Mo Fan fought more and more fiercely, while Jiang Wu’s condition grew worse by the second. He weakened drastically and finally felt a chill in his heart. He was truly terrified.
He realised that if the fight continued, he would really die at the hands of this monster.
So he stopped hiding, immediately took out a golden talisman and stuck it to his body. His whole figure instantly turned into a streak of golden light and vanished in a flash!
In just a moment, Jiang Wu completely disappeared from Mo Fan’s sight, leaving even him stunned.
“Damn it, running away when you can’t win? What kind of hero does that make you?”
“You’ve thrown away all the face of righteous path cultivators!”
Mo Fan cursed loudly, but there was nothing he could do. He suspected that talisman was very likely an earth-grade one. The speed it unleashed was simply too astonishing. Even he could only watch helplessly as the other party vanished before his eyes.
Still, Mo Fan was not overly surprised that someone like Jiang Wu possessed such a life-saving trump card.
After all, the man was a personal disciple of Tianlu Sacred Land. It was normal for him to have a few protective measures.
Earlier, Mo Fan had wanted to devour Jiang Wu first, but unfortunately the man’s vigilance was too high. He had never let the Life-Death Poison enter his body, leaving Mo Fan somewhat frustrated. In the end, he could only choose the bolder and less cautious Ghost Wood to swallow.
By comparison, Ghost Wood was far stupider than Jiang Wu. Thinking his cultivation profound, he had not guarded against Mo Fan at all. That was how Mo Fan’s chain of divine abilities stunned him completely, leading to his final end inside Mo Fan’s stomach.
Ghost Wood’s feedback only added a little extra to Mo Fan’s spiritual liquid sea, which left Mo Fan rather speechless.
After devouring so many cultivators, he could clearly sense that his spiritual cultivation was now very close to breaking through to mid Core Formation.
As for demonic cultivation, he was only half a step away from the Demon King realm.
Yet that half step was like a heavenly chasm, impossible to cross.
“Do I really have to devour a Demon Ancestor to break through to Demon King?”
Mo Fan felt troubled. He glared hatefully in the direction Jiang Wu had fled, then turned around. He discovered that the Corpse Yin Sect disciples were still desperately maintaining the array, though all of them looked extremely grim.
A murderous glint flashed in Mo Fan’s eyes.
These demonic cultivators had never been his original targets, but who asked them to collude with Jiang Wu?
The enemy of my enemy is a friend, but the friend of my enemy is also an enemy!
Mo Fan understood this principle perfectly.
Now that he had devoured Ghost Wood right in front of them, if he did not deal with all these people too, they would surely cause him no end of trouble later.
With that thought, Mo Fan flew straight towards them. He landed before one disciple and beamed brightly. “Fellow Daoist, I see maintaining this array has been hard on you. How about this king lends you a hand?”
The demonic cultivator sat cross-legged on the ground, hands forming seals as he continuously poured demonic qi into the grand array ahead to keep it running normally.
After watching Mo Fan swallow Ghost Wood, he had already been scared out of his wits, yet he also knew he could not withdraw now. If he did, once the terrifying Demon King inside broke free, they would all die!
Thus the dramatic scene unfolded.
Mo Fan’s calm words made the cultivator tremble all over. His scalp went numb, and he forced a smile uglier than crying. “Senior, I am willing to submit to you and become your servant. Please spare my life!”
“Oh dear! What are you saying?”
“It makes this king sound like some great demon!”
Mo Fan frowned, then leaned close to the cultivator’s ear and said softly, “Do I look like a great demon to you, such a kind-hearted yao?”
With that, he opened his mouth slightly, revealing a full set of sharp fangs.
At the sight, the cultivator promptly fainted.
“Uh… can’t even handle a little scare?”
Mo Fan shook his head helplessly. He had no choice but to swallow him, granting the man a dignified end.
Once one demonic cultivator died, the array immediately grew unstable. The faces of the others turned utterly wretched, all showing despair.
“Interesting. At this point, you still refuse to give up maintaining the array. Is some peerless great demon trapped inside?”
Looking at the surrounding cultivators gritting their teeth and holding on, a glint flashed in Mo Fan’s eyes. He stared at the trapping array before him with a trace of curiosity.
Then he approached another demonic cultivator and asked, “Fellow Daoist, can you tell me what terrifying existence is trapped inside?”
“S-Senior, spare me! Inside is a snake demon!”
The cultivator stammered, his face filled with terror.
“Snake demon?”
Mo Fan frowned, then nodded and grinned. “You’re a good man. How about I send you to meet your martial brother Ghost Wood?”
Without waiting for agreement, he swallowed the man whole…
The sight made cold sweat pour from the foreheads of the remaining dozen or so cultivators, as if they had been caught in a rainstorm.
“Fellow Daoist, do you think this king is evil?”
Mo Fan approached yet another cultivator, trying his best to look benevolent as he smiled and asked.
“Ah… I can’t take it anymore!!”
The cultivator suddenly roared, immediately withdrew his technique, slapped the ground, and a coffin board shot out from the soil. It carried him fleeing into the distance.
At the same time, the rest of the cultivators abandoned the array and scattered in all directions!
Are you kidding? They had finally realised that if they kept this up, every single one of them would be eaten by that devil!
Who the hell could endure that?
Dead either way, better to run first. With luck, they might survive!
“You’ve all broken my heart!”
Mo Fan let out a soft sigh, then light bloomed from his brow as tiger patterns emerged.
“Kill these fellows!”
“Leave none alive!”
As Mo Fan’s calm voice rang out, clumps of ghost mist flew from his brow, chasing after the fleeing cultivators.
Meanwhile, Mo Fan looked at the grand array before him. Without the demonic qi from those cultivators to stabilise it, the array finally grew chaotic. Soon, with a massive boom, it shattered completely!
“Roar!”
“Roar…!!”
The instant the array broke, countless corpse roars echoed from within. Mo Fan’s eyes narrowed.
Could some peerless demonic monster really be trapped inside?
But at that moment, Mo Fan’s pupils widened. A familiar graceful white figure reflected deep in his eyes!
Dozens of zombie-like corpse demons attacked the white figure relentlessly, nearly submerging her completely!
“Tian Tian!”
Mo Fan let out a startled cry. Dazzling thunder light exploded from his body, and he vanished from the spot.
“Roar roar roar…!!”
Mo Fan’s arrival drew some corpse demons to pounce at him.
These corpse demons were massive, covered in long fur, with bronze skin and iron bones. Each possessed boundless strength, nearly comparable to peak Foundation Establishment body cultivators.
Yet before the enraged Mo Fan, they were like paper. One punch exploded one into bloody mist mid-air!
At this moment, Mo Fan was like a humanoid true dragon. Black dragon scales covered his skin. He ignored the corpse demons’ attacks completely, weaving through them. Wherever he passed, no corpse demon remained intact.
“Mo Fan!”
From not far away, the white figure also saw him. Joy flashed in her eyes. She immediately sacrificed a great seal that grew mountain-sized in the air and slammed downward!
Boom boom boom boom…!!
The previously arrogant horde of corpse demons exploded collectively in an instant!
In mere moments, every corpse demon lay dead!
The two figures finally reunited. They looked at each other and smiled. Though no words were spoken, it was worth more than a thousand words…
