I was killed by my relatives, and I am reborn to be ruthless.

"Second brother, you still want to stop me?"

He Lian'er raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of her mouth, her eyes full of disdain as she glanced at He Tianhong, as if he was just an insignificant obstacle.

There was a hint of provocation and complacency in her voice, as if she had the entire situation under control.

At the same time, she slowly and smoothly took out a stack of carefully prepared talismans from her underwear.

The talismans flickered ominously in the dim light, as complex and dark as her mood at the moment.

She gently shook the talismans, each of which seemed to be a chess piece in her carefully laid out chess game, and said arrogantly and confidently: "If it weren't for these precious talismans of yours, I might still hesitate and have concerns. But who made you, my dear brother, give them to me so generously? This love has now become my weapon to fight back, which is extremely ironic."

Upon hearing this, He Tianhong's face instantly turned ashen and his chest heaved violently, as if a surge of anger was about to burst out.

He stared at He Lian'er, his eyes filled with shock and pain, but more of regret for his past behavior.

Those gifts that he once regarded as the love between brothers and sisters were now like sharp blades, cutting into his heart one by one.

"He Lian'er, when did you become like this? Where did that innocent, kind, well-behaved and sensible sister go? Are you still the He Lian'er that I love so much and am willing to do everything to protect?"

He Tianhong's voice trembled, carrying unspeakable sadness and despair.

He could not accept the reality before him, and was even more unwilling to believe that the sister who once warmed his heart had now become so strange and cold.

The air around them seemed to freeze, leaving only the heavy breathing of the two people and the occasional sound of wind in the distance.

At this moment, all the grudges, love and hate are gathered in this small space, making people feel suffocated.

He Lian'er just looked at He Tianhong coldly, without any regret or tenderness in her eyes, only infinite desire for the future and complete rejection of the status quo.

"There is no such thing as being well-behaved and sensible. Those are all lies I made up!"

He Lian'er's voice suddenly became sharp and cold, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting He Tianhong's heart hard.

Her expression was distorted, and her eyes flashed with madness and determination, as if she wanted to pour out all the resentment that had been pent up over the years at once.

"None of you would have thought that I am actually a natural actor. From the moment I was born and could speak, I have already started my performance on the stage. I try my best to please you, using an innocent smile and well-behaved and sensible behavior, just to gain your trust and love for me, so that you will willingly provide me with the resources needed for cultivation."

He Tianhong widened his eyes and looked at the girl in disbelief, who was once familiar yet strange.

Every word she said was like a sharp knife, cutting through all the beautiful memories of family affection in his heart. He felt dizzy and his mind was blank, as if the whole world collapsed at this moment.

"I've been acting since I was born..." He Tianhong muttered to himself, his voice full of shock and despair.

He couldn't imagine that the little sister who used to snuggle in his arms and act like a spoiled child was actually such a deep and complex existence. Her smile, her tears, everything about her were actually just a performance she carefully designed to achieve her goal.

At this moment, He Tianhong felt as if he was pushed into an endless abyss, surrounded by cold darkness and biting cold wind. He didn't know how to face this fact, let alone how to continue to get along with He Lian'er.

He felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and the pain was so severe that he could hardly breathe.

He Lian'er looked down at He Tianhong, who was on the verge of collapse, with an almost contemptuous look, her eyes revealing disdain for the weak and pride in self-victory.

The corners of her mouth curled up into a cold smile, as if she was enjoying the superiority, and she said slowly: "He Tianhong, considering that we are siblings, I will be merciful today and spare your life. However, you must remember that there is no second chance of forgiveness in this world. If I see you again next time, even if I am a god, I will not be able to save you!"

There was an unquestionable determination in his words.

After saying this, she turned around lightly, with a bit of disdain and confidence in her steps, and walked away leisurely in the opposite direction of the cave. Her back seemed both lonely and resolute.

He Lian'er thought to herself that since He Tianhong could find this place, the other pursuers might not be far away, so she had to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

However, just when she thought that He Tianhong had completely lost the power to resist and safety was a foregone conclusion, an accident happened quietly.

He Tianhong was seen, although his body was shaking, there was an unyielding light in his eyes.

He gritted his teeth and stood up slowly with amazing willpower. His tenacity was touching. At the moment when He Lian'er was not paying attention, he quickly and accurately released his carefully improved new spell - a spell that combined the essence of He Rong'er's blasting spell, but was more concealed and powerful.

Since he couldn't make He Lian'er go back with him willingly, he could only temporarily make her lose her ability to resist.

The talisman flew out of his hand, turned into a stream of light, and went silently straight to the back of He Lian'er.

This sudden change shocked He Lian'er. She turned around abruptly, her eyes full of disbelief and fear.

At the critical moment, she instinctively wanted to take refuge with the jade pendant she carried with her, but she found that although her mind moved, her body did not move at all. In an instant, she suddenly realized that the life-saving jade pendant had been lost on the way to escape.

In this moment of stunnedness, the talisman had turned into an invisible blade, silently penetrating her defense and piercing her back.

An unprecedented strange force raged in her body, making He Lian'er's face pale as paper in an instant. She felt an unprecedented threat and fear.

At this moment, all her pride and contempt were replaced by anger and murderous intent. The hatred in her heart for He Tianhong spread like wildfire, and she vowed to make him pay a heavy price.

He Lian'er's mind moved suddenly. Before she fell, she threw a soul-capturing talisman at He Tianhong, then quickly dodged and hid in the dense forest.

He Tianhong didn't expect that He Lian'er would use such a method of soul-stealing on him. He looked at the familiar talisman flying towards him, and his heart was filled with despair.

He spent a long time studying this soul-stealing talisman before drawing it. Once it is sent out, it cannot be taken back, and it will instantly absorb the opponent's soul, turning the opponent into a "living dead".

He could already foresee his bleak future at this point.
