Lu Nian was suddenly aware of something behind him when he felt a cold breath with a beastly presence.

A demon beast?

Impossible, his Petrify would turn everything nearby into statues, no demon beast would be able to get close to him.

Seeing the weird grin on Zhan Kong's face, Lu Nian finally had no choice but to turn his head around.

Within a blink, a face rapidly approached him with the speed of the wind, leaving him dumbfounded.

Who, who's this?

Why would the face be covered in crimson lines full of dark energy? The flicker from its eyes was utterly intimidating!

"Mo...Mo Fan?" Lu Nian stared at the person in front of him in disbelief.

"It's me!" Mo Fan wore a savage grin, to an extent that it revealed the cruelty in his bones. His voice was completely different than before, although his words sounded extremely familiar to him. "I did say that the next time you saw me, I'd send a mongrel like you to hell!"

Mo Fan was unable to think clearly in his demonized state. However, the hatred he bore before turning into a demon was inerasable. The rage in his heart finally found a way out, that being to crush this disgusting, loathsome devil commander, soul and all, into pieces!

Lu Nian was still lost in his thoughts. He could not actually tell if the person was still Mo Fan himself, or a total demon.

He had seen many test subjects in person, and none of them were able to speak like a human after the transformation, as they had completely turned into monsters. They could not even retain their human appearance. On the other hand, apart from the bloody lines and the long white hair, Mo Fan had managed to keep his usual appearance.

If he had yet to demonize completely, why would he have such a horrendous, deadly aura? Why would he have such eerie power?

"I can't let you die too quick… Why don't you give me a kowtow first?" Mo Fan grinned and revealed his sharp fangs!

As he finished the sentence, he grabbed the back of Lu Nian's head.

"To you? Do you think you can still move standing so close to me...AH!!!" Lu Nian was hurled to the ground by Mo Fan with brute force before he could even finish his sentence.

Lu Nian slammed on the ground with his face down. He did not have the time to defend himself. He was thrown to the ground like a dog with a great blow to his head!

The ground used to be muddy, but it had turned solid as a rock from Lu Nian's Petrify. Lu Nian was planning to use his power to turn his opponent into a dead statue, but he ended up testing the sturdiness of the rock with his own face!

The rock shattered into a pile of dust. Lu Nian's head sank into the ground below like an ostrich, leaving him in incredible pain.

As Lu Nian was an Advanced Magician, his flesh was significantly stronger than that of an ordinary human. If he were some Servant-class demon beast, his head would have burst open, just like a watermelon dropped from a great height. On the other hand, his face was only slightly sunken, with blood smeared across it.

"I...I will never… forgive you!" Lu Nian's body quickly unleashed a golden glow, turning into a flexible armor wrapping around him.

The armor was rather advanced, even providing protection to his head. As Mo Fan threw a punch right at his face, the golden armor had already covered it up.

Mo Fan was not too bothered by the sudden-appearing armor. He held Lu Nian up and clenched his right hand into a flaming fist.

The fist that burned like a meteor was thrown right at Lu Nian's face. He did not even care about the protection of the golden armor!

There was a fiery explosion as the punch landed on Lu Nian's face. The armor managed to resist most of the damage from the fire, preventing his skull from burning into ashes instantly. However, the impact from the punch still knocked out all his teeth and broke his nose...

The golden armor shattered as it could not withhold the violent fist, revealing Lu Nian's distorted face, covered in blood.

"Pe...Pe...Petrify..." Lu Nian was indeed an Advanced Magician. He still managed to cast an Advanced Magic despite the injury he was suffering from.

His Magic, strengthened by the bracer he wore, burst out from Lu Nian's eyes in the direction he was looking. A grey-white energy spread rapidly in that direction.

Lu Nian was extremely furious. All he could think of was to turn the kid into a rock and smash him into pieces with a kick!

The demonized Mo Fan totally ignored the approaching threat. As he dashed toward Lu Nian, the grey-white substance covered his legs and rooted him to the rock under his feet.

Mo Fan smashed his fist at the ground, which instantly burst out with a flame pillar that devoured the petrifying energy crawling up his legs!

The grey-white substance had just spread across the area within a hundred meters of Mo Fan when the flames surging up from the ground cracked them open. The two forces collided with one another, the area petrifying and cracking open in an endless loop. It felt like a rose-red army and a grey-white army were having a stand-off with one another.

Commander Lu Nian's eyes widened. The energy had originated from his eyes. His trembling body clearly indicated the strain he was enduring.

His energy was usually strong enough to petrify the body of a Commander-level demon beast. How could Mo Fan possibly stand a chance against it?

Since Mo Fan had turned into a demon, why was it that he could still retain his thoughts, and still remember to get his revenge?

"You piece of scum! You...you should be thankful to me, as I... gave you such power!" Lu Nian blurted out resentfully.

Mo Fan had demonized on his own, thus Lu Nian did not even have the chance to place him under his control. Furthermore, Lu Nian had never thought Mo Fan would be able to demonize so perfectly, even retaining his human appearance. He was able to speak and retain memories of the past while also being granted overwhelming strength.

If this kid had such terrifying strength after demonizing while he was only an Intermediate Magician, if he could survive the aftereffects and further improve his cultivation, he could easily become a demon that would shock the entire world!

He could easily trample the Supreme Magicians, the Commander-level demon beasts, even the Ruler-level demon beasts under his feet!

"I should thank you, indeed..." The demonized Mo Fan displayed his anger and savagery as he laughed grimly and exposed his sharp fangs. "Which is why I'm sending you to Hell now!"
