Chapter 049 Absolutely Impossible

"Get out!"

Vermilion Bird watched as the dozen sword qi interweaved towards her.

She intervened to block, but in an instant, the sword qi extinguished her true flames. Vermilion Bird retreated swiftly, yet a strand of sword qi nearly severed her wing.

Lu Ye's current heartlessness was almost unbelievable to Vermilion Bird.

How had Lu Ye become like this?

In his previous life, Lu Ye could be described as sunny and cheerful, with a touch of humor. Anyone who interacted with him would feel his charm.

Except for his ruthless actions against the Demon and alien races, he was truly commendable towards Humans, and very friendly, even equal, towards the weak.

Now, he actually wanted to kill Yue Hongling, to kill her.

Seeing Lu Ye about to rise, Vermilion Bird dared not linger any longer. His killing intent had arisen; if she left Yue Hongling here, Yue Hongling would surely die.

Their figures vanished.

Lu Ye did not pursue. His body, not yet fully risen, casually sat back down cross-legged.

Yue Hongling was also dealt with.

Lu Ye felt entirely at ease.

The love he had longed for and fantasized about had ended in such a way. His closest senior brother did not believe him, but instead trusted a Demon he had known for only a short time.

For a Demon who wanted to kill him, he had harmed his senior brother.

Now Yue Hongling should understand everything.

Only by understanding everything can one deeply realize where one went wrong, and at the same time, feel even more pain.

Lu Ye had already vented his anger.

Next, Yue Hongling would live in pain.

If she died, so be it.

With his mind clear, Lu Ye re-entered a state of cultivation, and this time, his cultivation speed became even faster.

His cultivation had reached the ninth layer of the Infant Breaking stage, heading towards the great perfection cage. Breaking through to the Void Refining stage would not be difficult for him.

But he still needed to be cautious.

Accumulate first!

...

Vermilion Bird took Yue Hongling away, still muttering her extreme dissatisfaction with Lu Ye's deadly intent towards Yue Hongling.

Her dissatisfaction perhaps stemmed from her fear that she might end up like Yue Hongling.

Too ruthless, to the point where it seemed unlike Lu Ye.

"How could he be so deadly towards you? Does he not care at all about past affections? Even if you are not his lover in this life, you are still his junior sister!"

Yue Hongling's eyes were vacant.

"When I took action against him in my past life, did I ever consider that he was my lover, my senior brother?" Yue Hongling murmured to herself.

This single sentence left Vermilion Bird somewhat speechless.

"In my past life, I never understood what really happened. Can you explain it to me properly? Was that Feng Wuxie really someone you liked? How could you fall for such a cowardly Demon?"

"I haven't had any contact with that guy, but isn't it true that because he had a trace of phoenix bloodline, he had a harem in the Demon realm, deceiving and swindling? Many Demons were infatuated with his phoenix bloodline and wanted to mate with him, hoping to give birth to..."

"Uh..."

Seeing Yue Hongling's melancholic gaze, Vermilion Bird quickly shut her mouth.

"Why didn't you tell me in your past life?"

"In my past life, who knew which Feng Wuxie you were talking about? And I didn't participate in such battles back then, otherwise I would have died."

"Lu Ye, though bloodthirsty, was truly fierce. At that time, the Demons, Devils, Buddhists, Ghosts, Divines, and even the spirits all joined forces to hunt him down, but they were all routed by him."

"The casualties were everywhere!"

Yue Hongling's heart ached even more.

Because at that time, when she learned of Feng Wuxie's death, she was consumed by hatred and grief, shutting herself away for a long time.

She never truly understood the specifics.

If only she had known a little...

"What should I do for my senior brother to forgive me?" Yue Hongling asked Vermilion Bird, but also herself.

Vermilion Bird couldn't help but fall silent.

From the battle between Lu Ye and AncientModern Tianzun in the past life, it was clear that he had a significant chance of attaining sainthood.

But they ruined it.

Destroying someone's path to enlightenment is an unforgivable sin.

Especially something as significant as preventing someone from attaining sainthood.

A saint... that's a being that appears once in a hundred thousand years.

And betrayal...

Vermilion Bird couldn't help but shake her head. If such a thing had happened to her, the first thing she would have done upon reincarnating would be to kill those betrayers. It would have been a testament to her good temper.

Seeing Vermilion Bird's reaction, Yue Hongling spat out a mouthful of blood, her expression darkening.

Vermilion Bird hurriedly helped stabilize Yue Hongling's injuries.

"Chu Ling was wrong, and I was wrong, hahaha, so wrong, so laughably wrong."

"Birdie, is it possible that you also misunderstood our senior brother?"

"Impossible!"

Vermilion Bird's reaction was extremely intense.

"I've already found the original 'Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Demon Scripture,' and there's no such technique as he mentioned. He's just a butcher who indiscriminately slaughters Demons. I absolutely cannot have misunderstood him!" Vermilion Bird's voice grew much louder.

Yue Hongling did not refute anymore and fell silent.

Vermilion Bird calmed her emotions and let out a gentle sigh.

"Forget it, don't think too much. You should focus on recovering from your injuries first. Only by restoring yourself can you have the chance to seek Lu Ye's forgiveness," Vermilion Bird said.

Yue Hongling nodded heavily.

She began to recover from her injuries.

However, the injuries were too severe this time, and restoring herself to full strength was clearly not a simple task.

Vermilion Bird looked up at the sky.

Yue Hongling's words echoed in her mind.

Had she also misunderstood Lu Ye?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

It must be impossible!

...

On the other hand, the news that Yue Hongling, alone, had counterattacked more than half of the elite alien race besieging her and was rescued by a Demon spread wildly across the ancient battlefield of elites.

Everyone who heard this news was stunned in place.

Celestial Lord, were their ears playing tricks on them?

How could this be?

How did this happen?

Yue Hongling said she had some matters to handle, and then she charged alone into the alien race's formation, engaging in a fierce battle with them.

And she achieved such an astonishing feat?

Truly worthy of being the new generation's top war god of the Humans, she was incredibly fierce.

"This is too much!" Feng Longxiang roared in anger.

"Assemble, everyone assemble!"

"Damn it, the Demons, the Devils, the Divine, the Ghosts, very well!"

The elite Humans were filled with fervor, howling as they began to launch attacks on the alien race.

What the alien race had done had truly angered many.

For a time, the entire ancient battlefield of elites became even more chaotic.

When the Buddhist heard this news, after a moment of consideration, a Buddhist disciple roared, "The alien race has gone too far. Although we often accompany the ancient Buddha by the dim lamp, we are still part of the Humans, fellow disciples!"

"Here!"

"Join the Humans in exterminating the Devils!"

"Amitabha Buddha!"

As the situation unfolded, days passed one after another.

Finally, with a tremendous roar, the fourth to sixth layers of the Ancient Battlefield of the Prodigies were opened.

Lu Ye opened his eyes.
