Ten minutes later.
"Why isn't this kid here yet?" Hei Ta Er glanced at his watch and said impatiently.
Meng Li picked up a cup of nourishing tea from the table, drank it down, and chuckled, "That kid was exhausted all night yesterday. He won't be able to get here that quickly!"
"Let the kid take his time. We have plenty of patience to wait for him!"
As he spoke, he frowned, "Huh? Why does this tea have a strange smell? It's not as fragrant as usual?"
At this moment, a demon cultivator member, who was specifically making tea for him, leered and chuckled, "Reporting to Lord Meng Li, I couldn't hold it just now and urinated into your teacup. Who knew you'd drink it down so readily!"
"What?"
Meng Li's face immediately darkened. Enraged, he blurted out, "Bastard, do you want to die, daring to make me drink your urine?"
"Guards—"
He was about to order the demon cultivator to be apprehended.
Unexpectedly, the demon cultivator slid backward, shed his outer jacket, and in the blink of an eye, his appearance changed, becoming that of another young man.
This young man wore a snow-white casual outfit, a backpack slung over his shoulder, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, walking with a majestic stride, truly possessing a handsome and distinguished demeanor.
"Who are you?" Meng Li asked in shock.
The young man chuckled, "I am Cheng Xiao Fan!"
"Meng Li, I'll tell you the truth. All of Luo Lin's bone-loosening powder has been expelled into my urine. The urine you drank contains a large amount of bone-loosening powder. It should be you who falls to the ground!"
Upon hearing Cheng Xiao Fan's words, Meng Li's expression changed again.
He had not expected that the other party had not only seen through Luo Lin's attempt to put bone-loosening powder in his coffee long ago, but he could also disguise himself and impersonate one of his attendants.
"Quick, capture him!" Meng Li shrieked hysterically.
In his opinion, no matter how powerful Cheng Xiao Fan was, after being with two snake spirits all night, he would be exhausted and drained, lacking any significant combat power.
Several demon cultivator warriors let out strange cries and lunged at Cheng Xiao Fan.
However, before the demon cultivator warriors could reach Cheng Xiao Fan, he spun around, and a powerful aura erupted from him, directly sending the demon cultivator warriors flying back more than ten meters.
"Ah!"
The demon cultivator warriors fell to the ground, letting out screams, and immediately fainted.
How could this be?
Meng Li could not believe his eyes.
"Attack again!" he roared again, and dozens of demon cultivator warriors charged forward.
Clang!
Cheng Xiao Fan retrieved the demon bone blade from his spatial storage. Like a god of war descending, he sternly shouted, "With the demon bone blade, I am like the Demon Ancestor reborn. Whoever dares to oppose me will be slain without mercy!"
These last three words, uttered by Cheng Xiao Fan, sounded like thunder, deafening.
The dozens of demon cultivator warriors were so stunned they froze in place, trembling uncontrollably, not daring to take another step forward.
Meng Li trembled with rage and shouted, "Charge, kill that brat!"
Whoosh!
Before the demon cultivator warriors could advance, Cheng Xiao Fan swung the demon bone blade horizontally.
From a distance of fifteen or sixteen meters, the demon cultivator warriors had their heads severed from their necks and roll onto the ground, without even a chance to scream.
Dozens of bodies fell to the ground like a pile of fallen logs.
Killing with the demon bone blade was that simple and brutal!
The entire process was devoid of any hesitation!
Those present were all dumbfounded by what they witnessed.
"Activate the demon formation!" Meng Li yelled hoarsely.
As soon as he finished speaking, he slid from his rattan chair and fell to the ground.
The bone-loosening powder had taken full effect, and Meng Li had become as soft as a puddle of mud on the ground.
He struggled to get up but found his body unresponsive.
Meng Li panicked and shouted to Hei Ta Er, "Hei Ta Er, quickly, quickly help me up!"
*Pop!*
Hei Ta Er completely ignored Meng Li's pleas. Instead, he grabbed a beautiful woman standing nearby and kissed her fiercely.
This beautiful woman was Meng Li's third wife.
They had been secretly seeing each other for a long time, but dared not make it public due to Meng Li's power.
Now, seeing that Meng Li had been completely incapacitated by the bone-loosening powder, Hei Ta Er naturally no longer cared about him.
Seeing Hei Ta Er kissing the woman he loved in front of him, Meng Li went into a fit of rage, shrieking, "Bastard, what are you doing?"
"Get lost!"
Hei Ta Er kicked Meng Li aside and shouted to all the demon cultivator soldiers, "Fellow demon cultivator soldiers, from this moment on, I, Hei Ta Er, am the leader of the demon cultivator world!"
"Everyone, immediately activate the demon formation and capture this Huaxia brat!"
Boom!
With a deafening roar, spiderweb-like cracks appeared all over the ground of the plaza.
Thick black smoke billowed from the cracks in the ground. Before the black smoke had dissipated, a group of ghoul-like creatures clawed and bared their fangs as they emerged from underground.
These ghouls, upon facing this world, let out excited howls, greedily sensing the vibrant life force that permeated the world.
At that very moment, thousands of demon cultivator soldiers emerged from the surrounding woods.
They also let out strange, echoing cries, which the ghouls heard and immediately ran towards the demon cultivator soldiers with excitement.
In the blink of an eye, the demon cultivator soldiers merged with the ghouls, transforming into monsters that were neither fully human nor fully ghoul.
Wielding long sabers, they roared and pounced at Cheng Xiao Fan from all directions.
Is this the demon formation?
Cheng Xiao Fan could feel the demonic nature of this formation.
Thankfully, his Bai Goddess had not come along.
From the shouts of the demon cultivator soldiers, a powerful, corrosive essence emanated, capable of invading one's mind and destroying the neural pathways.
Ordinary cultivators could not resist the erosion of such sounds!
Although Bai Yi Ling's cultivation of ancient martial arts had reached a certain level, she would have no power to fight back against these human-ghoul like demon cultivator soldiers.
Facing the charging demon cultivator soldiers, Cheng Xiao Fan raised the demon bone blade and swung it fiercely towards the sky.
Seeing this, Hei Ta Er thought Cheng Xiao Fan's brain had been damaged by the sound emitted by the demon formation.
He swung his demon bone blade not at the demon cultivators within the formation, but at the sky.
"Hahaha, this Huaxia brat is no match for my powerful demon formation!" Hei Ta Er laughed triumphantly.
But!
Just as he was reveling in his triumph, a bizarre phenomenon occurred.
Crack, crack!
Arm-thick bolts of lightning, like inverted fireworks, rained down from the sky onto the ground.
Boom, boom, boom!
For a time, heavenly thunder rolled!
"Roar!"
"Heavens, it's heavenly lightning!"
"Heavenly lightning is striking!"
"Awooo!"
"Quick, dodge! Heavenly lightning is coming to take our lives!"
The demon cultivator soldiers immediately fell into disarray and hurriedly retreated.
However, before they could retreat far, over a hundred of them were reduced to dust by the lightning. Some ghoul-like entities, having escaped from the bodies of the demon cultivator soldiers, were also engulfed by the descending lightning.
