That's What Villains Are Like

Dark clouds piled up, rain poured down, and thunder roared.

Under the dark night sky, thunder struck from time to time, illuminating the mountain cliff brightly.

Accompanied by a popping sound, it was like a sharp blade easily cutting through the fabric.

A piece of crystal-clear hot blood just spurted out, drowning in Jiang Ruxian's eyes, causing her vision to be occupied by a bright red, making it blurry and bright red.

She seemed to be back in the courtyard where the fiery red maple leaves were falling in the wind.

But it was she who took action at that time, piercing the heart of the young man in white, and hot blood splashed all over her dress and hands.

She fled in a panic and hastily, and when she finally turned back, the boy in white behind her slowly fell to the ground, and blood was like an unstoppable stream, winding under him.

So shocking.

And tonight, with the rain falling like a torrent, a similar scene happened again.

The only difference is that Jiang Lan was the one who took action.

His expression was extremely calm, as if he couldn't feel the pain. The rusty ancient sword in his hand, lingering with sword energy, easily cut through his coat and penetrated the wound on his chest.

This is the wound she left on Jiang Lan.

Now the wound is constantly expanding. As the ancient sword passes through it, the colorful haze shines through, and the spiritual energy and spiritual charm are constantly surging, blazing and dazzling.

But what’s more, the hot blood spurts out violently, and it can’t stop flowing down. With the heavy rain, the surrounding soil is soaked in bright red...

"No……"

Seeing this scene, Jiang Ruxian's pupils trembled, her beautiful eyes widened, and her voice became hoarse because she was too anxious.

"No...don't be like this..."

Her voice was trembling and she was choked with sobs. Her eyes were blurry with tears. Regardless of her inability to use any cultivation at the moment, she rushed forward and grabbed his hand with both hands to prevent him from continuing to stab himself.

Jiang Lan still looked at Jiang Rushian calmly, his eyes as indifferent as abyss, as if he couldn't feel any pain.

"All the grudges are because of this exquisite immortal heart with seven orifices."

"This exquisite immortal heart with seven orifices originally belonged to you. After tonight, it will be returned to its original owner."

"From now on, there will be no relationship between you and me..."

There was no change in his tone, and he was still pushing forward unhurriedly with one hand as before.

Jiang Ruxian, who was unable to use his cultivation at this moment, could not resist at all. He was pushed away by a majestic force and fell to the ground full of blood and mud.

But despite this, she still struggled to stand up, and at the same time used all the strength she could use to stop Jiang Lan.

She finally understood why Jiang Lan secretly used the Soft Soul Transformation Powder, and he expected that she would definitely stop him and prevent him from digging into his heart.

He didn't want to kill himself at all, he just wanted to return the fairy heart to himself, and from now on, cut off the last remaining relationship between the two of them.

The emotions Jiang Ruxian had been accumulating all this time finally seemed to burst at this moment, and she could no longer bear it.

"don't want……"

"I don't want you to give me your heart back..."

"Don't be like this... okay..."

"Without your heart, how will you survive in the future? Alan, please don't hurt yourself again."

"No matter how you treat me, how you hate me, how you punish me, I beg you..."

She stretched out her hand to stop Jiang Lan, but was suppressed by the invisible force and could not move forward even half a step.

In front of her, the blood was bright red and dazzling. On the white clothes that were not stained by dust, it seemed like a coquettish flower bloomed.

Her voice was choked and trembling, and the blood spilled on her face mixed with the heavy rain and tears, blurring her vision.

Jiang Lan remained silent, the wound cut by the Ancient Sword of Eternal Calamity was expanding, becoming more and more dazzling, with light like a bright red blood diamond shining out.

The beating seven-orificed exquisite immortal heart, gushing with colorful rays of light, emerged from the wound.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this area is constantly gathering as it beats.

His face is also becoming paler, and all the blood is disappearing as the connection between the immortal heart and the body is severed.

At this moment, Jiang Lan could no longer feel the feeling of blood connection with Jiang Rushian in front of him.

To him, it was as if some long-held shackles were loosening.

The heavy rain became more and more majestic, pouring down like a corner of the Tianhe River bursting its banks, and one murky stream after another began to gather under the cliff.

A bolt of lightning pierced the night sky and exploded in the distance.

"Why is it like this..."

Jiang Rushian seemed to be stunned, just watching Jiang Lan continue to dig with the Ancient Sword of Eternal Tribulation.

In the wound full of blood, the exquisite immortal heart with seven orifices beats like a drum, containing the surging breath of life.

But as the connection between Jiang Lan and Xian Xin dissipated.

She could no longer feel the breath coming from Jiang Lan, she could no longer hear his heartbeat, and she could no longer feel his emotions...

She stretched out her hand to touch her heart, and it felt empty for an instant, as if something extremely precious had left forever from today on.

Then the heart-breaking pain that was about to suffocate spread from there.

"Alan..."

Jiang Ruxian burst into tears, raised her face, and let the rain wash down her hair, soaking her hair all over and sticking to her flawless face.

At this moment, she was no longer the fairy who stood proudly on the top of the world in her previous life, overlooking all living beings, but a weak woman who was at a loss and full of desolation and pain.

"I don't owe you anything anymore."

Although Jiang Lan's face was pale, his tone remained calm.

As the wound expanded to the extreme, he abandoned the Ancient Sword of Eternal Tribulation and reached out to pull it out.

The mana glow shimmered on the hand, and then spread to the seven-orificed exquisite immortal heart.

Then Jiang Lan pulled hard, and a spring of blood spurted out, and in his hand, the fairy heart was full of surging fairy clouds and mysterious, still beating freshly.

As the immortal heart left the body, all the blood on Jiang Lan's face quickly disappeared, and the breath of life continued to decline.

But his face and expression did not change at all from beginning to end.

This kind of pain that ordinary people can't bear is like a daily occurrence compared with the "heart-eating disease" in the past.

At least in his opinion, everything he did tonight was worth it, and the pain was nothing.

"You never owed me anything..."

Jiang Ruxian's face was pale, and he looked at the beating fairy heart bitterly.

This was the fairy heart that once belonged to her. The root of the fairy heart that she had tried so hard to get back in her previous life was now right in front of her.

But now she has no intention of taking over. There is only endless pain and regret in her heart.

She didn't want this fairy heart at all, and she never wanted Jiang Lan to poach it and give it back to her.

But Jiang Lan's words just now made her understand... In the future he saw, she had indeed broken his heart. He was so dejected because of his misunderstanding and hurt during his lifetime, and he still had no peace after his death. .

Jiang Ruxian himself didn't want to think about the paranoid things he did in his previous life.

When Jiang Lan mentioned it just now, he would be so calm and calm without killing her. That was already a great act of gentleness and kindness...

He would dig out his heart and give it back to him, not wanting to have anything to do with him anymore. Jiang Rushian could actually understand. After all, the memories she brought to Jiang Lan were all pain and despair.

"sorry……"

Jiang Ruxian murmured, stood up, and wanted to go forward and support Jiang Lan.

However, Jiang Lan just kept handing the fairy heart back to her, looked at her calmly, and did not let her get closer.

"Don't be brave...swallow the healing elixir quickly."

Jiang Ruxian hid all the bitterness in her heart, took the fairy heart he handed over with trembling hands, and spoke as gently as possible.

Jiang Lan just nodded calmly and said, "Yes."

Seeing Jiang Lan turn around and leave without any hesitation, without even looking at himself.

Jiang Ruxian held the fairy heart that was still warm from his body, but he couldn't help but feel a sore nose, and endless sourness and sadness came over him.

Fortunately, it was raining heavily and my face was wet, and no one could tell whether it was tears or rain.

She wanted to ask to stay, but she didn't know how to ask, let alone what qualifications she had now.

The effectiveness of Soft Soul Transformation Powder did not last long, when Jiang Lan's slightly staggering figure disappeared into the dense rain curtain and deep forest.

Jiang Ruxian had recovered her cultivation. She stood there for a long time, letting the heavy rain soak her whole body, and did not use magic to stop it.

It wasn't until a thunder sounded in the distance that her mood returned a little.

She looked at the immortal heart that was still beating alive in her hand, and used her methods to gather the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and then refined a crystal-clear source of Taoism, sealing the immortal heart in it like a treasure.

When she returned to the ruined temple on the barren mountain, Mrs. Liu was still waiting for her anxiously by the campfire.

However, Jiang Rushian did not respond to Liu's inquiry.

She used magic power to steam dry all the clothes on her body, and then sat in front of the bonfire, hugging her knees, her shiny black hair hanging down, her eyes looking at the bonfire aimlessly, as if she had returned, but her soul was still outside. .

"Miss Ruxian, what happened?" Mrs. Liu looked at her worriedly.

Jiang Rushian didn't seem to hear. He sat there blankly like a clay sculpture, his pupils reflecting the bonfire in a daze.

At this moment, there is no fairy mist covering her body anymore, she is like a fairy who has been banished to the mortal world. Her beautiful and picturesque face is too white and crystal clear, but her reddish eye sockets can be seen.

Mrs. Liu didn't know what happened, and she didn't know how to comfort her. She just kept sighing.

Jiang Ruxian still ignored it.

However, when she heard a few questions asked by Mrs. Liu, her eyes moved and she seemed a little more angry.

"Miss Ruxian, did the person who attacked us just now come from the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"What you said outside the temple just now, did you mean that the people who killed me in Guangyuan City that day were sent by Master Lan?"

Jiang Rushian turned his head and looked at Mrs. Liu who was asking about him, and then seemed to feel something. There seemed to be a sudden anger in his originally calm and cold eyes.

She just raised her hand and waved it towards somewhere outside the temple. Suddenly, a piece of void invisible to ordinary people made a loud roar.

Accompanied by some kind of broken clicking sound and muffled groan, the figure hidden inside trembled and fled away in an instant, leaving only a mouthful of blood spurting out on the spot.

"This is……"

Ms. Liu was shocked and surprised.

And Jiang Ruxian just said two words with a slight chill, "Royal family."

When she was first outside the temple, she was intercepted and ambushed. She thought it was because of Liu's presence that her whereabouts were leaked.

Combined with the fact that Jiang Lan sent the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion to take action, she immediately guessed that Jiang Lan had sent people to kill Liu.

Once Mrs. Liu dies, even fewer people will know the truth about what happened back then.

She thought that Jiang Lan hated her too much. After his rebirth, he became unscrupulous and wanted to get rid of everyone related to what happened back then... Jiang Lan didn't want her to know the truth about that year.

Perhaps in this case, he would feel more at ease by taking revenge on himself.

but……

After what happened tonight, Jiang Rushian found that she was still wrong. She had misunderstood Jiang Lan too deeply.

Even if he knew what was going to happen in the future, even if he hated himself so much, he never thought of killing himself.

"Since he knows what will happen in the future, he must also know my current cultivation strength..."

"But the most powerful disciples he dispatched are only at the Seventh Realm level."

"These people can't hurt me at all. He returned his Immortal Heart to me, broke off the relationship with me, and sent people to intercept and kill me. He just didn't want me to set foot in Jingyang City, the imperial capital."

Jiang Rushian understood Jiang Lan's approach at this moment.

He was caught between the Prime Minister's Mansion and himself. In fact, he felt helpless and had no choice. On one side were his parents who gave birth to him and raised him, and on the other side... himself.

What can he do to achieve both? He actually had no choice at all.

The Great Xia Southern Hunting Exercise is about to begin. Once he sets foot in the imperial capital, given the hostility of Jiang Lintian and Li Qingshu towards him, he will definitely take action himself.

What will the royal family do then? In order to take the overall situation into consideration, he would definitely use a large formation to trap himself.

"People from the royal family have been involved with A Lan for some time. They have been secretly peeking just now. If I hadn't been distracted, how could I not have noticed."

Jiang Ruxian's mood became a little calmer and more settled.

She always believed that Jiang Lan still had a deep affection for her, but she hurt him too deeply in her last life, making him avoid her in this life.

Otherwise, why on the cliff, when I met him, could I feel the pain, helplessness and powerlessness in his heart...

"If he knew that I actually came back from the future to the present and had already experienced the things he said in my previous life, he would probably hate me even more..."

"The best way to get Alan to accept me again is to make him understand that the dream he had was just a dream, not the real future."

Many thoughts passed through Jiang Ruxian's mind, and his mood was no longer as depressed as before.

In her previous life, she was able to stand on the top of the mountain and overlook the world because of her determination and perseverance after deciding on one thing.

…

At this time, on the other side, on a famous mountain, the dark clouds dispersed, the heavy rain stopped, the night sky was dotted with stars, the air was fresh, and it looked particularly clear.

All the guests and worshipers from the Prime Minister's Mansion are waiting here. They all have colorful decorations on their bodies, but they are not fatally injured. They will just need to rest for a while.

Jiang Lan's face was still a little pale, but it was not conspicuous.

He has changed into a black robe, and the wound on his chest has recovered as before. Although he has lost the exquisite immortal heart with seven orifices, there is a blazing light like a phoenix fire wrapped in it at the moment, nurturing a new heart. The majestic and rich breath of life permeates the air.

In addition, the luck churning in Niwan Palace far exceeds any previous moment.

The richness of luck in Jiang Ruxian's body was far inferior to that of Lin Fan, the original protagonist of this world.

Jiang Lan was actually trying to find out Jiang Rushian's fate just now, but failed. Like Emperor Xia, her cultivation strength was far superior to his now. Her luck was so strong that it evaporated like mist, covering everything, making it difficult to see her fate.

However, when he came into contact with Jiang Rushian just now, he discovered something abnormal.

There was an unexpected change in his age, and Jiang Rushian's body was lingering with the aura of some fragments of time.

It was precisely because of this unexpected discovery that Jiang Lan deliberately mentioned the same rhetoric in front of his parents in front of Jiang Rushian.

Judging from some changes in his expression, Jiang Lan also had some subtle guesses in his mind...

But whether it is true or false can only be seen from subsequent contacts.

At least tonight's testing and actions made him feel that it was worthwhile. He not only understood Jiang Rushian's current attitude towards him, but also successfully resolved some troubles that he might encounter in the future.

Jiang Ruxian would not hurt him, but felt deeply guilty and indebted to him because of the original misunderstandings.

Although the relationship between Xiang Guofu and Jiang Ruxian is still hostile, they will not immediately go to war with each other...

"From now on, it is better to be a stranger than an enemy. It is also good for her. At least she should experience those desperate feelings of despair..."

Jiang Lan gently touched his heart. Logically speaking, the Exquisite Immortal Heart with Seven Apertures had been returned to Jiang Rushian, but why were there still those emotions and feelings left behind in his heart?

Did he really inherit and fuse the original memories, or did the original memories contain more emotions from the future?

Zhuang Zhou Mengdie? Did the butterfly become Zhuang Zhou, or did Zhuang Zhou become the butterfly?

Shaking his head, Jiang Lan didn't think much about this matter.

"I'm sorry to help you with tonight's matter, but please be sure to keep your mouth shut."

"After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, my father will prepare some rewards for you for today's events. I hope you will not refuse when the time comes."

Jiang Lan looked at the worshipers and diners here.

Several of them were seriously injured, but Jiang Rushian had already spared his efforts. Compared with the many gains tonight, this small loss of internal friction was completely negligible in his opinion.

"Thank you, sir."

After hearing this, all the worshipers bowed their hands and thanked him, and did not ask any more questions about Jiang Ruxian.

As for what happened between Jiang Rushian and Jiang Lan later, they didn't know.

Mr. Chu, Taoist Qingxu, and Jiang Crocodile still had lingering fears about Jiang Rushian's terrifying strength. At that time, they were a little worried when they saw her knocking several people away and going to find Jiang Lan alone. However, they later realized that their worries were unnecessary. of……

Buzz! ! !

At this time, the void in front of everyone suddenly trembled slightly, and ripples spread from it.

Then a crack opened, and a huge figure flashed through it. A figure as tall and ferocious as a dragon was faintly visible, with thick scales and a cold, bloodthirsty light.

A middle-aged man with horns on his head, wearing a gray ink robe, and whose face was vaguely similar to Jiang Lan's father, appeared here with a domineering aura that suppressed the starry sky.

"Uncle Jiao..."

Jiang Lan looked at this person and said.

This man's name was Jiang Jiao, and he was his father's mount back then. It was an evil dragon with three heads and the blood of a true dragon that returned to his ancestors.

He has been practicing in the Blue Dragon Pool deep in the Prime Minister's Mansion all year round. He is very powerful and has almost reached the eighth realm.

He dared to test Jiang Rushian like this tonight, except knowing that she would not kill him.

Another source of support and confidence is that his father will not let him take risks and will definitely call Uncle Jiao secretly to protect him.

"It's good that the young master is fine. The emperor's capital is not at peace tonight. Yesterday, many powerful families were trying to test him, but I got rid of all the spies on the road." Jiang Jiao said.

Jiang Lan nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Uncle Jiao. The matter on my side has almost been resolved. I can return to the imperial capital."

Jiang Jiao nodded, glanced at the worshipers here, and then took action directly, opening a crack in the void.

This is one of his talents, which can stabilize the turbulent flow of wind and carry people through quickly.

And at this moment.

Jingyang City, the imperial capital.

Deep inside the palace, inside the Chengming Hall.

Emperor Xia was sitting on the dragon chair. The simple and misty Mother Mirror in front of him suddenly shattered with a click. In the last picture, there was a pair of beautiful eyes with a cold air.

The figure seemed to look at her through the Mother Mirror, and then the other person's face was obscured by the mist and quickly disappeared.

Emperor Xia was very interested, not afraid at all, and looked at the Sky Monitoring Mirror at the moment it shattered.

"But I have to admit that this is a terrifying perception. It is worthy of being an existence above the eighth realm..."

"Even the Prime Minister's Office probably won't be able to deal with this person."

"But it was a good show for me. Although the picture was blurry and not very clear, I could vaguely guess some of the truth."

But then, Emperor Xia rubbed the broken mirror, his mind gradually became churning, and his eyes became a little deeper.

Although Xia Zhu's talent was good, he did not dare to get too close in front of such a strong person, so he could only hide in the distance, use secret techniques to peek at what happened, and then transmit it back to the Heaven Supervising Mother Mirror.

The heavy rain and the roar of thunder made the scene blurry and difficult to see clearly, and it was even more difficult to hear the voices of people talking.

Emperor Xia, who was originally curious about Jiang Lan's secrets, had no choice.

But through some of the actions between the mysterious woman in white and Jiang Lan, some problems can also be seen.

The woman in white, who is Jiang Lan's sister, is full of hatred for the Prime Minister's Mansion, but also full of guilt for Jiang Lan. Has she ever done something to hurt him?

"Gear out the heart to return it to my sister? Could it be that the Prime Minister's Office had dug out the heart of the woman in white and transplanted it into Jiang Lan's body?"

"Is this also the reason why Jiang Lan lost all his cultivation?"
