After killing the patrolling lesser demon, the black-robed demon hurriedly made his way up the mountain. But before he had gone a few miles, he was spotted by two more patrolling lesser demons.
“Hey! Where did this wild demon come from, daring to trespass on our Black Wind Mountain!”
“Quickly state your origin, or we’ll inform the General up the mountain to slay you!”
Though the black-robed demon had fully transformed into a spiritual form, shedding his beastly nature, he made no effort to conceal the dense demonic aura emanating from him. As a result, the two lesser demons immediately identified him.
Black Wind Mountain only had thirty to forty demons, with even fewer demon soldiers, making them easy to recognize. These two demons had never seen this black-robed figure before.
The black-robed demon was about to act but was startled by their words.
A General?
Could there really be a Demon General on Black Wind Mountain?
Didn’t the Second General say that Black Wind Mountain had already been razed by human cultivators? How could there still be a Demon General?
Though he wasn’t afraid of a Demon General, he only had the means to protect himself, not true fearlessness.
To verify the information about Black Wind Mountain, the black-robed demon’s eyes flickered, and he smiled at the two demons, “Brothers, don’t panic. I’m a demon from Phoenix Cry Mountain, here on the orders of the Holy King to pay a visit. I mean no harm.”
Phoenix Cry Mountain?
The two lesser demons exchanged glances. One of them frowned and asked the other, “Old Ox, have you ever heard of this Phoenix Cry Mountain?”
“Never heard of it. Must be some small place.”
The ox demon shook his head and sneered quietly, “The biggest demon force in our Demon Spirit Mountain Range is the Three Mountains, and the strongest demon there is just a Demon King. Where’s this so-called Holy King coming from?
In my opinion, this demon must be a spy from another mountain!”
“…”
The black-robed demon was instantly speechless.
He thought that invoking the name of Phoenix Cry Mountain and the Holy King would easily intimidate these two lesser demons. Who would’ve thought they were so ignorant that they didn’t even know of the renowned demon sanctuary, Phoenix Cry Mountain? It was both surprising and frustrating.
“Toad King has long given orders: any demon not native to Black Wind Mountain is to be considered an intruder!”
The ox demon snorted, glaring warily at the black-robed demon, then let out a loud bellow.
Seeing his identity exposed, the black-robed demon’s face turned ferocious. With a flash, he appeared before the ox demon, slashing its throat with a claw, blood spraying everywhere.
“How dare you!”
The other demon, witnessing this, was furious and shocked, but before it could finish speaking, the black-robed demon sent it to join the ox demon in death.
“Help!”
“A wild demon is climbing the mountain and killing demons!”
“Lame Ox and Crippled Sheep have been killed!”
At that moment, a sharp cry rang out from the distance.
The black-robed demon looked up and saw a bird demon in the air, having witnessed everything.
Cursing inwardly, a pair of fleshy wings sprouted from his back, and he shot into the sky, chasing after the bird demon.
“Toad King, save me!”
“Crane General, save me!”
Terrified, the bird demon turned and fled toward the mountain, shouting all the way, quickly drawing the attention of many demons to the intruder in the sky.
“Where did this wild demon come from, daring to cause trouble on Black Wind Mountain!”
A delicate shout rang out, followed by a surge of black mist rising into the air, chasing after the black-robed demon.
The black-robed demon’s eyelids twitched. He hadn’t expected Black Wind Mountain to actually have a Demon General!
“Great General, save me!”
The bird demon, crying, flew toward the mist, feeling as though it had narrowly escaped death.
“Sharp Cry, well done!”
“Hahaha, today you’ll earn the greatest merit!”
Another figure soared into the air, laughing joyfully as it rushed toward the black-robed demon.
“Captain, be careful. That evil demon is ferocious and has already killed many of our brothers!” the bird demon, named Sharp Cry, warned.
“No matter. It’s just a mere demon soldier. With Crane General’s intervention and this Lord Chirp assisting, he has no escape!”
Chirp laughed loudly and flew forward.
Though he was only at the demon soldier level, after surviving the last Three Mountains Trial, he had been reborn through blood and fire.
Having also comprehended a divine ability, he was even more fearless. At least among demon soldiers, he felt he was no weaker than others.
Having just met the returning Great Strength and Mister Pig, who spoke of this black-robed demon’s prowess, Chirp was eager to test its strength.
If he could defeat it, wouldn’t that prove he was now stronger than Great Strength and Mister Pig?
Crane Flyfly’s flight speed was already impressive, and now, riding the clouds, he was even faster than Mo Fan, quickly catching up to the fleeing black-robed demon.
“Stay!”
Crane Flyfly extended a hand, and a massive claw formed from demonic energy appeared, grabbing at the black-robed demon.
The claw terrified the black-robed demon, who desperately dodged left and right.
Though his speed was inferior to Crane Flyfly’s, his agility was greater. Despite the overwhelming demonic energy, Crane Flyfly couldn’t catch him for the moment.
“Grandson, stay for your grandpa!”
Chirp let out a strange laugh, suddenly unleashing his “Wind Rush” divine ability. His speed surged, reaching the black-robed demon in an instant.
“Swish!”
He opened his mouth, and a silver needle shot toward the black-robed demon!
“Ding!”
But the next moment, the black-robed demon wrapped himself in his wings, rendering Chirp’s needle-like artifact unable to pierce through, as if it had struck an iron plate.
“So tough?”
Chirp’s eyes widened. It was his first time seeing a demon refine their wings into a demonic weapon.
“Boom!”
In the moment the two demons clashed, Crane Flyfly seized the opportunity, striking the black-robed demon from the sky with a palm from afar!
“Damn it!”
“Divine Ability, Soul-Shocking Soundwave!”
Seeing the two demons pursuing him again, the black-robed demon, furious, opened his mouth and unleashed an invisible divine ability.
“Ah!”
Chirp let out a miserable scream, taking the brunt of the Soul-Shocking Soundwave. He plummeted from the sky.
“Ugh…”
Even Crane Flyfly, caught off guard, grunted, feeling as though a sledgehammer had smashed his head. Beyond the pain, he was dizzy, nauseous, and his insides churned.
“Demons of Black Wind Mountain, your good days are over!”
“It won’t be long before this Lord leads an army to exterminate you all!”
“Wash your necks and wait!”
“Hahaha…!”
Seeing his divine ability instantly cripple the two demons, the black-robed demon was quite pleased. But he didn’t linger, wary of stronger foes appearing.
After throwing out his threats, he fled down the mountain.
“No need to wait. Let’s settle it now!”
Suddenly, a calm voice rang out, making the black-robed demon’s pupils shrink!
Then he saw a figure soar into the air, approaching him at terrifying speed!
Under such speed, he couldn’t even escape. His face twisted ferociously as he unleashed his divine ability again.
Soul-Shocking Soundwave!
Instantly, Mo Fan felt a slight dizziness in his head, but that was all.
“So it’s a mental attack divine ability. Unfortunately, how could a small demon like you break through this King’s mental fortitude?”
“Your life is mine!”
“And your divine ability is mine too!”
