18: The power of the Reverse God-Slaying Technique

"Haha! Little Ye, did you see that? If you're soft-hearted and show mercy, they'll immediately retaliate and kill you. In the future, you must remember, never be soft-hearted towards anyone who has harbored killing intent towards you, or you'll be the one to die!"

Jiang Ye was racking his brain, trying to find an excuse to spare their lives. At this moment, he completely understood the cruel and ruthless nature of this world. Anger surged in his heart, and he said, "Father! I don't know how strong this power is, please step back first."

"Hmm!" Jiang Lingyi probably guessed his thoughts. Immediately, his figure flickered, and he retreated into the air.

"World-Defying God Slaying Art, First Level, Breaking Illusions and Awakening Spirit, Divine Breath! Gather!"

Boom! A mysterious, powerful, and shocking force instantly surged and converged from all directions. Jiang Ye observed the powerful energy continuously gathering on his body.

"Hehe! So that's how it is. Your whole family can hit the road now. Annihilate!"

The old man and everyone present were greatly shocked. "What's wrong with this kid? What...?"

Rumble! With a deafening roar, centered on Jiang Ye, that power directly formed a huge circle, sweeping outwards with an overwhelming momentum. The people and objects in the mansion were instantly razed to the ground, leaving nothing behind, all flattened.

Even Jiang Lingyi couldn't help but be surprised, as this astonishing power was unleashed by a child merely thirteen years old.

Jiang Lingyi returned to his side and asked, "Is this the Cultivation Technique you spent two years just to get started on?"

"Yes! I can only do this much for now."

"Not bad, you're already amazing. You're still young, let's go! Time to go home for dinner, hahaha!"

"Thank you, Father! I feel like I understand so many things now."

Jiang Lingyi said with satisfaction, "Hahaha! I haven't taught you much since you grew up. Sooner or later, you'll have to go out and make your own way. I'm just letting you understand in advance how to survive longer."

"Hmm!"

Jiang Ye seemed to have matured a lot overnight, especially with the example of that family. While he was racking his brain to find an excuse not to kill them, they were secretly plotting how to retaliate and kill him. This incident had a profound impact on a thirteen-year-old boy.

After a happy and lively New Year's Eve dinner, the three families each returned to their rooms to rest. Jiang Ye lay on his bed, the scene of killing from earlier that day constantly replaying in his mind, making it impossible for him to sleep. So he took some wine and meat and flew in the direction where Yan Kui was.

Arriving at the abyss, he whispered, "Uncle Yan, are you asleep?"

"What's wrong? Why are you running over at this hour?"

"I can't sleep, I want to chat with you."

"Oh? Did something happen?"

Jiang Ye put down the wine and meat and said, "My father made me kill many people tonight. He said if I didn't kill them, they would find an opportunity to kill me."

Yan Kui picked up the wine pot, took a big gulp, and said, "Hmm, your father did the right thing. You'll have to experience these kinds of things sooner or later. It's better to face them early than late."

"I still don't quite understand. I was going to let them go, so why were they secretly plotting how to kill me?"

"Hahaha! Little rascal, you're growing up, starting to think about things. I don't have anything special to say. The more people with hostility towards you that you kill in the future, the more you'll naturally understand why they wanted to kill you. Remember one thing: never show mercy! Otherwise, you'll end up like me."

"Uncle Yan, I've never asked you, why are you always trapped here and can't get out?"

Yan Kui said with a heart full of anger, "Because they couldn't kill me, they could only imprison me like this until I die."

"Ah? Why can we enter and exit freely, but you can't come out?"

"This Formation is only for me. I originally had a chance to get out, but you messed it up!"
