Chapter 682: Mao Mao Goes to Battle

"Then let’s fight?" Fang Lie said disdainfully, "Do you really think I can knock down the Ximen family clan and be afraid of just a few turtles and crabs?"

"I’m not afraid either!" Mo Lanyun said proudly, "I don’t believe anyone can stop my Self-detonating Spiritual Roots!"

"And me!" Mao Mao quickly added, "Hehe, although I’m not as strong as my senior brothers and sisters, I’ve never lost a fight!"

Seeing the confidence of these three, Huo Wufang and the others were speechless. If others had been so arrogant, they would have scolded them and felt obliged to teach them a lesson as elders.

However, the three Thunder Tribulation Immortals had no grounds to refute the bold claims made by them.

There’s no need to mention Fang Lie; he alone forced the three Great Semi-Immortals to admit defeat. Even the Thunder Tribulation Immortals had no right to point fingers in front of him.

Mo Lanyun was even more impressive. In the past, she might not have been so confident, but ever since she obtained Fang Lie’s Nirvana Fire Seed, which allows her to revive continuously, her strength underwent an astonishing transformation.

The forbidden techniques she once dared not use, the killing moves, had now become part of her regular tactics. Just with the power of her Self-detonating Spiritual Roots, who could withstand it?

As for Mao Mao, she might be the weakest of the three and the last to debut, yet she was also the most extraordinary.

Thinking back to the time she single-handedly escorted a treasured item back, and all the powerful cultivators she defeated along the way gave everyone chills. In that one encounter, she had already defeated more than three Thunder Tribulation Immortals, which was the total number of all the Thunder Tribulation Immortals present! Such a formidable presence, who could control her? Who would dare to?

These three great talents were nearly impossible to find in the entire Great Thousand World for thousands of years. Yet now, they appeared in the same era and all belonged to the Mo Sect.

This was both an opportunity and a source of calamity for the Mo Sect! Once other sects wanted to eliminate these three, the Mo Sect could be in trouble too, and even if they weren’t destroyed, they would definitely suffer severe losses.

Realizing this, Huo Wufang decided to bring them down a notch to prevent their arrogance. So he smiled slightly and said, "You may not know, but duels with demons are different from those with humans. In a duel with demons, they have the right to bring their subordinates, equivalent to human Dao soldiers. You may easily defeat one Greater Demon, but how much chance do you have against billions of demons, especially when they combine their Bloodline Divine Skills?"

"This~" The three of them turned serious upon hearing this.

Quickly, Fang Lie was the first to respond, "I have three hundred clones, plus the Netherworld Ghost Fire warship, and my undying nature. Even if it’s a battle of attrition, I can still outlast them. I don’t believe I can’t win!"

"I have over a hundred Nirvana Fire Seeds, meaning I can perform over a hundred Self-detonating Spiritual Roots, each covering an area of ten thousand miles~" Mo Lanyun winked and said with a smile, "I think, no one can withstand my crazy barrage, right?"

When Mo Lanyun said this, Huo Wufang and the others were at a loss for words and felt a mix of envy, jealousy, and all sorts of emotions bubbling up.

Given the power of the Self-detonating Spiritual Roots, one could almost heavily injure any Eighth-rank Demon King’s tribe with just one. If they had over a hundred, even if the five great Demon Kings teamed up, they’d probably be wiped out in a few hits.

At this time, it became clear just how biased Master Mo Qianxun was. Fang Lie’s Nirvana Fire Seeds were not so easy to accumulate; cultivators like Mo Lanyun, who had profound magic, needed more than half a year to gather one.

Nirvana Fire Seeds were life-saving items that everyone desired. Ever since this treasure appeared, it had been the pursuit of every disciple of the Mo Sect; anyone qualified wanted one desperately.

But the demand was high, while the output was low. Fang Lie had only left a few clones, and even if he produced Nirvana Fire Seeds daily, he couldn’t produce many.

So many elders at the Wind Tribulation Immortal level could only have one for protection. Fire Tribulation Immortals fared a bit better, but not many had two.

But Mo Lanyun had a remarkable number in the triple digits, almost as if two clones were specifically created to produce Nirvana Fire Seeds for her. This level of favoritism truly left everyone speechless.

Even Mao Mao did not get a single fire seed from Mo Qianxun. There was nothing to be done; Fang Lie had prepared quite a few clones at home, so Mao Mao could only use her own fire seeds and couldn’t occupy the Mo Sect’s public quota.

Fortunately, Mao Mao had fierce combat power and didn’t actually need that many resurrection chances. She smiled and said, "I may be the weakest, but I don’t think there’s any Demon King I can’t defeat, right?"

Look at how she spoke; it was both gentle and commanding! Her tone was soft, yet the conclusion was incredibly bold, downright looking down on those famous Demon Kings.

If anyone else dared to say this, the three Thunder Tribulation Immortals would definitely scoff and remind them that there are always stronger people.

But with Mao Mao, Huo Wufang and others truly lacked the courage to say such things. Just Mao Mao’s Plague Spirit Immortal poison made them hesitant to provoke her. Dealing with brainless demons was like child’s play, right?

No matter the numbers on the other side, as long as they had no detox abilities, they were essentially throwing themselves at her.

So, at this point, Huo Wufang could only smile wryly and said, "Alright, since you all are so confident, go ahead and duel! But I want to make it clear, if you lose, we will definitely withdraw!"

"Understood!" Fang Lie nodded and said proudly, "I haven’t stooped so low as to default!"

"But the demons had reached this point!" Huo Wufang said gravely. "Even if you achieve total victory, remain vigilant. They might lash out in humiliated fury with full retaliation. Exercise utmost caution!"

"Understood!" Fang Lie nodded warily before departing with the two women.

Soon, Fang Lie, Mo Lanyun, and Mao Mao stood before the demon army.

"We accept your terms!" Fang Lie called out. "Who comes to die first?"

The Shadow Demon King sneered, "Who do you plan to sacrifice in the opening match?"

"I will~" Mao Mao and Mo Lanyun chorused simultaneously.

Mao Mao immediately objected, "Senior sister, you’ve already claimed glory once. Shouldn’t this be my turn?"

"Well…" Mo Lanyun forced a smile. "You’re right about the rotation, but with three matches total, the order matters little. Let me take the first while you handle stronger foes later. Agreed?"

Fang Lie hid an amused smile, knowing Mo Lanyun sought to avoid witnessing Mao Mao’s gruesome battle methods by fighting first.

Unaware of this, Mao Mao brightened. "Stronger opponents later? Splendid! Leave them all to me!" She retreated obligingly.

"Excellent!" Mo Lanyun nodded hastily before darting between the forces. "Mo Lanyun awaits! Who seeks death?"

The Shadow Demon King grimaced at her reappearance while fellow Demon Kings cowered, remembering how Blood Shark King’s self-detonating spiritual roots had annihilated eighty million Blood Sharks. None dared face this fearsome opponent.

Even the Shadow Demon King conceded defeat. "We yield this match. Withdraw!"

"What?" Mo Lanyun taunted. "Surrendering already? How pathetic for Demon Kings!"

The Demon Kings flushed with rage but stayed rooted, knowing their impotence.

Controlling his anger, the Shadow Demon King stated flatly, "Enough. First round yours. Proceed to the second match."

"How tedious!" Mo Lanyun shrugged, returning to Fang Lie. "Are they mocking us with this cowardice?"

"They recognized your superiority after Blood Shark King’s demise," Fang Lie chuckled. "Your display terrified them."

"Preposterous!" Mo Lanyun laughed. "If my skills frighten them, what of junior sister’s?"

"What was that, senior sister?" Mao Mao frowned.

"Nothing!" Mo Lanyun amended quickly. "Junior sister, show these fools your might!"

Nodding, Mao Mao floated onto the battlefield. "Next contender?"

"I’ll crush you," the Shadow Demon King declared, appearing hundreds of miles opposite her. Though intended as Fang Lie’s final challenger, his greed overpowered strategy – this treasure-laden girl seemed easy prey.

Other Demon Kings seethed silently, green-eyed at Mao Mao’s transformation. Backed by Fang Lie and Mo Qianxun, every item she wore radiated power: Seventh-rank rainbow-hued Daoist robes, golden Seventh-rank hairpin tassels, jade accessories, and glittering storage rings – an ensemble worth kingdoms.
