Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Qin Xiaochuan turned his head and saw that Guo Shiyi had flown over on her Kaiming mount at some point. She controlled the willow branches that filled the sky with her hands, and spiritual power surged wildly from her body. Because she exerted too much force, her eyes were bloodshot and blood was seeping from the corner of her mouth, but she was completely unaware of it. All her mind was focused on the spear. Despite her best efforts, she still could not stop the spear from advancing slowly. The spear shone with golden light and broke through the willow branches, piercing into the Qilin armor on Qin Xiaochuan's body.

Watching Guo Shiyi risk her life to save him, Qin Xiaochuan felt a pang of heartache. He wanted to comfort her, but he felt a lump in his throat and couldn't utter a word. Only when the spear pierced through the Qilin armor and blood flowed from the tip did he softly utter, "Shiyi, I'm sorry."

Upon hearing Qin Xiaochuan's words, Guo Shiyi turned to look at him. Her face, which had been pale and wan from exertion, now revealed a poignant smile. Qin Xiaochuan saw fearlessness and determination in her smile. It seemed that this girl was telling Qin Xiaochuan with her smile that it was okay, no matter what happened, they would walk together.

Guo Shiyi unleashed an even stronger burst of spiritual power, and the spear still pierced Qin Xiaochuan's chest in the next second. However, before that, Guo Shiyi forcefully pulled the spearhead off course by a distance.

"Oh? You actually managed to deflect my Law Spear with your own power? Interesting." Du Cheng looked at Qin Xiaochuan, who was grimacing in pain. Although the spear had pierced his chest, it had avoided his heart, so although he was seriously injured, his life was not in danger for the time being. Du Cheng then looked at Guo Shiyi, who was exhausted, and said indifferently, "You two really have a bond stronger than gold. It's just a pity that all your efforts are in vain in the face of the absolute laws of heaven." As he spoke, another golden spear condensed in his hand, and the tip of the spear was once again aimed at Qin Xiaochuan.

"Damn it! How can I break free from this giant hand's control?" Qin Xiaochuan's face turned pale as he stared at the gleaming golden spear tip. It wasn't that he was afraid of death, but seeing how much effort Guo Shiyi had put in to save his life, he didn't want to let her down. Unfortunately, although he was determined to break free, the unique law-based restrictions within the giant hand rendered his body completely immobile. He couldn't use any movement skills, nor could he wield the Xuanyuan Sword. He could only release spiritual energy for simple defense, which was utterly meaningless against Du Cheng's Law-based Spear.

Before Qin Xiaochuan could think further, Du Cheng hurled his spear again. This time, there was no resistance; Qin Xiaochuan hadn't even had time to react before the spear pierced his heart. Sometimes death comes faster than expected.

"Xiao Chuan!" Guo Shiyi cried out in anguish, as if her soul had been suddenly ripped away. Her eyes widened, and she slumped listlessly on Kai Ming's back, her face ashen.

"Actually, I didn't want to kill him, but the world is so vast, yet it can't accommodate the two of us." Du Cheng looked at Qin Xiaochuan, who had already lost his life, and a look of pity appeared in his eyes.

The golden giant hand that had bound Qin Xiaochuan vanished, and Qin Xiaochuan plummeted straight down from the sky. Kaiming flew over in time and caught Qin Xiaochuan's body. Guo Shiyi's heart suddenly rekindled with hope, and she quickly hugged Qin Xiaochuan, pouring her remaining spiritual power into his body. However, Qin Xiaochuan had already lost all life force and showed no reaction.

Guo Shiyi held Qin Xiaochuan in her arms, gently closed his eyes, and a tear slid down her cheek, dripping onto Qin Xiaochuan's face.

Du Cheng glanced at Kaiming but ignored it, instead turning his gaze to the crowd in front of the temple. Finally, he fixed his gaze on Gonggong, who was trapped by the golden bell. The two stared at each other across the distance, and a strange smile appeared on Du Cheng's face.

Du Cheng seemed to have no intention of intervening in the battle in front of the temple. Instead, with a wave of his hand, a figure suddenly appeared in the air. Although it was a figure, it had a very unreal and illusory feel to it. It was a very beautiful woman with a face as beautiful as an angel, but her expression was filled with sorrow. She looked at the heartbroken Guo Shiyi with a face full of pity.

Welcome to the fantastical world of fantasy novels. The entrance is here:

Du Cheng gazed intently at the woman's face and murmured, "Lin Xia, do you see? I succeeded. You said this world was a cage, and now I've broken that cage for you. No one in this world can restrict our freedom anymore."

The woman in the air, Lin Xia, seemed not to have heard Du Cheng's words. She stood motionless in mid-air, her expression unchanged.

"Lin Xia, don't worry, I will definitely revive you. When that time comes, you will be absolutely free, able to do whatever you want, and no one will be able to restrain you anymore," Du Cheng continued to say dreamily.

"I don't think she wants to be resurrected by you. Even if she is, she will probably leave you without hesitation," Guo Shiyi said coldly from the side. As she said this, she kept looking at Qin Xiaochuan's face without raising her head.

Du Cheng looked at Guo Shiyi, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, "What do you know? We grew up in an orphanage, relying on each other for survival. We are each other's most trusted people and our deepest bond. For her, I wouldn't care if I were to become enemies with the whole world. How could she bear to leave me?"

Guo Shiyi raised her head, looked directly into Du Cheng's eyes, and slowly said, "You don't understand her at all. What Lin Xia has always wanted is pure freedom, a spiritual freedom from being bound by anyone or anything. But you have imprisoned her soul and deprived her of the spiritual freedom she earned with her life. You have become the source of her pain, and she must hate you very, very much in her heart."

"You're talking nonsense! This is just your wild guess. It's because of him, isn't it!" Du Cheng pointed at Qin Xiaochuan, a cold smile on his face. "I killed him. You must hate me a lot, so you're trying to get revenge on me. Do you think you can sow discord between me and her with just a few words?"

"If that were really the case, you would have killed me long ago." Guo Shiyi's gaze was sharp, as if she could see through people's hearts. "You don't need to argue with me at all. You're not really trying to convince me, you're just trying to convince yourself. You know very well that she has already left you once. What you think is a bond is nothing but a constraint on her, a constraint that she would rather sacrifice her life to break free from!"

Upon hearing Guo Shiyi's words, Du Cheng's eyes widened, and he glared at her angrily, his neck stiff. Although he was trembling with anger, he couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

"Hahaha..." Du Cheng suddenly laughed loudly, and as he laughed, the sky suddenly changed color, lightning flashed and thunder roared, wind rose and clouds surged, making everyone unable to help but look up at him.

After a long while, Du Cheng finally stopped smiling and looked at Guo Shiyi again, but his face was already covered in tears and blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth. Guo Shiyi was stunned when she saw his condition.

"I didn't want to kill you." He looked coldly at Guo Shiyi, panting heavily as if he had just gone through a life-or-death battle, his eyes devoid of any warmth. "But since you've chosen your own death, don't blame me for being impolite." As he spoke, a golden spear once again materialized in his hand.

A cold smile flashed across Guo Shiyi's lips. "I didn't want to live anymore anyway, thank you for granting my wish." After saying that, she looked down at Qin Xiaochuan and gently ran her hand through the hair on his forehead. When she touched Qin Xiaochuan's forehead, her heart suddenly trembled.

The golden spear hurtled towards Guo Shiyi like lightning, and just as it was about to pierce her chest, Qin Xiaochuan suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the spear. The spear shone brightly in his hand, but it could not advance even half a millimeter further, leaving only a piercing popping sound, as if expressing some kind of unwillingness.

"Xiao Chuan, you..." Guo Shiyi said in disbelief. In her tense and trembling heart, Qin Xiao Chuan suddenly opened his eyes. In his eyes, there seemed to be some kind of mysterious law.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Qin Xiaochuan crushed the golden spear in his hand, then gently wiped away the tears in her eyes, and said softly, "From now on, I will never let you worry about me again."
