As the black sickle arced through the void, the black-faced demon king’s head immediately rolled to one side.
“This king… no… unwilling!!”
The black-faced demon king’s weak voice echoed across the heavens and earth, then it fell into complete silence.
“Thud!”
With the black-faced demon king’s demise, his previously unyielding body collapsed to the ground, his demonic energy rapidly dissipating.
Mo Fan and Bai Yaoyao flew over at this moment. Seeing the headless corpse on the ground, Mo Fan looked helpless, turned to Black Face, and said gloomily, “Why did you go and kill him?”
“Great King, was it not you who told us to deal with him?” Black Face furrowed her willow brows slightly.
“That is true, but it is somewhat wasteful…”
Mo Fan sighed lightly, waved his hand, and said, “Forget it, killed is killed!
This fellow deserved death anyway!”
With that, Mo Fan reached out towards the corpse on the ground from afar. A golden demon core immediately flew out from the body and landed in his hand.
“Though I could not obtain these two demon kings’ abilities, I still gained two demon cores, as well as demon king weapons. It counts as a great harvest!”
Mo Fan thought to himself, then noticed the headless corpse on the ground suddenly revealing its true form: a gigantic hedgehog!
“Hedgehog demon…”
Mo Fan furrowed his brows. This reminded him of the Bai family, closely tied to the Lei Yu family.
The Bai family, where Bai Shuang’s father belonged, was a hedgehog demon clan.
“A king-realm hedgehog demon. There are scarcely any in the entire Phoenix Cry Mountain demon domain. It must come from the Bai family under Wind Thunder Mountain!” Fire Spirit spoke at this time.
He had once been the demon king of Red Fire Peak, one of the king-realm great demons in the Phoenix Cry Mountain demon domain, and naturally knew much about its major factions.
“So, these two demon kings who came to attack our Black Wind Mountain truly are connected to the Lei Yu family?” Black Clothes frowned.
“Indeed, I just checked some memory fragments from that fire-surnamed demon king. They were indeed commissioned by that old Lei Yu Purple Lightning.”
Mo Fan nodded, then said to Black Clothes, “Since you killed this hedgehog king, his corpse belongs to you!”
Black Clothes had the demon-devouring divine body and could grow stronger by consuming demons. With such a complete great demon corpse before her, Mo Fan naturally would not waste it. Granting it to her to enhance her strength was the wisest choice.
“Thank you, Great King, for the reward!”
Black Clothes nodded, then added, “However, I no longer need the whole corpse now. Taking its heart will suffice.”
As she spoke, a tentacle suddenly extended from behind Black Clothes, instantly piercing the chest of the corpse on the ground, then extracting a blood-drenched heart.
Though this great demon was dead, its heart still contained terrifying energy.
As soon as the heart left the body, it emitted astonishing demonic energy.
Without hesitation, Black Clothes opened her mouth and inhaled, drawing the heart into her mouth.
Soon, dense demonic energy emanated from Black Clothes’ body, enveloping her entire divine form.
Seeing this, a gleam of joy flashed in Mo Fan’s eyes.
Black Clothes had already been at peak demon general cultivation. She was just one step from the demon king realm. Devouring this hedgehog demon king’s heart likely gave her a high chance of breaking through to demon king realm!
Thinking of this, Mo Fan took out the half-corpse from earlier, extracted its heart as well, then tossed it into the black demonic mist.
“Swallow this heart too. It may help you break through to king realm!” Mo Fan said gravely.
“Very well!”
Black Clothes’ voice came from within the demonic mist.
“We will guard her!”
Mo Fan spoke, positioning himself with Bai Yaoyao and Fire Spirit at different sides to protect Black Clothes.
At the same time, Mo Fan pointed at his brow. Tiger patterns emerged, and the world in his eyes turned black and white.
A grey figure soon appeared before Mo Fan: the black-faced demon king who had just been slain!
The black-faced demon king stared woodenly at the headless corpse on the ground. Suddenly sensing something, he turned towards Mo Fan, trembling all over.
He then flew towards the distance.
“Hmph!”
Mo Fan snorted coldly, activating his divine ability.
Clang, clang, clang.
Golden chains emerged from the tiger pattern, flying straight towards the black-faced demon king’s demon soul.
Seeing the tiger pattern drawing nearer, the black-faced demon king stopped fleeing. Instead, he turned, knelt towards Mo Fan, and nodded repeatedly in terror.
Mo Fan ignored him. The golden chains pierced the demon king’s soul body in an instant.
“Fellow Daoist, spare my life!”
“Fellow Daoist, spare me!!”
Instantly, the black-faced demon king’s pleas rang in Mo Fan’s ears.
“You travelled thousands of miles from Phoenix Cry Mountain demon domain to slay this king. Did you ever think to spare this king’s life?!” Mo Fan snorted coldly.
His words stunned the black-faced demon king, but he soon said in fear, “Fellow Daoist, I truly had no choice. It was all forced by that Lei Yu Purple Lightning!
If I did not come to take your life, my Bai family would be exterminated by Lei Yu Purple Lightning…”
“Whether your Bai family is destroyed or not is none of my concern?”
Mo Fan snorted, interrupting him with one sentence, then said gravely, “You sought to kill me, yet now that you are in my hands, you ask me to spare you. Where is the reason in this world for such a thing!”
“Fellow Daoist, spare my life!!”
“Fellow Daoist, you have already slain me. Why pursue utter destruction?
I only hope Fellow Daoist will spare this wisp of soul, giving me a chance at reincarnation. Please grant me this!”
Mo Fan looked at the terrified black-faced demon king and sneered, “You dared act against this king and still seek reincarnation?
No reincarnation for you, but a place as a vengeful ghost is available!”
“Seal!”
With that, Mo Fan’s brow tiger pattern glowed. The golden chains clanged as they dragged the black-faced demon king back into the tiger pattern.
None of this was noticed by Bai Yaoyao and the others.
Though they had king-realm cultivation, they lacked Mo Fan’s ability to directly perceive阴 souls. However, they did notice the change in the tiger pattern on his brow.
“You took in this hedgehog demon king’s demon soul?” Bai Yaoyao asked immediately.
“Indeed. After all, it is a demon king. Transforming it into a vengeful ghost for my use is naturally better!”
Mo Fan smiled and nodded, then probed his divine sense into the vengeful ghost space in his sea of consciousness.
There, the hedgehog demon king was bound by dozens of golden chains, enveloped by tiger pattern power, causing it to scream incessantly.
Soon, the hedgehog demon king’s screams ceased. A tiger pattern mark appeared on its brow, then quickly vanished.
Seeing this, Mo Fan released the hedgehog demon king.
“Bai Jinghu pays respects to Master!”
As soon as the hedgehog demon appeared, it spoke respectfully to Mo Fan, though its face still held a trace of bitterness.
At this time, Bai Yaoyao and Fire Spirit also saw Bai Jinghu, now a vengeful ghost.
“I need your memories!”
Mo Fan said flatly, in an unquestionable tone.
“This subordinate will now transfer the memories to Master!”
Bai Jinghu smiled bitterly, then pointed towards Mo Fan’s brow.
Mo Fan did not dodge. Since Bai Jinghu had become his vengeful ghost, betrayal was impossible. All its thoughts were under his surveillance. Any anomaly, and he could annihilate it at once!
Soon, Bai Jinghu’s memories appeared in Mo Fan’s mind…
