Chapter 79 – Two-tailed fox demon



Chapter 79 – Two-tailed fox demon

"Meng Fan!"

"Meng Fan, big brother!!"

The two women were completely stunned.

They were about to kill the ox demon to save the girl, but to their surprise, Meng Fan had already slain her first.

"What are you dazing for? The ox demon is coming, kill it first!" Meng Fan said to Liu Yanping and Li Xuerou.

Although the two young ladies were full of shock and confusion, they had no choice but to suppress their horror and deal with the ox demon first.

The ox demon was weak, not as strong as the previous two.

Li Xuerou and Liu Yanping attacked together, and naturally, the ox demon's head was severed in an instant.

In fact, Liu Yanping didn't even need to make a move; her sword was slower than Li Xuerou's, amounting to a miss.

There was nothing to say, although both were devoid of cultivation level and True Qi, Li Xuerou was indeed much stronger than Liu Yanping.

"Meng Fan, how could you kill the innocent?"

The two women turned back, looking somewhat disoriented.

Indiscriminate killing was a taboo in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, even if they were not in the sect, it was still a violation of the rules, a major one!

They would be severely punished upon returning.

The expressions on Liu Yanping and Li Xuerou's faces were somewhat ugly. They were wondering whether to cover up this incident for Meng Fan.

But with over a hundred disciples from Shu Mountain entering this forest, it was impossible to keep such a secret!

"Don't be paranoid, clear your heads," Meng Fan rolled his eyes at them.

"Accusing me of killing the innocent? Take a closer look, is this really an innocent?"

Hearing Meng Fan's words, Liu Yanping and Li Xuerou shifted their gaze from Meng Fan's face to the girl's corpse.

Huh? Where was the girl?

Where there should have been the girl's corpse, there was now a bucket-sized cyan-orange fox.

This fox had two tails and clearly was no ordinary creature!

"This... The girl just now, wasn't human? A demon? Transformed by a fox demon?" Li Xuerou was shocked beyond belief, staring incredulously at the fox demon's corpse.

Liu Yanping was even more overwhelmed, her face full of life's doubts, too shocked to speak.

A fox that could transform into a human?

Indeed, the legends were true; demons that cultivated to a high realm could transform into human form.

Li Xuerou's gaze towards Meng Fan was tinged with admiration, just like when she was a child.

Ever since arriving at the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, the admiration in her eyes had faded because Meng Fan had become a "waste" compared to others.

Of course, Li Xuerou wouldn't look down on Meng Fan for this, but under such circumstances, it was unrealistic for her to continue admiring him.

This was human nature, quite normal!

Many younger sisters think their brothers are incredibly powerful when they're young, only to grow up and realize their brothers are "wastes."

The same was true for her own brother.

At this moment, Li Xuerou found herself reverting to the admiration she felt for her brother Meng Fan when she was younger.

Her own realm and mental strength were stronger than Meng Fan's, but she hadn't noticed that the girl was a fox demon, while Meng Fan had spotted it at a glance.

Truly impressive!

In fact, although Meng Fan's realm was not as high as Li Xuerou's, his mental strength was not weaker than hers.

After all, he practiced Fu Xi's visualization techniques.

And in terms of insight, Meng Fan was no less than Li Xuerou.

When he was still in the Qi Cultivation Realm, Elder Lin took him to the Heavenly Heart Mountains for training, where he encountered a charming fox demon.

With that experience, Meng Fan would not make the same mistake again.

Most importantly, Hong Qi was adept at the art of charm.

She recognized at a glance that the girl was not human!

With Hong Qi around, Meng Fan was not likely to capsize in the gutter.

"This fox demon doesn't have the ability to transform into a human; that's something only high-level demons can achieve.

This fox demon is not strong; it just charmed us, making us fall into an illusion.

It's just a trivial trick, not worth mentioning. As long as one's mental strength is strong enough, they can see through such illusions," Meng Fan explained to Liu Yanping and Li Xuerou.

Since the most common demons in this forest were fox and ox demons, they were bound to encounter more fox demons.

He wanted them to be more aware and vigilant so they wouldn't be easily fooled again.

"Remember, in this forest, apart from the disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, there can't be any other humans. If you encounter any strange people later on, they're definitely fox demons using charm techniques. Just slay them on sight!"

Hearing Meng Fan's words, Li Xuerou and Liu Yanping nodded in agreement.

Then Li Xuerou, somewhat worried, said, "These fox demons are tricky; I wonder if the other Senior Brothers will be ensnared and in danger?"

Meng Fan casually replied, "Don't worry, although fox demons know charm techniques, their attack power is not strong.

As soon as they attack a disciple of Shu Mountain, the disciple will quickly come to their senses, at worst suffering minor injuries.

And did you notice that this fox demon has two tails?"

The two women nodded; they had certainly noticed.

Meng Fan placed his hand on the fox demon's body, began to absorb the Spiritual Essence, and cultivated his Supreme Dominance Body.

After killing a demon, it was crucial to absorb the Spiritual Essence quickly, or it would dissipate.

With the previous two ox demons, Meng Fan only absorbed for about ten seconds before their Spiritual Essence was exhausted.

But this time, he absorbed for nearly a minute.

Then he moved to the ox demon's side and absorbed its Spiritual Essence.

This time, it only took about ten seconds.

After all this, Meng Fan stood up and said, "A two-tailed fox demon is no weakling; it should belong to the depths of the forest. It just happened to come to the outskirts and encountered us.

Normally, the disciples of Shu Mountain would encounter one-tailed fox demons.

Their charm techniques are not as strong!"

Hearing Meng Fan say this, Li Xuerou and Liu Yanping felt much more at ease.

It turned out that they were charmed not because they were weak, but because this fox demon was particularly strong!

"It seems we're lucky, we've stumbled upon a big catch," Li Xuerou said excitedly.

This attitude made Meng Fan even more aware of the young lady's competitive spirit.

Isn't it better for a girl to be a bit gentler?

Meng Fan chuckled bitterly, sliced open the fox demon's belly, picked out a demon core with his sword, and tossed it to Li Xuerou.

The ox demon's demon core was only the size of a little fingernail.

But the fox demon's demon core was the size of a thumb nail.

This proved that Meng Fan was right; this fox demon's level was indeed much higher.

Li Xuerou looked at the demon core, her brows furrowed, and said to Meng Fan, "Big brother Meng Fan, this is your trophy."

Meng Fan shook his head, "I've already taken my share by absorbing the demon's Spiritual Essence. Taking the demon core as well would be taking advantage of you."

"But..."

"No buts. If I tell you to take it, you take it. Refusing would mean you look down on me as your brother."
