Without a doubt, these two giant black bulls were far more formidable than the minotaurs they had encountered before.
Although humans are considered the most spiritually advanced beings, it's not always the case that the closer a demon resembles a human, the stronger it is!
Meng Fan drew his sword, and the Hong Qi Sword sang its Sword Song.
Demon-Slaying Sword Momentum!
Mountain Splitting Sword Momentum!
Thunderous Sword Momentum!
His move was the same sword strike that had just slain the giant white snake.
With one swing, the charging momentum of the two giant black bulls halted, and then both heads rolled off, blood spilling everywhere.
Meng Fan frowned; this was much easier than he had anticipated.
He knew his sword strike was powerful, so he believed it would definitely slay one giant black bull.
But he had underestimated himself.
He was simply too strong!
With one strike, both giant black bulls were slain.
"Heh, seems I overestimated this place," Meng Fan chuckled lightly.
He had subconsciously thought that the demons here would be stronger than the giant white snake.
Now it seemed that was a misconception!
Or perhaps that giant white snake was just a troublemaker.
Indeed, this was the territory of fox demons and bull demons; a snake really shouldn't have been here.
"Come to think of it, if there really were beings here that I couldn't handle, wouldn't the Clan be sending so many elite disciples to their deaths?"
Not just one or two, but a complete annihilation!
If there were demons that Meng Fan couldn't kill, then everyone would die, none would escape.
Meng Fan didn't waste time; he bent down and placed his hand on the giant black bull to begin absorbing its Spiritual Essence.
As Meng Fan was absorbing the Spiritual Essence from the second giant black bull, a shadow rushed out from the grand hall.
The corners of Meng Fan's mouth curled into a slight smile.
How could he possibly not guard against an ambush while openly absorbing Spiritual Essence here?
With a flick of his finger, the Hong Qi Sword soared through the air.
【Sword Comes】
The first technique of Meng Fan's self-created Myriad Swords Returning to One, which had made a brief appearance in the forests of the Demon Realm.
For this Sword Comes, Meng Fan didn't use his full strength; it was just a casual attempt.
With Sword Comes, Meng Fan had also mastered the Sword Momentum.
If he used his full strength for Sword Comes, it would be too ostentatious and unnecessary!
The sword light flickered, and the Hong Qi Sword struck.
A small figure was pinned to the ground by the Hong Qi Sword.
Meng Fan looked at the small figure, his brow furrowing.
It was a little girl, seemingly only seven or eight years old.
Although he had encountered some real human children in the white snake's cabin, Meng Fan wouldn't think this little attacker was human!
A tiny child with such speed and strength? Impossible. It had to be a demon.
But then, the voice of Hong Qi echoed in Meng Fan's mind, contradicting him on the spot.
"Master, she is human, not a demon."
Meng Fan's brow furrowed deeply as he asked, "How is that possible? How could a seven or eight-year-old child have such speed and attack power?"
Under those circumstances, even if Liu Yanping were dragged over, she wouldn't survive such an ambush!
Liu Yanping was an Inner Sect Disciple of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, and she was no match for a child?
"She has been invaded by demonic energy, turned into a half-human, half-demon puppet," Hong Qi explained.
"Is there any hope for her?"
"No hope!"
"No hope and you still talk so much?" Meng Fan rolled his eyes.
If only Hong Qi had a physical form, not hiding inside the sword, Meng Fan would have rolled his eyes directly at her, but he could only do so in vain.
Meng Fan pulled out the Hong Qi Sword and beheaded the little girl.
Since there was no saving her, it was better to end her suffering sooner.
It wasn't that Meng Fan was cruel and wanted to behead her without leaving the body intact.
But the girl had become a monster due to the demonic invasion, and only by beheading could she be completely freed.
Stabbing her heart a few times would be useless; she would still move and attack you!
Just like the zombies fabricated on Earth.
"There were children at the white snake's place, and here in the grand hall too. It seems these demons haven't refrained from committing evils in the mortal world," Meng Fan murmured to himself.
Indeed, the reason the three great sword sects had joined forces to eradicate this Demon Realm was precisely because of the rampant atrocities committed by these demons.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have caught the attention of the three great sword sects.
A trace of indifference crossed Meng Fan's face as he stood up and walked towards the grand hall.
These two giant black bulls might look intimidating, but they were not as valuable as the white snake in terms of the Spiritual Essence they provided; not enough for Meng Fan to advance his Supreme Dominance Body to the fourth level.
Meng Fan believed that within the grand hall, there must be an opportunity for him to break through to the fourth level of the Supreme Dominance Body.
This time, Meng Fan entered the grand hall unobstructed, with no more creatures blocking his way.
Puppets like that little girl were probably extremely troublesome to create.
After all, to elevate a powerless little girl to such strength must have cost a great deal.
But no matter how great the cost, it wasn't enough to withstand a single strike from Meng Fan!
Many things are like this; it's extremely difficult to build someone up, but destroying them is easy.
***
Inside the grand hall, there were four stone pillars supporting the roof, carved with dragons and phoenixes, extremely exquisite.
This was definitely not the work of demons; it must have been brought in from the mortal world.
Got to admit, whoever built this grand hall had quite the taste!
"Hm?" Meng Fan noticed a corpse in the grand hall, dressed in the attire of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.
He took a second look out of instinct and recognized a familiar face.
Nie Bing!
One of the "idols" Liu Yanping, the Young Lady, had once fancied, a man of exceptional strength and looks.
However, whether in terms of strength or appearance, he was far inferior to Meng Fan!
Meng Fan had reason to suspect that Liu Yanping's intentional or unintentional approach to him might be because he was more handsome than Nie Bing, and of course, stronger!
The Young Lady was probably about to experience the feeling of unrequited love once again.
It's worth mentioning that Nie Bing's death in this grand hall was beyond Meng Fan's expectations.
But Nie Bing's presence here already proved his strength; at least others didn't even have the chance to enter this grand hall.
Although he was dead, he was more…
Well, that's hard to spin.
Dead is just his bad luck, nothing else!
Meng Fan glanced at Nie Bing's corpse and paid it no more attention, instead focusing on the most eye-catching spot in the grand hall.
In the center of the grand hall, there was actually a large bed!
This was something he couldn't have imagined before entering.
Most importantly, aside from this large bed, there were no other furnishings in the grand hall.
Such decor was… quite unique!
Meng Fan moved forward.
On the large bed, pink curtains were half-drawn, revealing a pair of snow-white legs.
Between the white thighs, a red fox tail swayed slowly, tantalizing and seductive.
