"Ningyue merely spoke the truth, and yet you had her slapped. I hope you can apologize to her."
Wang Ruoxie's gaze turned to Di Jin, speaking coldly.
Though he was fully aware that with his current cultivation power, he might not even be able to handle those Divine Emperor Realm followers behind Di Jin, not to mention Di Yun and Di Jin themselves who were of Divine Emperor Realm, he still couldn't allow Xiao Ningyue to be humiliated.
If he couldn't even protect his own woman, then what was the point of his cultivation?
Of course, he dared to make this demand because he had some confidence, after all, the Demon Sword he carried was a weapon of mass destruction.
However, being inside the Di family, he was reluctant to use the Demon Sword unless absolutely necessary.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you demand an apology to a lowly servant? If you don't step aside, I will kill you all."
Upon hearing Wang Ruoxie's words, Di Jin's face sank as she spoke coldly.
"Ridiculous. Without the title of the Di family's direct descendant, what are you? With your temperament, if you were just an ordinary woman, you wouldn't have survived to this day."
Wang Ruoxie sneered with disdain.
"Who do you think you are, to have the right to speak to me like this? Kill them for me."
Di Jin, hearing this, was livid and commanded her followers coldly.
"I'll say it one last time, apologize."
Wang Ruoxie's eyes flashed with cold light as he spoke.
At the same time, his hand was already on the Demon Sword, ready to unleash a massacre if the other party dared to make a move.
Although he didn't yet know the specific tier of the Demon Sword, he knew that if he wielded it, he could slaughter everyone before him.
"This is truly a big problem now."
Tang Yuanye chuckled bitterly and muttered.
Had he known it would come to this, he certainly wouldn't have brought Wang Ruoxie and Xiao Ningyue to the Di family.
These two—one an unparalleled beauty, the other an arrogant and fiercely protective prodigy—were bound to attract trouble.
"At least he dares to stand up and protect Senior Sister Ningyue at a time like this. Regardless of the outcome, Senior Sister Ningyue is the happiest person."
Tang Ying, on the other hand, spoke with a trace of envy in her eyes.
"Why are you all standing there? Get moving!"
Di Jin barked harshly as her followers swiftly surrounded Wang Ruoxie.
"This person is truly foolish to confront Miss Di Jin."
"He's courting death. With just his First Layer of Divine King Realm cultivation, any of Miss Di Jin's followers could easily eliminate him."
"I don't think so. This man has a passionate heart, ready to risk his life to defend his humiliated woman. I admire him."
The surrounding foreign members of the Azure God Branch spoke in hushed tones, each wearing a different expression.
Of course, most people thought that Wang Ruoxie daring to offend Di Jin was suicidal.
Even though Wang Ruoxie's aura was now bursting with a surging sword essence, they still believed he was doomed.
It was known that the followers brought by Di Yun and Di Jin were almost all of late-stage Divine Emperor Realm cultivation, and even with similar cultivation, their power far surpassed that of ordinary people.
Moreover, Wang Ruoxie only had the First Layer of Divine King Realm cultivation, the disparity in power was too great.
"Kill!"
The followers didn't hesitate, launching a full-scale assault on Wang Ruoxie.
At this moment, unlike before, they didn't restrain their cultivation but unleashed their full strength, seemingly aiming to eliminate Wang Ruoxie, who had dared to defy Di Jin, in one decisive blow.
However, in this moment, a terrifying sword aura erupted from Wang Ruoxie's body, as a completely black longsword, wreathed in demonic qi, appeared in his hand.
In that instant, a horrifyingly mighty sword beam burst forth.
"Sizzle, sizzle..."
With a series of soft noises, the black sword beams instantly pierced through several dozen followers.
In the next moment, under the shocked gazes of the crowd, their bodies turned into wisps of black smoke, vanishing completely from the world.
"How... how is this possible?"
Everyone, including Di Yun, Di Jin, and Di Hua, was utterly stunned by the scene before them, their faces filled with disbelief.
Although the followers' strength couldn't compare to that of true prodigies like them, they were still late-stage Divine Emperor Realm, yet they were all effortlessly slaughtered, leaving them feeling incredulous.
"It seems the power of this Demon Sword is far greater than I imagined."
In fact, Wang Ruoxie himself was also shocked by the power displayed by the Demon Sword.
Although he had used this Demon Sword to kill many on the Ancient Divine Demon Battlefield before, those people's cultivation was at most mid-stage Divine Emperor Realm.
But the ones he just killed were all late-stage Divine Emperor Realm, and their strength was far greater than that of ordinary Divine Emperor Realm cultivators.
Yet under the sword beam of the Demon Sword, they had no resistance and were instantly annihilated.
"Such a terrifying Demon Sword, even an ordinary Ninth Grade Divine Artifact can't compare."
After a long while, everyone finally came back to their senses, looking at the Demon Sword in Wang Ruoxie's hand with a look of shock.
"It must be a terrifying weapon preserved from the Ancient Times."
Someone spoke.
"It's said that in the past, there was a Supreme Killing Treasure, the Godslaying Sword, which could easily annihilate any Divine Human Realm being. Could this Demon Sword in his hand be the legendary Godslaying Sword?"
Another person spoke.
"Godslaying Sword?"
Hearing the discussions, Wang Ruoxie couldn't help but look at the Demon Sword in his hand.
Though he hadn't heard of the Godslaying Sword, the reactions of the crowd suggested it was no ordinary object.
"To dare kill so many of my followers, unforgivable."
At this point, Di Jin glared at Wang Ruoxie, speaking coldly, "However, if you hand over the Godslaying Sword, I'll let bygones be bygones, and even grant you the Di surname, allowing you to become my follower. How about it?"
"Di surname? Not interested, nor do I wish to be your follower because you're unworthy."
Wang Ruoxie smiled indifferently, mocking.
"Friend, what Sister Jing said earlier might have been inappropriate, but you've already killed dozens of our followers. Isn't that enough?"
At this moment, Di Yun, who had remained silent until now, spoke up.
"When they were about to slap Ningyue, even wanted to kill us, why didn't you speak up, why didn't you ask if that was enough?"
Wang Ruoxie sneered, replying.
"What do you want then?"
Di Yun frowned and said, "Even though you possess the Supreme Killing Treasure, the Godslaying Sword, you must know that this is the Imperial City. Even if you kill us all, escaping alive will be impossible."
