Hayla was infuriated by the heavy blow from the lightning strike. It touched its horned helmet and discovered a huge hole in it. The lightning had almost penetrated its head! Tiny lightning arcs were still crawling on its skin, and it could feel a numbing pain from them!

Hayla let out a furious roar at Mo Fan. The spores on its body opened as countless black insects flew out like a disgusting cloud. They quickly surrounded Mo Fan, beating their barely visible wings!

Mo Fan maintained the flames around himself. The black insects were trying to put out the flames by abusing their number. Flames of normal temperatures were nowhere enough to kill them.

The shadow behind Mo Fan grew brighter. The temperature of the flames engulfing him rose.

When the flames were able to set the flying insects ablaze with the slightest touch, the insects suddenly became a great medium for the flames to rapidly spread through the air!

Hayla was able to keep releasing the black insects. The number of black insects was shocking, but they also allowed Mo Fan’s flames to spread even further and eventually reach the giant creature!

The flames burned Hayla’s skin. The creature came to grief once again, raising its hoof and stomping the ground.

Mo Fan did not understand what Hayla was trying to achieve. However, he soon felt a tremendous force targeting him from above!

It turned out to be a dark hoof several times bigger than the creature’s own. Its shadow had covered the entire carefully-planned area of the city. Black dust scattered across the place within the blink of an eye as the area collapsed!

Mo Fan was able to react in time and escape the area. However, he soon realized he was standing in the shadow of another dark hoof. They had sealed off every direction that Mo Fan could run to. Even space was sealed by an overwhelming energy, preventing Mo Fan from Blinking away.

A huge cloud of dust was swept into the air by the stomp. Hayla was indulging in the pleasure of bringing destruction upon the place. It kept trampling everything it could see around it.

The violence of the creature was clearly witnessed by many people. The Dark Execution Ground had isolated the area, but it was still a part of the city. The streets, buildings, and parks were razed to the ground. The whole area was covered in debris, apart from the spot where Xinxia was.

“So this is the kind of creature that the Holy Judgment Court is raising?” Pang Lai lifted his gaze and stared at the creature that was going berserk in the Dark Execution Ground.

They had lost track of Mo Fan due to the huge cloud of dust that the stomping hooves had swept into the air. They could not tell which of the stomps had caught Mo Fan and driven him into the ground. However, Mo Fan was most likely still alive. Otherwise, Hayla would not have had the urge to trample everything it saw into pieces.

The creature was venting its frustration on the city, since it was unable to locate Mo Fan!

Finally, Hayla seemed to have realized something. It turned around and placed its attention on the girl locked down by the Stones of Guilt.

The creature immediately displayed its savagery as it headed toward Xinxia. It would only take it a few steps to reach her.

Hayla opened its mouth. It was going to swallow Xinxia right away!

The sacrifices it received were usually powerful Mages, but it was an extremely weak girl this time. That being said, it found the soul inside her body quite interesting. It would have plenty of time to enjoy the soul once it dragged the girl into the Realm of the Dead!

Mo Fan was able to reach Xinxia a step quicker than Hayla. There were traces of blood on his lips. He was quite convinced that Hayla was stronger than the Mountain Zombie. A single stomp from the creature had inflicted serious damage on his organs. Even though he had dodged most of the stomps, the strong impacts still ended up inflicting a certain amount of damage to him.

Xinxia looked at Mo Fan. It was her first time seeing Mo Fan in his demonized form. The man felt oddly strange to her, as if he was a different person. His body was covered in bloody runes with a strong evil presence. Even his face had a strong disdain toward everything…

She was struggling to believe that the man was Mo Fan until she saw a gentle look in his crimson-red eyes. Her heart melted instantly.

What price had her Brother Mo Fan paid in order to stay alive? Ye Xinxia would not believe that filling the Essence Orb was the only requirement for gaining such extraordinary power. She could sense a coldness on Mo Fan’s face that did not belong to him…

Mo Fan’s heart was burning like a reckless inferno.

Xinxia fondled the demonic lines on Mo Fan’s face. They were like scars that would leave the man in tremendous pain every night, they were not as simple as a source of power!

He had done too much just to save her. She did not feel like she was worthy of being alive for so long.

Hayla was infuriated. Ye Xinxia was supposed to be an offering to it. Even the Ruler of Darkness would not dare to touch its food, yet the mutated human was attempting to take away the food on its plate!

Hayla raised its hoof once again. A giant shadow loomed over Mo Fan and Xinxia.

Xinxia raised her head and saw an enormous object that had completely blocked off the light. The only thought that was left in her mind as she saw the thing coming down was the pressure of death…

“Piss off!” Mo Fan’s sound had changed completely. Lightning that lit up the entire gloomy sky burst out of his body!

The lightning, enhanced by the silver energy of the Space Element, landed on Hayla’s chest, knocking the creature off balance as it was about to stomp the ground.

The fierce lightning struck the black armor on its chest, revealing skin crawling with black worms. The layers of worms on its skin were writhing about. It looked like the creature’s skin was wiggling from afar…

Hayla finally regained its balance. Seeing that the armor on its chest was broken, it tore away the armor that was hindering its movements.

Hayla’s true appearance was exposed. Only the spot that Mo Fan’s lightning had landed on was crawling with worms. It seemed to have a hole in it, which the worms were treating as their cave.

“Mo Fan, that’s the wound that Wen Tai left on it in the past. You have to focus your attacks on the wound, it’s the only chance you have to kill the creature!” Song Qiming shouted.
