“Come out! Time to enjoy the delicacy you all have long waited for!” the Shepherd declared. Evil lunar-colored Stars connected in lines and combined into a dimensional gate.
A strong presence of evil burst out of the dimensional gate. Mo Fan first saw a pair of giant black horns emitting a strong aura of the dead. It looked like countless vengeful spirits were circling the horns.A black creature stepped out of the gate. The bound spirits were creatures that its horns had brutally killed and tortured. They broadcast their pain and fear at Mo Fan as they lunged at him.
Mo Fan could not care less about the vengeful spirits. He was staring at the creature with black goat horns.
As a matter of fact, the creature did resemble a goat, but it was standing like a human, its body leaning forward. Its chest, arms, and stomach were covered by black armor. It had hands, currently holding two blood-stained giant black hammers. Obviously the creature used the hammers to smash meat!
The Black-Armored Goat-Horned Demon let out a roar. The deafening cry penetrated Mo Fan’s Spiritual World eerily and disrupted the order of his Stars.
Mo Fan hated creatures with the ability to disrupt his mind the most, since he would have trouble using his magic. He took a few steps back.
Cheng Ying grinned cruelly. She waved her hands, firing blue light dots all over what remained of the bus. Several Man-Eating Plants grew out from them. Their stems and roots started attacking Mo Fan at his blind spots.
Mo Fan’s Spiritual World was still being disrupted by the Black-Armored Goat-Horned Demon’s roar. He had no choice but to keep moving back. When he noticed the bus was about to enter a tunnel, he decisively jumped out onto the flat highway.The second half of the bus lost control, and eventually slammed into the wall of the tunnel. Both the Shepherd and Cheng Ying jumped off the bus before it crashed.
Thick smoke rose as the bus burst into flames. Mo Fan glanced at the bus, his eyes emitting a silvery glitter.
Mo Fan controlled the bus that had erupted in flames with Telekinesis, hurling the bus at the Black-Armored Goat-Horned Demon. He would not let the creature utter that annoying roar again!
The Black-Armored Goat-Horned Demon swung its hammers and smashed the bus away and down the mountainside. The sounds the bus made as it rolled down the mountain gradually faded into the distance.
“Nine Dragons!” Mo Fan slammed his fist into the ground. The road cracked apart in front of him as pillars of lava burst out like fiery dragons, a spectacular and deadly sight.
The nine pillars of lava did not form the pattern of the Nine Palace, springing up in a straight line instead. A strong fire burst out as they approached the Black-Armored Goat-Horned Demon, instantly devouring it!
The creature’s armor turned blazing red from the heat, and the impact sent the Black-Armored Goat-Horned Demon flying. It took the creature some time to fall back to the ground.
However, a blinding lightning bolt swept across the dim sky and struck the creature before it reached the ground!
The armor of the Black-Armored Goat-Horned Demon was not effective against the lightning, especially when its damage was amplified twelvefold. Even its flesh blistered after the lightning broke through its armor!
The blast left a scorched hole in the Black-Armored Goat-Horned Demon, yet it soon rose to its feet, as if it did not feel any pain. It started swinging the hammers around again.
The hammers slammed into one another, unleashing inky-black sparks in Mo Fan’s direction . He dodged aside with the Fleeing Shadow, not daring to underestimate the dancing black motes.
The sparks crashed into the mountain wall and left huge cracks on it. A few seconds later, the cracks had drive deep into the stone. The mountainside soon shattered, and exploded into pieces!
Mo Fan glanced at the remains of the mountainside in shock. The creature possessed remarkable strength. The sparks it fired would crush a living thing to pieces!
“Man-Eating Plant!” Cheng Ying cast after she located him.
Mo Fan had turned into a tiny shadow standing at the entrance of the tunnel. The mouth of a huge plant came down from the ceiling of the tunnel and lunged at him fiercely.
The stomach of the Man-Eating Plant was extremely thick. Once the creature swallowed its target, not only would its victim struggle to break through its stomach, its strength would decrease significantly due to the plant’s secretions. The longer its prey spent in its stomach, the greater the danger it was in!
Mo Fan immediately cast the advanced Fleeing Shadow. His shadow split into six and fled rapidly in different directions. The shadows all looked exactly the same. It was unlikely that anything could tell which one was real quickly enough to attack him!
The shadows scattered like a school of fish. The Man-Eating Plant’s attack missed.
Mo Fan snuck into the dim tunnel. It was more favorable for him.
The Shepherd and Cheng Ying followed him into the tunnel, eager to murder him. Cheng Ying’s Man-Eating Plants were everywhere. Mo Fan kept feeling a chill going down his back wherever he went.
Meanwhile, the creature that the Shepherd had Summoned was clearly not as simple as it seemed. It was surprisingly quick, and suddenly charged at Mo Fan with a burst of speed. Mo Fan barely dodged the creature by sticking close to the edge of the tunnel.
“Nyx Regime!” Mo Fan did not want to be so passive in the battle, especially since the goat-horned creature was able to disrupt his magic.
Thick darkness billowed up the long tunnel. The lights inside it could no longer illuminate anything. The Domain would at least prevent the Goat-Horned Demon from roaring at Mo Fan directly!
The creature’s roars fanned out from it. Even though it did not necessarily mean Mo Fan could not hear the roar if he was behind it, the disturbance to his mind was significantly weaker, so he could Cast more easily!
“If you’re so keen on using these little tricks, my Black Goat General is more than willing to play with you!” the Shepherd called out disdainfully.
Cheng Ying and the Shepherd had no reason to stay any longer. It was obvious that the Enforcement Union was trying to follow them to the Black Vatican’s headquarters, and they were still in the Enforcement Union’s territory, after all. If they stayed too long, they would have a hard time running away once the Enforcement Union’s experts showed up!
The Shepherd uttered a strange chant that drove the Black Goat General mad. It slammed its hammers onto its chest. Every strike produced a ripple of black energy, and the creature began to grow!
After a few blows, the Black Goat General, which was initially around four meters tall, reached the ceiling of the tunnel. It continued to grow larger. The tunnel began to tremble under the pressure…
