Chapter 24: The trouble with war
With a pull, the chopsticks in Li Ke's hand were pulled out, bringing out a large amount of blood, allowing this brainless guy to see himself clearly.
He pointed at Li Ke with a stiff expression, then looked at the blood splattered on his hands, then his eyes widened, and he fell to the ground and kept pulling out.
Li Ke cut through the stiff sword blades, threw the chopsticks aside with a sneer, and looked at the young master lying on the ground with blood all over his face, and couldn't help but speak.
"Now he looks quite handsome."
His words chilled the hearts of those around him. Although it was normal for a swordsman to kill someone over a disagreement, but...
Can this really be considered a good-looking person?
Everyone looked at the face that was originally handsome but now extremely hideous and constantly twitching, and turned their heads away for fear of having nightmares at night.
Li Ke didn't care what these people thought, but looked at the person who suddenly tried to stop him.
One was a young man with a standard samurai hairstyle, a topknot, and it was he who drew his sword to block his own weapon.
The other one was an old man with gray hair and an old face, and it was the one he had just aimed at his arm .
"Hey, did you know that this man is from a noble family, in charge of the taxes of two villages, has two fleets, and is the son of your dojo's sponsor?"
The old man looked at the young man lying on the ground and shook his head slightly, lamenting that a young life was lost in this way, but he did not mean to blame Li Ke too much.
He saw everything that just happened. Li Ke’s counterattack was completely normal in Ionia.
In fact, when insulting the master, it is reasonable to kill. Not to mention that this guy also sneak attacked Li Ke and almost succeeded.
"Huh? Then I think I understand what's going on."
Li Ke took a look at the family crest on the dead swordsman and roughly understood the reason.
The other party obviously made their fortune from the fleet, and they usually support Elder Su Ma in order to ensure his safety. There are many such sponsors in their dojo, and the disciples of Yufeng Sword Technique have indeed gone back to protect their industry.
However, Li Ke knew very well that Elder Su Ma's disciples had never been out to sea, and most of them went to the courtyards of other elders and nobles to maintain safety.
Combined with the fact that someone previously wanted Elder Suma to stop the Noxian fleet, it is obvious that the family behind this guy is the one who wants Elder Suma to stop the Noxians.
Because the Noxian fleet would blockade all Ionian ships, their fleet would naturally be unable to trade, and there was even the risk of being robbed or destroyed by the Noxians.
Those who gave money will naturally feel that their money was wasted and will naturally dislike Elder Su Ma.
However, this is not true.
Because Elder Suma has said many times that his disciples will only protect the peace of one area and will not involve other places. Every time he accepts funding, he will remind those people of this.
But those people still felt that some money would make Elder Suma obey them, and they even felt resentment after Elder Suma clearly refused.
"This incident was indeed an accident, but it was also a conflict that was bound to happen. Even if I don't kill him now, after the war breaks out, he will still resent Elder Suma for not wanting to stop the Noxian fleet."
Li Ke put the sword back into its scabbard, but remained wary of the two men.
“So, even if I don’t kill him now, his family will no longer live in harmony with Elder Suma.”
The old man who tried to stop him sighed slightly.
"But if people are not dead, there will always be room for improvement."
Li Ke didn't care. Although it was a bit embarrassing to kill the financial sponsor, he didn't think that if he continued to tolerate it, he would have no good ending.
"Their family can come and take revenge on me, because they don't have the courage to seek revenge from Elder Suma. As for those who come to kill me?"
A disdainful smile appeared on Li Ke's face.
"They could try."
He has the ability to simulate the future to a certain extent, plus the ability to quickly become stronger. As long as there are not hundreds of people coming to attack him at the beginning, or there is no master like Mei Mu, there is no way he can die.
As long as you are careful enough and keep simulating, you will not be ambushed.
Thinking of this, Li Ke couldn't help scratching his head. Looking at the corpse on the ground, he felt that this situation was very troublesome.
Just go all out...
"It's so troublesome, why not just kill their whole family..."
The young man who was drinking water suddenly spat out a mouthful of water. He looked at Li Ke in surprise. Not only did he remain calm after killing someone in front of him and his father, but he even said in front of them that he wanted to kill the whole family?
Really brave.
The old man was also surprised by Li Ke's idea, but he did not show that much surprise. Instead, he shook his head helplessly.
"That's not necessary, because his entire family was killed by the Noxians . He is the last one left in his family."
He received intelligence that this man's entire family was killed by Noxians at sea, not to mention his father and mother, all his fellow tribesmen within three generations died. He was the only one who had to stay at home to look after the house, and he barely survived.
Why does he know so much?
Because the negative emotions of this young man have begun to affect his spiritual world. If he continues to be filled with hatred and grief, another huge demon will appear here.
The natural balance here had been destroyed once and could not be destroyed again. So the disciples of the Balance Sect gave him enough information and let him handle the matter.
otherwise……
He was about to kill innocent people to calm the fluctuations in his spiritual realm.
"So miserable?"
Li Ke was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect it to be like this. In this way, it seemed "excusable" that this person would hate him so much and even want to kill him.
But Li Ke still sneered.
"But what does his misery have to do with me?"
If this young man asked for help as a sponsor, it is not impossible for Li Ke to take the young man for revenge after he becomes strong enough. After all, he is the sponsor as well as the victim, so Li Ke, the sponsored person, will still take action.
But, what a pity.
He chose to vent his anger by a surprise attack and killing him to vent his anger, and Li Ke didn't know his identity beforehand.
Therefore, Li Ke's sword will not hesitate.
"War..."
The old man sighed slightly. This is what war is like. Even if it hasn't arrived yet, just approaching can bring countless suffering and hatred.
And when the war really comes, such things will happen one after another.
