Demon Boss in the Human World

Chapter 87

Gu Yan always felt that he was fearless, he was used to being on the brink of life and death. No matter what situation he was faced with, he thought he could face it all calmly.

But this picturesque and beautiful human world, was a place he never wanted to come to ever again.

This strange and mysterious place bound his body, tormented his soul, bringing him endless pain, keeping him from freeing himself, there was nowhere to escape. It made him realize how powerless he really was.

The difference of a single step was like from the human world again, into hell.

Again......Why again.....? Gu Yan's eyes showed his confusion as his face paled. He cradled his head with both his hands, what did he forget?

Or should he say, that just like Qin Yao had mentioned, even if he tried his best to forget all of those memories, he would always remember that pain in his instincts.

Why......He had already abandoned the past so thoroughly, why can't it let him go!

Or maybe......He had never escaped?

Gu Yan covered his ears, blocking out the noise all around him.

He was being drowned in that endless pain again, and he finally understood what that feeling of helplessness and sorrow was. It was despair, despair that he would never be able to escape from. He was so tired of living, always living only for his parents, and the people of his country. He tried so hard to do what he thought was right, tried so hard to protect those who needed his protection. But what did he get in the end......? The emperor he was loyal to killed him ruthlessly, the people he protected feared him, his parents abandoned him, finally dying as well from being dragged in with him. The blood of his loved ones poured down onto the dirt above his head as their deep resentment ate away at him, never allowing him even a moment of peace.

He thought he was mentally prepared to take on any sort of pain, but that was not true.

When even death had become a luxury, he realized......

He was not that strong, nor that brave.

He would also be sad, he would also hate......

He did not want to continue on like this, the endless torture was making him go crazy. He wanted to get away from here, stopping all of this.

Even if he had to pay a price,

Even if he had to sell his soul to the devil,

He was willing.

A smile curved up his lips. Both his pain and his humour had blended together, morphing into a terrifying and distorted expression.

He was not the same anymore, he had already escaped! Not heaven nor hell could hold him down! He finally realized why he came back. This was his fate, this was the meaning of his existence......He came back just so he could destroy everything with his own hands!

His ground his teeth as the pain burst open within his mind, wave after wave. Both his legs were trembling, but he did not fall anymore. With all his power, he could stand......Stand up, get out of here......This sly place would only be a cage that trapped him......

The array was already gone......

It had already been a thousand years......

What was once here had already been turned into dust, why......would he still be trapped in the past?

One step, two steps, three steps......

Gu Yan stopped at his very last step as a violent glow burst out within his eyes. He had finally come out. He raised his head to look at the sky. A thousand years, nothing can suppress him anymore. He suddenly felt the urge to laugh, but his whole body was collapsing. Swaying slightly, his body fell forward......
