He felt his body trembling violently, his clothes soaked with sweat and blood. Every breath he took felt like thousands of needles piercing his lungs, causing him to feel suffocated.
At this moment, time seemed to be cast under a spell, becoming extremely slow, and every passing second seemed to be infinitely stretched.
Gu Qingze could clearly hear the sound of his own heartbeat and feel the warm blood gushing out of the wound. It was a terrifying feeling that his life was gradually slipping away.
However, he did not put up any resistance.
He let Chu Lingxiao's sword pierce his body, even though his heart was full of doubts - why Lingxiao did not act according to the script.
However, at that moment, he felt more of a sense of relief. At least, Ling Xiao was able to do it, which was perhaps the best outcome for the upcoming plot.
After a while, Gu Qingze keenly sensed that something was amiss. Chu Lingxiao's attack wasn't an act; he truly intended to kill him.
If he had not mobilized all his spiritual power in time to focus on protecting his heart, and had not had systematic auxiliary protection, he would probably have died long ago.
He endured the severe pain and quickly replayed Ling Xiao's abnormal behavior in his mind.
Suddenly, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
So that's how it was. Ling Xiao was being controlled... or more accurately, manipulated by the Heavenly Dao. It seemed like the Heavenly Dao was trying to use Ling Xiao to end his life.
He said it, how could Ling Xiao be willing to attack him so decisively?
After figuring this out, Gu Qingze began to dodge Chu Lingxiao's attacks flexibly, while approaching the edge of the cliff step by step.
Finally, at the right moment, he leaned back without hesitation and fell straight to the bottom of the cliff.
............
At the moment when Gu Qingze fell off the cliff, he caught a glimpse of clarity in Ling Xiao's eyes, which further confirmed his previous guess.
In fact, at that moment, he was fully capable of using the sword as support, or taking other means or protective measures to avoid falling directly.
But he didn't do that, because the script clearly described that Gu Qingze fell straight down. In order to follow the setting of the script, he didn't even use his spiritual power to protect his body.
He chose to fully trust the arrangement of the script, even if it meant taking great risks and pain, all for the sake of presenting the plot more perfectly.
After falling off the cliff, Gu Qingze felt that the whole world was spinning in an instant. The feeling of weightlessness was like an invisible big hand, suddenly pulling him into the bottomless dark abyss.
The wind whistled in his ears, mixed with a biting chill, and his mind unexpectedly fell into a blank, as if all his thoughts were swallowed up by this emptiness.
Immediately afterwards, his body began to collide continuously with rocks and branches.
Every collision was like being hit by a huge hammer. Pain came from every corner of his body, gathering into an unbearable torrent, impacting his will.
His back seemed to be broken at this moment. Every breath became extremely difficult and accompanied by severe pain, as if a sharp knife was constantly stirring in his chest.
When he finally fell heavily to the ground, the pain reached an unprecedented peak.
His body seemed to be torn apart, every joint was wailing, and his muscles were stretched to the limit, as if they would break at any time.
He tried to move, but even the slightest movement brought unspeakable pain. It felt like every bone in his body was out of place and his internal organs were churning.
The pain came like a surging tide, wave after wave. Every breath felt like thousands of needles were inserted into his lungs, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
He felt his body shaking constantly, and blood gradually blurred his vision.
After confirming that the part of the script given to him by Feng Ying had ended here, Gu Qingze carefully moved his arm, took out the healing potion from the storage bag with difficulty, and drank it all in one gulp.
Then, he cast his gaze towards the brilliant starry sky again. How wonderful it would be if he could admire such a beautiful starry sky with Ling Xiao.
It’s a pity...after Ling Xiao wakes up, he will probably fall into deep self-blame, right?
Thinking of this, Gu Qingze couldn't help but feel worried again.
His injuries weren't actually that serious. Just a dozen minor sword wounds, a few serious puncture wounds, and some injuries from falling off a cliff.
To him, these...are nothing anymore.
Perhaps in the past, he would have felt that these injuries were very serious, but since experiencing the baptism of the Nether Spring, his ability to endure pain has been greatly improved.
Speaking of Ling Xiao, he still had to go find Feng Ying to ask for an explanation. Ling Xiao was able to be controlled by the Heavenly Dao, and Feng Ying, as the protector, was definitely involved.
Gu Qingze didn't have much feeling about what had just happened, except for regret.
Because he did not meet the real Ling Xiao, but met a Ling Xiao who was controlled by the Heavenly Dao and lost his mind.
If the real Ling Xiao wanted to kill him without hesitation, he might feel sad.
But now...isn't it normal that Tiandao wants to kill him?
After taking the healing potion and resting for a while, Gu Qingze felt that his body gradually regained some strength and he could barely move.
So, he released Xiaobai from his beast bag. This was a spirit beast he had carefully nurtured, both smart and loyal. He patted Xiaobai's back gently, signaling it to carry him back.
