Flat Top Peak was now teeming with demons.
Some impatient small demons had already started setting up betting stalls on the sly.
“Come one, come all, don’t miss this chance! Miss it now, and you’ll have to wait another year to strike it rich!!”
“Brother, you betting?”
“Bloody hell! Didn’t the Great King ban betting last time? You’ve got some guts, mate!”
“Ahem… the Great King only banned the commanders from running bets, worried they’d fleece us small demons. But we’re different! Small-time business, the Great King will just turn a blind eye.”
“Fair point…”
“You betting or not?!” The bookie demon glared warily at the small demon before him.
“Bet, why wouldn’t I? What’s the odds?”
“Oh, right, right…”
Once these betting stalls started, they spread like wildfire. In no time, several gambling booths popped up across Flat Top Peak.
“Blimey, these small demons have some nerve!”
“Running a betting ring right under this commander’s nose? I’ll shut them down!”
Red Eyes, upon hearing reports from his underlings, was livid. As the captain of the enforcement team, how could he tolerate demons causing trouble under his watch?
So, he stormed out indignantly, visiting nearly every stall.
Of course, he didn’t “shut them down” but instead joined in, placing bets at each stall while warning the small demons to keep it low-key, lest the Great King catch wind.
In truth, with the Demon Network in place, Mo Fan was well aware of these activities. But he also understood that the small demons needed an outlet for their emotions, or trouble might brew if they were suppressed too long. Naturally, he turned a blind eye.
After waiting nearly half a day, aside from Dali, who was still out training the combat camp’s demon soldiers, all other camp demons had returned, including the entire Fierce Pig Team under Pig Master.
Seeing most demons had gathered, Mo Fan didn’t hesitate. He rode the fire lizard, soaring into the arena on clouds and mist.
There, Wolf Fierce had been waiting for some time, his restraints already lifted by the General Hall’s generals. He was rubbing his fists, ready for action, and growled at He Feifei nearby, “Lass, you dared to trick me? Don’t you know I, Wolf Fierce, hate being deceived most?”
“I… I didn’t mean to.” He Feifei opened her mouth, knowing she was in the wrong, and could only offer a wry smile.
“You didn’t mean to? You bloody well meant to!”
Wolf Fierce rolled his eyes, then added, “No matter, the mountain phoenix is gone. Once I beat that toad demon, I’ll be the Demon King of Black Wind Mountain. Then I’ll marry you and make you my demon consort!”
“And I’ll punish you properly, you little minx!”
He Feifei’s face turned cold, her voice icy, “Talk about that when you’re a Demon King!”
“Hahaha, just wait, this general will have you yet!”
Wolf Fierce laughed heartily, ignoring He Feifei’s darkening, almost dripping expression.
“Roar—!!”
At that moment, a roar echoed through Flat Top Peak.
The demons looked up to see black clouds rolling. As the mist cleared, Mo Fan stood atop the fire lizard’s head, hands clasped behind his back!
He Feifei gazed up at the imposing figure and murmured, “This is the demon man I’ve always dreamed of!”
Mo Fan, who had been standing aloof, nearly stumbled off the fire lizard’s head upon hearing her words…
Her voice was soft, but with Mo Fan and Wolf Fierce’s cultivation, they heard every word clearly.
“Damn scoundrel, even competing with me for this!!”
“With my temper!”
“Toad demon, come face your death!!”
Wolf Fierce roared, his blood aura surging, his head transforming into a ferocious wolf’s, his body growing taller!
He didn’t underestimate Mo Fan, going all out from the start, unleashing his “Bloodthirsty Frenzy” divine ability.
Sensing the shift in Wolf Fierce’s aura, Mo Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly, surprised, “You have such a powerful divine ability? Burning blood aura to boost your strength in a short time!”
Mo Fan was astonished, realising Wolf Fierce had misled him during their last encounter, though perhaps it wasn’t deception after all.
Seeing Wolf Fierce’s seriousness, Mo Fan stopped holding back. His aura surged, and a crimson light wheel appeared behind him!
Divine Ability: Great Five Elements Treasure Technique!
The demons who had fought Lei Yuchuan shrank their pupils upon seeing the crimson light wheel!
Though Mo Fan’s Great Five Elements Treasure Technique differed greatly from the Wind-Thunder Sting, in appearance, they seemed similar, differing only in colour.
This puzzled the demons.
Watching from afar, Bai Yaoyao frowned slightly, thinking, “Could he have clashed with other Lei Yu family demon cultivators?”
Being clever and having spent so long with Mo Fan, she noticed his many divine abilities, likely gained from slaying enemies, making it easy to deduce something.
But for Bai Yaoyao, the stronger Mo Fan was, the better for her!
“Let’s see how much of a surprise you’ll bring me this time!”
As Bai Yaoyao thought this, the two demons in the arena sprang into action!
After activating Bloodthirsty Frenzy, Wolf Fierce let out a roar, stomping the ground, causing it to crack. A massive shockwave spread, toppling rocks and scaring some small demons into fleeing!
The next moment, Wolf Fierce launched himself from the ground, charging at Mo Fan.
Mo Fan leapt from the fire lizard’s head, diving headfirst toward Wolf Fierce.
As he met Wolf Fierce, his body began to glow with endless crimson flames, which solidified into a crimson crystal battle armour!
This was the Great Five Elements Crystal Technique!
Last time, Mo Fan used this to withstand a blow from the Fire Cloud Cave’s Bull Demon King, only for the armour to shatter.
But this time, Mo Fan wanted to try again.
After all, Wolf Fierce was only at the Demon General level, barely reaching late Demon General after using his divine ability.
“Wolf Fierce, obediently pledge loyalty to this king!”
Mo Fan laughed, throwing a punch!
“Kill!”
Wolf Fierce roared, and the two demons collided!
*Boom—*
In an instant, their clash erupted in blazing blood-red light, but both figures were soon sent flying back.
Wolf Fierce spat blood, plummeting from the sky.
Mo Fan’s right arm’s crimson crystal armour shattered mostly, but in a blink, blood flames rekindled, restoring it to normal.
“Your strength is impressive, enough to rival a peak Demon General!”
“But sadly, you’re still far from this king!”
Mo Fan sneered, surprised by Wolf Fierce’s strength, which surpassed his realm!
But it ended in one strike…
Hmm?
Just as Mo Fan thought the fight was over, Wolf Fierce pulled a long, narrow demon blade burning with blood flames from his mouth.
“With my temper!”
“Your Wolf Lord hasn’t lost yet! Acting all high and mighty!!”
“Get lost…!”
Before Wolf Fierce finished, the crimson light wheel behind Mo Fan spun, crimson crystal spikes emerging, raining down like a storm!
“This…”
Wolf Fierce froze, stunned, but quickly dropped to one knee, shouting, “Wolf Fierce pays respects to the Great King!”
“???”
Mo Fan paused, laughing wryly, and with a wave, the thousands of crimson crystal spikes about to hit Wolf Fierce vanished into thin air.
