"Don't think I wouldn't dare kill you, Gu Liyan. I'll let you taste this too!" With that, a blue lightning mark flashed in Mo Chen's eyes, and he unleashed all his skills, with bolts of blue lightning striking down fiercely towards Gu Liyan.
"ah--"
Hua Baixian covered her mouth, staring in disbelief at the falling figure, its blood-stained white robes a sight that broke her heart.
Gu Liyan crashed heavily onto the soft ground, spitting out another mouthful of blood. He immediately convulsed, his movements stiffened by the numbness.
Mo Chen landed steadily, looked at the disheveled Gu Liyan and burst into laughter, "How was it? How does it feel to be struck by lightning?"
Gu Liyan got up, his body still trembling slightly. "Dual domains...you are very powerful!"
Mo Chen smiled with narrowed eyes, "I didn't expect you to be able to get up. It seems that your cultivation has improved and your physical body has also benefited a lot."
Gu Liyan's legs trembled slightly. Seeing that Mo Chen was unharmed, she had already made the worst-case scenario plan.
He looked up and met Hua Baixian's concerned gaze. He couldn't help but smile. Sure enough, she still cared about him.
It's alright, life and death are predestined. If she were to die, she could protect herself now...
Gu Liyan straightened her chest, looked at Mo Chen, and said, "Come on!"
Mo Chen narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly, "It seems you're determined to die! In that case, I'll grant your wish!"
As he spoke, the paper fan in his hand floated in mid-air, transforming into countless spears aimed at Gu Liyan. Mo Chen coldly said, "Gu Liyan, I destroyed your Li City. Since you are determined to die today, I will destroy this Hua Mansion to accompany you in death!"
Gu Liyan's pupils contracted as the spear suddenly turned towards Hua Baixian's former residence. Gu Liyan was immediately horrified, "No—"
Mo Chen narrowed his eyes and sneered, showing no regard for the beautiful Hua Mansion. With a wave of his hand, countless spears were imbued with the power of the Wind and Thunder domains:
"Upholding the law based on family ties, punish those who violate it with a thousand spears—"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless spears shot towards the Hua residence...
Can't--
All of Hua Baixian's memories are here; they must not be destroyed!
"Ah—" Gu Liyan roared and charged forward without hesitation.
"No, Xiao Li—" Seeing the figure rushing forward to stop her, Hua Baixian's tears fell instantly, revealing the unbearable sorrow in her heart.
The moment Li Cheng collapsed, her heart turned cold and shattered. She thought the person she had waited so earnestly would never return and would no longer care about her life or death. She thought all his promises were nothing but jokes that couldn't withstand the test of time!
She was unwilling to accept it, she refused to submit, and she wanted to gamble on that person's true love. So, having obtained the aura of death, she used it as the price, as the stake, betting that he would love only her for all eternity!
But--
She never imagined that in the end, it would cost him his life!
"Boom—" Mo Chen spoke softly, and in an instant, a powerful explosion resounded through the sky, and dust flew everywhere...
"Aww—"
A pitiful scream startled Hua Baixian, who froze on the spot. "Little...little fox..."
As the dust settled, a massive body was revealed, covered in blood, with countless spears piercing its body—a gruesome sight!
In an instant, the surrounding rain of withered flowers was whipped up by a powerful gust of wind—
"Cough—" Gu Liyan coughed up a mouthful of blood, staining the flowers red.
Looking at Gu Liyan's true form, Mo Chen couldn't help but smile, "A nine-tailed fox?"
Nine white tails protected the house where Hua Baixian lived.
"You can kill me... but you can't destroy our memories!" Gu Liyan's weak voice rang out, his eyes growing even colder.
Mo Chen squinted at Gu Liyan. "Oh? Is that so? Then I'll just destroy it anyway."
Instantly, Gu Liyan felt his blood rush to his head, and he spat out another mouthful of blood, his breath weakening even further.
"Stop!" Hua Baixian cried out urgently. "Mo Chen, stop! I surrender! Please don't hurt Xiao Li! I'll give you the Death Qi, just let him go! Please!"
Gu Liyan looked up at Hua Baixian, whose face was streaked with tears, and didn't understand what she meant. "Xiao Bai?"
Mo Chen coldly smiled and explained, "When I entered the Hua Mansion before, I destroyed Li City. In despair, Hua Baixian was possessed by the aura of death. The original intention of the vengeful spirit and the aura of death was to destroy the Heavenly Demon race and plunge both races into the shadow of death."
"What?!" Everyone was shocked. If this were true, then both the Heavenly Demon and the Demon races would cease to exist!
"Fortunately, Hua Baixian retained a sliver of her sanity because of you, you fox demon. I made a bet with Hua Baixian, betting on whether you have the ability to protect her for all eternity!"
"What?" Gu Liyan was shocked and looked at Hua Baixian with a worried expression.
"What she didn't expect was that I had already foreseen that you would protect her even at the cost of your life, but I didn't choose that option because, here, you are the only one who cannot be killed! Therefore, I had already predicted that you would be the final choice to fight in this competition. That idiot Bu Yunrui actually sent me to the battlefield and used me as a pawn..."
Mo Chen smiled and said, "I won the bet with Hua Baixian, so she gave me her dying aura. As for this competition between the Heavenly and Demonic races, it's over! Gu Liyan threatened to kill himself, so I can't kill him—"
I surrender!
"What?!" The Celestial Clan members stared at Mo Chen in astonishment.
The demon Bu Yunrui was utterly shocked. "Mo Chen! You, do you know what you're doing?! You, you dare—"
Mo Chen turned around and looked at Bu Yunrui, sneering, "In the end, the victory or defeat of your demon race has nothing to do with me. What I want is the aura of death. My deal with Cang Mu was that I would help him take down the Heavenly Clan, and he would help me find the aura of death and give it to me."
