Lei Yufeng’s outburst made Mo Fan frown. He immediately flew over, pushing his demonic power to its peak.
“Master, I couldn’t kill him. This guy’s mental strength is too strong!”
Seeing Mo Fan arrive, the white-clothed one drifted to his side.
“No matter.”
Mo Fan nodded. He naturally knew Lei Yufeng’s mental strength would be formidable.
Or rather, the entire Lei Yu family’s mental strength was exceptionally powerful!
This was because their bloodline divine ability was linked to mental power, and their wind-thunder force was a natural counter to soul-based ghost creatures like the white-clothed one, making it difficult for him to truly kill Lei Yufeng.
“Come, treasure!!”
Lei Yufeng roared, his face darkening.
He hadn’t expected this toad demon to be so troublesome. All his carefully laid plans had been thwarted, and even the two damned mantis demons had turned against him. This filled him with rage, and he wanted nothing more than to kill Mo Fan on the spot.
“What, getting embarrassed?”
Mo Fan sneered, fearlessly meeting Lei Yufeng’s gaze with a smug grin. “I’m standing right here. Do you dare to strike me?”
“You think this king wouldn’t dare?!”
Lei Yufeng was furious, itching to slap Mo Fan dead.
“Something even your ancestor wouldn’t dare do, and you dare?”
Mo Fan smirked, his face full of disdain. “My master, the White Tiger Saint King, said he despises those who bully the weak. If your Lei Yu family dares send anyone above demon general to attack me, then sorry, but this Fengming Mountain demon domain might just lose a nest of porcupines!”
“You… insolent!!”
Lei Yufeng was livid, trembling with anger.
“You’re the insolent one!”
“What are you? Just a scapegoat for the Lei Yu family, and you dare act arrogant before this king?!”
Mo Fan sneered repeatedly, as if he didn’t take Lei Yufeng seriously at all. “With so many demon kings in your Lei Yu family, why did they send only you? Don’t you have any self-awareness?”
“Kid, stop spouting nonsense to unsettle this king!”
Lei Yufeng snorted, saying gravely, “To deal with a toad demon not even at peak demon general, this king could crush you with a flick of my hand!”
“You’re called foolish and still don’t admit it. What a waste of your demon king cultivation!”
“You still think this king is so easy to kill?”
“Not even your ancestor could do anything to me when he attacked personally, yet you’re here spouting grandiose nonsense?
“Believe it or not, we could team up and take you down right now?!”
Mo Fan sneered. At that moment, the black-clothed one and the other two ghost servants flew over.
When the black-clothed one saw the white-clothed one, she froze, unable to process for a long time.
Lei Yufeng wanted to say more, but seeing the black-clothed one, a trace of wariness appeared in his eyes. Glancing at the three ghost servants and the calm Mo Fan, he was already considering retreat, though he still sneered, “With a few of you who haven’t even reached the king realm?”
“It seems Lei Yu Zidian, that old thing, hid a lot from you!”
“That’s why you’re so reckless before this king!”
Mo Fan sneered, his demonic aura growing thicker, as if ready to strike at any moment.
The black-clothed one, regaining her composure, glared coldly at Lei Yufeng and growled, “Lei Yufeng, you deserve to die!”
“Kid, I admit I dare not kill you, but your companions don’t have your luck!”
“The White Tiger Saint King only said I can’t kill you, but he didn’t say I can’t kill them!”
Lei Yufeng sneered, planning to kill the black-clothed one and the others first, making it easier to deal with this toad demon later.
“Foolish creature, this king gives you five breaths to leave, or you’ll join those demon generals in death!”
Mo Fan didn’t waste more words, beginning to count, “Five!”
“Four!”
Lei Yufeng’s expression shifted. He hadn’t expected Mo Fan to dare take the initiative against him.
“Three!”
“Hmph! You won’t live long! This Fengming Mountain demon domain isn’t a place for a toad like you, and the Lei Yu family isn’t something you can provoke!”
Before Mo Fan reached two, Lei Yufeng spat a harsh threat, soared into the sky, and vanished.
He ultimately didn’t dare gamble with Mo Fan, as it seemed he’d lose either way.
With the White Tiger Saint King’s words in place, he couldn’t strike Mo Fan, but if Mo Fan attacked him, would he fight back or not?
So Lei Yufeng could only retreat, no matter how unwilling he was.
Another reason was Mo Fan’s earlier words. Though they seemed absurd, they left a shadow in Lei Yufeng’s mind, making him overthink.
Watching Lei Yufeng leave, the white-clothed one frowned, looking at Mo Fan. “We’re not pursuing?”
“If we chase him together, even as a mid-stage demon king, there’s a good chance we could kill him!”
Mo Fan nodded, then shook his head. “We might indeed kill him, but that’s not the outcome I want.
“I don’t want to go all-out against the Lei Yu family just yet.
“Killing one or two direct-line demon generals, though humiliating for the Lei Yu family, won’t hurt their foundation, so they can tolerate it.
“But killing a direct-line demon king would be entirely different.
“The Lei Yu family, with centuries of legacy, has only a few demon kings. If I killed one, it might provoke Lei Yu Zidian to act recklessly.
“Though the chance isn’t high, it’s not a gamble I can take now.
“So the best outcome is letting him go.
“As for the Lei Yu family’s debts, this king will settle them slowly in the future!”
Mo Fan sneered, but his heart grew more tense.
He knew the next challenge would be far more dangerous!
This time, fifty demon generals were lost here. How could the next be simple?
What worried Mo Fan more wasn’t the Lei Yu family’s attacks but the choices the other two major forces might make!
The answer was already in his heart, making him even more anxious.
If there was another ambush, it would be a fatal one!
“You’re right.”
The white-clothed one nodded, realizing his eagerness to kill Lei Yufeng hadn’t considered the bigger picture.
“White-Clothed brother…”
At this moment, the black-clothed one finally spoke, her tear-filled eyes looking at the white-clothed one, her face a mix of pity and joy.
She hadn’t expected to see him again, which filled her with joy, yet she didn’t dare approach.
“Black-Clothed, I’m sorry…”
The white-clothed one sighed softly, taking a step toward her, but stopped.
Because the black-clothed one stepped back, tears streaming down her face. She took a deep breath, wiped them away, and her complex emotions turned cold. Looking at the white-clothed one, she said flatly, “You don’t need to say sorry. From the moment I devoured you, I was no longer worthy of being your sister!
“You created the me of today!
“I am Black-Clothed, the death-representing Black-Clothed. From now on, I’ll only be a scythe harvesting lives under the great king’s command!”
As she spoke, her body erupted with immense demonic aura. The giant mantis form faded in the aura, replaced by a tall female demon clad in black armour, holding a massive black scythe.
Turning away, a pair of transparent wings appeared on her back. As they spread, two silver-white tendrils emerged beneath, each tipped with a silver scythe.
“Great King, I’ll scout ahead to see if any enemies are still hiding!”
With that, her wings flapped, and she soared into the sky, vanishing in a blink.
“I’m sorry…”
Watching her go, the white-clothed one’s face was full of bitterness, a trace of pain in his eyes.
No matter how much he wished otherwise, the black-clothed one had become White-Clothed…
