Chapter 126 Beast Tide 28
Just as Xuanze said, the little fox was a skeleton with magic power but no instincts.
Cheng Jiu was indeed unable to confront his opponent head-on. As the saying goes, brute force can overcome all methods. If things continued like this, Cheng Jiu would definitely be caught up by his opponent.
The other party's cultivation level was far higher than hers, and she narrowly escaped the Underworld Emperor several times.
The beast who set up the altar seemed to have foreseen another possibility.
Centered on the altar, a trapping formation firmly locks the altar in place, making those inside like caged birds, unable to escape from the altar.
Don't ask Cheng Jiu how she knew. Just look at the fact that her once glamorous clothes now have a huge hole in them, and you'll know how badly she's been trapped by this invisible formation.
The quality of the robes made by the master was trustworthy. Cheng Jiu felt like he was going crazy at the time. It was really too insidious. This trapping formation had no spiritual energy fluctuations, so no one could detect it at all.
But if anyone tries to leave the altar, the trap will immediately rise.
But creatures from outside can come straight in and never come out, like the group of ghosts that Xuanze kept outside.
Cheng Jiu ran straight into the trapping formation because he hadn't expected that the altar would have one.
Although he managed to escape in time, the little fox girl still managed to scratch a large gash on his body.
She was about to vomit blood, and kept cursing the treacherous villain who had set up the formation in her heart.
This is absolutely unbelievable! How can anyone be so disgusting!
Cheng Jiu didn't just sit and wait to die. After all, the other party was only somewhat powerful. Well, a fool with great strength can't compare to the intelligence and cunning of a normal person.
On his escape route, Cheng Jiu continuously set up defensive formations, making preparations for both possibilities.
After being chased by the fox woman twice, just before the fox woman's claws touched her back.
She rolled over and disappeared into the prepared ninth-grade formation. She continuously pulled out large amounts of spirit stones from her ring.
When it comes to saving your life, don't be too stingy with your belongings.
This is a fox spirit at the peak of the Mahayana stage. Even if she doesn't have a brain, her strength is genuine.
The fox woman saw that the little insect she had been chasing had finally stopped moving, and prepared to enjoy her prey.
She was about to grab her prey when she was firmly blocked by a protective shield.
The fox woman's face became even more eerie, and the black lines on her face seemed to come alive.
Her movements became even more frenzied, and her attacks were even more insane than before. The protective shield rippled under her attacks, and even developed one or two cracks.
Startled, Cheng Jiu kept taking out spirit stones from his ring, bringing out all the spirit stones he had stored to maintain the defensive formation.
They also continuously searched for items that could defend against Mahayana-stage attacks.
It's true what they say, you only realize how little you have when you need it. After searching for a long time, she finally found the jade pendant that Qingyang Immortal Lord had once given her from her ring.
He wore layers upon layers of spiritual clothing, using every defensive spiritual treasure he could find.
It was only at this moment that Cheng Jiu felt a little safe.
Turning their gaze outside, the little fox girl, who had been unable to break through the defensive formation, suddenly arched her back and roared incessantly, appearing to be in great pain.
The patterns on its body were even more bizarre, and its entire body was emanating an eerie black aura, making it look extremely ominous.
Just like leveling up in a TV show, the little fox girl's cultivation level remained unchanged because it was limited by this world.
But her black attack seemed to be the natural enemy of spiritual energy; the black light and the defensive shield collided and produced a sizzling sound.
The spirit stones around Cheng Jiu were burning even faster; this ninth-grade protective array probably wouldn't last much longer.
Cheng Jiu gasped. This aura was both strange and familiar—a demonic cultivator!
No, Cheng Jiu spent a long time in Camille City, and she didn't waste that time.
The demonic cultivators of the past are vastly different from those of today.
She can now make a more accurate judgment about the black aura that she once found unfamiliar and unidentifiable.
Demons!
It's more like demonic energy!
No, no!
Sitting and waiting to die is a dead end!
The master still doesn't know when he will be able to settle the score with the great fox woman.
Even if it's useless, she will still do her best to fight back, because it concerns her life!
At this moment, she felt incredibly envious of Wen Sishu's alchemy furnace. If her furnace had such defensive capabilities, it wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
Immortal Lord Qingxu gave her many life-saving treasures that contained his attacks.
She took out a jade pendant and began to activate it. A sword light as cold as ice shot straight at the little fox girl's face, knocking her far away and slamming her hard into the array around the altar.
To Cheng Jiu's despair, that was all; the sword light hadn't even broken through the opponent's defenses.
The little fox girl got up from the ground, completely unharmed.
But she was clearly enraged by Cheng Jiu and attacked without holding back.
Cheng Jiu could only use the Heavenly Thunder Spear, the magic treasures given to him by his master, and other magical artifacts to detonate and blast his opponent away.
Although the opponent was a mindless zombie, its strength was genuine.
Cheng Jiu wasn't always able to successfully knock his opponent away, but this was the only way he could delay and save his life.
Meanwhile, because his disciple was present, Qingxu Immortal Lord was constantly restrained in his fighting.
If he were to fight without restraint, he would probably deal with his own apprentice before he could deal with the mother and daughter.
There's no way around it, the skill level is too low. It's like a bronze player joining a master-level game. Maybe the bronze player can manage at first, but they'll quickly get crushed by the master player.
Fortunately, his apprentice was very clever and kept trying to find a way to retreat, knowing that he couldn't win.
Now, a life-saving formation has been set up so that there is no need to worry about the huge shockwaves generated during his fight with the Great Fox Woman affecting his disciple.
The thought that I could relax a little bit now flashed through my mind.
The situation on the battlefield reversed instantly. First, the great fox woman's nine majestic tails were severed at the root.
The opponent seemed to feel no pain at all, attacking relentlessly like a wild beast that had lost its mind.
Immortal Lord Qingxu easily dodged the attack and struck the opponent's forehead with a palm, freezing the opponent's body inch by inch from the forehead.
Then a large block of ice fell from the sky, but it did not break. The hard ice stone that had frozen the Great Fox Girl trembled twice on the ground and rolled to the side.
After dealing with the big fox girl, Immortal Lord Qingxu turned his gaze to the little fox girl.
The formation was already on the verge of collapse, and Cheng Jiu began preparing for his second escape.
Compared to the great fox girl, the little fox girl is indeed nothing to fear.
He severed the opponent's black claws at the root.
The little fox girl stared blankly at the limp fingers, then looked at Immortal Lord Qingxu, her hatred completely drawn to him.
She screamed and leaped up from the ground, her sharp claws and teeth growing back.
A black light flashed before Qingxu Immortal Lord's eyes.
Then the little fox girl was tragically pinned to the ground by a sword.
That attack did not cause the slightest damage to Immortal Lord Qingxu.
The Qingxu Sword was continuously activated, and the little fox girl was frozen into an ice block.
Seeing that the little fox girl had no power to resist, Cheng Jiu crawled out of the formation.
Having dealt with the two fox spirits, and seeing the increasingly frenzied ghosts in the sky, Immortal Lord Qingxu began playing the Requiem again.
The ghost calmed down from its madness and wandered in mid-air.
The next step is to break this formation and end everything.
Looking at the sea of corpses outside, a look of disgust flashed in Qingxu Immortal Lord's eyes, and for a moment he was at a loss for what to do.
The ghosts above are these people who died unjustly. Destroying their bodies right in front of them is truly inhumane.
It might even drive these ghosts even crazier.
At that point, even a requiem might not be of any use.
At this point, we need to call in professionals to solve these problems, and a subtle fluctuation came from the space.
The man in black robes who emerged from the crowd was none other than the Ghost Emperor we had met before.
"Why did you call me? You're just like your disciple, always causing trouble for others." The Ghost Emperor, emerging from the vortex, immediately noticed the dense swarm of ghosts above. "Last time, your disciple quietly created a vengeful ghost at the Tribulation Transcending stage, and I haven't even finished dealing with it yet. Now there are so many more ghosts. Sigh!"
The Ghost Emperor gave Qingxu Immortal Lord a look that said, "You're really looking for trouble."
Immortal Lord Qingxu didn't care at all, and said calmly, "This is a stronghold of the person behind the beast tide."
Upon hearing this, the Ghost Emperor looked around and clicked his tongue in amazement, saying, "This water is very deep."
Immortal Lord Qingxu pointed to the two ice sculptures lying on the ground: "They used these two to expand the influence of the beast tide."
The Ghost Emperor looked down at the ice sculpture and clicked his tongue lightly: "I won't fight you for this demon. I know you'll take it back to your sect for a thorough examination."
However, these two absolutely cannot die on the Xuan Tian Continent; my Ghost Realm will never accept them.
If you really want to deal with them thoroughly, remember to take them to the outer battlefield and deal with them completely.
The Ghost Emperor looked at the mother and daughter with a cold voice. As his words fell, even though she was frozen in the ice sculpture, blood tears continued to flow from the mother's eyes.
Immortal Lord Qingxu nodded: "Don't worry, I understand. I will talk to the sect leader when we return to the sect."
"That's good! I'll take these ghosts with me! If you need help again in the future, just call me." The Ghost Emperor nodded and didn't reminisce, but instead collected all the ghosts in the sky.
As the Ghost Emperor departed, the previously gloomy sky revealed a clear and bright light.
The warm and pure light, the golden sunlight shining on his body, made Cheng Jiu feel very comfortable.
It was golden, and Cheng Jiu realized it wasn't an illusion.
Golden light shone down from the sky, which was the merit. Two parts returned to Cheng Jiu, and eight parts fell entirely on Qingxu Immortal Lord.
And this seemed to be the clearing of the sky after the rain, the sky slowly darkening, with large clusters of dark clouds crowding together.
Lightning flashed through the dark clouds as Immortal Lord Qingxu focused intently on unraveling the array on the altar.
The thunderclouds in the sky seemed to be in sync with Qingxu Immortal Lord's movements.
The moment the altar was opened, a plume of black smoke shot into the sky, followed by a fierce bolt of lightning that struck straight down!
The black energy was instantly dispersed, and the lightning pressed its advantage, striking down one after another, bypassing Cheng Jiu and Qingxu Immortal Lord.
Until all the black energy stored within the altar is extinguished
A massive ball of fire descended from the sky, incinerating the sea of sinful corpses.
As the thunderclouds dispersed and the sea of fire subsided, the region seemed to have been cleansed by the heavens, and the entire area regained its former glory.
"Let's go back to the sect!" Immortal Lord Qingxu patted his disciple's head.
"Master, is it really over just like that?" Cheng Jiu was still a little dazed.
It was all too fast. Cheng Jiu couldn't even react. Just a moment ago, she was on a fierce and dangerous battlefield, and now everything had calmed down, and her master was actually taking her back to the sect!
"Ok!"
"So the beast tide was dealt with?" Cheng Jiu asked!
"This is the main formation. As for the other nine branch formations, I have already informed the sect leader. The sect leader will contact the other four sects, and someone will go and destroy them," said Immortal Lord Qingxu calmly.
It is indeed very difficult to detect these anomalies without knowing the details of the formation, but if one knows the details of the formation, the other nine locations and the five major sects have a wealth of talent and can easily deduce it.
When the time comes, the five major sects will send people to destroy these formations, so there's no need for the two of them to destroy them one by one.
"The core of the formation?" Cheng Jiu wondered. Was there something special about that formation?
Immortal Lord Qingxu sat on Xuanze's lap, reaching out to pull Cheng Jiu up. Xuanze, with a look of disgust, grabbed the two frozen fox girls from the ground.
Immortal Lord Qingxu pointed to their clear white hair: "The demon race has always been protective of its own. I think it will be very difficult for the people of Muhou to capture a demon with a bloodline purer than hers."
Among white foxes, the whiter and clearer their fur, the purer their bloodline. She was originally the youngest daughter of the white fox clan chief.
Cheng Jiu followed Qingxu Immortal Lord's gaze to the giant fox woman: "I remember that the demon race was very much loved by heaven and earth, so why is the Ghost Emperor so disgusted with them?"
Xuanze said with a look of disgust, "Because she's a traitor!"
traitor!
Cheng Jiu was stunned. What kind of traitor would be so despised by heaven and earth? "What did she do?"
"She betrayed the demon race, revealing their plans to the demon clan, causing them heavy losses," Xuanze replied, his tone filled with indescribable disgust. "Such a traitor should be struck by lightning and burned alive, not used to disgust people here!"
Cheng Jiu nodded. Although he didn't know the specifics, he could tell that this fox demon had betrayed the demon race and stabbed them in the back. He deserved to be despised by heaven and earth.
Cheng Jiu then thought, "I've heard that the demon race is very protective of their own and unreasonable. If she appears in the cultivation world with such a tragic death, won't the cultivation world take its anger out on her?"
It's not impossible! After all, the demon race has always been domineering. Perhaps in their eyes, they can deal with this traitor, but other races cannot.
"Don't worry, her collusion with the demons is enough to make her die a thousand times over!"
Moreover, the demon race wouldn't support her.
Her father was the planner and implementer of that war.
After the plan was betrayed, her father died in battle while covering the demon's retreat in an attempt to atone for his sins.
Moreover, because of her collusion with the demons, the White Fox clan was not only suppressed by the Demon Emperor.
Her branch was also implicated and lost the chance to become the clan leader, becoming a collateral branch. What demon would support her now? Xuanze said.
"Then what is she after?" Cheng Jiu was puzzled when she heard this. She could even betray her own father. What was she after?
Could it be that her father treated her badly, or that this vixen was simply an ingrate?
"Who knows? He was restless in life, betraying the demon race, and even after death he will come back to wreak havoc on the cultivation world."
No wonder this beast tide is so widespread! Purebred demons died in vain, plus the bastard offspring born from demons!
No wonder all the monsters they encountered were completely irrational.
Xuanze's tone was cold and full of disgust; even with the two ice blocks clutched in its dragon claws, it felt dirty.
