Chapter 8: The Way of Peaceful Slaughter (Part 2) Seeking Recommendations!

  Sun Li declined Su Xiaomei's concern-filled care outside the small courtyard and returned to his room alone.

  Luohuan's voice echoed in his mind, and for the first time ever, he lowered his tone: "Quickly use your inner energy!"

  Sun Lidun sat down with his legs crossed, operating the Heaven's Work of a mundane world. The starlight from the entire sky scattered down and merged into his body thread by thread, bit by bit.

  The power of the stars was gentle and tenacious, quickly repairing Sun Li's damaged body. A cool sensation spread through him, and he felt much better.

  It was midnight when Sun Li slowly withdrew his technique, opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of turbid air with a bloody smell, and his injury was completely recovered.

  Sun Lixing was furious in his heart and suppressed his anger to ask: "Was there anything wrong with my handling?"

  "In that situation, you've already done your best."

  Sun Li angrily said: "I have a mountain of anger in my chest that cannot be calmed!"

  Wu Yao nodded in approval: "That's right, if you're really as calm and collected as an eighty-year-old man, calculating gains and losses carefully, then you don't deserve for us to pass on the Star River True Explanation to you!"

  "Is there a way to calm the anger in my chest?"

  "Yes."

  "Taiping kills the way!"

  "To have peace, one must go through bloodshed!"

  "One must have a longing for peace in their heart, or else they will be overwhelmed by the murderous intentions in their chest and fall into madness!"

  Wu Yao explained a few sentences and then said: "You just watch!"

  Sun Li felt a movement in his storage ring and three small stone men flew out.

  These three stone men he had always carried with him, after getting the storage ring they were naturally placed inside. Now they automatically flew out and landed on the table beside him, the middle stone man stood still, the hundred armed stone man picked up a chopstick from the table and began to practice in the night.

  A small stone statue, yet amidst its manipulation, an aura of murder emanates, a thick darkness envelops it, and yet, paradoxically, allows you to see each of its movements with clarity.

  Chopsticks dance in the air, flying up and down, an invisible aura bursts out from within the chopsticks, carving out a crisscross pattern of trenches on the tabletop!

  The table was already shaking and the killing intent had penetrated into the body of the table. The three stone men flew up together, returning to Sun Li's storage ring. Sun Li recalled this chapter of "Taiping Kill Way" in his heart, and unintentionally raised his hand to place it on the table.

  "Crack!"

  The whole table shattered into pieces of wood all over the floor!

  Sun Li was stunned, but Luo Huan impatiently said in his mind: "Have you figured it out?"

  Sun Li said: "Still a little short..."

  Wu Yao said discontentedly to Luo Huan: "I've already said it, use my method, why bother with so much trouble? You'd better remember, young man..."

  What's wrong?

  As soon as the idea turned around, a violent killing intent burst out of his mind like an explosion, quickly flooding his entire consciousness!

  As if fighting out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of bones!

  As if wading out of a bloody river!

  As if bursting out of billions of ferocious souls!

  Those evil thoughts are torn apart, those fears shattered. In my chest, there is a torrent of murderous intent, like mountains and seas, but in the center, a serene floating island is the final destination...

  Swiftly, that murderous intent dissipated, and Wu Yao's voice rose again: "This time, have you understood?"

  Sun Li nodded: "I understand!"

  "Good." Wu Yao said: "You must also understand that what you want is a peaceful environment for cultivation, but those people won't give it to you. If you want it, you have to fight for it yourself."

  Sun Li nodded: "I understand."

  He paused for a moment, then suddenly said: "The way of peace kills the way, these are just small ways."

  Luohuan didn't expect this, and after a long time, Wu Yao burst out laughing loudly: "Haha! The child is indeed teachable, I was right not to misjudge you!"

  The way of killing is just a minor path.

  The way of self-cultivation is the Great Way.

  However, without small virtues, great virtues will have nothing to follow.

  Sun Li slipped out of the door, taking advantage of the night, and darted into the mountain forest like a spirit monkey. A moment later, a surge of fierce killing intent burst forth in the depths of the dense forest!

  ……

  Muyan Xie'er stood on an ancient tree, below the mountain forest, a young man like a wolf, with a heart as hard as iron, his whole body exuding killing intent. Every stick he swung out had killing intent condensed into countless flying needles, causing the surrounding leaves to rustle and leaving behind countless holes.

  "Sun Li..." She silently recited the name in her heart, and a strange light flickered in her sapphire-like eyes.

  ……

  Sun Li looked at the six people in front of him, and it was only a day apart. The injuries of these people had healed, and he didn't know if it was because of their own cultivation or because they took some kind of pill.

  The first-class disciple stepped forward, revealing a ruthless smile: "Sun Li, you're dead for sure! Yesterday's carelessness allowed you to catch me off guard, but today will be absolutely different!"

  "He waved his hand: 'Everyone, go up together, fight to the death, and kill a useless thing like Ding, teach them that they will never sacrifice us promising disciples for their lives!'"

  Six people rushed forward fearlessly.

  The girl who had hit Sun Li's occipital bone with a sharp green stone the day before, retreated to one side again, but her eyes were rolling around, as if she was thinking of some wicked plan.

  Su Xiaomei stood behind Sun Lishen, biting her lip and summoning up the courage to shout loudly: "You're bullying people, I'm going to tell Master Chongba!"

  No one paid attention to her, the five male disciples' faces were all cruel, yesterday's great defeat and severe injury was a great shame for them, if they didn't kill Sun Li, it would be hard to vent their anger!

  "Good! Good! Good!"

  Laughing, he didn't say where the good was, and with a kick of his foot on the broom, the head of the broom snapped off and flew out. Sun Li's hand shook, and the broom handle was horizontal in his hand, shaking out a bunch of stick flowers pointing forward. The three people in front were blinded by the sudden burst of flowers.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Each of you will get a beating.

  Nosebleed flowed, three people were stunned, and the two behind rushed up. Sun Liren followed the stick, and the endless stick shadow burst out, like a storm, sweeping all five male disciples in.

  "Ah!"

  Cries of agony continued unabated, the wooden stick in Sun Li's hand was a ruthless weapon with no eyes, regardless of whether it was the eyes, nose or chest and groin, as long as there was a target, it would be smashed with one stick.

  Yesterday they could barely manage to fight Sun Li to a draw, but today they couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes before four people had their ribs broken and another one broke his leg.

  The female disciple who had been standing aside, quietly moved to stand behind Sun Li. The beautiful small hand that was hidden in her sleeve came out, grasping a short knife with a cold and shiny blade!

  The female disciple's face flashed with a hint of malice as she drew her sword and stabbed it at Sun Li's back with all her might.

  The five injured male disciples around him, who had practiced countless times, rushed towards Sun Li together. As long as they tied up Sun Li's hands and feet, that one knife would surely take Sun Li's life!

  A stick comes from outside the sky, and the goat hangs its horns without a trace to be found!

  Originally just a swift and ferocious wooden stick, it suddenly underwent a transformation in this one move, with endless killing intent bursting forth like a volcano that had been suppressed for tens of thousands of years, its power unstoppable.

  That female disciple only saw a wooden stick suddenly falling on the short knife in her hand, with a fierce killing intent, and the finely tempered steel knife couldn't withstand it. With a "pa" sound, it exploded into powder, and shiny iron pieces flew everywhere, each piece reflecting Sun Li's sharp and piercing eyes.

  Innumerable pairs of eyes were fixed on the female disciple, filled with ridicule, disdain, and pity for the weak...

  "Boom!"

  Killing intent exploded, and with one stick, the female disciple flew out seven zhang. The other five male disciples were also affected by the killing intent, their chests feeling like they had been heavily struck. They stumbled back seven or eight steps, covering their mouths as they opened them, and a bloody palm print appeared between them!

  Sun Lichang stood tall and proud, cold and arrogant as ice. The wooden stick in his hand suddenly snapped with a loud crack, shattering into wood chips that fluttered down.

  The killing intent that filled the sky slowly withdrew into his body. He beckoned to Su Xiao Mei, who had already been stunned silly, and smiled: "Let's go."

  Su Xiao Mei mechanically followed him, her footsteps quiet. The two of them, one tall and one short, walked out of the academy together for the second time. The sun was setting, casting long shadows behind them. As they passed by a student from Class A, the student's eyes widened in fear, and he involuntarily shuddered, taking a step back.

  Chong Ba stood in a distant forest, he had been standing here for a long time, and from start to finish, he saw the whole battle.

  A faint flush rose amidst the gruesome cicatricial scarring on his face.

  Chong Yin appeared like a ghost beside a large tree, half-reclining on the branches, and surprisingly held a pale green wine gourd in his hand. As he poured himself a drink, he asked, "What's wrong, got an itchy palm?"

  This posture is vastly different from his usual dignified demeanor.

  Chong Ba's scar twitched, his teeth clenched, and the muscles on his cheekbones bulged slightly as he finally said, "If I don't use magic or spiritual energy, just relying on my fighting skills, I'm not his match."

  Chong Yin let out a loud laugh, and with a "gulps" sound, he poured a large mouthful of wine into his mouth. Without any elegance, he lifted up his sleeve to wipe his mouth: "I think so too."

  Chong Ba sighed, and on his intimidating face, a rare hint of warmth appeared: "What a pity. These are ultimately just minor paths. This child's talent is too poor, and he will never be destined for the Great Way..."

  Chong Yin said with a smile while pouring wine: "You still have one more sentence hidden behind you."

  Chong Ba smiled and suddenly had a few more points of pride: "A small path can also become a great talent!"

  Chong Yin's face changed: "You want him to compete for the position of Mountain Guardian?!"

  Chong Ba raised an eyebrow: "What's impossible? Even at worst, someone can take my place."

  Chong Yin nodded and looked at Chong Ba: "Do you want to escort him for a while?"

  Chong Ba laughed, the centipede scar on his face twitched again, flashing in and out of sight. His fists clenched with a cracking sound: "Not just sending him off, I'll help him train properly, heh heh!"

  Chong Yin shook his head: "This madman..."

  ……

  "Do you want to rebel against Mount Su?" A fight broke out, but Luo Huan felt that Sun Li still had unresolved anger in his heart.

  This sect is full of internal strife, and even the seniors are not kind, so Sun Li has no place to be nostalgic about.

  Sun Li remained silent, and Luo Huan said lightly: "Although it may not be good here, going out will definitely be worse. Although we can teach you a lot, after all, we cannot protect you."

  Even within the sect, it's still like this. If you were to go out and become a loose cultivator, it would definitely be even more dangerous. Within the sect, after all, everyone has to follow certain rules and methods, and if they violate them, there will always be punishment to make them fearful and not act recklessly. But when facing those loose cultivators, they kill people and rob them of their goods without any qualms.

  Sun Limou was silent for a moment: "Luo Zu, I actually understand these things, but I just don't want to."

  ……
