The white-clothed one’s words left Mo Fan with mixed feelings. Just moments ago, he had indeed doubted the white-clothed one’s motives.
If the white-clothed one had truly gone mad, pursuing cultivation at all costs, he wouldn’t have waited until now to try to kill the black-clothed one.
After all, in Mo Fan’s view, although the black-clothed one was strong, she was far inferior to the white-clothed one. If he wanted to kill her, she would have died long ago. Why bother with so many excuses?
After hearing the white-clothed one’s account, Mo Fan finally understood everything.
From beginning to end, the white-clothed one had never intended to harm the black-clothed one. Perhaps the only harm was biting her earlier, and even that was to push her to the brink, making her believe he no longer cared for her.
“Sacrificing your own life to make the black-clothed one achieve the demon-devouring divine body, was it worth it?” Mo Fan asked with a sigh.
“It’s worth it, at least to me!”
The white-clothed one nodded without hesitation, then gave a bitter smile. “In truth, my fate was sealed long ago. The demon-devouring spirit body’s flaw is too great. Continuing to cultivate would only make me lose myself, leading to destruction.
The black-clothed one and I both have the demon-devouring spirit body. Her current state is partly my fault, so I can’t just watch her become another me.”
“So you gave up your life to fulfil her!”
Mo Fan took a deep breath, finishing the white-clothed one’s sentence, moved by his selfless love, but still frowned and asked, “Why me?”
“Because you’re the White Tiger Saint King’s successor!”
“The White Tiger Saint King is the great demon senior I admire most, the undisputed first saint king in the hearts of the entire demon clan!”
“If even he chose you, what reason do I have not to trust you?”
The white-clothed one looked at Mo Fan, then knelt on one knee, saluting solemnly. “White-Clothed greets his master!”
“Honestly, I’m starting to regret this. I feel like I’ve been played by you…”
Mo Fan gave a wry smile, but seeing the white-clothed one’s unchanged expression, he smiled again. “But this also shows you’re clever enough. To gain your allegiance is this king’s honour!”
“You flatter me, master. I only hope you’ll treat the black-clothed one well in the future. She… she’s truly pitiful.” The white-clothed one sighed.
“Rest assured, as long as she’s loyal to me, this king will not mistreat her. As for the Lei Yu family’s threat, you needn’t worry. I came here to deal with this matter!”
Mo Fan nodded with a smile, then signalled the white-clothed one to rise. With a wave of his hand, two ghost servants appeared beside him, a double-headed wolf demon and a turtle demon.
“Strike! Since these fools came to us, we have no reason to let them go!”
“Let all the demon generals’ corpses litter this canyon!”
“Yes!!”
With Mo Fan’s command, the three ghost servants turned into three clouds of ghost mist and charged toward the battlefield.
In the canyon, the black-clothed one’s giant mantis form was surrounded by dozens of demon generals, yet she remained ferocious.
Each of her attacks made the demon generals tremble in fear. Except for the ten peak demon generals who could barely hold their own, the others couldn’t withstand a single blow, dying on contact!
But surrounded and bombarded by numerous divine abilities, even with the terrifying defence of her demon-devouring divine body, the black-clothed one’s armour was shattered, and she was gravely injured.
“This demon is almost done. Everyone, attack together!”
“Once we kill her, that toad will be no threat!!”
A peak demon general roared, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He swung his demon blade, unleashing a wave of blade light that slashed the black mantis’s back, blood spraying everywhere!
“Kill!!”
Encouraged, the demon generals surged forward fearlessly.
This was because the second great king had promised that whoever took this demon’s head would receive the Lei Yu family’s full support, perhaps even a chance to ascend to the king realm!
Under the allure of the demon king realm, the demon generals went mad.
“Good. It seems this mantis demon is about to break.”
On a nearby boulder, Lei Yufeng sneered, his grim expression easing slightly.
Just moments ago, the black-clothed one’s terrifying combat power had shocked him, even instilling fear!
He had thought the two mantis demons’ fearsome reputation was exaggerated, but now he realised he had underestimated them.
The black-clothed one’s strength alone was comparable to a demon king!
Fortunately, he had brought enough demon generals. Even a true demon king would die here!
These demon generals didn’t disappoint him, gradually pushing the black-clothed one into a desperate situation with their numerical advantage.
“As long as this mantis demon dies, that damned toad demon will be no threat!”
Lei Yufeng took a deep breath, regaining his vigour.
He knew that if he could bring that toad demon back to Fenglei Mountain or kill it here, the ancestor would be delighted, and he’d be richly rewarded!
Perhaps… he could even overthrow his elder brother!
It was time for a new family head!
But at that moment, three clouds of black mist appeared in his sight, merging into the demon generals. Soon, he saw them fall like harvested wheat, collapsing rapidly!
“What… what’s happening?!”
Lei Yufeng’s eyes widened. He was about to release his divine sense to investigate when a cloud of black mist sped toward him!
“Courting death!”
Lei Yufeng snorted coldly, his divine sense sweeping out, finally detecting a somewhat familiar aura in the mist.
It was the white-clothed one!
“You’re that damned mantis demon? You’re still alive?!”
Lei Yufeng glared, but his expression soon changed, shocked. “No… no trace of life… you, you’re already dead?!”
“Lei Yufeng, you caused all this. If not for you, I wouldn’t have taken this step so soon, so pay with your life!”
The white-clothed one’s cold voice came from the black mist, which enveloped Lei Yufeng, transforming into a sharp sword piercing toward his forehead, then vanishing without a trace.
“How dare you invade this king’s sea of consciousness!”
Lei Yufeng roared, mobilising all his divine sense into a demon blade to slash at the sword.
Thus, the white-clothed one and Lei Yufeng battled fiercely in his sea of consciousness.
Outside, with the addition of the two ghost servants, the battlefield underwent a dramatic reversal.
Though the demon generals were strong, few had means to counter soul attacks. In a single clash, many lost their combat ability.
Such remarkable results thrilled the two ghost servants, who had never been so formidable in life. Their success was due to their new attack method, targeting the mind directly!
With their spirits destroyed, the demon generals naturally lost their fighting strength.
The sudden aid stunned the black-clothed one, but she quickly reacted, resuming her frenzied killing and devouring of the demon generals.
The white-clothed one’s death was something she couldn’t accept, and she blamed it all on these evil demons, believing they had driven him to his death.
To her, not one of these demon generals could live. They all had to die!!
Meanwhile, Mo Fan didn’t stand idle, joining the fight. His methods were even more ruthless, wielding the Great Five Elements Technique and the “Feather Kill” divine ability, slaughtering the demon generals in droves.
“We can’t hold on. These guys are too terrifying. Each one has king realm power. If we don’t leave, we’ll all die here!!”
A demon general roared helplessly, his body turning crystalline, enduring Mo Fan’s divine ability’s onslaught. He soared into the sky, stirring up demonic clouds, preparing to flee the canyon.
“A peak demon general does have some skill, but did this king say you could leave?!”
Mo Fan flew up, his right hand enlarging, and with one slap, he obliterated the peak demon general in mid-air!
Next, he struck decisively, killing one fleeing demon general after another, their corpses falling to the ground.
Soon, all fifty demon generals brought by Lei Yufeng were slaughtered, their blood staining half the canyon.
“You… all deserve to die!!”
At that moment, Lei Yufeng finally repelled the white-clothed one from his sea of consciousness, but the scene before him made his eyes blaze with fury, his king realm aura erupting instantly!!
