Chapter 8: Humiliation of the Demonic Twins
Chapter 7:
The battle between Lin Fan and the Demon Twins, Li Qing and Li Mu, commenced instantly after Li Qing attempted to attack Lin Fan. With astonishing speed, Li Qing's hand, coated in a demonic aura, shot toward Lin Fan's face. Yet, Lin Fan moved lightly, evading the attack with a simple step before retaliating with a devastating punch to Li Qing's chest. The force sent Li Qing stumbling back several steps, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Li Mu let out a sinister laugh upon seeing his brother retreat. Raising both hands, he formed a series of intricate seals. "Demonic Harmony!" Li Mu shouted as he and his brother began channeling their surging energy in synchronized waves.
The room transformed into a battlefield illuminated by a sinister demonic energy. Massive vortices of power swirled around the twins, creating a dome of dark aura that enveloped Lin Fan. The walls trembled, and the ceiling cracked under the immense pressure radiating from their combined technique.
"This is the Demonic Harmony technique," Lin Fan thought, his eyes gleaming with understanding and a smile playing on his lips. "A skill that demands perfect coordination between its users. Although it's only at the fourth grade, it showcases the potential of these two twins.
"However, I must be cautious. I'm not yet accustomed to combat or the myriad techniques of the Demon Emperor. Still, this battle is an excellent opportunity to test myself and hone my combat experience. I'm excited for the moment when they'll grovel before me like dogs!" A maniacal smile mirrored Lin Fan's growing anticipation as he matched the twins' fiery determination.
With a confident smirk, Lin Fan raised his hand, conjuring a sphere of brilliant blue flames—the invincible Phoenix Flame of the same level. "Let's see how you handle this!" Lin Fan murmured as the flames engulfed his entire body.
Charging forward, Lin Fan targeted Li Qing with his flame-covered fist, dodging the twins' attacks with breathtaking speed. He landed a punch to Li Qing's stomach before swiftly kicking Li Mu, sending him flying back. Seizing the opportunity, Lin Fan unleashed a series of punches at Li Qing, most of which Li Qing managed to evade.
Yet, despite taking fewer hits, each strike allowed the flames to latch onto Li Qing's body, burning him slowly despite his efforts to shield himself. However, Li Mu quickly returned, making things more challenging for Lin Fan. Due to his lack of battle experience, every strike he landed on one twin allowed the other to counterattack. But Lin Fan's Phoenix Flame granted him regenerative powers, keeping him unfazed by the injuries he sustained.
The room filled with searing heat. The walls began to burn and crack, and the furniture disintegrated into ashes. The intensity of the fight was such that one wall of the room collapsed, revealing the battle to the street outside.
Outside, a crowd began to gather, astonished by the sight. They had seen the Demon Twins in battle before, but they never imagined anyone could hold their own against them like this. Murmurs and gasps filled the air as onlookers stared in awe. Some questioned the identity of the young man who dared face such formidable opponents and seemed to have the upper hand.
Xue Bing observed from a distance, her gaze a mix of surprise and intrigue. "This... this boy is stronger than I thought!" she mused, watching Lin Fan move with blinding speed as the Phoenix Flame cloaked his devastating blows. "If he defeats the twins, I'll have to seduce him to free myself from the filth I'm trapped in."
The Demon Twins, despite their numerical advantage, were visibly fatigued and increasingly injured. "How is this boy healing so fast?!" Li Qing screamed internally, watching Lin Fan's wounds close rapidly under the blue flames' influence.
Li Mu, however, was thinking differently. Observing the tide turning against them, he murmured to Li Qing, "If this continues, we'll lose... We need to use our last resort."
Before the twins could execute their next move, Lin Fan erupted into a blazing phoenix of blue fire. He closed the distance between them in a flash, unleashing a flurry of kicks that left Li Qing and Li Mu reeling. Each strike deepened their wounds, while Lin Fan's body continued to regenerate with every passing second.
The shattered wall behind them gave the spectators a clear view of the fight as the twins desperately fought back against Lin Fan, investing all their efforts into futile counterattacks. The clash of demonic energy and Phoenix Flame created deafening explosions, while the cracked ground beneath them bore witness to the battle's ferocity.
"Yu Kuan!" Lin Fan shouted without turning his head. "Make sure no one escapes!"
Yu Kuan, watching the battle with widened eyes, thought to himself, "Lin Fan is far stronger than I ever imagined... It seems he never took our fights seriously at all."
Finally, as their injuries mounted and the Phoenix Flame's power became unbearable, the Demon Twins collapsed to the ground, defeated and exhausted.
Lin Fan stood tall, his chest rising and falling with his heavy breaths as he stared at the fallen twins. "This is what happens when you stand in my way."
He strode toward the twins slowly, his face adorned with a haughty smile, his eyes gleaming coldly.
Once he was close enough, Lin Fan knelt on one knee and extended his hand, gripping their heads firmly.
In one swift motion, he slammed their heads into the ground with immense force, causing the earth to quake and crack beneath the impact. Smirking with disdain, he looked at their broken expressions. "Did you really think you could match me?" he mocked. "I surpass you in every way. Just considering facing someone like me is an act of sheer ignorance!"
Taking a step back, Lin Fan clasped his hands behind his back, exuding an air of superiority. "Now... what do you think? Shall I roast you slowly, letting you savor the unquenchable flames? Or should I kill you quickly? I'll grant you the honor of choosing."
The twins exchanged desperate, terrified glances before groveling with utter humiliation. "Young Master... please, we were ignorant fools who failed to see your greatness!" Li Qing stammered. "We'll follow you for life, like dogs, our great lord... We'll never fail you again!"
Lin Fan's smirk widened, a smile filled with dominance and contempt. This was what he wanted—to see them utterly broken. He rose slowly, gesturing for them to continue their humiliation. "Perhaps I'll give you a chance, but there's a test you must pass first... Kiss my boot and start licking it, so I can see if you're sincere."
For a brief moment, the twins hesitated, but their fear overwhelmed their fragile pride. Crawling toward Lin Fan's feet, they began kissing and licking his boot without hesitation, ignoring the crowd's astonished and disdainful gazes.
Watching them debase themselves so completely, Lin Fan let out a derisive chuckle. Then, with an icy tone, he commanded, "Enough, you filthy dogs. End this pathetic display."
Lin Fan, with a scornful smile etched on his face, produced two fourth-grade pills between his fingers. His gaze radiated unshakable arrogance, as if the pills were mere scraps he was tossing their way. Extending his hand toward them, he said in a commanding tone, "These are for you—to heal your wounds and to remind you always… everything is under my control."
Despite the doubt flickering in the twins' eyes, his cold glare compelled them to comply. Slowly, they took the pills, and as soon as they swallowed them, the effects took hold. Their wounds healed rapidly, as though the pain was being erased entirely from their bodies.
But their relief was short-lived. Just as faint smiles began to grace their faces, Lin Fan snapped his fingers. In an instant, their smiles twisted into expressions of agony. Overwhelming pain tore through their bodies, as though they had been thrown into a tormenting hell. They clutched their heads, stifled cries escaping as they writhed on the ground.
After five long minutes of relentless suffering, Lin Fan ended their torment. With a cold smile, he declared, "From now on, your lives and deaths are in my hands. I can make you feel that pain anytime I desire."
The twins trembled, utterly defeated, and spoke in pleading voices, "Master, we will never fail you… We would never oppose you, and we never even thought of betraying you!"
Then, Lin Fan moved slowly toward Xue Bing, his eyes gleaming with arrogant desire. Placing his hand lightly on her waist, he said with a tone brimming with conceit, "Isn't it only fair that I now claim my prize?"
