Lin Yu frowned but did not follow immediately.
If he leaves, there will probably be no one present who can match Lao Jiu!
"Young Marshal, you go ahead, leave this to me! Don't worry, no matter if he's the Ninth or the Eighth, I'll definitely take him down today!" Feng Jiu said through gritted teeth, while taking out a pill from her bosom and stuffing it into her mouth.
This is a pill that Lin Yu refined earlier that increases attack power tenfold!
Lin Yu was slightly taken aback; it seemed that Feng Jiu was preparing to go all in.
However, this is also a good thing, because only in the face of life and death can there be a major breakthrough.
This kid has been stuck at the peak of the Grandmaster level for a long time, it's time for him to break through!
Furthermore, since Lao Jiu is now seriously injured, and with the Serpent Fist being ten times more powerful, Feng Jiu might not be without a chance of winning.
"Okay, then it's up to you!"
Lin Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Remember, your life is the most important thing! Don't push yourself too hard!"
"Young Marshal, don't worry!" Feng Jiu stared intently at Lao Jiu, her eyes filled with intense fighting spirit.
Having just suffered a setback at Lao Jiu's hands, he desperately wanted to get his revenge.
Lin Yu shook his head helplessly, ignored him, and quickly chased after the figure on the horizon.
Whew!
With the whistling wind in his ears, Lin Yu followed Li Nan to the outskirts of the city, into a vast, empty wilderness.
There was a rushing river next to it!
Li Nan stood by the river, hands behind his back!
Lin Yu slowly landed, walked over, and stood side by side with him.
Neither of them made a move immediately!
“Young man, to be honest, your talent is enviable! When I was your age, I was far from reaching your level!” Li Nan said, showing a hint of appreciation for his talent.
Lin Yu glanced at him. "Are the undead this polite? Before fighting, do they have to lick their opponent's boots?"
Li Nan smiled. "In my eyes, there are no absolute enemies, nor absolute friends! If you join the Undead Clan, I can wipe the slate clean of all past grievances. Once the North is pacified, I will give you half of the land!"
Lin Yu sneered, "Such big ambitions? Aren't you afraid of overreaching?"
Li Nan sneered disdainfully, "When the Undead Clan was at its most glorious, even the Divine Blood had to temporarily give way. What we are doing now is not a rise, but a revival!"
Lin Yu shook his head. "Rejuvenation is a false proposition! Over tens of thousands of years, fortunes have changed. Which family hasn't had one or two outstanding figures in its ancestors? According to you, overthrowing the Qing and restoring the Ming should have succeeded, but facts have proven that the winds of the west bank can never blow back to the east bank!"
Li Nan turned around and glanced at him. "Young man, a wise man submits to circumstances! Even if you are now a young master of a region, to put it bluntly, you are just working for the Divine Blood! But do you know what state the Divine Blood is in now? Their bloodline has already declined, and there is no solution to this problem. In just a few generations, their bloodline will be eliminated, and their rule will collapse! Coupled with the corruption of the eight great clans, the Great Xia is now teetering on the brink of collapse! Why don't we go with the flow?"
Lin Yu chuckled, "You've got the problem mixed up. As far as I know, the Divine Blood doesn't participate in politics. Their existence is merely a stabilizing force! That's precisely what I admire about them! As for the aristocratic clans, that's a disease of the nation, not a disease of society or the times. The root of this disease is five thousand years of corrupt Confucian culture, a remnant of feudalism, and the inherent inferiority of the human race!"
"The greater a person's desires and ambitions, the more their inherent flaws will be exploited! If you were really allowed to sit on this throne, I think you might be even more outrageous than the aristocratic families!" Lin Yu analyzed calmly.
Emperors, in ancient times called sages! How could they occupy such high positions without the virtues of Confucius and Mencius! In this world, those who act for their own selfish desires, once they gain power, will inevitably bring disaster to the people!
Li Nan was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and said, "If a man doesn't look out for himself, he'll be doomed! The common people are nothing but ants, why bother with them? In our current situation, who would dare to act recklessly? If anyone dares to act recklessly, then kill them! Killing a million people is the mark of a hero! I've always believed that from top to bottom, only violence can achieve rule! Just like you said, everyone has ambition. They won't be satisfied with just a steamed bun! Give them a steamed bun, and they'll want Nongfu Spring water; give them Nongfu Spring water, and they'll want chocolate; give them chocolate, and they'll want a house, a car, and a wife. No matter what kind of distribution mechanism you use, you can't please everyone. It's better to just slap them and then give them a sweet treat!"
Lin Yu chuckled. "Good heavens! I really suspect that Qin Shi Huang isn't dead, but has possessed you! The difference between humans and animals lies in their different needs. You can breathe air while you're alive, so why should you deprive others of their right to breathe? Just because you have the power to look down on all living beings? If everyone did what you think, using killing to stop killing, this world would be forever in war! People's hearts would become increasingly evil, just as the Buddhist scriptures say, in the end, even a three-year-old child could kill, and even a blade of grass could be a weapon! At that time, what can be called civilization?"
Li Nan was slightly taken aback, then shook his head. "Nothing lasts forever. The change of dynasties is a perfectly normal thing. You're just worrying unnecessarily!"
"No, I simply possess a sense of awe!"
Lin Yu denied it, saying, "Only with reverence can there be compassion; only with compassion can there be love; only with love can one regard the people as one's own children and all living beings as one's parents! Knowing gratitude and being grateful—this is the way of humanity, the great way!"
Li Nan gave him a deep look. "As expected of the chosen one who received the Human Emperor's inheritance, but to be honest, we of the higher bloodlines find it hard to agree with this kind of saintly heart!"
"Tigers won't sympathize with goats, and those who live in the heavens certainly don't understand human suffering!" Lin Yu said calmly. "We have different positions and can't understand each other. There's no point in saying more, let's fight!"
Li Nan shook his head, gazing at the surging river, and said calmly, "The wheels of history keep turning, and no one has the right to stop them! Young man, haven't you heard the saying 'go with the flow'?"
"Go with the flow?"
Lin Yu's lips curled into a cold smile. Whoosh!
He simply stretched out his hands, and the rushing river froze instantly, as if it were frozen!
brush!
He exerted his strength again, and the frozen river water actually cascaded upwards, rushing back upstream!
Li Nan's pupils contracted slightly, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes!
He knew this boy was highly skilled, but he never expected that he would possess the power to fight against nature.
In this world, only saints can change the rules and defy nature! Ordinary semi-saints could never possess such power!
Lin Yu said calmly, "In any era, there is no shortage of people who go against the tide! The change of dynasties and the turning of the gears of history are precisely because of them! We cultivators fight against the heavens, against the earth, and against the laws! Until we shatter the vacuum! This is the true nature!"
A tremendous sound seemed to resound throughout the universe, boom! The next second, the ice river thawed and flowed downstream again, but now the surging waves shimmered and sparkled, as if they had been given life!
Because it once went against the current, it is extraordinary!
