Gazing at the thirteen Demon Generals charging towards him, Mo Fan’s heart remained unruffled.
After the battle at Black Wind Mountain, these Demon Generals no longer instilled fear in him. No matter their numbers, to him, they were merely resources to aid his cultivation.
“Lei Yu family, since you refuse to change your ways, I’ll kill until you tremble in fear.”
Mo Fan murmured to himself, then took a step forward. Instantly, a purple halo materialised behind him.
Divine Ability, Wind Thunder Sting!
This was the divine ability he had acquired after devouring Lei Yu Chuan. It wasn’t the half-baked Wind Thunder Sting of Lei Yu Hai, but the true, authentic version.
However, since Wind Thunder Sting was a bloodline divine ability of the Lei Yu family, it required their inherent black stingers to be executed properly.
Mo Fan lacked these so-called black stingers, so the halo he manifested was not black, but a violent purple, brimming with ferocity.
Purple represented the power of lightning.
As soon as the purple halo appeared, it began to spin rapidly. Faint gusts of wind emerged from nowhere, the power of wind.
The essence of Wind Thunder Sting lay in the combined forces of wind and thunder.
As the power of wind and thunder manifested, Mo Fan’s body gradually lifted off the ground, floating in mid-air. A lightning mark appeared at the centre of his brow.
Arcs of lightning serpents materialised around him, slithering about but unable to harm him in the slightest.
Seeing Mo Fan, who resembled a thunder god, the thirteen Demon Generals charging at him all shrank their pupils in shock.
Coming from Wind Thunder Mountain, they were no strangers to the Lei Yu family’s bloodline divine ability. For a moment, they were utterly stunned.
“How does he possess the Lei Yu family’s bloodline divine ability?”
“Could this toad demon be the illegitimate child of some great demon from the Lei Yu family?”
In an instant, the Demon Generals’ expressions turned peculiar, their gazes towards Mo Fan tinged with a hint of fear.
“A bunch of nonsense, what are you blabbering about?”
The leading black dog demon roared in anger. He knew full well the purpose of their mission, so this toad demon could not possibly be an illegitimate child.
Utter rubbish!
To quell the demons’ fearful hearts, the black dog demon’s eyes shifted, and he growled, “Are you all blind? Can’t you see his halo’s colour is different from the Lei Yu family’s?”
The words were met with silence from the demons.
Having become Demon Generals, they were long past the stage of naivety and foolishness. How could they be swayed by the black dog demon’s single remark?
“Whether he’s an illegitimate child of the Lei Yu family or not, this demon must be taken down today. Otherwise, we won’t be able to bear the blame from the great demons above!”
“Attack together!”
The black dog demon’s words dispelled the doubts in the demons’ minds. No longer hesitating, they summoned their demon weapons and unleashed their divine abilities.
“Divine Ability, Shadow Kill!”
Suddenly, one Demon General vanished from Mo Fan’s sight. When they reappeared, they were behind him, a demon blade thrusting straight towards his heart.
“Clang!”
However, as the sound of clashing metal rang out, the blade failed to pierce Mo Fan’s skin, instead sparking a shower of flames.
“What?”
The Demon General was a graceful female demon, clad in tight black leather, her long hair cascading like a waterfall. Her beautiful face was now filled with shock.
Instinctively, she moved to retreat, but then she saw a pair of black wings unfurl from the toad demon’s back. Next, she saw half a body plummeting from the sky, blood raining down to the earth.
When she recognised the tight black leather clinging to that half-body, the female demon let out a piercing scream.
“Ah!”
A tidal wave of pain surged through her, nearly causing her to faint.
“Pretty face, but a heart too venomous. You deserve to die!”
Mo Fan’s voice rang out. His black wings flapped, and he vanished from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was behind the female demon, opening his mouth to unleash a divine ability.
Yet, even as the female demon’s upper half fell from the sky, Mo Fan did not devour her. Instead, he frowned mid-air.
The Heaven-Devouring Divine Ability had failed!
This was the second time Mo Fan had failed to properly execute the Heaven-Devouring Divine Ability.
The first time was at the Black Water River when he tried to confront the White Tiger Saint King, but he was completely suppressed and restrained by the Heaven-Devouring Demon Bone.
But what was the reason this time?
Mo Fan’s brows furrowed, but they soon relaxed as he found the answer.
The reason was still the Heaven-Devouring Demon Bone.
Yesterday, to counter Lei Yu Zi Dian, he had forcibly activated the Heaven-Devouring Demon Bone, depleting his own origin. Though the White Tiger Saint King later restored his cultivation and strength with immense demonic power, it had not restored the Heaven-Devouring Divine Ability.
Gazing at the Demon Generals charging towards him, Mo Fan closed his eyes, immediately using his divine sense to probe his inner space. He let out a sigh of relief.
“I can still sense the existence of my inner space. It’s just temporarily sealed.”
Opening his eyes, Mo Fan understood that the failure of the Heaven-Devouring Divine Ability was tied to the sealing of his inner space.
Since it was only temporarily sealed, it would surely reopen one day, so Mo Fan wasn’t overly worried. However, he had no idea when that day might come.
“It seems the situation is far more complicated than I imagined. This leaves me with far fewer options!”
Mo Fan muttered to himself, a wry smile in his heart.
Many of his treasures were stored in his inner space. Now that it was sealed, those treasures were inaccessible.
Currently, the only treasures he could use were two: the pair of black feather Demon King weapons on his back and the Life-Death Sword Pill nurtured within his body.
“So be it. These should be enough for me to carve a path through Phoenix Cry Mountain!”
Mo Fan took a deep breath, casting aside the jumbled thoughts in his mind. When he looked at the demons before him again, his eyes burned with intense battle intent.
“Swoosh!”
At that moment, a massive blade light descended from the sky, ten zhang in length, as if to cleave Mo Fan in two.
“A mere toad demon dares to provoke the Lei Yu family?”
“Clueless fool!”
Another Demon General attacked, a middle-aged figure with two wolf heads on his shoulders. His bare upper body rippled with defined muscles, each hand gripping a large, swift blade.
Looking at the approaching blade light, Mo Fan couldn’t help but think of that fellow Lang Xiongxiong, who also seemed fond of wielding blades.
Compared to Lang Xiongxiong, this double-headed wolf demon was clearly inferior.
Mo Fan could already sense that this massive blade light lacked any trace of blade intent, containing only pure blade energy.
This was a divine ability!
Mo Fan did not retreat. His black wings folded forward, completely shielding his body.
“Clang!”
As the blade struck, Mo Fan remained unmoved. His black wings radiated dazzling dark light, instantly shattering the so-called blade light.
“What?”
The double-headed wolf demon’s expression shifted. Then, Mo Fan’s figure vanished from his sight.
“Returning the favour is only polite. Take a strike from me!”
Mo Fan appeared before the double-headed wolf demon, his wings swinging like two great blades, slashing fiercely at the wolf demon.
“Divine Ability, Double Heads, Four Arms!”
The wolf demon let out a low growl. To Mo Fan’s astonishment, another pair of arms sprouted, and he drew two large bone blades from his spine.
“Clang!”
After a deafening clash, the double-headed wolf demon was sent crashing to the ground, but his body bore no wounds.
His four arms crossed before his chest, the four blades intersecting, blocking Mo Fan’s earlier strike.
“Kill!”
At that moment, the remaining demon cultivators charged forward, unleashing various divine abilities that enveloped Mo Fan.
