Chapter 116: South Mountain
The old Daoist was stunned for a moment by these words before he said, "Ah… Head Constable Yin. Brother Xin… he's already dead."
Yin Pingzhi rubbed his foot on the ground and looked around. "Death is letting him off easy. In my opinion, all these—"
He swept his left arm around. "All these broken and ruined families, it's all because of him. He's no good, that demon Daoist! Maybe he was a demon himself. Anyone who gets involved with him comes to no good. You brought this demon Daoist into the city, caused the deaths of so many people, caused the death of my niece! I must kill you, to rid the world of this evil!"
After Yin Pingzhi said this, he put force into his wrist. His waist saber came out of its scabbard an inch, revealing a bright blade that reflected the sunlight, making the old Daoist squint.
This Old Daoist Liu raised his hand to block it and said, "If you want to kill me to vent your anger, you could just leap over and cut me down with one strike. Why bother… saying all this. I think, old Daoist that I am, that you're scared. You're afraid that Brother Xin isn't dead yet, and once you make a move out of anger, there will be no room to turn back, am I right?"
Yin Pingzhi frowned. He looked around and sneered. "Not dead? Someone already told me that last night a white-robed monster mashed his corpse to a pulp. How could he not be dead?"
The old Daoist sighed. "If that's the case, Head Constable Yin, then make your move."
Yin Pingzhi gritted his teeth, his jaws tensing. He took two steps closer to Old Daoist Liu and drew his waist saber. "You think I don't dare to kill you?!"
The old Daoist reached out and picked up a fist-sized stone from the side, holding it in his hand as he looked up at Yin Pingzhi. "Head Constable Yin. I've heard of your reputation before. They all say you're a man who hides his thoughts deep, generous but also decisive in your actions. But your niece, you said you weren't sure if she met her misfortune at Brother Xin's hands. Now you're also afraid that Brother Xin isn't dead and will come to settle scores with you."
