Chapter 1848: Chapter 104: Has There Ever Been a Door in This World_3
Jiang Wang fell silent.
To him, Fang Zehou was undoubtedly a detestable person. He withheld resources from Fang Pengju and had a bad reputation in Fenglin City, having even threatened Jiang Anan before.
But this person was also a sincere father. He spared no effort and gave his all for his son, even to the point of sacrificing his life.
A person like Fang Zehou has passed away.
He was just one among the thousands who died in the Maple Forest City Region.
Jiang Wang didn’t know what to say.
Fang Helling looked at him, forcing a smile while looking at him.
Once, in Fenglin City, he swore he would make this man nad Jiang Wang look at him properly.
But as the years passed, he sacrificed so much, grew with such effort, and struggled so hard to get here. Yet he had to bow his head, which he had never lowered before, and such a lowly smile and beg.
He dared not have a single complaint as he smiled like this: “I know I’m useless, insignificant, and disgusting. You are all geniuses with infinitely long futures. I will just walk with you for a while, and after killing Zhang Linchuan, I will leave, far, far away, so as not to sully your eyes. Would that be alright with you?”
Jiang Wang let out a light sigh in his heart.
And looked earnestly at Fang Helling.
His eyes were very clean, there was indeed no resentnt or disgust in them, just a calm and resolute determination.
“Wan E, Carving Flesh, Beheading, these three Human Demons were all killed by . The death of the Fortune Telling Demon also owed sothing to . Even long ago, it was I who pierced the heart of the Heart-Devouring Demon Xiong Wen with one sword. My stance toward the Human Demons has never changed.”
“Do you know? Zheng Fei and Li Shou had a deep bond, they were willing to die for each other. In them, I saw true brotherly friendship! But I still killed them without hesitation. Because when they slaughtered innocent civilians, when they threw people into the furnace to boil, when they ate human flesh and drank human blood, they too did not hesitate.”
Jiang Wang said this: “Fang Helling, I can understand your hatred, I fully understand. On many nights, I was devoured by hatred just like you. The redness in your eyes was once in mine too, and has not yet faded. But we are not the sa kind of people. If we t outside the Mountain and Sea Realm, I would have already drawn my sword.”
Fang Helling looked at Wang Changji, whose face showed no expression and did not speak.
He seed to understand.
He no longer slapped his own face, knowing there was nothing he could do.
Jiang Wang was always this resolute.
Back then, when Fang Pengju lay on the ground sobbing, crying out ‘Third Brother,’ and begging for rcy, Jiang Wang’s sword pierced down without a mont’s hesitation.
That was his sworn brother, as close as family!
And what am I, Fang Helling?
Fang Helling laughed, and laughed out loud.
He laughed and gave a thumbs up to Jiang Wang: “You are truly cold-hearted and iron-willed, truly a paragon of righteous courage, clearly distinguishing right from wrong, standing tall and upright. There isn’t a grain of sand in your eyes, you are truly honest, truly just, Jiang Wang!”
He was both self-deprecating and self-abandoning, inferior yet resignedly angry.
He raised his thumbs high, passing over his forehead: “You are strong, really strong. You are the genius everyone envies. Even those shabby swordsmanship skills learned in the Outer Sect, you are better than . You’re stronger than my talented cousin Fang Pengju; you killed him with a single stroke!”
His hand slowly dropped down, opening his palm.
“But what about ?”
He glared at Jiang Wang, his expression twisted uncontrollably for the first ti as he roared at Jiang Wang for the first ti: “But what about !?”
“I am useless! I cannot compare to you, I cannot even compare to Fang Pengju, what should I do!?”
“Do you think everyone is like you, can have many choices? The people you associate with are geniuses, heirs of noble families, or sons of aristocrats, dukes, and lords. You are renowned on Guanhe Platform, you have high ranks and titles in Qi Country, in Chuguo you walk among no common folk, and the Triple Punishnt Palace testifies for you, even The Big Dipper is damn singing your praises!”
“But what about ?”
His swollen face twisted into a mass of ugliness and heartache.
He pointed at his own chest, each point as heavy as a drumbeat, with countless past monts of agony, following his angry roars, angry cries: “I am not a good person, but I am not that bad! Sotis I can’t do it, and so people I don’t want to kill! But I told myself, I have to avenge! I have nothing, I am nothing, what do I have for revenge? Only the Human Demons want , only the Human Demons give a chance, only the Human Demons give strength!”
He pointed at Jiang Wang, with a voice almost like a howl: “Damn it, you can be a good person, condescendingly looking down on , just because you have a choice!!!”
“And I do not.”
Fang Helling lowered his finger, his voice dropping. The twisted expression on his face also began to collapse, the bulging veins slowly fading away.
He beca very downcast, the sort of downcast of soone who has fully realized reality.
He shook his head: “Jiang Wang, I really hate this condescending manner of yours. Maybe you’re right, but you won’t always be right.”
The brightness, which could perhaps be called light, extinguished in his eyes.
He just turned away, his face swollen, utterly dejected.
He knew he could only go and kneel again before Yan Chunhui, kneel before Yanzi, to once again beg for a chance.
