Dao Equaling the Heavens

Gu Wen and Chi Yu Zi exchanged glances, their eyes filled with murderous intent.

Encountering others in Nanshui meant they were foes, not friends, and according to the intelligence returned by Jun Yan, four Devil Clan prodigies had crossed the border specifically seeking vengeance for ancestral bloodshed.

They had also had about enough, as anyone would be furious after being persistently blocked and chased.

Instead of seeking them out, it was these beasts who had taken the chance to seize their opportunity first.

Communicating with Divine Thought, Gu Wen declared, "Humans and devils are not compatible; there is no need for mercy or morals with these beasts. Sneak in quietly, seize the opportunity and strike them down with a blow from behind; if we can launch a surprise attack, avoid head-on confrontations."

Despite Chi Yu Zi’s unparalleled combat abilities and Gu Wen’s capacity to cross two or, perhaps, three levels to kill an enemy, the enemies they faced were too numerous.

"Understood."

Chi Yu Zi, usually upright and forthright, agreed crisply and wholeheartedly.

She had been raised since childhood with the principle that there was no need for tenderness or mercy towards the Devil Clan.

Though the Major Sects tacitly permitted the Devil Clan to cross the borders, the education for sect disciples fundamentally emphasized ’Humans and devils remain separate.’ Such a divide was akin to the distinction between nations and barbarians, both in Daqian and in previous times.
