Same experience, same experience, same enemy.
Chen Changzhuan questioned Xiao Rumo, but facing this tearful accusation, Xiao Rumo just shook his head.
"... .compared to me."
"Chen Changzhuan, do you hate him?"
"Of course I hate it!"
Chen Changzhuan sneered, "For a little profit, those two families used my relatives and my family members as sacrificial pawns. I will never forget the fire in the village that day. I have also sworn that I will kill them all, leaving no one alive!"
"And did you do that?"
"Hahaha! Of course I did!"
Chen Changzhuan seemed to recall something happy, and couldn't help but laugh wildly: "They are all dead! I placed the heads of those responsible next to the ruins of the village, and then burned them all. That was the happiest day I had in my more than 20 years of martial arts training!"
Xiao Rumo's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to ask the next question: "Since you have killed them all."
"So what are you hating now?"
“I hate this world!”
Chen Changzhuan seemed to have expected Xiao Rumo to ask this question. He waved his hand and said sternly, "Those two families are just minor villains! What really made them do that is this world! This is a world where the strong learn martial arts to become stronger, while the weak are slaughtered at will. There is no justice at all!"
"That's why I'm going to kill them all!"
"If we destroy all those who know martial arts, the martial arts world will naturally be gone, and the world will be at peace!"
"This Jianghu is the main culprit!"
"... .I see."
Xiao Rumo nodded, showing an understanding look: "No wonder you would do such a thing, even your fellow disciples from Xiaoyao Sect would be involved..."
"good!"
Chen Changzhuan sneered: "This is my purpose! There is no martial arts in the world! To prevent a tragedy like mine from happening again!"
"You probably got these illusion techniques from the Emperor's Mausoleum, right?"
"It seems so."
"The first discoverer of the imperial tomb was not the imperial court, but you?"
"snort!"
Chen Changzhuan showed disdain: "If I didn't lead the way, would those people in the court also want to find the imperial mausoleum? This time, the plan to surround and kill everyone in the imperial mausoleum was also formulated by me, and Wang Zhixin was just an executor. As long as the plan is achieved, I can devour everyone's blood and internal strength, become the best in the world, and then implement the strategy of absolute martial arts..."
"Number one in the world?"
"... .Um?"
"Why is the best in the world first? You want to be the best in the world, right? Why do you want to be the best in the world first?"
“… … ..”
Chen Changzhuan opened his mouth slightly, looking at Xiao Rumo who still had a calm face, a nameless anger suddenly surged from his heart: "Because without sufficient strength! There is no way to truly implement the strategy of absolute martial arts! You have to become the best in the world first! Only when you have strength! Can you truly make the world without martial arts!"
"What if there is no martial arts in the world? Will you give up your martial arts?"
"certainly!"
Chen Changzhuan said without hesitation.
Xiao Rumo shook his head.
"I understand what you mean, Chen Changzhuan."
"Understood?"
Chen Changzhuan was stunned for a moment, then his face showed joy: "You understand me? Hahaha! Sword Master Xiao! I knew you would understand me! In this case, you can release the sword intent lock and let me absorb some of your blood and internal strength. Don't worry, you and I are in the same boat, I won't use this as an excuse to kill you..."
"Don't let your imagination run wild..."
Xiao Rumo suddenly interrupted Chen Changzhuan's excited words.
"I won't lend you even a little bit of power."
“… ..!”
Chen Changzhuan's voice suddenly stopped.
Xiao Rumo continued to talk, "Chen Changzhuan, can you tell me why you didn't cry just now?"
"... .What?"
"It was the same illusion. When I saw those scenes from the past, I couldn't hold back my tears."
"But you are different."
"You didn't even look at the illusions around you, or even at your dead relatives. You were just looking at me the whole time, as if you wanted to eat me up."
"You don't care about your relatives at all."
"You just want to take away my blood and inner strength."
Chen Changzhuan: “!!!”
"... You! You're talking nonsense! I knew this was an illusion! That's why I didn't go to see it..."
"And your so-called righteousness is actually untenable. The strong and the weak are not distinguished by force. Even if there is no martial arts, or the rich and powerful, or the rich and powerful, it is just a new batch of strong people. If you really want to seek justice for the world and the people, you should become an official."
"Instead of talking about destroying the military here."
"And Chen Changzhuan, you were wrong about one thing just now."
"I'm different from you."
Ignoring Chen Changzhuan's explanation, Xiao Rumo continued to speak to himself: "I really have hatred in my heart. I feel sad for the death of my relatives, and I feel angry that I can't do anything about it, so I want to kill them all. This is not based on any justice, but personal grudges, and I have never denied this."
"But you are different, Chen Changzhuan. In my opinion, your true feelings..."
"... Actually, I'm envious."
"You envy them for having powers beyond ordinary people. You envy them for being able to decide life and death for others. You envy those truly strong people."
"Even the so-called revenge is just a waste of your power. There may be hatred in it, but it is more of the pleasure and satisfaction of manipulating the life and death of others."
Having said that, Xiao Rumo paused for a moment, and then made a characterization of Chen Changzhuan.
"evil ways."
"Don't confuse me with you."
... ... ... ..
... ... ..
silence.
After being scolded by Xiao Rumo, Chen Changzhuan fell into strange silence.
After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth and let out a low and shrill roar: "... What do you know."
"Aren't you envious?"
“Powerful force!”
"With cultivation and power, you can manipulate the life and death of others at will! You can kill all those who bully you! You can make those who you like prosper!"
“Isn’t it normal to be envious?”
"What's wrong!?"
Chen Changzhuan raised his head, his eyes became confused at this moment, and there seemed to be a blood shadow wandering in them.
"... .Ah, yes, you are Xiao Rumo."
"The world's number one swordsman, the sword master of Jianghu, the strongest of Xiaoyao Sect."
"Of course you don't envy me."
"Because you have talent, you are strong enough! But what about me? Although I am a true disciple of Xiaoyao Sect, my cultivation is the weakest among my peers! I am not talented either! I can't be as strong as you! I am not a genius! I am destined to never get as strong as you!"
"So I have to take an unconventional approach! I can't get stronger! The only thing I can do is kill everyone who is stronger than me!"
"Even if it means taking an unconventional approach, I will become stronger!"
"Isn't the purpose of a warrior to become stronger?"
"What did I do wrong!?"
This time, Chen Changzhuan's emotions were different from before, and his tone was much more genuine, obviously speaking from his heart.
But Xiao Rumo still just shook his head and smiled.
"why are you laughing!"
"Xiao Rumo! Are you looking down on me? Don't forget! You are still in my illusion. As long as I don't break this illusion, you will die sooner or later. By then, even if my physical body in reality dies, I can use the Blood Demon Pill to occupy your body and make you my puppet..."
"You said before that you specifically investigated me?"
"... ..What's wrong?"
Xiao Rumo stood with his hands behind his back and said loudly, "Then you want to know my experience, right?"
"Oh, of course."
Chen Changzhuan grinned, his expression full of sarcasm: "The famous sword master in Jianghu, the best swordsman in the world, joined Xiaoyao Sect at the age of ten, and then studied sword for thirty years, practiced sword for thirty years, and cultivated sword for thirty years. Finally, he achieved great success in swordsmanship and became the best grandmaster in the world..."
Chen Changzhuan's voice became softer and softer, as if he realized something.
Xiao Rumo just spread his hands nonchalantly.
"Look."
"It took me ninety years to reach my current state. Now I am over one hundred and ten years old. Looking at the world, I am probably the oldest person."
“It’s been so many years since I’ve reached this stage.”
"Even so, I'm still not invincible."
"Wang Zhixin alone is likely to be able to fight me head-on. If I am careless, he might even kill me."
"you see me?"
"Like someone with extraordinary talent?"
Chen Changzhuan shut his mouth completely.
