As soon as Mo Fan stepped into the cave, two demons with shell-backed bodies and long spears thrust towards him.
“Get lost!”
Mo Fan waved his hand, demon power surging, directly shaking the two demons away.
“Mere demon minions daring to act recklessly before us, courting death!”
Bai Jinghu snorted coldly, turning into a mass of ghost mist that enveloped the two demons.
“Ah…!!”
In the next moment, agonised screams echoed from the ghost mist.
In mere breaths, the mist dispersed, leaving behind two piles of stark white bones!
“Too brutal!!”
You Er was badly frightened by this scene, thinking to himself: “This Black Wind Demon King is too terrifying, with many powerful demons under him, and he can even command ghosts! This Taoist fears I can never escape his grasp!”
This minor disturbance did not faze Mo Fan; his gaze went straight to the depths of the cave.
There, a black-armoured female demon sat cross-legged, her face rather unpleasant as she stared at Mo Fan’s group.
“You are the Black Armour demon general?”
Mo Fan said indifferently.
“Fellow daoist, you are too overbearing!”
The black-armoured female demon furrowed her brows, her voice quite low.
“No choice, if this king were not overbearing, I would likely have died outside this cave; how then to meet fellow daoist?”
Mo Fan chuckled lightly and shook his head, no longer wasting words, directly asking: “Why did you order your kin demons to search for the Ying Ying monster?”
“Ying Ying monster?”
The black-armoured female demon paused upon hearing this, her brows knitting deeper, counter-asking: “Who is the Ying Ying monster?”
“Spare this king the pretence; I already said it was you who ordered your kin demons to search for that monster!” Mo Fan said gravely.
At these words, the black-armoured female demon’s eyes turned, then she smiled: “Oh, him!”
“What relation does fellow daoist have with that monster? To care so much?” the black-armoured female demon asked.
Hearing this, Mo Fan finally lost patience; how could he not see this female demon was stalling for time?
Divine ability, Eye of Enchantment!
A red light flashed in Mo Fan’s eyes, and the black-armoured female demon was instantly struck, her gaze turning dazed.
“What is your name?” Mo Fan asked.
“I am called Black Armour.” The black-armoured female demon replied blankly.
“Heh! What a fitting name.” You Er was amused upon hearing this.
He noticed these demons’ naming seemed rather poor, most tied to their own features.
“Shut up!”
Mo Fan turned back, glaring fiercely at You Er.
Though his divine ability was domineering, it most dreaded interruption; once disturbed, the subject could easily awaken from enchantment.
You Er pursed his lips but dared not speak further.
The more he interacted with Mo Fan, the more he realised how terrifying this Black Wind Demon King was.
“Have you already sent word of this place?” Mo Fan asked again.
“Yes.” Black Armour replied blankly.
“Why did you order your kin demons to search for that monster?” Mo Fan asked further.
“Because the Black Dragon King issued a warrant, ordering us lesser demons to search for that golden demon!” Black Armour answered, though this time her resistance was clearly stronger.
Black Dragon King?
Golden demon?
Mo Fan frowned slightly; he knew not who the Black Dragon King was, but the golden demon must be the Ying Ying monster.
For the Ying Ying monster’s body was golden, as if cast from molten gold.
“Who is the Black Dragon King? Why does he want to pursue that golden demon?” Mo Fan continued.
“Black Dragon King…”
Black Armour spoke halfway, her dazed eyes suddenly clearing; her entire body retreated several zhang at once, staring at Mo Fan with a阴沉 face, snarling: “I have already notified Lord Black Dragon King; you outsiders shall be buried here!”
Mo Fan ignored Black Armour’s words, pressing gravely: “Who is the Black Dragon King?!”
“Do you think I will tell you?”
“Keep dreaming, prepare to die!”
Black Armour laughed maniacally, then turned into a wisp of demon qi, fleeing towards the cave depths.
“Female demon, where do you flee!”
Fu Shou, who had been waiting, chased instantly, shouting to Mo Fan: “Master, rest assured, leave this female demon to me; I shall make her submit obediently!”
Mo Fan was speechless but did not intervene; since Fu Shou wished to act, let him.
Though Fu Shou’s cultivation had fallen much after becoming a tiger ghost, his overall strength was greater than in life; subduing a mere mid-demon general Black Armour should pose no issue, Mo Fan thought.
“Your Majesty, that Black Armour just said she notified their demon king; shall we not flee?” You Er spoke worriedly at this.
“Flee? Why flee!”
Mo Fan sneered upon hearing this, saying calmly: “True or false, this king seeks that Black Dragon King precisely; if he delivers himself, all the better!”
“Ah?”
You Er’s heart jolted in shock, hastily advising: “No, Your Majesty! That is a genuine demon king!”
“So what?”
Mo Fan looked at the fellow, winking at him.
“Er…”
Seeing Mo Fan’s unflappable face, You Er was momentarily speechless, thinking inwardly: “Damn, nearly forgot, this Black Wind Demon King may not be a true demon king, but he is more savage than one!
A demon king seems fit only as a dish on his table!”
Thinking thus, You Er immediately plastered on a smile: “Your Majesty, I just feel it improper for you to act; one slip and you kill that so-called Black Dragon King, which would be wasteful.
Your Majesty, think: a living demon king is worth far more than a dead one, no?”
“You have a point, so if that Black Dragon King comes, you shall act; this king will guard for you!” Mo Fan grinned.
“Your Majesty, no, Your Majesty!!”
You Er wailed at once.
He had just broken through to early Foundation Establishment; how to fight a demon king?
Was this not seeking his death?!
“Your Majesty, let me act later, to test that Black Dragon King’s prowess first!”
The woman in black spoke then, her eyes blazing with battle intent.
“Yes, yes, Your Majesty, I feel the lady in black acting is more fitting; she is the recognised female war goddess of our mountain!”
Seeing the woman in black take on the Black Dragon King, You Er felt greatly relieved and hastily agreed.
Mo Fan looked at the woman in black, pondered, then nodded: “Very well.”
The group waited not long before the escaped Black Armour flew back, though her demeanour was utterly different, exuding a sleazy air.
Black Armour flew before Mo Fan, rubbing her face, chuckling: “Master, I am back!”
As Black Armour spoke, a mass of ghost mist flew out from her body, reforming into Fu Shou, who said to Mo Fan: “Master, I have checked this female demon’s memories; that Black Dragon King advanced to demon king in the past half year, named simply Black Dragon!
He now commands the entire Nether River, with very powerful strength!”
“As for why he pursues that golden monster, this female demon knows not.”
Mo Fan nodded upon hearing this, looking at Black Armour again, only to see her now awake, glaring viciously at him.
“If you cooperate well with this king, perhaps I shall spare you.”
“This king gave you a chance, yet you failed to cherish it!”
“Since so, then die!”
Mo Fan snorted coldly, golden light blooming from his brow, tiger stripes emerging; a divine chain shot out, instantly piercing Black Armour’s body. With the sound of dragging chains, Black Armour screamed, her demon soul ripped out alive, vanishing into Mo Fan’s brow in an instant.
“Thanks to master for the boon!!”
Fu Shou, seeing this, was ecstatic, turning into ghost mist and flying into the tiger stripes.
At the same time, figures appeared one after another outside Black Armour’s cave, each emanating powerful demon qi.
“Lord Black Dragon King invites you, visiting friends; please come with us!”
