240: Chapter 240 I Must Kill Her

At the thought that Su Chen might currently be subjected to all sorts of unspeakable methods by that vixen...

Jiang Luoli's heart felt as if it were being squeezed tightly by an invisible giant hand.

The pain was so intense it felt as though it would bleed.

But what made her feel even more despair and shame was...

That in her extreme anger, her clothes, which she had just changed into...

Instead, because of the images of Su Chen surfacing in her mind...

Once again, she lost control.

Under the overlapping weight of shame and fury...

Jiang Luoli was on the verge of a breakdown.

"I'm going to kill her..."

"I must kill her!"

At this thought, Jiang Luoli's blood boiled.

She unsheathed her longsword, prepared to find Su Daji and fight to the death.

However, just as she reached the door of the secret chamber, her footsteps came to a sudden, jarring halt.

Reason barely managed to reclaim a sliver of high ground amidst her extreme rage.

What would going there even accomplish?

Although she had broken through to the Thirteenth Stage...

What about Su Daji?

Since it was confirmed that Su Daji was the Palace Master of the Central China Hall of Valor...

Then, having been born into a family of martial artists, she had naturally heard of Su Daji's battle records after her own death in her previous life.

She had slaughtered her way through the entire Celestial Court of the Immortal Realm, causing the gods and Buddhas across the heavens to fall.

And now?

With Su Daji's already unreasonably powerful foundation, plus nearly a thousand years of accumulation, and the nourishment from five days of frantically plucking Su Chen's primordial yang...

Her strength had likely already reached the Fourteenth Stage.

Or perhaps even higher.

That was a chasm of cultivation that inspired despair.

If she went now, not only would she fail to rescue Su Chen...

But she would also relive the scenes of the incompetent wife from those previous days.

Crushed under that vixen's feet.

And then, right before her eyes, the vixen would continue to wantonly humiliate her husband on the bed.

"No, I can't be impulsive."

"Alone, I am absolutely no match for that slutty fox."

"I need help."

In a flash of insight...

Three peerless figures surfaced in Jiang Luoli's mind.

The Huaxi Hall of Heroic Spirits Master, Zhuge Jinyu.

The North China Hall of Valor Master, Ye Jingjun.

The Ancestor of Wangchen Temple, Cang Mingyue.

Three Transcendent Heroic Spirits who also shared deep bonds with Su Chen.

She had seen those three women during the Heroic Spirit Contract Ceremony.

In Jiang Luoli's impression, although these three also deeply loved Su Chen...

On the surface at least, they seemed much more normal than that completely demonized Su Daji.

At least they hadn't started a brawl on the spot to fight over Su Chen.

If Jiang Luoli remembered correctly...

The three women who appeared at the Heroic Spirit Contract Ceremony were not their true bodies.

Their true bodies...

Should currently be at the East Sea, dealing with the troublesome monsters that had just appeared.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Although Jiang Luoli had once regarded the three Transcendent Heroic Spirits as her greatest rivals in love...

Right now, Su Daji's appearance forced her to form a united front with them.

"If they knew..."

"That the beloved they had waited a thousand years for was imprisoned as a sex slave by that bitch Su Daji shortly after they left, being used day and night..."

"With their obsession, they will definitely join forces with me to skin that fox spirit alive!"

"I don't believe that the three of them—at least Thirteenth Stage veteran Transcendent Heroic Spirits—plus me at the Thirteenth Stage, the four of us together, could lose to that slutty fox!"

With this thought, Jiang Luoli no longer hesitated.

Her delicate body blurred.

She turned into a streak of light, not bothering to dodge, and smashed straight through the mountain.

She sped at full velocity toward the East Sea.

Of course, if Jiang Luoli could see what would happen in the future after choosing to find Zhuge Jinyu, she would regret this decision countless times.

...

The wind howled shrilly in her ears.

Jiang Luoli pushed her Thirteenth Stage cultivation to the limit, tracing a graceful arc across the sky.

However.

The further east she flew...

The closer she got to Jianghai City...

The more a layer of shock and unease shrouded her heart.

The scenes she witnessed along the way were far too abnormal.

Logically, the path from Zhaoge to Jianghai City...

Should be the flat, fertile Central Plains heartland.

The most densely populated and elite region of all Great Xia.

But what Jiang Luoli saw...

Was a horrifying upheaval occurring on the earth below.

It was as if the entire world was being wantonly kneaded by an invisible giant hand.

In some places, the earth's crust tore open violently without warning.

Towering snow-capped peaks thousands of meters high rose abruptly from the middle of the plains, piercing the clouds.

Once rich, low-lying wetlands saw their tectonic plates fracture and sink.

Underground rivers and back-flowing river water converged.

In the blink of an eye, they turned into bottomless giant lakes, swallowing countless fertile fields and villages.

Under such terrifying, ongoing geological movements...

The transportation infrastructure that modern humanity took pride in was completely paralyzed.

Sturdy high-speed rail viaducts snapped inch by inch like twisted dough, hanging over bottomless abysses.

Highways were ruthlessly melted by magma surging from underground, leaving only endless asphalt flowing in silence.

But even so.

Along the way, there were still countless refugees coming from the direction of Jianghai City.

Like desperate ants.

Riding in off-road vehicles that could still start.

Or even on foot, wailing.

They formed waves of fleeing torrents, desperately squeezing toward the inland.

"This... what happened?"

Watching this terrifying scene, Jiang Luoli's eyes went wide.

She couldn't speak for higher realms.

But with her current Thirteenth Stage Transcendent realm cultivation...

Even she couldn't cause such terrifying changes to the originally peaceful surface of the earth.

Before the shock of the surface changes had passed...

Unstable fluctuations came from the sky.

In the perception of Jiang Luoli's divine sense...

Certain areas of the "sky" that had been quite stable, covering the entire planet like a protective shield...

Began to show inconspicuous small cracks.

Inside the cracks was a purple-black space.

Its depth was completely undetectable.

Seeing this, Jiang Luoli cautiously extended several strands of divine sense to investigate, but quickly retracted them.

Inside those cracks...

There were actually some unspeakably terrifying auras.

They even made her, a Transcendent martial artist, feel palpitations.

"Oh no..."

"This is..."

Jiang Luoli's face showed a look of horror.

She was, after all, from a martial arts family; her understanding of this world was far greater than that of other ordinary martial artists.

Outside these cracks...

Were the monsters that martial artists had been fighting to keep away from Earth.

They were also the greatest enemies of Earth's martial artists.

They seemed to exist in another space completely parallel to Earth.

After the Spiritual Energy Recovery, some monsters began to come to Earth through spatial cracks that appeared occasionally in random areas.

The frequency of these appearances was quite low.

But even so, in the centuries since the Spiritual Energy Recovery, these monsters had still caused the deaths of many Earth martial artists.

There were even Transcendent realm existences among them!

These monsters seemed to be born for battle.

Not only were they extremely aggressive...

But even the small monsters possessed a certain level of combat power as soon as they appeared.
