The villain dies because he talks too much, because he always underestimates his enemy and his opponent finds his weaknesses.
Sheng Ning talks a lot in order to pave the way for killing the villains later.
She prided herself on her thick skin, believing that no matter how much the villains said, their attempts to destroy her resolve would be futile.
After all, as long as she is shameless and thinks she is great, the villain can't brainwash her.
But Soul Extinction is different.
As an elder of the demon race, he was usually flattered by his subordinates. The only demon lord who made him feel inferior was the one who was fair in rewarding and punishing.
Furthermore, he did indeed inject his divine soul power into the energy ball, so once the energy ball was thrown out, he didn't know whether Sheng Ning would live or die.
His soul is attached to the two energy balls. When the energy balls explode, he will surely die, and his soul will be shattered into dust.
Therefore, after Sheng Ning finished speaking, a look of hesitation appeared on his face.
This was the moment Sheng Ning had been waiting for.
A triumphant smile spread across her face as she gripped the Eight-Star Kunwu Sword in her hand, channeling spiritual energy into the blade, which became noticeably more excited.
The next instant, she flicked her wrist, and the Soul Extinction that was standing in front of her was instantly cleaved in two.
"Keep the demon pills for me, and let Senior Xuanwu and the others have a taste."
A demonic core from the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm—it's a powerful tonic!
Upon hearing this, the Eight-Star Kunwu Sword paused its movement in cleaving the Soul-Destroying Sword, then bypassed the demonic core and continued to cleave the Soul-Destroying Sword in two.
The cross-section of the Soul-Destroying Sword after it was split open was very neat, and it was clear that the Eight-Star Kunwu Sword was a good sword, extremely sharp.
The moment the flaw of Soul Extinction appeared, Sheng Ning cleaved his entire body in two.
The demon army, which had already been routed not long ago, immediately panicked upon seeing the elder killed.
Sheng Ning glanced down at the demon army that was being driven back by her senior brothers not far away, and the tension in her mind suddenly eased.
"Junior Sister, be careful!"
"Sheng Ning!"
"Ah Ning!!!"
For a moment, everything went black before Sheng Ning heard a scream in her ear and managed to steady her falling body.
She slightly opened her eyes and saw several senior brothers rushing towards her. She smiled and wanted to say that she was alright.
Just as she was about to stand up and regain control of her body, she found that something was wrapped around her waist.
A look of surprise flashed across his face.
She looked down at the thing wrapped around her waist.
When she saw that what was wrapped around her waist was a tree branch, and a tree branch covered with eyes, her first thought was not fear.
It's disgusting.
"Again, demons? Do you demons not have lights? So you just grow recklessly during evolution, completely disregarding the lives of others, right?"
The tree branch seemed not to understand what she was saying, and just winked at her.
Sheng Ning pursed her lips, and when she looked up again, she saw that her senior brothers had already approached.
A smile flickered across her slightly furrowed brows. She parted her lips and said, "Senior brothers, I'm fine," when she felt a sensation of weightlessness wash over her.
Immediately afterwards, her senior brothers' exclamations rang in her ears again.
Sheng Ning barely had time to control the Eight-Star Kunwu Sword to cut the tree branch.
The whistling wind passed by her ears, and the feeling of weightlessness as she was entangled in tree branches made her squint her eyes.
Until the blue sky that had been obscured by the demons before her eyes turned into a fiery red horizon.
Then the feeling of weightlessness disappeared, and as she touched the ground with her toes, she looked around. The familiar surroundings told her that she had returned to the demon territory she had visited before.
The Ghost Locust Tree is a teleportation array between the demon and human worlds.
Sheng Ning turned her head to look at the ghost locust tree beside her, but after seeing the countless eyes on it, she silently looked away.
The concept of the Ghost Locust Tree was a bit too ahead of its time for her.
It's so ugly it's unbearable.
The demons remained as barren as ever.
All around were bare rocks, which was somewhat different from the demon branch she had entered last time.
At least in terms of the number of demonic cultivators, there are significantly more demonic cultivators here.
"The Demon Lord requests your presence."
Upon seeing Sheng Ning arrive, the demonic cultivators who were guarding the side were not surprised and stepped forward to lead the way for her, as if they had already expected that she would be sent to the demon realm.
Sheng Ning raised an eyebrow and smiled upon hearing this, "If I don't go, will you kill me?"
The demonic cultivator who was leading the way seemed surprised that she could still maintain such a calm expression after being sent to the demon realm.
A moment of hesitation appeared on his pale gray face, and after a short while, the demonic cultivator shook his head, "Yes."
Sheng Ning chuckled, "I was just joking. Let's go, lead the way."
If she hadn't failed in her attempt to recall the large weapons that had fallen into Youyun City, she certainly wouldn't have given up.
Given her cultivation level, she wouldn't dare to venture into the Demon Realm alone.
The demonic cultivator glanced at the smirk on her face, frowned slightly, and then turned around to lead the way for her.
The sky over the Demon Realm always seems to be red.
Sheng Ning memorized the route she had taken, and only when the demonic cultivator who was leading the way brought her to a luxurious palace did he stop.
"The Demon Lord is inside. Go in."
The closer they got to the Demon Lord's palace, the darker the sky became.
Until the very end, the road ahead was almost illuminated by the brightness of churning lava.
Fortunately, Sheng Ning possessed a fire-type spiritual root, otherwise she would have been burned into a fool.
The demonic cultivator who led the way turned and left when he brought her to the palace.
There wasn't a single demonic cultivator around.
Upon seeing this, Sheng Ning raised an eyebrow. "Are you really not afraid that I'll turn around and run away?"
Despite saying that, she still pushed open the palace gates.
The palace was extremely luxurious inside and out; the Demon Lord's taste was far superior to that of the other demon cultivators.
Sheng Ning pushed open the door and entered. As soon as he stepped into the palace, the door behind him closed automatically.
"Is there a demon?"
"The Demon Lord?"
"I hadn't even finished killing people up there yet, and you had your men drag me here to the Demon Realm? What's the matter?"
The palace was empty except for the red gauze hanging from the beams, which moved without wind.
Sheng Ning looked around and, after using her spiritual power to investigate, found that the palace was indeed empty. She then simply found a place to sit down.
She had just escaped from the demon army, and her spiritual power was almost completely depleted.
If it weren't for the Spirit-Replenishing Pill, we wouldn't have been able to kill the Soul-Destroying Demon.
Propping her head with one hand, she lightly tapped the table with her other slender white fingers. "Tell me, what does the Demon Lord look like?"
'If the Demon Lord is still that person, he's... quite handsome.'
The little white dumpling's words made Sheng Ning say "Oh," her voice rising at the end, and a hint of surprise appearing in her bright eyes.
'But you can't mess with this guy; he's a madman.'
'He was the one who tried to destroy the entire cultivation world back then. If it weren't for you... this cultivation world would have been destroyed long ago.'
"A madman? He wants to destroy the cultivation world? Why?" Sheng Ning asked in surprise.
To be specific, he was a madman driven mad by unrequited love.
