🕑 Added 2023-09-09 21:41:05 +0000 UTC
"They're here!" some inhumans shouted urgently within the depths of the giant sinkhole.
"Senior, the demon race is coming to kill us!"
"Damn these demons, let's fight them to the death!" declared the inhumans, their faces contorted in anger as they gazed at the oncoming swarm of the demon race. Despite the fear gnawing at their insides, they held their ground and did not retreat.
"I already know! Mo Hao, fight by my side!" Standing up, Shangguan Ning declared, her voice resonating with the authority.
"Hmm," Mo Hao replied, his expression devoid of emotion as he rose to his feet.
Internally, however, he was sneering. The demon race's army this time was formidable. Their leader would keep Jiang Chen's Master occupied, providing him, Mo Hao, the chance to leave an indelible impression and astonish everyone.
'This time, I must succeed!' With his fist clenched, Mo Hao fell into step behind Jiang Chen.
"Kill!" Brandishing a silver immortal sword, Jiang Chen disappeared in the blink of an eye, lunging at the strongest Transcendence realm powerhouse within the demonic army.
"Human scum!" Xun Tian fixed his gaze on Jiang Chen, who had morphed into a streak of light, charging solo towards him.
"Dare to annihilate our legions twice in a row; I'll make you suffer a fate worse than death for five thousand years!" A cruel glint flashed in his eyes.
In the next moment, Xun Tian's body erupted into a mass of black flames, trailing a lengthy tail of fire as he lunged at Jiang Chen.
"Boom!"
Two streaks of light, one white and the other black, clashed like colliding comets, immediately unleashing a horrifying shockwave of energy.
"Hmph!" Feeling the energy surge through his weapon, Xun Tian smirked coldly. "You're nothing special!"
"I really don't know how that fool Ben Man died at your hands," he said, lunging at Jiang Chen again.
"Heh heh," Shangguan Ning chuckled softly, her voice tinged with confidence. "You'll find out soon enough, because you and Ben Man are destined for the same fate."
With the silver longsword in hand, she skillfully parried Xun Tian's relentless attacks, deliberately making it seem as though she was on the brink of defeat if this continued.
Witnessing the scene unfold, Mo Hao felt a surge of elation, while the rest of the beings in the giant sinkhole grew increasingly anxious.
At that moment, one of the two members of the Beast Taming Demon Clan jeered triumphantly, "This human is doomed!"
"Let's unleash the demonic beasts to mop up these wretches, while we aid Lord Xun Tian in tormenting this human filth!"
"Reveal yourself, my precious Black Sky Demon Horse!" they said, their faces contorted in cruel smiles as they each drew out a small black pouch.
With a swift flick of their black pouches, two formidable Early-stage Transcendence realm demonic beasts materialized in an instant.
These two demonic beasts were relatively compact, stretching only a few dozen meters in length, and resembled slender, well-proportioned horses in form.
Their bodies were entirely pitch-black, with blood-red hooves, purple crowns atop their heads, and petal-like ears. When they opened their mouths, a myriad of tiny, curved, and sharp teeth were revealed!
Guided by the two beast-taming demons, the Black Sky Demon Horses bolted straight for Mo Hao and the inhumans within the giant sinkhole.
Simultaneously, the two Transcendence realm beast-taming demons lunged at 'Jiang Chen's Master', who seemed to be caught in 'a dire predicament' and 'encircled by perils'.
"Damn! They've even got two Transcendence realm demonic beasts!" Mo Hao stared at the suddenly materialized Transcendence realm beasts in the sky, his initial shock quickly giving way to a gleeful expression. "However, these two are merely at the Early-stage, perfect for me to easily dispatch!"
In his eyes, these two demonic beasts presented the ideal opportunity for a show-stopping performance.
"Hmph! A motley crew of demonic vermin, I alone can wipe you all out!" Mo Hao stepped forth from the giant sinkhole, radiating the aura of an Early-stage Transcendence realm warrior. This sudden display momentarily halted the advance of the demonic forces.
Every demonic creature turned their attention to Mo Hao, and that included their leader, Xun Tian. However, their initial focus was quickly replaced by cold smiles and expressions of disdain.
An Early-stage Transcendence realm warrior? Their two Black Sky Demon Horses would be more than sufficient to handle him!
The audacity to think he could single-handedly annihilate their entire army? Such a notion was laughable!
Had events followed the original script, Mo Hao would undoubtedly have delivered a spectacular performance, accumulating Pretentious Points to amplify his combat skills.
Riding on that momentum, he'd sustain his grandiose facade, growing stronger until every demon and demonic beast perished in utter despair.
In the end, he'd earn not just admiration but also astonishment and awe from 'Jiang Chen's Master' and a multitude of inhumans.
Thus, he'd flawlessly execute a grandstanding act of unparalleled success.
Regrettably for him, Jiang Chen saw right through the entire charade, crystal clear, and had everything meticulously planned!
Just as Mo Hao was gearing up to eliminate the Black Sky Demon Horses, a boisterous and unbridled laughter reverberated through the heavens and the earth: "Hahaha!"
"Who would've thought that even I would experience a breakthrough in the midst of battle!" This declaration was accompanied by an overpowering aura that far surpassed that of an average Late-stage Transcendence realm warrior.
The source of the raucous laughter was, of course, Shangguan Ning.
As soon as that laughter rang out, the focus of everyone present, Mo Hao included, instantly shifted towards Jiang Chen.
"What! This old hag actually managed a breakthrough at a time like this!?" Mo Hao's eyes nearly popped out of his sockets.
"How is this even possible?" he gawked at 'Jiang Chen's Master', struggling to come to terms with the reality unfolding before him.
Simultaneously, the expressions on the faces of Xun Tian and the other demon race powerhouses underwent a radical shift, morphing into looks of sheer disbelief, their hearts nearly breaking under the weight of ceaseless astonishment.
"No! How could she possibly break through during combat, becoming this powerful so suddenly!" Xun Tian felt a life-threatening sense of danger envelop him, his hairs standing on end as if every fiber of his being was shouting at him to flee at once.
The pupils of the two beast-taming demons contracted sharply, almost eclipsed by the whites of their eyes, which served as a testimony to the depth of their terror.
Both wished they could spontaneously grow an extra pair of legs to hasten their escape.
But contemplating escape at this juncture was far too late!
"Attack!" Shangguan Ning shouted, her voice tinged with a martial ferocity.
"Burning World Raging Flames, eliminate all evil! Silver Immortal Sword, suppress and slay ten thousand demons!" She declared, her voice resonating with unyielding resolve, as endless Burning World Raging Flames and various Great Dao energies enveloped her silver Immortal Sword, descending without mercy.
In a mere moment, a sword light that far exceeded the capabilities of an average Late-stage Transcendence realm, accompanied by a terrifying surge of energy, completely swallowed up Xun Tian and the other demonic entities!
"No!!" Xun Tian unleashed a scream of utter desperation, frantically deploying every defensive technique he knew, only for them to disintegrate like ephemeral bubbles.
In a fraction of a second, Xun Tian was torn asunder, his form reduced to countless fragments.
The other members of the demonic army also stared in disbelief, their faces awash in endless despair as they vanished, like darkness itself had been banished by the breaking dawn!
[Ding! You've altered the plot, effectively preventing Protagonist Mo Hao from showing off and upstaging others. Mo Hao's Heavenly Fate Value decreases by 5000 points!]
[Ding! You've acquired 10,000 Villain Value points!]
These system notifications echoed within Jiang Chen's Sea of Consciousness.
"No—!!" A furious roar suddenly reverberated through heaven and earth, shattering the silence. It was Mo Hao, witnessing another golden opportunity to show off and humble others slip through his fingers, and he completely lost his composure.
He was truly livid.
Jiang Chen's Master had specifically stated her inability to handle those demons, which had been Mo Hao's rationale for remaining behind.
Regrettably, just when he was brimming with anticipation, she underwent a miraculous breakthrough, eliminating all the demons in a single stroke.
This abrupt plunge from hope to despair nearly brought Mo Hao to tears right then and there.

I feel this has maybe been his most villainous conduct in regards to a HFMC, just so mean.
