Mo Fan looked down, only to find the fallen giant python had vanished!
“Still not dead?”
Mo Fan’s pupils shrank. Though it seemed unbelievable, the evidence was clear.
He immediately tasked Three-Inch Ding with tracking Poison Fang.
Three-Inch Ding didn’t disappoint, quickly picking up Poison Fang’s trail.
Guided by Three-Inch Ding, Mo Fan soon found Poison Fang, who was frantically devouring the city’s people. His demonic power muffled their terrified screams.
“Poison Fang!!”
Mo Fan roared, golden light erupting from his body.
Divine Ability, Golden Body Manifestation!
In an instant, a ten-zhang-tall golden figure appeared behind him.
Poison Fang’s vertical pupils contracted. Unable to consume more humans, he crashed through the city wall, fleeing east.
“No escape!!”
The ten-zhang golden figure stepped out, crossing the city in one stride, racing across the ground faster than Poison Fang. In a blink, it caught up, sending the python’s body flying with a single punch.
“Damn it, when did you become so strong?!”
Poison Fang roared repeatedly, finding himself powerless against the golden giant, filling him with panic.
“Poison Fang, today you’ll pay for Lu Tan Tan’s death!”
“The lives of Black Wind Mountain’s demons will be avenged today!”
“You die today!!”
Mo Fan roared, controlling the golden figure to relentlessly pummel the python’s body. Finally, he grabbed it, lifting it from the ground.
The golden figure gripped the python with both hands, pulling fiercely at both ends, making the python scream in agony.
“Laibao, I don’t want the *Ten Thousand Poison Spirit Body* anymore!”
“Please spare me, I’ll submit to you, serve under you!”
“Let me go!!”
The python spoke human words, its body’s tearing pain driving it to incoherent pleas.
At this moment, Poison Fang’s true form was stretched nearly straight, his heads showing human-like expressions of pain. He began regretting provoking this bastard Laibao.
“A traitor like you? I wouldn’t dare keep you. Death is your only fate!”
The golden figure snorted coldly, its hands exerting force, blood staining the sky!
The crimson python was torn in two!
“Ah—!!”
Poison Fang screamed, his snake body going limp.
Mo Fan didn’t stop, activating his Heaven-Swallowing Ability to finish this menace for good.
But at that moment, the python’s front half shrank abruptly, transforming into a streak of blood-red light and fleeing!
“What?!”
Mo Fan’s eyes widened. Poison Fang’s resilience was beyond his expectations, seemingly unkillable.
He swallowed the half of the snake body in the golden figure’s left hand, then retracted the Golden Body Manifestation and chased east.
With Three-Inch Ding’s help, Mo Fan had no fear of Poison Fang escaping his grasp.
The pursuit lasted nearly half an incense stick’s time before he spotted Poison Fang again.
But Poison Fang was in a pitiful state, reduced to just his upper half, now a small red snake coiled around Qin Changsheng’s shoulder.
“Toad demon, you never disappoint. Each meeting brings new surprises!”
“But this ends here!”
Qin Changsheng glared coldly at Mo Fan, then produced a talisman, hurling it into the sky.
The talisman bloomed, forming a dazzling pattern of a crossed pen and sword, the emblem of the Book and Sword Alliance.
“So this was your plan?”
Mo Fan looked at Qin Changsheng oddly, then at the red snake on his shoulder, as if understanding something. He laughed, “You don’t know what’s happened in the Southern Borderlands, do you?”
“Your Great River Academy has long been destroyed, and you’re still clueless!”
“Monster, stop trying to deceive me!”
“My Book and Sword talisman has been sent. Soon, disciples of the Alliance within hundreds of li will arrive, and you’ll be dead!”
Qin Changsheng sneered, but his words made Mo Fan realise the truth.
This man was truly unaware of what had happened across the Southern Borderlands.
“Monster, I’ll give you one last chance. Submit to me, and I’ll spare your life!”
“I’m about to become the direct disciple of the Great River Academy’s dean. Soon, endless resources will pour in, and I’ll break through to the Core Formation stage in no time! If you submit, I’ll help you reach the Demon King realm!”
Qin Changsheng spoke gravely, offering generous terms.
In his view, though this toad demon was fierce, it wasn’t a true Demon King. No one could refuse such terms!
He was confident he could persuade the toad demon.
Once it agreed, he could bring it to the Academy and manipulate it as he pleased!
As for the damned snake on his shoulder, daring to think of betraying him? Once back at the Academy, he’d teach it a harsh lesson!
“Is this why you killed Lu Tan Tan?”
“I remember when we first met, you called yourself the ninth prodigy of Great River Academy. Now you’re about to become the dean’s direct disciple! So you’ve been using me to grind experience?!”
Qin Changsheng’s words amused Mo Fan, but also ignited a deep fury. Without further words, he sent a golden arrow shooting toward him!
“Poison Fang, hold him off!”
Qin Changsheng didn’t hesitate, yanking the half-snake from his shoulder and throwing it forward.
After this, he turned and fled on his sword!
“Qin Changsheng, you’ll pay!!”
Poison Fang roared, only to be pierced through the chest by the golden arrow.
“Die!!”
As Mo Fan closed in again, Poison Fang spewed endless poisonous mist, enveloping him.
Then he fled without looking back.
In the mist, Mo Fan sucked it all in, absorbing it, and resumed the chase.
As he pursued, Mo Fan was shocked to see Poison Fang regrow his lower half soon after!
“Senior brothers, help me!!”
As Mo Fan closed in on the pair, Qin Changsheng suddenly shouted in joy.
Mo Fan then saw several figures approaching on flying swords.
“Monster, how dare you wreak havoc in human territory!”
“You die today!”
The sword cultivators shouted, unleashing their flying swords at Mo Fan.
Mo Fan’s expression was icy, showing no intent to dodge. He stood still, letting the swords strike him, but they couldn’t even breach his Mountain Armour!
“A bunch of homeless Foundation Establishment cultivators. Let this King send you to meet your sect brothers!”
Mo Fan snorted, waving his hand to release a swarm of poisonous spiders, instantly overwhelming the cultivators.
Soon, screams filled the air.
The terror of the Ten Thousand Poison Spider Gu was fully displayed, unstoppable even by Foundation Establishment immortals!
In moments, Mo Fan devoured them all, then resumed chasing Poison Fang and Qin Changsheng.
With the two human strongholds destroyed and the Southern Borderlands under demon dominance, even if some Core Formation cultivators remained, Mo Fan doubted they’d dare show themselves. The higher their cultivation, the more they feared death. So he was fearless!
As he ventured deeper into the Southern Borderlands, Mo Fan reached a familiar place.
“How could this be…”
Qin Changsheng stared at the ruins of the Great River Academy, stunned in place…
