Chapter 370: To Kill or Not to Kill, That Is the Question
As soon as Benton Teleported away from the kids, he clenched his fists. The JCSB alliance had killed Kang Lin. She had been dead. Her soul was slipping away. If he would have been a few seconds slower, he would have lost her forever.
They. Killed. Kang. Lin.
As soon as he re-appeared on the roof that had served as the JCSB’s base for the fight, Benton used three of his Auras to suppress the remaining enemy Nascent Souls and charged his Void finisher attack.
A small voice in his head told him that the weirdly proficient cultivators he faced probably had strong backing and that it would be a headache to deal with the repercussions that came from killing them. At that moment, though, he didn’t care.
They killed Kang Lin.
Luckily, another target for his anger appeared. The angry woman from the Swift Blizzard Sect was angrily haranguing the Nascent Souls at that very moment.
“What are you waiting for?” she yelled. “Kill him! That’s what we paid you for.”
Benton was pretty sure that the only reason the three hadn’t already killed her was that they had surrendered, and any offensive act would likely make their situation even worse. He had no idea why Yuan Yaozu hadn’t.
How the woman didn’t see that was beyond Benton. His understanding was that her sect practiced some type of Mind cultivation, so he couldn’t help but wonder if there was something seriously wrong with it that caused them to have suicidal impulses.
Or maybe they were simply stereotypical cultivators.
Either way, it didn’t matter to him.
Was she a Golden Core or above? Yes, check. Was she a member of either the Swift Blizzard or Jade Chameleon sects? Yes, check.
