Chapter 343 - 342: Suppressing With Just One Hand
chapter 343: chapter 342: suppressing with just one handzhu yan always had the same dream recalling the events from two thousand years ago.
“who are you?” zhu yan watched the newcomer warily. being a six-star contracted beast, an invincible creature, he couldn’t comprehend how anyone could have secretly slipped into his room.
“you can call me du ye, the envoy.” the newcomer replied with a gentle smile, “two days ago, following the orders of your master, you killed a number of individuals in front of everyone.”
“so what if i did? those individuals had resorted to despicable tactics and violated the rules of the competition in an attempt to kill me. their actions irked my master and he ordered me to kill them. there is nothing wrong with that. the ‘declaration of peace’ clearly states that contracted beasts have the right to self-defense. those killings were acts of legitimate self-defense.”
du ye, the envoy, looked at zhu yan as if he were a senseless monkey, “legitimate self-defense? i didn’t expect the beasts of this realm to be this ignorant. being a beast myself, i’m ashamed for you.”
“you–” zhu yan was enraged by du ye’s words.
unhurriedly, du ye continued, “do you really believe the lives of humans and beasts are equivalent? you killed quite a few humans, all of whom were at the body integration realm.”
“the human race will not consider your reasons for killing. they will only see that you have killed human beings and will view you as an extremely dangerous contracted beast that needs to be eliminated.”
zhu yan knitted his eyebrows, “contracted beasts and humans are friends. humans wouldn’t treat us like this. besides, i only acted upon my master’s orders.”
although his master wasn’t exactly friendly, being treated the same way as other contracted beasts around him, zhu yan didn’t think there was anything improper about his own treatment.
du ye sneered, “master? he didn’t care about who gave the orders, he only claimed you were out of control at the time, thereby distancing himself from the incident.”
“think about it. if humans truly cared for you, why would they sign a master-servant contract and not a contract of equals? why would they build air-raid shelters, to guard against whom? why would they create markets for selling contracted beasts? would you sell your friends like they were merchandise?”
seeing that zhu yan remained unconvinced, du ye lost interest in arguing with this ‘stupid monkey’. he simply told zhu yan how to terminate the master-servant contract and then took his leave.
everything zhu yan endured over the next few days was within du ye’s expectations.
no one mentioned the issue of self-defense, as if it were a matter beyond discussion. the master put all the blame on zhu yan, and to appease him, said that these measures were just temporary. holding onto a sliver of hope, zhu yan reluctantly chose to believe him.
however, in the end, his master betrayed zhu yan’s trust and sent him to the execution ground himself.
only then did zhu yan realize the truth. all talk of friendship and equal treatment were lies. the human race never saw contracted beasts as their equals.
zhu yan, having given up all hope, terminated the master-servant contract and went on a rampage.
eight contracted beasts gathered to attack zhu yan, intending to wipe out this unstable element.
zhu yan also terminated these eight contracted beasts’ contracts, told them about his experience, and claimed that the humans were merely using them.
but they disregarded him, believing in the everlasting friendship between them and their masters and that they would never betray each other.
foolish creatures!
right before he was about to die, zhu yan comprehended the will of transcendance tribulation stage, and turned the tables, slaughtering both the contracted beasts and humans.
zhu yan became an invincible entity, dominating the entire continent. he sought his hiding master, determined to kill him.
the incident involving zhu yan made humans aware that the master-servant contract could be dissolved. therefore, they dared not trust contracted beasts anymore, and threw them out one after another, hiding themselves inside the air-raid shelters.
zhu yan watched as the abandoned contracted beasts, still refused to give up their
