Chapter 199: I Just Want A Family
"Ugh!"
The dragon fist burst the lightning bolts into sparks but the collision against the ground made the boy tremble on fall on his knees.
Thud!
Jin Hao lands in front of the boy and asks "Are you alright?"
The boy slowly raises his head and nodded his head. The tears in his eyes weren't dried yet.
"Well, it seems someone is trying to deal with heavenly tribulation by making others suffer. Do we really have to interfere? The entire village is already dead." Another man suddenly walked near them and spoke. He was none other than Tian Su.
He walked past the boy and stared at the middle-aged who was also staring at him. After all, the lightning bolt he just sent was destroyed like its nothing. Of course, Tian Su and Jin Hao were also surprised.
The strength of this man doesn't seem to be much but then why did he draw the heavenly tribulation? The place where they ended up teleporting was completely unknown to them. After crossing the desert, this was the first village they come across but didn't expect to encounter this strange situation.
Suddenly, Tian Su looked down when he felt someone pulling his clothes. He saw the boy pulling his clothes, with tears falling down his eyes.
"P…Please help me...… Please avenge my village...."
He pulls back his hand and kneels while kowtowing his head.
"I beg you."
His words made Tian Su and Jin Hao look at each other with unexpected expression on their faces. They couldn't help but feel a strange emotion in their heart.
Do they consider themselves good? No! They don't. They know they won't hesitate for the blood of other people to cultivate. They know they won't hesitate to kill a person for their treasure.
But, at this moment, this strange emotion woke up inside them, telling them to feel pity about this kid. They don't know why they suddenly feel such emotions.
They asked to themselves. Was it because they saved him from that lightning bolt? They only saved him to learn more about this place. They didn't save him to avenge his people.
"Boy, do we even know each other?" Tian Su made a serious expression on his face and asked.
His words made the boy tremble. As he thought more, his eyes started pouring tears non-stop. Both of them didn't speak and the man at the middle of the heavenly tribulation made a smirk on his face.
'I don't care what those two idiots want to do but they seriously appeared in a correct moment. I don't care if they fight back or not. As long as they can destroy the lightning bolts, I can definitely complete this transformation.'
'Hehe! Heaven, you want to stop the rise of demons unfortunately you will never succeed. No matter how much you suppress us, we will fight back and one day, we will slaughter you.'
Bang!
At this moment, the bolt of lightning suddenly fell above him. The middle-aged man raised his hand and directed the bolt of lightning towards Jin Hao and Tian Su with a smirk on his face.
"Huh?"
Seeing the bolt of lightning rushing towards them, they opened their mouth wide and the next moment closed it. Suddenly, Tian Su crouched down and patted the boy's head.
"Boy, it seems your enemy is an idiot. Since he is an idiot, I don't mind killing him."
Jin Hao stood in front of the lightning bolt and sucked in a massive amount of air. His dragon scales hardened and new scales appeared around his mouth.
"Holy Dragon Roar!"
Crackle! Crackle! Bang!
A powerful shockwave of energy burst out of his mouth and moved towards the lightning bolt, cracking it into sparks and completely erasing it. The power of the shockwaves extended up to the middle-aged man who raised his forearms to block it.
Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared behind the middle-aged man and a cold voice rang in his ears.
"Originally, we were just going to take away the boy but now it seems you want to die as well."
"Nine Hell Shadow Technique"
"Night Dragon Craze"
Splash! Splash! Splash!
Suddenly, the daggers appears in his hand as he moved. The daggers started slashing the middle-aged man's body but his skin was so hard it made Tian Su use his full strength.
Tap! Tap!
As soon as he realized it, Tian Su retreated but the moment he moved away, a fist pierced the air where he was previously.
"He is a demon with extremely powerful skin. Do you want to kill him?" Tian Su asked as soon as he was next to Jin Hao.
"Nah! How about you keep trying and I will stay here?" Jin Hao smirked and shook his head. He knew why Tian Su said that. His attacks were much more blunt and powerful but this also means he had to take damage from the demon.
But, Tian Su was different. He has a higher chance of evading the attacks.
"Guess, I got no choice then." Tian Su tilts his head and gripped the dagger in his hands. Suddenly, the darkness burst out of him. The power of darkness spread around his dagger and the next moment his body disappeared.
Jin Hao simply stood there and watched as Tian Su fought the demon while dodging the attacks from the demon. And, this also made demon harder to reflect the lightning bolts.
He turned around and looked at the child who was still kneeling on the ground. He crouched down and asked, "Boy, how much do you know about this place?"
Hearing his question, the boy raised his head and stared at Jin Hao with confusion.
"Do you know which kingdom or continent we are?" Jin Hao sighed and asked.
"Kingdom? Continent? No, we are living on an island. That's what my father taught me. Unfortunately, the west side has deserts and the other sides are filled with demons. We, humans, do not leave our village since we could get killed by the demons." The boy answered him with an honest expression.
"Island huh!" Jin Hao rubbed his chin and thought 'Even if it is an island, it should massive. The desert alone was bigger than the Great Ming Kingdom. But, I don't understand. Normally, only Emperors and Ancestors are supposed to make heaven angry.'
'So, why is the heaven of this place punishing the demons so weak? Perhaps demons angered heaven. But even so, what did they do to make heaven so angry? Maybe the only way to find out is traveling this place.'
"Hmmm! What do you want?"
Suddenly, the boy pulled his clothing which brought him out of his thoughts.
The boy lowered his head and spoke "Are you a cultivator?"
"Yes!" Jin Hao replied.
At this moment, the boy kowtow on the ground three times and shouted "Please teach me the cultivation!"
His words made Jin Hao stunned for a moment. But, then he thought more about it and realize it was quite normal for the kid to say such a thing. He could help but ask "Why do you want to cultivate?"
The boy raised his head and the immense hatred appeared in his eyes.
"Two years ago, a demon angered the gods and the god punished our village. At that time, a man saved the village and me. I asked him to teach me the cultivation but he denied it. He said if I keep becoming a good person, something good will happen to me."
At this moment, that hatred didn't lessen but the tears kept falling down his cheeks.
"I did. I helped people. I become to everyone. I was never bad. I never lied. I never tried to bully anyone. Day after day, I dreamed to become a cultivator. He said someone will come and give me a chance if I keep becoming a good person."
"No one but this demon came to our village. The thing that happened two years ago happened once again. I watched children dying in front of me. I watched the people who I helped die in front of me. I never became a bad person."
"Sob! Sob! So…. Why? Why did it happen again? Why did my village suffer again? Why didn't anything good happen to me? I want to find him. I want to ask him. Why do the kind people suffer the most? Why doesn't karma sees our kindness?"
"Why did he give me a hope that couldn't be fulfilled? I lost my parents but I never complained. I acknowledged this village as my family. So, why did my family suffer the same fate again? WHY IS THIS WORLD SO UNFAIR?"
"Because you are weak."
At this moment, Jin Hao opened his mouth. His words suddenly paused the boy's tears but then they started falling once again.
"I don't want to be weak. I don't want to suffer this fate. I just want a family. AM I WRONG?"
Hearing his roar, Jin Hao slowly raised his hand and patted his head.
"No, you are not wrong. Weakness is sin but the dream is righteous. Boy, you are alone, right?"
"Do you want to join my family?"
