Chapter 294: The Yandere Demon Lord 48

Hearing Little Cutie’s explanation, Tang Wan immediately revealed a look of realization.

Sure enough—

A woman consumed by hatred was absolutely terrifying.

Now the only question was whether Su Muyan could actually defeat Shuiyue Shangxian.

…

High in the sky, the battle between Su Muyan and Shuiyue Shangxian had already reached a white-hot stage.

The cultivators below could barely keep up.

All they could see were two blurred afterimages—one white, one black—colliding endlessly through the air.

For a time, the hearts of the Changyun Sect disciples all tightened nervously.

From the looks of it…

Su Muyan’s strength was no weaker than Shuiyue Shangxian’s.

In truth, even Shuiyue Shangxian himself felt unprecedented pressure from her.

But because he hadn’t encountered such a worthy opponent in many years, instead of fear—

He felt excitement.

The more Su Muyan pressured him, the more serious and focused he became.

Su Muyan naturally noticed the excitement and fighting spirit in his eyes.

And that only made the smile at the corner of her lips grow colder.

Ah.

So this was the result of the ten years he spent after severing his love?

What a disappointment.

The next moment, an extremely terrifying dark aura suddenly erupted from Su Muyan’s body.

Then she slashed downward fiercely toward Shuiyue Shangxian.

Seeing that strange dark energy, the Changyun Sect initially thought she had fallen into demonic cultivation.

But they quickly realized—

This aura was completely different from demonic qi.

Instead, it was strangely pure.

Seeing this, Shuiyue Shangxian also stopped holding back and unleashed his full strength.

In an instant, the overwhelming sword qi from both sides collided violently.

Boom!

Terrifying waves of energy exploded through the sky.

Yet just as everyone focused on the clash of sword qi—

Su Muyan’s figure suddenly vanished from midair.

When she reappeared, she was already directly behind Shuiyue Shangxian.

Then—

She drove a dagger straight into his back.

Puchi!

Blood instantly stained Shuiyue Shangxian’s white robes red.

And for the very first time—

The calm, emotionless eyes that always seemed detached from the world finally revealed a trace of astonishment.

As though he genuinely hadn’t expected himself to lose.

…

Seeing that expression on his face, Su Muyan suddenly felt everything become strangely meaningless.

The lofty, untouchable image of Shuiyue Shangxian that once existed in her heart—

Collapsed completely in that instant.

Once upon a time, she never would’ve imagined that this cold and powerful man could actually be defeated by her own hands.

But now—

He had lost.

Which meant…

He was nothing more than this.

And strangely enough, at the moment she defeated him, Su Muyan finally understood a little why he had been willing to sever even his thread of love.

Because—

The feeling of possessing absolute strength…

Was intoxicating.

What was love?

Only strength was the true power capable of overcoming everything.

…

At that moment, the shockwaves from the collision of the two sword intents spread outward violently.

Shuiyue Shangxian’s body was immediately blasted backward by the turbulent energy.

“Shuiyue!”

The Changyun Sect elders cried out in alarm before rushing forward to catch him.

…

Meanwhile, the Sect Master looked at Su Muyan furiously.

“Su Muyan! How dare you attack your own master?!”

Hearing this, Su Muyan sneered coldly.

“Master?”

“Did Sect Master forget?”

“I was expelled from his tutelage thirteen years ago.”

Then she lowered her gaze toward the Changyun Sect below.

“At the moment I left ten years ago, I already swore this—”

“As long as I, Su Muyan, still live…”

“One day, I would personally flatten the Changyun Sect and wash away the humiliation you gave me!”

“And today…”

“Is the day your Changyun Sect falls!”

As soon as the words fell, she swung several sword strikes directly toward the sect’s mountain-protecting formation.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Terrifying sword qi crashed heavily against the barrier.

Seeing this, the expressions of the Changyun Sect elders all darkened instantly.

Then they exchanged quick glances with one another.

A moment later, one elder gritted his teeth and said:

“Activate the killing formation!”

“If we don’t kill Su Muyan today…”

“The Changyun Sect will never know peace again!”
