The Twin Swords

"You-" Uncle Zhou was about to say something when he felt that his feet is above the ground and a hand is currently tightly grasping his neck. He tried all his might to look at the person who is holding his neck. "Remember this in your next life, there are people that the likes of you can't afford" the word that came from the old man that he thought he can easily crush with a flick of his finger is the last word that he heard in this lifetime.

In the forest, the sound of the leaves being blown by the air is only the sound that every people in there can hear. The 5 9th Qi Refinement realm cultivator all looked at horror to the old man and the fresh corpse of Uncle Zhou in the ground.

"Who- who are you?" Young Master Chang said to the old man while panicking in horror from the sight that he have seen in his entire life.

His Uncle Zhou is one of the 3 Foundation Establishment in his entire family, even though he is the weakest one , him being in the Foundation Establishment realm can be already considered a powerhouse in the entire Montefaro Town. But the so called powerhouse in the town can't even last long to the old man that he is currently facing.

"An old man." he said straightly to young master Chang before killing him and the other guards.

After cleaning up the corpses , the two of them continued their journey towards their home.

"Bai-er, are you okay?" the old man said to Tiang Bai who is silent along the entire way.

"Tell me grandpa, do bad guys are needed to be killed?" Tiang Bai asked after being silent for the whole time after the ambush.

"Bai-er, there are bad guys who can change and there are also one that even if you do anything to him, they won't change." the old man said to Tiang Bai before stopping in front of their house. He then looked at Tiang Bai and sighed "Sigh~ Bai-er, come here I'll tell you a story about an emperor who is too kind even to persons that wanted to take his life." The 2 of them entered the house and sit down on the couch while the old man is brewing tea leaves then he started his story.

"Years ago , there are 2 princes who are fighting for the throne , they are called the white prince and the black prince. The white prince is the strongest and also a good-hearted man who is not a slightest bit selfish while the other one, the black prince , is an evil man who always wanted to gain more power and surpass his brother.

Their father, the emperor, gave the two of them a powerful sword each and told them that they can conquer any lands in the entire world if they join. But even though their father gave them a sword that has equal powers, the talents and techniques of the white prince far surpassed his that makes him jealous.

One day, the black prince, learnt some secrets about the 2 swords." The 2 swords, once combined, a God would be born" so at that time the black prince came up a plan to get the sword of his brother and try to fuse it to make him omnipotent.

The black prince poisoned the drink of his brother, who is now the crown prince saying that they would celebrate his inhertance. While they are drinking and the white prince's powers decreased greatly at that time. Sadly , even though the white prince's power decreased the black prince cant still defeat him. The guards finally caught up and stopped the 2 prince and the black prince is imprisoned. The emperor let the white prince decide about the punishment of the black prince to give test to his inheritor, sadly his son, the white prince is too merciful to traitors, making him banished away from the kingdom, that makes him disappointed. At the time that the emperor goes to eternal sleep, he told the white prince that one day you'll die at the hands of someone that you should've killed. And it really happened, one night his brother, the black prince, came back to the palace to take revenge and finally killed his brother and massacred his entire kin." the 2 of them already finished the tea when the old man finished his story.

"Bai-er, do you know the outcome of sparing the lives ?" he said to Tiang Bai who is immersed in the sad tragedy of the white prince.

"Grandpa, I know now. Those guys are needed to be killed in order to save not only yourself but also your entire kin. They will harm peoples beside you if they aren't killed." Tiang Bai said to his grandfather.

"Hohoho, remember Bai-er in the world of Jianghu many people are ought to be killed, one wrong decision and one day you will suffer the consequence." the old man said seriously to Tiang Bai who listen seriously to him.

"Let's go now and sleep, the night is already deep" the old man added.
