Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"Little Medical Fairy!!!!"

Chapter 345 Instinct

Xiao Yan's eyes were about to burst out, and his pupils were trembling as he looked at Xiao Yixian, whose eyes were empty and whose chest had been pierced by the sharp claws of the Iron Protector. Blood kept dripping from Xiao Yixian's chest and back along her white clothes to the ground, and formed a bloody puddle at Xiao Yixian's feet.

At this moment, Xiao Yan's heart stopped for a moment.

Despair! Self-blame! Regret! And a deep sense of powerlessness!

Xiao Yan hated it!

Hate the Iron Guardian!

I hate myself for being so weak!

I hate myself for not being able to do anything!!!

In an instant, in Xiao Yan's senses, everything around him suddenly stopped.

Whether it was the wildly laughing Iron Protector, the Little Medical Fairy who was stabbed in the chest, the struggling Han Feng, and all the people watching here from afar, it was as if the time stop button was pressed, and everything in the world was silent.

【Yo yo yo~ Who is this? 】

Suddenly, an uncomfortable overlapping voice sounded behind Xiao Yan, the words full of arrogance and pride.

The voice was so familiar, so familiar that Xiao Yan couldn't remember it.

Xiao Yan wanted to turn around, but his body was unable to move. He could only look at the helpless back of Xiao Yixian, whose chest was pierced, in despair.

Then Xiao Yan clearly felt that the person who spoke was squatting beside him, speaking to Xiao Yan with a mixture of sarcasm and ridicule.

[Look~ The boy who wanted to change the world could only lie on the ground and watch his friend being stabbed in the chest. ]

[What's going on? Huh? Don't you want to change the world? ]

[What a great ambition! But now, can't you even protect the people around you? ]

After the man finished speaking, he stood up and slowly walked to the side of Xiao Yixian who was frozen there, pierced through the chest by the Iron Protector and held in the air. He raised his finger and pointed at Xiao Yixian with a sinister smile.

[Boss Yao entrusted his most important daughter to you when he was dying, but you let her end up like this? ]

[How shameful it is, Xiao Yan, you are lying on the ground, while a woman desperately tries to save you.]

[Seeing this scene, don't you feel embarrassed? What else can you do except shouting in impotence and anger? ]

Xiao Yan's pupils gradually dilated, and he looked at the person standing next to Xiao Yixian in shock.

The same appearance as himself, the same body as himself, shadows covering the whole body, scarlet eyes, and a mocking look on his face that he had never shown before!

Xiao Yan wanted to ask, wanted to ask who this man was, but he couldn't do it.

She could only watch this man who looked exactly like her perform a one-man show in front of her.

The shadow Xiao Yan put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in Xiao Yan's sight, looking down at Xiao Yan who was lying on the ground with a condescending expression.

[How miserable it is, Xiao Yan. ]

[From the past to now, how many opportunities have you had to do whatever you want? 】

[People live their lives, so they should enjoy themselves. But you are like a hermit who has seen through the mundane world and refuses to eat the meat in front of you. Aren’t you tired of living? What’s the point of living like this?]

[Look at you. For the sake of your damn righteousness, you have suppressed me to this extent, but in the end you still can't do anything. What do you want? ]

Shadow Xiao Yan came in front of Xiao Yan, squatted down with his legs apart, and stared at Xiao Yan's black eyes with his scarlet eyes.

[You clearly know in your heart that your strength far exceeds that of people of the same level, but why are you unwilling to admit it? ]

Shadow Xiao Yan’s words made Xiao Yan’s heart suddenly tremble.

Yes, he knew, he always knew.

He knew that he was very strong, and he knew that his strength had far exceeded the scope of his level, but he had never admitted it.

Xiao Yan is just a straightforward person, he is not really stupid. He just failed to notice it once or twice, but after encountering so many things along the way, it is impossible for Xiao Yan not to notice this.

However, he has been deliberately avoiding this matter.

There is only one reason.

[Are you really afraid of being devoured by your own power? ]

Shadow Xiao Yan grinned, and his words revealed Xiao Yan's inner thoughts, which made Xiao Yan very scared.

Yes, this is the reason why Xiao Yan has always been unwilling to face up to his own strength.

He was afraid. He was really afraid that once he admitted in his heart that he possessed strength far beyond his peers, he would become arrogant, overbearing, and would no longer be himself.

If you become like that, the right path will be nothing but empty talk!

Xiao Yan seemed very determined in what he was doing, but in fact, he was really not confident in himself.

It is precisely because of the lack of self-confidence that one dares not cross the bottom line even once.

It is precisely because of the lack of self-confidence that one is worried that power will devour oneself.

He didn't dare to let himself go, not even once.

He was afraid that once he set the precedent and tasted the sweetness, he would no longer be able to control his heart!

At this time, Shadow Xiao Yan spoke again.

[Although, I do understand you, but I also hope you can understand me. ]

[Xiao Yan, think carefully, how many troubles have I helped you solve so far? ]

[In Wutan City, they broke into the Jialie Family, dealt with the robbers who blocked the road, dealt with the Wolf Head Mercenaries in the Monster Mountain Range, and slaughtered those who pretended to be the Desert Iron Mercenaries in the Tagor Desert. There are other things, including the old demon just now. ]

[I helped you solve these problems. Do you really think that you can solve these problems by sticking to the right path? ]

[You know it in your heart, right? Maybe it's innate, or it's caused by the environment and experience. There are always some people in this world who are unreasonable, who like the law of the jungle, and who are born to go against the righteous path you follow. ]

[For these people, even if you say it a thousand times or ten thousand times, and try every possible way, you can't change their values ​​and positions. ]

[You can change the world, but you cannot change everyone. The evil people you know will always exist in any era. This is the reality of the world.]

[What's more, now that you want to change everyone, but you can't even do the things in front of you, you still want to talk about your ideals? Don't you think it's ridiculous? ]

The shadow Xiao Yan squatting on the ground turned slightly to avoid Xiao Yan's sight and pointed at the back of Xiao Yixian whose chest was pierced.

[Look, your friend is waiting for you to save her. Didn’t you promise Boss Yao to protect her? ]

Shadow Xiao Yan continued to stimulate Xiao Yan's nerves with words, making Xiao Yan's self-blame and resentment grow stronger.

At the same time, there also emerged an extreme desire for power!

Feeling Xiao Yan's inner changes, Shadow Xiao Yan grinned and used words to seduce Xiao Yan like a devil.

[You must really want to save her now, no matter what the cost. ]

Shadow Xiao Yan slowly stood up, lowered his head and looked at Xiao Yan whose black eyes gradually turned scarlet, and the black energy on his body once again flowed out from the depths of his heart.

[If you want to save her, then just leave it to me like you have done so many times before. I will help you solve it.]

Shadow Xiao Yan's tone suddenly changed. Unlike the sarcasm and ridicule just now, his scarlet eyes now revealed great sincerity as he spoke softly.

【Don't worry, Xiao Yan. 】

[I will never hurt you, ever.]

[Everything I do is for you, it is the undisguised desire in your heart, it is what you want to do most. ]

[Believe me, even if everyone in this world is your enemy, I will stand firmly with you. ]

[So Xiao Yan, acknowledge me and accept me. ]

Shadow Xiao Yan's words were so sincere.

He slowly bent down, his eyes serious and solemn, and as Xiao Yan was staring at him in shock and realization, he extended his hand to him.

[I am not an outsider, nor am I anything else unknown, at least to you.]

Shadow Xiao Yan spoke in a gentle tone, slowly revealing his identity.

[I am, your instinct. ]

Suddenly, the stagnant world returned to normal and time began to flow again.

The Iron Protector who had pierced Xiao Yixian's chest snorted coldly, swung his arm suddenly and threw Xiao Yixian aside. Only a horrifying black hole remained on Xiao Yixian's chest. Blood kept flowing out of the black hole, staining the ground under Xiao Yixian red and staining her white clothes blood red.

"Haha, don't worry." Iron Guardian glanced at the little doctor fairy whose breathing was already extremely weak with disdain, and said in an extremely cold voice, "I will let this kid go down to accompany you right away."

Before the Iron Protector could finish his words, he suddenly felt a surge of extreme malice coming towards him.

The malice was so pure, so pure that even the Iron Protector's heart stopped beating.

This is? !

In just a moment, the Iron Protector found the source of the malice and suddenly stared at Xiao Yan who was struggling to get up from the ground. The black aura slowly flowed out of Xiao Yan's body and lingered around him.

This kid? ! !

The Iron Protector confirmed again and again that Xiao Yan in front of him was still undoubtedly a great fighter without the help of the mysterious soul, but he felt more and more uneasy, and his bad premonition became stronger and stronger, and he always felt that something bad was going to happen.

Not only him, everyone present noticed the terrifying malice emanating from Xiao Yan, and looked at Xiao Yan with horror as he slowly stood up from the ground.

The next moment, the scenery in front of everyone changed instantly.

The sky turned a depressing blood-red color. The originally orderly streets were instantly dilapidated. Ravens, representing darkness and death, flowed out from all over the city, emitting continuous cries that resounded through the sky, causing despair and negativity to echo in everyone's hearts.

Is this an illusion?!

Everyone reacted immediately, and compared to these disturbing scenes, the source of this illusion made them feel more terrified!

The malice that continued to erupt from Xiao Yan irritated everyone’s nerves. They all understood that this ominous illusion was caused by Xiao Yan’s malice!!!

Han Feng looked at the black energy on Xiao Yan's body, frowned tightly, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

I have seen this black energy from Xiao Yan before.

It was not fighting spirit, but it was not entirely soul power either, but pure negative emotion.

But no matter how dense Xiao Yan’s black energy was before, it had never been as strong as it is now!

It's like it was amplified by something.

On the cold ground, Xiao Yixian, whose chest was pierced, opened her eyes with difficulty. She looked with a distracted look at Xiao Yan, who was hunched over and had a thick black aura flowing all over his body. She felt extremely unfamiliar with him.

In pain, he murmured softly.

"Xiao Yan."

Then, Xiao Yixiang's vision was shrouded in darkness, and her consciousness slowly sank into silence.

At this time, the black energy on Xiao Yan's body had wrapped him tightly like armor, and only the outline of Xiao Yan could be barely seen.

And in that black armor, a pair of scarlet eyes were so conspicuous that the Iron Protector who was stared at by the scarlet eyes felt extremely cold from head to toe!

It does not come from strength, but from instinctive fear!

"Gulu."

Under the horrified gaze of the Iron Protector, Xiao Yan, who was deeply hidden under the black air, revealed a threatening sound like a wild beast. His blood, murderous aura, and hostility endlessly stimulated the Iron Protector's consciousness.

In the eyes of Iron Protector, Xiao Yan was no longer the insect he looked down upon, and he was not even a human being anymore.

At this moment, Xiao Yan was an ancient ferocious beast that acted entirely on instinct only to destroy what he hated.

"Um?!"

In the back mountain of the outer courtyard of Canaan College, Xiao Xun'er, who was listening to Ling Ying's report, suddenly frowned and looked towards the direction of the Black Horn Region.

For some reason, I felt a deep sense of uneasiness in my heart.

"Mr. Ling, is Brother Xiao Yan really okay?"

Xiao Xun'er asked in a deep voice, and Ling Ying bowed his head respectfully to answer.

"Please rest assured, young lady. Today is the annual auction in Black Seal City. Basically all the strong men have gathered at the auction house. The restaurant run by Young Master Xiao Yan is located quite far away from the auction house. No matter what, he will not be affected."

It was because of this that Ling Ying chose today to report to Xiao Xun'er. Even if there was a fight due to the robbery after the auction, it would be outside the city.

After all, no matter how evil the Black Horn Region is, those strong men still have to care about their face. Robbery is by no means a glorious thing, even if it is tacitly agreed to, and they will not do such a despicable thing in public.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Ling Ying confirmed that Xiao Yan would not encounter any danger today before coming to Canaan College to meet his young lady. Anyway, it was not far away, so he just hurried back as soon as possible.

After hearing Ling Ying's words, Xiao Xun'er felt relieved.
