Chapter 1048: Chapter 714: Skin and Bones
Xing Meng looked incredulously at Banji in his arms, recalling that scene, his face changed dramatically, and then he suddenly pushed Banji away!
"You, you actually killed me?"
Xing Meng looked at his wife in shock, filled with rage.
Banji, having been pushed away by Xing Meng, felt bewildered and said, "Husband, what are you saying? How could I possibly kill you?"
"You still dare to quibble! Just now...you didn’t hold back at all!"
Xing Meng’s spine turned cold remembering the shocking scene of his wife’s assassination attempt.
She was the wife he trusted the most!
But when she made her move, there was no hesitation, her strike was lethal, decisive, and ruthless!
Just as she had attacked Ye Qiniang moments ago.
Banji said in a deep voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? Aren’t you perfectly fine? I’m right here, when did I ever try to kill you?"
"Maybe you didn’t kill me now, but that doesn’t mean you won’t in the future!" Xing Meng shouted angrily.
They had just seen the scene where Lan Keju was killed by the golden-armored man, and then Lan Keju really was killed.
The scene was exactly the same!
The future reflecting reality.
Now Xing Meng had seen a scene of himself being killed by his wife in the future; how could he possibly get over that hurdle in his heart?
Although Banji had not seen the illusion of Lan Keju being killed, she had heard others mention it and understood what was going on, but the thought of her own husband doubting her made her very angry.
She raised her voice and scolded loudly, "What are you doing! You even believe in such illusions? We’ve been married for a thousand years, we know each other inside and out, would I really harm you? If I wanted to harm you, how many opportunities have I had in these thousand years?"
Xing Meng hesitated slightly at these words, his gaze uncertain.
That was indeed true; if his wife wanted to harm him, he would probably have died tens of thousands of times during their intimate moments in bed.
"Let me say a fair word."
Xiang Beifei stepped forward at the right moment, as he loved to stir things up by saying things that seemed fair.
"The Rushou Ruins contain secrets that even the Dao Palace covets; perhaps this time the great opportunity in the Rushou Ruins has fallen upon Daoist Xing Meng? Such an opportunity would drive others mad! To be honest, the temptation to control the entire Rushou Ruins is immense. Could it be that Daoist Xing Meng is the chosen one of the ruins?"
Xiang Beifei looked at Xing Meng with great surprise.
Hearing Xiang Beifei’s words, Xing Meng recalled his identity as a member of the Iron Dao Race and found Xiang Beifei’s words more and more reasonable.
He was a strong figure of the Iron Dao Race, a branch of the ancient Rushou Tribe!
Although the Iron Dao Race’s glory was no more, there might be Rushou Tribe blood flowing in his veins!
Re-casting the glory of his ancestors is a duty he cannot shirk!
How could he let a woman ruin his fortune?
The more Xing Meng thought about it, the angrier he became. Glaring at his wife, he gritted his teeth and said, "That’s right! I am the heir of these ruins, the chosen one of the Rushou Ruins, and you—"
Men die for wealth, birds die for food.
The Rushou Tribe once stood on equal footing with the Dao Palace. If the opportunities in the Rushou Ruins could only fall into the hands of one person, granting them supreme legacy power, it wouldn’t be impossible for even a loving couple to kill each other!
"The chosen one? Haha!"
Banji was angered to laughter by Xing Meng, and she said, "You’ve been cultivating for thousands of years, and your brain is still this foolish! Look at yourself; if you were the chosen one, would I have needed to follow you around burning, killing, and looting all these years? The chosen one needs to rely on me selling my beauty to find targets for you to hunt? The chosen one lets you go out behind my back to fool around with other female cultivators?"
She had thrown all caution to the wind and blurted out things Xing Meng had done in the past.
Xing Meng was also angry and humiliated, and said, "So you’ve held a grudge against me for a long time! You think I’ve wronged you, don’t you? That explains a lot, no wonder you’d kill me in the future! To seize my opportunity! Rather than let you kill me in the future, I might as well kill you now!"
Boom!
A fierce killing intent suddenly erupted from Xing Meng, pushing towards Banji!
"You really dare to lay a hand on me? Fine! Fine!"
Banji was forced back half a step by Xing Meng’s aura and instantly became furious!
Buzz!
A pink glow emanated from her, a Dao Realm aura no weaker than Xing Meng’s hovered around her, crashing towards Xing Meng defiantly.
"Since you believe in these baseless prophecies so much, let’s assume the prophecy is true, which means I will definitely be able to kill you. What will you fight me with?"
Banji’s voice accompanied her assault, roaring towards him!
Hearing this, Xing Meng burned with rage: "You vile woman, you indeed have the intention to kill me! I’ll kill you now to prevent future trouble for myself after entering the ruins!"
Boom! Boom!
The two of them engaged in combat immediately!
...
...
The Diviner was already dumbfounded.
How could a marriage of thousands of years fall apart just like that?
One moment it was "husband" and "wife," the next they became mortal enemies?
This level of affection seems unreliable.
"Their fight was rather sudden, what should we do?" the Diviner asked.
Xiang Beifei touched his forehead and said helplessly, "It has nothing to do with us anyway."
It didn’t matter who won or lost this battle; he even hoped the couple would fight to the death! That way, things would be easier for him.
Buzz!
The Inquiry Dao Realm experts’ moves were extremely powerful, showing no mercy and their intense fluctuations also affected Xiang Beifei and the others, knocking them away as they were not positioned far from the battlefield.
