Chapter 622 - 629: The Death of Song Que

Song Wanning showed no fear. She was knocked down again and again, only to get back up each time.

Yun Yangzi was so frantic that blisters were forming on his lips, and he launched a fierce assault against Song Que.

But as time passed, everyone’s Spiritual Power was draining rapidly, and they were all clearly showing signs of exhaustion.

Yun Yangzi’s injuries were also worsening, and his movements had become much slower.

Yet Song Que seemed completely unaffected. He still stood tall, and every move he made was a vicious one, all while appearing utterly composed.

But no one knew of the shock and anxiety raging in his heart. ’Yun Yangzi is one thing, but what kind of monster is this Song Wanning? How is she still standing?!’

Her physical resilience was astonishing. Anyone else would have been shattered to pieces by now.

But she was only heavily injured, still able to climb to her feet and infuriate him.

To make matters worse, Song Wanning had a venomous tongue. Every word she spoke seemed to strike his weak spots with precision, making him fume with rage.

Song Que clenched his jaw. ’I’ve never hated someone this much!!’

His eyes narrowed, his gaze sweeping over the area. ’They’re all injured. They can’t last much longer.’

’Victory is within my grasp. I have to end this quickly—kill Yun Yangzi and Song Wanning now.’

’Once they’re gone, the rest will be fish in a barrel, not even worth mentioning.’

A murderous glint flashed in Song Que’s eyes as he attacked again.

But this time, his attack was different from all the others.

A demonic shadow emerged from the sky, its head tilting down as a pair of numb, icy pupils stared over at them.

The very instant she was targeted, Song Wanning suddenly found she couldn’t move.

Her expression changed drastically, her face filled with panic.

But no matter how hard she struggled, her body felt as if it were frozen solid, completely immobile.

Yun Yangzi suffered the same fate. In an instant, both of them were paralyzed.

The inky-black pupils stared intently at them, and an oppressive, predatory aura washed over them, making their hearts tremble as they inwardly cried out in alarm.

At the same time, Song Que’s face became deathly pale, and his own aura was rapidly weakening.

This move was his ultimate trump card, a guaranteed killing technique.

But once used, it consumed an enormous amount of Spiritual Power, leaving him unable to continue fighting afterward.

Song Que dared to take such a risk because the monsters gave him the confidence to do so.

A vicious glint flashed in his eyes as he chose to strike at Song Wanning first.

’This threat, Song Wanning, must die.’

’She must die!!’

Filled with an all-or-nothing fury, Song Que swung his great saber, aiming to split Song Wanning’s head.

If this strike landed, Song Wanning would undoubtedly die, and not even her Nascent Soul would be able to escape.

He flew closer, the great saber descending—

Song Wanning, who had been frozen in place, lifted her head and fixed him with a sharp gaze.

She suddenly broke into a faint smile.

THUMP—

A sudden chill ran down Song Que’s spine. He felt something was wrong.

But it was too late to back out. The great saber was already upon her.

At that critical moment, a rune suddenly flew out from Song Wanning’s Sea of Consciousness.

The instant the rune appeared, a brilliant light radiated outward.

And in that same instant, time came to a standstill.

Time had truly stopped!

Not just Song Que, but Yun Yangzi, the others, and even the monsters were all frozen in place.

They were all suspended in frozen time, the great saber hovering just above Song Wanning’s scalp.

It was just a hair’s breadth away from cleaving her skull.

Song Wanning broke out in a cold sweat, but she had no time to hesitate. The time stop would only last for a few breaths, leaving her with precious little time.

Without a moment’s hesitation, she viciously slashed her Longsword at Song Que’s neck.

The demonic shadow was still protecting the top of Song Que’s head. Fearing she might fail, she chose to sever his head instead.

The gleam of her sword sliced across Song Que’s neck.

At that same moment, the time stop ended, and everything returned to normal.

Song Que had no idea what had just happened, but he noticed his great saber was now far from Song Wanning.

And in that same instant, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck.

He tried to look down, but his head tumbled off his shoulders and rolled into the horde of monsters.

Song Que was stunned. Yun Yangzi was stunned.

What just happened?

As Song Que’s body collapsed, the pupils in the sky vanished. Song Wanning and Yun Yangzi, now free, attacked Song Que again without hesitation.

Song Que’s Nascent Soul scrambled out of his Sea of Consciousness, its face a mask of disbelief and pure hatred for Song Wanning.

"You bitch, what did you do?"

He shrieked, on the verge of collapse, unable to believe his physical body had been destroyed.

Hundreds of years of cultivation—all his efforts were wasted in this single moment.

Now, possession was his only way out.

A smile played on Song Wanning’s lips. "Song Que, I told you. You can’t kill me!"

"On the contrary, the moment you met me, your fate was sealed."

She spoke with incredible arrogance, and her two simple sentences struck a raw nerve with Song Que.

"Damn you!!"

Song Que roared madly and lunged toward Song Wanning’s Sea of Consciousness.

"You bitch, if I’m going to hell, I’m dragging you down with me—"

’Since my body is destroyed, I’ll just have to take Song Wanning’s!’

’Everything this woman has will be mine!’

Endless madness flashed in his eyes. He was beyond rational thought.

Only one thought remained: take Song Wanning’s body for himself!!

But before he could even get close to Song Wanning, a bolt of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder suddenly descended from the sky, carrying with it a terrifying, destructive intent that struck fear into the heart.

Song Que’s heart leaped into his throat. Scared half to death, he quickly changed direction to evade it.

He even summoned hordes of monsters to protect him, one wave after another.

But he had underestimated Song Wanning.

With a faint smile, Song Wanning unleashed more than ten bolts of Divine Thunder at once. They struck with precision, surrounding Song Que and cutting off any chance of escape.

Immediately after, a bolt of Purple Cloud Divine Thunder fell mercilessly into the center, crashing down with an absolute, overwhelming power.

Thunder was the bane of all Divine Souls, to say nothing of the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder.

Song Que was utterly terrified, darting left and right in a desperate attempt to escape.

But he was blocked by the Divine Thunder at every turn.

As he watched the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder crash down, Song Que’s eyes filled with nothing but endless resentment and indignation.

"No—"

He let out a terrified shriek before being completely engulfed by the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder.

Song Wanning, her face deathly pale, watched as Song Que was blasted into ash. The moment he was gone, an overwhelming wave of pain and exhaustion washed over her.

That final bolt of Purple Cloud Divine Thunder had drained the last wisp of her Spiritual Energy. Now, seeing Song Que dead, she could no longer hold on and collapsed, plummeting toward the ground below.

"Wan Ning!!"

A group of people rushed forward. The nearest clone caught Song Wanning, holding her as they landed on the ground.

At that moment, Song Wanning was a wretched sight.

Her face was covered in blood, her lips were deathly white, and she had no Spiritual Energy left in her body.

Everyone’s heart ached just looking at her.
