Staring at the ruins before him, Qin Changsheng’s heart grew cold, recalling Mo Fan’s earlier words.
His eyes reddened, spiritual energy raging around him.
Behind him, the pale-faced Poison Fang glanced at him warily, but that wariness soon turned to greed.
The next moment, Poison Fang reached for the back of Qin Changsheng’s neck.
But as his hand touched, the air seemed to solidify. An invisible force pressed down on him, heavy as a mountain, weighing him down!
“What!”
Poison Fang was shocked, his body bending under the sudden gravity, forced to his knees.
“Bang!”
The bluestone pavement shattered, and Poison Fang’s knee sank into the earth.
“Calligraphy, Mountain Formula!”
Only then did Qin Changsheng, still facing away, speak calmly.
As he spoke, a wisp of ink spread beneath Poison Fang, forming a character.
The character “Mountain”!
“Calligraphy, Prison Formula!”
Qin Changsheng turned, glaring coldly at the grimacing Poison Fang.
Boom! Boom! Boom…!
A deafening roar echoed as invisible spiritual energy and righteous aura took form, golden pillars rising around Poison Fang, trapping him like a cage.
“You broke through?!”
“No… this aura… you haven’t broken through!”
Poison Fang’s pupils shrank, his teeth clenched, startled by Qin Changsheng’s presence. But soon, madness took over, demonic energy surging as a black pillar shot skyward, attempting to break the spiritual cage.
“Hum—”
A tremor came from above the cage.
A drop of blood spread in the air, expanding from a point into a massive “Suppress” character!
“Calligraphy, Suppress Formula!”
Qin Changsheng’s icy voice rang out.
The blood-red Suppress character descended, sealing the black pillar within the prison.
“Roar!!”
Poison Fang roared skyward, his body transforming into a giant python, thrashing wildly, its tail whipping to break free.
“My cultivation hasn’t broken through, but my techniques have. My calligraphy has reached mastery!”
“In your prime, you might have broken my calligraphy prison, but now, your vitality is drained, your strength nearly gone. How can you escape?”
Qin Changsheng snorted coldly, then said icily, “No wonder you dared devour those city mortals so recklessly. You already knew the truth!”
“You dared deceive me?!”
Qin Changsheng’s cold tone filled Poison Fang with dread. Unable to break the prison, he reverted to his spiritual form, pleading in fear, “Master, I was wrong, Poison Fang was wrong!!
Please spare me this time!
I swear it won’t happen again… no, there won’t be a next time!!”
Qin Changsheng looked at him expressionlessly and said gravely, “Tell me the truth about the Southern Borderlands. Why was Great River Academy destroyed?!”
“And how did you break my Beast-Taming Blood Curse?”
“Master, shortly after we left Great River Academy, it was destroyed by a great demon saint!
Not just Great River Academy, but Blue Sky Sect is gone too!
I didn’t know at first, but learned it from some demons and rogue5374 loose cultivators while you were in seclusion, unaware of the outside world.
As for the Blood Curse, it’s due to one of my abilities…”
Poison Fang began, but the ground shook, and he vanished, replaced by a massive crater.
“Damn you, you think you’re worthy of being my master?
Humans are nothing but food for demons!
Once I eat you, the Blood Curse will break!”
Poison Fang’s sinister voice rose from below. Qin Changsheng’s face changed, and he tried to soar upward, but it was too late. The ground split, and a massive, ferocious python head emerged, swallowing him whole!
“Poison Fang!!”
A furious shout came from the horizon as Mo Fan arrived.
Even he was shocked by the scene.
All along, he thought Poison Fang was Qin Changsheng’s servant, a spiritual beast, or bluntly, a dog.
But this? The dog had devoured its master?
“Laibao?”
Poison Fang’s heart jolted, his vertical pupils glancing at the approaching figure. He retracted his head and burrowed frantically underground to escape Mo Fan.
After their earlier clashes, Poison Fang knew how powerful Mo Fan was.
Compared to Qin Changsheng, he feared Mo Fan more.
“No escape!!”
Mo Fan roared, enveloped in demonic energy, golden arrows swirling around him as he dove into the snake’s tunnel.
Divine Ability, Ten Thousand Poison Spider Gu!
To guard against Poison Fang’s sneak attacks or dying counterstrikes, Mo Fan used his spider gu to lead the way.
This time, he was determined to kill Poison Fang.
He had noticed something: despite Poison Fang’s terrifying regeneration, it had flaws.
First, each recovery left him noticeably weaker, meaning the ability wasn’t limitless.
Second, recovery required time and a portion of his body to remain intact.
So Mo Fan planned to cripple him with the spider gu, freeze him with Frost, and swallow him whole to end his stubborn life!
He had intended to use Heaven-Swallowing earlier, but it had weaknesses.
The farther the target, the weaker the swallowing force.
Also, the ability required a brief moment to activate, enough time for a cunning demon general like Poison Fang to escape.
As a snake demon, Poison Fang’s burrowing skills were impressive, and Mo Fan chased him for a long time before catching up.
“Poison Fang, your time is up!”
Upon reaching him, Mo Fan pointed, and the spider gu swarmed, engulfing the python.
“Ah—!!”
Poison Fang screamed, pleading, “Laibao, I was wrong, spare me!”
“If you let me go, I’ll sign a master-servant contract, my life in your hands, never to betray!!”
“No need. Only your death will ease my mind!”
Mo Fan snorted, spewing a torrent of icy mist, instantly freezing the weakened Poison Fang.
Divine Ability, Heaven-Swallowing!
As Mo Fan activated it, Poison Fang’s body was sucked into his inner space.
“Ah…!!”
An invisible force surged toward Poison Fang, making the seemingly lifeless demon scream.
“What a venomous snake!”
Mo Fan snorted, carefully sensing Poison Fang’s state within him while checking for any remaining fragments.
Satisfied nothing was left, he flew toward the tunnel’s exit.
