Savior vs. evil villain
Jiang Yanning killed him again and again, only to discover that he kept coming back to life.
He was despicable, shameless, two-faced, and a master at crawling through the shadows. He wanted to destroy the world. He killed everyone, and of course that included Jiang Yanning.
I'm tired. Let's just destroy the world.
Xie Zhili smiled. "Die."
He came back to life again. They killed each other again.
Will this ever end? I want to give up.
This time, as they faced off and Jiang Yanning loathed him, the sect drove Xie Zhili away. Jiang Yanning made an unexpected choice. "I'll go with you."
Xie Zhili didn't understand. He was shocked, then laughed. "You're the favored genius of heaven. Why come with me? I don't want you to. Who do you think you are?"
Jiang Yanning: "I'm Jiang Yanning."
Xie Zhili: "? I know your name. You don't need to emphasize it. I also know I'm very charming."
Maybe I should just stab him to death after all, Jiang Yanning thought coldly.

At first, Xie Zhili was clueless. He was a beggar with useless Five-Element spiritual roots, unable to truly cultivate. Later, he took someone else's spiritual roots and finally learned to cultivate. He began to climb his way up, but because of his bloodline and family background, things never went his way.
If swinging his sword once didn't help him improve, he'd swing it a thousand times, ten thousand, a million. But he was destined to be a villain. He could only ever be a villain.

Being a savior must be great. It is. Jiang Yanning always manages to escape danger. When he jumps off a cliff, he finds a martial arts manual. An immortal is sealed in his ring. He has many good brothers and many admirers. His Dao heart is clear, until one day it shatters.
His sword points at the heavens, at other people, and at himself.
No one understands.
Jiang Yanning firmly believes he must kill Xie Zhili, until he realizes that loving him is the ultimate answer. What I have is mine. What I want is mine. Who has the right to dictate my life?
The Heavenly Dao wants me to suffer, to shine with dazzling brilliance, to save all living beings. So what? I have my own path.
On a dark, windy night, shadows crowd beneath the trees.
Jiang Yanning sneaks around. "Xie Zhili, where are you?!"
A handsome figure drops from the sky in a dramatic pose. "I'm right here. Oh, you came looking for me."
Jiang Yanning: ...
