At the peak of Black Wind Mountain.
At this moment, two figures clashed rapidly in the air, each collision unleashing astonishing energy fluctuations, the tremendous noise akin to war drums resounding.
Below the aerial battlefield, more than ten demon corpses lay in pools of blood.
A young man in a blood-red robe, his face unnaturally pale, stood with hands behind his back amidst the blood, gazing up at the battle in the sky.
On either side of his neck grew a ferocious giant python head, both now staring coldly at the demons surrounding him.
Encircling the blood-robed youth were numerous demon soldiers.
Among them were powerful demon soldiers like Dali, Red-Eye, Chacha, Mr. Pig, and Big Head.
The only one facing the blood-robed youth was He Feifei, clad in feathered robes, staring at the man before her as if facing a formidable foe, not daring to act rashly.
The corpses at his feet seemed to prove everything.
Among those corpses were even a few demon soldiers of significant rank!
Yet in the earlier skirmish, they could not even get close to him, instantly killed in a flash!
“I remember you, one of Shan Feng’s trusted demon soldiers, called… He Tan Tan, right?”
The blood-robed youth shifted his gaze, looking at He Feifei with interest.
“It’s He Feifei!”
He Feifei’s face twitched slightly.
“Oh, right, you’re He Feifei. That Tan Tan was a deer demon, I recall, killed by my own hands.”
The blood-robed youth flashed a sinister grin, then added, “You’re a lucky crane demon, breaking through to this realm so quickly.”
With that, his eyes glinted, and he smiled, “Did you come across some fortune during this time? Or… did you obtain some treasure that rapidly boosts cultivation?”
He Feifei frowned slightly, saying gravely, “Poison Fang, the Black Wind Mountain of old was destroyed because of your betrayal. The current Black Wind Mountain does not welcome you. I advise you to leave quickly!”
“You’re mistaken. I am one of the four generals of Black Wind Mountain. How can you say Black Wind Mountain doesn’t welcome me?”
“As for betrayal, that’s utter nonsense. I was setting things right!”
“Without my efforts, how could you lesser demons sit in such high positions now?”
“Now that the Demon King has fallen and the other generals are missing, Black Wind Mountain lies in ruins, awaiting revival. It is I, Poison Fang, who should take charge of Black Wind Mountain’s affairs!”
“So, I advise you all to submit quickly and not cling to delusions!”
Poison Fang sneered, speaking confidently, twisting the truth to intimidate the demons.
“You damn shameless snake, are you dreaming?!”
As soon as Poison Fang finished, Red-Eye cursed mockingly, “Back then, Rabbit Lord respected you as a figure. Now you’re just a lapdog for human cultivators, yet you dare show off. Have you no shame?!”
“Hm?”
Poison Fang’s face darkened instantly, and the giant python head on his left shoulder lunged fiercely, shooting several zhang forward, its gaping maw aiming for Red-Eye.
“Poison Fang, this is no place for your insolence!”
Dali stepped forward, swinging a massive axe that struck the python’s head!
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing rang out. The python’s head paused briefly, but then unleashed tremendous force, instantly sending Dali flying.
“Hiss!”
The python opened its mouth, letting out a roar, and lunged at Red-Eye again.
“Hmph!”
A cold snort sounded, and a figure over a zhang tall appeared, wielding twin demon blades to block the python’s attack.
Seeing his attack thwarted again, Poison Fang frowned, turning to see a white elephant demon. Though only a demon soldier, its strength was terrifyingly formidable, blocking his strike!
“Seeking death!”
Poison Fang snorted coldly, about to strike again, when He Feifei’s stern voice rang out nearby, “Poison Fang, Black Wind Mountain is no longer a place where you can act recklessly! I advise you to leave early, or when the King returns, you’ll die miserably!”
Poison Fang frowned at her words, his mind stirring as he recalled the python head, turning to He Feifei with a cold laugh, “When did Black Wind Mountain get a new Demon King? Let him show himself. I’d like to see which demon it is!”
With that, his eyes glinted, and he laughed, “Oh, on my way here, I heard Black Wind Mountain has a formidable toad demon. Could it be that ugly creature called Laibao?”
“If you want me to leave, it’s simple. Hand over that Laibao, and I’ll take what’s mine from him. Once I have it, I’ll naturally leave this godforsaken place!”
“Outrageous!”
“How dare you insult the King!”
Before He Feifei could respond, Red-Eye roared again, shouting, “Brothers, what are we waiting for? Let’s go, kill this shameless snake! He’s just a demon general. With so many of us, we can overwhelm him!”
With that, Red-Eye spat out a long spear and charged at Poison Fang.
“Kill!!”
Seeing this, the other demons hesitated no longer and rushed toward Poison Fang.
“Such recklessness!!”
He Feifei was startled. She had planned to stall Poison Fang, but Red-Eye’s impulsiveness had ruined it. Was he tired of living?!
With no choice, He Feifei joined the fray, charging at Poison Fang!
“Good. Since you seek death, I’ll grant it!”
Poison Fang showed no fear, instead laughing heartily. The two python heads on his shoulders attacked the demon soldiers behind, while his hands transformed into two giant pythons, strangling toward He Feifei.
At the same time, Poison Fang opened his mouth, spewing red poisonous mist that instantly engulfed the battlefield!
Soon, screams echoed from within the red mist.
Meanwhile, the battle in the sky took a new turn.
Qin Changsheng, his robes tattered and golden light exhausted, pulled back, no longer daring to fight Bai Yaoyao up close. With a wave, dozens of talismans flew out.
Each talisman bore the character “Suppress.”
“Monster, since you refuse to submit, I’ll put you down today!”
With Qin Changsheng’s low shout, the dozens of demon-suppressing talismans turned into golden beams, shooting toward Bai Yaoyao, who rode the clouds.
The next moment, booming sounds filled the air as the talismans transformed into dozens of mountains, burying Bai Yaoyao!
Yet Qin Changsheng’s face showed no joy, his brows furrowing as he stared at the giant stone sphere in the sky.
Formed from the talismans, it should have trapped Bai Yaoyao and fallen to the ground, but it remained suspended, highly unusual.
“Roar!”
Sure enough, a beastly roar shook the heavens, and the stone sphere shattered, reverting to talismans that burned to ash in the wind.
A ten-zhang-long white python appeared before Qin Changsheng.
The python was bloodied, its scales mostly shattered, its aura weakened, but the ferocity in its vertical pupils burned fiercer.
“Monster, you can’t be spared today!”
Qin Changsheng snorted, forming hand seals. A bamboo slip treasure flew from his feet, its pieces disassembling in the air before reforming into a massive sword.
“Calligraphy, Killing Formula!”
Qin Changsheng chanted, golden “Kill” characters flying out like swarms of ants, merging into the giant sword!
Clang!
The sword trembled, glowing brightly, and vanished in a streak of rainbow light.
Bai Yaoyao’s expression shifted. She spat out a large seal, instantly activating it!
“Water God Seal, go!”
Boom!!
A terrifying energy storm erupted in the sky, rippling outward.
The shockwaves even affected the ground battle, dispersing Poison Fang’s poisonous mist.
“Hm?”
Poison Fang looked up at the sky battle, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes.
As the energy ripples passed, the golden sword shattered!
Qin Changsheng fell from the sky, blood gushing from his mouth.
“Master, I’ll assist you!”
Poison Fang’s eyes lit up, reaching toward Qin Changsheng.
“Poison Fang, how dare you harm Black Wind Mountain’s demons!”
“You’re courting death!!”
At that moment, a thunderous roar echoed from the horizon, followed by a golden light that pierced Poison Fang’s chest in an instant!
