The figure in the black mist was none other than Mo Fan.
“What are you doing!”
At this moment, his actions enraged Jiang Wu, who immediately glared at him with hostility.
“Senior, this matter concerns the fate of everyone in the entire Dragon Ruins, so as a precaution, this junior had no choice but to take such a drastic measure. If I have offended you, please forgive me!”
Seeing Jiang Wu’s anger, Mo Fan quickly lowered his voice to apologise, then added faintly, “Both seniors are Core Formation cultivators. Surely you do not fear that a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like this junior could harm you?”
“Do you want to die?”
Jiang Wu’s face instantly turned icy cold, staring at Mo Fan with murderous intent.
Nearby, Ghost Wood narrowed his eyes, then chuckled and said, “Brother Jiang, don’t get angry. This seat actually thinks the little guy makes a lot of sense.”
“Feel it carefully. This kid is indeed only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the magic treasure he holds is tattered and worn. Its power has long been greatly reduced, so it poses no threat to us at all.”
“So let’s hear what he has to say first!”
“We can discuss any issues later and resolve them, can’t we?”
Ghost Wood’s words immediately eased Jiang Wu’s ugly expression considerably, though they also made Mo Fan sneer inwardly. He thought, “Damn dog, worthy of being a demonic path cultivator. His calculations are truly loud and clear. If it were anyone else today, even after explaining the reason, they would probably not escape death!”
“And this Jiang Wu, a personal disciple of the Tianlu Sacred Land, actually colluding secretly with demonic path evil cultivators. The righteous human sects must already be rotten and chaotic, but this is good news for us demon folk!”
“Alright, whatever you have to say, say it quickly. This seat has important matters to attend to later.”
Ghost Wood spoke, and Mo Fan immediately snapped back to attention. He said respectfully, “It’s like this. An elder from my sect has discovered something extraordinary!”
“Oh? What is it?”
Ghost Wood and Jiang Wu were instantly drawn in by Mo Fan’s words.
“That elder discovered Witch Clan cultivators, and that group of witches seems to be plotting something, intending to bury all the cultivators here!”
Mo Fan spoke gravely, and his words gave both Ghost Wood and Jiang Wu a huge fright.
Witch Clan?
The two exchanged a glance, but Jiang Wu suddenly frowned. He looked at Ghost Wood with puzzlement and asked, “Dao brother, why does your complexion look so bad?”
Ghost Wood was startled, then snorted coldly, “Brother Jiang, what do you mean by that? This seat is in perfect health!”
Jiang Wu frowned again, carefully examining Ghost Wood’s somewhat blackened face. He couldn’t be bothered to argue further and turned suspiciously to Mo Fan.
He realised that even though they were all within the ghost mist, he still could not clearly see the appearance of the person before him, as if the other party was deliberately concealing their features.
“Ku Mu, is it?”
“Come closer, step nearer, let this seat have a good look at your face!”
Jiang Wu stared coldly at Mo Fan and spoke in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Ghost Wood seemed to realise something too and said to Mo Fan, “Kid, come here, let this seat take a proper look!”
“Yes!”
Mo Fan nodded, walking straight towards the two, his head slightly lowered.
Soon, he was much closer, merely inches away.
“Raise your head!”
Jiang Wu snorted coldly. Looking at the figure before him, a sense of familiarity surged in his heart, putting him on high alert.
“Alright!”
Mo Fan grinned, truly lifting his head. His eyes met theirs directly, red light flashing within them, followed by two bursts of golden light exploding forth!
Divine ability, Enchanting Eyes!
Divine ability, Bewildering Golden Light!
In a brief instant, two spiritual divine abilities were unleashed.
A dazed look flickered in Ghost Wood’s eyes, while a large expanse of golden divine light poured from Jiang Wu’s brow, actually resisting Mo Fan’s abilities.
Surprise flashed in Mo Fan’s eyes, and as he opened his mouth, a scarlet object shot out abruptly.
Divine ability, Tongue Arrow!
Whoosh!
The sound of something piercing the air rang out, and the spear-like tongue arrow directly pierced Ghost Wood’s chest.
“Ah!”
Ghost Wood let out a scream, waking up at the same time. He roared in fury, “You’re courting death!”
With that, he tried to mobilise his spiritual power to counterattack Mo Fan, but the moment he did, he discovered massive amounts of toxin invading his heart meridians. He vomited blood violently, and his spiritual power instantly fell into chaos!
Divine ability, Devour Heaven!
At that moment, Ghost Wood’s body was yanked back by the tongue arrow and swallowed whole by Mo Fan in an instant!
“Who the hell are you?!”
Jiang Wu flew into a rage, raising his hand to slap Mo Fan.
“I’m your grandpa!”
Mo Fan laughed loudly, his right arm suddenly swelling.
Divine ability, Multiplication Technique!
“Unfilial grandson, watch grandpa teach you a lesson!”
Mo Fan swung his right arm, slapping Jiang Wu flying with one blow.
Jiang Wu’s right arm was directly shattered into a cloud of blood mist by the immense force!
Mo Fan’s physique was already powerful, and after devouring countless dragon-blood creatures recently, his body had undergone a qualitative leap.
In close combat, he now feared no cultivator of the same realm!
Invincible in melee!
Jiang Wu roared in disbelief, unable to accept this reality. A golden lotus suddenly flew from his brow, releasing endless Geng Metal qi to assault and kill Mo Fan.
“Die!!!”
Jiang Wu’s face was full of fury. He, the renowned Thousand Illusion Prince and personal disciple of Tianlu Sacred Land, had actually lost an arm here to an unknown cultivator. It drove him mad with anger.
Terrifying Geng Metal qi erupted, transforming into golden lotus petals that slashed towards Mo Fan.
Having already experienced the might of those petals, Mo Fan naturally knew how terrifying they were. He immediately activated his Dragon Qi Body Protection divine ability.
In an instant, golden light enveloped his body, and a faint golden dragon appeared on his surface, roaring at Jiang Wu with a dragon cry.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!
The golden lotus petals exploded into brilliant flames upon striking Mo Fan, yet they could not breach his dragon qi protection at all.
Seeing that the dragon qi could indeed block the attacks, Mo Fan no longer feared anything. He stepped forward to Jiang Wu and punched!
Little Thunder Sound Fist!
Boom boom boom!
Every punch Mo Fan threw unleashed terrifying thunder might. Sensing something, he simply manifested his lightning mark as well, bathing his entire body in thunder light, resembling a thunder god.
He fought with wide, open movements, combining Little Thunder Sound Fist with Seven Star Dragon Step, pushing his strength advantage to the extreme. Every punch forced Jiang Wu to spit blood.
At first, Jiang Wu could counter once or twice, but after realising he could not breach Mo Fan’s defence, he devoted all the power of the Thousand Illusion Golden Lotus to protecting himself.
Even so, he was still sent flying repeatedly, vomiting blood constantly. Later, his expression changed drastically as he discovered toxin wreaking havoc inside him, beginning to erode towards his heart meridians.
“Hahahaha… so you got poisoned too!”
Seeing Jiang Wu’s skin gradually turn black and the blood he spat become black as well, Mo Fan understood everything.
Jiang Wu’s face darkened. He was certain he had not been poisoned earlier, because from start to finish he had been protected by his body shield, not even touching a wisp of ghost mist. How could he be poisoned?
After thinking it through, he finally realised the source.
“It was you!”
“You were the one who poisoned Lu Yuyao?!”
Jiang Wu roared in rage, instantly guessing Mo Fan’s identity. No wonder he had felt so familiar earlier.
But his words also made Mo Fan narrow his eyes slightly. After a brief deduction, he suddenly understood.
“Good grandson, you actually devoured your own junior sister and framed everything on grandpa. This is simply outrageous!”
“Today, grandpa will carry out heavenly justice and eat you, you scum of Tianlu Sacred Land!”
