As the Life and Death Poison spread, the entire battlefield became shrouded in poisonous fog.
With vision blocked and the poison terrifying, all the cultivators panicked instantly. Hearing the shrill screams around them, even those who barely had means to resist the fog felt their legs go weak.
The poison was simply too dreadful. One moment a fellow disciple was joking with them, the next their skin turned pitch black, rapidly festering into stinking pools of pus and blood.
Even with magical treasures or spell lights protecting them, everyone could clearly see the erosion speed of the fog, making their hearts pound with fear.
Under such circumstances, let alone Foundation Building cultivators, even Core Formation cultivators shot into the air at once, planning to escape the poisonous area.
“Want to flee?”
“Not so easy!”
Mo Fan grinned ferociously. For him, the hunt had only just begun.
The next moment, demon power surged within him, and the tiger pattern appeared on his forehead.
Divine ability, Tiger’s Accomplice!
In an instant, dozens of charmed ghosts flew out from the tiger pattern, pouncing directly on all the cultivators in the fog.
Even the Core Formation cultivators were not spared; there were charmed ghosts like Immortal Deer, comparable to Core Formation cultivators, to deal with them.
Mo Fan did not order these charmed ghosts to kill outright, only to entangle the cultivators. Then he began devouring freely in the poisonous fog.
To maximise the Swallowing divine ability, Mo Fan simply manifested his true form, turning into a gigantic flying toad, becoming a storm that rampaged unchecked through the fog.
Originally, if these cultivators had united, they might still have had a chance to fight, even forcing Mo Fan into a sorry state.
But after the Life and Death Poison and the troublesome charmed ghosts appeared, the greed in these cultivators’ hearts was quickly replaced by fear.
How could they still think of bounty rewards? All they wanted was to escape the poisonous area as soon as possible and save their own lives.
Once fighting spirit collapsed, the fate awaiting these cultivators was merciless slaughter!
Wherever the toad went, neither human nor demon cultivators could escape being swallowed.
In the distance, Cang Gu frowned tightly. He noticed that ever since the poisonous fog began, numerous screams had rung out, shocking him once again with Mo Fan’s methods.
Just as he considered using divine sense to probe the situation inside the fog, the poisonous fog began to slowly converge, ultimately forming a sword pellet that flew into Mo Fan’s mouth and vanished.
Mo Fan appeared once more in Cang Gu’s sight.
Cang Gu’s pupils contracted sharply!
He discovered that all those cultivators had disappeared!
Only some bloodstains on the ground could testify that everything earlier was not an illusion he had conjured.
All eaten?
Cang Gu took a deep breath, his wariness towards Mo Fan rising another level.
Mo Fan, having restored his spiritual body form, merely glanced calmly at Cang Gu before looking up towards a spot in the sky.
Just now, one Core Formation cultivator had indeed escaped the poisonous fog, even using the power of his golden core to kill a Core Formation charmed ghost.
“It seems not everyone coming to the Dragon Ruins for treasure is an overconfident fool. There are still powerful cultivators!”
Mo Fan murmured inwardly, then flames rose from his body, wings emerged behind him, preparing to chase down the escaped cultivator and ensure he stayed on this island forever.
From the moment he struck, the fate of these cultivators had been sealed.
However, just as Mo Fan prepared to soar into the sky, he suddenly sensed a powerful aura rapidly approaching from afar.
Another powerhouse arriving?
Mo Fan frowned slightly, then saw a white figure appear on the horizon.
At the same time, a somewhat familiar voice rang in his ear.
“You really are here!”
Hearing this, Mo Fan looked towards the white figure in the sky, while his divine sense instantly swept out to probe the person.
The other did not resist, allowing Mo Fan to finally see her appearance clearly.
A white robe reflected the void, silver hair danced in the wind, willow brows and pink cheeks, red lips vivid, a beauty that outshone the moon and flowers.
This woman was none other than Bai Shuang!
After parting at Phoenix Cry Mountain, Mo Fan had not thought he would entangle with her again, yet here they met once more.
Bai Shuang was very fast, arriving before Mo Fan in mere moments, smiling as she looked at him.
“Little Brother Bao, it’s been a while. Don’t you recognise your sister anymore?”
Bai Shuang smiled as she spoke, her eyes bright and teeth white, breath like orchids, yet showing no trace of killing intent.
Mo Fan frowned upon hearing this and asked, “How did you come here?”
At this point, his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Bai Shuang and said in a deep voice, “Has the Lei Yu family entered this space too?”
He knew Bai Shuang’s identity well. Although she seemed not favoured by the Lei Yu family elders, her talent was genuinely stunning, hailed as one of the Twin Prodigies of Phoenix Cry Mountain.
So her appearance must be closely tied to the Lei Yu family.
Thinking of this, Mo Fan urged his divine sense to probe the surroundings again.
Sensing Mo Fan’s vigilance, Bai Shuang immediately laughed, “Rest assured, I came here alone.”
“As for the Lei Yu family, they have indeed come, but not to this island yet!”
At this, Bai Shuang gave Mo Fan a deep look, a playful smile appearing on her face. “Stinky little brother, you’re in big trouble this time!”
“What do you mean?”
Mo Fan frowned, looking at the woman.
He still did not know her exact purpose here.
“We haven’t seen each other in ages, yet you won’t even call me sister?”
Bai Shuang blinked her beautiful eyes at Mo Fan, but seeing his cold expression, she rolled her eyes. “Fine! What a heartless demon!”
“The commotion you’ve caused this time is quite big. A direct disciple of Tianlu Sacred Ground has named you for a bounty.
Naturally, this did not escape the ears of Wind Thunder Mountain.
So to deal with you, the Lei Yu family has gone all out this time, not only sending the Second King Lei Yu Feng, but even the ancestor has come!
So… stinky little brother, I’m afraid you’re doomed this time!”
After speaking, the smile on Bai Shuang’s face gradually faded, and she looked at Mo Fan seriously.
Yet Mo Fan’s face remained calm, as if undisturbed, leaving Bai Shuang puzzled and somewhat disappointed.
She had originally wanted to see a look of fear on Mo Fan’s face upon hearing this news.
But she had miscalculated.
Mo Fan was indeed unmoved. From the moment Bai Shuang arrived, he had guessed some things, just not that even Lei Yu Zi Dian, the old monster, had personally come.
“You’re not afraid?” Bai Shuang raised a willow brow.
“If fear worked, why cultivate!”
Mo Fan sneered, then thought for a moment and said to Bai Shuang, “Thank you for telling me this!”
“It’s nothing.”
Bai Shuang waved her hand, then looked curiously at Mo Fan and asked, “So what do you plan to do next?”
“It’s not what I plan to do, but what you plan to do.”
Mo Fan said, gazing deeply at Bai Shuang.
He was no fool. Since Bai Shuang had come here to tell him all this, it meant she did not want him dead.
So it was hard to guarantee she had no countermeasures.
Bai Shuang was stunned upon hearing this, then laughed so hard her branches trembled, only stopping after a good while.
She dispersed the demon power around her, her spotless jade feet landing on the ground, stepping on soft fallen leaves.
“I knew I wasn’t wrong about you. You’re a clever fellow!”
Bai Shuang spoke, then glanced subtly at Cang Gu in the distance, not far from the Dragon Ruins stele, before casually waving her hand.
“Bang!”
The corpse of a human cultivator appeared out of thin air on the ground.
Mo Fan looked at the corpse and found it was the Core Formation cultivator who had just escaped, unexpectedly killed by Bai Shuang.
“You’ve broken through to Demon King realm?” Mo Fan looked at Bai Shuang in some surprise.
“No, I’ve only stepped halfway in.”
Bai Shuang shook her head, then smiled, “But that’s enough for me to kill these weak human cultivators.”
“So what is your real purpose in coming to me this time?” Mo Fan could not help asking.
“Simple. Cooperate with you, or rather, make a deal.”
Bai Shuang smiled brilliantly.
