After nine lifetimes of reincarnation, the yandere villainous heroine descends.

But the purple-haired figure in front of him remained expressionless, and in his purple eyes, there was only an extreme malice.

As she took another step, a terrifying force swept over her like a tsunami, instantly crushing the mist demon's body into dust.

Outside, the body that had just been pieced together also turned into a blood mist and vanished without a trace.

As Shen Shuchou watched the dissipating blood mist, he was about to interrupt Tantai Chigu's malice once again when a sharp pain suddenly swept over his entire body.

He curled up on the ground in agony, the blood flowing through his body like sharp blades, tearing his skin from the inside out, and beads of blood seeping out from the seams of his clothes.

His blood essence was formed from the forbidden power of Tantai Chigu, and the actions of the mist demon just now undoubtedly thoroughly enraged the evil in her heart.

In addition, she had previously regained some of her own power, and even though that power was still insignificant, the pressure she exuded at this moment was like the mighty power of heaven.

Even more terrifying was that this oppressive force was no longer confined to the dark world within her pupils, but rather poured out from her petite body like a torrent bursting its banks.

Su Han witnessed this fleeting yet earth-shattering change. The greed he had previously harbored for Tantai Chigu now transformed into a deep-seated fear.

Before he could even utter a cry of alarm, he instinctively turned and tried to flee into the distance, as if he would be crushed to ashes by this force if he were even a moment too slow.

But at that moment, Tantai Chigu slowly raised a small hand and gently grabbed at the void.

In an instant, the colossal black shadow that stood beneath the sky, blotting out the sun, seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible hand that spanned heaven and earth, and the churning black energy on the shadow suddenly froze.

"Crunch!"

A piercing, shrill scraping sound exploded between heaven and earth, as if thousands of bones were being forcibly twisted at the same moment.

The head of that pitch-black giant was twisted by this invisible force, the angle of the dislocated bones was terrifying.

The color drained from Su Han's face instantly, turning him ashen.

He stretched out his hands with difficulty, covering his head tightly, trying to straighten his neck, which was being twisted by an invisible force.

But his power was as insignificant as an ant trying to shake a tree in the face of that forbidden power that spanned heaven and earth; he couldn't even put up the slightest resistance.

The next second, "Snap!"

A crisp yet terrifying cracking sound echoed through the heavens and earth like a thunderclap.

The head of the pitch-black giant fell to the ground, turning into specks of black smoke in the air and disappearing without a trace.

At the same time, Su Han's head suddenly broke off from his neck, and with eyes full of horror and despair, he fell straight down from the sky and crashed to the ground below.

Under the dark sky, Su Jue Luo stared at the scene before him, his pupils suddenly contracting.

She never imagined Su Han would die, let alone that he would die so quickly and decisively.

Looking again at Tantai Chigu, who exuded forbidden demonic power, her heart trembled once more.

Su Chacha, who was in her arms, watched as Su Han's head rolled to the ground, but her face remained completely calm.

Even the hatred that had been burning in his heart for so long seemed to be frozen at this moment, without the slightest ripple.

All her gaze was fixed on Shen Shuchou, where she saw his blood transforming into streaks of scarlet threads that rapidly flowed into Tantai Chigu's body.

As the blood was continuously drained, Shen Shuchou's face grew paler and paler, his body curled up slightly from the intense pain, and his breath grew weaker without him even realizing it.

"Sister, save Brother Shen! Please save Brother Shen..."

Su Chacha suddenly raised her head, her eyes reddening, and pleaded with Su Jue Luo in a tearful voice.

Upon hearing this, Su Jueluo withdrew his gaze from Su Han's headless corpse.

She didn't look at Su Chacha, but simply raised her hand and struck Su Chacha's neck swiftly and accurately.

The force was just right, enough to make Su Chacha's vision go black and she instantly fainted.

Then, she glanced at the dying Shen Shuchou, and then looked at Tantai Chigu, whose figure was shrouded in an eerie aura, a complex and unreadable light flashing in her eyes.

Immediately afterwards, she hugged Su Chacha, turned around, and transformed into a blur, quickly disappearing into the night.

Su Jueluo knew that he could not stay any longer. Tantai Chigu was clearly in an extremely terrifying state, and staying would only be courting death.

As for Shen Shuchou's life or death... it was none of her business, so she naturally wouldn't listen to Su Chacha.

Ya Ye watched the two figures disappear into the distance, then looked away, only to unexpectedly meet the eyes of Gu Qingran beside him.

Although Gu Qingran did not speak at this moment, Ya Ye clearly caught the faint fluctuation in her eyes, as if a glimmer of light flashed by.

"I can't save him." Ya Ye spoke decisively, breaking the silence first.

After hearing this, Gu Qingran did not utter a word, nor did she look back at the small courtyard, as if everything that had just happened was no longer related to her.

Ya Ye had originally planned to leave with Gu Qingran, but tonight's sudden turn of events provided him with the perfect opportunity to escape.

But just as he turned around, several terrifying auras suddenly descended from the distant horizon, looming over him like dark clouds.

Ya Ye's expression changed slightly, and the next second, the owners of those several auras revealed themselves from the sky.

Those were several forbidden beings with enormous bodies and ferocious faces. The pressure emanating from each of them far exceeded that of Ya Ye, and many of them were even stronger than Su Han, who had just died.

Ya Ye's heart tightened, and he quickly shielded Gu Qingran behind him, while trying his best to conceal his aura and hide his presence.

However, those terrifying forbidden creatures merely glanced at him casually before turning their gazes to the small courtyard.

That was the real reason why they were willing to leave the forbidden land and come here.

Ya Ye breathed a sigh of relief, but then her gaze shifted and she caught sight of a figure leaning against the corner of the wall not far away.

The man was dressed in tattered clothes, hanging like rags on his body. He was leaning on an inconspicuous wooden stick, half of his body hidden in the shadows, his face turned towards the courtyard.

Even though he looked like a beggar on the street, and even though Ya Ye couldn't see his face clearly, he recognized him instantly.

Ya Ye was filled with doubt. How could Gu Jian, the peerless genius who emerged from the Jade Balance Sword Sect, the number one swordsman in the world, dressed in white like a banished immortal, have become like this?

At this moment, Gu Jian gazed at the figure in the courtyard, his voice as soft as the wind rustling through withered leaves: "So that's how it is... You are the source of the taboo, the chain that binds all of this... If I kill you, will everything return to what it was before?"

As he finished speaking, he slowly shook his head, a hint of self-mockery in his voice: "But for me now, truly killing you is too difficult..."

Having said that, he raised his head, his gaze piercing through the night sky, sweeping past the forbidden beings radiating overwhelming pressure, and landing directly on a corner deep within the heavens.

His gaze was so sharp it seemed to cleave through the darkness, and a thin crack actually appeared in the sky.

The next second, a deep gaze emerged from the crack and suddenly collided with Gu Jian's eyes.

Looking into those eyes, Gu Jian's gaze instantly sharpened like a sword's edge. His voice was low yet carried a chilling edge, as if he were talking to himself, or declaring to that gaze: "You lied to me... Anyone who lies to me must die... even you... Father..."

P.S.: Sigh, I don't know what to say, just sigh!
