Seeing how shocked he was, the corner of Shen Yue’s mouth curled up.
"Does it matter who you are? I’ll find out everything I need to know sooner or later."
"But either way, you’re a dead man!"
’After all, he’s useless now.’
She had a good idea now. This man in black was just one of many who had chased her from the Spirit Realm.
Her true enemies numbered in the tens of thousands.
They were the ones hiding in the shadows, who had yet to reveal themselves.
The man in black’s only value had been to help her break the seal, allowing her to fully integrate the power within her body and gain the ability to protect herself.
And now, she had successfully completed her plan.
Next, she had to find the other six Divine Halls and awaken the Guardian Beasts sealed beneath them.
The person in her dream had told her that the power of the seven great Guardian Beasts was complementary to her own Vitality Power, and that together, they were the key to stopping the coming disaster.
This was why she had gone to such great lengths, concealing her true intentions and deliberately getting herself exiled to Wilderness Mountain.
All to find the Divine Hall and awaken its Guardian God.
That was why, back when she had amnesia, she could never figure out why her past self had planned all this just to come to Wilderness Mountain.
She hadn’t been wrong, either. This was her original purpose all along.
Hearing this, the man in black on the ground felt a jolt of alarm.
"What are you doing? Are you going to kill me?"
Shen Yue nodded nonchalantly.
"That’s right."
"Didn’t I just say I was going to kill you?"
’Whether before I regained my memories or now, this man in black had to die!’
She, Shen Yue, was never one to be ordered around.
For over a decade, the fear he instilled in her had loomed over her life day and night.
Today, it was time to repay him in kind.
When she first learned of the immense power hidden within her and that the man in black wanted to seize it, she had made a risky gambit, using herself as bait to draw him out.
Her gamble had paid off. The power was truly vast and unfathomable.
No wonder these people coveted it so much, watching her relentlessly for over a decade.
A trace of fear finally crept into the man in black’s heart.
"If you kill me, you’ll never learn the truth of your birth and origins! You’d better think this through!"
"Don’t you want to know where you come from? Why you possess such incredible power? Or who exactly wants you dead?"
He seemed to be making a bet.
Betting that Shen Yue would spare him for the sake of learning the truth about her past.
But to his surprise, Shen Yue was completely unfazed.
"You don’t need to worry about that. I’ll find out on my own."
"As for you, you should have died long ago!"
As she spoke, her brow furrowed, and she gave the man in black no time to react.
At her mere thought, power surged from her body and seized him by the neck.
The man in black was pinned tightly to the ground.
The overwhelming feeling of death and suffocation instantly filled him.
He struggled in agony on the ground, his eyes bulging from the pressure of the force.
The air in his lungs grew scarcer and scarcer.
He could even feel his Spiritual Core being shattered the moment Shen Yue’s power seized him.
He tried to scream in agony, but the chokehold on his throat prevented any sound from escaping.
Like a man with his limbs bound, he could only writhe on the ground, trembling in pain.
Shen Yue hadn’t expected to be so proficient with this power on her first try. With just a slight exertion, she had destroyed the man in black’s Spiritual Core.
She narrowed her eyes, looking at the man in black on the floor, who was now whimpering, his head drenched in a cold sweat from the pain.
"It’s your turn to taste this kind of excruciating pain!"
After all, the pain she’d endured when he snapped her spine and crushed her soul space had been ten, no, a hundred times worse than this. On the ground, the man in black felt death’s approach.
Trembling in agony, his fear of Shen Yue instantly peaked.
He could feel it.
This woman was truly going to kill him.
He clutched his throat, choking so hard he couldn’t speak, but he managed to force out some words.
"Shen Yue, you... you can’t kill me!"
He couldn’t worry about anything else.
