Although this airspace had become much more dangerous, even the smallest spatial rift could not escape the detection of divine sense.
So, during the journey that followed, Mo Fan still cautiously approached the island slowly.
As the distance to the island grew closer, Mo Fan also spotted traces of many cultivators, though most of these cultivators were now wary of each other, with a few engaging in fierce battles.
Although he had already gained some understanding of this place from the Black Dragon King’s memories, witnessing it with his own eyes still made Mo Fan feel waves of dangerous aura.
“It really is chaotic enough!”
Mo Fan frowned slightly, and immediately landed with Lu Yuyao on a small hill on the outskirts of the island.
Their arrival naturally drew the attention of many cultivators on the island.
“A mere demon general dares to come here to seek treasures, truly courting death!”
As soon as Mo Fan steadied his footing, a cold voice rang in his ears.
He frowned slightly and turned to look, only to see a middle-aged burly man on a nearby small hill.
The burly man had dark skin and a tall, muscular build, with bulging muscles like coiled dragons on his body. He was sitting cross-legged there, over half a zhang tall, resembling an iron tower.
It was this cultivator who had spoken mockingly. Mo Fan immediately activated his divine ability and saw the man’s cultivation clearly at a glance.
Mid-Core Formation stage!
Perhaps seeing Mo Fan’s calm expression without any trace of fear, the burly man withdrew his gaze and said no more.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of continuing to provoke him, Mo Fan was too lazy to bother. His eyes turned, and he cast a concealment technique to hide his aura.
“Hahahaha… Thinking of concealing your aura now is a bit too late!”
Suddenly, a grating voice sounded.
Mo Fan looked up and saw a yellow-robed youth flying over, looking down condescendingly at the demon and the human.
His gaze swept over Mo Fan and finally focused on Lu Yuyao.
Perhaps sensing the aura on Lu Yuyao, the yellow-robed youth frowned and asked her, “Fellow Daoist, is this demon your companion?”
Lu Yuyao’s eyes turned upon hearing this, and she immediately shook her head, saying in a cold tone, “I do not know him.”
“That’s excellent!”
The yellow-robed youth was delighted and turned to the nearby cultivators, grinning as he said, “Everyone, I plan to take this demon as my mount. Do you fellow Daoists have any objections?”
The cultivators did not speak up, but the middle-aged burly man not far away chuckled and said, “If you have the ability, he naturally belongs to you!”
Upon hearing this, the yellow-robed youth frowned, a flash of displeasure in his eyes, but his expression changed slightly upon sensing the burly man’s cultivation. He immediately cupped his hands toward the man and said, “In that case, I shall accept this favour!”
With that, the yellow-robed youth turned his gaze back to Mo Fan and sneered, “Demon, I am Yu Heng, a direct disciple of Huangxuan Valley. Meeting me is your fortune. Follow me from now on, and I guarantee you can break through to the Demon King realm!”
A cultivator from Huangxuan Valley?
The nearby cultivators’ expressions changed slightly upon hearing this.
Mo Fan took all of this in. Clearly, this Huangxuan Valley seemed to hold some influence.
But this Yu Heng was too arrogant, actually妄想 to subdue him as a mount?
So Mo Fan smiled mockingly and said, “I see you have only just formed your core not long ago, yet you speak such big words about guaranteeing my breakthrough to the King realm?
Are you the fool, or am I?
Wanting to get something for nothing without assessing your own capabilities!”
Yu Heng’s eyes flashed with killing intent upon hearing this. With a casual wave of his hand, a ring appeared in his grasp. He snorted coldly and said, “This seat gives you one last chance. Put on this Beast Control Ring voluntarily and follow me, and you shall live!”
Lu Yuyao’s face twitched slightly at these words, and she immediately took a small step back, looking at Mo Fan with a cold smile.
Mo Fan was unconcerned and did not even pay attention to this Yu Heng. His gaze swept over the surrounding human cultivators who were watching the spectacle. He knew he must take down this Yu Heng with thunderous means to thoroughly intimidate these fellows.
Otherwise, it might provoke them to attack him all at once.
The reason they had not acted yet was simply to use Yu Heng to test his strength.
With this in mind, Mo Fan looked up at Yu Heng and smiled, “Alright!”
Yu Heng was stunned. He had not expected this demon to agree so readily. Just as he was about to say something, the other party vanished from his spot.
So fast!
Yu Heng’s pupils contracted. How could he not know he was being toyed with?
His face darkened immediately. With a quick pinch of his fingers, he cast a golden light shield around himself.
But in the next moment, the golden light shield shattered directly, and an arm pierced straight through his chest, grasping a brilliant golden core!
What?!
This scene shocked all the surrounding cultivators, their faces changing in unison!
That was a Core Formation cultivator!
Even if he had just formed his core recently, it was still the Core Formation stage!
Yet unexpectedly, this demon pierced through his body in a single exchange, which truly frightened them.
“Core Formation cultivator, nothing more than this!”
“Truly… too weak!”
Mo Fan grinned, utterly unmoved by the power erupting from the golden core in his right palm. He opened his mouth, which instantly grew enormous, and bit off Yu Heng’s head!
Yu Heng’s life aura dissipated completely.
Mo Fan’s mouth was full of blood. He withdrew his bloody right hand and let the headless corpse fall to the ground before him.
His icy gaze swept over the surrounding cultivators as he said indifferently, “This king comes only for opportunities and does not wish to cause trouble, but that does not mean this king fears trouble!”
“If any of you wish to become this king’s food, feel free to try!”
With that, Mo Fan opened his mouth and directly took the headless corpse on the ground into his body space. But this scene appeared differently in the eyes of the other cultivators.
It was as if Mo Fan had not spared even the corpse and had eaten it directly!
After doing all this, demonic energy surged around Mo Fan’s body, instantly clearing the blood from his right arm. Then, he tossed the golden core in his hand into his mouth like candy.
When Mo Fan returned to Lu Yuyao’s side, she was already stunned in fear.
She had thought this demon who poisoned her would be very ferocious, but she had not imagined he would be this ferocious!
Not only did he bite off the other’s head, he even devoured the corpse!
“The next time, you will be my food!”
Mo Fan’s voice rang in Lu Yuyao’s ears, making her tremble all over.
He ignored her fear, spread his wings behind him, and flew away from the crowd directly.
Lu Yuyao naturally followed behind.
Yu Heng’s death made her fully understand her position, and she dared not provoke Mo Fan lightly again.
The surrounding cultivators silently watched the two depart, remaining utterly silent for a long time.
Only the iron tower-like burly man stood up from the ground, twisted his neck, and grinned, “Interesting!”
“That girl is wearing the Moonwhite Robe of Tianlu Holy Land. Good thing this old man is well-informed, otherwise if I had acted just now, I would have been in trouble!”
“That fellow is absolutely not some demon general. Damn it, he is pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger here!”
“But a direct disciple of Huangxuan Valley has fallen. Those protective fellows are probably going to explode with rage. There will be a good show to watch next!”
