Niu Chang, who was in his first life, was happily sitting in a back-breaking posture on his sofa. He was reading a manga on his phone, but suddenly his face became cold.

He saw the images and the story progressed where the main character suffered tragedy due to the main character being too naive and too indecisive.

Anger was burning in his heart, murderous intent rose in his heart and he wanted to cop off the author of this story.

Niu Chang turns off his phone and throws it to his side.

“Why is the main character too stupid?”

“If only he directly used his ultimate move from the start and killed the enemy in one clean move, this stupid development would not happen.”

“If only that stupid bitch is not that stupid. Running into the battlefield without any preparations and stopping the main character by saying a bunch of high morale speech.”

“Oh fuck, I want to kill the author of this story!”

Then after some time, he seemed to have forgotten his hatred and continued reading that manga.

The main character didn’t even learn anything and made the same mistakes three more times. But since this was a ‘story’ naturally the ending was good. The main character revived his allies and even until the very end, he never learned anything.

“Why do I even bother to read such a story?”

“If only I was the one who got reincarnated, then I will make a story that will not make my heart get irritated.”

. . .

The slight turmoil in Niu Chang’s heart is already long gone. Now he was back to his usual self.

The reason why he was playing right now was due to two reasons. The first reason was to test the system.

The system gave him the buff of invincibility, but what is the limit of his action?

Is it limited to instant kill his enemy or can he play around with them first?

The second reason was because he suddenly became clear headed and realize he was inside a bandit hideout. The one in front of him was a bandit that had done many evil deeds. How can such a person have a good death?

Since he already established karma with Niu Chang, naturally he should pay something in this life for every evil deed he has done.

It was not due to jealousy naturally.

It was not that Niu Chang couldn’t do any evil deeds, because he was afraid his system would give him a big surprise because actively seeking problems with others.

Obviously not because of that.

When hearing those same words and no change in Niu Chang’s face. The cowardice bandit relieved himself and wet the floor.

Niu Chang, who was about to tear this bandit’s left leg, suddenly lost interest.

“I planned to give you a good treatment, but why do you need to anger me when I have no animosity with you? Don’t you know I’m doing this for your good? I’m giving you the punishment you deserve so that when you are in hell, the punishment you receive will be less painful.”

Niu Chang said softly as he raised his sword.

Naturally what Niu Chang said was bullshit and part of his image as a kind and compassionate person. As for hell, Niu Chang didn’t think such things existed in this world.

When the cowardice bandit saw Niu Chang stopped for the first time, he was happy and his face regained its color. Then he heard Niu Chang say some comforting words, he thought Niu Chang was telling the truth but even so he was afraid.

‘I don’t care about hell, I don’t want to die!’

His face paled when he saw Niu Chang raise his sword.

Before he could say anything, he saw Niu Chang gesturing to him to be quiet.

“Ple- Hieeeekkkkk…… Noooooo-”

His eyes fixed on the sword, the sword speed was slow enough for him to evade. But he couldn’t, he still cling unto the false hope, delusion created from desperation.

Niu Chang mobilized his qi to flow into the sword. His previous sword qi was not suited to his taste, they were brutish solely depending on his endless supply of qi.

What Niu Chang loved the most was simplicity and practicability. Thus having a good control over his sword is naturally indispensable for him.

Albeit, there would be no such case since no matter in what situation he fell. He wouldn’t actively trigger the system first and got his punishment.

Instead, his every fight would always be brimming with a power that was enough to disgust his enemy to their bone.

The dim white light shrouded the sword, it gently fluctuated on the sword surface. Sometimes flickering like flames, sometimes breathing like the wind.

‘The first rate martial artist is quite powerful. This level of purity is just insane and there is also a huge leap in quantity. I don’t know about other cultivation methods, but my Transformation qi is quite useful for now.’

The sword fell on the cowardice bandit’s shoulder.

Looking at the still begging cowardice bandit, Niu Chang’s emotion was affected.

“Sigh.” He couldn’t help but break his image. ‘Why are you treasuring your life so much? Why are you not repenting? Why are you being so weak minded and leaving your fate in the hands of others?’

‘As much as I don’t like to have any useless emotion. I just can’t help but hate people who are indecisive and weak minded.’

Niu Chang shook his head and the slight change in his heart was gone. “Now, don’t be too scared, since you are begging for your life. Naturally I give you a chance, help me in my training, if you can withstand it I will let you go.”

Seeing Niu Chang’s devilish kind smile, the cowardice bandit gains another hope after hearing Niu Chang’s words.

“Really?” He asked timidly, but his eyes avoided the sword in Niu Chang’s hand.

“Naturally.” Niu Chang said truthfully.

‘As much as I hate people like him, but I also like people who struggle and try their best to survive even at the cost of losing everything, where being dead will be a better choice for them.’

‘If he can survive my sword qi training, I will cut off his legs, pull his tongue, take his ears and one of his eyes, the nose will not be spared either. I want to see, will he change? Will he regret such a decision? What determination will he have after experiencing all of this? Isn’t this the true meaning of life? Only when you face the cold and hard truth of the world will you resent yourself for being weak and try your best to liberate yourself from the binding chain of fate.’

‘I want to see. Show me a miracle, like that man.’

Niu Chang’s eyes were full of expectation and kindness. He no longer saw this man as a filthy sewer rat. He took him as a candidate that might become a true adversary of fate.

He wanted to have a friend with the same kind of mind as him.

“Now my friend. Follow me to the great journey to supremacy.” The words fell and the sword started to move down.

With cold and emotionless eyes, Niu Chang was focused on feeling the changes and control over his sword qi. Ignoring all the agonizing small sounds made by the cowardice bandit.

Sadly, there was no end of this tunnel. No hope was too grand and too good.

The sword qi fluctuated, following Niu Chang’s control. They slowly uniformly distributed and formed a vague shape instead of flowing like leaking water.

When Niu Chang came to his senses, he saw that his sword had long gone to the other side and the cowardice bandit's upper half had already fallen to the ground. His eyes were still pleading for mercy.

‘Sadfully. You are not fated with the dao my friend.’

Niu Chang turned his body and walked towards the boss bandit’s location.

He saw Yan Tan was trying to run away by dragging his body. As an expert of peak second rate, Yan Tan was able to stop the bleeding on his legs.

Watching this scene, Niu Chang thought his attack was too weak. ‘My attack should have some aftertaste, no matter what my enemy did, they will not be able to close their wounds. The blood must flow, the flesh must rot, the bone must decay, and the dao must dissipate.’

With his back on Niu Chang, Yan Tan felt a gaze fall on his back. He gritted his teeth so as not to turn around and kept crawling.

Regret filled his heart.

‘If only I join my subordinates to corner this kid, maybe there will be a chance for survival!’

Step.

Niu Chang no longer controlled his steps to be silent, he let Yan Tan to hear them clearly and slowly.

‘This is also a good play. He is the exact opposite from the previous bandit. He chose to hold his life and death in his hand, as expected from a martial artist, their vanity is higher than heaven and deeper than the earth.’

As Niu Chang took his steps with calmness, he turned his eyes into the house. His sharp sense as the martial artist allowed him to feel the weak pressences there.

The room has poor lighting, only the small array of sunlight entering through the gap increasing the situation inside.

“Five.” Niu Chang counted the number of people inside the room. All of them were hanging on to their life.

“Come out.” Niu Chang said softly.

His eyes brightened and the corner of his lip slowly rose. He has thought of another good experiment to do.

After waiting, no one came out of the room.

Step.

Niu Chang arrived where Yan Tan was.

No words were needed, Niu Chang stomped on Yan Tan’s elbows and shoulders to break them. He then lowered his body to drag the body back to the house.

He dropped Yan Tan in front of the door and walked into the room. There he saw the poor condition of the kidnapped females used for plaything by the bandits.

Niu Chang approached the closest one. Carefully holding her bruised and naked body, Niu Chang moved her to the entrance near the bandit leader.

Then he came back again to move another one, he moved all of the sex slaves to the entrance.

Now when the light was present, Niu Chang came to full view of these females. Three adults and two teenagers. All of them only have average looks except for one of the teenage girls.

She was not bad, with a well defined face, clear and big eyes, long eyebrows and cute lips. But all of these features are almost gone thanks to overuse by the bandits.

“No need to be afraid. I’m here to help you. As you can see, the person in front of you all is the person you should remember deeply in your body. I want you all to give him the punishment he deserves.”

When he finished speaking, the fearful and muddled expression on the females suddenly changed into a fierce and full of hatred.

They didn’t need to ask if it's true or not. They weren't affected by the kind image of Niu Chang at all. All they cared about was Yan Tan laying on the ground without any strength.

‘Since the system is deeply connected to karma. It gives me reward when I punish evil, shouldn’t it also reward me when doing good deeds?’

Niu Chang was full of expectation then called out the system.
