Chapter 621 - 628: Kill Me If You Can

"Demon God, grant me strength!!!"

Song Que spread his arms and roared at the sky.

The moment the words left his mouth, his aura grew even more unfathomable.

In the blink of an eye, a layer of Demonic Qi shrouded his face, flickering in and out of existence. He looked like a monster that had crawled out of the abyss.

His eyes turned pitch-black, with not a speck of white to be seen.

Song Que cracked his neck and revealed a cruel smile.

"You forced my hand! You’re the ones who sought your own doom, so don’t blame me!!!"

"Hahaha!!!"

Song Que let out an arrogant laugh. With a wave of his hand, a massive demonic shadow appeared and lunged toward the two of them.

Song Wanning’s heart sank. Her mind was filled with the "Demon God" Song Que had just mentioned.

’Is this the same Demon God I know?’

’But the Demon God’s origin is within me, yet I feel no sense of familiarity at all.’

’So, the Demon God Song Que speaks of is not the same one I met!’

Killing intent surged within Song Wanning. In that instant, she felt that the Demon God had been desecrated.

’What kind of riffraff dares call itself a Demon God?’

’How outrageous!’

Her gaze sharpened, and her attacks became even more ruthless.

Yun Yangzi also sensed that something was wrong. He tried all sorts of techniques, only to realize why Song Que was being so arrogant.

No matter the attack, the moment it reached the demonic shadow, the shadow would dissipate like air to dodge it, only to reform and attack them in turn.

Under these circumstances, both of them soon began to sustain injuries.

The situation took a sharp downturn, and Song Wanning’s mind began to race.

’If this keeps up, our chances of winning aren’t good. After all, killing a Mahayana Peak Cultivator is incredibly difficult.’

’What’s more, Song Que’s strength is clearly above that of ordinary Mahayana cultivators. Killing him is even harder than I thought.’

’And now, with the demonic shadow protecting him, we can’t harm a single hair on Song Que’s head.’

Though Song Wanning felt a sense of urgency, her attacks grew increasingly steady.

She considered many possibilities, finally pinning her hopes on her Time Attribute.

’My spatial attribute only allows me to move around freely, but its offensive power against him is practically zero!’

’But the Time Attribute is different. That can pose a real threat to him!!’

’However, at my current level of comprehension, I can only reduce his lifespan. The tangible damage isn’t significant.’

’If I use it rashly, it will just make Song Que put his guard up, and then I won’t be able to use it effectively when I need to.’

Song Wanning’s mind whirred, and within a few seconds, she made her decision.

She began to fend off Song Que’s attacks while simultaneously trying to comprehend a deeper level of the Time Attribute within her Sea of Consciousness.

Because her focus was divided, she was soon struck again and sent flying backward.

"KOFF—"

Song Wanning landed on a pile of monster corpses, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Yet, her eyes grew even more excited.

No crisis, no matter how dire, could ever defeat her. It would only motivate her further.

It is in battle that breakthroughs are most easily achieved—of this, she was utterly convinced!

Song Wanning wiped her mouth and shot back into the sky. The Immortal Furnace was no longer her shield; instead, she tossed it to her clone.

’I can’t be protected by the Immortal Furnace forever. I need to face these dangers myself, to break through bit by bit on the edge of life and death.’

The moment she came to this realization, Song Wanning’s mind cleared, and even her state of mind elevated.

’So all this time, the protection of the Immortal Furnace had slowly eroded my courage to face danger. I was always thinking of using it to protect myself, but I forgot: if I were to lose the Immortal Furnace, how would my own Cultivation stand against these threats?’

’True strength comes only from within!’

’Only your own power will never betray you!!’

The light in Song Wanning’s eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if filled with an infinite radiance that made her seem to glow.

She was like a goddess of confidence, charging heroically toward Song Que with indomitable courage.

"BOOM—"

Another attack struck, and Song Wanning was once again blasted away.

She scrambled to her feet without a care, no longer even minding the bloodstains on her face!

"Courting death?"

Song Que noticed that Song Wanning’s state was somewhat odd, and his expression grew colder.

"A genius who can’t live long enough to mature is no genius at all!"

He sneered, and the demonic shadow behind him transformed again, bearing down on Song Wanning with immense pressure.

"Careful!"

Yun Yangzi shouted sharply and rushed over, but the demonic shadow split in two, directly intercepting him.

"Song Que, do you really want to destroy everything?"

he roared, his heart filled with nothing but resentment for Song Que.

’Song Wanning is the most promising genius of this generation. If she were truly killed by Song Que, the loss would be far too great!’

"Hahaha!"

Hearing this, Song Que burst into laughter again, finding Yun Yangzi utterly ridiculous.

"Still haven’t grasped the situation, have you? How stupid can you be!"

His eyes filled with scorn, and his attacks grew even more vicious.

"Song Que, confess and surrender now!"

Yun Yangzi’s anger flared. "I’ve already called for reinforcements! They’ll be here soon. If you reveal the monsters’ lair, I might be able to spare your life!"

At that moment, Yun Yangzi was truly afraid.

’Song Wanning is clearly outmatched. She absolutely cannot die here.’

’As for Song Que, if we can’t kill him this time, there’s always a next time!’

He just hoped Song Que would recognize the difficulty and retreat.

But unexpectedly, Song Que reacted as if he’d heard the funniest joke in the world, once again bursting into arrogant laughter.

"Hahaha!"

"Yun Yangzi, you’re killing me!"

A vicious glint flashed in Song Que’s eyes. "No matter who comes today, they will all die here. No one will escape!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Song Wanning was sent flying once more.

She looked utterly wretched, covered in blood, her clothes tattered and torn.

But her gaze was exceptionally resolute. That look, filled with fighting spirit and excitement, made even Song Que a little uncomfortable.

Song Wanning stood up again, staring at Song Que with a smirk that didn’t reach her eyes, her face a mask of provocation.

"Song Que, kill me if you have the guts!"

"Wan Ning!!"

The others grew anxious. They had been watching the battle intently, and seeing Song Wanning get injured time and time again, their anxiety was palpable.

But the endless stream of monsters gave them no chance to get closer.

Moreover, they couldn’t understand why Song Wanning had given the Immortal Furnace to her clone when it was clearly a life-saving treasure.

Song Wanning gave a slight smile and looked at the worried crowd.

Seeing their concerned gazes, the corners of her mouth curled up even higher.

"Don’t worry. He’s not enough to kill me."

Her words were the very definition of arrogance.

Even Song Que had to laugh.

"Hehehe..."

"Well said, Song Wanning. Today, I’ll show you whether or not I can kill you!!"

Song Que was truly enraged now. Nearly all of his subsequent attacks were aimed at Song Wanning.
