Chapter 537 A Draw (Thanks to Alliance Leader Binghe Hanxue)
What Wei Yuan didn't understand was why the Holy Heart could transform his vows into heavenly tribulations. At this moment, he had a feeling that no matter what kind of vow he made in front of the Holy Heart, the Holy Heart could transform it into a corresponding heavenly tribulation.

If that's the case, then the Holy Heart will first use letting Wei Yuan go as bait to lure Wei Yuan into agreeing to the conditions and making a vow to not break them.

Many humans swear oaths as casually as eating and drinking, and Wei Yuan took it as easily as breathing, never intending to keep them from the moment he swore. But as long as one breaks the oath, one falls into the trap of the Holy Heart, and will most likely be annihilated by a sudden heavenly tribulation.

Judging from Shengxin's skillful actions and adept acting, he must have done similar things many times before, and countless powerful human enemies have died inexplicably under the heavenly tribulation.

Saint Heart never expected that someone with Wei Yuan's face, aura, and even the same cunning eyes was not Wei Yuan. Moreover, this person's oath had also stirred up the Heavenly Dao.

Saint Heart had been confidently waiting for Wei Yuan to break his oath and be struck by heavenly lightning. He never expected Wei Yuan to launch a sneak attack, and even more unexpectedly, the heavenly tribulation struck his substitute!
Shengxin and Weiyuan exchanged a deep look, fully appreciating each other's treachery, and their vigilance reached its peak.

Wei Yuan remained silent and took out the Yang bullet to load it.

Shengxin was taken aback and hurriedly said, "No, no, this treasure should be left to Lord Hongye. Using it on me is making a mountain out of a molehill!"

Wei Yuan said expressionlessly, "I think you are far more dangerous than Hongye. I never want to see you again. Farewell, Sacred Heart!"

Saint Heart hurriedly said, "I can guarantee that I will never be your enemy in the Netherworld again! Your enemy is Red Leaf, not me. If you don't believe me, I can swear!"

Wei Yuan looked at Sheng Xin suspiciously: "You broke your oath, you won't get away with it, will you?"

With a sincere expression, Shengxin said, "The Heavenly Dao in this region has undergone a slight change, so a Heavenly Tribulation will occur when the oath is fulfilled. You don't think I have the ability to change the fundamental Dao of a region, do you?"

Wei Yuan looked up at the sky and frowned, saying, "Why haven't the tribulation clouds dissipated yet?"

Saint Heart also looked up at the sky, somewhat puzzled, and said, "I'm not quite sure either. But isn't this just right? If I break my oath, the heavenly tribulation will come very quickly."

Wei Yuan was still skeptical and said, "You're only slightly at a disadvantage, why should you compromise?"

Suddenly, Long Ying said, "Why waste words with them? Let's just attack. I'm 60% confident I can keep this female here!"

Shengxin smiled bitterly, "That's what I'm worried about. I can escape, but she will most likely be hit again. At that time, her primordial spirit will probably suffer permanent damage, so I'm willing to compromise. Another reason is that I'd rather see Hongye die, even though you can't kill Hongye right now. But as long as you can cause him some trouble, that's enough."

Wei Yuan finally nodded: "Alright, swear it!"

With his eyes closed and a devout expression, Shengxin said, "I, Shengxin, Tianyi, hereby swear to Heaven and Earth that from this day forward, I will never lay a hand on Wei Yuan in the Netherworld, nor harm him in any way. If I break this oath, I am willing to endure the torment of being burned alive by heavenly fire..."

Before he could finish speaking, the tribulation clouds in the sky suddenly turned deep red, and drops of fiery rain fell, transforming into a heavenly fire tribulation that fell directly upon Wei Yuan!

Wei Yuan only managed to utter half a curse before the heavenly fire was already upon him!

At this moment, Shengxin's left hand had transformed into a sharp blade over ten feet long, piercing straight into Wei Yuan's chest and abdomen!
Wei Yuan was both shocked and furious. Not only did he break his oath on the spot, but how come the heavenly tribulation still fell on his head? Doesn't this mean that as long as someone makes an oath in front of the Holy Heart, no matter who breaks the oath, they will suffer a heavenly tribulation?
What's even more absurd is that if no one swears an oath, it seems that this Sacred Heart can swear an oath on its own and then subject its opponent to a heavenly tribulation.

Shengxin plunged his blade into Wei Yuan's chest, and then heavenly fire descended, melting Wei Yuan like a candle, reducing him to a pool of remnants. But at the same time, countless flying swords shot in, slamming into Shengxin's lower body, blasting his legs and long tail into a bloody mess.

Saint Heart was both shocked and furious. When she turned around, she saw another Wei Yuan appear behind her, holding a strange, rapidly spinning magic weapon that was frantically spewing out flying swords!

No need to ask, the Wei Yuan who was just burned was just a stand-in.

Suddenly, a crack appeared between Shengxin's brows, revealing a seven-colored halo.

Wei Yuan instantly sensed extreme danger and immediately stopped attacking to create distance. At the same time, the dragon eagle also retreated at full speed, no longer able to finish off Hui Xin with a slash to its tail.

The two sides stood facing each other from a distance of a hundred feet, both with solemn expressions, having gained a deeper understanding of the enemy.

After a brief standoff, Shengxin spoke first: "When did you change into the stand-in?"

Wei Yuan retorted, "How did you manage to draw the heavenly tribulation onto my head?"

Looking into each other's eyes, they instantly understood that the other was not telling the truth.

Saint Heart sighed and said, "How about we call it quits? From now on, we'll keep to ourselves. If you don't believe me, I swear..."

Wei Yuan stood still, but another Wei Yuan appeared behind Sheng Xin. A blue halo burst forth from his hand, instantly freezing Sheng Xin and Hui Xin inside. Then, the Scarlet Night Immortal-Slaying Sword swept across, cutting the two witches in half at the waist.

Suddenly, the figures of Sacred Heart and Elegant Heart burst open like bubbles and vanished. It turned out that while Sacred Heart was speaking, they had already quietly escaped, leaving behind only a substitute phantom.

This substitute spell was extremely realistic; before he swung his sword down, Wei Yuan couldn't tell it was an illusion at all.

Wei Yuan stood with his sword in hand, looking around, but he couldn't find Sheng Xin and Hui Xin. They must have used some kind of teleportation technique and were probably already far away.

This must be Shengxin's life-saving measure, allowing her to escape thousands of miles in an instant. Combined with her extremely skillful illusionary substitution technique, it would be foolproof. Without prior arrangements, Wei Yuan felt it would be very difficult to capture Shengxin.

This round of combat between the two sides was full of twists and turns, completely unexpected. At this point, Wei Yuan dared not linger, summoning over a dozen Dao Foundations to bury dozens of sword lightning bolts on the ground before quickly departing. If the Holy Heart were to return searching for Wei Yuan's whereabouts, it would likely be met with a pleasant surprise.

In this battle with Sacred Heart, Wei Yuan struck Sacred Heart three times, each time inflicting severe damage. However, Wei Yuan also suffered a solid blow, and the destruction of two Dao Foundation Warriors who had reached the Enlightenment stage was also a significant loss.

Being annihilated by the heavenly tribulation means true destruction; there is no resurrection in the mortal world. In a sense, the two sides fought to a draw.

As Wei Yuan fled, he deeply reflected on his actions, realizing he had underestimated the heroes of the world. This was the first time he had encountered an enemy whose treachery was no less than his own.
