"How can you send someone to the village to buy something?" My mother's face was not very good-looking, and the bodyguard next to me hurriedly interjected: "I shouldn't have been seen, I was very careful when I went shopping." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the earth beast in charge of guarding suddenly hissed, my face changed, and I hurriedly went up the stairs to the sentry platform, calmed down the screaming earth beast and looked into the distance, and saw a black car parked not far from the stronghold, because the surrounding land was bought by me and the fat man to ambush the mechanism, so the vision is very broad. Usually no one approaches, and the occasional few villagers passing by will not cause a violent reaction from the earth beasts.

When the black car opened the door, I saw two big men in black walking down, but I didn't see the figure of the old man. One of the big men took a few steps forward, holding a wooden stick and a piece of cloth in his hands. Mother and Hao Tingyun also walked over and looked outside.

"What is he doing here?" Mother asked curiously.

At this moment, the other party stood still, inserted the wooden stick on the ground, and then put the cloth piece in his other hand on the other end of the wooden stick, the wind blew, the flag was waving in the wind, and the pattern on it was the totem symbol of the Haotian family!

"That's our Haotian family's Divine Hammer Totem, he's declaring war and provoking you!" Hao Tingyun said in surprise.

"I don't need to say that I saw it too." As I spoke, I took a few steps back and walked over to the chest where the Demon Hunter's Crossbow was kept.

In fact, my stronghold should be safe, the owner of Sanfu Tea House and I are old friends, and they specially helped me and blocked the news about my stronghold, and many vendors on the road did not dare to talk casually, for fear of losing their jobs. I was going to rest here for a few days, and it was impossible for the other party to be undetected, but there was a buffer period of a few days to allow me to be more prepared. But I didn't expect my mother's bodyguard to go shopping in the nearby village, and he must have found out. He thought he wasn't being watched, but people didn't even need people to follow him, rune paper, earth beast goblins, and there were more things that could track him.

Now that the stronghold has been discovered much earlier than I expected, I am only halfway through my preparations, and now I can only bite the bullet.

What does it mean to plant a flag in front of someone's house? This is nakedly slapping me in the face, Elder Qian's trick is ruthless enough, and the provocations have come to my doorstep! Where can I endure it? The demon hunting crossbow was raised high, and the explosive arrow was loaded and aimed at the flag in the distance, but at this moment, Hao Tingyun next to me took my hand and didn't let me pull the trigger, and then said: "If you destroy the flag of our Haotian family, it is equivalent to an official war." ”

"I know." This is why Elder Qian found an excuse to officially start a war with me, to suppress people and force me to take action. He can also send Deadpool to kill me in the open, so that he doesn't fall into the mouth of the tongue later. In fact, everyone knows the Tao here, but the form still needs to be followed.

I was holding the Demon Hunting Crossbow, already aiming, and I didn't pull the trigger for a long time after Hao Tingyun's words came out, when Deadpool, the person holding the flag below, suddenly showed a gloomy sneer at me, and then reached out and made a threatening gesture of slicing open and revealed. I have been provoked to this point, how can I endure it anymore!

An explosive arrow whistled out, and a few seconds after pulling the trigger, the explosive arrow accurately hit the flag, and then exploded instantly on the land behind the flag, blowing up the flag of the Haotian family! The two Deadpools dodged quickly and were not affected, and the ground was charred black, and the shattered flags were scattered all over the ground. The two Deadpools saw that their purpose had been achieved and turned to leave, but at that moment, the spraying faucet buried in the ground near the house rose up, and the fuel splattered out with the faucet. At this point, I activated the defenses around the stronghold, and the fuel-drenched car did not dare to ignite it, and several Deadpools noticed that something was wrong and hurriedly stepped out of the car to leave. But at this moment, another explosive arrow drew a long trajectory in the air, and finally hit the fuel-covered car, and the flames burst up, and soon set the entire car on fire, and then a terrifying explosion sounded, and Deadpool, who had not had time to escape too far, was also affected and was blown into several corpses!

I put away my Demon Hunting Crossbow, stopped the trap, and began to turn into a sprinkler faucet, dousing the flames.

Looking at the flames burning outside the stronghold, my mother looked back at me, and I took a cigarette in my mouth and said, "What's wrong?" ”

I could see the horror in her eyes, and I knew that what had just happened shook her. In a matter of minutes, several lives disappeared from the world, and I was so calm that I felt like I was fine.

"You...... Just killed someone......" she muttered.

"Someone will take care of it, don't worry." As I spoke, I picked up the phone and called 507, and someone should be coming to clean up the body soon.

"But you've killed someone! How can you be so calm after killing someone? That's a living human life, not a monster or a ghost or anything! She looked at me and raised her voice a few degrees, as if she thought I was a terrible monster.

"So you see? I'm not someone who can inherit your company, and I'm not someone who will nod to you if I just give you a little sweetness. If you think I'm a monster, I'm a monster already. With that, I turned and walked back to my room, leaving behind a group of dull-faced men on the sentry post in the gale.

Today's provocation is just the beginning, and the real event will come later. I speculated in my heart that about tonight at the earliest, tomorrow night at the latest, the people of the Haotian family will arrive, and there is not much time for me to prepare.

Hao Tingyun saw the charred corpse and was a little wrong, and after returning to the room, he kept it covered and didn't come out, I walked to the door and knocked several times in a row, but I didn't hear any sound inside. Feeling that something was wrong, I forcibly opened the door and saw Hao Tingyun shivering and hiding in the corner, wrapped in a futon, and trembling all over. I walked over and tried to pull the bedding off him, but he held on to it.

"Because you are scared like this when you see a corpse? Get up, I need your help! I shouted.

"You're an executioner, too, and I don't want Deadpool to lose their lives for nothing, but you...... You ......" He turned blue and trembled as he clutched the futon.

I looked down on him from the bottom of my heart, and everything went wrong made me extremely irritable, so I subconsciously grabbed his neck and pressed him against the wall. He looked at me in horror, with a faint tear glistening in the corners of his eyes, and he didn't have much strength to grab my wrist! I opened my mouth and shouted, "How long are you going to run away?" ”

This sentence vibrated in his ears like a roaring thunder, and he looked back at me in surprise, and I roared: "You were born in a family of swords and swords, and you have been at the heart of this river and lake since the day you landed!" It's your fate, killing, being killed, practicing spells, practicing the Dao, these are all things you have to do! It's something you have to learn! Do you spend all day hiding under a safe umbrella thinking you'll be able to spend your life in peace? Tell you, no way! You think I don't know why you're coming to me? Why do you want to tell me my family's secrets? In fact, that is the rebellion in your heart against your past self, and you are actually disgusted with such yourself, right? ”

These words, especially the last few sentences, were not only addressed to him, but also to myself. I also don't want to be seen as a monster, and I don't want to be a horrible madman in the eyes of others, an executioner who kills people like a lot and has no worries. But I can't help it, even if you don't kill others in this world, others will come and kill you!

Isn't I the same as him on some level? We all have to accept our fate, he wants to escape from the Haotian family, escape from this river and lake to be an ordinary person, no blood corpses, no killing and fighting. Why shouldn't I? Back then, I wanted to retire from the rivers and lakes, but after the Ling family's incident, from that day on, I had no way to turn over and leave. But I wasn't as cowardly as he was, huddled in a corner, and I chose to be a monster in the eyes of others, because at least that would protect me! It is precisely because of this that I look down on him even more, and I look down on Hao Tingyun, who is luckier than me but still keeps running away.

"I ...... I just don't want to see someone die, so why should I suffer this sin? The tears in his eyes finally fell uncontrollably, and I let go of my hand, and he slowly sat down on the ground along the wall, covering his face and crying bitterly. I let out a long sigh, squatted down and said, "I am helping you to help the weak side of my heart, and if you help me, you are helping yourself to resist the terrible family." We are already people in the same boat, and you don't want to see more people die, so help me defeat the Haotian family together and let this matter end smoothly. Otherwise, you will not be saved. ”

He looked up at me with teary eyes, sobbed and asked, "What the hell are you going to make me do?" ”

I patted him on the shoulder and said solemnly and firmly: "You are the eldest young master of the Haotian family, you must know the secret of the Haotian family's Deadpool, tell me everything you know, we must know ourselves and know each other, in order to win a hundred battles." ”
