The old man said somewhat angrily.
“Isn’t this a test? A test of whether I’m pure or not, so if I see parents and children, I can just finish them off.”
David said.
“Even though this is a test, I am the examiner. If you eliminate the examiner, do you still want to enter the ruins?”
The old man rebuked angrily.
Hearing that, David immediately sheathed his Dragon Slayer Sword, clasped his hands together in a salute, and said, “Senior, I am very sorry for this misunderstanding.”
“Okay, enough pleasantries, I’ll ask you a question.”
The old man spoke slowly.
“Good!” David nodded, wanting to see what kind of questions the old man would ask him.
“If your entire family was wiped out, would you wipe out their entire family too, even though you have the power to do so?” asked the old man.
“Yes!” David nodded without hesitation.
“What if, after you wipe out an entire family, you find a small child still alive?” continued the old man.
“I’ll make that kid remember me so he can get revenge. When I meet him a second time, I’ll kill him and then just leave.”
David answered.
Hearing David’s answer, the old man laughed. Just before he said anything, David continued, “After taking a few steps, I will immediately turn around and tell the kid that this is our second meeting. I gave him a chance, but he failed to take advantage of it, so he can’t blame me.”
“Then I will finish off that child with one sword blow, leaving no room for doubt”
After hearing David’s words, the old man’s smile froze on his face, then he asked, “If you finish off that kid, will you leave?”
“Of course not, I’ll hide in the shadows and see if there are any other surviving children,” David said.
“If another child ran out, would you kill him with your sword?” asked the old man.
David shook his head: “Not one sword, but four swords”
“Four swords?” Liu Xue, who was standing at the side, was a little confused.
“I will pierce the child’s heart with one sword and his right chest with the other sword, to prevent the child’s heart from growing backwards.”
“There will be another sword thrust into the child’s throat to prevent his heart from being in his throat, and a final sword will be thrust into his stomach to prevent the child’s heart from being in his stomach.”
David explained.
Liu Xue: “”
“If another child ran out at this moment, holding on to your leg and begging for mercy, and you had a sword and a piece of candy, how would you determine whether that child should be killed?” asked the old man.
“Too easy”
David smiled faintly: “If that kid has a sword, it proves that he has the intention of eliminating. This kid must not be allowed to live.”
