"Do you know what it means when villains die from talking too much? I've noticed you're quite a chatterbox. I haven't asked anything, yet here you are, spilling your entire plan. Are you that eager for everyone to know you want to resurrect the Blood Demon?"
"Hmph, why hide anything from a dead man?"
Gu Qingfeng shook his head and sighed, "Ah, you really are an idiot. No wonder you're number three."
These words instantly broke through the Mirror Demon's composure, immediately agitating him.
"I'm number two! Number two! Die, you worthless insect!" The Mirror Demon roared, immediately unleashing the Single Character Sun-Scorching Sword, its pale white line viciously slashing at Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Qingfeng's eyes lit up. After all that talking, finally some action! He'd been waiting impatiently for this.
This one sword strike would determine whether he could break through the Vajra Body's limits!
Gu Qingfeng quickly suppressed his fire control talent, preventing it from protecting him, deliberately taking the full force of the sword strike.
Bang!
A violent explosion erupted from Gu Qingfeng's body.
Ding!
[Host received Mirror Demon's attack, Defense +1000]
Ding!
[Congratulations, host's defense has broken through the limit, Vajra Body has evolved into the Indestructible Vajra Body]
As the system's cold voice rang out, Gu Qingfeng's body suddenly burst forth with a dazzling golden light.
He seemed to transform into a golden being, his entire body gleaming like molten gold, radiating brilliant light!
The Mirror Demon stared in shock at the scene before him, not understanding what had happened.
The Single Character Sun-Scorching Sword had destroyed the Green Wood Dragon Prison, and Gu Qingfeng took the opportunity to stretch his body leisurely.
This feeling of power was incredible!
Indestructible Vajra Body!
Gu Qingfeng could clearly feel just how powerful his body's defense had become. He could now say without exaggeration that anyone below the Grandmaster level was nothing but an insect!
Warriors below the Grandmaster level couldn't harm a single hair on his body, and even Grandmaster-level experts would need to try their hardest to have any hope of breaking through his defense.
"Hey, don't just stand there, come at me again."
The Mirror Demon froze, not responding.
"Number three?"
"Aaaaah! I'll kill you!" The Mirror Demon instantly lost his mind with rage, frantically swinging the Wood King Sword.
One sword energy! Two sword energies! Three sword energies!
In an instant, he had unleashed over ten consecutive Single Character Sun-Scorching Sword strikes, the crisscrossing sword energies weaving into a net of blades that pressed down fiercely toward Gu Qingfeng.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions rang out continuously, and dazzling flames mercilessly engulfed Gu Qingfeng.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
[Host received Mirror Demon's attack, Defense +1000+1000+800+500+...]
Ah, having too strong a defense isn't always good. To evolve the Indestructible Vajra Body further, he'd need something more potent.
Gu Qingfeng thought silently.
"Say, number three, don't you have any other skills? Why do you only know how to use my techniques?"
The Mirror Demon stared at the unscathed Gu Qingfeng, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
However, he didn't answer Gu Qingfeng's question, instead continuing to mindlessly throw out Single Character Sun-Scorching Sword strikes. One after another, the sword energies struck Gu Qingfeng's body. It seemed he had run out of tricks.
Gu Qingfeng had formed a theory: the Mirror Demon's only ability was probably copying, which was why he had no other means to threaten him. Otherwise, he wouldn't keep using the Single Character Sun-Scorching Sword. In other words, defeating his copy would mean defeating the Mirror Demon.
But who could say they could easily defeat an exact copy of themselves? Especially when the opponent never tired, fighting like a machine that could wear you down through attrition.
After multiple failed attacks, the Mirror Demon finally gave up, showing signs of breaking down.
"How is this possible!" The Mirror Demon exclaimed in disbelief, "What kind of constitution do you have? Why are even Grandmaster-level attacks ineffective against you?"
When the Mirror Demon asked this, Gu Qingfeng suddenly paused.
"You're my copy, yet you don't know my constitution? Haven't you evolved along with me?"
"Evolve? What do you mean?"
At this point, Gu Qingfeng understood. He knew where the Mirror Demon's weakness lay.
It turned out that the Mirror Demon's copying ability was fixed at the moment one entered the mirror space. In other words, if you could break through while in the mirror space, your copy wouldn't grow stronger with you.
This was the key to defeating the copy!
No wonder such an overpowered ability could be defeated two hundred years ago. Breaking through in battle was the Mirror Demon's greatest weakness!
Ordinary Grandmasters would die facing the Mirror Demon, but those exceptionally talented geniuses who could break through in battle, constantly surpassing themselves, could counter the Mirror Demon completely.
Well, like me.
Gu Qingfeng silently affirmed to himself.
Thinking this, Gu Qingfeng stood up and quietly looked at the Mirror Demon.
The Mirror Demon felt an inexplicable sense of fear and stepped back twice. "What... what are you going to do!"
Gu Qingfeng calmly said, "I'll give you one last chance. If you have any powerful techniques left, use them now, or else..."
He left the rest unsaid, but the threat was clear.
"Kid, I am one of the Seven Demon Generals, and I see potential in you, which is why I've been reluctant to kill you, you..."
"It seems I guessed correctly. You really have nothing besides copying," Gu Qingfeng calmly interrupted.
"So what if that's true! You can't kill me even if I can't kill you! Don't you know how strong your body's defense is? And you can control fire - your strongest killing move, the Single Character Sun-Scorching Sword, is fire-attributed, it can't hurt me!" The Mirror Demon shouted, trying to appear fierce despite his inner fear.
Actually, the Mirror Demon was bluffing. Although the Single Character Sun-Scorching Sword was fire-attributed, it was still a sword technique and not pure fire. Moreover, its power had reached the Grandmaster level, and against such an attack, the fire control talent could only reduce damage, not completely nullify it.
The Mirror Demon wasn't sure if the Single Character Sun-Scorching Sword could hurt him, as Gu Qingfeng had never used the sword against himself. He only said this because he saw Gu Qingfeng emerge unharmed.
Using the Single Character Sun-Scorching Sword, one strike might not kill the Mirror Demon, but it would definitely wound him, and gradually wearing him down would work.
However, Gu Qingfeng had no intention of doing so. He wanted to test the Indestructible Vajra Body.
While the Indestructible Vajra Body might not possess the destructive power of the Single Character Sun-Scorching Sword, it was particularly effective against the Vajra Body!
The Vajra Body's greatest characteristic was its hardness!
But, too much hardness leads to brittleness!
The harder something is, when it meets something even harder, it shatters on impact.
The Indestructible Vajra Body was different. While harder than the Vajra Body, it also possessed the quality of being indestructible, combining both hardness and flexibility.
Gu Qingfeng clenched his fist, his knuckles making crisp cracking sounds, as he walked step by step toward the Mirror Demon.
The Mirror Demon panicked, as things had gone beyond his control.
He had thought he thoroughly understood Gu Qingfeng's capabilities, but the recent changes in Gu Qingfeng left him unable to grasp the situation.
This feeling of losing control made him very uncomfortable. Even when facing Grandmasters in the past, he could maintain his composure, but now, facing this young upstart Gu Qingfeng, he had lost his grip.
The Mirror Demon would never know that within Gu Qingfeng existed a system he could never copy.
You might have a copying cheat, but sorry, I have a system cheat.
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
