan! Seize the treasures!

Once we get our hands on those treasures, well be rich!

Upon learning the truth about Xiao Yans terrifying strength from their own deputy leader, the mercenaries faces were filled with determination. They rushed towards Xiao Yan, each one eager to be the first to kill him.

The one who charges ahead will be the first to kill Xiao Yan!

The one who kills Xiao Yan first will earn the greatest merit!

The mercenary with the strength of a Five-Star Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) , who was at the forefront, stared at Xiao Yan as he approached, his face filled with excitement.

Soon, Ill become a prominent figure by the deputy leaders side

Splurt!

A blur of figure accompanied by a gust of wind flashed by, and the sound of something shattering suddenly echoed in the cave.

The mercenaries who were charging towards Xiao Yan came to an abrupt halt, and Mu Li, who was standing at the back, became extremely frightened as he looked at the headless corpse that had been thrown against the wall in front of Xiao Yan. The red and white substances were smeared on the wall, creating a gruesome tableau.

Xiao Yans Heavy Black Ruler was also stained with the same crimson and pale colors.

Although the body was now without a head, everyone knew.

That was the mercenary who had charged at the front, the one with the strength of a Five-Star Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) .

Moments ago, he was laughing maniacally, moments ago, he was filled with excitement.

But now, he was completely decapitated.

Fear!

An extreme fear instantly surged in the hearts of everyone present!

The previous excitement and bravery were long gone, replaced by a vice-like grip on their hearts. They stared blankly at Xiao Yan, who held the Heavy Black Ruler.

But while they were stunned, Xiao Yan was not.

He took a step forward and swung the Heavy Black Ruler once again.

Splurt!

The same sound echoed, and another cruel tableau appeared on the opposite wall.

The only difference was that this time, the headless corpse stuck to the wall was a Six-Star Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) .

In an instant, everyone was jolted awake!

A demon!

This man! Hes a demon!

Run away!

Someone cried out in a piercing voice, and it seemed to serve as a signal for all the mercenaries. They scrambled to flee from the cave, each one trying to outpace the others.

How could this be?!

A Three-Star Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) single-handedly killed a Five-Star Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) and a Six-Star Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) in one strike!

Do you realize that those two were the highest-ranked individuals in this team apart from Mu Li?!

What a joke!

Mu Li, we fell for your tricks!

Watching the mercenaries turning their bodies to run away, recalling their drastic change in attitude, Xiao Yans face grew even darker.

If the deaths of those two didnt make them feel fear, then Xiao Yan could still face them head-on.

At least they could follow through with their wickedness until the end.

If that were the case, then perhaps they felt that their wicked actions are justified, that they have a real and solid reason for why they are doing such wicked things, like a dying family member who is in need of an expensive medicine to cure.

But now, Xiao Yan was utterly disappointed in these people!

They had chosen this path but lacked the courage to see it through to the end.

They sowed the seeds of their actions but didnt have the guts to face the consequences.

These people! They are not worth pitying in death!

Xiao Yans figure turned into a blur as he pursued the fleeing mercenaries, wielding the Heavy Black Ruler and radiating a surging killing intent in his eyes.

Not a single one will be spared!

As the headless corpses continued to appear on the walls and the smell of blood grew stronger, the expression on the face of Xiao Yixian became filled with complexity.

As a human being, there was an innate disgust towards the bloody scene and a sense of satisfaction at the tragic fate that befell those mercenaries. There was also a mixture of fear and astonishment towards Xiao Yans cruelty.

After spending a day together, Xiao Yan had formed a rough image in Xiao Yixians mind. His astonishing strength, overly pure-heartedness, and a character so upright that it could be infuriating.

However, Xiao Yixian could never have imagined that when Xiao Yan resorted to violence, he would be so ruthless and merciless. It was completely contradictory to his earlier tolerance, and even witnessing it firsthand, she found it hard to believe that it was the same person performing such acts.

Nevertheless, Xiao Yixian didnt develop any aversion towards Xiao Yan because she had witnessed everything that had transpired just moments ago. Xiao Yan had genuinely tried to avoid using force to resolve the conflict and was even willing to give up the only thing he had obtained from the secret chamber. Unfortunately, Mu Lis self-righteousness, despicable nature, and greed rendered all of Xiao Yans efforts futile.

In regards to Mu Li, Xiao Yixian had only four words to say: He brought it upon himself.

Then she looked at Xiao Yans figure, revealing a hint of a different emotion in her eyes.

Despite possessing such power, despite being able to resort to absolute force right from the beginning, Xiao Yan chose not to. Instead, he did his best to persuade those greedy mercenaries with reason. It seemed that in Xiao Yans heart, power was merely a means of self-preservation and not a weapon to assert dominance.

When Xiao Yan resorted to violence, it meant that he had no intention of negotiating any further with the other party.

However, compared to that, the actions Xiao Yan had taken in the secret chamber earlier left Xiao Yixian more puzzled. She had never encountered anyone as upright as Boss Yao, who had adopted her, in her life. He had lost too much that rightfully belonged to him due to his unwavering honesty, and Xiao Yixian had often clashed with him because of it.

She didnt dislike Boss Yao and even respected him for adopting her and treating her like his own daughter. But she had no desire to become as upright as Boss Yao.

Kindness was within Xiao Yixians heart, and it served as her bottom line in being a good person. However, when it came to honesty, she was determined to avoid it. She had no intention of losing what rightfully belonged to her for the sake of so-called righteousness. In her opinion, it was only natural to seek the greatest benefit for oneself without compromising kindness.

However, today, Xiao Yixian had witnessed a young man who was about the same age as her but many times more honest than Boss Yao.

Deep down, Xiao Yixian firmly believed that under the same circumstances, only he could casually and without hesitation give up all the treasures in the secret chamber. It was an act of unbelievable and foolish honesty.

Yet, this absurd thought had emerged in Xiao Yixians heart at this moment: If everyone in the world could be as honest as him, it would be wonderful
