Mo Fan’s appearance startled both combatants mid-battle.
But soon Yun Shan realised Mo Fan was solely targeting Jiang Wu and had no intention of attacking him. This relaxed him considerably, and he began intensifying his assaults on Jiang Wu.
Both Yun Shan and Mo Fan were powerhouses no less than Jiang Wu, at least in this Dragon Ruins.
Initially, Jiang Wu could still hold his own against Yun Shan, but once Mo Fan joined, his attack rhythm instantly fell into disarray.
Yun Shan was a cultivator with sharp dao arts and formidable treasures.
Mo Fan, meanwhile, was a demon cultivator with unparalleled physical strength and invincible close combat.
One focused on spells and treasures, the other on close-range dominance. Together, they quickly drove Jiang Wu to the brink of death.
“Grandson, time to settle last time’s score!”
Mo Fan grinned ferociously, unleashing punch after punch, each one majestic and infinitely powerful.
Under his ferocious onslaught, even Jiang Wu’s protective Thousand Illusion Golden Lotus struggled to hold. His body trembled, blood gushing continuously from his mouth.
“Jiang Wu, repay my sect disciples’ lives!”
Yun Shan sacrificed a mountain-seal treasure, thundering down towards Jiang Wu with unstoppable force.
Mo Fan’s brows furrowed slightly at the sight, and he dodged away instantly.
Boom!
With a massive explosion, a huge golden lotus bloomed in the sky, flinging the great seal aside.
When the lotus vanished, Jiang Wu revealed himself. His hair was dishevelled, his body battered, blood coughing relentlessly from his mouth, his entire aura instantly withered.
“Hahahaha…”
Watching Yun Shan, poised to unleash a second seal strike, Jiang Wu suddenly threw his head back and laughed wildly.
“Old Yun Shan, you’re Huangxuan Valley’s grand elder, yet you team up with the killer who murdered your personal disciple and junior brother to fight me. If your disciple Yu Heng and junior brother Yun Ting knew in the underworld, they’d probably be furious enough to scatter their souls!”
Jiang Wu’s words caused Yun Shan’s just-gathered momentum to falter instantly. His eyes turned blood-red as he roared, “What did you say?”
Mo Fan’s heart sank, sensing trouble. He transformed into a bolt of thunder-light and charged to kill Jiang Wu, shouting loudly, “This guy’s deliberately lying to buy time. Friend, don’t believe him!”
“Jiang Wu, you’re at death’s door. How dare you try sowing discord again?”
“Sowing discord?”
Jiang Wu laughed heartily, then turned to Yun Shan in the distance and sneered, “Old Yun Shan, look. This kid’s panicking!”
“You’re supposedly a half-step great circle Core Formation cultivator, yet you can’t even discern the demonic qi on this fellow?
He’s not the Blood Soul Old Ghost at all. He’s the monster who slaughtered your personal disciple Yu Heng on the island!
Why aren’t you attacking him now? What are you waiting for?!”
“Shut up!”
Mo Fan bellowed in rage, arriving before Jiang Wu in an instant. But then a talisman appeared in the man’s hand, and he flashed Mo Fan a brilliant grin.
This guy wants to flee?
Divine ability, Eyes of Charm!
Divine ability, Bewildering Golden Light!
In that split second, Mo Fan unleashed two mental divine abilities consecutively, instantly leaving Jiang Wu’s eyes dazed.
“Die for me!”
At that moment, Mo Fan’s punch shattered Jiang Wu’s protective golden light, then he sneered, “This time, I won’t give you any chance!”
With that, he opened his mouth wide, revealing sharp fangs!
Divine ability, Devour…
Mo Fan’s Heaven-Devouring divine ability had not fully activated when a golden lotus flew from Jiang Wu’s brow, plunging into Mo Fan’s sea of consciousness in an instant.
The moment the lotus entered, endless divine-sense condensed into Geng Metal qi erupted!
In a flash, centred on the lotus, it seemed to form a golden vortex, as if to collapse Mo Fan’s entire sea of consciousness!
Buzz.
At the critical moment, the Golden Coin deep in his sea of consciousness trembled slightly. Golden ripples spread through the sea, and wherever they passed, all divine-sense storms returned to calm.
When Mo Fan recovered, he discovered Jiang Wu’s body had vanished. At the same time, a massive sense of crisis surged in his heart.
He looked up to the sky and saw a mountain-seal crashing down ruthlessly!
“Monster, repay my disciple and junior brother’s lives!”
Elder Yun Shan roared in fury. At the crucial moment, he struck decisively, suppressing Mo Fan.
“Old thing, I knew I should have eliminated you first!”
Mo Fan raged. Dragon scales emerged across his body, his right arm enlarged, and he punched the seal’s base.
Boom!!
With a tremendous explosion, the mountain-like seal was flung away.
Mo Fan soared into the sky, charging towards Elder Yun Shan.
At the same time, another great seal descended from above, smashing Elder Yun Shan until he spat blood and flew backwards through the air.
Bai Tian Tian had acted!
Not just her. Bai Shuang and Hei Yi chose to strike at this moment too.
Instantly, Elder Yun Shan was enveloped by the demons’ attacks. Helpless, he could only recall his seal for defence.
Crack… Boom!
Amid a barrage of frenzied assaults, the mountain-seal treasure finally could not withstand the strain. It exploded in mid-air, and the terrifying force from the blast struck Elder Yun Shan first.
In an instant, Elder Yun Shan was like a kite with its string cut, hurled by that horrific airflow beyond the cliff, plummeting into the bottomless True Dragon Abyss.
Mo Fan frowned slightly at the sight. He was about to charge in when Bai Shuang’s voice reached his ear, “Don’t go in!”
“Why?”
Mo Fan looked at Bai Shuang, not understanding. After all, that old Thunder Universe Purple Lightning was down there.
“Stinky little brother, think things through. Do you really believe all these people around are idiots?
If it were safe down there now, do you think they’d still be waiting here?
Thunder Universe Purple Lightning must die, but not now.
The Dragon Ruins exit is beyond Blood Dragon Mountain, so you don’t need to worry about him escaping.
What we need to do now is wait. Wait for a sufficiently safe opportunity to enter the True Dragon Abyss!”
Hearing Bai Shuang’s words, Mo Fan instantly understood and smiled at her, “You’re absolutely right. I nearly let anger cloud my eyes.”
“It’s not your eyes that were clouded, but your brain.”
Bai Tian Tian flew over and spoke bluntly.
Mo Fan just chuckled and was too lazy to retort. His gaze swept over the cultivators at the summit, then he controlled the Soul-Devouring Banner to rotate around his divine body once, absorbing all the dense ghostly qi masking him and revealing his true appearance.
After that battle, his identity was already exposed, so there was no need to hide further.
Moreover, through this fight, he had established fearsome prestige. He had not only slain numerous Tianlu Sacred Land cultivators but also forced back Jiang Wu and sent Elder Yun Shan tumbling into the True Dragon Abyss, life or death unknown.
Any one of these feats alone would be shocking.
When all were tied to one person, it was not mere shock, but awe!
Thus, whether righteous or demonic cultivators, all now feared Mo Fan and his four demons greatly and had no intention of acting.
Instead, a handsome youth in green robes approached with his two attendants, smiling, “I never expected our demon race to have such a powerful demon cultivator brother. May I ask from which demon mountain brother hails?
I see brother’s strength is formidable. He must possess a divine body, and his true form is surely a greatly fearsome great demon, right?”
At these words, Bai Tian Tian and the other women frowned in unison.
They knew Mo Fan’s temperament well. He hated others mentioning his true form most.
Sure enough, Mo Fan’s expression darkened instantly. He glanced at this powdered pretty boy and said indifferently, “Sorry, this king doesn’t seem to know you. But friend, your spirit body is so handsome. Could your true form be a pheasant demon?”
The handsome youth halted abruptly, his face stiffening, his expression turning extremely ugly.
But soon he recovered, smiling, “It’s normal that brother doesn’t know me, but this beautiful white-clothed girl by your side does know me.”
“Oh?” Mo Fan raised a brow, immediately turning to Hei Yi beside him and asking, “You know him?”
Hei Yi studied the handsome youth seriously, then shook her head, “I don’t!”
“…”
The handsome youth’s face stiffened again.
