Chapter 482: Chapter 482 Scumbag Chapter 482: Chapter 482 Scumbag Looking at Jiang Heng before her, Jiang Ruoyao felt utterly disheartened. She stood up to face him, her voice still quivering with tears as she spoke, “Jiang Heng, do you really have to be so ruthless?”

Jiang Heng glanced at Zhong Niangyao and Lu Yichen, then turned back to Jiang Ruoyao. His usual gentleness had completely faded, “Jiang Ruoyao, don’t blame me for this. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have come to this godforsaken place today. Every man for himself, heaven’s wrath will be upon those who don’t look out for themselves, so don’t pretend you don’t want to leave this place either.”

“Jiang Heng, I never would have imagined you’d turn out this way,” Jiang Ruoyao said, shaking her head in disappointment. “I must have been blind in the past to have fallen for you.”

At this point, Jiang Heng had no excess emotions to spare; all his attention was fixed on Zhong Niangyao and Lu Yichen. After weighing his options, he decided it was better to deal with Jiang Ruoyao first.

Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao were a couple and would undoubtedly present a united front. Instead of going head-to-head with them, it seemed more strategic to first take out Jiang Ruoyao and then find a way to drive a wedge between the couple, creating more opportunities for himself.

He wasn’t the slightest bit worried about Zhong Niangyao and Lu Yichen coming to Jiang Ruoyao’s rescue.

From the very start, he had clearly observed that the couple had been watching from the sidelines. Therefore, he wasn’t concerned that they would intervene.

With that in mind, Jiang Heng turned his gaze away from Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao, focusing all his attention on Jiang Ruoyao. His eyes were fierce, his whole being exuding a thick, murderous intent.

Confronted with Jiang Heng’s almost irrational state, a touch of fear unavoidably rose in Jiang Ruoyao’s heart, “Jiang Heng, what do you think you’re doing? I’m telling you, if you dare to kill me, I’ll visit my parents in their dreams once I’m out of here and tell them it was you. They won’t let you off either.”

“You’re actually reminding me,” Jiang Heng said with a crazed smile on his face. “Once I get out, I’ll definitely find a powerful monk to exorcise you, so you’ll dissipate into ash and never ascend to heaven.”

Jiang Ruoyao looked at the vicious man before her, hardly able to believe that this was the same tender and caring boyfriend she had only moments ago.

With that, Jiang Heng raised the Dagger and charged at Jiang Ruoyao.

Seeing Jiang Heng’s approach, Jiang Ruoyao felt fear swell within her and desperately tried to dodge. But while retreating, she accidentally kicked something and fell to the ground.

How could Jiang Heng miss such a perfect opportunity?

He rushed forward, raising the Dagger high, and plunged it toward Jiang Ruoyao.

The sharp tip of the blade twinkled sinisterly in the dim light, swinging straight for Jiang Ruoyao’s chest.

“Ahh–”

Jiang Ruoyao, with nowhere to hide, could only close her eyes and let out a piercing scream.

But with her eyes closed for what seemed like an eternity, the anticipated pain never came. She couldn’t help but open her eyes and saw a figure standing before her.

A pair of tender white hands had tightly grabbed Jiang Heng’s wrist, the one holding the Dagger, immobilizing it completely.

The one who had stopped Jiang Heng’s action was none other than Zhong Niangyao.

He saw her face, cold, hands that seemed delicate yet possessed great strength, preventing Jiang Heng’s hand from advancing any further.

Jiang Heng glared maliciously at Zhong Nianyao and then, with a forceful twist, turned the dagger in another direction, aiming to plunge it into Zhong Nianyao’s abdomen.

However, just as he began to move, a tremendous force kicked straight to his abdomen, sending him flying several meters before he hit a wall and came to a stop.

Even with great effort, for the time being, Jiang Heng was unable to stand up. He felt the pain in his abdomen intensifying as he clutched his stomach, then became somewhat uneasy.

He looked at the person who had kicked him several meters and caused him to be injured, a trace of fear flickered in the depths of his eyes.

The one who had kicked Jiang Heng away was none other than Lu Yichen. His icy gaze fell on Jiang Heng, devoid of any superfluous emotion.

In his eyes, Jiang Heng’s existence was seemingly nonexistent. Perhaps to him, such an insignificant presence didn’t even warrant a glance.

“Sister!” Jiang Ruoyao’s voice quavered as she addressed Zhong Nianyao, gratitude in her eyes, “If it hadn’t been for you, I’m afraid I would really have been done for today.”

“Are you alright?” Zhong Nianyao looked her up and down, “You don’t seem to be hurt, do you?”

Truth be told, she quite liked this girl–lively and cheerful. Although pampered growing up, she wasn’t malevolent, just joyful and sunny. The only downside was probably her lack of discernment, considering she picked such a boyfriend from the garbage heap, totally blind.

“I’m fine,” replied Jiang Ruoyao, shaking her head before her eyes took on a somber cast, “It’s just that, I never imagined–”

Her final words hung unfinished as her gaze passed through Zhong Nianyao and settled on the injured Jiang Heng not far away. Her eyes bore no hatred, only disappointment.

After today’s events, she realized that all the wonderful moments from before were pure illusion.

“It’s good you see it now,” Zhong Nianyao spoke indifferently, “In life, we’re all bound to meet a few losers!”

Jiang Ruoyao nodded, stood up, and addressed Jiang Heng with conviction, “Jiang Heng, you are but scum to me, and I am breaking up with you.”

“What a splendid drama indeed!”

The Red-dressed Ghost’s face was marked by a joyful grin. She looked over towards Jiang Ruoyao and spoke with a sly tone, “There are many of you here now, why not join forces and kill this faithless man?”

“As for the rest of you, after the faithless one is dead, we can decide what to do next, alright? I promised, and I will absolutely let one of you leave today.”

Jiang Heng watched Jiang Ruoyao and the other two warily, gripping the dagger even tighter, ready to strike at any moment.

Every man for himself, divine wrath be upon those who do not act in self-interest! Especially now, at a moment of life and death, he did not believe that Jiang Ruoyao and the two strangers would spare him.

Especially Jiang Ruoyao. Only moments ago, he had attempted to kill her. She must undoubtedly hate him to the bone now. Given such an opportunity, he would not have spared her either.

Jiang Ruoyao glanced at the disheveled Jiang Heng but shook her head firmly, “I don’t want this, I won’t commit murder.”
