"Die for me? Out of guilt? To protect the fox clan?" Gu Yu frowned upon hearing Ri Jiu's words.

"Hmm! In order to find you, the fox clan priest used a secret technique to turn me into a human. When I first met you, I thought, you're so weak, how can you save us? The high priest must have made a mistake. And why would I die for you? Hehe..." Ri Jiu chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Feelings are such strange things. I unknowingly fell into them, even believing that you could save the fox clan, and accepting my fate. I was prepared to wither away and die, but I never thought this day would come so soon?"

Upon hearing Ri Jiu's words, Gu Yu suddenly understood something. The price to pay for transforming from a fox into a human would be enormous. He also suddenly understood why Ri Jiu had such strong cultivation; it wasn't a secret technique, but her original power.

But now, her body is a human body, only a five-pointed cone. How could she withstand that power? Every time that power was used, it was a huge torment to Ri Jiu's body. And every time Ri Jiu used it, it was because of him. He thought that even if there was a backlash, it shouldn't have much of an impact. After all, he hadn't seen Ri Jiu weaken for long. At this moment, Gu Yu was annoyed. He wanted to slap himself a few times.

"Gu Yu, don't be sad for me. It's not worth it. I only approached you to use you!" Ri Jiu reached out and wiped away the tears from Gu Yu's eyes. "Gu Yu, please take care of the fox clan for me. And... can you kiss me?"

Looking at Ri Jiu in his arms, Gu Yu's heart ached. Unknowingly, Ri Jiu had fallen in love with him, and he had fallen in love with Ri Jiu as well! It's just that he had never dared to face his own heart.

Gu Yu gently lowered his head and kissed Ri Jiu. This wasn't their first kiss! But this time, the meaning was different.

"Gu Yu, I am content." Ri Jiu murmured, and suddenly black energy emanated from her body, and she began to tremble painfully.

"I won't let you die, I won't..." Gu Yu looked at the resentment that was eroding Ri Jiu, and he suddenly made a decision. The people these resentful spirits truly hated were gods and demons. If he unleashed the power of gods and demons, these resentful spirits would definitely be attracted to him. Even the resentment that was eroding Ri Jiu's primordial spirit and body would be attracted to him.

"I am the god and the demon, and the god and the demon are me. You resent the god and the demon, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. Come on, come at me." The power of the god and the demon surged from Gu Yu's body.

"Gu Yu, no."

Upon sensing this, Long Yuan roared, and at the same time, the surrounding resentment rushed towards Gu Yu, including the resentment that was eroding Ri Jiu. They instantly left Ri Jiu's body and swept towards Gu Yu's body.

"No!" Ri Jiu cried out in alarm when she saw this, but the next second, Gu Yu exerted a force on her hand and pushed Ri Jiu toward Zhang Huangling.

"Take care. If I die, tell He Wen that you must become strong and protect my family," Gu Yu said.

The next second, his figure suddenly flew into the void, and countless resentful energies swept towards his body.

He immediately coughed up blood, his body was breaking apart, and the resentment that had accumulated over countless years seemed to have found an outlet. They did not want Gu Yu to die so easily, and they wanted to torture him little by little.

"It's over, everything is over." At this moment, Longyuan stood there in a daze, its body growing dimmer and dimmer. Gu Yu was dead, and he would die too.

But the next second, he seemed to sense something. His illusory body was no longer illusory; it was Gu Yu, severing their connection and contract.

ah……………

At this moment, Gu Yu roared in agony, countless memories flooding his mind. He had vowed that, whether in his past life or in his dreams, he would never let the same thing happen again. But now he was about to die, so what was the meaning of his rebirth? Was it just to let these dragons vent their anger? But it was Gan Hekun who destroyed the dragons, not him, Gu Yu! In his past life or in his dreams, he had died at the Kunlun Source Gate, and now he was dying there too. How ridiculous!

He was unwilling, but what good was being unwilling? Since ancient times, who has ever faced death willingly?

Countless resentful energies swept wildly through Gu Yu's body. Gu Yu felt as if his body no longer belonged to him, because he had lost all connection with it. The only thing he could move was his thoughts.

"Gu Yu!" Ri Jiu cried out hoarsely as she watched this scene, but she was no longer able to use her power. The resentment that had been eroding her had just been drawn away by Gu Yu, and she was now extremely weak. She could only watch helplessly as Gu Yu died.

Zhang Huangling watched this scene, his eyes also filled with sorrow.

“Brother Gu, I, Zhang Huangling, swear that I will avenge you,” Zhang Huangling said.

At this moment, Ma Li's eyes sparkled with excitement, while Lu Yao's eyes held a hint of complexity.

As for Long Yuan, he suddenly roared, "I am the Heaven-Shaking Dragon God, your Dragon God! I command you, do not harm him! He is innocent! He is not the one who killed you, the one who killed your universe!"

But his roar was useless at this moment. How could the Heavenly Dragon God stop the resentment that had been accumulating for countless years? Even if the Dragon Ancestor were alive, he could not do it.

"Am I going to die?" Gu Yu's consciousness was already weak at this moment. He was going to die eventually. Maybe he was a dead man all along. This was just a dream before he died. Maybe this was fate.

Just then, in the distance, in a place filled with gray energy, not divine or demonic power, a dark object suddenly appeared. It appeared in front of Gu Yu in an instant, and the countless resentful energies sweeping over Gu Yu were blocked in a moment.

Everyone who saw this was clearly stunned. It was a knife, dark and colorless, covered in rust. But its appearance immediately blocked the surging resentment.

At the same moment Gu Yu's consciousness disappeared, a voice rang in his mind.

"You've finally come. I've been waiting for you for a long time. But child, you're too weak. You're just a bunch of resentment. Even if they were alive, you could destroy them with a flick of your wrist."

The next second, a boundless divine and demonic power emanated from Gu Yu's body, and a figure instantly appeared.

"Gan?" Upon seeing the figure, Long Yuan's eyes instantly went blank. It was Gan. Others might not recognize him, but he did. After all, he had personally witnessed the battle between two gods and demons, and the figure in front of him was Gan.

The figure appeared, and in an instant, the countless resentful spirits suddenly felt a sense of fear. They had hated the gods and demons for countless years, but today, seeing the gods and demons with their own eyes, they were afraid! This was a blatant mockery.

"Gods and demons, how could you possibly slay them?" Gan grasped the black blade in an instant. The blade, which had become dull and lifeless in his grasp, now exuded an aura of terrifying power.

With a dry grip on the black knife, he casually slashed out, instantly dispelling most of the countless resentments.

Upon seeing this, Ma Li immediately grabbed Lu Yao and fled the place at an extremely fast speed.

He understood perfectly well that even if he controlled all the resentment, he couldn't contend with that figure. It was simply too powerful. Even a single glance from it filled him with a deep-seated fear.

At this moment, the overwhelming resentment, which seemed to be dry, suddenly gathered and merged, and a black dragon appeared. Its body was enormous, and its eyes flashed with rage.

Looking at the black dragon formed from countless resentful energies, Gan frowned, then suddenly swung his sword and charged towards the black dragon.

A god and a demon, and a black dragon, clashed instantly, causing space to shatter and the void to tremble.

It was obvious that the black dragon was no match for Gan. With each strike Gan made, most of the resentment on the black dragon would disappear.

roar………

The black dragon suddenly roared to the sky, its roar echoing throughout the entire Kunlun Origin Gate world.

In an instant, countless jet-black resentful energies swept towards the black dragon. This world was once a world of dragons. Only a small portion of the dragons died here, while countless other dragons died unwillingly, giving rise to countless resentful energies. These resentful energies seemed to hear the black dragon's roar and rushed towards this place one after another, merging into the black dragon's body.

Seeing this, Gan's pupils contracted, and he suddenly swung the knife in his hand, unleashing a surge of earth-shattering energy.

In an instant, the black dragon disintegrated into dust, and the overwhelming resentment that had once blotted out the sky vanished without a trace. The resentment from all parts of Kunlun Source Gate was blocked by the black and white power.

He glanced at Gu Yu, and his body gradually dissipated. Even the black knife in his hand turned into specks of light in an instant and disappeared without a trace.

"Child, go deeper, find me." A voice appeared in Gu Yu's mind again, and then his body slowly fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Ri Jiu rushed towards Gu Yu. Seeing that Gu Yu was still breathing, she immediately felt relieved.

Long Yuan and Zhang Huangling also arrived at Gu Yu's side. The two of them immediately injected a large amount of Origin Qi into Gu Yu's body to heal him.

"He's alright. The resentment in his body has been dispelled by Gan. Fortunately, Gan's projection arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. But, is Gan really still alive?" Long Yuan frowned. No matter how powerful the gods and demons others say they are, others can't really sense it because they haven't seen it with their own eyes. But Long Yuan is different; he has seen it with his own eyes.

Such powerful beings didn't die in that great battle back then, but why haven't they appeared all these years? I can't figure it out. Could it be that they killed Kun and were seriously injured? That's a possibility.

At this moment, Ma Li and Lu Yao looked at the suddenly vanished resentment with lingering fear. Luckily, they ran fast. What exactly was that figure? How could it be so powerful?

At this moment, Ma Li suddenly became somewhat angry. This was his opportunity! And it was gone just like that. If he had borne all the resentment, he might have been able to reach the God Realm! But now he was only at the Commander Realm. It was all Gu Yu's fault.

He just hadn't considered that if he hadn't attacked Gu Yu, none of this would have happened.

"Lu Yao, I told you before not to have any other thoughts, but you seem to have ignored me?" Ma Li looked at Lu Yao again, furious. This woman was increasingly infuriating him, but he couldn't touch her and had to protect her because she possessed something that could help him. That thing was quite magical; he also had it, which could triple his combat power. Although the effect didn't last very long, only three minutes, it was enough. For example, with his current cultivation at the Commander Realm, a three-fold increase in combat power would allow him to rival someone at the Marquis Realm. However, what puzzled him was that whenever he encountered Gu Yu and prepared to fight him, that thing would become unusable. This was one of the reasons why he had to kill Gu Yu.

In his mind, Gu Yu might be his nemesis, and he was determined not to allow such a person to exist.

What he didn't know was that Gu Yu's system would also become ineffective if it was fighting against him.

Lu Yao also has this substance in her body, but it's not a three-fold increase. Of course, Ma Li isn't entirely sure, since Lu Yao is a very cunning woman, and she sometimes doesn't tell the truth.

Moreover, the triple amplification within Ma Li's body was activated because of Lu Yao. Ma Li suddenly gained this ability the first time they slept together, which was very strange. Furthermore, whenever he was with Lu Yao, especially during yin-yang intercourse, Ma Li's cultivation level would increase rapidly.

Ma Li had also considered killing Lu Yao and taking the same thing inside her as him, but every time he tried to kill Lu Yao, he would be controlled by a strange force and unable to do so. This should be the power of the thing inside Lu Yao.

“Ma Li, you promised me you would kill Gu Yu,” Lu Yao said, looking at Ma Li.

At this moment, the scene of the figure that suddenly appeared on Gu Yu's body was still in her mind. That figure was extremely powerful. Even the resentment generated by the death of countless true dragons combined was no match for the opponent. This made her feel a little regretful. If she had been with Gu Yu earlier, perhaps she could have touched that power. No! She must touch that power. She did not believe that Gu Yu really had no feelings for her at all.

"Lu Yao, is it because you can't let him go that you demand I kill him?" Ma Li looked at Lu Yao, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Ma Li, I did all this for you." Lu Yao said immediately, sensing the murderous intent in Ma Li's eyes.

"For me?" Upon hearing Lu Yao's words, a mocking glint appeared in Ma Li's eyes. At first, he might have indeed been full of love for Lu Yao, but as time went by and he grew stronger, he gradually became somewhat annoyed, especially when he saw the women beside Gu Yu. Whether it was Xu Ling'er or Ri Jiu, they were both top-tier beauties. Looking at Lu Yao, although she was pretty, she paled in comparison. Especially since this woman was still hung up on that guy Gu Yu, it made him even more disgusted, and he even had the urge to kill Lu Yao.

And everything Lu Yao did at this time was for his own good? You can't forget a man you used to have a relationship with, and when your current boyfriend finds out, you actually say it's for his own good? If he believes that, wouldn't he be a complete idiot? At least Ma Li doesn't believe it.

"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Ma Li said through gritted teeth.

“Ma Li, you once said you liked me the most, loved me the most, and would never abandon me for the rest of your life. Why have you changed now? Are you disgusted, or have you grown tired of me? All I see in your eyes now is disgust, even in bed, you look at me with disgust. Why?” Tears welled up in Lu Yao’s eyes as she looked at Ma Li with teary eyes. “If I really liked Gu Yu, why would I be with you? I could have chosen to be with Gu Yu directly. I didn’t know your father was the King of the Northeast. I gave you everything. Why do you doubt me?”

Looking at Lu Yao's teary eyes, Ma Li's heart suddenly softened. Did he not love Lu Yao? No! There was a time when he was extremely infatuated with Lu Yao, to the point of death. He didn't know when he started to change, treating Lu Yao as a tool that was useful to him.

“Ma Li, I truly love you. You were once all alone and vulnerable, bullied and laughed at by everyone. Seeing and hearing that hurt me deeply, and I wanted to help you. Seeing you become strong makes me so happy… I really love you so much. Everything I've done is truly for you. Please believe me. I swear, if I've uttered even half a lie, may I suffer a fate worse than death, and may I be struck by lightning,” Lu Yao said.

At this point, Ma Li had completely softened. If a man makes a woman angry, it's like trying to make her happy again. But if a woman makes a man angry, she can make him happy again with just a little trick.

Even Ma Li, this arrogant and conceited man who thinks he's the protagonist, is no exception.

“Ma Li, do you know? Gu Yu should also have something similar to what's inside me. Speaking of which, his thing is somewhat similar to yours, and it seems to be able to amplify combat power three times.” Lu Yao suddenly walked to Ma Li’s side, her eyes brimming with tears, and hugged Ma Li tenderly, saying this.

"Huh?" Upon hearing Lu Yao's words, Ma Li's mind, which had been immersed in Lu Yao's sweet words, instantly cleared. This was huge news for him. "Really?"

"Yes!" Lu Yao nodded and said with certainty, "I can sense something. I told you before that the thing inside me doesn't have the ability to triple in power, but you never believed me."

Lu Yao suddenly pouted and looked at Ma Li with a wronged expression. Her hand was drawing circles on her chest. "And my ability seems to be auxiliary. It seems to be able to sense the same things. I can sense the same things as us from Gu Yu. It's very clear."
