Cangming pulled out the sword of the Nine Heavenly Emperors, and the blood spilled all over the ground, and the hunter's eyes widened, and he fell to the ground unwillingly.

Everyone's eyes suddenly fell into a trance, and when their eyes were clear again, they had already returned to the place where they came, and Si Lao was standing in front of them.

Seeing everyone's faces, Si Lao grinned, "How do you feel?"

The teenagers were silent, and Si Lao slowly walked in front of Xia Qi, "Boy, do you see clearly? This is human nature." ”

"If you don't kill him, he will still kill you, in order to live. ”

Xia Qi replied emptily: "Why, I have obviously protected him, but if we don't kill him, he won't be like that, right?"

Si Lao nodded, "Yes, if you don't kill him, things won't be like this." ”

Xia Qi hung his head weakly.

Si Lao continued: "This mission, whether you complete it or not, it doesn't matter, because what I want to see is your choice. ”

Si Lao pointed at Xia Qi, "Only this kid stood up to refute the old man, and he didn't go against his own heart, and you, it's really good to obey the task, but what I see from you is indifference and ruthlessness to life." ”

"Maybe that's what your heart is, but you're just at the right level, and you're just ignoring life to such an extent? ”

Cangming and the others were silent, what Si Lao said was very right, in fact, several of them have indeed been very indifferent to life, which is very bad, but if you had that experience when you were a child, or you would have been like this.

"The reason why the result of this mission is indifferent, because the old man just wants to see your character and heart, and now, he has a little understanding. ”

Si Lao said, and pointed at Xia Qi again, "Boy, you are very good, I hope you can keep it up, but don't be stupid to protect people who have nothing to do with you, he is likely to stab you in the back." ”

Si Lao looked at Cangming and the others again, "As for you, you haven't done anything wrong, just follow the old man's task, but this time what the old man wants to tell you is that you can listen to the old man's words as an elder, but you can also refute it, don't just obey, but follow your heart." ”

Cangming and the others were thoughtful.

"By the way, this forest is a virtual space, and the hunter you killed is just a clone of the old man. ”

Si Lao's words made everyone stunned, but they were not relieved, killing is killing, and virtual clones are not a reason to escape.

"Okay, from now on, what the old man wants to teach you is the real killing technique, the heaven-level combat skill, and the concealment technique. ”

As soon as the words fell, before Cangming and the others could react, a streamer entered their minds, and after a familiar sharp pain, this heaven-level combat skill was left.

The Concealment Technique, in general, is a body combat technique, it does not have any actual lethality, but it can completely hide one's breath and body for a period of time.

By using the Concealment technique, you can also instantly adapt to various environments and make the best way to hide yourself.

No wonder Si Lao would say that this is a real killing technique, after obtaining this combat skill, Cangming and their desire to assassinate can be described as twice the result with half the effort.

Cangming always thought that what the teachers of Tianzuo Academy taught was only some knowledge and fighting skills, but he didn't expect that he would also teach combat skills, although it was only at the heavenly level, but at this stage of their strength, it was already an extremely powerful skill.

"From today onwards, you will do your best to cultivate the art of concealment, but this matter will be put after class, and when you are in class, what the old man will teach you is still killing. ”

Si Lao said, this is the real beginning, because of the previous incident, many people were absent-minded, and they inevitably made some undeserved mistakes, for which they were severely punished by Si Lao.

Finally, after class, Si Lao also mentioned the ranking competition, and it seemed that he was very dissatisfied with the learning progress of the teenagers.

On the way back, the teenagers did not have the relaxed atmosphere they had before, but were a little heavy.

Xia Qi has always been a person who can't hide his words, and after holding it for a long time, he finally asked, "Why are you like that?"

Luo Xie knowingly asked, "What do you want?"

Xia Qi was silent for a while: "I thought you wouldn't be like those people in the empire. ”

The empire in his mouth is the place where he was born, the Dawn Empire of Midsummer Dawn, as the third prince, he came here a little unusually, hearing him say this, they can probably guess some hidden secrets.

At this time, I'm going to be the bad guy.

Cangming sighed in his heart and said, "Tianqi, have you ever killed a demonic beast?"

Xia Qi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "I've killed it." ”

Cangming then asked, "What would you do if the demon clan was in front of you?"

Xia Qi replied almost without hesitation: "If it's a demon, of course you can't let it go?"

Hearing this, Cangming pursed his mouth, "So, why can't you kill someone?"

Xia Qi was stunned for a while, and before he could speak, Cangming continued: "You killed the Demon Beast because in your eyes, it was just a beast, and you killed the Demon Clan because it was not my race, and its heart must be different, you hate to kill people because he is the same kind as us, isn't it?"

"Because it's the same kind, you can't kill it, because it's not the same kind, you can kill it?"

Xia Qi was stunned, opened his mouth for a long time and didn't know what to say, and finally said with difficulty: "But Mingzi, you also said it, they are our kindred clan, how can they kill indiscriminately." ”

Cangming smiled self-deprecatingly, "Tianqi, in fact, you are not as kind as you imagined, you said that you can't kill indiscriminately, that is to say, you actually don't reject killing, right?"

Xia Qi's face turned pale, it was like a line of defense in his heart was destroyed and collapsed, it turns out that I don't hate killing people?

It's just that you don't want to kill people at will?

Cangming continued: "Tianqi, whether you admit it or not, when you embark on the path of a cultivator, you are destined to be stained with blood, this is a world without rules, in this world, only the strong can survive. ”

"Face your heart, Tianqi, during the entrance trial, did you really not kill a person?"

Cangming's words were very harsh, like a sharp sword piercing Xia Qi's body, and the weakest place in the young man's heart was revealed at this time.

"I ......"

"Killed, didn't you?"

Cangming interrupted coldly: "You have killed, because they blocked your way, and you have to continue walking, so you have no choice but to kill him." ”

Looking at the young man's painful appearance, Cangming couldn't bear it, and his tone slowed down, "Actually, what Tianqi hates is not to kill people, but to hurt those innocent people who are defenseless, have no ability to resist and even have nothing to do with us, this is what you hate the most." ”

Xia Qi held his head and squatted on the ground in pain, and every word of Cangming came to his ears very clearly.

I don't hate killing? I just hate bullying the weak, but in fact, I also conform to the rules of this world?

Why, why make me hate myself.

Xia Qi's voice came intermittently, "I hate bullying the weak...... Yes...... What's wrong?!!"

Cangming shook his head slightly, "There's nothing wrong with it, because it's not you who is wrong at all, we, we're just adapting to the world." ”

Ye Ninghan sighed on the side, and gently put his hand on Xia Qi's shoulder, "Actually, Tianqi, you hate to kill people." ”

Xia Qi looked up in amazement, "But I, there is really murder!"

"Are you stupid by Mingzai? ”

Ye Ninghan knocked Xia Qi's head, "Killing people and hating killing people don't conflict." ”

"Tianqi hates killing people very much, but he is forced to kill people helplessly, because they stopped us, it's not your fault, but this world is like this, then don't blame you, because if you don't kill him at that time, it's you who will die, you are just protecting yourself. ”

Xia Qi looked at Ye Ninghan blankly, and his appearance was reflected in the young man's dancing eyes, "Protect...... Is it?"

Ye Ninghan smiled and nodded, "Tianqi is just protecting himself, he hates to kill people, if he can not kill in the future, he will not kill, if he doesn't want to bully the weak, then don't bully, Tianqi, you want to become a great man." ”

The voice fell, and he said in a voice that only he could hear: "Or, the person who stopped Tianqi, I will help you kill them all." ”

Xia Qi looked at Ye Ninghan, the hand that the young man put on his shoulder suddenly made him feel very warm, his gaze skimmed from Ye Ninghan's body, fell on Cangming's body, and looked at other people's bodies one by one, and finally said in an almost pleading voice: "Promise me, you won't kill people at will in the future, okay?"

Ye Ninghan took the lead and nodded: "Okay!"

The others looked at Xia Qi, who was originally a group, and they all nodded, "Okay." ”

The painful expression on Xia Qi's face finally faded, and he stood up as if he had put down the big stone in his heart, "It's an appointment." ”

Cangming and the others all nodded, "Yes, it's an appointment." ”

Xia Qi let go of the knot, the atmosphere was not as depressing as before, and the stomach was hungry, and they walked together in the direction of the cafeteria.

Lin Yitian walked beside Cangming and said in a low voice: "This time, you are a big bad guy." ”

Cangming smiled helplessly, "As long as he doesn't hate me in the future, it's fine." ”

Lin Yitian also smiled: "Don't worry, Tianqi won't." ”

Cangming nodded, "That's good." ”

Lin Yitian withdrew his gaze towards Cangming, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

After eating, as usual, he went to brush up on the book first, and after returning to the Yunye Palace, Cangming opened the key to the free war zone and entered the free war zone.

The Freedom War Zone is not a virtual space, it must be somewhere in the sky, and although it is late at night, the road is still visible in the bright moonlight.

Moreover, as long as a cultivator reached the Xuan Rank, he had a strong night vision ability, and this path seemed to them to be no different from what they saw during the day.

Cangming didn't know if he would be able to meet his opponent at night, but the purpose of his coming to the Free War Zone was to find the strange fighting skills he used when he met the White Skull that day, which was what Ling Tian said, the skills scattered in the Free War Zone.
