"My precious Poisonous Scorpion, heh heh, the outcome is clear, you have lost!" Poisonous Madness stood tall, believing that this duel was over. The poison would not kill Shadow Demon; it would only leave him numb and unable to move, allowing Poisonous Madness to trample him.
"No, the fight is not over yet." Wu Yong smiled slightly and shook his head. "Shadow Demon is immune to all poisons; this little toxin won't affect him."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Ming immediately looked at Shadow Demon.
"Heh heh, is the winner already decided?" Shadow Demon extended his hands, grabbed the Black Scorpion clinging to him, and tossed it into his mouth, chewing vigorously. The black liquid oozed from the corners of his mouth, creating a disgusting sight. If it weren't for Mo Ming and Wu Yong being battle-hardened individuals, they would surely be retching in disgust.
"This... is this even human?" Poisonous Madness couldn't help but twitch his mouth in shock. Shadow Demon seemed completely unaffected and had even eaten two poisonous Scorpions raw. Could this person be a robot?
"Heh, Shadow Demon does have some skills; immune to Poisonous Madness's virus?" Mo Ming raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Shadow Demon as he crossed his arms and continued watching the battle.
Regaining his composure from the shock, Poisonous Madness chuckled a few times, his expression turning serious. "I underestimated you, Shadow Demon. You are the first one in the world immune to my virus. However, that was just a minor toxin; don't get too cocky, or I guarantee you will die a very ugly death!"
"Heh heh, I was indeed careless earlier; I didn't expect you to be a poison user. You almost got the better of me." Shadow Demon licked the corner of his mouth with his pale tongue, an inexplicable excitement on his face as he shot forward towards Poisonous Madness. "Next, I will show you my true abilities; I hope you won't disappoint me!"
"Bring it on!" Poisonous Madness showed no fear, locking his gaze on Shadow Demon while keeping his hands curled behind his back, a slight smile forming on his lips. This was merely a small tactic to make Shadow Demon hesitant!
"Hmph, no matter what tricks you want to play, they are all meaningless in front of me!" Shadow Demon was initially cautious, but his inner pride made him fearless. Now, Poisonous Madness's little tactic had no effect at all.
As he reached Poisonous Madness, he unleashed a powerful punch with incredible speed that created a gust of wind aimed directly at Poisonous Madness. Poisonous Madness narrowed his eyes and quickly stepped back while raising a leg to kick at Shadow Demon.
Shadow Demon grinned and swiftly grabbed Poisonous Madness's incoming foot with one hand while using the other like a blade to strike at Poisonous Madness's knee.
"Get lost!" Poisonous Madness tightened his fist and swung it towards Shadow Demon's blade-like hand.
Shadow Demon immediately withdrew, pulling back, causing Poisonous Madness to lose balance and fall forward. Seizing the opportunity, Shadow Demon raised his knee and struck Poisonous Madness in the abdomen.
"Hmph..." Poisonous Madness grunted in pain, and just as Shadow Demon was about to attack again, he stomped his foot on the ground.
"Damn it!" Shadow Demon swung a punch but missed, while Poisonous Madness flipped in the air, his legs spinning along with him.
Poisonous Madness sneered, "If you have the ability, don't let go!"
It was already difficult to hold onto his thigh, and now with Poisonous Madness's legs spinning, Shadow Demon's hand suddenly went numb, forcing him to release his grip.
As Poisonous Madness landed, Shadow Demon pursued again: "You do have some skill, but this time, you're going down!"
Just as Shadow Demon swung his fist, Poisonous Madness pushed off the ground with both hands and kicked backward, catching Shadow Demon off guard. Two kicks landed squarely on his chest, making him feel as if his entire insides were shattered.
"Heh heh, I think I just heard you say I would fall into your hands, right?"
As Poisonous Madness landed and slowly stood up, brushing off the dirt from his hands, he smiled and said, "I have to admit, your strength is indeed impressive. In a short time, I can't do anything to you. But if you want to kill me, it won't be that easy!"
"Hmph, what is your name?" Shadow Demon did not rush to attack but narrowed his eyes into a dangerous arc, staring intently at Poisonous Madness.
"Poisonous Madness!" came the straightforward reply from Poisonous Madness.
"Oh, so you are the inheritor of the Golden Qilin Seal?"
Shadow Demon scrutinized Poisonous Madness, this man whose strength was comparable to his own. Today he had received news from Child Qilin and rushed over. Now seeing the two people beside Wu Yong, he naturally looked down on the young Mo Ming, feeling that the inheritor of the Qilin Seal was indeed Poisonous Madness.
"Not me, the heir of the Golden Qilin Seal is my boss." Poisonous Madness shook his head, frowning and impatiently said, "Are you going to fight or not? Why are you talking so much nonsense? My life is right here; if you want it, come and take it!"
"Don't be in such a hurry. I have important matters to attend to today. I'll spare your life for now; when I want it, it won't be too late to take it!" Shadow Demon replied coldly. To him, human life was as insignificant as grass; as long as he desired it, no one could escape his grasp.
"Heh, fine. I want to see when you can take my life!" Poisonous Madness didn't care about Shadow Demon's arrogant words. He shrugged indifferently and walked over to Mo Ming's side, saying nothing more.
Shadow Demon fixed his gaze on Mo Ming and mocked, "Frenzied Warrior, what are you bringing a wet-behind-the-ears brat here for? Do you want him to live in your shadow for the rest of his life?"
"Hahaha... Shadow Demon, your eyes must be getting worse with age. How dare you say this kid is wet behind the ears?" Wu Yong laughed heartily, a mocking smile curling at the corners of his mouth. "I bet you won't last twenty moves against him!"
"No way, Brother Yong, you're underestimating my boss too much. To deal with this guy, my boss only needs ten moves!" Poisonous Madness's smile was even more mocking than Wu Yong's; even a fool could see the sarcasm in it.
"Bastard, what did you say?" Shadow Demon instantly flew into a rage. As if recalling something, a look of horror appeared on his face. "Kid, did you just say the heir of the Golden Qilin Seal is your boss? Could it be that this kid is the heir of the Golden Qilin Seal!?"
"You haven't completely lost your mind yet; that's somewhat clever!" Wu Yong taunted.
"Hahaha..." Shadow Demon suddenly burst into wild laughter, casting a disdainful glance at Mo Ming. "Him? A wet-behind-the-ears kid has the qualifications to inherit the Golden Qilin Seal? Hmph, Lord Qian is getting more confused with age!"
Just as Shadow Demon spoke, a killing intent locked onto him. Shadow Demon was momentarily stunned and then realized that the source of that killing intent was Mo Ming, who had already approached him.
"Kid, don't be so defiant; in my eyes, you're just an ant!" Shadow Demon snapped back to reality and grinned savagely, throwing a punch aimed at Mo Ming.
Mo Ming remained silent, his gaze as cold as ice. The fist in his eyes grew larger until it was about to strike his chest. His right hand shot out like a venomous snake and firmly grasped Shadow Demon's fist, exerting force that instantly twisted Shadow Demon's hand.
While neutralizing Shadow Demon's attack, Mo Ming also counterattacked!
"Both offensive and defensive!?"
Shadow Demon was taken aback, swiftly kicking out to attack Mo Ming's side.
Mo Ming looked somewhat disdainful, kicking aside Shadow Demon's attack. As his leg was in mid-air, he followed through with a kick aimed at Shadow Demon's chest. Shadow Demon stepped back, but Mo Ming held onto his hand, preventing him from being knocked back.
"I don't want to hear what you just said again; otherwise, I think you won't need to remain in this world."
Mo Ming released Shadow Demon's hand and lifted a leg, striking Shadow Demon on the chin like a cobra attacking.
"Ah!"
Shadow Demon took the hit, spitting blood as he was sent flying backward.
"Poisonous Madness... I think you were mistaken; it won't take ten moves..."
Wu Yong finally had some understanding of Mo Ming's strength today. Shadow Demon was one of the few who had lost to him in Undead Celestial Executioner, yet he couldn't even last ten moves against Mo Ming. This meant that Mo Ming's power completely surpassed his own!
"No wonder Seventh Master gave him the Qilin Seal; this kid is truly remarkable. His future achievements will definitely be beyond estimation!" Wu Yong admired Mo Ming even more. People always looked up to the strong, and now Mo Ming had enough capital for others to look up to him.
Poisonous Madness wasn't particularly surprised. Looking at the disheveled Shadow Demon, he mocked, "So, how does it feel, ghostly creature? Have you tasted defeat? Today has been a lesson for you: never overestimate yourself!"
"Hmph, skill is lacking; I have nothing to say. What is your name?" Shadow Demon gasped for breath as he struggled to stand up from the ground. The brief exchange had made it clear to him that Mo Ming could easily deal with him.
Mo Ming coldly replied, "Mo Ming!"
"Alright, Mo Ming, your strength is sufficient to handle the Golden Qilin Seal. I, Shadow Demon, am willing to assist you!" Shadow Demon coughed, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth again. He wiped the blood clean but dared not show any anger.
A petty person holds grudges, but Shadow Demon is not a gentleman; however, he does not hold grudges. Mo Ming's earlier attack was due to a lack of strength. In the eyes of someone like Shadow Demon, respect for the strong is a belief that will not be forsaken.
"Shadow Demon, I am a simple person. Friends will always receive the best treatment, while enemies will always receive the worst!" Mo Ming said coldly. "I have never lacked talent. If you dare to cross my bottom line, I won't hesitate to kill you!"
"Hmph, don't worry. I, Shadow Demon, still have some principles. You don't need to threaten me!" Shadow Demon snorted coldly, his tone laced with disdain. Although he pretended not to back down verbally, he already felt a hint of fear towards Mo Ming.
Just as Shadow Demon's words fell, Mo Ming shot forward. Upon realizing this, Shadow Demon immediately tried to resist; however, his two consecutive attacks missed completely. Mo Ming closed in on him before Shadow Demon could react. "Ah!" he cried out as he was sent flying again.
"Remember, I'm not threatening you; I'm speaking the truth!" Mo Ming's gaze was icy, his tone even colder and domineering, filled with the aura of a ruler. Wu Yong nodded in satisfaction and said, "Now Shadow Demon should understand his place. Hehe, with Mo Ming in control of the Undead Celestial Executioner, even tempered steel must yield!"
Shadow Demon furrowed his brow and struggled to rise from the ground, forcing a bitter smile as he said, "Alright, I remember."
"You better remember. I came here today to announce that starting now, the Undead Celestial Executioner is under my control. If you’re unconvinced, feel free to challenge me. Also, whoever is hiding nearby had better come out; otherwise, I can't guarantee my bullets won't end up in your body!"
As Mo Ming spoke, a silver pistol appeared in his hand as he disengaged the safety and fired a shot at a certain spot. He calmly stated, "The next shot won't be beside your left ear; it will be aimed at your head!"
