541: Su Qingge, the Man of Destiny [Blood Vampire], faces his destiny head-on! (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)

Above the vast and boundless ocean, an uninhabited island stood alone like a drop in the sea.

Waves continuously crashed against the reefs, creating a roaring sound.

On the island's shore, a large expanse of shockingly crimson seawater resembled a canvas soaked in blood.

Under the sunlight, the deep red color exuded an eerie and tragic aura.

It was hard to imagine how many lives had been lost here...

"Ahhhhh--"

Suddenly, a shrill scream tore through the sky.

Su Qingge, covered in wounds, stood on the shore like a blood-soaked Valkyrie.

Her eyes were hollow and cold, her hands tightly gripping the neck of a mummified corpse.

The corpse's face was distorted and ferocious, as if recounting its unwillingness and resentment from life.

Crack--

Su Qingge, expressionless, casually tossed the mummified corpse in her hand, and it drifted lightly into the sea like a fallen leaf.

Instantly, the waves churned, pulling the corpse into the endless depths of the ocean, where it vanished...

"Finally... it's over."

Watching the body sink to the bottom of the sea, Su Qingge's heart remained undisturbed.

At this moment, her body was already covered in wounds, blood continuously flowing down and dripping onto the ground, merging with the already dried bloodstains.

Her long hair danced wildly in the sea breeze, like black flames.

Her figure was solitary and resolute, exuding a terrifying and chilling aura.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~

After an unknown amount of time, Su Qingge faced the vast ocean and spoke coldly.

"Give it back to me, give me back the jade pendant."

She turned around, looking at the dark path leading into the forest behind her.

Tap tap tap--

Unhurried footsteps came from the end of the path.

Soon.

The figure of a woman wearing a skull mask quietly appeared in Su Qingge's line of sight...

"You can actually sense my presence? Not bad, it seems I underestimated your growth."

"However, is it really appropriate to use such a commanding tone when speaking to your master?"

"After all, I spent a lot of effort cultivating you. Shouldn't you show me respect?"

...

Compared to before, 'Nightmare's' tone clearly held a few more hints of ease and appreciation, seemingly very satisfied with Su Qingge's current appearance.

"Give it back to me, I told you to give me back the jade pendant."

Su Qingge's eyes grew colder, repeating herself, her gaze towards 'Nightmare' filled with killing intent.

During the previous battle, this woman had suddenly appeared and, using some unknown method, snatched the jade pendant Lin Xuan had given her.

Although she didn't understand why the other party wanted the jade pendant.

It didn't affect Su Qingge's determination to get it back.

Lin Xuan had said that the jade pendant was left by his mother before she passed away, a symbol of the Lin family's daughter-in-law.

Just for this reason, Su Qingge would never allow the jade pendant to be lost from her hands...

"Oh, you mean this thing!"

"Don't worry! I'm not interested in it, but to avoid affecting the plan, I can only temporarily seal it into an ordinary jade pendant."

"Otherwise, as soon as you encounter danger, the thing inside him will sense it. Now is not the time..."

...

'Nightmare' spread her palm, and a dark green jade pendant lay quietly within it.

Before she could finish speaking, Su Qingge's killing intent surged, and she launched an attack without hesitation.

She was powerful enough now.

If possible, she wanted to try and kill her so-called "master" here.

[Blood Ghost Art! Flying Blade Blood Scythe!]

Attack method reference image! Is it rigorous?! ─━ _ ─━ ✧

Su Qingge's eyes instantly turned crimson, and a dense, scarlet blood energy erupted from her body as she swung her hands in a slashing motion.

Dozens of blood slashes, shaped like thin blades, fiercely struck towards 'Nightmare'.

As the Blood Demon Scripture cultivation deepened, Su Qingge was already able to make her blood leave her body and manipulate her own blood to perform various incredible attacks.

For example, she could transform her own fresh blood into razor-thin blades and launch them, with the blades also carrying Blood Gu, which would be fatal to ordinary people upon contact.

Su Qingge originally thought that with this move, even if she couldn't defeat 'Nightmare', she could at least make her retreat.

One must know that in the past, Su Qingge felt utterly powerless in front of the other party.

Now, she finally had the qualifications to contend with 'Nightmare'.

Unfortunately, the idea was beautiful, but reality was harsh.

The dozens of blood slashes, powerful enough to split mountains and rocks, were all blocked by an invisible barrier as soon as they approached 'Nightmare' within a meter, not even forcing her to take a single step back.

How could this be?!

Su Qingge's pupils suddenly contracted; she was clearly completely stunned by the scene before her, and her expression instantly turned grim.

She knew there was a gap between herself and 'Nightmare', but who would have thought this gap would be like a chasm? Standing before the other party, she felt an extremely weak and powerless sense of frustration.

Could her so-called master be a realm above Grandmaster?

...

"Not bad! The Grandmaster Minor Accomplishment realm!"

"But the power of your recent slash is already enough to rival a Grandmaster Peak. Even in front of a Grandmaster Great Perfection, you would have the power to protect yourself and retreat safely."

"Compared to that failure Jiang Yangping, your potential and adaptability are far superior."

"However, if you want to kill me, that's still far from enough. I'll wait for you to grow to the point where you can kill me..."

...

'Nightmare' tossed the jade pendant to Su Qingge, who immediately reached out and caught it.

After checking it was intact, she treated it as a treasure, carefully putting it back around her neck.

Immediately after, she coldly looked at her master not far away and asked the many confusions that had long been in her heart.

"Who exactly are you?"

"Why did you choose me of all people?"

"Are the murderers of my parents really from that family? And why would they harm my family?"

...

Facing Su Qingge's barrage of questions, 'Nightmare' remained silent, looking up at the sky, and after a long time, she murmured two words:

[Destiny].

"What I can tell you now is that everything is related to Destiny."

"Whether it's your misfortune or the coming turmoil of this world, it will never end until the final Person of Destiny is chosen..."

Su Qingge frowned, her face full of confusion.

The other party's answer not only didn't resolve her confusion but made her even more bewildered.

"Don't be lost. After you go back, what you need to do... is to kill the other six Persons of Destiny besides yourself, absorb the Destiny within them, and become the true Destiny."

"At that time, you will know everything. Of course, I know you don't trust me..."

"But that's not important. From the moment you became the ultimate winner of this Blood Gu trial, you are already the Person of Destiny representing the Blood Ghost."

"Even if you do nothing, the other six Persons of Destiny - 'Smiling Nightmare', 'Disease Bringer', 'Evergreen' - they... will also come looking for you in order to compete for that sole Destiny."

"At that time, it won't just be you who's in danger..."

"Now, you have no choice! The only thing you can do is face Destiny!"
