The Red Demon walked toward Mo Fan. Every step it took formed a terrifying swamp of blood.
The Red Demon was letting out a strange sound, like the mixed cries of prisoners imprisoned in a pitch-black dungeon. There were even screams of women among them.
Lu Kun’s face was shifting continuously now. It generally resembled Lu Kun, but it was also mixing with a few other faces.
They had all struggled prior to their deaths. They were yelling to vent their frustrations and hatred, taking turns appearing on the Red Demon’s face.
How many vengeful spirits has Lu Kun absorbed?
The lust of the living world and the greed of the deceased who were not willing to part from the world had given birth to the Evil Orb, which had now grown into a red demon!
The two long horns touched one another.
Red lightning burning with flames appeared in loud crackles and whipped into the demon’s surroundings.
The lightning did not have a target at first, but Lu Kun adjusted the horns and pointed them at Mo Fan.
The red lightning suddenly lunged at Mo Fan like an instrument of torture.
Zrrrt!~
A red bolt smashed a rusting truck into pieces.
Mo Fan was standing right behind the truck. He was terrified when he saw the truck being torn to pieces.
A few hundred lightning whips were taking form in the area, and a single one of them had already shown such great power!
Once they had taken shape and lashed out at him aggressively together, wouldn’t he be dead for sure?
Mo Fan had no choice but to run. He escaped to the area storing waste products behind the junkyard.
The red lightning whips turned the scrapped cars and machinery into flying debris. The tires, screws, and metal scraps scattered in the air before pouring down like rusting steel rain.
Mo Fan had already sustained a few injuries. He was greeted with new wounds no matter which direction he fled in.
He reached the pulverizing zone of the junkyard. A few autonomous machines were still operating there.
Huge scraps of metal were being delivered along on conveyor belts. The heavy machines were smashing them in doleful rhythm.
However, the powerful red lightning whips finished the job in less than a minute, turning the metal scraps, including the machines, into yet more debris!
Their impact sent the scraps flying like waves, sending the sharp screws, metal scraps, and glass shards into the air.
It was a terrifying sight!
“Are you a rat from the sewers? Is running away the only thing you can do?” the Red Demon snarled at him. “It’s time to show you my true power!” the Red Demon said murderously.
It was not only directing its murderous intent at Mo Fan, but every living creature who had opposed it!
Lu Kun raised his head. This time, his horns were not just rubbing against one another. The tips of the horns were fused together, like wires igniting a spark.
A red circle appeared above Lu Kun and spread horizontally above the ground.
The red circle ignited blinding sparks across Lehuo Town, and even Prison Mountain in the distance.
Little Flame Belle’s scorching flames had tinted the sky. To supplement them, countless spitting sparks were igniting on the ground like fireworks.
Instead of a dazzling show of colors that would make one’s heart pound heavily in excitement, the deadly sparks were sending shivers down the spines of those watching!
The red sparks turned the whole town into a sea of red!
The sparks did not occur randomly. They were originating from the bodies of the residents in the town!
Every person contained some degree of hatred. Their hatred was the Red Demon’s source of power. The town and its businesses were a miniature version of society. The evil they were nurturing might not be visible on the surface, but that did not prevent its existence.
Lu Kun was transforming the hatred and evil in everyone’s heart into visible sparks of power, which were providing the red demon with more power.
The sparks were able to combine with one another into more shocking red lightning!
Similarly, the lightning could also continue to combine to grow stronger.
The lightning soon took the shape of lightning whips, batons, pitchforks, saws, and other instruments of torture.
The evil inside the people of Prison Mountain and Lehuo Town was providing Lu Kun with energy. Mo Fan was not only fighting the Red Demon, but the combined demon was being nurtured by tens of thousands of people.
“How are you supposed to fight me when you are supplying me with power, too?” Lu Kun burst out laughing.
Mo Fan lifted his gaze.
A red spark had appeared above him too, originating from his heart. It was the same as every other spark around him!
“You are no different from the others. How are you going to beat me? It is you who nurture me and make me stronger!” Lu Kun swung his claws at Mo Fan, followed by several lightning whips.
Mo Fan had nowhere to dodge them. He could only resist them directly.
The whips were not just targeting his flesh, but his soul now. Mo Fan could clearly sense his magic weakening.
“Have a taste of your own hatred!”
Lu Kun raised his hand and absorbed Mo Fan’s red spark. It combined with the other sparks from the town.
An enormous stick slammed down on Mo Fan’s head.
BANG!
A huge lightning explosion left a deep pit in the spot Mo Fan had been standing on.
Fresh blood was running down the side of Mo Fan’s head.
“How did it taste?” Lu Kun laughed. “Look at you, you are feeling angry again, which is going to supply me with energy again,” Lu Kun mocked him.
“You think you are doing everything for these people, but will they even acknowledge your sacrifices?
“They organize protests and complain when you arranged settlements for them. You gave them jobs, but they are too lazy to do them properly.. Humans are destined to be parasites. They will only destroy and nibble away at resources as long as they are alive!”
