Longevity begins with refining blood essence

Chapter 24: Killing is to protect lives, killing karma is not killing people
"The court doesn't care?"

"The day the dam collapsed, the county magistrate was still recruiting strong laborers to help him move. How could he have time to care about us poor people? Thirteen members of my family were drowned, including my parents-in-law, parents, uncle, sister, nephew, and husband. When we were fleeing, we were killed by bandits. Two of our older children were killed. Now, only my mother and I are left. I don't know how long we can live."

Fang Chen's face was calm, but he couldn't help but curse this damn court in his heart.

One day when I become a saint, I will kill that dog beast Emperor Qian!
At this moment, several people not far away who had been frightened by Fang Chen before were looking at him with murderous eyes.

"Brother, he has some dried meat!"

"So what? He looks fair and clean, with an upright figure. Just standing there, he has an aura of authority without even getting angry. He's obviously a martial artist. How can we defeat him?"

"Are we just going to watch him leave?"

"Why are you panicking? He can't fight four people with his two fists. I don't believe he can handle so many victims."

Thinking of this, he immediately yelled:
"There is jerky here, and that man has jerky and food!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding victims rushed over quickly from all directions. People who were extremely hungry were no different from wolves. They had lost their humanity and only had the desire for food.

"Mom, mom, there are so many people!"

The little girl hid behind her mother in fear. The woman also had a horrified look on her face. She had seen many disaster victims cannibalizing each other along the way.
Fang Chen's eyes remained calm. When countless victims swarmed over and came to within ten meters of him, Fang Chen suddenly drew out his sword and slashed forward.

boom--!
A sword energy of more than fifty meters suddenly spread out from the waist knife. When the sword fell, it directly cut in half the more than twenty disaster victims on the path of the sword energy.

The broken limbs and arms were blown away, instantly calming the hungry and thirsty victims.

"Help!"

"The gods have come down to earth, the gods have come down to earth!"

Some people were so scared that their legs went weak, while others took the opportunity to pick up some pieces of meat and ran away quickly. The scene was in chaos, but no one dared to attack Fang Chen again.

Fang Chen put away his sword and said coldly:

"Go ahead. You won't be so lucky to meet me next time."

After he finished speaking, he tiptoed and went straight to the people who had just come. He was in the innate realm, with super strong five senses and six consciousnesses, so he naturally saw and heard who was instigating behind the scenes.

The woman looked at Fang Chen's quickly disappearing back in bewilderment and said stupidly:
"Mengmeng, we really met a god today."

Fang Chen didn't even need to use his Wind God Leg technique. With just a few leaps, he was a hundred meters away and heading straight for those people.

At this moment, a Sanskrit sound suddenly rang in his ears.

"Amitabha, good, good! If you can spare someone, spare them. Why do you have to kill them all?"

Unfortunately, Fang Chen ignored him and raised his hand to punch out, which was the Divine Tiger Sky-Splitting Fist from the Five Spirits Divine Art.

At the same time, a terrifying wave suddenly appeared behind those people, passed them, and crashed straight into Fang Chen's fist force.

boom--!
The two energies collided, and the waves of fear swept across the surroundings. Except for Fang Chen's body which did not move at all, the chest bones of those people were shattered by the shock wave, and they were all killed on the spot.

"Amitabha, sin, sin, sin!"

There was another Sanskrit sound, and Fang Chen saw that it was a young monk who appeared on the slope not far in front of him.

When he saw him, a strange look flashed in Fang Chen's eyes, because the other party was very young, probably only about twenty years old, not much older than himself, but he also had the cultivation level of the innate realm.

Although it is not as good as his own peak innate state, it is definitely not at the initial stage of innate state.

It was because I had cheats, and the opponent was so strong, I was afraid he must be from a powerful background.

"You just saved someone, and now you're killing someone. You're both good and evil. I can't tell. Is you a human or a demon?"

Fang Chen's eyes regained their composure, and he spoke calmly. "I saved people earlier out of kindness, and I am killing people now, not because I am possessed by the devil. Killing is to protect life, and to eliminate karma, not to kill people! They are possessed by the devil, and I am only saving their bodies that are troubled by desire and their souls that are bound by the devil."

The young monk raised his eyebrows slightly and lowered his head to chew on these words carefully.

"What a good saying: Killing is to protect life, and killing karma is not killing people. In this way, I have just fallen into the trap. Sorry."

"polite."

Fang Chen turned around and was about to leave, and the young monk followed closely behind him.

He used the Wind God Kick, but found that the opponent was also quite fast. He didn't know what kind of body movement he used, but it was still difficult to avoid.

After a while, he stopped.

"Why do you keep following me?"

The young monk put his palms together.

"Amitabha, I will also take this path."

"Are you going to Chuzhou Prefecture too?"

The young monk nodded.

"I am Huiwen, a poor monk, and I am going to Chuzhou Prefecture to participate in the martial arts conference in the name of my master to spread Buddhism."

"I see. I misunderstood this time."

"It's okay. I think you and I have some affinity. Why don't we go together?"

Fang Chen nodded.

"also may."

The two men then walked together, and soon they came to a hill. From afar, they saw bandits riding on large horses, holding machetes and long whips, slaughtering the fleeing civilians.

This time, before Fang Chen made a move, Hui Wen had already made his move.

"How dare you, evil creatures, harm others? Why don't you just surrender?"

He just stepped on the ground, and as light as a swallow, he jumped dozens of meters away in an instant, came in front of a bandit who was in the mood to kill, and raised his hand to slap him.

This palm was extremely strong and powerful. It hit the bandit's chest and flattened him. He flew backwards with blood spurting out, knocking down someone behind him.

Then he jumped onto another horse and took another person away with his palm.

In just a few breaths, all the bandits had been killed by him, and Fang Chen was casually absorbing all their essence and blood from behind.

Huiwen only killed the bandits but not the horses they were riding. After killing the bandits, he helped untie the saddles and reins of the horses one by one and let them go into the mountains and forests.

After doing all this, he headed straight for the hilltop. Wherever he passed, no bandits survived. As long as he saw them, they were all wiped out.

Fang Chen followed closely behind, and when he arrived at the mountain, the whole mountain had turned into a dead silent place. All the bandits had been killed, leaving no one alive.

He also released the chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep that the bandits had stolen, allowing them to escape into the mountains and forests.

Fang Chen couldn't help but feel a little funny.

This monk was reluctant to kill even an ant along the way. When he met bandits, he would kill them with pleasure. When he met small animals, he would release them on his own initiative. He was a typical man who hated evil.

It's quite interesting.
