Chapter 154:
Don’t be so sentintal, child.
If soone else were to say such old-fashioned and condescending words, Hu Han, with his temper, would not be able to resist punching them in the face.
After all, Hu Han was already a middle-aged man in his forties. In the Great Yan Imperial Court, people his age might already have grandchildren.
Regardless of seniority, experience, or status in the martial arts world, he was no longer a small role.
The person who can say this is Qiao Shuanglin.
An old man who is over ninety years old.
Age is not the most important thing. There are many old people who are not respected. If we only rely on age, it’s impossible for Hu Han to respect him.
Qiao Shuanglin is not only over ninety years old, but he was also mistaken by him as a dirty old man who was about to be held down in the street. While Hu Han was running away, he didn’t hold a grudge and helped several pedestrians who were almost involved in the fight.
With such actions and such a character, what’s wrong with calling him a child from a superior position?
Hu Han didn’t feel insulted.
On the contrary, he even felt ashad.
He was ashad because he helped out with righteousness, but almost accused an old man, ruining his reputation.
He was ashad because in tis of danger, he only cared about saving himself, while the old man who was almost falsely accused by him was able to step forward and help others. In Hu Han’ view, it was just human nature to only think about saving oneself, so he didn’t think he was wrong.
The mud statue forgot about saving itself when facing danger and couldn’t afford to care about others either.
His actions cannot be considered wrong. Perhaps no one can bla him… except for those who sacrifice themselves to save others.
However, Qiao Shuanglin didn’t criticize him for not saving people from a superior position. It was Hu Han who compared himself to others and suddenly felt ashad, as if he had beco shorter out of nowhere.
Regardless of the era or the world, individuals who can sacrifice themselves to save others in tis of danger are a rarity and will undoubtedly earn the respect of others.
Like the Qiao’s family in the past, Qiao Shuanglin’s reputation in the Imperial Capital was almost tainted, and he was also the sa.
"Mr. Qiao repays resentnt with virtue, displaying great righteousness!" He respectfully raised his fists and bowed to the old man who had his back turned towards him.
Whether this old man repays resentnt with virtue or has other motives, judging by actions rather than intentions, no one can criticize such behavior, because even Hu Han, who claims to be a chivalrous hero, cannot do it.
"Go, go, go! Stop behaving dramatically here! It would be better if you go away." Qiao Mu impatiently waved his hand, not staying at all, and his figure swooped across like a large bird once again. This ti, he used his own flesh and blood chest to block several fleeing civilians.
Qiao Mu doesn’t feel like he is repaying resentnt with virtue.
Because saving people and holding grudges are not contradictory.
He didn’t have the ti to carefully identify the people in the crowd who had insulted him earlier, and then choose whether or not to save them…
This isn’t important.
Qiao Mu, instead of seeking revenge, was a very good friend. He would keep a special list of trusted friends in his heart and visit each of them after he died, guiding them on their way.
Once Qiao Shuanglin, who was involved in the situation, died, Qiao Mu could re-enter the scene as an outsider and resolve the situation.
"Don’t try to justify or be blindly moved, because once this matter is resolved, I will personally report those responsible behind the scenes."
As a thought flashed through Qiao Mu’s mind, he swiftly crossed the market square.
The invisible icy whirlwind created by the cultivator was indomitable, and Qiao Mu didn’t know how to defend against it. He could only use his own body to resist.
However, the cost of doing so was that his strong physical abilities were easily shattered, leaving a series of wounds that quickly chilled with frost before any blood had a chance to flow.
Using your own body to block is a very inefficient thod.
After all, Qiao Mu’s body is not a tall wall, how can it withstand the cold and the whirlwind?
He can only save a portion of the people, while more people helplessly get swept away by the cold, their bodies rapidly freezing and then shattering into ice shards under the wind blades.
"It’s easier to kill than to save, so why not solve the problem at its root…"
He looked up at the sky.
The two rainbows collided rapidly, and with each collision, a surge of cold air swept out.
Dao Xu had obviously started a fire, her entire focus was on suppressing her junior, not paying much attention to the casualties at the market.
The punishnt from the sect is a future matter, now that things have escalated, whether one stops or not, they will face the sect’s punishnt. It’s better to just go all out.
Both Dao Zhen and Dao Xu were of similar cultivation level, but now that Dao Xu has obtained a formidable new weapon and is using her full power, it naturally puts Dao Zhen at a disadvantage, forcing him into a defensive position.
In the midst of a strong wind.
Qiao Mu reached out and grabbed a pole that was blown next to him.
Holding the pole with one hand, he took a deep breath. Suddenly, a surge of internal strength burst from his arm as he swung it towards the sky.
Whoosh!
The pole acted like a spear, piercing through the air and swiftly heading towards Dao Xu, who was floating in the sky.
However, before it could touch Dao Xu’s body, it quickly frosted and froze in mid-air, shattering into icy fragnts.
This attack caught Dao Xu’s attention.
She looked down from above, her gaze slightly chilling, clearly displeased.
"Where did this mortal co from?"
She noticed the mortal’s act of saving soone below, but she didn’t care. Dao Xu’s attention was mostly focused on her junior brother.
Qiao Mu also ignored her.
He just wanted to get the attention of these two cultivators.
"Dao Zhen," he shouted loudly.
"Don’t you want this matter to beco too big and end without resolution? Let
help you take care of this crazy woman, how about that?"
Qiao Mu easily defeated the 3rd rank Spirit Refining martial artist, Sword Ghost. But now, his target was Dao Xu, who was in the air.
He was naturally very arrogant.
Even Hu Han, who had previously fled far away, couldn’t help but turn back and look at Qiao Mu, feeling shaken.
In a ti when even Martial Saints were dying miserably, there were still martial artists who were not afraid of death, challenging sothing inhuman?
Just the aftermath of their fight swept through the entire market, freezing Qiao Mu multiple tis until he could unleash the Heavenly Demon Disintegration thod and break free. Anyone with eyes could see the difference in their strength.
With such a boastful attitude, it could only anger Dao Xu.
"Elder Lao, are you really not seeking revenge?" Hu Han felt a shock in his heart.
"This is clearly knowingly walking into danger. Trading his own life to buy ti for others to escape."
"This is the Imperial Capital market. I’m sure the battle between the two Great Dao Sect cultivators won’t last too long. It won’t be long before people from the Immortal Gate co to stop them."
"Elder Lao is powerful. The aftermath of their fight won’t endanger his life… He didn’t have to die."
