Several divine abilities erupted simultaneously, their power astonishing, completely enveloping the airspace where Mo Fan stood.
Yet, when the divine abilities dissipated, the Demon Generals’ faces grew grim.
No trace of Mo Fan’s corpse was found.
Or rather, they had lost sight of him entirely.
“Are you looking for me?”
At that moment, Mo Fan’s cold voice rang out above the demons, prompting them to instinctively look up.
In mid-air, Mo Fan stood suspended, a massive purple halo hovering above his head, spanning nearly a hundred zhang.
“Kill!”
Mo Fan whispered softly. Instantly, lightning serpents surged above him, countless purple spikes formed of lightning materialising, pouring down like a torrential storm, striking the Demon Generals below.
“Join forces, block him!”
The black dog demon roared in shock and fury, fully unleashing his demonic power in an attempt to counter this divine ability.
The other Demon Generals also unleashed their divine abilities, struggling to resist the terrifying rain of lightning.
But how could these Demon Generals withstand the Wind Thunder Sting, a bloodline divine ability of the Lei Yu family?
The power of wind and thunder swept through, the lightning spikes piercing relentlessly. Though intangible, they were even harder to counter.
In an instant, the Demon Generals were struck by lightning, wailing and cursing in pain.
Watching the demons below leaping about and swearing, Mo Fan frowned slightly, sighing inwardly, “As expected, this Wind Thunder Sting seems formidable, but it truly shines only when combined with the black stingers.”
The might of lightning was strong, but against these thick-skinned Demon Generals, it lacked significant killing power. Mo Fan’s control over the wind and thunder forces was limited, so the lightning conjured by this divine ability was not as fearsome as heavenly thunder.
“Stop your damned whining!”
“These lightning spikes may be impressive, but their killing power is limited. They can’t truly harm us!”
“This toad demon must be out of tricks. Now’s the perfect chance to kill him!”
The black dog demon was the first to react, enduring the searing pain of the lightning strikes. He led the demons in a renewed charge towards the sky, aiming to defeat Mo Fan in one fell swoop.
“Very well, we’ve played long enough. Time to end this!”
Seeing this, the corners of Mo Fan’s mouth curved slightly. He pointed his left hand skyward, and his demonic power erupted instantly.
Divine Ability, Great Five Elements Treasure Technique!
Buzz!
Another crimson halo appeared above Mo Fan’s head.
Another halo?
The charging demons were dumbfounded. Another Wind Thunder Sting?
“This toad demon may know the Wind Thunder Sting, but this is clearly a fake with limited killing power. No need to fear!”
The black dog demon sneered repeatedly, believing Mo Fan was bluffing again. He charged at the forefront, swinging his demon blade to strike at Mo Fan.
The other demons followed closely behind.
They shared the black dog demon’s view. Having just experienced Mo Fan’s “Wind Thunder Sting,” it seemed merely painful, incapable of dealing serious damage.
“Ignorance truly knows no fear!”
Mo Fan sneered, immediately activating the divine ability.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”
In an instant, countless crimson crystal spikes rained down like a deluge, attacking the demons below.
“Let’s go together, no need to worry. This guy’s just bluffing…”
The black dog demon sneered, slashing his blade at the foremost crimson crystal spike. His body shuddered, the immense force nearly knocking him from the clouds, cutting his words short.
Damn it, this wasn’t a bluff!
This was real!
The black dog demon’s face turned ashen, his heart sinking as he stared at the dense swarm of crimson crystal spikes.
“Damn it!”
“Who said this toad demon was just a late-stage Demon General?”
“This is no Demon General!”
“I’ve been screwed over this time!”
The black dog demon’s heart was filled with bitterness. He swung his demon blade frantically, trying to fend off the crimson crystal spikes.
His cultivation was formidable, at the peak of the Demon General realm.
Yet, he felt utterly powerless, his arms soon numb from the impacts.
“Ah!”
At that moment, a nearby Demon General screamed. The black dog demon looked over, only to see the demon pierced through by over a dozen crimson crystal spikes, dying a gruesome death.
“Black Xiao Quan, curse your ancestors!”
“This is your so-called limited killing power?”
“I won’t let you off even as a ghost!”
Boom!
Two more Demon Generals were blasted into clouds of blood mist.
One by one, more Demon Generals fell. Even the leading black dog demon could not escape his fate, ultimately riddled with holes by the crimson crystal spikes.
Only two Demon Generals, relying on their divine abilities, narrowly escaped and fled into the distance.
One was the double-headed wolf demon who had previously withstood Mo Fan’s feather blades. With his refined blade techniques and the advantage of four arms, he managed to endure the Wind Thunder Sting’s assault.
The other was a turtle demon whose divine ability was defensive, enhancing the strength of his shell. With double-layered protection, he emerged unscathed.
“Since you’ve come, don’t leave!”
Mo Fan spoke calmly, his wings flapping as he instantly caught up to the turtle demon.
Compared to the double-headed wolf demon, the turtle demon’s speed was lacklustre. Seeing Mo Fan approach, he transformed into his true form, retracting his head and limbs into his shell.
Mo Fan didn’t hold back. His feather blades materialised, slashing over a dozen times, but they left only faint marks on the shell.
Even so, the turtle demon wailed in pain, cursing loudly, “Damned toad demon, don’t get cocky! Offending the Lei Yu family means certain death!
Drop your blade now and come with this general to Wind Thunder Mountain to confess your sins. You might still save your wretched life. Otherwise, when the Demon Kings arrive, your doom is sealed!”
“Rest assured, you’ll die before me!”
Mo Fan sneered, ceasing his slashes.
He understood the turtle demon’s defence was formidable, unlikely to be breached quickly.
“Hahaha!”
“Utter nonsense!”
“You can’t even break this general’s defence. How will you make me die first?”
“Come on, let’s see what you’ve got to crack my shell!”
The turtle demon scoffed, confident in his defence. He didn’t believe any Demon General, let alone a toad demon not known for strength, could break through.
“Killing you is actually quite simple!”
Mo Fan shook his head, opened his mouth, and a sword pill shot out.
Divine Ability, Ten Thousand Poison Spider Gu!
The divine ability activated, and the sword pill transformed into a swarm of spider gu, engulfing the massive turtle shell.
“What… what despicable trick is this?”
“You have no demonic honour!”
“Big brother, I was wrong, truly wrong. I shouldn’t have argued with you. Spare me, don’t be ungrateful!”
Mo Fan was speechless, nearly amused by the turtle demon’s antics, and promptly flew away.
“Damned toad, you’ll die a horrible death!”
“A king of a mountain, resorting to vile poisoning tactics!”
“Ah… such agony!”
“No…”
Soon, Mo Fan caught up to the double-headed wolf demon. Without using any divine abilities, he engaged in close combat with his black feathers.
The wolf demon’s blade skills were exceptional, his four-blade style unique. Once in battle, his blade net was nearly flawless.
But Mo Fan overwhelmed all with sheer force, relying on the power of his Demon King weapon to shatter the demon’s blades, cleaving him in two.
After killing the wolf demon, Mo Fan didn’t rush to leave. Instead, he touched his brow.
A golden “King” character rune appeared at his brow, and a white tiger’s phantom emerged behind him.
“Divine Ability, Tiger’s Accomplice!”
Mo Fan whispered, his eyes turning golden, the world around him shifting.
The world was no longer in colour, but in black and white.
A grey shadow appeared in his vision.
The shadow glared at him with venomous resentment, yet its eyes were filled with fear.
“So this is a demon soul…”
Mo Fan murmured inwardly, wasting no more words. He activated the King character rune at his brow, and a golden chain shot out, piercing the double-headed wolf demon’s soul, dragging it back into the rune.
As the King character rune vanished, the golden light in Mo Fan’s eyes faded, and the world regained its colour.
He carefully sensed his mind, discovering a new space within, containing a grey figure, dazedly observing its surroundings.
This figure was the double-headed wolf demon’s soul.
Now, it was known as a tiger’s accomplice.
