The white-clothed youth was truly powerful. In terms of attack power alone, he already surpassed the vast majority of mid Core Formation cultivators.
Since entering the Dragon Ruins, this was the first time Mo Fan had been casually broken through several layers of defence with a single sword strike.
One must know that whether it was the earth crystal armour, the dragon scales, or his own body’s defence, each was extremely strong. With the three layers combined, his defensive strength exceeded that of most magical treasures.
Yet even so, he still could not withstand the opponent’s single sword.
This caused Mo Fan’s gaze to gradually become solemn. Looking at the white-clothed youth flying out again from the mountain, a trace of wariness and anger arose in his heart.
Only Mo Fan himself knew how strong the force of that slap had been. It was the doubled power combined with the strike from the Heaven Swallowing Palm Bone, yet it only left the opponent somewhat dishevelled.
This showed that the opponent not only had formidable attack power, but his defence was equally unyielding.
However, no matter what, the fellow had attacked without a word, which still ignited anger in Mo Fan’s heart.
At this moment, the ghost slaves that had scattered and fled all flew back to Mo Fan’s side. When they looked at the white-clothed youth again, their faces were full of fear.
“Master, that fellow is too terrifying. The empowerment on his sword is not mere ordinary fire, but extreme yang fire capable of harming soul bodies like us!
Once that flame touches us, it rapidly burns our soul power, truly damaging our origins.
I even suspect the flame he wields is the legendary Heavenly Sun True Fire!”
One ghost slave spoke with lingering fear. Mo Fan remembered him well; it was Zhang Haoran, who had Core Formation cultivation and came from a second-grade sect.
Heavenly Sun True Fire?
In that case, the fellow was indeed a human cultivator!
Mo Fan’s expression grew grave. As the master of the ghost slaves, he naturally noticed that the condition of these ghost slaves around him was extremely poor, their auras having declined by more than half.
At the same time, he discovered that these ghost slaves were all at Core Formation level, while those that had perished were entirely Foundation Establishment ghost slaves. This showed just how terrifying the youth’s sword had been.
“You have all worked hard this time. Go back and rest well!”
Mo Fan spoke, easing the ghost slaves’ expressions slightly. They turned into ghost mist one after another, re-entering the tiger pattern mark on Mo Fan’s forehead.
They had truly feared that Mo Fan would order them into a death battle, which would only hasten their demise.
“You are quite sensible, knowing these ghost creatures cannot harm me, so you simply recalled them.”
In the distance, the white-clothed youth smiled at Mo Fan. At this moment, he had regained his full confidence, the blood at his mouth and nose already wiped away with mana.
“I have no acquaintance with you, sir, nor any grudge. Why do you draw your sword against me?”
Mo Fan also looked at the white-clothed youth, his expression unfriendly. At the same time, a glint of dark light flashed in his eyes.
Divine ability, Blue-Eyed Insight!
In an instant, the opponent’s information was fully perceived by Mo Fan.
But the information he saw shocked him greatly, even leaving him somewhat incredulous.
Because he discovered that the opponent was not human, but like himself, a demon!
Five-Tailed Heavenly Fox, possessing the bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, half-step demon king realm!
The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox clan?
Mo Fan’s thoughts surged. Though he had never heard of this Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox clan, the name alone suggested it was formidable.
Of course, what troubled him most was that so far, the opponent seemed not to have revealed any divine abilities unique to demon cultivators, and there was no demon power fluctuation on him.
From beginning to end, there had only been spiritual qi fluctuations unique to human cultivators!
“Could this fellow, like me, be cultivating both demon and spiritual paths?”
While Mo Fan murmured in his heart, the white-clothed youth opposite chuckled lightly and said, “Demon, I am a human cultivator, upholding justice for all humans under heaven. Naturally, I see demons like you as thorns in my eye and spikes in my flesh.
Exterminating demons, guarding the path, subduing evils, this is the duty of us human cultivators. What reason is there to speak of!
If there must be one, blame yourself for being born into the wrong womb!”
These words greatly enraged Mo Fan, demon qi instantly surging from his body. He sneered coldly, “What a fine upholding of justice for all humans under heaven!”
“I wondered why this fox demon has no trace of demon power on him, but is full of spiritual fluctuations. So you have long become a dog for the humans, a damned demon traitor!”
“This king hates traitors like you the most. Today, I must act for the demon path and eliminate you, this disgrace to demonkind!”
Mo Fan’s words stunned the white-clothed youth, who clearly had not expected Mo Fan to see through his true form. But he quickly recovered and spat, “Bah! You’re the demon traitor, your whole family are demon traitors!”
“Kid, since you’ve seen through this young master’s disguise, I cannot let you live!”
The white-clothed youth’s face gradually turned cold. Then, an astonishing sword intent emerged from his body, flames appearing in his eyes, as if divine fire flickered.
“Clang—”
The long sword hummed, gradually turning crimson, then covered in crimson flames.
A shocking pressure emanated from the white-clothed youth, sharper and more powerful than before!
Mo Fan’s expression remained calm, the demon qi on his body growing increasingly intense. Then, a layer of flames appeared on his body surface, instantly activating his fire spirit body.
At the same time, the tiger pattern mark on his forehead turned into a lightning mark, causing purple electric arcs to dance in his hair. A black long spike slowly emerged in his hand, and golden flying swords circled around him.
“Kill!”
This time, Mo Fan took the initiative, his entire body seeming to turn into a bolt of lightning, arriving in an instant!
“Swish!”
The white-clothed youth also slashed down with his sword!
Massive sword qi turned into fierce flames, directly rendering half the sky fiery red.
Before the sword qi arrived, the extreme sword intent already pricked Mo Fan’s skin with waves of pain.
Divine ability, Dragon Qi Body Protection!
In an instant, a golden dragon burst from the sea of demon qi within Mo Fan, dragon roars resounding as dazzling golden light erupted from his body.
The next moment, the black long spike in Mo Fan’s hand split into two, the earth crystal battle armour on his body instantly disintegrated, and the massive crimson sword qi broke through the flames on his body, as if to cleave him in two.
But at that moment, the sword qi finally touched the dragon qi on Mo Fan’s body.
There was no earth-shattering noise. The sword qi melted and collapsed like snow under the morning sun!
“What?!”
The white-clothed youth was also greatly shocked by this sight.
But before he could think further, a golden light fiercely stabbed towards his chest!
Ding!
A sound of metal clashing rang out. The white-clothed youth was once again blasted into the distant mountain, erupting with a massive boom.
Divine ability, Feather Kill!
Divine ability, Wind Thunder Light Wheel!
Immortal method, Great Five Elements Treasure Technique!
Mo Fan did not stop, but unleashed three killing techniques in one breath.
In an instant, endless crimson crystal long spikes and lightning long spikes flew from the light wheels, along with endless black feathers turning into a sky full of flying knives streaking forth!
And that was not all. Mo Fan once again sacrificed the demon king weapon Dragon Whisker Needle, turning it into hundreds upon thousands of golden needles bombarding away!
In the blink of an eye, endless attacks bombarded the mountain!
In Mo Fan’s words, it was to kick him while he was down and take his life!
