Chapter 325: Chapter 325: Ye Chuxue’s Breakdown
Mo Yuan didn’t attack Ye Chuxue either, just unhurriedly pursued her from behind.
The Senior hadn’t given the order, so he didn’t dare to act rashly. He could only follow at a distance, just close enough to ensure Ye Chuxue couldn’t escape.
Soon, Song Wanning appeared between the two of them.
Ye Chuxue gritted her teeth and scrambled to her feet, but when she saw only Song Wanning, her pupils contracted violently.
’Master... Master, he...’
"You, what did you do to Master?"
Seeing Song Wanning catch up, Ye Chuxue knew she couldn’t escape, so she stopped trying to run.
She stared at Song Wanning in disbelief, unable to accept that her master had already fallen.
"He was your Senior Brother! Aren’t you afraid of being punished by the Grand Master for this?"
Mo Yuan also noticed the scent of blood on Song Wanning. Realizing that Gu Qingyuan had been dealt with, his feelings grew even more complicated.
He didn’t know how to face Song Wanning.
He hated her for her deception, yet he was still so caught in her web of lies that he didn’t want to get out.
’She’s so detestable!’
He stood awkwardly to the side, completely at a loss for what to do.
Song Wanning paid him no mind, instead taking a step forward.
"I was purifying our sect on behalf of my Master. Why would I be punished for that?"
"After all, Gu Qingyuan shamelessly got involved with his own disciple. If word got out... it would be a disgrace."
She let out a soft chuckle, her eyes filled with undisguised contempt.
That superior gaze stung Ye Chuxue’s sensitive nerves.
"Song Wanning, you’re just jealous! Who are you trying to fool?"
She glared daggers at Song Wanning. Since she couldn’t escape, she was no longer afraid.
But even if she died, she would never let Song Wanning have a moment of peace.
"I bet you didn’t know. When Master was lost in passion, he loved to call me Chuxue..."
"From beginning to end, he never loved you."
"In his heart, you were just a vicious shrew—jealous, ill-tempered, and utterly devoid of charm!"
"The person he loved most was always me!!!!"
She said this triumphantly, as if she had won some kind of victory.
It seemed this was the only area where she could claim superiority over Song Wanning.
But the reaction she expected never came. Song Wanning wasn’t furious or flustered at all.
On the contrary, her eyes were filled with amusement as she watched Ye Chuxue quietly.
As if she were watching a joke unfold.
That gaze... made it impossible for Ye Chuxue to continue.
"You... you..."
’Why isn’t this trick working on Song Wanning anymore?’
In the past, a single word was enough to provoke Song Wanning into a rage.
"Are you finished?"
Song Wanning raised an eyebrow, casting a sardonic glance toward the heavens.
"Tsk, so this is the person you carefully chose..."
The moment she finished speaking, dark clouds suddenly gathered from afar in the once-clear sky, rapidly converging above their heads.
Ye Chuxue and Mo Yuan both looked up. They could feel a powerful rage descending from above.
It was so oppressive they could barely breathe.
But Song Wanning remained calm and composed, her indifferent gaze sweeping over Ye Chuxue.
"Death is at your door, yet your mind is still filled with nothing but romance... Tsk."
’To be honest, Ye Chuxue is even more love-obsessed than I was in my past life.’
’True power is the only thing one can rely on.’
’Failing to understand this truth guarantees a miserable end.’
In the sky, the gathering clouds grew denser, turning the bright sky into an oppressive, dark expanse.
A storm was brewing. The demonic beasts in the area sensed that something was wrong and fled into the distance.
Mo Yuan’s expression turned grave, alarm bells ringing in his mind.
He opened his mouth, wanting to tell Song Wanning to be careful, but no sound came out.
In the end, he just pressed his lips together, clenched his fists, and looked at Song Wanning.
’The Senior doesn’t seem surprised by the situation at all. She probably won’t run...’
’What about me?’
’This is the perfect time to escape.’
’Once the Senior deals with Ye Chuxue, I’ll definitely be next.’
He lifted his foot, but found he couldn’t take a single step. Finally, he let out a helpless sigh.
’I still can’t let go of the Senior.’
’Even though she used me, I’m still pathetically unable to let go.’
’I’m so pathetic.’
Mo Yuan gave a bitter smile.
But his expression slowly grew resolute.
"Song Wanning, so what if you’re stubborn? You can’t kill me! You can’t kill me!!!"
Ye Chuxue’s expression was crazed, her voice rising to a shrill pitch.
"Did you see that? If you dare to touch me, the Heavenly Thunder will strike you dead!"
"I am the protagonist of this world! You’re just a discarded, villainous side character!"
"You’re destined to be my stepping stone, to be trampled under my feet for your entire life!"
"You, all of you, and your entire Song Family—you are all my stepping stones! Hahaha..."
"Hahahaha..."
Ye Chuxue laughed maniacally, her hair flying wildly around her.
Demonic Qi surged in her eyes. A Heart Demon had clearly taken root, and she had completely fallen to the demonic path.
All the malice in her heart could no longer be hidden; it was all unleashed.
Song Wanning’s expression remained indifferent, but killing intent gradually filled her eyes. A boundless will to fight was aimed directly at the heavens.
A Longsword appeared in her hand. The corners of her lips curved up slightly as she pointed its tip at Ye Chuxue.
"A mere sneaky intruder, a protagonist?"
"Hah. How ridiculous."
With that, she swung her sword straight at Ye Chuxue, holding nothing back.
An arc of Chaos Qi spread out rapidly, striking viciously toward Ye Chuxue.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Chuxue was hit and sent flying backward.
At that exact same moment, the Heavenly Thunder fell.
It was the familiar Nine Heavens Divine Thunder!!!
Song Wanning looked up abruptly, her battle intent soaring.
She swung her Longsword to meet it.
However, just as she swung her sword, a figure suddenly flew over, charging straight toward the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder above.
A cry accompanied him: "Senior, be careful!"
Startled, Song Wanning immediately retracted her sword’s momentum. Otherwise, that single strike would have been enough to send Mo Yuan to hell.
At the same time, she beckoned sharply, pulling Mo Yuan into her arms and lunging to the side.
The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder had already crashed down, but because the two of them had moved in time, only a portion of it hit them.
Even so, Mo Yuan was struck nearly unconscious, his life force rapidly draining away.
Song Wanning’s eyes sharpened. She took out an Elixir Pill and stuffed it into his mouth, then quickly tossed him far away.
’Mo Yuan knew the truth, yet he was still willing to block the Divine Thunder for me?’
She was surprised, and her expression grew much more solemn.
However, a second bolt of Divine Thunder descended, striking viciously at her.
"Hahaha—Song Wanning, you... just go... die..."
Ye Chuxue was sprawled on the ground, beaten so badly she couldn’t even crawl.
Even as she coughed up mouthfuls of blood, she didn’t forget to keep venting her rage.
"You... you’re nothing... but a... piece of trash... who relies on men... what’s with... the... high and mighty... act..."
Her eyes were filled with jealousy and madness.
Having lived two lives, she utterly despised people born with a silver spoon in their mouth.
’Why?’
’Why were they born with everything?’
