Chapter 186 Burden
Guo Xiayu and the others immediately returned to the battle formation after winning the blow, and at the same time, several other masters of the Sword Casting Sect also flew away from the battle formation and attacked Ye Ye in turn, and their strength increased to varying degrees.
"Looks like I really underestimated you before, but that's the end of it!"
After Ye Ye once again resisted the joint attack of several masters of the Sword Casting Sect, he finally understood the power of the Tianhe Battle Array. But despite the surprise on his face, he still didn't see them as a threat in his heart.
When Guo Xiayu returned to the battle formation to recuperate, he flew towards Ye Ye again, and launched a fierce attack on Ye Ye with several other masters of the Sword Casting Sect, Ye Ye finally used all his strength and kicked everyone hard at a speed that they couldn't react to.
Bang bang!
Several masters immediately screamed and smashed to the ground, completely disrupting the formation of the Tianhe Battle Formation, not to mention, they were even taken advantage of by Ye Ye to kill into the crowd, blood splashed everywhere for a while, and the screams and begging for mercy spread throughout the entire mountain village.
When the villagers of Huaxi Village in the distance saw this, their faces all showed great joy. Under their witness, Ye Ye quickly killed all the disciples of the Sword Casting Sect, leaving only the strongest Guo Xiayu still struggling to support.
Guo Xiayu saw that the Sword Casting Gate could not defeat Ye Ye with all his might, and his eyes were completely desperate. When the soft armor on his body was also damaged under Ye Ye's attack, Guo Xiayu's will finally collapsed, and he quickly knelt down and begged Ye Ye for mercy: "Spare my life! I was forced to do this, and Zhenxianmen controlled my wife and children." If I don't do what the True Virtuous Sect commands, my wife and children will die!"
Ye Ye stopped, looked at Guo Xiayu coldly, and said without a trace of emotion: "Even if what you say is true, you can't wash away your sins." Your family's life is your life, but other people's lives are not?"
Seeing that Guo Xiayu wanted to exonerate himself, the villagers of Huaxi Village hurriedly came to Ye Ye's side, pointing at Guo Xiayu and angrily denouncing him for his shamelessness.
"My lord, don't talk nonsense with him, just kill him!"
"Yes, what right does such a person have to beg for mercy?"
"Only when he dies can the villagers who were killed in Huaxi Village rest in peace!"
Su Jie also stood behind Ye Ye, looking at Guo Xiayu who was kneeling in front of Ye Ye with hatred in his eyes. Compared with other villagers, Su Jie behaved more restrained, but it could be seen from his clenched fists that he was also extremely shameless in Guo Xiayu's sophistry.
"Okay, let's stop talking. The slaughter of innocent villagers in the Sword Casting Gate is an ironclad fact, and everyone in the Sword Casting Gate will die here today, so it should be regarded as justice for Huaxi Village!"
Ye Ye didn't want to continue wasting time, and after turning his head and saying a word to the villagers, he planned to directly kill Guo Xiayu and completely destroy the Sword Casting Gate.
When he was on the verge of death, Guo Xiayu suddenly burst out laughing, and said to Ye Ye with hatred and mockery in his eyes: "Justice? You are also worthy of justice? The villagers who died in this village are innocent, but should my family die? You have given these villagers justice, who will give my family justice?"
Ye Ye frowned slightly, and his eyes couldn't help showing hesitation. Even the villagers, who were excited just now, gradually fell silent at this time.
Seeing this, Guo Xiayu couldn't help but feel a little lucky in his heart, and continued in an even more sad tone: "Originally, our Sword Casting Sect surrendered to the True Xian Sect, and we just wanted to protect ourselves in the troubled times. If it weren't for the sudden arrival of the masters of the True Virtuous Sect, who took away all my wives and children, and threatened the Sword Forging Sect to die for them, how could I have done such hurtful things? Do you think my conscience is good, all I did was to save my wife and children!"
His voice was bitter, and he used the bitter meat trick to the extreme, which made some villagers in Huaxi Village feel soft-hearted. Especially those villagers who have lost their families, the eyes that look at Guo Xiayu at this time are no longer so hateful.
Ye Ye struggled, as if he didn't know what to do. Originally, he thought that this was just a simple punishment of evil and promotion of good, but now it has become a difficult choice.
If Ye Ye let Guo Xiayu go, then not only the villagers who were killed in Huaxi Village would die in vain, but the other innocent civilians who were slaughtered by the Sword Casting Gate would also be blind. But if he kills Guo Xiayu now, Zhenxianmen may immediately execute Guo Xiayu's family after learning of the failure of the Sword Casting Gate, so that there will only be more innocent resentful spirits.
Although Guo Xiayu's crime is extremely heinous, whether Ye Ye has the qualifications to execute him is also debatable. If Ye Ye's family was killed by the Sword Casting Gate, it would be natural for him to kill Guo Xiayu to take revenge, even if Guo Xiayu had his own hardships, he didn't need to blame himself. But at this time, Ye Ye did not have enough reasons to support him to do so, and he was only an outsider in this incident, so it was difficult to make up his mind in a short time.
And Guo Xiayu is also quite smart, knowing that he can't fight back desperately and can't be Ye Ye's opponent, so he has been silently waiting for Ye Ye's choice, his face is full of apprehension.
Just when everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Ye and Guo Xiayu, Su Jie, who was still standing behind Ye Ye just now, suddenly rushed out, grabbed a long sword picked up from the ground and stabbed Guo Xiayu's heart.
Burst!
Because Guo Xiayu didn't expect a child to suddenly attack him, he didn't have time to react before he was pierced through the heart by Su Jie's sword, and his vitality was completely cut off.
"You!"
Guo Xiayu looked at Su Jie in disbelief, and then at Ye Ye, with an extremely unwilling look flashing in his eyes. But he ended up in a pool of blood, closing his eyes forever.
"Su Jie!"
Ye Ye was also shocked, he really couldn't imagine that such a decisive sword came from the hand of a child. However, he didn't blame Su Jie, after all, his parents died because of the sword casting, and it was reasonable for Su Jie to kill Guo Xiayu to avenge his parents. As for whether Guo Xiayu's family will be implicated because of this, it is not something that a child should consider.
However, Su Jie, who was filled with hatred in Ye Ye's eyes, watched Guo Xiayu fall to the ground and die, but his face was not only happy and relieved, but also with a trace of determination beyond Ye Ye's imagination.
"If your family is executed by the True Virtuous Sect because of this, I will avenge them!
Su Jie's tone was extremely firm, and the determination in his eyes was intimidating. But his consciousness at this time was higher than anyone present, including Ye Ye who was standing beside him, and everyone looked at Su Jie with surprise and groan.
Ye Ye was like being struck by lightning, and there seemed to be a flame in his chest that was about to erupt. He looked at Su Jie, who was about to turn away, and asked Su Jie in an almost consultative tone: "Do you know that the True Virtuous Sect is an enemy dozens of times stronger than the Sword Forging Sect? Why do you take the initiative to carry another heavier burden when you could have been freed from hatred and responsibility just now?"
Su Jie was stunned for a moment, and finally had a trace of childishness on his face, as if he didn't expect Ye Ye to suddenly ask himself this question. But in the blink of an eye, he recalled his true thoughts at that moment just now, and replied to Ye Ye in a calm tone: "If I escaped, I wouldn't have the courage to stab that sword just now! No matter how difficult the path I chose, some things always need someone to do!"
Rumble!
Ye Ye's mind suddenly went blank, and he felt an unprecedented relaxation. Although he knew that this kind of relaxation was extremely costly, he couldn't help but smile, and his eyes became clear.
"At a young age, I have a lot of thoughts. But I'm not going to give you a chance to carry the weight forward, because I'm not going to let his family die because of it!"
Ye Ye glanced at Guo Xiayu's corpse on the ground, then turned to look in the direction of Yushan Academy, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
Su Jie seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and looked up at Ye Ye and asked suspiciously, "Uncle, are you going to Zhenxianmen to rescue his family?"
"No, I want to completely erase the Seven Gentlemen of Canglang from this world!"
Ye Ye touched Su Jie's head and chuckled, his eyes involuntarily glanced in the direction where Su Lianyu had gone. Now he finally understood why when Su Lianyu left, he would be a little inexplicably disappointed in himself. If he lacks a man's real responsibility, even if he can keep Su Lianyu's people, he can't keep her heart.
Now that the Yiren are gone, even if Ye Ye regrets it, he can only bury his thoughts deep in his heart. He believed that if there was fate, the answer Su Lianyu was looking for was the same as what he thought at this time, and the two would meet again one day.
"Uncle, I believe in you!"
When Su Jie saw Ye Ye's expression, a cheerful smile finally appeared on his face, and a force seemed to emerge in his heart, and the future direction became clearer.
Without waiting for him to continue to ask Ye Ye about his next plan, Ye Ye turned around and walked towards the villagers next to him, and asked the villagers seriously: "Now that the threat of the Sword Casting Gate has been removed, the True Xian Sect will no longer have a chance to target you, you can choose to stay." But in the troubled times, there are many dangers, I still suggest that you return to Lingcheng with me, please think about it seriously!"
Seeing this, Su Jie immediately persuaded the villagers: "Uncle is right! Although the people of the Sword Casting Gate have been punished, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a second Sword Casting Gate coming to our Huaxi Village in the future, so let's leave here with our uncle." ”
Shen Lao and the other villagers looked at each other, and their faces showed a look of hesitation and struggle.
Although they were extremely nostalgic for their homeland, the arrival of Guo Xiayu and the others once again awakened the fear of Huaxi Village being slaughtered by the Sword Casting Gate. Even if Ye Ye easily killed the enemy and didn't let them suffer any damage, the broken corpses and stumps everywhere still made their scalps tingle, and the coolness from the bottom of their hearts invaded.
So after a period of discussion, the villagers still decided to leave with Ye Ye.
When all of them packed up their things and came to Ye Ye to gather, Ye Ye did not lead everyone to set off towards the outside of the village, but walked to the open space in the middle of the village alone, took out a quaint wrench from his arms and threw it out directly.
