Chapter 66:
Xu Ze flew swiftly into the distance while Gu Ling effortlessly followed behind him.
In the blink of an eye, they had traveled hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Holy Heaven and Earth Sect and reached a desolate vast mountainous area.
As far as their eyes could see, endless mountains and rivers stretched out before them.
In the sky, winds whipped up remnants of clouds and swirled like a gigantic vortex.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the center of the sky.
Xu Ze halted in mid-air and faced Gu Ling.
"Oh? Choosing to die here?" Gu Ling sneered coldly. Her expression couldn't be seen under the hood, but her voice was deep and hollow.
Die here... what a joke.
Xu Ze's face was emotionless.
He turned around and maintained his usual calm demeanor, as if facing the person in front of him without fear.
"Hmph, disgusting attitude..." Gu Ling's cold laughter stopped. Her teeth clenched underneath her hood and clenched her fists.
"In the past nine lifetimes, whenever I met you, you always had that stinky expression..." Gu Ling's voice trembled with emotion.
"I never opened up to anyone but you... you were the only exception!"
"But how did you treat me..."
Boom, boom, boom.
Thunder rumbled, illuminating the dark sky as bright as day.
Xu Ze stood amidst the raging winds, his robe fluttering, his black hair dancing.
Despite the chaos around him, he remained calm and gazed indifferently at Gu Ling.
Seeing Xu Ze’s indifferent face, Gu Ling laughed hysterically and the lightning made her seem even more frantic.
"Enough already, are you proud of your face even in death?"
"Do you think you can defeat me? Do you know my current realm?"
Gu Ling's eyes glowed red, and a dense, chaotic Qi emanated from her.
The surrounding space seemed to distort. The space seemed to shatter, emitting creaking sounds.
This thunder was like cracks in a mirror, now covering the entire sky.
Xuan Zun! The strongest existence at the pinnacle of the Qiankun Continent!
Xu Ze felt like his heart had stopped beating, and his blood froze.
Even maintaining his basic flying skills seemed impossible, and the difference was evident in Xu Ze's mind.
Not to mention Xuan Zun, anyone would be unable to withstand her pressure.
"Haha, do you know now? Do you know how powerful I am in this life?" Gu Ling sneered, her surrounding Qi gradually dissipating.
"You are indeed powerful." Xu Ze breathed deeply as his face regained its usual calm.
"You..." Gu Ling's pupils shrank.
"Hahaha, are you too unyielding even in the face of death? I despise men like you who care more about their reputation..." Gu Ling laughed again, her aura becoming more chaotic.
"Why don't you show a fearful expression? Why can't you kneel down and beg for mercy like a normal person?"
"Is it just for your ridiculous pride?"
Gu Ling laughed again, but the more she laughed, the more chaotic her aura became.
"Ridiculous! In the past nine lifetimes, you entered the Abyss for this pride..."
"In the past nine lifetimes, you slaughtered everywhere in the Abyss like a god..."
"It's also because of this pride that you swore to regain everything from the Holy Heaven and Earth Sect at all costs..."
"Even using me, abandoning me..."
Gu Ling's heart was collapsing even more.
She wanted to see fear on Xu Ze's face, she wanted to see a different expression from him.
She wanted to destroy Xu Ze's pride and his character that she admired!
However, she found that she couldn't do it at all.
Xu Ze's stinky face seemed like it would never show weakness in this lifetime.
Meanwhile, a trace of pity and self-blame flashed in Xu Ze's eyes.
Indeed, whether it was Gu Ling or other female leads, they had become like this because of his actions in the past nine lifetimes.
Though Xu Ze could justify it as part of completing the plot and mission, deep down, he knew he was the one who abandoned them.
So when each reincarnation ended and he was killed, Xu Ze felt no resentment, only relief. But this time, facing the awakened memories of the female leads, he felt bitter.
If... there was no system, no missions, no barriers preventing him from expressing his true feelings...
Xu Ze sighed.
He opened his hand, and a ball of azure Holy Flame pulsated in his palm.
In this life, he wasn't the heartless main villain anymore.
In this life, he could help the female leads who suffered because of him.
It was the final mission from the system and Xu Ze's punishment.
"Holy Flame Lotus."
The sky was filled with Holy Flame, instantly illuminating the entire dark sky.
Xu Ze calmly flew toward Gu Ling again, with the holy flame resembling several dragons following behind him.
However, no matter how devastating his move was, it was still insignificant before Xuan Zun.
But watching these dancing fire dragons, Gu Ling seemed stunned and allowed Xu Ze to approach her.
"Is this the move we used when we first met?" Gu Ling squinted her eyes and allowed the fire dragons to fly past her. The Holy Flame burned around her body, but it didn't harm her at all.
Xu Ze didn't respond.
With his right hand, he struck Gu Ling's right shoulder with thunder.
Boom!
With thunderous force, Gu Ling's body was blasted hundreds of meters away. But she remained unscathed and quickly stabilized her body.
"Holy Flame Palm... I asked you to teach me this before, but you said you'd teach me one move for each kiss..."
"Oh? Is this the Sky Breaking Palm? You said this move, although it's a Heavenly-ranked Profound Technique, is not efficient and not as useful as other Profound Techniques."
"This move..."
Xu Ze displayed all three thousand of the Holy Heaven and Earth Sect's supreme techniques, exhausting more than half of the spiritual Qi within him.
However, Gu Ling remained unharmed, her eyes empty and seemingly lost in memories.
After the last move was executed, Gu Ling managed to break free from the thoughts.
She smiled bitterly and raised her hand slowly. A strong suction force suddenly pulled Xu Ze in front of Gu Ling.
Gu Ling's finger directly penetrated Xu Ze's chest. Her eyes flashed with fierceness.
"It's over, Xu Ze."
"I want to see if you, this heartless man, have a heart..."
Watching this hand plunge into his chest, a trace of a smile appeared on Xu Ze's lips.
He raised his hand and finger gently touched the place between Gu Ling's eyebrows.
At that moment, the Holy Flame that had penetrated Gu Ling's body earlier ignited fiercely.
Gu Ling's pupils trembled. Suddenly, the entire world in front of her eyes appeared to be spinning rapidly.
"What is this..."
Gu Ling was greatly shocked.
Just as she was about to use her profound strength to break free from the Holy Flame, she suddenly found that the scene in front of her was gradually clearing again.
Everything around her seemed unusually real.
Gu Ling wore elegant clothes and stood on a plain covered with blooming flowers.
In front of her, a man in white robes stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the distant scenery in indifference.
Here...
Was this the Abyssal Valley?
That guy Xu Ze used an illusion?
He dared to use such an illusion in front of the Demon Lord, really daring...
She only needed a mere thought to break such a shallow illusion.
Gu Ling sneered and was about to break the illusion. However, the man in front of her slowly turned around and revealed a gentle smile.
"Ling'er, didn't you say you wanted to learn the Holy Flame Palm?"
"Sure, kiss me once, and I'll teach you one move."
