As Mo Fan and his group soared into the sky,
several demon shadows immediately burst forth from the direction of the capital’s palace, their furious roars echoing throughout the entire city.
“You bunch of useless fools, what are you waiting for?”
“Quickly activate the formation, trap these brazen impostors!”
“This king wants to see which demon king’s subordinate dares to be so audacious, impersonating a demon king’s name!”
As the roars from the palace direction resounded, the demon generals stationed outside the barrier in the eastern district sprang into action, led by a rat demon who manipulated the formation disk to activate the array.
Hum!
Ripples spread through the void, followed by several beams of light shooting into the sky around the eastern district. Golden shields rose, connecting with each other, converging above to form a sealed dome.
“Fire Escape!”
Mo Fan let out a low growl, his demon power enveloping his subordinates, transforming into a burst of flame that exploded in the air, instantly vanishing from the area!
At that moment, the formation barrier finally closed.
Yet, the faces of the rat demon general and the other demons showed no trace of joy, for the impostor had escaped.
This meant they might face accountability from the demon kings above.
Mo Fan, now a ball of flame, fled the sealed barrier without hesitation, heading straight for the city outskirts!
“Stay!”
A cold snort rang out, followed by a giant palm descending from the sky, like a mountain, intent on pinning Mo Fan and his group down.
“Get lost!”
Mo Fan snorted coldly, unleashing a black spike from his mouth.
In an instant, the pressure of a demon king’s weapon filled the void, piercing the giant palm, staining the sky with blood!
Was this not a transformation of demon magic?
Mo Fan was astonished but had no time to dwell on it. He retrieved the black spike with a wave of his hand and continued fleeing toward the city outskirts.
“Damn you!”
“This king will skin you alive!”
The demon king roared, his voice shaking the sky, as a massive figure streaked through the air.
It was an enormous golden-furred monkey, over ten zhang tall, stepping directly into the eastern district with a single stride.
The so-called formation barrier couldn’t hold for even a moment before shattering.
As the giant foot landed, a house was instantly destroyed, the mortals hiding within reduced to nothing, leaving only a pool of crimson blood seeping from the ruins’ cracks.
The golden-furred monkey didn’t pause, leaping forward hundreds of zhang, crushing another building underfoot before moving on.
The monkey left, but the eastern district suffered greatly, countless lives lost under its trampling.
“Shriek!”
A piercing cry tore through the sky.
A massive black shadow enveloped the area where Mo Fan was, dimming his vision considerably.
Mo Fan frowned, looking up to see a giant black bird!
The bird, eight or nine zhang long with a wingspan of nearly twenty zhang, radiated dense demon energy, blotting out the sky!
“Boy, I’ve taken a liking to that demon king weapon of yours!”
The black bird spoke in human tongue, its demon king aura erupting, enveloping Mo Fan in oppressive pressure!
Its hook-like claws lunged toward him.
“With your skills, you’re not capable of taking my weapon. You might lose your life instead!”
Mo Fan sneered, showing no intention of retreating. He charged at the bird, his black spike swinging, instantly growing to nearly ten zhang.
“Bang!”
A loud crash echoed as the bird was sent flying.
“Die!”
At that moment, a cold voice sounded behind Mo Fan, followed by a sharp aura that made his scalp tingle.
Undoubtedly, this was a demon king!
And its stealth was so strong that Mo Fan hadn’t sensed its presence!
Clang!
In an instant, a gleaming blade was blocked.
A massive black scythe parried the demon king’s strike.
“I’ll cut him down!”
Black Robe snorted coldly, black armour instantly covering his body.
Kill!
Black Robe erupted, clashing head-on with the ambushing demon king.
Both demons moved at terrifying speeds, their battle so fierce that even Mo Fan, without using his full speed, could only see two blurs colliding repeatedly.
“White Robe, go help her!”
Mo Fan spoke calmly. The latter nodded and flew out.
At that moment, an ugly old man with triangular eyes appeared on the city wall.
Mo Fan glanced at the demon, noting his thin, short stature, a face like a shoehorn with a wispy moustache, and cold, triangular eyes.
“Rat demon?” Mo Fan frowned.
“Rat Demon King!” the ugly old man corrected, then said, “Boy, you don’t seem like a nobody. State your origins!”
“If I tell you my background, will you refrain from attacking?” Mo Fan asked, his eyes narrowing.
“That’s not certain!” the Rat Demon King chuckled.
“Fine, listen well!”
“This king is the Holy Son of Moonlit Valley!”
Mo Fan snorted, spinning another lie.
Though these were demon kings, he gambled they hadn’t met the Holy Son.
The Rat Demon King’s expression turned strange. After staring at Mo Fan for a while, he sneered, “Boy, you’re not from Moonlit Valley!”
“Otherwise, how could you not know Moonlit Valley has no so-called Holy Son?”
Mo Fan’s face stiffened. He hadn’t known Moonlit Valley’s situation and had been exposed by a fake identity.
“Fine, if you won’t reveal your origins, prepare to die!”
The Rat Demon King sneered, his aura erupting to its peak.
“Wait!”
Mo Fan suddenly spoke, his face grave. “I didn’t want to reveal my identity as the Holy Son, but it seems I must, to avoid harming the harmony between the two great holy mountains!”
“You dare try to deceive this king again?!” the Rat Demon King glared, thinking, Does this boy think I’m so easily fooled?
“No deception this time. I am the Holy Son of Phoenix Cry Mountain’s demon domain, sent here by the Fire Phoenix to find someone.
I had no intention of revealing my identity, but you demon kings are too formidable, so I must state my origins to avoid a conflict that would displease both the Fire Phoenix and Moonlit Valley’s Demon Saint King.”
Mo Fan sighed, his face full of sincerity and helplessness.
“The Holy Son of Phoenix Cry Mountain?!”
The Rat Demon King’s expression shifted, thinking it was no wonder the demons following this general were so capable. Still, he frowned and asked, “Can you prove your identity?”
“Of course!”
Mo Fan nodded, his demon energy surging, his body suddenly engulfed in roaring flames, like a fire god.
“As everyone knows, Phoenix Cry Mountain’s experts all cultivate fire techniques. Is my Divine Phoenix Holy Body proof enough?”
Mo Fan spoke calmly, his eyes now cold as he looked at the Rat Demon King, exuding the unique aura of a superior.
This scene shocked the Rat Demon King, who muttered, “Divine Phoenix Holy Body, a holy body!”
“Rat King, don’t be fooled by this boy!”
“I know Phoenix Cry Mountain’s Holy Son. He reached king level ten years ago. How could this boy compare?!”
“Stop wasting words and take him down!”
