Mo Yuan’s heart seethed with hatred as he stared fixedly at the Heavenly Pillar Seal.

Just as the towering Demon Mountain was about to crush Song Wanning, her figure flickered at the last possible moment and vanished without a trace.

The smile on the Demon Lord’s lips instantly vanished. He immediately released his Divine Sense, searching for any sign of Song Wanning.

But strangely, no matter how hard he searched, he couldn’t find the slightest trace of her aura. It was as if she had vanished into thin air.

The Demon Lord was furious. Before he could even retract the Heavenly Pillar Seal, several magical beasts charged at him again.

They all shared a common enemy and wanted to take down the one who had injured them.

The man and the beasts clashed once more.

In the next instant, however, a flash of sword light slashed at him from behind his neck. A terrifying chill shot through his entire body, and the Demon Lord spun around to retaliate purely on instinct.

He threw out a palm strike, barely dodging the sword light, only to have a magical beast’s claw tear through his abdomen, even yanking out a section of his intestines.

HISS—

The Demon Lord grimaced in agony, his face turning deathly pale. At the same time, he formed a blade with his hand and viciously chopped down on the magical beast.

The magical beast let out a shriek and fell to the ground with a THUD.

At that moment, Song Wanning’s sword light attacked again. This time, she had combined her Abnormal Fire, the Golden Small Sword, and her sword moves into a single attack.

A roaring Golden Dragon, its body wreathed in scorching flames, shot toward the Demon Lord’s heart like a streaking Flying Sword.

It all happened in a flash. The Demon Lord pulled back to defend himself but was sent flying by the immense power of the attack.

Behind him, the Thunder Demon Wolf’s ball of lightning closed in again. The Demon Lord’s vision went dark with rage as he swung his Magic Wand to force it back.

Several moves were exchanged in just a few short moments.

For a moment, the surrounding Spiritual Energy and Demonic Qi raged violently. The immense pressure forced any onlookers who were about to approach to quickly detour, not daring to get any closer.

... 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"You bitch! You’re teaming up with that animal to screw with me?"

The Demon Lord’s attack hit nothing but air as he once again lost all trace of Song Wanning’s aura.

He let out an enraged roar. His body was already covered in bloody gashes, and he looked utterly wretched.

A quarter of an hour had passed, yet that bitch was still completely unscathed. This was just too much!

Every time he was about to land a blow on Song Wanning, she would vanish into thin air. It wasn’t spatial teleportation; she would just genuinely disappear.

If even the most powerful attacks couldn’t touch her, then what the hell was the point of fighting?

He, on the other hand, was covered in injuries inflicted by the magical beasts and that bitch. He was already panting for breath and completely stretched thin!

"What’s with all the pointless chatter?"

Hearing this, Mo Yuan sneered. "Don’t blame everyone but yourself for your own weakness. Today, you are destined to die here!"

"You little bastard! If I had known, I would have strangled you at birth!"

The Demon Lord spat out a mouthful of blood, filled with immense regret that he hadn’t secretly dealt a fatal blow sooner.

’Who would have thought that woman would secretly send the child away before she died!?’

"You want me to die? Today, we’ll see who’s the one who dies!"

The Demon Lord roared and attacked the magical beasts again. By now, the beasts were covered in wounds, barely hanging on. The Demon Lord was backing them into a corner.

But now, they couldn’t escape, and they couldn’t win the fight...

Desperation flashed in their eyes as the magical beasts were once again forced to counterattack.

Song Wanning suddenly flickered back into existence, her eyes filled with chilling killing intent.

Thanks to Mo Yuan’s teleportation, she had yet to suffer any real injuries aside from the depletion of her Spiritual Power.

’But if this keeps up,’ she thought, ’killing the Demon Lord is unrealistic.’

’So, I have to risk it all.’

Song Wanning swung her sword, using almost every sword move in her arsenal once more. But in the end, the gulf in their Cultivation was too great, and the Demon Lord stubbornly clung to life.

Instead, in her attempt to achieve her goal, she was quickly injured by the Demon Lord and sent flying backward.

PFFT—

The Demon Lord’s strike made her chest seize up, and she immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

She immediately sent a voice transmission to Mo Yuan, telling him not to teleport her randomly unless it was a critical moment.

Mo Yuan was worried, but he agreed.

His gaze tightened, and he watched Song Wanning’s figure intently, ready to act at a moment’s notice.

Inside the bubble, Song Wanning charged toward the Demon Lord once more.

The Demon Lord’s vitality was greatly damaged, and his current combat strength was a far cry from what it was before.

’Since that’s the case, I’ll just fight him without holding back. This is also an opportunity to improve myself.’

ROAR—

The magical beasts also charged forward with all their might.

All sorts of Spells flashed, a dazzling display of light and power.

Space constantly twisted, warped, and even exploded. Howling spatial rifts appeared one after another, adding another layer of danger to their struggle.

SWISH—

Song Wanning brushed past a spatial rift, and the fierce vortex instantly shredded the hem of her dress, turning it to dust before sucking it into the rift to disappear completely.

Her pupils contracted slightly as she began to think of a way to lure the Demon Lord into one of the spatial rifts.

But the spatial rifts were erratic and incredibly fast. Before long, both humans and the few remaining beasts were covered in wounds, utterly exhausted both mentally and physically.

This was especially true for the Demon Lord. He had barely rested since entering this place. Even after consuming a Demon Pill to restore his Demonic Qi, his spirit was starting to fail.

His movements began to slow down considerably.

Song Wanning, however, only grew fiercer with each setback. Her attacks became increasingly ruthless. Though her own injuries mounted, her eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.

Seeing this, the Demon Lord couldn’t help but spit on the ground before launching an exhausted counterattack.

...

「In the blink of an eye, another quarter of an hour went by.」

A flaming sword light collided violently with a demonic dragon. Shockwaves radiated outward in all directions, followed by a deafening, earth-shaking rumble as mountains collapsed and the ground split apart.

Song Wanning and the Demon Lord were both blasted away, collapsing to the ground and coughing up blood nonstop.

PFFT—

She coughed up several mouthfuls of fresh blood before quickly fumbling for an Elixir Pill and swallowing it.

When the explosion had occurred just now, Mo Yuan had thankfully helped her teleport away instantly. Otherwise, she would have been too grievously injured to even move.

Looking around, one of the magical beasts was already dead, and the rest were so severely wounded they could barely move, just barely clinging to life.

In fact, all it would take was a flick of Song Wanning’s Longsword to finish them off completely.

As for the Demon Lord across from her, his condition was even worse than Song Wanning’s. His clothes were long since tattered, burned black and stuck to his skin.

His face and body were covered in bloody gashes, and in many places, bone protruded from the flesh, a ghastly and horrifying sight.

His black hair was disheveled over his shoulders, hacked to uneven lengths by sword light and matted with blood of all kinds.

When he opened his mouth, black blood streamed out. He lay on the ground, completely drained of strength, his eyes filled with indignation.

The Demon Lord swallowed an Elixir Pill and struggled to his feet, relying entirely on his Magic Wand to keep himself upright.

’He never would have imagined that Song Wanning would be so damn hard to deal with!’
