All My Superpowers Come from the Law of Causality

Chapter 313 - 249: I’m Just Giving You a Chance (2)

His pupils suddenly contracted.

The unbearable and humiliating memories flooded his mind, and he instinctively shouted:

"The bandits are coming!!"

This sentence almost made his comrades collapse to the ground and also alarmed the other guards not far away. The small town quickly sprang into action.

This area had several rather treacherous mountains, inhabited by several gangs of ferocious and ruthless bandits. They had some experience dealing with bandits, so they quickly organized an effective resistance and response.

But.

How could these ordinary soldiers and civilians possibly resist the bandits, who were as fierce as wolves and tigers, and who spent years licking blood from the blade, with all members practicing martial arts?

Very soon.

The resisting guards were easily defeated.

"Brothers, avenge Old Six!"

"Kill!!"

The bandit leader shouted, raising his bloodied long knife and leading the charge into the small town.

At this very moment——

"Boom!"

A thunderous sound came from behind the bandits, continuous and increasingly clear at an extremely fast pace.

It seemed to be approaching rapidly.

The faces of many bandits changed.

The townspeople and guards looked overjoyed.

Someone shouted:

"With thunder in his wake, banish evil and drive away demons!"

"It’s the benevolent Su Xin!"

Every appearance of Su Xin was almost always accompanied by supersonic movement, causing waves of sonic booms, which sounded like rolling thunder to many civilians.

In addition to Su Xin’s usual deeds, some people came up with these two lines, so that whenever such thunderous sounds were heard, people would remember these words and know that Su Xin had arrived.

The bandit leader’s expression also changed.

But he wasn’t greatly afraid and said loudly:

"Everyone, don’t panic. The Idle King never kills. As long as we don’t defy him directly, he won’t attack us. At worst, we’ll just come back next time."

Upon hearing this, many bandits felt much more at ease, seemingly reminded of the many rumors about Su Xin, and gradually calmed down.

Soon.

Su Xin arrived at the scene.

He glanced at the twenty-some corpses on the ground, shook his head, and sighed lightly, saying:

"Stop killing, back off."

Although the bandit leader didn’t greatly fear Su Xin, Su Xin’s strength was indeed far above theirs, so he dared not show the slightest disrespect. Hearing Su Xin’s order, he said nothing and led his men to turn and leave on horseback.

"Ding! Obtained 227 karma points!"

"Ding! Obtained 181 karma points!"...

After the bandits left, a series of system notifications resounded in Su Xin’s mind.

At this point.

Someone from the direction of the town shouted: "Benevolent one, why didn’t you kill those bandits?"

Upon hearing this, someone immediately echoed:

"Yeah! Benevolent one, you should save us to the end, please kill those bandits, otherwise we’ll never have peace."

"With your strength, benevolent one, it would be easy to kill those bandits, why spare them? You’re condoning evildoers!"

"Benevolent one, by condoning evildoers like this, you’re unworthy of the title of benevolence!"

Somehow, the crowd’s pleas gradually turned accusatory.

Maybe it was because they subconsciously saw Su Xin as a stiff and foolish do-gooder, who never dealt harsh blows to anyone, making them feel Su Xin would certainly not harm them, thinking it reasonable for Su Xin to do good to the end.

So, someone shouted:

"Su Xin, you go around saving people every day, but actually haven’t saved anyone. Such a person isn’t fit to be called benevolent."

"True benevolence should punish evil and promote good, both promoting good and punishing evil, otherwise, evildoers will return next time, and all you’ve done will be for nothing."

Su Xin turned his head, looking at the crowd.

He had crafted this persona to earn karma points, not caring how people perceived him, as these were just Otherworld natives, their lives or deaths irrelevant to him.

But being mocked to his face like this, he saw no need to endure it just to maintain the persona.

"Hmph!"

Su Xin snorted coldly.

Like a bolt of thunder exploding in the open, it startled the town’s people into instinctively shutting up.

At this point, Su Xin took a sudden step, charging into the crowd. Before anyone could react, he grabbed the dozen or so people who spoke harshly earlier and casually threw them out.

These people flew through the air like arrows, precisely landing in front of the bandits who had already fled a kilometer away, crashing to the ground, unable to move, and then were trampled beyond recognition by the rushing horses.

This scene not only scared the bandits but also shocked the townspeople, leaving them frozen in place, not daring to move or speak disrespectfully again.

Su Xin said calmly:

"I go around saving people, not to save any one of you, but just to give you a chance to survive."

"Just a chance."

"Whether you survive or not shouldn’t depend on how much I do for you; it depends on whether you seize this opportunity, whether by getting stronger, escaping, or fighting back, you need to make the choice yourself."

"If you don’t want this opportunity, you can ask the bandits to turn back now."

"If you accept this opportunity and still get killed, it only means you’re too weak."

"Remember, no one is obligated to help you, not even me. My goal isn’t to save people, but to give the weak a chance."

"Also, not liking to kill doesn’t mean I can’t kill. Don’t provoke me."

Finishing his speech, Su Xin was about to turn and leave.

But having taken just a few steps, he paused, looking calmly ahead.

Before him, a dozen figures were approaching in a mighty manner, all exhibiting top-grade body techniques, moving like threads of smoke, gently approaching.

Evidently, all were quite powerful.

The group quickly arrived.

The leading young man in a purple robe, carrying a long sword on his back, wore an indifferent expression and mildly asked:

"Are you Su Xin?"

"Yes, any issues?"

Su Xin casually nodded.

The young man in the purple robe slightly furrowed his brow:

"I am Bai Bingfeng, an elder of the mid-tier sect Profound Nether Sect. I’ve heard about a strong man in this region who interferes in others’ affairs recklessly with his strength. Su Xin, what do you have to say about this?"

Upon these words, the onlookers from the town were immediately abuzz.

"It’s an elder from the Profound Nether Sect?"

"Elders from mid-tier sects should be top experts in the Life Acupoint Realm, right? This young?"

"In the entire Lingtai County, a Life Acupoint Realm expert could act unhindered, possibly stronger than the benevolent one."

"Looking at them, they don’t seem friendly; I wonder if the benevolent one is their match."

"Tch! What benevolent one, he just killed over ten innocent civilians earlier and never killed any bandits before. I think he’s no benevolent one, but a big villain instead."

"What nonsense are you spouting? They badmouthed the benevolent one first, and that’s why they were killed."

"Yeah, the benevolent one at least saved our lives, surely deserving our thanks. How can you say that?"

"What life-saving grace? He only said one sentence without doing anything, let alone eliminating the bandits. What life-saving grace is that? How laughable!"

The townspeople disagreed.

But almost everyone could see that Bai Bingfeng and the others were not friendly visitors.

Su Xin, naturally, could also see this.

He chuckled, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, and said: "No... I don’t know what Elder Bai intends to do, please just say it."

Bai Bingfeng’s frown deepened, his gaze growing sharper, and he rebuked: "Su Xin, I came here from afar intending to have a good talk with you. Since you’re so stubborn, don’t blame me for being merciless!"

As he spoke, the True Qi within him erupted.

The raging and tempestuous True Qi began to surge, enveloping his body like an invisible storm.
