Chapter 28 Standing aside and watching
Seeing that Wu Xinmo wanted to use the woman to block the lightning, Lu Yifang's eyes flashed and stopped the lightning.
Wu Xinmo was stunned. He did not expect Lu Yifang to really stop. A disdainful smile appeared on his face and he grabbed the woman's neck.
"Ghost Rider, make this mortal hand over the contract immediately, otherwise I will kill her, devour her soul, and make her fall into hell forever." The Witch Heart Demon threatened.
"I won't... No, don't kill her!" Ghost Rider covered his head, and the two consciousnesses in his body argued endlessly.
On the one hand, Lu looked bitter, as if he was making a difficult decision, but in the end he gritted his teeth and seemed to have made a "decision".
"If I hand over the contract, can you promise to let the woman go?"
"Of course you can." Wu Xinmo smiled and added in his heart, but after I get the power, I will definitely kill you.
Foolish mortals, after so many years, are still troubled by useless pity. They are really fools who have made no progress.
"Okay then. I'll count to three and then throw them out together." Lu Yifang took out the contract.
"one two Three!"
As the number "three" fell, Ghost Rider took his girlfriend back, and Witch Heart Demon quickly grabbed the contract.
"Haha, what stupid mortals, you will pay the price for your useless mercy." The Witch Heart Demon laughed, unfolded the contract and recited the spell.
"Ah~Ga Ga!!" Thousands of sinful souls rushed out, screaming, grinning, and cursing, surrounding the Witch Heart Demon and all merging into his body.
"I feel the surging power in my body...BOOM BOOM!!" Before he could finish his words, Wu Xinmo was submerged by thunder again.
"The result doesn't seem to have changed much." Lu Yifang spread his hands.
"How dare you, foolish man, look down on the new Lord of the Underworld." The Witch Heart Demon opened his lips and spewed out thick black gas, which resisted the thunder and continued to expand.
In a flash, the black skeleton turned into a huge skull, larger than the mountains. It let out a hoarse laugh, opened its huge mouth, and swallowed all the thunderclouds in the sky.
"Indeed, you are no longer the enemy you once were." Lu Yifang glanced at him with a hint of surprise, "Unfortunately, I am no longer your opponent at this moment."
"You're right, your opponent is me now." The Ghost Rider took advantage of the moment when the Witch Heart Demon was attracted by Lu Yifang, quietly went behind him, and suddenly captured the Witch Heart Demon.
"There are already a thousand souls in your body ready to be burned." After the Ghost Rider said this, the Eye of Judgment burning with hellfire flashed.
“No, no!” Feeling the gaze of the Eye of Judgment, Wu Xinmo truly smelled the breath of death for the first time.
The Witch Heart Demon was unaware that his immortality was a joke. As the son of Mephisto, his power was weak because he had no soul. However, when he gained a soul, his immortality also disappeared. Perhaps he himself was the failure of Mephisto's research on immortality.
After a wail of unwillingness, Wu Xinmo fell to the ground and could not get up.
"This is finally over." Ghost Rider transformed back into Johnny and turned to leave.
However, a gleam of fire flashed in the eyes of the fallen Wu Xinmo, and he suddenly stood up.
"You did a good job." The one named "Witch Heart Demon" clapped his hands and looked at Ghost Rider and Lu Yifang with a smile on his face.
"How is this possible? Why aren't you dead yet?" Johnny was stunned for a moment when he saw Wu Xinmo stand up again.
"Then burn his soul again." Johnny transformed into Ghost Rider again and grabbed the Witch Demon again, and the Hellfire spread throughout his body.
However, Wu Xinmo did not feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "My knight, the Hellfire was originally the power I gave you. Do you want to kill me with my power?"
"You are... Mephisto!" Ghost Rider said in a horrified tone.
Hellfire, also known as soul fire, can burn both the body and the soul, and can be called a different kind of magical flame. Although Ghost Rider wanted to create it, he still had some shortcomings. His Hellfire came from Mephisto, and Hellfire is the symbol of the ruler of the underworld.
"My knight, you did a good job!" Mephisto patted Ghost Rider's shoulder with satisfaction and forced him to turn back into Johnny.
At this moment, the netherfire that entangled Mephisto became more and more intense, turning into a flaming armor covering his body. The pale skin of the witch demon turned dark red, and his hair burned instantly, replaced by a pair of sharp horns.
"I am Mephisto, the ruler of the underworld!" Mephisto growled and spread his blazing red bat wings.
Boom! The netherworld fire turned into a raging wave of fire, sweeping across the town in an instant, turning it into purgatory.
In this sea of fire, only Lu Yifang and Ghost Rider stood firm. Mephisto flew into the air and cast his eyes towards Lu Yifang.
"Mortal, you are actually immune to the Hellfire. It is indeed because of the X gene." Mephisto expressed his approval.
"After being promoted to level 5 mutant, the X gene is half activated and begins to automatically compensate for the atavism. Mortal, I have high hopes for you. With my help, you will quickly become a demigod. So..." Mephisto stretched out his hand, and the nether fire in front of him condensed into parchment.
"Make a contract with me and become my knight."
"You don't need to worry about this matter." Lu Yifang said coldly. He knew very well that the demigod mentioned by Mephisto was not a false god of Asgard, but a real god.
Legend has it that Thanos is a demigod, who makes up for almost all the shortcomings of mortals. With powerful strength and a tenacious soul, he directly draws on the power of the universe and becomes an extraordinary life form that can travel freely in the universe.
This is extremely tempting for Lu Yifang. If he wants to reach this level, he needs to at least be promoted to LV5+.
Unfortunately, this promise came from Mephisto! Can this guy's words be trusted and his promises be reliable?
As soon as he appeared on the scene, he showed the attitude of a villain boss. Could he be a little more sincere and learn from the pink and white little beast with long ears and long tail to lower other people's vigilance?
"Sure enough, that idiot Wu Xinmo is just your pawn." Lu Yifang wisely changed the subject.
"He thought he had gotten rid of your control, but in fact, whether it was snatching the contract or fighting against Ghost Rider, he was acting according to your plan."
"He is just a child after all, too young." Mephisto laughed. He was in a good mood after successfully killing his son.
In the underworld, "He is still young and should not be let go" is a fine tradition.
"There is one thing I don't understand. What exactly do you want to achieve by going through all this trouble? Is it just for the Saint Vanganza Contract? Even the Witch Heart Demon can succeed. I don't believe that you have been helpless against the old Ghost Rider for a hundred years." Lu Yifang said doubtfully.
"The reason is of course a test, a test for the guy who has been preventing me from invading the human world for many years." Mephisto laughed. Is he really like what Wu Xinmo thought, with a rigid mindset and only wanting to hide in the underworld?
No, he never gave up the opportunity to invade Earth. The three temples of the Hermitage could have monitored the magic on Earth, but Ghost Rider encountered members of the Hermitage when he was on the move.
The reason is that Mephisto has discovered a loophole in the temple and found a way to block detection.
However, every covert action could not escape the spying of the Ancient One, the Eye of Agamotto. No matter how cunning he was or how detailed his plan was, he could not defeat the Ancient One who had opened his omniscient perspective.
In the human world, it is not easy for his real body to descend, so his clone is often expelled by Ancient One in a panic.
After the Dormammu incident, Mephisto was surprised to find that the Supreme Sorcerer had changed hands, so he set up this test, and the result satisfied him.
"Now, the whole world belongs to me." Mephisto sneered.
"I don't know why you are so happy, but things may not turn out as you wish." After Mephisto appeared, Lu Yifang finally understood Ancient One's concerns about potential threats.
Now that he knew the whole story, Lu decided to stand aside and leave the matter to professionals...
"Supreme Sorcerer, I have taken over your matters." Lu Yifang raised his head and shouted. This was the reason why he was fearless in the face of Mephisto. The Ancient One, holding the Eye of Agamotto, would not break his promise.
As he finished speaking, a teleportation portal suddenly appeared beside him.
