Chapter 112 Killing Demons and Monsters, and Even More so Killing “People”

World of Martial Arts is the third simulation of Xu series.

The people here.

Mortals here.

It is the most miserable life among the three simulated worlds.

In the world of cultivating immortals, mortals and cultivators are separated from each other and are ruled by normal mortal dynasties. Only occasionally, cultivators will come and pick away children with spiritual roots.

And from time to time, kind-hearted immortal cultivators mercifully save people and protect the common people.

In the magical world, steam and magic run through the entire civilization. Mages have their place, and mortals have their needs. The two are like closely meshed gears, moving forward together.

And the state of the martial arts world is very bad.

Ordinary people here don't even have the right to decide their own life or death.

Xu Xi asked the townspeople of Qingniu Town, or went to other towns to talk to other people and learn about their past.

Very unexpected.

Most people have lived in the Thirteen Prefectures of Daqian.

It was only because of his humble status or offending high-ranking officials that he was exiled to the junction of Shiwan Mountain.

The younger generation like Zhang Tieniu was born on the border and has no understanding of life inside Daqian.

The Hundred Thousand Mountains are dangerous and the demons are bloodthirsty and brutal.

A steady stream of monsters will mercilessly destroy everyone on the border until they are all eaten up, and a new batch of "sinful people" will be transported by the army.

Start a new round of never-ending reincarnation.

"Brother Xu, is what the people in the city eat also demon meat?"

"Aniu, why do you suddenly ask this?"

"Hehehe, my mother said there are a lot of delicious food in the city, and white rice tastes better than us."

"...Compared to what we ate, it is indeed much better, and the rice is also fine."

"Wow~~~ It's so good. I also want to eat sweet white rice."

The sky was overcast and the wind was freezing.

The trees swayed in the wind and the ground was frozen solid. In such an environment, even a strong man would shiver from the cold.

The silly and honest A Niu wrapped himself in a slightly tattered robe.

The tone was full of longing.

When he heard Xu Xi's description of white rice, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He had never eaten it, but his brain automatically imagined the most wonderful taste, making his tongue wet.

"Brother Xu."

the tanned man asked again.

"Are the gentlemen in the city really all Wenqu stars and Wuqu stars in the sky?"

"My mother said that men are born to enjoy happiness. They eat ten big cakes a meal and change five robes a day. They are different from us mud-legged people."

Aniu rubbed his hands and took a breath of hot air.

The back of the hand is slightly purple.

Those are some side effects of long-term consumption of demon meat on the body, harmless but extremely ugly.

Warriors can use their energy and blood to resolve it, but mortals can only leave traces for a lifetime.

"No, Aniu, they are not."

After Xu Xi was silent for a moment, he stretched out his palm, patted the shoulder of the honest man in front of him, and helped him brush off the snowflakes on it.

"There is no difference between people from the Thirteen Prefectures of Daqian, people from Huangjing, and people living in Qingniu Town."

"The same hunger, the same thirst, the same bleeding and death."

"They are not nobler than you, and you are not inferior to them."

Is this like this...

The man seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand. A look of confusion flashed across his face, unable to understand Xu Xi's words well.

He understands with his own logic.

Gentlemen can eat rice.

Brother Xu said, we are the same as the master.

That is...

"I can also eat white rice in the future!?" A Niu let out a cheerful giggle and laughed for a long time. It was not until a while later that he handed Xu Xi a basket as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Brother Xu, these are the vegetable balls that my mother made for you. They are very hot!"

The bamboo woven basket is strong and durable with clear texture.

The surface is covered with a rag to gently block the snowflakes from the outside and prevent them from falling on the dark green vegetable dumplings.

Xu Xi did not refuse and caught the basket:

"Aniu, I've accepted the things. Go back and thank Aunt Zhang for me."

"Okay!"

A Niu scratched his head and turned away with inexplicable excitement. Xu Xi stood there, watching the figure gradually disappear into the wind and snow in the distance.

He reached into the basket with his right hand, grabbed a vegetable dumpling, and took a bite into his mouth.

The taste is very bitter and astringent.

It's neither crispy nor tasty.

Xu Xi, who has lived in Qingniu Town for seven years, certainly knows why, because the raw material of vegetable dumplings is Fengtuocao, a plant with a rough and sour taste.

Very bad, very nauseating, very unpalatable.

But this is the best that people in Qingniu Town can usually eat.

They could only express their gratitude to Xu Xi in this way, thanking Xu Xi for always giving them demon meat so that they could survive.

"What a fucked up world..."

Xu Xi raised his head, looked at the cold sky, and slowly closed his eyes.

The weather is cold, but my chest is warm.

It was not only a surge of blood, but also an indescribable emotion, whether it was sympathy or anger.

…

【Time always flies by】

[In the blink of an eye, Wu Yingxue has been gone for a long time, and the cold winter has once again descended on Qingniu Town]

[The demon tide is coming as expected. As you expected, this year's demon tide is more turbulent and more terrifying than in previous years.]

[Monsters that can exchange marrow and exchange blood frequently appear, causing heavy casualties to Qingniu Town]

[Qingniu Town still exists]

[But in the seemingly endless tide of demons, some familiar faces have passed away forever, including the old man who once said he would find you a wife, and the young child who had received your martial arts guidance]

[The demons kill regardless of gender, age or status, and anyone will be attacked by them]

[Death is inevitable]

[Casualties are normal]

[You have initially resisted the first wave of demons in winter. The survivors, like in previous years, expressed their gratitude to you in a much sparser voice, thanking you for protecting them]

[Half of the people in the town are grateful]

In the first year when I came to Qingniu Town, after knowing the existence of the Thirteen States of Dagan.

Xu Xi had made a plan, which was to enter the interior of Dagan and see a more exciting world like in traditional fantasy and martial arts novels.

Later, Xu Xi gave up.

First of all, the pass leading to the belly of Dagan was guarded by a large army, and it was difficult for Xu Xi, who was an illegal resident, to pass through.

Secondly, Xu Xi found that the life-and-death combat in the Ten Thousand Mountains brought no less improvement to the Qi and Blood Martial Arts than the so-called resources within the Dagan.

Since then, Xu Xi settled down in Qingniu Town and insisted on honing himself.

But.

Xu Xi never knew what he should do.

In the first simulation, his sister's disaster came suddenly, and he had almost no free time, and he kept looking for ways to rescue his sister.

In the second simulation, Xu Xi had the wisdom of a mortal, and he spent his whole life breaking through the mysteries of magic and taking the witch to appreciate the beauty of the world.

So, what about this life?

Should I keep practicing hard and rely on persistence to become the full-level Sword God of Shilipo.

Or, like in the hot-blooded online novel, become the protagonist of the battle flow who is arbitrary and eternal.

In the snowy present.

In Qingniu Town where everything is withering.

Facing the poor people who thanked him, Xu Xi couldn't help but recall the Dagan army that he had seen from afar a few years ago, full of murderous intent but willing to guard the pass.

At this point, Xu Xi finally understood what he wanted to do in this simulation.

He wanted to kill.

Kill demons, kill monsters, and even kill "people".
