Chapter 315: Settle It Once and For All

Within the Sword Sect, Elder Can Shang took the field himself and became one of the formation’s eyes.

But once the formation starts, the six Tribulation Crossing Stage experts cannot attack on their own. The formation controls everything.

If Li Shuang truly belongs to the Devil Path, then even if Elder Can Shang wants to protect her, he will not be able to do anything.

Inside the formation, Li Shuang and Ye Zhao Zhao stood on opposite sides.

Ye Zhao Zhao looked at Li Shuang with a proud air.

Li Shuang would never know that no matter how hard she worked or how fast she advanced, ever since Ye Zhao Zhao crossed into this world, Li Shuang had become a forever supporting role.

And Ye Zhao Zhao was the true main character.

No matter how many setbacks she had suffered, the final winner could only be her.

Today, with the Devil-Expelling Formation, she and Li Shuang could finally make a clean end.

[Li Shuang must feel very wronged and unfair.]

[But so what? She is only a supporting role. The pain of a supporting role has no value. Only a dead Li Shuang can give me more value.]

A thin pity flashed in Ye Zhao Zhao’s eyes as she promised herself: [Li Shuang, rest easy. When you die and I gain all your luck, I will use it well. I will stand on the peak and look at the view you never saw.]

Ye Zhao Zhao looked at Li Shuang with a smile and asked: “Fellow Daoist Li, the formation is complete, and I have done as you wished by entering it with you. Sadly, the Devil Path is the Devil Path, and the Righteous Path is the Righteous Path. No matter how you twist black and white, you cannot change the end. Do you have any last words?”

Ye Zhao Zhao could hardly wait.

Li Shuang would soon die.

This was her last chance to speak with Li Shuang.

She longed to see Li Shuang break down in pain.

Sadly, this woman was as cold as ice. Even now, she was as calm as a still pond.

Li Shuang looked at her and replied: “The Devil Path is the Devil Path, and the Righteous Path is the Righteous Path? I agree with that.”

Ye Zhao Zhao showed only a mocking smile.

Li Shuang was still too naive.

She would never know how powerful the System and Your Excellency were.

With the System’s help and Your Excellency’s favor, Ye Zhao Zhao and Li Shuang were never in the same world.

For a small supporting role like Li Shuang to be her opponent for so long was already something to be proud of.

She had always wanted to defeat Li Shuang in public.

But since she could not defeat Li Shuang, she would take everything from her instead.

That, too, was a kind of victory.

The formation was now complete, and strong spiritual power spun around the two places where they stood.

It spun faster and faster, almost like a tornado.

Ye Zhao Zhao’s heart grew more and more excited.

Soon.

Very soon.

Her fight with Li Shuang would reach its end.

Inside the Sword Spirit Space, Long Yan stared hard at Li Shuang.

His feelings toward Li Shuang were complicated.

He felt hate and anger, and also a trace of regret he could not name.

But she was about to die.

Long Yan even felt a hint of relief. [Death ends all trouble.]

If he had stayed by Li Shuang’s side, wouldn’t he die with her?

So he felt certain that leaving Li Shuang and choosing Ye Zhao Zhao was the right choice.

He had not chosen wrong.

He had definitely not chosen wrong.

Outside the Devil-Expelling Formation, a bit of hope showed on the faces of Shen Yue and Chang Le An.

As long as Li Shuang died, and died as someone of the Devil Path, they would no longer carry a moral burden.

From then on, they could walk with heads held high.

Sheng Yuan clutched his head in pain and muttered again and again: “First Senior Sister will not be of the Devil Path, will not be of the Devil Path.”

He did not know why things had turned out like this.

He remembered nothing, but faintly felt that what was happening was related to him.

He had wanted Li Shuang to regret her choices.

But he had never wanted her to die.

And now, what could he change?

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the Devil-Expelling Formation.

Luo Ming Yue slowly clenched her fist and said under her breath: “Junior Sister will be fine.”

They all knew Li Shuang could not be of the Devil Path.

Now it was a matter of whether Li Shuang could expose the plot behind this and prove her innocence. [Little Shuang asked for the Devil-Expelling Formation herself; she must have a way, right?]

Yan Fan’s gaze grew heavy.

He did not believe for a moment that Li Shuang had anything to do with the Devil Path.

She was the one he had chosen as his future right hand.

Li Shuang, among the young disciples of this generation, only you can match me; do not let me down.

Under everyone’s gaze, the spinning spiritual power in the sky moved faster and faster until it formed a huge vortex.

Thunder faintly gathered within that vortex.

Ming Yan spoke coldly: “The spiritual power of the six Tribulation Crossing Stage experts, joined with the strength of a Thunderstone, will send lightning from the sky straight at the Devil Path. Even a Devil Path cultivator at the Tribulation Crossing Stage will end with a scattered soul beneath such power.”

Li Shuang was as good as dead.

In the sky, the breath of thunder grew thicker.

Ye Zhao Zhao looked up and shivered for no reason.

The scene made her think of the day at the Heart-Inquiry Platform.

On that day too, thunder fell and made her suffer.

The System’s voice sounded, filled with disdain, as it said: “Host, why are you panicking? This time the lightning will go only after demonic energy. The one being punished will be Li Shuang. Calm down and don’t embarrass me.”

Ye Zhao Zhao forced herself to calm down.

Yes.

Before, she had been judged in front of everyone.

This time, it was Li Shuang.

This must be karma; what goes around comes around.

[Li Shuang, our entanglement ends here.]

Ye Zhao Zhao looked at Li Shuang with a calm face.

She waited for the lightning to fall.

She waited for Li Shuang to be burned to ash.

After that, Li Shuang’s flesh and soul would become her nourishment, feeding her steps toward the peak.

Yun Qing Yu glanced at the sky and said softly: “It’s here. The Power of Thunder is about to fall.”

Meng Yi Fei stared at Li Shuang, a little tense.

Right now, demonic energy still coiled around Li Shuang.

They knew Li Shuang had been framed.

But could this Devil-Expelling Formation really tell the truth?

Yan Zhong He chuckled and said: “Sect Master Meng, there’s no need to be so tense. Heavenly lightning descends to destroy the Devil Path. This will help your Sword Sect set things right. You should be thankful.”

Meng Yi Fei ignored him and kept his eyes fixed on the thunder.

Inside the vortex, the Devil Extinguishing Thunder finally finished forming.

Ye Zhao Zhao trembled all over with excitement.

Li Shuang glanced at her, and a strange smile touched her lips.

Today would indeed bring an end.

She had drawn Ye Zhao Zhao into the trap on purpose, so that Ye Zhao Zhao would have nowhere to run.
