Gui Dao

Gui Dao is a Reaper loyal to Ling Chen, distinguished within the group for speed. After obeying Ling’s order to leave him during Instructor Hell’s attack, Gui Dao helps guard the shattered household and later carries his master out of the Long family compound. A later recollection confirms his death without depicting how it occurred. (Chapters 313–333, 512, and 724)

Biography

The Road South and the Fairy Realm

Gui Dao senses that something is wrong after Ling orders the Reapers away and contacts Gui Ya, but help arrives too late to prevent the household disaster. Blaming himself, he asks only to see Ling recover before accepting death as punishment. Though wounded and wrapped in bandages, he refuses rest, guards Ling while he mourns Ling Shui Ruo, and later receives his master during the escape from the Long estate. His speed lets him clear the wall with Ling on his back while the other Reapers hold off pursuit. (Chapters 313–314, 321, and 333)

The Defense and Founding of Ling Tian City

Gui Dao’s contribution is recalled rather than newly performed in this phase. The account of Ling’s escape says that Gui Dao brought him out and then passed him to Mu Bing Yao, who eventually entrusted him to Tian Tian. The report confirms that Gui Dao completed the extraction entrusted to him, but it does not state when or how he later died. (Chapter 512)

The Moon God Palace and the Shura’s Return

By Chapter 724, Ling twice names Gui Dao alongside Ying Ya as one of the Reapers killed in the conflict with the Long family. Their deaths remain part of his refusal to reconcile with that family and of the surviving Reapers’ grievance. Because the corpus supplies no death scene or later clarification, Gui Dao’s final action cannot be identified beyond his successful role in carrying Ling away. (Chapter 724)

Appearance and personality

Gui Dao receives no detailed facial or clothing description. After Instructor Hell’s attack he is bandaged, limping, and visibly in pain, but remains on his feet because he believes danger is ongoing. His defining traits are obedience, vigilance, self-blame, and absolute loyalty to Ling. (Chapters 313 and 321)

He follows direct orders even when his judgment warns him something is wrong, then accepts responsibility without excuse when the result is disastrous. During the Long estate escape, that loyalty becomes resolve: he promises that Ling will not die before him and forces his injured body past its limits. (Chapters 313 and 333)

Abilities and powers

Gui Dao is a highly trained Reaper and is identified by Gui Ya as the fastest member present during the Long estate escape. Even while carrying an unconscious adult, he runs through a battlefield and leaps a ten-metre wall. The scene also makes clear that carrying Ling prevents him from fighting effectively, so the other Reapers must clear his route. (Chapter 333)

His assassin training implies the Reapers’ general combat discipline, but the supplied passages give Gui Dao no named technique, virtual-world class, or supernatural power. His injuries after Instructor Hell’s attack show that he remains physically vulnerable despite his speed and conditioning. (Chapters 314 and 321)

Relationships

• Ling Chen: Gui Dao regards Ling as the master who freed the Reapers from Hell and places his life above his own. He guards Ling in grief, carries him out of the Long compound, and is later remembered by Ling as a death that cannot be forgiven. (Chapters 313, 321, 333, and 724)
• Gui Ya: Gui Ya reprimands Gui Dao for obeying Ling’s order to withdraw, but also trusts his speed with the decisive extraction. Their harsh exchange reflects shared loyalty rather than personal enmity. (Chapters 313 and 333)
• Mu Bing Yao: After escaping the Long compound, Gui Dao passes Ling into Mu Bing Yao’s care. The handoff is reported later and no broader personal relationship is described. (Chapter 512)

Items

No signature weapon or personal artifact is identified for Gui Dao. The escape scene focuses on his speed and on carrying Ling, and does not specify what equipment he possesses. (Chapter 333)
