Dao Gui Plane.
“Senior Brother Li, Fang Yuan… is he… is he too cruel??”
Bai Ling Miao stood behind Li Huo Wang, somewhat afraid.
Li Huo Wang, clad in a blood-red Daoist robe, had a detached gaze.
“Cruel?”
“In this damned world of ours, are cruel things anything new?”
“But… Fang Yuan shouldn’t have killed the whole family.”
Cao Cao said:
“That little girl was so pretty, and he just killed her like that.”
“Now he’s killed the whole family, and they’re coming for revenge. This is a ruthless and cruel Magic Dao Gu Master. Can Fang Yuan really survive?”
Li Huo Wang said calmly:
“He who kills, shall be killed.”
“He himself said it, in a chaotic world, life is like grass. Others' lives are grass, his life is also grass.”
“He died, so… ”
“Ah!!!”
As Li Huo Wang spoke, he felt a dizziness in his head. In a daze, he seemed to be back in the mental hospital, seeing his mother.
“Mom, I’m not hungry, I’ll eat later. You and Dad…”
“Damn it!! Senior Brother Li is having another episode, quick, tie him up!!”
Bai Ling Miao was terrified, quickly ordering people to tie up Li Huo Wang.
...
The barrage continued.
【Within the tree house, Fang Yuan’s thoughts were churning.]
【Drawing upon the wisdom he had accumulated from his past life, Fang Yuan had sensed Wang Da’s presence.]
【So, what was Wang Da's strength like?】
【Fang Yuan had never met this Wang Da, but just from these clues, he could deduce a lot of information.]
【“Courage is built upon the foundation of strength. He collected information about me, and still wants to seek revenge. He’s so confident, it seems his cultivation must be above the First Transformation!”】
【“For these three years, he has been moving around these three red-circled places. He’s been surviving in the cracks between the three major bandit gangs, facing the constant danger of being discovered and hunted. This shows that he doesn’t have the ability to venture out alone.”】
【“But to venture out alone, a Gu Master’s cultivation must be at least the Third Transformation.”】
【“So, based on this, it’s safe to say that his cultivation is at the Second Transformation.”】
【“He disappeared three years ago, and now his cultivation is at the Second Transformation. His aptitude should be between C-rank and B-rank, with True Essence in his Empty Apertures ranging from 40% to 70%.”】
【“These past three years, he’s been able to survive in the cracks. He was also able to live in Jiang He’s house under his very nose. His Gu insects must include some with stealth abilities.”】
【In Gu Master battles, intelligence is crucial.】
【Fang Yuan didn’t have any detection Gu insects, but he relied on his experience and wisdom, and roughly deduced Wang Da's cultivation and Gu insects.]
【Soon, he had painted a picture in his mind of a Magic Dao Second Transformation Gu Master, fueled by the burning hatred of having his family killed, lurking in the shadows, seeking to hunt him down.】
【“I can kill others, and naturally others can kill me. There’s nothing to it,” Fang Yuan chuckled lightly.】
【In this world, everyone has the right to live, and everyone has the chance to die.】
【He who kills, shall be killed.】
【Since he had killed someone, he had to be prepared to be killed himself.】
【If he were to die like this, then so be it. There’s nothing to regret. It’s the path he chose.】
【Fang Yuan had already reached a deep understanding of this.】
【This is the way of the Magic Dao!】
【“Wang Da wants to kill me, then this midterm assessment is definitely a great opportunity.”】
【“Usually, students reside in the bandit camps. With his Second Transformation cultivation, he can’t sneak into the camps. It’s pure suicide.”】
【“Maybe he analyzed that I might go out hunting.”】
【“But Qing Mao Mountain is so vast. He’s alone, trying to conceal himself and search for me. It’s too difficult. This opportunity is his best chance to strike.”】
【“He’s a Second Transformation Gu Master, and a Magic Dao Gu Master, forged in the fires of three years of struggling to survive, facing constant danger. With my current strength, I’m no match for him. But that doesn’t mean I’m without a chance.”】
【Escape!】
【Fang Yuan instantly decided on this course of action.】
【There’s nothing shameful about survival. If I can’t fight, I’ll run.】
【Breaking through during a battle is impossible for a Gu Master. Defying levels is possible, but only if the Gu Master has special Gu insects.】
【Fang Yuan had a lot of Gu insects, but the Spring and Autumn Cicada was near death and asleep. He couldn't use it. The Wine Worm, the White Pig Gu, the Little Light Gu, and the Moonlight Gu were not trump cards that could defy levels.】
【Knowing you’re outmatched and still choosing to fight to the death is the kind of foolishness they call “passion.” Even if you win, it’s just luck.】
【Fang Yuan’s entire life has been about caution. Even if he had trump cards, if his chances of winning were low, he’d choose to avoid a fight whenever possible.】
【He likes to control the situation, using various means to maximize his chances of victory. He enjoys fighting battles he’s sure to win.】
【He would only resort to fighting recklessly when absolutely necessary.】
【Therefore, he often does things like bullying the weak, stealing resources, and constantly becoming stronger. Strong enough to surpass his previous enemies, and then return to settle the score, which is to say, to continue bullying the weak.】
【There’s nothing shameful about this. Those who actively seek challenges to prove their bravery, risking their lives to fight strong enemies to the death, are the real fools.】
【But this kind of value system is constantly being praised and encouraged. It’s because any organization needs individuals to constantly sacrifice themselves to maintain the interests of the upper echelons.】
【Just think about it, survival is the prerequisite for all activities.】
【To survive, to achieve your dreams, that is the greatest courage a person can have.】
【To die for your dreams is foolish. To live for your dreams, scraping by, that is a warrior!】
【On Earth, Han Xin endured the humiliation under the crotch, Cao Cao cut his beard and robe to escape pursuit, King Goujian of Yue, to survive, fed his enemy feces as a sign of loyalty…】
【So, to hell with glory, fame, and face!】
