The moment Lotus showed herself and made her move, Gu Shenwei understood her intentions.
The Death Scripture had its own unique way of improving the user's strength – they had to kill high-caliber kung fu experts at least once a year. Otherwise, there was a high probability that the swordsmanship would backlash and kill its user. The swordsmanship and its user were like two mad horses sprinting towards a cliff – they clearly knew what lay before them, and yet, not only could they not stop, but they also felt the need to accelerate even faster.
There used to be a time when Gu Shenwei thought that Lotus had rid herself of this restriction, yet now he could see that he had been wrong.
