421: Chapter 421 Shattering the Awakened Soul with One Punch, Brother Jiang, I'm a Civilized Man

Jiang You's voice echoed in the empty cave, carrying a numbness and vicissitude that had seen through life and death.

"However, rather than calling this a reward bestowed by the heavens, it is more like a punishment sent from above."

He looked at the flickering campfire before him. The firelight reflected on his distinct, cold profile, but it could not disperse the thick haze in the depths of his eyes.

"The gushing forth of powerhouses and geniuses was like a flood that suddenly broke its dam, dealing a devastating blow to the original framework of the world."

"Laws became waste paper, and morality became a laughingstock."

"Those ordinary people who were struggling at the bottom suddenly mastered the power to destroy cities overnight, and their desires became like wild horses without reins, completely out of control."

A mocking sneer curled the corner of Jiang You's mouth:

"Some people, relying on their peerless talent, began to slaughter ordinary people unscrupulously."

"They trampled on the original laws of the world from a high position, even styling themselves as gods of the new world, harvesting human lives like grass just to satisfy their pathetic vanity and tyrannical desires."

"The order of the Blue Star collapsed completely in those few days. Thousands of people died every day, cities turned into ruins, and blood stained every street."

Hearing this, The Fourth Princess couldn't help but shiver.

She originally thought the rebellion and slaughter in the Great Zhou Dynasty imperial city were cruel enough, but compared to the crazy world in Jiang You's words where the heavens and earth were destroyed at every turn and human lives were treated like grass, the commotion in Great Zhou was simply child's play.

"However, human beings as a species are sometimes quite admirable."

Jiang You turned the firewood in his hand, his tone adding a rare trace of respect:

"Even if the world had turned into hell, there were always those tough-boned powerhouses. They firmly guarded their bottom lines and principles as humans, throwing themselves into the meat grinder of reshaping world order and rebuilding Blue Star civilization, one after another."

"And I, I suppose, am doing something similar to them."

Jiang You paused.

He raised his head, and in those deep eyes, the former indifference and calm had long vanished, replaced by a biased and violent streak that made people shudder.

"It's just that I am different from them."

Jiang You's voice turned cold suddenly, every word like ice shards squeezed from between his teeth:

"When dealing with those beasts who have fallen into madness, reasoning is useless."

"My rule is simple: fight violence with violence, kill until they feel fear, kill until they kneel on the ground to admit their mistakes!"

He would never forget how his friends and relatives died miserably at the hands of those so-called "Awakened."

From that moment on, his personality completely turned toward bias and extremism.

He didn't need salvation; he only needed pure destruction.

He used the most cruel methods to drag those self-righteous "Chosen Ones," who thought they could do whatever they wanted after awakening mythical-level Supernatural Ability, down from their altars one by one.

Then, in front of everyone, he snapped their spines!

He trampled their pride to pieces!

And it was precisely because he had witnessed Jiang You's crazy slaughter, which was like an Asura descending to the world, that the old fox Imperial Preceptor Wen Wangshan had been scared out of his wits.

Even though Imperial Preceptor Wen Wangshan now held absolute power in the Great Zhou Dynasty, held imperial authority, and was followed by several terrifying sixth-order peak puppets, he still hid in a dark corner like a rat in a sewer, not daring to show his head.

Because Imperial Preceptor Wen Wangshan had truly been beaten by Jiang You!

If he hadn't desperately torn open space to escape, he would have been beaten to death by Jiang You long ago!

Jiang You's punch back then almost knocked his life's memories out of him!

Imperial Preceptor Wen Wangshan sobered up right then.

Smashing the Awakened Soul with one punch, Brother Jiang, I am a civilized man!

Therefore, Imperial Preceptor Wen Wangshan knew better than anyone that once bitten by this mad dog Jiang You, no matter what trump cards you had, the only outcome was to be torn into pieces alive!

"Snap."

Jiang You casually broke the thick branch he was holding into two and threw it into the campfire without expression.

The tongues of fire suddenly shot up, greedily swallowing the firewood, making a crackling sound.

"In that world which was like a meat grinder of flesh and blood, if you want to survive, if you want to protect the last shred of principle in your Heart."

Jiang You suddenly raised his head, and from his cold face, an arrogance and coldness that looked down on the world and treated all things like straw dogs erupted:

"You can only step on the bones of those self-righteous SSS-level geniuses!"

"Step by step, climb to the top of everyone!"

"Trample their pride into the mud, and rely on your own fists and power to beat out a new world without noise!"

Accompanied by Jiang You's words.

The long-suppressed violent energy in his Heart surged like a flood that broke its dam at this moment!

"Hum!"

The air in the cave instantly became extremely heavy.

A terrifying murderous intent overflowed from Jiang You's body uncontrollably.

On the hard rock walls around, fine cracks silently spread under this invisible pressure.

The campfire, which was burning vigorously, was suppressed by this aura, its flames flickering and almost extinguishing on the spot.

Jiang You's emotions became somewhat out of control, his breathing slightly rapid, and the faint blue light in his eyes jumping wildly.

Just at the critical moment when this murderous aura was about to completely overturn the entire cave, a pair of small hands, slightly cool but extremely soft, suddenly reached out.

The Fourth Princess was not scared away by this murderous aura that could make ordinary people's livers and gallbladders split.

Without any hesitation, she leaned forward and gently held Jiang You's slightly twisted cheeks with her small hands.

Then, she leaned forward and gently pressed Jiang You's head onto her thin but warm shoulder.

"Alright, alright, it's okay now."

The Fourth Princess gently patted Jiang You's back with one hand, her soft and crisp voice filled not with fear, but with overflowing heartache and tenderness:

"Those bad guys have all been defeated by you, you don't have to work so hard anymore."

"Be good, Jiang You, don't be angry anymore."

The air pressure in the cave suddenly relaxed, and the dying campfire flared up again with a "whoosh."

Jiang You froze in place, being hugged and patted on the back by a girl who only reached his chin.

In his violent eyes, a flash of deep astonishment and trance flickered.

What is this?

The peerless killing god who makes the Blue Star martial arts world tremble, the great devil king who shook the sixth-order master.

Now being smoothed out by a little girl with words like "be good"?!

Feeling the temperature from the small hands on his cheeks, listening to the girl's slightly chaotic but sincere heartbeat.

Jiang You's Heart, wrapped in hard ice, missed a beat.

He raised his head in a trance and glanced at The Fourth Princess.

Looking at her small face, stained with some dust but still breathtakingly beautiful, filled with defenseless heartache for him.

The corners of Jiang You's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

A curve that even he hadn't noticed quietly wanted to rise at the corner of his mouth.

But he reacted extremely quickly, using his powerful facial muscle control to forcefully suppress the smile that was about to break his composure.
