“Kill!” Wang Da roared, abruptly leaping from the treetops and plunging downwards.
As he neared his enemy, three crescent-shaped blades suddenly shot forth, intercepting his path.
“There’s a fourth Gu Master?” Wang Da’s heart sank as he twisted his body mid-air, narrowly dodging two of the crescent blades. The remaining one was unavoidable and struck his left leg.
Bang.
Wang Da crashed to the ground, lowering his head to examine his left leg. The wound was deep and long, already oozing blood.
“Damn it…” Wang Da gritted his teeth, a thought flashing through his mind. “Shadow Companion Gu!”
Instantly, he transformed into a dense cloud of shadows, his speed skyrocketing. He silently retreated.
At that moment.
A Gu worm flew out, accompanied by an old voice—
“Flashing Gu, explode.”
The Gu worm exploded, creating a blinding white light.
The light was unbearable, appearing suddenly and illuminating the dark forest.
“Ah!” Wang Da screamed, his shadowy form exposed by the white light, instantly restoring him to his original state.
Wang Da was grievously injured, but he didn't give up. Instead, in his final moments, his ferocity intensified, and he lunged toward Fang Yuan.
He sprinted, attempting to bypass Gu Yue Sou and attack the man who had killed his family.
“Don’t even think about it!”
Wang Da ducked low, narrowly avoiding two gleaming white spikes.
His ten fingernails had grown to half the length of his palm, turning a deep purple with wispy, violet-colored poison swirling around them.
“Die!” Wang Da was consumed by madness, laughing savagely as he closed in on his target.
In his eyes, Fang Yuan’s face displayed shock and fear.
The bloodthirsty urge to kill filled Wang Da’s mind. He could almost hear the sound of his nails piercing Fang Yuan’s skin, followed by the latter's gasp of despair.
“Don’t even think about it!”
Just as victory seemed imminent, a figure materialized, blocking Wang Da’s path.
The fifth Second-Stage Gu Master arrived from a distance!
Upon appearing, this Gu Master immediately unleashed a lethal attack, punching Wang Da away with a single blow.
Wang Da managed to struggle to his feet, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
“Only half of my true essence remains. I’m going to die.” He examined his empty cavities, letting out a bleak laugh. Looking at Fang Yuan in the distance, a crazed determination flashed across his face. “I’ll take you down with me!”
He disregarded his injuries and charged once more.
“Stop him!” The middle-aged Gu Master urged.
Gu Yue Sou had arrived, his white hair congealing into a cluster of spiral-shaped needles, each the size of a finger. These needles darted like serpents, extending five or six meters, catching up to Wang Da from behind and piercing his body.
Yet, Wang Da remained undeterred, surging forward.
“Die!” He roared maniacally, his ten fingers now half a meter long.
The middle-aged Gu Master rushed towards him. Upon witnessing this scene, his face turned pale, but it was too late to intervene.
However, everything was too late. Wang Da managed to dig his nails into Fang Yuan's body.
Gu Yue Sou retaliated with hatred, his needle-like hair piercing Wang Da’s body.
A powerful dizziness overcame him. Wang Da let out a bitter laugh. He knew death was approaching.
How unwilling he was to leave!
His vision blurred. As death neared, the most vivid memory surfaced.
“Wan Er...” He involuntarily called out his wife’s name. A blade in his hand had pierced her body.
“Why?” His wife looked at Wang Da, her beautiful face contorted with shock and bewilderment. She stared intently into his eyes.
Wang Da’s eyes were bloodshot, his entire body trembling. He choked out three words: “I’m sorry.”
His wife smiled faintly, her smile filled with love, devoid of any hatred.
“I understand.” She said.
She tried to reach out with her right hand, one last caress for Wang Da’s face before her life slipped away.
But her hand fell short.
Slaying his wife, stealing her heart, and refining it into "Love Separation" Gu. He gained strength, embarking on the path of demonic cultivation!
Did he regret it?
Countless times, Wang Da had asked himself.
Regret! Regret to the point of living a life worse than death. Therefore, he swore to protect his remaining loved ones!
But.
But…
“If I could go back in time, Wan Er, I’d still do it…” Tears of anguish poured from Wang Da’s bloodshot eyes.

In the chat group.
【Li Bao Ping: “As the saying goes, 'Those who do evil will surely perish.’ Fang Yuan, you demon, you were finally punished, weren’t you?”】
【Li Huai: “That’s poison. Instant death. Was Fang Yuan close to death back then?”】
【Chen Ling Jun: “Serves him right!”】
【Zi Wei Xian Zi: “Heaven can forgive sins committed by fate, but it cannot forgive sins committed by oneself. Fang Yuan, this is the price you pay for taking innocent lives.”】
【Chen Ping An: “Those who kill will be killed!”】
Everyone ridiculed Fang Yuan, but the chat group suddenly erupted in a furious roar.
【Fang Zheng: “It was you!! Fang Yuan!! I was attacked back then, all because of you. I’m your brother! You did this to your own brother, are you even human???”】
【Li Huai: “What???”】
【Chen Ling Jun: “What do you mean? Didn’t Wang Da assassinate Fang Yuan? What does this have to do with you???”】
【Fang Zheng: “What Fang Yuan? The person in the projection was me!! Back then, we all thought it was the Bai family or the Xiong family because my talent was exceptional, they wanted to assassinate me. But it turned out to be because of that old demon Fang Yuan!!”】
【Li Huai: “Ah?? Is that true???”】
【Feng Tian Yu: “Hahaha, hahaha, you bunch of idiots, you’re going to make me die laughing. You’re saying ‘Those who commit sins will be punished’ and 'those who kill will be killed,’ but you don’t even know who Wang Da killed. How dare you say all that? If the target was Fang Yuan, would he have been protected by so many Gu Masters? He’s just a C-rank talent, why would the clan care so much about him?”】
Everyone was speechless. They had been mocking him for so long, but it turned out they were the ones who had been slapped in the face.
