Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System-Chapter 774 - 363: "The ’beast’ shouldn’t die, so should it live?_4
After achieving the status of a Celestial Being, one can traverse through the void, and now Su Tu was moving very fast, already reaching the territory of the Chen family.
Originally planning to go directly to the Chen family.
But suddenly...
Buzz~ Buzz~
Buzz~
An intense heat appeared at his waist, and Su Tu’s figure emerged from the void, with a movement of his hand, the Centurion Order instantly appeared in his palm.
"Beast!?"
Since the end of the general examination, this token hadn’t shown any anomalies for a long time.
The token has a natural reaction to beasts, and now, with such anomalies appearing, it indicated that there were beasts nearby!
Su Tu’s expression instantly changed.
His figure spun sharply, directly rushing toward the location indicated by the token, which was not far from him, arriving in an instant.
He looked down from above.
It was a small village, with thin smoke rising, seeming to be detached from the era of technology. Many people were busy in the village, some chopping wood, some cooking, children playing, and elderly people smiling and sitting at the entrance of the village.
Everything appeared so warm and peaceful.
However, when Su Tu’s gaze fell on those people, a clear trace of killing intent emerged.
Because, at that moment, in his eyes, through their flesh, he saw... facial features growing on their beating hearts!!
Everyone in the village was the same, indicating that these people were all... beasts!!
Moreover, Su Tu had dealt with these beasts before, they were... heart-faced beasts!!!
Without any hesitation, Su Tu stepped out directly, breaking through the air, and appeared in the village.
In an instant, the previously carefree villagers became alerted as if facing a formidable enemy, gathering together and protecting the children behind them.
Swish!!!
Su Tu didn’t even want to say any unnecessary words to these beasts; with a flick of his hand, the Black Dragon Celestial Extremes appeared in his hand. As the spear’s edge was raised, an invisible force swept through everything.
The entire world began to lose its colors, leaving only shades of gray.
In an instant, everyone’s bodies were stained with the gray, as invisible lines seemed to connect each of them to the spear’s edge. If Su Tu’s spear tip fell at that moment, everyone present would collapse and disintegrate instantly.
Feeling the terrifying atmosphere, some of the strong men in the crowd couldn’t sit still any longer, faces contorted and hearts pounding wildly, pushing their chests upward as if their hearts would leap out.
"Everyone stop!!"
At this moment, an elderly figure walked out from the crowd, and a path opened up naturally.
Su Tu’s gaze involuntarily fell on the old man, and then his eyes suddenly trembled.
He had seen this old man in the news!
This man was the patriarch of the Chen family, who had been drained of blood and died!
Indeed, this person had already died, and now controlling him was the heart-faced beast inside him!
The heart-faced beast not only possessed the terrifying power of Heart and Spirit but could also perfectly master the cultivation of its host, and this old man was a Venerable while alive!!
"Venerable... I’ve never killed one!"
However, Su Tu showed no hint of fear facing the old man. He had just broken through a realm and needed a whetstone to confirm the extent of his current combat strength.
"You are Su Tu, aren’t you?"
"Previously, Chen Shan wanted us to kill you, but we refused. Over the years, we’ve done many things for him and obtained these bodies. Now, we just want to live well."
The old man spoke softly, spreading his hands in front of him, showing no malice.
"By the way, these bodies were not taken by force; when we found the Chen family, they were already dead; we’re merely borrowing them."
He explained, revealing countless pieces of information.
"We are tired of everything and don’t want to intervene in anything further; we just want to live quietly in this Star River. If you are unwilling, we can leave Celestial City Star, even go far from the Human Race’s planets."
"Su Tu, your Human Race has a saying that a gentleman born in a small country is not at fault for being not a gentleman. We do not wish to battle to the death with the Human Race inherently; this is not our crime."
"Do you think we should be doomed to die at birth!!!"
The old man spoke passionately, his voice resonant with hidden meaning, and upon his words, every villager lowered their heads, appearing somewhat bewildered.
But hearing this, a tinge of coldness appeared on Su Tu’s face.
Buzz!!!
The spear swept across the horizon, and the threads of calamity arose, exploding with terrifying power instantly, sweeping across the scene. The old man’s eyes trembled, swiftly trying to resist, as a vast force appeared, directly intercepting in the void.
Although some threads of calamity were severed, a small portion remained intact.
With a thunderous roar, the bodies of a dozen villagers collapsed, with their bright red hearts just about to leap out, followed by spear edges emerging in the void, directly annihilating them.
"Shouldn’t beasts die; do they deserve to live instead?"
"Whose hands among you are clean, whose hands haven’t been stained with human blood? Now claiming not to want to play anymore, you speak well. But... why..."
Su Tu raised the spear edge, looking indifferently at the old man.
"Why should you live just because you don’t want to die?"
"Everyone, stop pretending. Please do your utmost to resist and try... to survive!!"
Now, the heart-faced beasts, infuriated by their kin’s demise, stared at Su Tu with bloodshot eyes, their heartbeats becoming as terrifying as mighty bells.
Seemingly, some terrible power of Heart and Spirit was about to erupt.
Yet...
Thud!!!
The elderly figure’s heart erupted with a thunderous sound, as if Heaven itself was angry, instantly suppressing the condensed power.
He took a deep breath and looked at Su Tu: "We really just want to survive. If you’re willing to give us a chance."
"I can reveal the whole truth about the airship explosion."
The old man said word by word.
Upon hearing these words, Su Tu’s eyes suddenly trembled, the truth about the airship... This was a thorn always lodged in Su Tu’s heart; the whole warship, over three hundred people, all died because of Su Tu.
Su Tu had never forgotten everything and had been searching for the truth but to no avail.
Unexpectedly, this time, he obtained related information here, what one would call an unintended outcome.
He lightly lifted the spear edge, agreeing to nothing, only lowering his brow further, speaking in a low voice: "Speak!"
