I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 537 - 134: A Benevolent Heart, a Thunderous Hand

"Not pure enough?"

Upon hearing this, Yun You was slightly taken aback.

What does this mean? Are kindness and purity somehow separate?

"Your earlier assessment of Old Two was quite good. He's a good person, excellent from every angle, almost unbelievably so."

Old Jin shook his head and murmured, "But this kind-heartedness has also become his greatest flaw."

"As a righteous person aiming to change the world, he not only needs a compassionate heart but also thunderous means."

"He lacks the former, but he hasn't quite grasped what kind of people deserve his love, and what kind deserve the most decisive measures of suppression."

"Kindness, for people like us, isn't purely positive, it's a neutral term, because it often means weakness."

"Take, for example, your prior encounter in the Steel Forest. At that time, his proper course of action should have been driving away Tang Jin and then finding a way to incapacitate those three who sought to harm you... especially leaving the Collection Clan's Galland there. Killing him would have been ideal, but even if not, he should have at least been rendered useless."

"In this way, the Collection Clan would have been directly out of the picture, and no matter how much their Patriarch planned, without an Apprentice Death God, they couldn't realize their plans."

"But what did Old Two do?"

Old Jin closed his eyes and sighed heavily, showing evident frustration.

"He merely said a few harsh words and let those three go. What was he doing? Could it be that my student is a tiny hamster, to be caught or released at will?"

Amused by his semi-joking words, Yun You couldn't help but chuckle, with most of her previous tension from fear of saying the wrong thing dissipating.

She still didn't know what a tiny hamster was, but presumably, it referred to some small, cute animal without any combat ability, one that could be easily manipulated.

"Master, don't blame Second Brother."

Yun You waved it off, quietly defending, "Second Brother told me that these Heroes of Calamity are constantly under satellite surveillance, and if he acted rashly, it might invite unnecessary trouble..."

"What trouble could there be if he resolved the matter within 30 seconds?"

Old Jin shook his head lightly and said, "Rules are fixed, but people are adaptable. The highest rule among the Nest City's nobility is interest, and several dead bodies provide no profit."

"In other words, as long as Old Two acted quickly and ruthlessly, leaving all three except your senior sister behind, no one would pursue the matter further, because those families wouldn't risk provoking a Hero of Calamity over a few dead men."

"Girl, don't make excuses for him. I'm well aware of Old Two's strength. Not only yesterday's three men, even if three more Tier Four Apprentice Death Gods came, they wouldn't be a match for him." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"He's simply too kind-hearted, or perhaps hesitant, so that's why I say he's not 'pure' enough as a Rebel Army member."

Hearing this, Yun You couldn't help but be a bit surprised.

She knew her Second Brother was strong, but she truly didn't expect Chen Zaikun to be this powerful.

Even a Tier Four Apprentice Death God, no matter how weak, would require Yun You to exhaust all her resources to have a slim chance of killing.

Yet her Second Brother, who appeared simple and honest, could handle six or seven Tier Four Apprentice Death Gods at once, and almost certainly win! Such strength is indeed astonishing.

No wonder he ranks second among the talented Heroes of Calamity, surpassed only by Jiang Wuji... Other than Jiang Wuji, there likely isn't anyone else among the Heroes of Calamity who could match him.

Moreover, Yun You was struck by Old Jin's ruthlessness.

In her preconceived notions, Old Jin might not be as simple and honest as her Second Brother—a farmer type—but he was definitely a good-natured and sincere person.

Hadn't he recently been giving free classes to children in the slums, acting as a volunteer teacher?

Yet the tactics Old Jin spoke of earlier were anything but kind; they were instead filled with murderous intent and ruthlessness, more like... an experienced old-timer who's been through thick and thin.

But upon reflection, it made sense. Despite his current gentle and scholarly demeanor, looking like a teacher from the Upper City, in his youth, Old Jin had fought on the front lines, climbing out of piles of dead bodies.

He had seen beauty, but had also firsthand witnessed humanity's basest aspects, hence, the personality he's developed over the years, despite its goodness, akin to a Buddha with a constant smile, also has the cruel aspect of a "Furious Vajra."

Moreover, Yun You recalled that among the three people who've helped her, her seemingly harmless Master had been the most severe.

Jiang Wuji's actions harmed no one; he merely held up the Floating Island with his Talent Ability and gave Galland a slight scare before leaving.

Chen Zaikun did engage with the three against Galland, but that was only because they first tried to capture Yun You.

And even with his slap, he inflicted no real harm on the three, just a minor lesson.

In contrast, Old Jin...

His action in front of the entrance of Tiger Head Heavy Industries left no room for words, directly incapacitating the black-robed Death Gods. The leader had his entire skeleton smashed by Old Jin, rendering him powerless; even if he could be healed, fighting again wouldn't be possible.
