The Villain Saint is my secondary account

The overwhelming malevolent energy coalesced into an invisible storm, causing the sky and earth to change color. The dark clouds above condensed into a towering vortex, as if it were about to fall from the night sky at any moment.

Upon witnessing this horrifying scene, the rebels turned pale and involuntarily took two steps back.

Only Ye Xiao, dressed in a black trench coat, stood unmoved as the thousands of extraordinary demons rushed towards him, his left hand resting on the hilt of his sword.

As Ella watched the flashback, she was surprised by Ye Xiao's calm demeanor and wondered when she had become so cool.

You should know that in her previous life's memories, even a random dog that ran out here would have made her run away with her tail between her legs, but here she was able to stand up to thousands of extraordinary beings without changing her expression.

"Without those other annoying pests, do you think you can stir up any trouble?"

The witch Ella walked with a light step, her deep red and alluring eyes fixed on Ye Xiao, who remained expressionless.

However, facing the overwhelming pressure from the world-destroying witch, Ye Xiao merely curled the corner of his mouth indifferently, "It doesn't matter, I alone am enough to deal with you."

"Ha, do you think I'll make the same stupid mistake as last time? This time, those annoying insects won't be able to corner me. Instead, I'll crush your soul completely!"

The girl's last sentence seemed to be filled with boundless hatred. Her slender hand clenched fiercely, and dark divine power immediately wrapped around her right arm as if it were tangible.

Flesh and blood proliferated, and countless fine tentacles emerged from her hands, weaving and intertwining into a huge, pitch-black scythe.

Even from the perspective of a mere observer, Ella could clearly feel the terrifying power emanating from the body she remembered.

A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, blood-red lightning ripped through the night, and fell from the sky onto the blade in her hand.

The immense magical power was gathered and compressed into the blade, and the fine arcs of electricity even caused the space around the blade to appear to be torn apart by black disturbances.

Immediately afterwards, the witch Ella swung her sword, a deep red arc cleaving the earth and splitting everything in sight in two.

Ella had no doubt that this slash from the witch Ella could probably split the entire holy city in two.

And looking at "Ye Xiao" again, he was still standing motionless in front of the square, completely dumbfounded.

If she weren't just a bystander, Ella would have rushed over and slapped Ye Xiao on the forehead, asking him why he didn't dodge.

Let alone Ye Xiao, the grandmaster of the old days, even if Ella were to encounter this sword and not dodge, she would be cut in half without being able to put up any resistance.

The blade's light, like a crescent moon rising from the ground, tore through the plaza and reached Ye Xiao directly in front of him.

But Ye Xiao, standing in front of the rebels, simply tapped the hilt of his sword with his thumb and spoke softly.

"Stand behind me, everyone."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a sideways stance and drew his sword.

A flash of cold light, and an inconspicuous blade of light struck the crimson, moon-like arc.

The next moment, the earth shook, and a deafening roar resounded throughout the entire holy city.

The unstoppable crimson blade light was actually shattered by Leng Sheng, and the dissipated aftershocks transformed into two fan-shaped hurricanes, which blew down the already crumbling buildings in the surrounding area into flying pebbles.

The rebels formed a triangular formation behind Ye Xiao, while the streets on both sides of them had been razed to the ground in the previous instant.

It's blocked?

Ella stared in disbelief at Ye Xiao, who was wielding his sword with effortless grace amidst the sandstorm, her mind filled with shock.

Is this real? Is this Ye Xiao really her?

Keep in mind that Ye Xiao didn't have Ella's divine power, yet he was able to block a strike from the late-game witch Ella using only his pure sword skills.

How can this be? ? ?

Chapter Forty-Eight: The Cycle of Pursuit

This scene seemed to surprise both the witch Ella and the bystander Ella.

She gripped the sickle tighter, gritting her teeth as she uttered a few syllables.

"You actually... what gives you the right?! You're just a mortal!!"

"So what if you're just a mortal? Don't underestimate a mortal's determination to kill you."

Ye Xiao slowly raised his long sword, the tip pointing at the girl's face, which was filled with anger.

“You eliminated the other Saint-level beings ahead of time, which did catch me off guard.”

"But I just said, I'm enough to deal with you on my own."

Seeing the overwhelming aura emanating from Ye Xiao, Ella, who was watching from the sidelines, was so astonished that she was speechless.

She always felt that her swordsmanship talent was actually not that great. After all, even with a lot of universal points in this life, she was still stuck at the Grandmaster level and had not been able to break through.

Even though her proficiency in several of her elemental mage skills was beginning to show signs of breaking through to the extraordinary level, her sword skills had not improved at all, even though she practiced every day.

But the Ye Xiao in her memories was completely beyond her comprehension.

If I remember correctly, the later version of the witch Ella was a Mythic-rank, the only Mythic-rank character after the New Age of Gods who could unleash her full power in the real world.

And this Ye Xiao was actually able to fight her one-on-one with just swordsmanship?

A great battle was about to break out, and tens of thousands of rebels roared as they faced the monsters rushing towards them in the square.

Ye Xiao then flashed into the air, leaping up and slashing at the witch Ella with his sword.

Just as Ella was about to observe and see how things would proceed, the scene before her eyes suddenly froze.

It remained motionless, like a videotape stuck.

Wait, what's going on now?

Ella was a little anxious. She wanted to see Ye Xiao, who had reached the Mythical Rank solely through swordsmanship, beat up the World Destroyer Witch (herself). She was willing to learn even a little bit of technique from him.

However, as her thoughts became chaotic, the image shattered, breaking into countless pieces like glass.

Each piece depicts a different scene, some in fast motion and some in slow motion, some clear and some blurry, creating a dazzling spectacle.

Before Ella could even make out the contents of some of the fragments, they suddenly coalesced into a vortex and began to spin wildly, like a suction cup pulling Ella's consciousness in.

After a brief period of darkness, light returned to the field of vision.

Just when Ella thought her memory regression had ended, what appeared before her was a huge palace burning in the flames of war.

Loren Palace...?

Ella quickly recognized the scene before her. Although it was stained red with floating corpses and filthy blood, the waterfall that flowed from the floor of the main hall out of the cliff was still very distinctive.

Why am I here again?

Ella lowered her head helplessly, only to see a prince with a blood-covered face leaning against the throne, holding a crown with his hand that only had two fingers left, and tremblingly handing it to her.

"No...don't kill me...the throne, the palace...I'll give you anything you want!"

"Don't be so afraid, I don't need your throne."

Ella looked at herself and gently bent down, then reached out and pinched the prince's chin, her tone flippant, "I will let you continue to be the emperor you want to be, but I hope you understand in your heart who you should listen to from now on."

Oh, so this is the memory of the world-destroying witch secretly seizing the throne?

As Ella was observing and pondering, she suddenly saw her body dart to the side.

A blade of light ripped through the hall, splitting the throne and the half-dead prince on the ground in two.

Ella looked to the side and saw a tall, thin man in a trench coat walking menacingly toward the entrance of the hall, carrying a long sword.

“It’s you again!!!”

As Ella watched the other person's figure, she felt like she was about to break her teeth.

As for the person who came, it was naturally Ye Xiao again.

"If you can think of killing me in advance, then of course I can kill you in advance as well."

Ye Xiao's voice was cold, and behind him, Li Cheng and other members of the Seven Stars Society appeared one after another, carrying knives and guns.

"I'd like to see if you can go back in time this time!"

"Damn it!"

With a flick of her wrist, the witch Ella sent a giant tentacle bursting through the ground and hurtling toward Ye Xiao.

However, a flash of cold light followed immediately, and the tentacle was cleaved into pieces almost instantly.

"How can it be!?"

The witch Ella exclaimed in surprise. It was the first time Ella had ever heard fear and panic in her voice.

"How could you possibly become a grandmaster at this point?!"

"I have to thank you, you beast, for giving me such an unforgettable memory!!!"

Ye Xiao roared and instantly appeared in front of the witch Ella.

The witch Ella raised her hand and summoned countless tentacles to defend herself, but they were no match for Ye Xiao's single strike.

The blade fell, severing the tentacles and Ella's arm in the process, splattering blood onto the luxurious marble floor.

"what!!!"

Ouch, that hurts!

Ella, an observer, never expected that the witch Ella's senses were actually connected to hers. As the witch Ella's arm was severed by Ye Xiao, she also felt that excruciating pain.

However, the witch Ella reacted more strongly, clutching the severed wound on her shoulder and letting out a shrill scream as she tumbled and fled toward the side hall in a disheveled state.

"Kill her now!! Don't let her get away!!!"

As soon as Ye Xiao gave the order, the members of the Seven Stars Society raised their muskets and opened fire in the direction the witch Ella was fleeing.

The witch Ella, covered in blood, let out a shrill howl, the floor churned, tiles shattered, and countless black tentacles sprouted out like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Countless tentacles, like surging waves, blocked Ye Xiao's pursuit. His eyes glared angrily, and with a roar of his full strength, he unleashed a powerful blade aura that instantly severed the tentacles that covered half of the palace.

The witch Ella's fleeing figure appeared around the corner, but just as Ye Xiao was about to chase after her, Li Cheng beside him made a mistake and his ankle was pierced by a tentacle. Instantly, he was dragged to the cliff outside the palace like a skewer of meat.

"what!!!"

Li Cheng instinctively cried out in panic for help. Outside was a cliff thousands of meters high; if the tentacles were to throw him off, he would surely be smashed to pieces.

At the critical moment, Ye Xiao rushed up and severed the tentacles with a single slash, grabbed Li Cheng's hand and dragged him back into the hall from the edge of the cliff. But when they looked back at the side hall, the witch Ella had already disappeared.

"What are you waiting for? Chase after them!!!"

After rescuing Li Cheng, Ye Xiao threw him to the floor, looked up and roared angrily. The surrounding members immediately ran in all directions to search for the witch's whereabouts.

But what he didn't expect was that in the collapsed floorboards beneath his feet, the witch Ella hid her figure in a patch of mud, with only her crimson pupils peeking out from the cracks in the stones, staring intently at his face.

Chapter Forty-Nine: Gazing into the Abyss

Tsk tsk, it's rare to see the witch Ella in such a sorry state.

Despite having lost an arm, Ella, who was watching from the sidelines, was still gloating.

It's just that he was forced into this situation by himself as Ye Xiao, and I don't know if it's true or not.

At this moment, the witch Ella was unable to heal her injuries and could only cower in the mud in pain, watching Ye Xiao, who was pacing back and forth with murderous intent, above her.

"I can't find him, Brother Ye... It seems like he's run away."

As Ella watched the Seven Stars Society members return, panting, to report to Ye Xiao, she couldn't help but feel a strange unease about the atmosphere.

"……Ah."

Ye Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. "I understand."

Li Cheng stood up unsteadily, giving a rather awkward, embarrassed smile. "I'm sorry, Brother Ye... it's all because of me..."

"You fucking know that?!???"

A roar stunned not only Li Cheng, but also Ella, who was watching from below.

But then Ye Xiao suddenly grabbed Li Cheng by the collar and slammed him to the ground without any mercy.

"Do you know how difficult it will be to kill that beast again if you miss this chance?!"

"Do you know how much I sacrificed for this day?! Because of your stupid mistake, I really... I really should have killed you!!!"

Hey, is it really that bad? Li Cheng is a good brother, isn't this going a bit too far?

Ella's lips twitched as she watched. She thought to herself that she had always been a pretty mild-mannered person, but Ye Xiao in front of her was so irritable that he was completely unlike her.

No, I don't agree. This isn't me.

Ella, who had been observing the situation, chose to separate from the volatile Ye Xiaosheng.
