Chapter Eighty-Seven: Death to Me

"Heavenly Master! Heavenly Master! Ji Ran shouted a few times at Du Mock Feng's back lying on his side, but Du Mock Feng remained motionless and did not respond.

Ji Ran's heart sank...... No, it's too late.

He angrily rushed towards the horned monster in front of him, trying to dislodge him from Du Mockfeng's side, but the long sword he swung was slightly bent by the other party, and it was directly broken into a few knots.

Ji Ran immediately abandoned his sword and fought with Jia Gu Heng with his bare hands.

Jia Gu Heng looked at Ji Ran with interest, carefully controlling the force in his hand, "...... Who is he? Father? Uncles? What is your name? ”

Ji Ran didn't answer, and after beating Jia Gu Heng more than a dozen steps away, he suddenly retreated and quickly ran to Du Weifeng's side to check his injuries.

Jia Gu Heng squatted down not far away, quietly looking at Ji Ran and Du Weifeng.

"Heavenly Master...... Heavenly Master! ”

When Du Weifeng heard this voice, he opened his eyes with some difficulty.

However, as soon as he saw Ji Ran, he closed his eyes again with a headache.

- Why is this kid back again......

Du Weifeng frowned, "Let's go......"

He was about to say something, but another mouthful of blood rushed up. The strong smell of blood made Ji Ran angry, he gritted his teeth, and got up again to look at Jia Gu Heng.

There is no doubt that the person in front of him is a demon, but there is only a slight demonic aura on his forehead.

Ji Ran suddenly thought of something, his eyes closed slightly, and he spoke with some conviction, "The tragedy on the North Mountain Road in Luoyang City a few days ago was your handiwork?" ”

"Not bad." Jia Gu Heng clenched his left hand into a fist and propped his cheek, "It's me." ”

Seeing the other party's indifferent appearance, the anger in Ji Ran's heart made it difficult for him to control himself, "Beast-"

Jia Gu Heng yawned and dealt with Ji Ran's fists and kicks.

He inadvertently fought back a little hard in the few flaws exposed by the other party, and after a few rounds, Ji Ran's ribs were broken a few times, and the whole person fell to the muddy ground nearby.

Jia Gu Heng sighed, he got up and picked up the steel knife he had dropped earlier, and then slowly walked to Ji Ran's side.

The sharp blade was attached to Ji Ran's neck, and there was immediately a bloody mark there.

"He's your father?" Jia Gu Heng asked.

Ji Ran sneered, "I'm your father—"

Jia Gu Heng stood up the back of the knife and hit Ji Ran in the face, knocking him to the ground.

"Answer my question well," Jia Guheng said softly, "If you answer my heart, I may consider sparing him alive—I ask you again, who is he?" ”

Ji Ran covered his injured chest and abdomen and slowly gritted his teeth.

“…… He is, my mentor. ”

In an instant, Jia Gu Heng felt something pressing against him.

It's so huge, so vast, and so endless, there's no end.

"You're here...... Save him. Jia Gu Heng said in a low voice, as if he was asking a question, and as if he was muttering to himself.

Ji Ran didn't answer, his eyes shot straight at the monster in front of him, "I'm also here to catch you and Fufa-"

"Fufa?" Jia Gu Heng raised an eyebrow, "What kind of method?" ”

Ji Ran glared angrily, "You have injured so many innocent lives on the mountain road - why?" ”

"No, I just don't like it." Jia Gu Heng replied, "I think they are noisy." ”

"Noisy?" Ji Ran forced himself to stand up again, "That's why it's ...... You're — to commit such a cruel deed—"

Jia Gu Heng frowned slightly, and he swept the back of the knife to Ji Ran's ankle again, knocking him to the ground.

"In your world, there is a saying called 'Ku Ding Xie Niu', have you ever heard of it?"

Ji Ran gasped in pain.

Jia Gu Heng read softly, "'The knife of this minister has been used for nineteen years, and thousands of cattle have been solved, and the blade is new to the sword' - this cook, the skill of slaughtering cattle is exquisite, a knife has been used for nineteen years, and the edge of the knife is still as if it has just been sharpened from the whetstone.

"To practice such a skill, how many cows does he have to slaughter in his life? But was he cruel to the art of killing cattle?

"No, he 'stood with a knife, looked around for it, and was full of ambition for it', looking leisurely and content. The whole world praised him—didn't anyone in the world realize the cruelty in it? ”

Jia Gu Heng shook his head, "No, of course you are aware of it. ”

"'A gentleman is to a beast, and he can't bear to see his death; Hearing its voice, I can't bear to eat its flesh. It is a gentleman who cooks far away. You know that a gentleman cooks far away to preserve compassion, but he doesn't eat meat with peace of mind?

"I have seen a cooked fish in Jiangnan to eat alive, pour white wine into the fish when the fish is alive, and then pinch the fish head, quickly scrape the scales, remove the organs, rush to the oil, and then pour the soup, when the fish is served, the body is already cooked, but the fish mouth is still in one and one close, when people are surprised, rush to it.

"I kill people with a single sword, leaving no unnecessary pain for my chosen prey, and I never flaunt any of my knife skills—do you remember how many chickens, ducks, and fish you have eaten until now?"

Ji Ran was stunned for a moment.

Jia Gu Heng smiled, "I remember. I remember every person I have ever killed—if I kill people and they are cruel, then when you kill pigs and sheep, and knock out bones and marrows, will you not be even more cruel?

"Or if your so-called mercy is only applied to your kind, and all other misery that befalls other beings can be avoided—then I am not your kind, and I can deal with you with the same cruelty...... You say, right?

"When he opened his mouth, he reprimanded others for being 'cruel', but he couldn't see the crimes he had committed...... What arrogance. Jia Gu Heng smiled, "Arrogant, and I don't know ......."

He suddenly raised his knife in the air.

"Let's think about the afterlife again—"

In an instant, Ji Ran felt the majestic murderous aura of the person in front of him.

However, the next moment, Du Weifeng and his Jin Fuchen stood in front of Ji Ran.

Whether it was Jia Gu Heng or Ji Ran, they could see that Du Mock Feng was at the end of his strong crossbow at this time.

His golden whisk was against Jia Gu Heng's knife, but his arms and entire upper body were firmly suppressed.

"I said I didn't like you from the beginning...... Du Weifeng sneered and looked at the person in front of him, "Yes, people are arrogant, stupid, and they can't see their own crimes while reprimanding others-

"What is the difference between your arrogance and man's arrogance towards all things, if you put yourself in the position of heaven and look down on all beings, and decide the life and death of all things according to your own preferences at will?"

Jia Gu Heng frowned, and Du Weifeng's words were like a heavy hammer hitting his heart.

Suddenly, a wave of irritability swept over him for no reason, and everything in front of him, whether it was this young man who sacrificed himself to save his master, or this person, as his name suggested, made him lose interest.

Jia Gu Heng mercilessly slammed his blade into Du Mock Wind's Jin Whisk Dust, which shattered in response, and Du Mock Wind was immediately replanted.

He laid his sword around Du's neck, just as it had been on the neck of every man he had slain.

"I'm asking you a question......"

Jia Gu Heng looked at this extremely stubborn opponent with an expressionless face.

"Du Tianshi, are you afraid of death?"

Du mocked dryly twice, he looked directly into Jia Gu Heng's eyes, and every word was loud-

"To be alive is not to die, and to die is to be selfless...... Death to me, what is there to fear? ”
