Chapter 1201: Taking Revenge Face-To-Face (II)
“Not only do I want Zheng Yu to feel it, but I want him to personally see us devour his father’s body, bones, strength, and everything that was the man,” Li Hao laughed softly. “I want him to know that I killed his father and second brother! He’s next!”
Although the young man spoke calmly, Li Daozong’s expression shifted slightly and he said, “We cultivate the heart when we seek the dao...”
“My heart is at peace,” Li Hao responded calmly. “There is no need for the Ninth Division leader to say anything. I know what I’m doing. Someone once advised me not to become a killing machine on account of anger and hatred. I realized long ago that I would never fall into a cycle of mindless slaughter.
“But I do need to kill and avenge those near and dear to me. My heart needs that to be at peace!
“I am neither a saint nor a demon. I am just a martial master of the martial world. A life for a life! I will take revenge if I have the ability to and give up if I do not. It’s that simple! Those who walk through the martial world think less of life and death. Since when did that lead to losing oneself to internal demons?”
There was no need to persuade him from his path. The young man knew full well what he was doing and would not lose control. He was very much aware of everything he did.
However, it was this kind of reply that made Li Daozong color with dismay. Li Hao... was very calm at the moment. But the more he was thus, the more frightening he came off to others. The young man had changed after the deaths of Yuan Shuo and the others. What had he changed into?
His dao heart was clear and he was without ties of friendship or hopes for the future. He rather appeared to possess the emotionless nature of the great dao. I am just a cultivator, there is nothing worth mentioning in this world apart from my revenge.
“I will attempt to summon the Empyrean King’s dao, please lend me a hand, everyone! We will cut it down today!” Li Hao vanished, leaving only his voice ringing in the air. “There is certain to be core origin emanating after the deed is done. Redwood Mountain and Imperial Guard have contributed greatly to this battle. They are not Saints, but they can share in this core origin energy. If Redwood Mountain can progress to the Saint level... then there will be another powerhouse among the plant spirits!”
The redwood rustled its leaves with glee!
There was certain to be a large amount of core origin power exuding from the broken dao of an Empyrean King. Even if it didn’t measure up to what it would’ve been in the age of core origin, even if Zheng Hongyuan had nearly depleted it, an Empyrean King was still an Empyrean King!
