Scorpion Lord Medusa’s stare no longer had any effect on Mo Fan. Her proud face finally showed a hint of frustration. The hair that Mo Fan had burned into ashes had already grown out again. The snakes opened their mouths, revealing poisonous fangs that could paralyze a living thing in just a second.

The Scorpion Lord Medusa crossed her arms as if she were casting an eerie magic. Wisps of weirdly gentle light wove about in front of her like pieces of cloth, and swiftly formed a harp before her chest. Its strings had an eerie red glow that fairly announced danger!

Scorpion Lord Medusa moved her hands across the harp swiftly. A destructive sonic wave surged forward. Mo Fan immediately backed away as soon as he sensed something was not right!

The force unleashed by the strings struck the ground, leaving a huge gash extending an impressive four kilometers and more!

The shadow on Mo Fan’s back transformed. The Wolf Soul Shadow would give him a faster speed and reaction time. The Scorpion Lord Medusa proceeded to play a deadly melody after her first strum!

Mo Fan dodged the attacks rapidly. The strums finally slowed down after a while, but Mo Fan soon heard a sharp tone!

The troop of scorpion men had lined up and formed a sturdy wall without him noticing. As the Scorpion Lord Medusa plucked the strings, a massive army of scorpion men several times the size of the initial one gathered from all directions. These scorpion men that the harp had Summoned seemed a lot stronger. The sky and the ground began to tremble when they started moving. There was no escape for Mo Fan!

Mo Fan was having trouble identifying if the army of scorpion men was real, or a mere illusion that Scorpion Lord Medusa’s harp had produced. He took a deep breath to calm himself.

The noisier it was, the more confusing the situation was. He needed to maintain a clear mind. If he lost his calm, he would be exposing his weaknesses instead!

“Space Rhythm: Time Stasis!”

Mo Fan utilized the Space Magic as four lines of scorpion men charged at him, roaring deafeningly. A rhomboid loomed over the area. Everything that was moving at high speed was slowed down significantly, while some weaker existences came to a complete standstill within it!

In the silvered Domain of Time Stasis, Mo Fan promptly noticed some of the scorpion men had suddenly halted in their tracks, as still as paintings, but some scorpion men continued to charge at him, unaffected by the Domain!

Mo Fan immediately realized that the Scorpion Lord Medusa had commanded the scorpion men to engage him. At the same time, she used the Sound Magic to confuse him into thinking that the troop of scorpion men was a lot bigger than it was!

The Scorpion Lord Medusa was manipulating the truth with illusions. She was indeed an expert at playing with her enemies’ minds. After all, even a powerful Mage would struggle against such a massive army of scorpion men!

The fake scorpion men quickly reached Mo Fan, lifting the axes in their six hands. It was impossible to tell which one of the attacks was the deadliest when they were all swinging axes at the same time!

Mo Fan simply ignored them, as he knew they were only illusions produced by the Sound Magic. His real targets were the scorpion men whose speed had been reduced significantly in the Time Domain!

The closest target to Mo Fan was a Black Scorpion Man normally around fifteen meters tall, but due to the distortion of the Sound Magic, the Black Scorpion Man seemed to be thirty meters tall in Mo Fan’s eyes. It was doubled in size, and the aura it was emanating was extremely close to the Ruler-level!

“Telekinesis!”

Mo Fan locked his will on the Black Scorpion Man, and lifted it into the sky. The Black Scorpion Man was blasted into pieces by a lightning bolt descending from the sky before the other Scorpion Men could reach him.

The pieces of the Black Scorpion Man did not scatter and fall, floating in the sky instead. Mo Fan turned the pieces of scorpion scales into deadly weapons with his Telekinesis. He fired them in all directions, puncturing the other scorpion men charging at him!

Many of the scorpion men leading the charge fell to the ground. The scales of the black scorpion man’s sturdy armor went through their carapaces and sliced through their bodies. Mo Fan was pouring his outstanding will into each of the pieces to further speed them up, making them fast enough to puncture the bodies of the Brown Scorpion Men!

When the silver energy clashed with the first wave of scorpion men, a crystalline candlelight ignited in Mo Fan’s right hand. It was barely noticeable among the shroud of flames protecting Mo Fan like armor.

The harp was still producing its piercing notes. Mo Fan saw a massive army of scorpion men collapsing on him like huge mountains. The Space Magic could no longer keep up with the rate of the scorpion men lunging at him!

In just a few seconds, the army of scorpion men completely filled the space that Mo Fan had just strenuously cleared. The scorpion men were wrapping around him in many layers using their bodies, poisonous fangs, carapaces, and tails.

The scorpion men in the front had buried Mo Fan like a brown cocoon. The scorpion men behind kept pouncing on him and adding to the pile. In just a short time, a hill made of scorpion men appeared, and it continued to expand.

Thousands of scorpion men, both real and fake, swarmed across the land. Even Mo Fan’s demon flames were suppressed. The lightning flashing in the sky dissipated, too. Was there anything that such a massive army could not devour?

Scorpion Lord Medusa stood among the army of scorpion men, staring at the mound of bodies that looked like a squirming grave!

The scorpion men that did not hold onto their comrades fell and rolled down from the hill. Meanwhile, more scorpion men were climbing up the hill. They were clearly scared of Demon Mo Fan, so the higher the hill was, the safer they would feel!

A red light slowly permeated through the black bodies of the scorpions...

The thundering blast of a strong explosion erupted inside the hill. The mound of scorpion men exploded like a volcano that could no longer endure the surging lava within it. The scorpion men were devoured by the terrifying flames in mid-air!

The remains of the scorpion men poured down like burning rain. The flames that he had suppressed for some time finally unleashed their overwhelming force, killing thousands of scorpion men!

The magnificent mound of scorpion men was blasted into pieces in an eyeblink. Not a single surviving scorpion man dared to pile up on top of the demonic figure again. It stood there while its eyes leveled an intimidating glare at the massive army of scorpion men!

The strings of the harp had snapped in half. Scorpion Lord Medusa had not expected two of her stronger moves to fail against her enemy. She was astonished as she watched the flames devouring her men!

Is that all you got!? Mo Fan was staring at Scorpion Lord Medusa. He did not say a word, but Scorpion Lord Medusa could feel his challenge by looking into his eyes.

Demon Mo Fan clenched his fists and crossed his arms.

The flames under his feet roared forth. The fires gathered rapidly around him!

A burning rift was torn apart in front of Mo Fan. It was a portal to another dimension!

An enormous head engulfed in flames poked out of the gap. Its fiery eyes could burn Commander-level scorpion men into scattered ashes with a single stare. It observed its surroundings, which were already in a great mess.

A body covered in fierce flames stepped out from the gap. It was stunning, imperious, and savage!

“Tear her to pieces!” Mo Fan stood on the enormous fiery wolf and pointed his finger at Scorpion Lord Medusa.

The Skyhowl Flame Wolf lunged forward, crushing countless scorpion men underfoot. The scorching flames it was unleashing instantly burned the scorpion men nearby into vapor as it charged.

The Skyhowl Flame Wolf pounced at Scorpion Lord Medusa, who did not have any way to protect herself. Her proud eyes flickered with a hint of fear. She turned around, trying to run away, but the Skyhowl Flame Wolf bit her on the neck and brought her to the ground!

Both the Skyhowl Flame Wolf and the Scorpion Lord Medusa were like moving hills. The former was constructed with flames, while the latter had sturdy flesh and armor. The Skyhowl Flame Wolf was not a real creature, it was just an elemental being that would last for a limited time under Mo Fan’s control. He had granted the Skyhowl Flame Wolf the traits of a wolf, meaning he did not have to command it constantly; the Skyhowl Flame Wolf already possessed a strong drive to kill and destroy!

The Scorpion Lord Medusa clearly did not have enough time to react to the powerful attack after using two of her strongest moves. Her scales were heavily damaged by the flames, and her neck was almost torn apart by the fiery fangs!

Her scorpion tail was stabbing the Skyhowl Flame Wolf repeatedly. Any living creature would have been paralyzed by her poison and died in a few seconds, but the Skyhowl Flame Wolf was not a real creature. The only way to kill it was by shattering it with enormous force!

Blood poured out from the bites the Skyhowl Flame Wolf left on Scorpion Lord Medusa. Her face was burned beyond recognition. The Skyhowl Flame Wolf proceeded to chase a few kilometers after her even as she tried to flee!

BANG!

Mo Fan did not have time to kill her himself. An enormous figure had already shown up in front of him!

It was a mummy with an overwhelming presence, covered in a shroud of demonic scales, and escorted by Brutal Sword Death Servants!
