They are emotionless and incredibly powerful, but Huang Wenxing seems to have been following them for quite some time without them noticing. It seems this refined-looking guy is not as simple as he appears.
Blood Guards don't have many complex emotions; in their minds, there is only obedience to their master's orders, and endless killing intent.
Huang Wenxing followed them without any apparent reason, which made them want to kill him.
"I'm really sorry to bother you like this." Huang Wenxing scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, noticing the hint of murderous intent in their eyes.
"I have just become human and am learning how to interact with humans. Please forgive me if I said anything inappropriate just now."
Huang Wenxing's heart is still relatively simple. He believes that getting along with others is a kind of goodness. Although he is not human, since he has become human, he should try to learn how to get along with others.
The two Blood Guards slowly raised their heads, exchanged a glance, and then, with perfect understanding, revealed their scimitars. One in front of the other, holding crescent-shaped blades, they bent forward, assuming an attack stance.
Suddenly, two figures flashed by, and in an instant, a sharp killing intent filled the surrounding area.
Two cold glints surged forth, attacking Huang Wenxing from the front and back.
He sighed helplessly and took a small step back, the murderous intent grazing his body.
With two sharp, thuds, the two large trees behind him were suddenly snapped in two. The force of those two curved blades was extremely strong; if they had struck him, even Huang Wenxing would probably not have been able to withstand it.
"Gentlemen, I was just doing this on someone's behalf, and I didn't mean anything by it."
"If you two step back now, everything will be fine. But if you two refuse to back down, then I'm sorry, I'm going to break the precept against killing today."
As Huang Wenxing spoke, he bowed deeply to the two of them and looked at them with an expectant expression.
His meaning was clear: he didn't want to kill anyone, nor did he want to cause a major conflict.
If the two people in front of him spare the black bear's family, everything will be fine. But if they are not easy to talk to, then sorry, Huang Wenxing doesn't consider himself someone who will be taken advantage of.
The two Blood Guards stared intently at Huang Wenxing with their crimson eyes, and then they moved.
The two men wielded their crescent-shaped blades, creating a flurry of swordplay as they swiftly attacked Huang Wenxing, their killing intent resurfacing once more.
This time, Huang Wenxing did not retreat. He just sighed helplessly and shook his head gently.
Then he strode forward, his body slightly arched, and in an instant, he became a blur, passing between the two blood guards.
With two soft "poof" sounds, the bodies of the two Blood Guards froze in place.
Huang Wenxing slowly left the place, and behind him, two blood guards had two transparent holes in their chests, and they slowly fell to the ground.
"Immortal, the matter has been resolved." Inside the villa, Huang Wenxing met with Ye Xingchen alone.
"Hmm, you killed someone?" Qingchen slowly raised her head and glanced at Huang Wenxing.
"Yes." Huang Wenxing nodded gently.
"How does it feel to kill someone?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"It feels... great, and there's a strange sense of excitement." Huang Wenxing pondered and said, "In short, I feel like my whole body is boiling, and I even have an irresistible urge to act."
“You’ve just transformed into human form, and at this moment, the thing you can’t control most is your desires,” Ye Xingchen said. “Especially the blood flowing through your body, which will make you boil.”
"If I were you, I would try my best to control my emotions and my desire to kill."
"Immortal... I shouldn't have killed anyone, right?" Huang Wenxing asked blankly.
"It's not that you shouldn't kill, but that you need to suppress your urge to kill." Ye Xingchen shook his head: "Throughout history, countless demons have cultivated human form, but they haven't been able to achieve enlightenment. Do you know why?"
"Because not many demon spirits can withstand the Nine Heavenly Tribulations," Huang Wenxing said.
"That's one point," Ye Xingchen said. "But the most crucial point is that not many demon spirits can withstand the arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation before being wiped out by human cultivators."
Do you know why?
“Because they do evil, because they abuse their magical powers.” Huang Wenxing pondered for a moment and said, “Those who do evil will not live.”
“That’s right. Humans are the most intelligent of all beings, and this world has its own order.” Ye Xingchen nodded slightly. “So you must control your desires. If you can’t control your desires, you will gradually walk into the abyss, and by then it will be too late to regret it.”
"I understand, Mr. Ye. Thank you for your guidance. I will definitely restrain my desires in the future." Huang Wenxing nodded slightly and bowed deeply to Ye Xingchen.
"Do you know why I enlightened you back then? It's because you are different from other demons and spirits, and your comprehension is extremely high." Ye Xingchen smiled and said, "Given time, you will definitely achieve something, and even attaining enlightenment and getting rid of this demonic aura is not impossible."
"Yes, I understand." Huang Wenxing maintained an extremely humble attitude.
"It's good that you understand. You don't have to be so careful in this world. Some people deserve to be killed, so don't be polite to them," Ye Xingchen said.
Huang Wenxing left, and Liu Qingmei walked in.
The way she looked at Ye Xingchen was somewhat strange.
"If you have any questions, just ask them. Don't look at me like that, it feels weird," Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
"You're quite good at making empty promises to people, no, to demons. Do you know how difficult it is for a demon to achieve enlightenment?" Liu Qingmei said.
"I know." Ye Xingchen nodded and said, "The chance of a demon spirit cultivator getting rid of this demonic aura and achieving enlightenment is less than one in ten thousand."
"Even if one is lucky enough to survive the ninth heavenly tribulation, the heavenly tribulation that demon spirits endure is several times greater than that of human cultivators, and almost none of them can withstand it."
“Yes, so what else could you be talking to him about but empty promises?” Liu Qingmei said.
"Then how do you expect me to tell him? Tell him that you are a demon spirit with zero chance of resisting the calamity of the world, and that no matter how diligent you are, you will eventually be reduced to ashes?" Ye Xingchen said with a smile, "Huang Wenxing is not a bad person by nature. I want to guide him onto the right path."
"Even if we can't achieve a happy ending in the future, at least he can have goodwill towards this world, and that's enough."
“Good intentions…” Liu Qingmei frowned, pondering the meaning behind Ye Xingchen’s words.
