Chapter 583: Chapter 583

Gu Jianlin looked up at the girl under the moonlight. His thoughts, as sharp and meticulous as ever, connected the so-called Destiny Reflection with everything happening before him. He quickly understood what was going on.

He blocked the girl beside him and lifted his head, saying, "The Red King, Moon Princess?"

Su Youzhu, however, didn't want to bother with the details—she just wanted to kill this detestable imposter.

To steal someone else's prey midway—nothing could be more infuriating.

"Of course, I am the second Red King, the true tyrant! The entire Dark World kneels at my feet. Whatever I want, I take. No one can stop me. I am far stronger than the woman at your side,"

The Moon Princess sneered disdainfully, "Nine whole years, and you still can't secure one man? Perhaps it's time to let me take over!"

Su Youzhu more or less understood then. Her gaze lifted solemnly, and she asked seriously, "Will the future me still like the man beside me this much? Even if I can become a Catastrophe?"

She raised her jade-like fingers and pointed toward a boy standing nearby.

Gu Jianlin hadn't expected that this would be the question on her mind.

"Of course. But you're completely clueless about how to captivate a man. Why not let your consciousness remain here and leave your future self to me? I am your Destiny Reflection. I can break the Jiang Family's fate, prevent the tragedies of the future, and save you from watching your beloved endure so much suffering."

The Moon Princess spoke calmly, "And most importantly, you won't lose him in the end!"

Hearing this, Su Youzhu froze, her eyes fixed on the boy.

Gu Jianlin, however, maintained his composure, holding her hand tightly as he softly said, "Don't worry. Let her finish."

The two of them were both extraordinarily sharp.

What the Moon Princess suggested didn't seem to be referring to emotional separation.

But rather, a parting of life and death.

Judging by her words, his future didn't look promising.

But truthfully, ever since that car accident, he'd already suspected his future might be riddled with scars.

"What will the future hold?"

The siblings practically asked in unison.

On the ancient stone pillar, the Moon Princess's eerie vertical pupils flickered with a trace of confusion. She answered coldly, "I can't see clearly. As a Destiny Reflection, I lack the ability to perceive such a vivid future."

Whether due to some disruption in the rules of this place, she instinctively clutched her forehead and murmured, "Body fat too low… couldn't conceive?... Watch out for the parents discovering!... That rental place… Oh, spirituality fusion ritual… Beware the Candle Dragon; she's always watching. Vermilion Bird, Vermilion Bird, Vermilion Bird… this is the ultimate fear."

A monumental killing intent surged forth like a tidal wave, her power spiraling out of control and spreading wide!

Gu Jianlin's mind buzzed as he processed her cryptic words.

Su Youzhu's little cowlick was ruffled by the wind, and her pale face flushed a deep red hue, as if about to spill blood.

She'd heard just the first couple of phrases before feeling like she was struck by lightning.

After that, she couldn't even begin to comprehend the rest.

For a fleeting moment, time and space fell into a swamp-like silence.

"Be careful, she's coming!"

Gu Jianlin roared as shadows silently emerged behind him, instantly activating his Evolutionary State!

The shadow unsheathed its blade without hesitation. Jiuyin reverberated with a joyous hum, its blood-red blade radiating thick ghost energy. The ancient Blade Technique Extreme Intent spread around them, like the descent of an Ancient soul—domineering and unparalleled!

A Combined Skill was on the verge of erupting.

Against even a weakened version of a Catastrophe, they had to go all out.

Alongside the blade's vibrating resonance, vermillion Dragon Horns sprouted atop Su Youzhu's head. Her enchanting eyes glowed with an eerie blood-red light, her spirituality boiling fiercely as she, too, prepared her Combined Skill!

In battles along the Ghost Slayer Path, victories were often decided in mere moments.

Killing intent surged wildly, blade met blade, and it all ended in a flash.

It wasn't just about power.

It was about intent to kill, and the courage to act.

"Good, that's exactly the spirit!"

The Moon Princess said indifferently.

No earth-shaking explosions followed—only cherry blossom petals scattered like snow, swept away by the roaring wind.

A streak of crimson flashed briefly—like lightning slicing through the stillness of the night—splitting the silence apart, tearing through the air, leaving a massive fracture in the Void that echoed thunderously!

Time and space solidified, yet the dragon-like blade's hum reverberated through the stillness.

No one knew what power she had unleashed.

Though her Rank remained within the bounds of the Fifth Rank, her methods were of Catastrophe Level.

As though stopping all foes who stood in her path!

Under these circumstances, Gu Jianlin could no longer hold back. His shadow flickered into the void, the isolated and annihilating blade seemingly slicing through time, leaving a chillingly brilliant scar in the darkness!

A single snap—it was the sound of a blade breaking!

The shadow was suddenly severed in two, and the black large sword shattered in response, the invincible Sword Force crumbling apart!

Like lightning, Su Youzhu dashed forward, her trembling blade reflecting an unbearably bright light. In one stroke, she struck downward!

The stillness of time shattered like a mirror, the sound of flesh and bone tearing resounding horrifyingly! The most update n0vels are published on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝕟𝕖𝕥

Blood splattered across the night sky.

The Moon Princess fell behind them like a tattered silhouette. Her black Demon Extinguishing Blade lay in fragmented pieces, leaving only the desolate hilt in her palm. A gruesome slash cut through her body, blood gushing like a waterfall. Even the mask on her face had shattered.

This was only a Destiny Reflection, not a true Catastrophe-level being.

Its power, though formidable, was merely a facade.

In a one-on-one fight, the siblings had no chance.

But two-on-one? Exploitable weaknesses emerged.

Gu Jianlin silently endured the shadow's collapse, then caught the falling Jiuyin and carefully sheathed it back.

He exhaled a breath of stale air from his chest.

Just a moment ago, his true body had been prepared for a sacrificial strike. Thankfully, they had won in the end.

Su Youzhu flicked her blade, pouting, "If you hadn't shattered her blade, the one dead might've been me."

As the blood splattered, the Moon Princess's mask crumbled into flecks of crimson light. Looking up at the night sky, she surprisingly let out a soft laugh. "Well done. When you return, make sure to properly learn how to keep a man's heart. And if all else fails—just take him by force. Once you've consummated, he'll have no choice but to take responsibility..."

She paused briefly and added, "Being tsundere is out of style these days."

With a bang, she dissolved into a flurry of cherry blossoms, drifting away into the night.

A breathtakingly beautiful sight.

Su Youzhu stood silently amidst the shower of sakura petals, listening to her words, lost in thought.

Gu Jianlin had a fair idea now—this was a rule of Penglai Fairy Island. You'd encounter your Destiny Reflection, while also receiving vital information, though there was a simultaneous risk of getting killed.

The Ancient God Clan was undoubtedly the clan of fate.

Indeed, that wasn't a lie.

"Looks like the future you have a high likelihood of becoming a Catastrophe."

A clever way to shift the topic.

Su Youzhu was still a bit flustered; the impact of those words earlier had been too strong.

Particularly the first line.

Her cheeks burned hot, and then all at once, she heard ancient murmurs ringing in her ears.

Gu Jianlin quickly stepped forward and steadied her by the shoulders.

"I'm fine, but I heard the voice calling for help again. It says congratulations on passing the trial,"

Su Youzhu replied softly, her eyes clouded in confusion. "It says I'm the second person to overcome my Destiny Reflection, and that I qualify to save it from here. It will continue guiding me."

For a moment, her petite figure tensed, and she shuddered ever so slightly.

Gu Jianlin rarely saw her so unnerved. His brow furrowed as he asked, "What else did it say?"

Su Youzhu lifted her gaze, her eyes filled with shock. "It said its name was Xu Fu..."
