193: When will the cycle of revenge end?

The common people outside the gate shouted excitedly!

Not a single one of them was frightened by this terrifying scene, and not a single one felt that Liu Qing was cruel.

Compared to the evil deeds of the Li family, even killing them in this manner was considered a lenient punishment by the common people.

Woof woof woof…

Someone, somehow, brought in a pack of dogs.

Those dogs clearly grew up on meat; smelling the blood, their eyes turned red, and they charged into the Li family compound.

They snarled and bit at the people of the Li family.

“Ah!!!”

“No! No!!!”

“…”

The screams grew even more ear-piercing.

But the cheers of the common people outside the gate grew even more fervent!

They were in tears, crying and cheering at the same time.

The tears flowing were certainly not for the Li family.

They were weeping for their loved ones who had died due to the Li family’s oppression, and even more so for the hundreds of souls of the Liu family.

Watching these human sticks being gnawed by wild dogs, dying one by one, Liu Qing stood in place for a long time, not leaving.

He believed his state of mind had been tempered through a thousand trials.

But at this moment, with his great revenge finally achieved, he still couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.

It turned out that he hated the Lu family less.

It was the Li family!

At this moment.

The hatred in his heart was completely released.

He was finally free.

“Come out.”

At this moment, Liu Qing suddenly looked at a small house nearby and said, neither cold nor warm.

Thump!

The woman hiding in the small house trembled violently and walked out hesitantly.

Seeing the tragic scene around her, she was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, retching and throwing up.

Tragic!

Too tragic!

This scene was far more miserable than that of the former Liu family.

This strong smell of blood probably wouldn't dissipate for a month.

This person was Lu Yue!

After retching, she scrambled and crawled to Liu Qing's feet.

She prostrated herself at Liu Qing's feet, like a fawning pug, crying miserably and sorrowfully.

“Brother Qing, I was wrong… I truly know I was wrong…”

“None of that was my intention; my father and Li Jie, that Bastard, forced me to do it. I truly didn’t mean to hurt you.”

“Li Jie, that Bastard, threatened me, saying that if I didn’t agree to his demands, their Li family would take action against the Lu family and kill everyone in the Lu family.”

“You know, my Lu family is not as strong as your Liu family. If the Li family had attacked the Lu family, we would have had no way to survive!”

“I had no choice, no choice!”

“Just because your Lu family had no choice, you had to harm my Liu family?” Liu Qing’s face turned cold.

Towards this woman who had once exchanged vows with him and even shared a bed, Liu Qing ultimately couldn't maintain his composure.

“I… I couldn’t not think of the Lu family, even if I wasn’t afraid of death, what about my parents?”

“Brother Qing, I truly don’t like Li Jie, I love you, I’ve always loved you.”

“You don’t know how excessive Li Jie, that Bastard, was. Not only did he not marry me, but he often found Young Misses, and even brought Young Misses home to stay overnight, making me and the Young Misses serve him together.”

“He even had special fetishes; not only did he beat me at the slightest disagreement, but he even brought beggars home to humiliate me.”

“I’m sorry… I truly know I was wrong, and I’ve accepted my punishment. You’ve already killed all the culprits, please, please spare me, okay?”

“I know you must still love me, right?”

“As long as you can forgive me, I will never leave you. Whatever you ask me to do, I will agree!”

“I know so much more now. I can serve you tea and water, wash clothes, cook, and even satisfy your various needs in bed. I sincerely want to atone for everything I’ve done. Please, please give me a chance, okay?”

Liu Qing just watched the frantic Lu Yue beg for mercy incessantly.

Lu Yue was indeed very beautiful.

Her exquisite beauty, among all the women Liu Qing had seen, was only surpassed by Ya Ya, who was by Liu Jiangyi’s side.

Other than that, he had never seen a woman more beautiful than Lu Yue.

Especially since she also had a good figure, she was absolutely a femme fatale.

But Liu Qing was definitely not an animal that thought with his lower body!

He was not a ruthless person; perhaps he could forgive many people, but he absolutely could not forgive the culprit who caused the destruction of the Liu family!

Liu Qing didn't care why Lu Yue participated in the original events.

But if Lu Yue hadn't married him, the Li family would have had no legitimate reason to besiege the Liu family, and the Liu family wouldn't have been betrayed by all, leading to its demise.

As for love?

That’s right!

He certainly had loved her!

But now, that love had long vanished; what Lu Yue brought to Liu Qing was only deep pain!

He also noticed the scars on Lu Yue’s body.

It seemed she hadn't lied.

These days, she had indeed lived a very bitter life.

But what of it?

All of this ultimately could not atone for the wrongdoings she had committed!

Liu Qing just wanted her to see with her own eyes.

To see how foolish the path she chose was!

Lu Yue was still babbling and begging for mercy.

But Liu Qing no longer spoke.

The more silent he was, the more frightened Lu Yue became.

What he wanted was to use silent stillness to make Lu Yue experience extreme fear!

Finally!

When Lu Yue was so frightened that her words became incoherent and she was almost insane.

A sharp blade pierced her heart!

She clutched her chest tightly, her wide eyes filled with the fear of death and unwillingness at her fate.

She desperately crawled towards the door.

It seemed as if she could only have hope of living if she crawled out.

She used all her strength, but ultimately, just an inch before her hand could touch the threshold, she unwillingly lost all her breath.

She finally died in the Li family compound.

Died in the grave she had chosen for herself.

Her pupils, looking out at the sunlight beyond the door, gradually unfocused, but could not close.

She died with her eyes wide open, unable to rest in peace!

Perhaps what she said was true, that everything she did was forced.

But no one can avoid paying the price for their actions.

If being forced made one innocent.

Then there would be too many innocent people in this world.

Every robber claims they were forced by poverty.

Every murderer claims they were forced by emotion.

Every wrongdoer will say they had a reason.

Where in the world are there such absolute innocents?

Even the Liu family, if they hadn't gone against the Li family back then, wouldn't have brought about the disaster of extermination.

Weren't they innocent enough?

Didn't they still die under the butcher's knife?

Karma cycles, links intertwined.

Where there are people, there is Jianghu; where there is Jianghu, there are grievances.

Although vengeance never ends, the struggle between new and old hatreds is the main theme of Jianghu.

…

Outside City 10.

In the bustling and splendid City 10, dirges filled the streets and alleys. Almost every household, the common people, spontaneously put on white mourning clothes and gathered in the streets.

The remains of the Liu family, which had been casually discarded in the mass grave, were moved with the highest honors into coffins made of rosewood, and slowly carried out of City 10 under the gaze of a million common people.
