If there was no explicit rule against killing, did that mean killing was allowed?
Although the referee had said it was best not to, to Chen Changan, those words made no difference either way.
After all, he had only said it was best not to. He hadn't said they absolutely couldn't.
"Oh no, oh no."
"That smile is all too familiar."
"That kid's got murder on his mind." Xie Yu said helplessly.
"Could he... could he really be about to kill someone?"
"The point isn't that he wants to kill someone. It's that he actually has the ability to do it. That's the terrifying part."
If it were anyone else saying, "I'm going to kill someone," they might have just listened and shrugged it off. Was killing someone really that easy?
Especially when facing someone whose cultivation was higher than your own.
