The moment Mo Fan stepped into the Rune District, he took a deep breath.
The middle-aged woman from Walmart Plaza had already turned into scraps of skin. A terrifying magical aura radiated from Mo Fan's body, and not a single Servant Demonic Beast dared approach him.
Beside the plaza, on a ten-story-high terrace, two men dressed in black stood there, surveying the area as though they had no concern about being discovered by demonic beasts.
Suddenly, the Hook-nosed Man gave a surprised exclamation. "Interesting. Someone still dares to stroll down the street at a time like this!"
The other man, his face wrapped up, followed the Hook-nosed Man's gaze. A cold gleam suddenly shot from his eyes. "It's him!!"
"You know him?" the Hook-nosed Man asked.
"Of course I know him. He's the one who ruined my lord's plan and turned me into this. Lend me a few Black Beast Demons. I'm going to kill him!" the Face-wrapped Man said.
"Don't you have ten of your own?" the Hook-nosed Man frowned.
"He's an Intermediate Mage. I'm afraid something might go wrong!!" the Face-wrapped Man said through gritted teeth.
"He's already an Intermediate Mage at such a young age?"
Though the Hook-nosed Man was unwilling, he still gave four Black Beast Demons to the Face-wrapped Man. His gaze toward Mo Fan was full of envy. Such a young Intermediate Mage—it would be best if he died!
Mo Fan walked to the center of Walmart Plaza, making sure Yu Ang would be able to see him and come over.
The light rain continued to patter down. Muddy rainwater mixed with blood, flowing into the sewers like tiny streams.
Mo Fan stared intensely ahead. Just moments ago, a shadow had suddenly appeared in the rain, and its filthy stench could be smelled from over ten meters away.
With a sidelong glance, Mo Fan discovered dark shadows hidden among the ruins around him. If nothing unexpected happened, Black Beast Demons had already surrounded him!
"Mo Fan, I never thought you'd come here to die on your own!" the Face-wrapped Man said coldly.
"Yu Ang? You got here pretty fast. What kind of look is that? Are you really that ashamed to show your face?" Mo Fan said lightly.
"Mo Fan!!"
At the mention of that matter, Yu Ang immediately snarled hoarsely.
"Your daddy's right here. Why are you calling for your daddy?" A wicked grin appeared on Mo Fan's face.
After a moment, Mo Fan suddenly came to a realization. "Damn, I lost out."
"It's all because of you!!!"
Yu Ang roared, his chest heaving violently and his gaze twisted with fury.
If it were not for Mo Fan, how could Lord Hu Jin have punished him? How could his face have become like this?
It was all because of Mo Fan that he had become this monstrous mess!
His hatred and resentment toward Mo Fan ran deep. He wished he could skin Mo Fan alive and devour him raw.
"I'm like this because of you!" Yu Ang said viciously.
"Oh, is that so? Then there's no need to thank me. This look suits you perfectly." Mo Fan danced wildly across Yu Ang's every last nerve.
"Good, good, good! You little bastard, and you're still talking tough at death's door. I'll soak you in foul water and turn you into a Black Beast Demon to keep by my side. I'll torture you every day!!"
Yu Ang waved his hand, and multiple guttural croaks immediately sounded from the surroundings. It was the excited call of the Black Beast Demons.
Fourteen Black Beast Demons emerged from the shadows. Working together, they charged at Mo Fan in an encircling formation.
Lowly beasts.
Mo Fan cursed inwardly. A sweep of his peripheral vision revealed fourteen Black Beast Demons—four more than in his previous life.
Why were there four more? Did Yu Ang have accomplices?
After scanning the area, Mo Fan turned his gaze back to Yu Ang. The golden light in his eyes grew increasingly brilliant and scorching.
Golden Radiance Solar Divine Halo
Golden flames suddenly ignited across Mo Fan's body, as though he had donned a gilded robe of fire. A vague divine halo appeared behind him.
Golden flames scorched the sky. The flowing fire spread outward like ripples on water. The moment a Black Beast Demon touched even the smallest trace of flame, its entire body ignited and vaporized.
Mo Fan clenched his fist. No wonder the Golden Radiance Titan was one of the most powerful creatures at the Commander level. He had only ignited one Dark Star, yet he had already gained such terrifying power.
If he lit up every Dark Star, wouldn't he truly possess the power of a Golden Radiance Titan?
Terrifying heat radiated outward. The firelight shone onto Yu Ang's face, making it swell with pain.
"Y-you... what kind of monster are you??"
Yu Ang looked terrified as he stared at the fiery demon before him.
He had thought fourteen Black Beast Demons would be enough to take down Mo Fan without fail. He never expected Mo Fan to use some unknown power and summon such horrifying flames!
Mo Fan did not answer. He walked toward Yu Ang and opened his palm.
Black-gold sparks drifted from his palm. When they landed on Yu Ang, they effortlessly burned through his body.
The sparks poured densely from Mo Fan's palm like a swarm of locusts. The agony Yu Ang suffered was worse than having ten thousand arrows pierce his heart, and Mo Fan deliberately prolonged the torment!
Mo Fan had brutally slaughtered every member of the Black Flood Pavilion he encountered on the way here. If they died too easily, how could he face the people who had perished in the Bocheng disaster?
My strength is still too weak to save your lives, but I can at least avenge you.
After dealing with Yu Ang, Mo Fan finally felt the knot in his heart loosen.
After entering the underground supermarket where Xin Xia had hidden in his previous life and gathering some supplies, he rode the Dark Stone Motorcycle back to the Safe Zone.
Mo Fan gritted his teeth as he emerged from the city district, then turned back for one last look. Through the vast curtain of rain, he could still see the enormous, savage figure of the Winged Azure Wolf, along with several tiny black shadows circling it like flies.
The Winged Azure Wolf would probably be lured out of the city soon. The reinforcements would arrive at dawn tomorrow. I should return to the Safe Zone first and continue collecting spirit essences tomorrow.
Inside the Safe Zone, Mo Fan returned to Zhang Xiaohou and the others with a huge backpack stuffed full of supplies.
Zhang Xiaohou, Zhou Min, Mu Bai, and the others were all meditating. Only Wang Sanpang was still awake.
"Why aren't you meditating?" Mo Fan asked as he took off his backpack.
"My Spiritual Power hasn't cooled down yet. Boss Mo, are these the supplies you scavenged?" Wang Sanpang asked excitedly.
"Yeah. Help me keep an eye on them. I'm going to check on my dad and my sister." Mo Fan set the backpack on the ground.
"Got it, Boss Mo! With me watching them, go ahead without worry!"
Mo Fan crossed nearly half the camp and arrived at the injured area. It had been partitioned off with white cloth to prevent infection from germs.
Since Xin Xia had difficulty moving around, she could only help prepare medicine and treat the injured.
"Little Xin Xia, have you eaten?" Mo Fan stood beside Xin Xia and thoughtfully wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Brother Mo Fan!"
Surprise and delight shone in Xin Xia's eyes.
But Mo Fan's heart ached for her. Xin Xia had been saving people since the disaster began, yet she still had not gotten any proper rest.
This was the first night of the Bocheng disaster, and also the most unforgettable night for Bocheng's people. So many ordinary meetings had unexpectedly become their final farewells.
When the night passed and dawn arrived.
The Rising Sun parted the clouds and mist. The rain of disaster finally stopped, and clear, warm sunlight fell upon the mountains, rivers, and shattered city.
Mo Fan woke the moment sunlight fell across his face.
Xin Xia was leaning against his chest. Her delicate little face was filthy, but she still looked adorable even so.
The people around them suddenly erupted into cheers. At some unknown moment, a group of snow-white creatures riding the sunlight had appeared overhead.
It was reinforcements. The reinforcements had arrived.
The Sky Eagle Legion was here!!
