CHAPTER 366: CHAPTER 214: THE SCAMMER WON’T DIE A GOOD DEATH!!! (9500 WORDS)_6

BOOM!

A deafening explosion echoed as a demon bone, part of the Formation’s underground construction, detonated. The Fallen Saint Formation was shattered!

"No, this can’t be happening..." The Shadow Fiend was struck with panic. It tried to activate the Formation again, but there was no response.

"It seems you have run out of tricks!" The Sage struck the void with his Scepter, sending massive ripples sweeping outward. The resulting fluctuations were unimaginable. A holy might then enshrouded both Tao Fan and the Shadow Fiend, forming a sealed Domain.

"It’s our turn now!" Zhang Yunting ripped off his shirt, his saintly body radiating divine light as if an Ancient God had descended. He had been suppressing a seething rage, and now it was time to unleash it.

"Let’s move!" Yun Wuxin was even more furious. He had narrowly escaped death earlier and now wanted to collect his due, with interest. He didn’t know what had rendered the Demon Race’s Fallen Saint Formation useless. But who cares? Let’s just do this!

The Domain was sealed, creating an independent pocket of space. Divine light surged within, obscuring the heavens. Runes filled the sky, and the void was constantly torn apart in a blinding, blazing commotion. One could only vaguely sense an unimaginable storm sweeping through, followed by heart-wrenching screams.

Without a doubt, they all belonged to Tao Fan.

Under the combined assault of so many Saints, he had no hope of fighting back. As a traitor, he drew nearly all the firepower. He received special attention, beaten brutally but kept alive. Golden blood rained down, yet it wasn’t pure, tainted as it was with wisps of Demonic Qi.

The Shadow Fiend, despite its lack of combat prowess, had unique methods for survival. It managed to preserve itself under the Saints’ joint assault, though it was sweating profusely and letting out bizarre shrieks.

"Damn you! If you have any tricks left, use them now! I’m going to die because of you! AHHH—" Tao Fan screamed, spewing a stream of curses with no regard for his image. "We had a deal! You said that with the Fallen Saint Formation, any Saint who came here would be walking to their doom! That’s the only reason I agreed to be your mole! I did all the dirty work, and now the Saints are at the door, and you’re telling me the Formation is broken? Is this some kind of scam?! By the name of the Saints, I curse every scammer in this world! May their entire families die! May they never be reborn for all eternity! Ah, ah, ah—stop hitting me!"

"ROAR—YOU FORCED MY HAND!" The Shadow Fiend could hold back no longer. It radiated intense Demonic Light and suddenly formed a hand seal.

Instantly, Tao Fan’s saintly body ruptured, and streaks of light leaked out as if he had become a scorching sun. He stared at the Shadow Fiend in horror and disbelief. "What are you doing?"

"I have no choice. I must sacrifice you," the Shadow Fiend said emotionlessly, completing the hand seal. "Lord Guba will remember your contribution!"

"AHH—FUCK YOUR ANCESTORS!"

With his final curse, the Demon Seed inside Tao Fan detonated. His Saint’s blood splattered across the sky, only to be gathered by an invisible force into a crystalline bead the size of a fingernail.

The Shadow Fiend then raised its hand. The void trembled slightly, and a figure appeared—a frail-looking girl from the Human Race. It was the eyeless woman.

Upon seeing this, all the Saints paused their assault, frowning slightly.

The eyeless woman looked as if she had lost her soul, standing listlessly in the void with a vacant gaze. The Shadow Fiend clearly valued this woman highly, having kept her safe even while fleeing for its life. Yet now, it had summoned her, as if she were its final trump card.

"Lord Guba... your most devoted servant presents you with a most wondrous offering to welcome your rebirth in this world..." The Shadow Fiend knelt, its expression fervent as it cried out the True Demon’s name.

Then, it tore the woman’s body apart and seized her heart. Within it, a deep blue Demon Seed spun silently.

WHOOSH!

In that instant, it felt as though some great seal had been broken. An incomparably evil and terrifying aura descended upon the void. The Demon Seed erupted with unprecedented brilliance as ancient, demonic words murmured, echoing in the ears of every Saint.

The Saints’ expressions changed. A hint of wariness appeared on their faces, and they instinctively stepped back.

The Demon Seed completely burst open. Demonic Light surged to the heavens, transforming into the gigantic shadow of a True Demon, which then rapidly condensed. It solidified into a True Demon the size of a human child. When he opened his eyes, the temperature of the world plummeted. Terrifying, mottled Demon Patterns emerged all over his body, a heart-palpitating sight.

"This is bad... that Demon Seed is the life seed of a True Demon from the Demon Realm! It’s equivalent to an avatar that can hatch from a human body. The schemes of the Demon Race run deep!" The Saints realized what was happening, their expressions changing drastically. This was equivalent to a True Demon descending in the flesh, not just as a phantom. As long as it received enough sustenance, its strength could skyrocket, making it unbelievably powerful.

Kneeling on the ground, the Shadow Fiend held the crystalline blood bead aloft. "Lord Guba, please enjoy!"

"Hmph." The True Demon nodded, slowly lowering his head to glance at the blood bead, and then he froze. "Why is there so little?"

The Shadow Fiend looked extremely awkward. "There was... an accident. The human stock failed to arrive. However, Lord Guba, as soon as you regain a bit of your strength, I’m certain all these Saints from the Human Race will be a feast for the taking! They won’t escape!"

Guba lifted his head, looked at the hundreds of Human Race Saints before him, and immediately wanted to turn tail and run. Damn it! This is a scam! Where’s the promised feast of blood from hundreds of Saints? They only gave me one? And I’m supposed to hunt down the rest myself? To hell with that! What do you take me for? This body was just born! It has zero nourishment, and you expect me to fight hundreds of Saints with the nutrients from just one? Do you even have a brain? Have you ever heard of the law of conservation of energy?!

"His energy in this new body is very weak! We can take him down!" the Sage declared, his eyes flashing with insight as he spotted the flaw. He raised his Scepter high, and his saintly power surged like the ocean as he made the first move.

Immediately, hundreds of Saints advanced behind him in a mighty wave. Runes filled the sky, and their divine might descended like hellfire, crashing down upon Guba, the True Demon.

"AAAH! DAMN IT! I hate scammers more than anything! Just you wait... AAAAAHHH—" Guba swallowed Tao Fan’s lifeblood bead in a single gulp. His aura instantly grew much stronger, but in the face of hundreds of Saints, he still had no ability to fight back. His only option was to flee. Thrown into complete disarray, he was chased across the heavens and down to the earth.

"Damn you and your scam! Even if I fall here today, I’ll curse you for all eternity! May you never be reborn! Death to all scammers! AHHH—"

The thunderous howl echoed through the sky.

「Below」

Wang Xiu and the others listened, completely bewildered by the situation. What was going on? A scammer? Who was the scammer?
