When the monk stepped into the city once more, what he saw was a ground covered in blood, some from demons, some from humans.
Even more were scattered broken corpses!
A massive golden lion lay crouched in the central square of the city. Around it rose a mountain built entirely from endless mangled corpses.
A demon king whose body measured dozens of zhang tall was pinned beneath one of the golden lion’s paws on the pile of corpses. No matter how fiercely he struggled, it was futile. He could not break free even a little.
At this moment, the demon king was drenched in blood, half his body shattered beyond repair. His aura flickered like a dying thread, and his face was filled with sheer terror.
“Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap…”
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps rang out, instantly drawing the demon king’s gaze.
He immediately looked ahead and saw a middle-aged monk dressed in plain monastic robes, one hand held before his chest. The monk walked slowly from the distance, stepping through pools of sticky blood.
Although he trod upon the viscous blood, the monk’s bare feet remained completely unstained.
“Demon monk!”
“How dare you scheme against this king?!”
The demon king roared, appearing extremely agitated.
How could he not see now that this monk was together with the massive golden lion on his body?
“Smack!”
Yet the moment his words left his mouth, a claw from the golden lion behind him struck down. With a “puff” sound, the demon king’s entire right arm tore free from his body and flew far away.
“Ahhh!!”
The demon king screamed, his voice filled with extreme misery.
“This king is a demon king of Moon Gazing Valley! How dare you treat me this way?”
The demon king roared repeatedly. Fear filled his heart, but so did rage.
“You had better release this king, otherwise my clan’s Holy King will never…”
Before the demon king could finish speaking, the golden lion bit down and tore off his head, then swallowed it whole.
“He is clearly about to die, yet he still shouts threats at us!”
“I have seen stupid demons, but never one this stupid!”
Sorry, there was an error loading the chapter content. We were unable to successfully load the chapter or refresh the page.
The golden lion grumbled and cursed, then opened its mouth again and sucked in. A golden demon core immediately flew out from the demon king’s corpse.
However, before the demon core could enter the lion’s mouth, the monk in the distance beckoned with his hand and took it away.
“This poor monk’s recently refined ancient supreme treasure still lacks a few pills, so this demon core belongs to this poor monk.”
The monk spoke as though it were only natural. He then pressed the demon core against the Buddhist chain on his chest. Instantly, the demon core transformed into one of the Buddhist beads on the chain!
“You…!!”
The Lion Dharma Protector opened his mouth, a million curses ready on his tongue, but in the end he could not say them. He merely gave a cold snort, then buried his head and resumed “eating”, deciding that out of sight was out of mind.
When the monk saw this, he frowned slightly. His gaze swept over the human corpses on the ground, and he sighed, “This poor monk asked you to deliver the evil demons. Why did you kill these human refugees?”
“Monk, do not slander me!”
“This Dharma Protector merely saw that they were living in too much pain, so I conveniently delivered them. In a way, this Dharma Protector did a good deed!”
The Lion Dharma Protector curled his lip.
“Amitabha!”
These words from the Lion Dharma Protector caused the monk’s eyes to brighten. He immediately pressed his palms together, chanted a Buddhist name, then smiled and said, “Lion Dharma Protector, it seems you have already comprehended a portion of Buddhist teachings. Truly worthy of celebration!”
“Monk, can you stop being so disgusting?”
“You are not even human, Lion Dharma Protector. Have you forgotten your own roots?”
“…But earlier you said all sentient beings are equal?”
“This poor monk says you are not human, so you are not human!”
“You…!!”
Veins bulged on the Lion Dharma Protector’s face. He desperately wanted to slap this disgusting monk to death with one paw!
Whether this monk was human or not, he did not know. But he was truly a dog!
Not long after, the monk and the golden lion rose into the air and flew straight towards the Demon Spirit Mountain Range!
Black Wind Mountain.
The moment Mo Fan and the three demons landed on the ground, they immediately sensed a thick surge of intense demonic qi approaching rapidly from the east.
“It seems Granny was right. These fellows really did come back!”
Mo Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked up towards the eastern sky.
This time, he did not even need divine sense to clearly see the vast demon cloud swiftly drifting over from the horizon.
Soon, the demon cloud once again enveloped Black Wind Mountain.
“Where did these evil demons come from, daring to cause trouble on my Black Wind Mountain?!”
This time, Mo Fan did not hold back. He chose to strike directly!
Divine ability, King’s Hand!
Mo Fan extended his right hand. His entire right arm grew visibly larger in the wind. In an instant, it transformed into a hundred-zhang giant hand that blotted out the sky and slammed fiercely towards the demon cloud!
Rumble…
As the giant hand swung, a terrifying sound echoed through the void, as if the entire sky might be smashed open by this single strike.
King’s Hand was one of the two divine abilities Mo Fan had obtained from the ox-headed demon ancestor. It could enlarge one hand to a hundred zhang while unleashing twice the terrifying power!
In addition, there was another divine ability called “Black King Divine Gang”, the ox-headed demon ancestor’s proudest technique.
Black King Divine Gang did not possess strong offensive power, but its defensive strength was unbelievably terrifying. It was also an Ancestral Realm divine ability. Its defence was so formidable that ordinary Ancestral Realm great demons could hardly break through it!
This was also the real reason the ox-headed demon ancestor had dared to challenge Sparrow Granny earlier. He simply never expected Sparrow Granny to disregard all common sense and strike with lethal intent from the start. A single immortal sword had severed the life from his physical body…
At this moment, Mo Fan swept his King’s Hand across the void, smashing ruthlessly towards the demon cloud!
If it had been before, he would still have hesitated and cared about many things. But now he had no worries at all. With Sparrow Granny sitting in command, as long as no demon Holy King personally appeared, he felt there would be no major problem.
And indeed, that was the case.
Sparrow Granny had already noticed this group of great demons from Moon Gazing Valley returning long ago. Seeing Mo Fan take action, she did not stop him.
She was only slightly surprised by Mo Fan’s divine ability, but she did not pay it much mind.
Among the demon race, divine abilities came in all sorts of unexpected forms. Some could copy others, some could seize bodies, and some could even give birth to many more abilities.
But for great demons, having more divine abilities did not necessarily make one stronger.
In the end, what mattered most was the divine ability that suited oneself best!
Some Ancestral Realm great demons, once they comprehended an Ancestral Realm divine ability, could completely dominate others of the same realm!
This was precisely why, even within the same realm, the strength gap between many demon ancestors could be enormous.
“A mere demon king dares to strike at this ancestor?”
“What audacity!!”
Atop the demon cloud, the Ink Blade Demon Ancestor was furious. He never expected that the moment he returned to this mountain, a demon cultivator would dare attack him.
At first he thought it was that old black ox from Giant Spirit Mountain. But when his divine sense swept over, he realised it was actually that previous local demon king.
How could he not be enraged?
Swoosh!
A blade of light flashed, transforming into a black crescent moon that shot straight towards the towering giant hand.
The black crescent grew larger and larger. The terrifying aura it released caused faint ripples in the void, as though it intended to cleave the entire sky apart. Many of the great demons below could not help but break into a cold sweat for Mo Fan.
Yet Mo Fan remained completely unmoved.
Divine ability, Black King Divine Gang!
Buzz…
In an instant, a layer of dark light appeared on the towering giant hand.
Clang!!
Finally, the black crescent struck the dark light, erupting in brilliant flames, yet it failed to break through.
The Ink Blade Demon Ancestor’s pupils shrank sharply!
He immediately swung another blade!
Pop…
At last, after enduring for several breaths, the dark light shattered.
Just as the Ink Blade Demon Ancestor grinned ferociously, expecting to see Mo Fan’s right hand ruined, a sudden burst of golden light emerged on that hand once again, blocking his blade light!
“A mere demon ancestor, nothing more!”
“With only this much ability, you still dare to bark in front of this king?”
“All of you, get down here!!”
