Bang... The figure hit the stone wall opposite, instantly reverting to a blue fox.
"Who the hell hit me?" the blue fox snarled, baring its teeth.
"That's for speaking like that, it disgusted me! This way of speaking is much better than before. Come closer and say it!" Lu Fan pointed at the blue fox.
"You dare hit me? Roar..." The blue fox let out a furious roar.
Bang... A fist suddenly flew out and slammed into the blue fox's head. Thump... The blue fox fell to the ground, motionless.
"You killed the blue fox? I'll kill you!" The snow wolf beside it crouched down, gathering its strength, and lunged at Lu Fan.
Bang... Just as the snow wolf's sharp claws were about to fall on Lu Fan, a large fist suddenly slammed into its head. Thump... The snow wolf fell backward onto the ground, motionless.
"Oh... excuse me, everyone! I'm lost! Could you tell me if this is the way out?" The giant python, tens of feet long, flicked its tongue, shook its head, and suddenly turned, staggering out of the cave.
Slap... Lu Fan suddenly reached out, grabbing for the python's tail.
Whoosh... The python suddenly turned, opening its massive maw and lunging at Lu Fan, as if angered.
Slap...! A palm suddenly struck the giant python's face.
"Big brother! It's me... I mistook you! Please let me go!" The python's aggression instantly vanished, and it pleaded with a look of utter despair.
"Let her go! Or you will die a terrible... terrible... terrible death..." A sinister voice suddenly echoed, sending shivers down one's spine. Yet, no figure was visible, only the voice reverberating within the cave.
"Alright! I'll return her to you!" Lu Fan suddenly flicked his wrist, and with a bang... he punched the giant python. Whoosh... the python flew out.
Bang... The giant python's body slammed into something, and with a thump, a person was knocked down along with the python.
"Idiot! You're crushing me!" The person pushed the giant python away and got up. It turned out to be an old witch.
"Blood Demon Old Witch! You dared to leave the Demon Realm without permission! Aren't you afraid of punishment from the Celestial Realm?" Liu Ruyan suddenly stood up, her face filled with tension. She immediately moved to block Lu Fan.
"Hehehe... Snow Lord! The reincarnation of the Celestial Lord must also face divine retribution. They will also be constrained by heavenly laws. If I don't seize this opportunity to eliminate this brat, how will I find a chance to kill him once he returns to the heavens? I know the Celestial Lord once saved your life, but that was in the past. Moreover, you can barely protect yourself now! Hehehe..." The Blood Demon Old Witch let out another unpleasant laugh.
"But he is not the Celestial Lord, you have the wrong person!" Liu Ruyan immediately said.
"Hmph! This brat has already thrown the Thirty-Six Heavens into chaos with the Sword of Creation, and you're still covering for him? Hmph! Can you hide it? Now get out of the way, and I won't trouble you. If you refuse to comply, I'll kill you too!" The Blood Demon Old Witch snorted coldly and suddenly extended a claw-like hand.
Whoosh... A stream of demonic energy immediately emanated from the claw-like fingers, spreading outwards.
"Since you know about the Sword of Creation, you dare to come seeking death?" Lu Fan's expression turned ferocious. He reached out and pulled Liu Ruyan behind him. Swish... a golden greatsword appeared in his hand.
"Hmph! Although the Sword of Creation is immensely powerful, it is not something you can unleash its true might with at your current level. This is the mortal realm, not the celestial realm. You are doomed! Hehehe!" The Blood Demon Old Witch let out a piercing, strange laugh, her demonic energy growing stronger. Soon, masses of black mist filled the entire cave.
"Blood Demon Old Witch! This is not your Demon Realm either. This is the territory of me, the Snow Lord, and you are not allowed to run amok here." Liu Ruyan suddenly roared, raising her arm. A wave of chilling energy spread outwards, quickly blocking the Blood Demon Old Witch's demonic energy.
Swish... The snow wolf, blue fox, and giant python lying on the ground were instantly frozen into ice.
"You think you can contend with me, the Blood Demon Old Witch? You are too naive! Hahaha!" The Blood Demon Old Witch burst into a wild laugh, shaking her body as her vast demonic energy intensified. Suddenly, the Blood Demon Old Witch brought a finger to her mouth, and with a snap... she bit off a finger.
Pfft... A mouthful of blood sprayed into the demonic energy. Instantly, the demonic energy seemed to be stimulated, becoming frenzied and charging ferociously towards Liu Ruyan's icy aura.
Ugh... Liu Ruyan felt a sudden sweetness in her chest, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood. However, she forcefully swallowed it back, knowing that the Blood Demon Old Witch's demonic energy would become even more ferocious upon encountering blood.
"Blood Demon Old Witch! You know quite a lot, even about the Celestial Realm. However, I truly don't believe the Sword of Creation cannot deal with a demon like you!" Lu Fan's lips twitched. Although he didn't know how the Blood Demon Old Witch knew about the Thirty-Six Heavens, he refused to believe that the Sword of Creation, which even demigods feared, would not affect a demon!
Whoosh... The golden greatsword fiercely stabbed towards the Blood Demon Old Witch.
Clang... The golden greatsword pierced through the ice and black demonic barrier, striking a cold, hard object with a clang. A crisp sound echoed.
"Hehehe... Brat, I told you, your Sword of Creation cannot deal with me! Hahaha!" The Blood Demon Old Witch sneered again and, with a whoosh, produced a soul-summoning banner!
"Brat! Do you recognize this? This thing was specifically forged to deal with your Sword of Creation! Hehehehe..." The Blood Demon Old Witch laughed wantonly.
"This is..." Beside him, Liu Ruyan's eyes widened as she saw a faint golden hue hidden within the soul-summoning banner. Her expression changed instantly, for that faint golden hue was unmistakably an axe imprint.
"Blood Demon Old Witch! How did that seal appear on your soul-summoning banner?" Liu Ruyan asked cautiously, her face extremely grim.
"Hmph! Don't you understand yet? The one who wanted him dead was not me, but... hehehe...." The Blood Demon Old Ancestor trailed off, chuckling strangely. It wasn't that she didn't want to finish her sentence, but that she dared not. Even so, she was smug. If she could kill this brat, her status would skyrocket...
"I don't believe I truly cannot kill you?" Lu Fan suddenly chuckled coldly, and the golden greatsword in his hand stabbed forward again.
