Mo Fan’s loud shout caused the faces of the pursuing Sword-Brush Alliance disciples to change in unison.
“How bold!”
“Damn it!!”
“Ignorant demon!!”
“…”
The cultivators were furious. Two sword cultivators, flying on their swords, suddenly accelerated, streaking like beams of light, closing in on Mo Fan.
“Well, damn, are they trying to go all out with this general?!”
Mo Fan, startled, pushed his demonic energy to the limit and fled towards the Black Water River.
“You so-called human cultivators, losing your composure over a few words? In my eyes, your mental cultivation is pathetic. You’ll never achieve greatness in this lifetime!”
Mo Fan, relentless, continued his “mouth escape technique” on the group.
“Swish!”
As his words fell, a piercing sound rang out, followed by a flying sword hurtling towards him.
“Here it comes!”
Mo Fan laughed, opening his mouth to swallow the sword.
“Thank you, friend, for the treasure. How generous!”
“Feel free to keep sending treasures, friends. I’ll take them all!”
Mo Fan laughed heartily, then turned and fled.
His audacious tactics left He Feifei, by his side, dumbfounded.
She was starting to realise that Lai Bao wasn’t just boasting—he was truly formidable…
“Damn it!!”
“Bastard!!”
“Demon, don’t get cocky!”
The cultivators were livid. An older sword cultivator, however, remained calm and sneered, “Junior brothers, don’t lose your cool. Don’t let this beast ruin your mental state.
“He’s just relying on his supernatural powers to show off. Since flying swords won’t work, we’ll use close-combat sword techniques to kill him!”
“Senior Brother Wang speaks wisely!”
“We’ll follow Senior Brother. Today, we’ll slay this demon!”
The cultivators, filled with righteous anger, followed Senior Brother Wang’s lead, each affixing a talisman to themselves.
The next moment, their flying speed doubled, moving like fleeting shadows across the sky.
“What kind of talisman is this, with such terrifying speed?!”
Mo Fan’s eyes widened. The Black Water River was still some distance away, but the three sword cultivators were already closing in.
“Demon, you’ll pay for mocking us!”
“Clang!”
A sword cry rang out as a sword light erupted from ten zhang away, slashing towards Mo Fan’s head!
Before the light reached him, its sharp aura locked onto the two demons in the black cloud, causing Mo Fan to frown, his skin feeling as if it were being sliced by knives.
“What a sharp sword intent!”
Mo Fan was shocked, recognising it as a form of intent, as he realised his body hadn’t taken actual damage.
The sword hadn’t arrived, but its intent had!
“No matter your sword intent or sword qi, I’ll smash it with one brick!”
Mo Fan snorted coldly, spitting out his golden brick, which expanded to two zhang, shielding his head.
“Clang!!”
The next moment, the brick trembled violently, emitting a deafening sound. A massive force surged from it, shaking Mo Fan’s ears and forcing him to brace with both hands.
“What terrifying power. Is this a human sword cultivator?”
Feeling the force from the brick, Mo Fan was somewhat surprised.
He had always thought human body cultivators were the strongest in terms of power, but now it seemed sword cultivators were no less formidable. The might of that sword strike was at least eighty thousand jin!
What was more terrifying wasn’t the sheer force but the shocking vibration and penetration.
After that strike, Mo Fan felt the force coming in waves, eroding the brick like ripples, causing his blood to churn.
“Fool seeking death! You think you can block Senior Brother Wang’s Great Wave Sword Technique?!”
“Demons are all stupid and ignorant. They can’t comprehend the terror of Senior Brother Wang’s sword technique. He’ll be shaken to death!”
The two sword cultivators beside Senior Brother Wang sneered, subtly flattering him.
“Senior Brother Wang, once you take down this demon general, your status in the sect will rise further. More resources will come your way, and becoming a core disciple is within reach. Don’t forget us junior brothers then!” the two said, implying they wouldn’t compete for the credit.
“Rest assured, I, Wang, have my own sense of fairness. Junior brothers, help me take down this demon first!”
Senior Brother Wang’s eyes gleamed as he spoke calmly.
“Senior Brother is right!”
The two nodded, each unleashing their sword techniques, slashing at Mo Fan.
In an instant, sword lights flashed, and sword qi crisscrossed relentlessly, striking the brick above Mo Fan’s head, numbing his arms.
Forced to withstand the trio’s attacks, Mo Fan’s flying speed slowed, allowing the pursuing cultivators to close in.
“We’ll assist the three senior brothers!!”
Soon, more cultivators joined in. Having heard from the three sword cultivators not to use artifacts lightly, lest the demon seize them, they unleashed spells instead, their power considerable. The onslaught shook Mo Fan, reopening his barely healed chest wound, blood staining his clothes and trickling from his mouth.
“Damn it!”
Mo Fan gritted his teeth, not expecting the combined might of these cultivators to be so terrifying.
Without the brick, he’d likely have been obliterated. Even so, this wasn’t sustainable—he had to escape!
His expression shifted, and demonic energy surged, forming a vast black mist that enveloped the opposing cultivators.
He then activated his poison pearl, releasing venom into the mist, spreading towards them.
Supernatural power, External Golden Body!
Buzz—
Mo Fan felt half his demonic energy drain away. A massive golden figure appeared outside his body.
Without looking, he could sense it resembled him exactly!
“Go!”
Mo Fan roared, directing the golden body to attack the cultivators while he turned to flee.
He hadn’t gone far when screams echoed behind him. Several cultivators fell from their artifacts, turning into pools of black water before hitting the ground.
But more cultivators summoned light shields, like eggshells, protecting them from the poison as they continued their assault.
Boom!
When Mo Fan finally reached the Black Water River, a loud explosion came from behind, and he spat out another mouthful of blood, his connection to the golden body severed.
The external golden body had been destroyed!
“You bastards, come at me if you dare!!”
Mo Fan turned and roared, then flew deeper into the Black Water River. At its centre, he smashed his golden brick into the water!
Boom!!
The water exploded, waves surging over ten zhang high!
Mo Fan didn’t stop, repeating the action, smashing the brick into the water, causing the river to churn with massive waves.
“This is your so-called plan?”
He Feifei, stunned, said with a wry smile, “This won’t work. The Black Water River is vast. This is just a drop in the bucket!”
“It may not affect the entire river, but it’s enough to cause a stir. That’s my goal!”
Mo Fan grinned, opening his mouth to drop spirit stones into the river!
This was his true aim—to use spirit stones to lure out the so-called great demons!
“Ever heard the saying?”
“Money makes the ghosts turn the mill, let alone these mere demons!”
Mo Fan smirked, tossing over two thousand spirit stones in an instant.
The stones sank, forming a glowing treasure mound, radiating rich spiritual energy.
“Friends, you’re here for cultivation resources, right?
I’ve thrown my entire fortune here—twenty thousand spirit stones, enough for you to cultivate for a while. So, leave me be, or this general will fight to the death!!”
Mo Fan turned, shouting at the pursuing cultivators, then fled towards Black Wind Mountain without looking back.
“Demon, where do you think you’re going!!”
The cultivators, enraged, gave chase. But as they reached the area brimming with spiritual energy, they dove into the water.
As Mo Fan had said, they fought for resources. With such riches at hand, who would keep risking their lives?
“Damn it, you fools!!”
Senior Brother Wang, furious, ignored them and continued chasing Mo Fan.
