The old man's words made Yi feel a little uncomfortable. He also remembered that when he met Balliard before, Balliard had said that there might be a crisis over there in Wuji, but he turned a deaf ear to it.

To fulfill his purpose and protect Wuji, he chose himself.

Now, this old man has chosen others between his own life and the lives of others.

Is this the gap? The difference between affectionate and ruthless is whether to sacrifice oneself or to sacrifice others?

"No, grandpa, I don't want to be separated from you."

The little girl following Yi burst into tears. She was so smart, but she couldn't understand her grandfather and didn't want to live anymore.

"Be good, listen carefully to the young hero from now on, grandpa will be watching you from the sky."

The old man retreated step by step, while Yi was still walking forward, but his steps were slower.

"grandfather!"

The little girl wanted to rush forward and stop her grandfather, but the old man, who had been falling at the end, took a few steps back and was about to leave Yi's attack range.

At this moment, the little girl looked at her grandfather, who was cut off like those insects, and then quickly cut into nothing.

This familiar situation appeared before her eyes. The little girl turned around and ran behind Yi, grabbing Yi's clothes, pulling on Yi's clothes, hammering Yi's thigh, and even bit it.

"Why? Why did you kill my grandfather?"

"Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. If I don't kill him, he will suffer even more if he falls into the hands of those void creatures. I gave him a happy life. When he left, he didn't feel any pain at all."

Yi didn't know what kind of emotion he was feeling when he said this, and he didn't know what the little girl said. He was distracted, held the little girl in his arms, and walked to the village inadvertently.

This little girl has already fallen asleep.

"Does a person have to make some difficult choices while alive? Or am I not strong enough to save everyone?"

Yi didn't stop the old man before, but he could. He could also take the old man to the village. Although the old man's pace was slow, as long as he carried the old man on his back and held the child, with his footsteps and speed,

How could it be slower?

But he didn't do that, just because the old man made the decision to sacrifice himself... The old man made this kind of decision, made this fearless decision to sacrifice himself, should we respect his decision... Should we?

"It's the swordsman! We're saved!"

The villagers held their own hoes and other farm tools to fight against the weak void creatures. Ordinary void creatures did not have much strength to begin with. Invading Rune Land only relied on the void energy after their death to affect the Rune Land.

The erosion of earthly creatures appears to be the result of the Void being at a disadvantage, and the Void being suppressed by Rune Terra. However, the situation on the battlefield has long been inadvertently tilted towards the Void.

"Quick! Let's go to that young hero!"

Soon after the void creatures appeared, there were casualties. As soon as the casualties appeared, these villagers gathered together to fight against these bugs that appeared from nowhere. At this moment, the villagers gathered here,

Almost all the survivors.

But they haven't seen any hope of escaping yet. After all, there are too many creatures in the void, just like the tide.

Appearing without warning, a drama swept through their village, and everywhere they looked, they were filled with these purple creatures.

At this moment, they saw Yi walking over. There was a large area of ​​open space around Yi. Any void creature that wanted to enter that open space would be cut off and then disappear without a trace.

The villagers seemed to have a backbone, and they saw hope in Yi.

"Young hero! Help!"

"……I'm late."

Yi remembered what Balliard said again. The most powerful thing about void creatures is their corrosive ability. Once they fight against void creatures, they will inevitably be infected with void energy. After mortals are infected with void energy, within a day, they will be infected with void energy.

Will be controlled by the void and become its minions.

And now when he came to the village, the remaining villagers had already been fighting the void creatures for a while. In just a short time, many void creatures died. Naturally, these villagers also had a lot of void energy.

attached.

"Young hero! It's not too late! It's not too late!"

The villagers didn't know what Yi was talking about. Anyway, they were cleaning up these void creatures while approaching Yi. Although they could survive the attacks of the void creatures for a period of time, they were humans, not gods, and they would be tired.

, they will be tired, can they finish killing so many void creatures?

Of course they can't kill them all, and if they can't kill them all, they will all die sooner or later.

No one on Yi's side saw Yi take action. Those void creatures disappeared and were killed. How could the villagers not move closer to Yi?

"...forgive me...you are hopeless..."

Yi clenched his fists. Perhaps, he should really obey the will of the world and go to the territory of the demon tribe to deal with this crisis. However, what made him most angry was not that he did not obey the orders of the will of the world. He was angry

Yes, even if he is freed from the influence of the Ruthless Sword, his hands will still be filled with blood.

Can an apology remove all guilt?

"Forgive? What do you mean?"

There were still villagers who heard Yi's words. They were obviously some distance away, and there were so many void creatures in the middle. When they killed these void creatures, they would also shout to add momentum to themselves. But when Yi spoke, they

Able to hear what Yi said,

"Forget it, don't worry about it, brothers, keep working harder, we are almost there, we will be saved soon."

As soon as these words came out, the villagers became more energetic and became faster when killing these void creatures.

However, when they were about to reach the clearing, something unexpected happened.

As soon as a villager took a step forward, his foot was cut off, and he lost his balance and fell towards the open space - it was cut off and completely chopped into pieces.

"What are you doing! Aren't you a swordsman! Aren't you going to protect us! Where are you - don't come here! Ah -"

Seeing a villager end up with those weird creatures, the other villagers were angry. The swordsman who came to rescue them was really bad. He actually killed someone by mistake. When the incident was over, they would definitely scold the swordsman.

However, before their anger was fully vented, they saw Yi continuing to move forward, and another villager was wiped out as they approached that area.

"I'm sorry...I also wanted to save you...but you can't be saved."

Yi's mood was very low. He failed to save anyone and even killed the people he was supposed to save with his own hands.

First it was the old man, and then the villagers. Both wanted to save him, but neither could.

If he hadn't been thinking about the goodness of that bean paste bun and immediately went to the village when he discovered the void creature, maybe none of the people in the village would have died.

However, he wanted to save the old man and the little girl, but in the end the old man was killed by him, the little girl hated him, none of the villagers survived, and many villagers would die in his hands.

"You - devil!"

The villagers quickly continued to advance in the direction of Yi's advance. However, when Yi advanced, there was no obstacle. As they advanced, the void creatures surged up again, hindering their progress.

The villagers at the front of the team were still struggling to kill the void creatures, while the villagers at the end of the team quietly disappeared without a trace.

This was cut down by the swordsman.

They have never heard of any swordsman who can chop a person alive. Is this a swordsman? It is like a thunder from the sky, and they will be driven to pieces.

"Sorry, rest in peace."

Yi found that he couldn't do anything. He probably shouldn't have come to this village. These villagers were resisting the void creatures. If given a chance, they could persist for a longer period of time, although they would not survive in the end.

Yes, but they can always live for a while longer, and during this time, there will be a part of the time full of hope.

After he came, the villagers pinned their hopes on him, but he brought despair to the villagers.

Why does he come here?

Questioning his heart, Yi moved forward step by step. Soon, the cursing stopped, the begging for mercy disappeared, the cry for help disappeared, and the villagers were all dead.

Death in his hands.

Yi looked towards the north, which was the direction of Wuji. He held the little girl in his arms and ran, but never stopped his sword or his invisible sword. Along the way, Fan appeared near him.

All the void creatures have disappeared, and there are more void creatures ahead.

Where did so many void creatures come from? Could it be that this is another plan of the void to invade Runeterra? However, wasn’t the last plan of the void to invade Runeterra blocked by Valliard? It’s happening again so soon.

.

"Where are those uncles and aunts?"

The little girl woke up. She didn't know how she passed out. Maybe she was too tired, maybe she was scared, maybe she was too sad. In short, she passed out.

In the dream, she saw her grandfather, who told her that other uncles and aunts in the village would also take care of her. Grandpa told her to be obedient and grow up happily.

However, when she woke up, she didn't see anyone familiar in front of her. She only saw the scene around her changing rapidly.

"...Tell me, where are the uncles and aunts?"

The little girl's eyes widened. She seemed to know what was happening to the people in the village, but she still wanted to confirm that she still had a glimmer of hope.
