Chapter 36: Rules: Only Rely on Oneself (1/2)

As those words were spoken, the entire venue fell silent for a few seconds.

The sky was nearing dusk, and the wind in the forest rustled, bringing with it a strong smell of blood.

Even Dantai Ying, who was immersed in her own world, came back to her senses and blinked her beautiful eyes.

What was happening? What had Ning Wuxie just said?

The atmosphere in the venue felt a bit off.

She looked at Jiang Ren and Li Luobing, and was momentarily stunned.

The expressions on their faces were simply too vivid.

Li Luobing’s eyes widened, her brows furrowed tightly, and her face was filled with disbelief. She remained completely still; although the lower half of her face was not visible, her shock and anger were still palpable!

Yet amidst the surprise, there was also a hint of guilt.

Jiang Ren’s expression was even more amusing.

He looked like a child whose sandcastle had been knocked down, staring blankly at Ning Wuxie, his mouth slightly agape, his whole body trembling lightly.

He seemed like he wanted to get angry but lacked the confidence to do so.

The reason was simple.

Ning Wuxie’s words struck hard! Each sentence pierced the heart!

Even he could not deny it!

In fact, he had always known that compared to his sister Li Luobing, he was just a piece of scrap metal.

He had no qualifications to be a disciple of the renowned Master Wuyuan; it was merely childish persistence in his youth that led him to inadvertently become his disciple.

In the invisible comparison with his master and senior sister, he felt increasingly inferior, but at the same time, his pride prevented him from admitting it.

He could only pretend not to care, deceiving himself, allowing himself to enjoy the protection from Master and senior sister without guilt.

At the same time, he secretly dreamed of a day when he would turn his fate around with some awakening constitution…

All along, no one had ever dared to reprimand him face to face like Ning Wuxie did.

It was as if the hidden pain in his heart was pointed out by Ning Wuxie right in front of Li Luobing!

Jiang Ren felt a burning pain in his cheeks, and even his head throbbed!

“I… I…”

He opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to argue, but his voice was so weak.

No, wait…

No matter how useless he was, his cultivation was still higher!

“What’s wrong? Admitting it?” Ning Wuxie added fuel to the fire.

“I’ll kill you!” Jiang Ren’s pent-up frustration and anger erupted instantly! The flying sword behind him shot up into the sky!

Dantai Ying and Xuan’er were startled, and they drew their long swords to block this inexplicable guy.

Xuan’er instinctively wanted to rush to Ning Wuxie’s side but was stopped by him.

He appeared unafraid, instead showing an excited expression:

“Brother Jiang wants to kill me? That’s fine, but I have to set a rule.”

“That is: Only rely on oneself!”

Jiang Ren’s face twisted in a ferocious frenzy.

He was completely broken!

“Then I’ll take that as your agreement.” Ning Wuxie smirked.

He glanced at Li Luobing behind Jiang Ren, and she indeed showed no intention of intervening.

This was his goal; from the moment he saw Jiang Ren, he knew a battle was inevitable.

Since that was the case, he had to ensure that Li Luobing would not intervene! If she joined in, he would truly be in grave danger.

Thus, he gradually broke down Jiang Ren, pointing out his inner pain.

Now, even if he wanted to kill him, he could only act alone, both to prove himself to Li Luobing and to prove himself to himself!
