I tried to kill the heroines of destiny, but they ended up chasing after me.

It swayed and fell amidst the thunder.

Constantly dodging countless deadly attacks.

One step, two steps.

Every step was mysterious and unpredictable, as if carried away by a strong wind.

What is that tiny figure persisting in?

Neither wind, rain, thunder, nor lightning could stop her.

Gradually, her legs began to feel weak, but her steps became larger, and she floated forward.

She stared blankly at the figure in the distance, her body trembling slightly.

Her lips had dried up without her noticing.

His face was filled with disbelief.

He lay there sprawled out on his back.

The man was completely black, with his hair standing on end and emitting smoke.

On his right was a huge, gaping hole, almost piercing through his body. His liver, kidneys, and gallbladder had been blasted to pieces, and there were faint flashes of lightning among the flesh, preventing the wound from healing.

She reached out her hand tremblingly.

Looking at Gu Qici's determined face, the man shook his head.

"You can leave now. I've lost. You're no match for Tang Dong. The Heavenly Demon Sect should become history."

She was unwilling to give up: "The peach trees we planted will bloom next year."

"Then tell them they don't need to bloom next year..."

The man slapped her hand away.

The slight electric current made her instinctively shrink back.

She retorted firmly, "I'm here to inform you, not to ask for your opinion."

For the first time, she disobeyed the man's advice and pulled a bundle of rope from her storage ring.

"I'm taking you away today, let's see who dares to stop me."

……

It was as if fate was beckoning to him.

Like destiny, it only gently binds him, and he cannot break free, forced to helplessly submit to fate's arrangements.

I opened my eyes again.

Once again, I met those stubborn eyes.

The person leaned against the bedside, still flawless, holding a bowl of warm porridge in their hands, carefully blowing on it to bring it to the right temperature, spooning it out one spoonful at a time.

He slowly reached out and touched her arm.

She was startled and jumped back as if electrocuted, her brow furrowed in pain.

The night is deep.

The man fell asleep.

She gazed at the starry sky and sighed deeply.

She unveiled the magical artifact beneath its disguise.

His entire body resembled a dried-up corpse, covered with traces of being ravaged by lightning.

So black and flawless.

……

"The southeast direction is windless."

Gu Qici moved in sync with Lei Ting's rhythm, going about the same thing every step of the way.

"The Qian trigram connects the northwest and opens the heavens."

She danced on the edge of a knife, repeatedly brushing past the lightning of the eighth realm with her fifth-realm cultivation.

No matter how Tang Dong manipulated it, he couldn't touch it at all.

She doesn't need to feel it, she doesn't need to see Tang Dong's control gestures.

The lightning seemed to fear her.

Tang Dong's eyes revealed a fierce glint as if he had been driven to the brink of death, and he suddenly raised his right hand: "The True Fire of the Southern Void in the Central Void!"

This time, Gu Qici did not dodge: "The Kan trigram is filled with the six waters of the north!"

"All four directions are in harmony!" x2

Two bolts of golden lightning collided.

A few pink peach petals drifted down onto her shoulder as she looked at Tang Dong with a half-smile, her eyes unfathomable.

"Master Leopard, what's going on?! How does she recognize this formation?"

"Even Leopard is very puzzled... She knows almost all the killing points of the Four Symbols Thunder Formation. She even knows when the thunder will fall and from where."

With doubts weighing on his mind, Leopard jumped onto Tang Dong's head and shouted, "Little girl, do you recognize this formation?"

"I don't know him. I've been in and out of this formation with my senior brother no less than ten times, and the last time we risked our lives to get here."

Tang Dong understood that there was no point in talking about morality when dealing with this kind of enemy. While Gu Qici was talking to Leopard, he secretly unleashed a bolt of lightning from behind, aiming straight for her heart.

"For the sake of their convictions, there are always creatures on earth that dare to look directly at the might of thunder."

She turned around, pressed down on the lightning bolt with one index finger, and played with it by turning it on her fingertip.

"But...why can I even tame lightning now?"

She brushed the peach blossoms off her shoulder.

Feeling lost and helpless, it was as if a scale in her heart was swaying back and forth.

In that instant, experience proved its worth. Leopard sensed an opening and feigned surprise: "Little Tang, run! You've caused too much of a commotion. The Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect hasn't gone far and is coming over first. You're no match for two against one!"

As expected, Gu Qici subconsciously turned around.

Leopard suddenly launched an attack!

A silver lightning bolt appeared at the tip of its claw.

The bolt of lightning flickered and danced, exceptionally dazzling.

Unlike its previous grand and imposing appearance, it now looks rather sinister.

Gu Qici was a step too slow and sensed the killing intent behind her.

She instinctively swung her sword and turned around.

Fresh blood, like red lips.

A small hole was pierced through her left shoulder.

"Little Tang, strike while the iron is hot and kill her!"

Gu Qici's face was grim, her expression unusually stern.

Because his gaze was so cold, it exuded a chilling, menacing aura.

A ferocity I'd never seen before, a cruelty that seemed to want to tear everything apart: "I didn't want to kill you. We were on different sides back then, so there's nothing more to say."

She touched the sword that had been pierced along with her own with heartache.

It's not some kind of divine weapon; its brand-new appearance is probably just a recent development.

"I'm angry!"

His words betrayed a chilling murderous intent, and his dark eyes burned with a furious rage.

Tang Dong and Leopard felt inexplicably guilty after seeing this.

"Little Tang, don't be afraid, Leopard Master will find a way to break through! Knowing the formation is one thing, but with her fifth-realm cultivation, there's no way she can break it unless she possesses the inheritance of an emperor! Are you kidding? How could that be possible in this day and age…"

"Imperial Technique - River of Oblivion".

Chapter Twenty-Two: I Set an Example for Future Generations

Gu Qici's face was almost devoid of any warmth.

"I will make you wish you were dead, I will make you fall into endless darkness, I will make your soul restless, I will make you suffer day and night!"

"What are you babbling about? See how your shoulder is bleeding?"

Who is so blind as to provoke her at this time?

Gu Qici glared at the newcomer.

Sichuan opera face-changing is just for fun; if you really want to see face-changing, you have to watch Gu Qici.

With a clean and swift 'snap,' she snapped Tang Dong's neck.

With a weak expression: "Ouch, ouch, ouch... Senior brother, I captured a woman who came to our door with her skills. I was just questioning her, and she said she would rather die than submit, so I strangled her to death."

There were too many things involved just now, and Tang Dong will never be able to open his mouth again.

How can a corpse speak?

As for torture?

She didn't know what kind of torment she was being subjected to.

Who is so cruel?

A lightning ferret, the guy who calls himself Leopard Lord, slipped away quietly.

Gu Qici didn't notice, or rather, even if she did, she couldn't do anything about it.

[I've decided, this person is your wife!]

"No, Anran, what's wrong with you again? What kind of immortal king are you? Have you even figured out your sister's scent? Why did you go to Aquamarine Star to take the exam? Why don't you just kill the grading clerk who made a mistake on your mark?"
