Through Lao Ba’s words, Mo Fan instantly understood everything.
This One-Eye had no good intentions. The reason he brought so many demon soldiers here was twofold: first, to test Mo Fan’s reaction to the scorpion demon’s death, and second, to use the momentum of the crowd to pressure him.
In short, he was bullying Mo Fan for being a newly promoted demon soldier!
On a deeper level, it was also a further test of his limits.
For someone who practically shoved their face forward, Mo Fan felt there was no need to hold back. If he didn’t hit him, who would he hit?
So, he swung a fist at One-Eye’s cheek, sending him flying.
With so many demon soldiers around, even Mo Fan couldn’t take on such a force alone. The best approach was to find a weak point to break their momentum.
Clearly, One-Eye was that weak point!
So, if not him, who else?
In Mo Fan’s view, the demons of Black Wind Mountain were all hotheads. Only by displaying enough strength could he make them wary!
“You dare…”
One-Eye hit the ground, a trace of disbelief in his eyes, his face darkening instantly. But before he could finish speaking, Mo Fan chased after him and sent him flying again with a whip-like kick!
*Boom!*
A loud crash echoed as One-Eye’s entire body was blasted into the nearby mountain wall.
“You damned bastard, you’ve completely pissed me off!”
One-Eye roared in fury, letting out a deafening wolf howl before shooting out from the wall, charging straight at Mo Fan.
“Just a one-eyed old wolf, you really think this soldier fears you?!”
Mo Fan sneered, his demonic energy erupting, his body instantly growing taller by a significant margin.
From his original height of just over 1.7 metres, he shot up to over two metres. His robes, formed from his skin’s transformation, grew larger too, making him look instantly powerful and imposing!
*Boom!*
The next moment, their fists collided, unleashing a massive roar.
A shockwave rippled outward, causing the robes of nearby demons to flutter wildly.
The demon soldiers remained calm, though somewhat surprised by Mo Fan’s strength.
They hadn’t expected this newly promoted toad demon soldier to be so fierce, able to match One-Eye in raw power, shattering their assumptions.
It’s well known that while demons’ abilities vary after transformation, they’re closely tied to their original forms. The weaker the original form, the less impressive the demon, even after transformation.
It’s like how a rabbit demon can’t beat an eagle demon.
One-Eye, a wolf demon, might be blind in one eye, but in terms of raw strength, he should far surpass a toad demon.
So, this scene was somewhat bizarre.
As for Dali and the other lesser demons, their faces had already paled in fear. They were just minor demons, far from being demon soldiers, and naturally weren’t used to such scenes.
“How can your strength be so great?!”
One-Eye’s expression shifted slightly. He realised this Lai Bao’s power was not inferior to his own.
How could this be?
He was a wolf demon!
“Great?”
“Sorry, I haven’t even used my full strength yet, so… get lost!”
Mo Fan grinned ferociously. That earlier punch was just a test. His cultivation might not be deeper than One-Eye’s, but his strength absolutely surpassed him!
After returning from the Demon Spirit Mountain Range, his strength had reached an astonishing 5,000 jin. After breaking through to the demon soldier realm, it soared to 10,000 jin!
Now, having broken through to the mid-demon soldier stage, his raw physical strength had reached a terrifying 20,000 jin!
How could a mere one-eyed wolf demon compare to 20,000 jin of force?
With a low shout, Mo Fan’s strength surged, crashing towards One-Eye. A series of crackling sounds rang out as One-Eye let out a miserable scream, his body sent flying once more.
The watching demons couldn’t help but twitch their eyelids.
Lai Bao, this demon soldier, was far stronger than they’d expected!
“Ah… I’ll kill you!!”
One-Eye roared, now somewhat frantic with rage.
But before he could get up, a large foot stomped directly on his face.
One-Eye’s barely raised head was pressed back into the ground.
“Who did you say you’d kill?!”
Mo Fan’s cold voice rang out, his icy gaze looking down at One-Eye, his right foot applying slight pressure, distorting the other’s face.
“Damn it, I’m a demon soldier under the Fourth General. How dare you humiliate me like this!!”
One-Eye gritted his teeth, his heart filled with rage, his demonic energy stirring restlessly.
“So what if you’re under the Fourth General? I’m under the Third General!”
Mo Fan snorted coldly, then sneered, “This is Black Wind Mountain. We just had a test of strength. If you use demonic techniques or magic, you’ll break the rules. Then, even your Fourth General won’t be able to save you!”
Mo Fan’s words made One-Eye’s heart skip a beat, and the demonic energy surging on his body slowly dissipated.
Though unwilling, One-Eye knew exactly what Mo Fan meant.
Private fights weren’t forbidden on Black Wind Mountain, but causing deaths was absolutely prohibited. While he couldn’t match Mo Fan in strength, he was confident that with his demonic techniques, he could kill this toad demon!
But doing so would break the rules, and the Great King wouldn’t spare him.
“Damn it, I admit defeat this time. Get your stinking foot off!” One-Eye cursed under his breath.
Seeing this, Mo Fan withdrew his foot. He wasn’t trying to kill the guy, just make him submit and use this to intimidate the other demon soldiers.
“What do you all think of One-Eye’s earlier suggestion?”
“Does this soldier really need to prove himself?”
Mo Fan’s gaze swept over the gathered demon soldiers, speaking slowly.
“Hahaha… Of course not!”
As the demon soldiers stayed silent, Da Jiao burst into hearty laughter, strode to Mo Fan’s side, and kicked the just-rising One-Eye back to the ground, cursing, “You dog, you’ve got some nerve trying to use us as pawns!”
Then, Da Jiao turned to Mo Fan and said, “Brother Lai Bao, you’ve got real skill. I sense you’ve reached mid-demon soldier cultivation, right? To reach such a level in less than a year since joining the mountain, truly impressive!”
Da Jiao’s words made Mo Fan wary. He hadn’t expected this guy to see through his cultivation at a glance, but he replied politely, “I just broke through recently. How can I compare to you brothers?”
“Hahaha… I came just to watch the show, but you’re even more interesting than I thought. If you’ve got time later, come to my Moon-Gazing Cave for a drink!”
Laughing, Da Jiao turned and left. The other demon soldiers, seeing this, said nothing more and departed one by one.
Today’s commotion gave them a clearer understanding of Lai Bao, the new toad demon soldier.
Though a toad demon, he was a fierce one, both in brains and strength!
“Lai Bao, I’ll remember this humiliation. Don’t ever fall into my hands!”
One-Eye got up, looking dishevelled, spat a harsh remark at Mo Fan, and hurriedly left.
Mo Fan didn’t take this defeated foe seriously.
If he could beat him once, he could beat him countless times!
“What kind of demon is Da Jiao?”
Mo Fan turned to He Feifei.
“A rhinoceros demon. He’s not a patrol soldier but a personal attendant like me, and his strength is among the top demon soldiers,” He Feifei said with a smile.
“You seem unassuming, but you’re so fierce. You’ve really changed my view of you.”
“Honestly, I’m starting to admire you a bit. But I’m feeling sleepy now. Want to come to my cave and nap together?” He Feifei’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Mo Fan.
“So direct?”
Mo Fan was speechless inwardly but gave an awkward smile, “I’m tired too, but I’m not used to sleeping in another demon’s cave.”
“Fair enough, I’ll go then. But my cave’s always open to you, Lai Bao!”
He Feifei winked at Mo Fan, her hands transforming into her true form, sprouting wings, and she flew off.
Watching her graceful figure leave, Mo Fan touched his nose.
“Pity He Feifei isn’t a swan demon, or I’d have to taste that flavour!”
