Chapter 213: Swearing to Heaven and Earth? (Second Watch)

"You're insane!"

Jiang Die shouted in anger.

"We are insane, kill!"

The Unity Realm cultivators outside couldn't help but watch this grand spectacle.

Huh?

Seems... kind of fun!

Since they could only strike the barrier repeatedly, they might as well enjoy the show while doing so.

It was clear that the younger generation of the Jiang family harbored extreme hatred for this stunningly beautiful young woman, attacking with lethal intent in every move.

The beautiful woman was still restraining herself.

Still trying to persuade.

But with nothing but defense and evasion, and limited space, she had already been injured, while everyone else was frenziedly assaulting her.

"She can't hold back much longer."

A Unity Realm cultivator shrouded in black mist remarked.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Die began to retaliate.

Her pent-up pressure erupted at this moment.

"Is it all my fault? I asked you to trust me, yet none of you did. If you had all followed my lead, how could the Jiang family have fallen to such a state?"

"One after another, all of you are useless!"

"That Jiang Dingtian, a hypocrite who harmed his own kin for personal gain—with someone like him leading, the Jiang family’s downfall was inevitable!"

Jiang Die exploded, striking back.

In an instant, blood spilled from the younger generation of the Jiang family.

The sight of blood seemed to provoke Jiang Die further. She channeled her fear into rage, attacking wildly without restraint!

Screams of agony rang out.

Jiang Die’s combat prowess was simply too strong. With Jiang Tianxin absent, none of the other Jiang disciples stood a chance against her.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

The Unity Realm cultivators couldn’t help but sigh in amazement.

Cornered and desperate, yet fighting against their own kin.

It was tragic, pitiful even.

"You've grown lax." Lu Ye's voice cut through.

The Unity Realm cultivators jolted, nearly forgetting they were still trapped themselves.

The attacks resumed in an instant.

The golden barrier grew increasingly dim.

"I'll kill all you worthless trash!" Jiang Die roared in fury.

Screams of agony rang out incessantly.

Jiang Die had gone mad, slaughtering Jiang family disciples one after another in her frenzy.

Blood soaked into the earth.

She looked like a demon possessed.

Finally, the golden barrier shattered.

The numerous Unity Realm experts all paused and turned their gaze to Lu Ye.

"Retreat a hundred li."

Lu Ye spoke.

Immediately, the Unity Realm experts sighed in relief and hastily withdrew.

It seemed safety was at hand.

Lu Ye walked toward Jiang Die, who stood amidst a sea of corpses, her eyes vacant.

She had slaughtered a group of the last remaining Jiang family members, while weaker ones cowered in the distance, trembling in fear.

"Have you won?"

Jiang Die suddenly spoke.

Lu Ye's footsteps halted as he reached the critical point ten li from Jiang Die.

Truth be told, even now, Jiang Die had never once regretted her actions.

She didn't regret what she had done—if anything, she only regretted not succeeding.

"Could it be that you've won?"

Lu Ye was actually quite unaccustomed to exchanging words before killing someone. The trope of villains dying because they talked too much had happened far too often.

Just ask Master Lijian if you don't believe it!

But this was Jiang Die!

She deserved it!

Simply killing her outright felt like a waste to Lu Ye, somehow insufficient!

"I haven't won, but I haven't lost either!"

"Hahaha..."

Jiang Die burst into maniacal laughter.

"Even if I die today, you once loved me—loved me so deeply! My betrayal will leave you with emotional scars that will last a lifetime. No matter how strong you become, no matter how far you rise, you'll never be able to forget this heartbreak!"

"Lu Ye, you lack love, yet you are hurt by love. The eight people you loved all betrayed you, all giving you the YinYang DaoDevouring Gu at the moments you loved them most."

"You will not only lack love in the future, but you will also fear it!"

"Even if I die, every time you receive love from now on, you will think of me!"

"I am the biggest stumbling block to your longing for love!"

"Hahaha, Lu Ye, my husband, my dear husband, I haven’t lost! I haven’t lost! Hahaha..."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Suddenly, multicolored light filled the air, and Shen Xitong, who had not appeared for a very, very long time, emerged beside Lu Ye at this moment.

The moment she appeared, she clung to Lu Ye's arm.

Shen Xitong, whose flawless beauty stunned all living beings, seemed to quiet the very winds of heaven and earth the moment she arrived.

Perhaps her beauty was no longer limited to mere attraction to living beings.

"Brother, you’re talking so much with your ex-wife again? Don’t you care about Xitong’s feelings at all?" Shen Xitong hugged Lu Ye’s arm, pouting like a little girl.

Lu Ye...

Jiang Die froze.

She stared at Shen Xitong, then at Lu Ye, then back at Shen Xitong clinging to his arm, her chest pressing against it.

"You are... Sister Jiang Die? I think so? Sorry, sorry, if I got it wrong, don’t blame me. When Brother told me about his ex-wives, he mentioned you the least. I’m really not very familiar with you." Shen Xitong apologized sweetly.

"Who is she?" Jiang Die’s voice suddenly turned shrill.

"I’m Brother’s current Dao companion, ex-wife sister. Nice to meet you, I’m Shen Xitong. Oh, well, whether we meet or not doesn’t matter, since sister is about to die anyway."

"I don’t agree with what sister said. Who says Brother has no one to love him now? The wounds you all gave him have long been healed by my tenderness and love. Otherwise, how could he have taken another Dao companion?"

"And this time, he only chose me alone, not like before when he picked eight of you at once!"

"Eight!"

"So, you don’t need to worry about Brother anymore. He will cultivate well, love and be loved, and happily return to his peak."

"I don’t believe it!"

Jiang Die was practically going mad, her hair disheveled, her face twisted.

Impossible!

She knew Lu Ye lacked love—his behavior was the textbook example of someone starved for affection.

Once he loved someone, he would pour his heart out for them.

That was why she knew how to hurt him. Even if she died in the struggle for the Dao, she hadn’t truly lost.

Because she had left Lu Ye with scars that could never fade.

"I don’t believe he could ever recover from heartbreak. This is just an act of yours. I don’t believe it!!!"

"Then how can you believe it?" Shen Xitong asked curiously.

"Unless, unless..."

"Unless Lu Ye admits it himself, unless Lu Ye swears to the heavens and earth, otherwise I won’t believe a word of your nonsense! It’s all lies—don’t think you can fool me!"

Shen Xitong laughed.

"Ding... hehehe..."

She laughed with sheer delight.

Lu Ye also smiled.

Swear to the heavens and earth?
