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

His seemingly inevitable punch failed to harm the Crow God in the slightest.

Instead, he was shaken by an even more domineering force, causing his blood and qi to surge, and a trace of scarlet blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he had suffered a backlash.

"Since you're so determined to die, then I'll send you on your way first, and then I can take the sword seed from her body!"

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the Raven God, and he let out a cold shout.

Immediately, he released his grip on Gu Qingran and darted towards Ya Ye like a ghost.

In an instant, the chilling aura of decay emanating from him spread like a tide.

With a terrifying pressure that devours all life, it firmly locked onto this world.

Ya Ye knew he was no match for Ya Shen, especially since Ya Shen was currently controlling Gu Jian's body.

Even so, he had no other choice.

Just like four years ago, he had to do everything in his power to create a way for Gu Qingran to leave.

He let out a muffled groan, and the last remaining forbidden power within his body suddenly broke through its shackles, causing the air around him to instantly distort.

Before the Raven God could make a move, Raven Night pounced out like an arrow, gathering all his power in his right fist.

The fist's force tore through the air with a sharp whistling sound, carrying a fierce, all-consuming power, aimed directly at the Crow God's face.

The sneer on the crow god's lips hadn't faded when his figure suddenly became ethereal, rushing forward like a ghost, brushing against the afterimage of the fist's wind.

With a mere touch of the ground with his toes, he had already circled around to Yaya's side.

Before Ya Ye could turn around and adjust himself, Ya Shen's fist, carrying a chilling aura, struck him precisely in the unsuspecting back.

"Bang!"

The moment the muffled explosion occurred, Ya Ye's muscles convulsed violently, and most of his forbidden power dissipated on the spot.

He staggered forward like a kite with a broken string. Before he could regain his balance, the chilling power had already seeped into his meridians through the wound in his back, frantically annihilating the remaining forbidden power.

As his blood and qi surged, a mouthful of fishy-sweet taste spurted out, but his body still stubbornly held on and did not collapse.

With such paltry tricks, you dare to presume to kill me?

The Raven God approached slowly, his tone full of sarcasm.

"The forbidden power within you originated from me. To try and manipulate it in front of me is nothing but showing off your limited skills before an expert."

Ya Ye gritted his teeth and stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of his lips, but the determination in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

He took a deep breath, and the forbidden power around him surged up again.

The next second!

"Bang!"

Yaya's body crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

He struggled to get up, but felt as if his internal organs had shifted, and the slightest movement caused excruciating pain.

"Still not willing to admit defeat?"

The Raven God looked down at him, slowly raising his foot and stepping down on his chest with an overwhelming pressure that could crush everything.

"cough……"

Ya Ye coughed up a mouthful of blood, but still stared intently at Ya Shen, his eyes still filled with murderous intent.

He suddenly bent his elbow, using his last bit of strength to gather forbidden power into his fist, and slammed it towards the Raven God's foot.

This time, however, the Raven God didn't even bother to dodge.

That punch, which contained the last hope of the night, landed on the instep of the god of crows, but it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, without even a ripple.

On the contrary, Ya Ye himself was so shocked by the recoil that his arm went numb and his knuckles ached.

"it's useless."

The Raven God's foot slowly descended, landing heavily on Raven Night's chest.

With a soft "crack," accompanied by Ya Ye's suppressed cry of pain, it was clear that several of his ribs were broken.

"Every time you resist, you are only hastening your own demise."

The Raven God looked down at the Raven Night struggling in the dust, his tone calm to the point of cruelty, "I have said it before, there is a world of difference between you and me."

Before he could finish speaking, a condensed, invisible sword aura slashed swiftly from the side.

Before its sharp edge could even reach three feet from the Raven God, it was pulverized by the surging, sinister power emanating from him, leaving not a trace of its former strength.

Immediately afterwards, several sword energies burst forth, carrying a fierce sword wind as they rushed towards them, and Gu Qingran's figure leaped out as well.

Her master, Shen Shuchou, is no longer alive. She cannot bear to watch her brother, whom she has reunited with after four years, perish here.

Even if there is an abyss before her, or she is like a moth drawn to a flame, she will forge ahead without hesitation.

But that sinister power was like an impenetrable wall, and the sword energies dissipated into nothingness the moment they collided with it.

Before Gu Qingran could stop, a withered, cold black hand reached out like a venomous snake, gripping her throat tightly and holding her suspended in mid-air.

"Hehe... Since you siblings are in such a hurry, then let's set off together."

The crow god's laughter was tinged with coldness.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly increased the pressure on his hands, his knuckles digging deep into the flesh of Gu Qingran's neck, while simultaneously exerting force with his feet.

A chilling, malevolent aura surged into Gu Qingran's body like a tidal wave, greedily tearing and stealing the sword seed within her.

Meanwhile, Yaya on the ground was crushed by this immense force, her internal organs felt like they were about to burst, and her breath gradually sank to the brink of death.

"elder brother……"

Gu Qingran's consciousness gradually dissipated as her life force and strength were lost.

With her last ounce of strength, she turned her head with difficulty, her hoarse voice filled with blood, tears, and resentment, as she looked at Ya Ye on the ground.

Yaya looked up at her sister's painful struggle, her eyes filled with crimson despair.

This was the first time he had felt so clearly how ridiculously insignificant his power was, unable to even protect the people he wanted to protect.

Just as the two were about to fall into the abyss of death together, the overwhelming force suddenly stopped.

The black hand that had been gripping Gu Qingran's neck slowly loosened, and the foot that had been pressing on Ya Ye's chest also withdrew.

Gu Qingran fell to the ground, clutching her throat and coughing violently. As fresh air rushed into her lungs, she looked at the Crow God in astonishment.

At this moment, Gu Jian's body was twisting strangely, his limbs as if being torn apart by an invisible force.

The bones made a creaking sound, as if two forces were fiercely battling within the body.

The next instant, a hoarse, broken syllable escaped Gu Jian's lips, filled with endless struggle: "Go..."

That was the voice of Gu Jian himself!

At this moment, his consciousness broke free from the Raven God's restraints and tried his best to regain control of his body.

The sound of his footsteps was like a thunderclap, shattering Gu Qingran's despair.

She was breathless and stumbled towards Ya Ye, reaching out to help him up: "Brother, let's go!"

But Ya Ye weakly raised his hand to block her movement.

His face was deathly pale, blood trickling from his lips. His voice was so soft it was almost inaudible, yet it carried an undeniable resolve: "You go... but I can't leave."

He was all too aware of his situation.

Having been suppressed for four years, his forbidden power was already nearly depleted, and the severe injury he just suffered left him completely exhausted.

Even if Qingran pulls him away to escape, in his current state, he won't be able to hold out for long and will only drag her down with him into a desperate situation.

Hearing this, Gu Qingran shook her head violently, tears streaming down her face like broken beads, her voice trembling with sobs: "No! We'll go together! You're my brother, I can't abandon you!"

Ya Ye raised his hand and pressed it against her shoulder again, his eyes churning with complex emotions, yet his words were clear and distinct: "I am actually... not your biological brother."

"He is the one who is connected to you by blood."

He looked up at Gu Jian, who was struggling, and his voice was as soft as a sigh.

Gu Qingran was stunned upon hearing this, tears streaming down her face, but she shook her head vigorously: "I don't care! In my heart, you are my brother! I just want you to come with me!"

Ya Ye forced himself to sit up. The sharp pain in his chest made cold sweat bead on his forehead, but he still raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

A weak yet gentle smile tugged at the corners of her lips: "If you leave, perhaps there will be another chance... to avenge me. But if I go with you, we will both die here."

"Then I'll die with my brother!"

Gu Qingran rushed over to hug him, her voice filled with desperate persistence.

Ya Ye fell silent, her eyes filled with an overwhelming sense of sorrow.

Just then, Gu Jian's body began to contort less, and his true voice rang out again, urgent and on the verge of death: "Quick...go..."

This urging sounded like an alarm bell tolling in the night.

He knew that if they delayed any longer, no one would be able to leave.

Before he could say another word, a resolute glint flashed in Ya Ye's eyes.

Using his last remaining life force as a catalyst, he ignited all the forbidden power remaining within his body.

The power surged around him, just like it had four years ago, transforming into a jet-black raven, its wings shimmering with a faint yet scorching light.

Gu Qingran's heart clenched as she looked at this familiar scene.

She knew what was about to happen and frantically tried to rush over and grab him: "No! Brother!"

But the black crow was faster than her, spreading its wings and sweeping over her, its feathers swirling around her body.

Gu Qingran struggled to reach out, but her fingertips only touched empty air. She could only watch helplessly as Ya Ye's figure grew farther and farther away, becoming increasingly blurry in her vision.

The black crow carried her away through the air at such a speed that she could not see the scenery around her.

Only the wind howled in her ears, mixed with her heart-wrenching cries: "Brother!!"

Meanwhile, Yaya watched the rapidly receding figure, a relieved smile appearing on her face. Then, her body, like a puppet with its strings cut, slowly collapsed.

He knew that, once again, he had protected her.

A moment later, Gu Jian's body stopped twisting completely.

The last vestige of clarity in those eyes, belonging to the true self, was completely obscured by the sinister aura, and was once again firmly controlled by the Raven God's consciousness.

He looked down at Ya Ye, who lay on the ground barely clinging to life, a chill running through his eyes, and sneered, "He's courting death!"

Before he could finish speaking, an extremely refined and chilling aura, like an invisible blade, pierced through Ya Ye's body in an instant.

The already faint breath suddenly stopped, and the last spark of life was completely extinguished by this breath.

A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the Raven God. He had painstakingly lured Gu Qingran here for the sake of the sword seed within her.

He had realized this more than a decade ago, and now that he had taken over Gu Jian's body, which was endowed with extraordinary swordsmanship.

If he could devour Gu Qingran's sword seed, he would have enough resources to compete for the most fundamental forbidden power in this world.

Unfortunately, this seemingly easy plan was ruined by Ya Ye's relentless pursuit and Gu Jian's remnant consciousness's counterattack.

He looked up in the direction Gu Qingran had fled, and his sinister power surged again as he prepared to give chase.

Suddenly, several powerful auras descended from the sky like thunder.

Immediately afterwards, an aged and furious voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth: "Gu Jian! You are indeed here! You injured my sect's disciples; today you must give me an explanation!"

The sudden question interrupted the crow god's actions.

He didn't even turn around, but a cold, piercing rebuke escaped his throat, exactly the same words he had used to Ya Ye:

"court death!"

The murderous intent in his voice was even stronger than before.

Just then, in another secret realm, Gu Fanqing suddenly felt a subtle yet clear sense of rupture within his body.

It was a connection deep within his bloodline, like a thread holding something together suddenly snapping, instantly tightening his heart.

In an instant, a storm brewed in Gu Fanqing's eyes, and a chilling killing intent, like ice settling in a deep pool, quietly settled deep within his pupils.

But he quickly concealed all his outward expression, and the turmoil in his eyes returned to normal, as if the sudden change had never happened.

Finally, he turned his gaze back to what was in front of him, where clouds and mist swirled, and a pillar of light that seemed to pierce through the heavens and earth could be vaguely seen.

That is the place connected to the aura of the Heavenly Dao, and it is also the source of the qualitative change and surging forth of forbidden power in this world.

His figure stood still at the edge of the halo, his aura deep and unfathomable, as if he were waiting for something.
