“Whoever tries to stop me will die, I don’t care if you are a general of whatever regime!” Mo Fan showed no hesitation.

It was acceptable if the soldiers at the bottom level did not truly understand the reasons why the war broke out in the first place, but how could officers like Ice Tiger and White Leopard not be aware of Wu Ku’s identity?

They were taking the side of the evildoer. Even if they did win the war, they would continue to bring disasters to their people!

The flames poured down and burned the woods by the Scorching River. Both sides of the river had turned blazing red.

White Leopard’s body began to melt away in the Calamity Fire.

His skin turned into white steam. His blood evaporated in a red mist. His flesh and bones were burned into ashes.

The people did not hear White Leopard’s cry of agony, but they witnessed how he perished and literally scattered like ashes in Mo Fan’s flames.

The enormous army was like puppets that could not withstand a single blow. They all fled for their lives after their general died.

Even the Frenzy Liquid could no longer influence their minds after they were overwhelmed by absolute terror. The only drive left in their hearts was their will to stay alive by getting as far away as possible!

Ice Tiger climbed to White Leopard’s location and shouted like he was having a mental breakdown, “Brother! Brother!”

Mo Fan was standing right beside him.

Ice Tiger turned to Mo Fan with a twisted expression. He did not look human, but a ghastly demon trying to swallow Mo Fan alive instead!

Mo Fan felt a strong murderous intent from Ice Tiger. “I can grant you your wish too, if you so want to die!”

Some people fled for their lives, others totally lost their minds. Ice Tiger was a perfect example. He had forgotten something important after he was overwhelmed by grief and anger.

Ice Tiger had not Awakened any Super Power, making him as petty as a wild dog in front of the King of Hellish Flames!

BANG!

Ice Tiger enjoyed fistfighting. Mo Fan decided to end his life with his fist!

He threw a punch right on Ice Tiger’s face as the man pounced at Mo Fan with defensive spikes erupting all over his body like a porcupine.

Unfortunately, Mo Fan’s punch was capable of destroying the ground and bringing forth the scorching lava below. His punches had razed woods and camps to the ground before filling the scars with lava.

The blazing lava did not flow silently in the scars, but continued to spread into streams like the roots of a tree, still triggering explosions occasionally!

The punch now was even stronger than the ones he had thrown before!

The lake was already beyond recognition, so was the river. It was more like a vein of black rocks under an ancient volcano, the sight of the apocalypse!

“What about you? You still dare to show up in front of me?” Mo Fan glared at Damon after taking care of the two brothers.

A Shadow Coward. A nobody…

Damon had referred to Mo Fan with these titles previously. He initially thought Mo Fan was just a little scout who snuck into their camp to gather intel, but he had turned out to be an unstoppable demon instead!

Ice Tiger and White Leopard were powerful generals among the Brown Rebel, only second to their leaders, but the young man had killed them without any hesitation!

“Who…who exactly are you!?” Damon’s voice was brimming with shock and fear.

“You have the highest authority here. My target has always been that scum from the Black Vatican. You should really consider if it’s worth sacrificing your life to fight for his sake,” Mo Fan answered in a steely voice.

Mo Fan had never had a good impression of the Brown Rebels. They were treating the Black Vatican’s Frenzy Liquid as something sacred and allowing themselves to be used by the Black Vatican. They were not fighting for the sacred cause they were claiming to!

Mo Fan’s Nether River was more than willing to accept their souls if they were so eager to die!

“Retreat to the camp! Everyone, retreat to the camp now!” Damon finally realized his place. He started ordering the soldiers and elite Mages to retreat from the Scorching River.

White Leopard had ordered the soldiers to block the Scorching River so Mo Fan would have to kill them all to reach Wu Ku.

Mo Fan was not an idiot. Why did he have to kill them all? He just had to destroy White Leopard and set an example. Were these soldiers really going to hold their ground to their deaths?

The soldiers and elite Mages were relieved after receiving Damon’s order. They did not dare leave when White Leopard was still alive, since he would execute them for disobeying his commands.

Damon had taken over now that White Leopard had been killed, meaning that their lives had been spared!

The way humans thought was very strange.

In a time like this, they were actually grateful to the demon who was slaughtering their army just a moment ago. After all, it was only a matter of time and effort for Mo Fan to wipe them all out.

Mo Fan had spared their lives by killing General White Leopard!

No one wanted to die. The motto of the regime was nothing but a slogan when their lives were being threatened. They were not saints who would die for their beliefs. The fact that they had lived after fighting a demon like Mo Fan was already impressive enough!

——

The army took some time to retreat. Mo Fan wove through the Brown Rebels in the Scorching River.

The soldiers quickly cleared a path for Mo Fan as they headed in the opposite direction. The burning footprints along Mo Fan’s trail sparked all of their lingering fears.

“Wolf Chief.”

Mo Fan was less than a hundred meters away from Wu Ku after passing the lake. There was only one person blocking his path. It was none other than Wolf Chief!

He possessed a strong will, unlike the soldiers. The fearless spirit of the Black Vatican was a lot firmer than the Brown Rebels’ slogans.

Wolf Chief did not dare move, yet he was unsure what he should do.

He had not expected that Mo Fan possessed such strength, despite being a chieftain of the Black Vatican. The information he had regarding Mo Fan had great disparities with reality!

“I have something else in mind for you,” Mo Fan told Wolf Chief.

Wolf Chief was confused. He did not understand what Mo Fan was saying. Was Mo Fan not planning to fight him in his current unstoppable form?

Did he have other powers which he had not used?

Wolf Chief was wondering what was going on. He did not notice a black shadow crept out of the spot where he had used his Blood Sacrifice Magic. It attached to Wolf Chief’s back without alerting him.

The black shadow had a surprisingly vivid face. It was grinning like a devil that had caught its prey.

“Do as you wish, Elder of the Shadow Tribe!” Mo Fan continued forward.

The target of the Elder of the Shadow Tribe was already doomed at such a close distance.

The Elder of the Shadow Tribe had always behaved strangely. Mo Fan had tried to Summon it to fight for him in the previous battle, yet it seemed uninterested. However, it became restless while Mo Fan was massacring the soldiers.

In the end, it had set its eyes on Wolf Chief, who had the Curse Element.

Mo Fan had no reason to waste his own energy.

Wolf Chief still thought he could keep Mo Fan at bay with the strange and unnatural power of his Curse Element.

Little did he know, he had already been reserved by an even more unnatural existence!
