In an open area.
A group of richly dressed cultivators sat casually in pools of blood, gnawing on severed limbs and arms, utterly unconcerned about staining their robes with fresh red blood.
From the sharp fangs in their mouths, it was clear they were demon cultivators who had manifested spiritual bodies.
Over ten zhang away from this group, a purple-haired middle-aged man sat cross-legged on a large stone, using his demonic power to refine a treasure before him.
It was a bronze tower artefact, buried here for who knew how many years.
Previously guarded by a large horde of dragon blood creatures, it had gone undiscovered for ages until a group of human cultivators skilled in treasure hunting arrived.
The dragon blood creatures were later wiped out by those cultivators, who suffered heavy casualties in the process, ultimately benefiting this group of demon cultivators.
Gazing at the palm-sized bronze mini-tower, a trace of excitement appeared on Lei Yu Feng’s face.
He had originally come to the Dragon Ruins under the ancestor’s orders to hunt that reckless toad demon, yet by chance obtained such a treasure.
This led him to forgo sharing the blood feast with his subordinates, eagerly refining the item instead.
At that moment, two figures flew in from afar, finally catching Lei Yu Feng’s attention.
He paid little heed at first, but upon recognising them, his expression changed.
“Bai Shuang!”
Lei Yu Feng frowned slightly, then looked at the black-clothed youth beside her, saying gravely, “How did you end up with this toad?”
At these words, the nearby demon cultivators gnawing on human corpses all stopped, turning uniformly towards the uninvited guests.
Mo Fan expressionlessly regarded the demons, noting the scarlet blood on their mouths and the hostile gazes fixed on him.
He paid them little mind, merely a bunch of demon generals.
“Lei Yu Feng, under the ancestor’s orders, I have captured this Hei Feng Mountain Lai Bao!”
Bai Shuang spoke then, instantly surprising the demons.
Ignoring them, she directly used demonic power to sweep Mo Fan towards Lei Yu Feng.
Lei Yu Feng kept frowning, but upon seeing Mo Fan’s blank expression, his heart suddenly leaped, and he shouted, “Stop!”
Yet Bai Shuang ignored him, continuing to fly closer, a smile on her face. “The ancestor said this toad demon Lai Bao is cunning by nature, if truly captured, hand him to you two great kings for verification.”
“Bai Shuang, I am your uncle, I told you to stop, did you hear!”
Sweat beaded on Lei Yu Feng’s forehead, he had sensed something wrong, and this was a critical refining moment, unsuitable for rash action.
“Uncle?”
“You deserve it?”
Bai Shuang sneered, then said calmly, “In all of Wind Thunder Mountain, besides Lei Yu Zi Dian, who can order me?”
At this, even the distant demon generals realised something amiss.
“What are you waiting for, stop her!” Lei Yu Feng growled.
The demon generals immediately flew towards Bai Shuang, attempting to block her path.
“These fellows are yours, I’ll handle Lei Yu Feng.”
Seeing this, Mo Fan dropped the pretence, breaking free of Bai Shuang’s demonic power, a lightning mark appearing on his forehead, black wings unfurling behind him, vanishing in a bolt of lightning.
“Bai Shuang, you dare betray our clan!”
Lei Yu Feng instantly understood everything, his face filled with rage.
“First worry about yourself!”
Mo Fan’s voice rang before Lei Yu Feng, followed by a whip kick that sent him and the bronze mini-tower flying.
“Wind Thunder Mountain’s second great king?”
“Nothing special!”
Mo Fan sneered, his body flickering to appear above Lei Yu Feng again, another punch slamming the still-flying Lei Yu Feng into the ground!
Boom!
A huge noise erupted, the ground smashed into a large pit, cracks spreading like a spiderweb.
“Cough cough…”
Lei Yu Feng coughed violently in the pit, blood at his mouth, fear in his eyes, gazing up at Mo Fan with a grim expression.
“Damn it, how could you toad become this powerful?”
He truly found it hard to believe.
During the treasure snatch at Red Fire Peak, he had chased this toad, yet how much time had passed?
The opponent now could beat him senseless, hard to accept.
“There’s much you can’t imagine, must this king tell you everything?”
Mo Fan sneered, spitting out the dragon whisker needle, looking down at Lei Yu Feng. “Time to settle our old scores!”
With that, he poured demonic power into the dragon whisker needle.
The needle hummed, instantly multiplying into thousands, streaking towards Lei Yu Feng in the pit!
“Want to kill this king?”
“Dream on!”
Lei Yu Feng snorted, demonic qi surging, the bronze mini-tower spinning up, instantly growing to ten zhang above his head, fully shielding him.
“Ding ding ding ding…!!”
Countless golden needles struck the tower, bursting with brilliant sparks, yet all repelled, unable to breach it.
Mo Fan frowned, spitting out a flying knife that grew massive, cleaving the void, slashing the bronze tower.
“Clang!”
The metallic clash rang out, the golden knife also repelled, not scratching the tower.
Inside, Lei Yu Feng, initially fearful, relaxed, laughing loudly, “Stop wasting effort, this king’s treasure tower is a defensive secret artefact, even if not a demon ancestor holy weapon, it’s close, what can a mere demon general like you do?”
Mo Fan frowned, raising a hand to unleash the great five elements treasure technique.
A crimson crystal light wheel appeared, shooting countless crimson crystal spikes, bombarding the bronze tower, yet to no avail.
Finally, infusing demonic qi, a massive crimson crystal spike over ten zhang long slowly emerged from the wheel, like a heaven-supporting pillar, crashing into the tower with a dull “thud”.
Buzz—
This time, the bronze tower hummed, a cyan light surging from it, instantly shattering the huge crystal spike.
“Hahahaha… this king said you cannot breach this tower!”
“Kid, give up! I’ve already transmitted to the ancestor, he will soon arrive, then you’ll die without a grave!”
Lei Yu Feng’s laughter echoed from the tower, grating on the ears.
“He’s lying, I’ve sealed this area with a minor void talisman, he cannot send any message outside unless he can break space itself!”
At that moment, white-clothed Bai Shuang flew over, several demon generals following.
Seeing this, Mo Fan’s eyes flashed, he smiled, “Nice methods, subduing them so quickly.”
“Not all demons are fools, some value their lives.
Of course, those who don’t, I send to hell!”
Bai Shuang smiled, then looked at the bronze tower below, frowning slightly, “He’s probably right, even demon king weapons cannot breach it, likely a secret treasure left by ancient mighty beings in the Dragon Ruins!”
“Bai Shuang, you bitch! Traitor, the ancestor will know of this, then this king will see your fate!
And you rebels, once this king emerges, none escape!
Including your families, this king spares none!
Hahahahaha…”
Lei Yu Feng’s mad laughter rang from the tower, paling the faces of the demon generals who joined Bai Shuang.
“Marked by this king, you think you can leave?” Mo Fan sneered.
“Toad demon, you cannot even breach this king’s treasure, how kill me?
If not for this realm’s laws, this king’s cultivation could slap you dead!
But no matter, drag time, the ancestor will notice the anomaly and come save me!”
Lei Yu Feng sneered repeatedly, believing Mo Fan powerless.
“About to die yet clueless, you think hiding in this tower leaves this king helpless?”
Mo Fan snorted, then opened his mouth.
Divine ability, Devour Heaven!
Instantly, a huge vortex emerged from his mouth, terrifying suction enveloping the entire bronze tower, uprooting it, shrinking it at visible speed, vanishing into Mo Fan’s mouth without a trace!
