Chapter 290: Battle against the Nine-Tailed Fox
Hearing Little Zhuge’s voice, Wang Yufan knew that Little Zhuge might not be able to handle this Six-Tailed Fox, whose strength was at the Qiankun Realm, alone. Even though the Six-Tailed Fox currently only had five tails, it still possessed the cultivation of a high-level God-Emperor Realm, and relying on Little Zhuge to subdue it was far from enough.
Ni Chang, holding the Feng Ling Sword, leaped and charged directly towards the Six-Tailed Fox.
"Oh no, these two humans are trying to kill me. I must use my last bit of strength to summon Ancestor even more powerfully," the Six-Tailed Fox thought, while once again sacrificing its Inner Core. One of its tails broke off, and at this moment, the Nine-tailed Fox, who was confronting Little Zhuge’s master, also saw her strength surge again, directly reaching the eighth level of the Yuankun Realm, just one step away from the Yuanji Realm.
Little Zhuge’s master frowned when he saw this, because the power emanating from the Nine-tailed Fox now exceeded his own.
"Disciple, you two quickly kill that fox demon with only four tails. If it loses another tail, then we might not be able to escape at all," Little Zhuge’s master secretly transmitted to Little Zhuge.
Upon receiving the message, Little Zhuge’s staff attacks became even more ferocious, and so did Wang Yufan’s. Although he currently only had the strength of the True Immortal Realm, his actual combat power far exceeded his realm itself.
With the two of them working together, the fox demon, now with only four tails, was beaten to a pulp and gasping for breath on the ground within dozens of breaths.
In contrast, on the Nine-tailed Fox’s side of the battle, the staff in Little Zhuge’s master’s hand seemed to exert no power at all. Although this staff was naturally designed to counter demon beasts, it was as useless as chicken ribs against powerful demons, and Little Zhuge’s master was clearly at a disadvantage.
And his figure was slowly becoming transparent, after all, he was just a spiritual projection.
After seeing this, Little Zhuge and Ni Chang, working together, directly slew the Six-Tailed Fox. As for its Inner Core, the two did not collect it; they merely stared at the battle in the sky.
"What should we do? The Nine-tailed Fox’s strength has become so powerful. It seems my master won’t last much longer. No, I must go up and help my master," Little Zhuge said, then tried to lunge forward, but Wang Yufan held him back.
"If you rush up like that, you’ll probably be directly knocked away by their power before you even get close. All you’ll be doing is useless work," Wang Yufan said.
"Then am I just supposed to watch my master be defeated like this? If my master fails, we might both be buried here today. You Little White Face, instead of coming up with a plan, you’re just standing here talking," Little Zhuge said.
Wang Yufan just shook his head; he knew Little Zhuge might just be a bit anxious.
His eyes watched the intense battle, gripping the Feng Ling Sword in his hand, then he secretly transmitted to Little Zhuge’s master:
"I can lend you the sword in my hand. Can you defeat this Nine-tailed Fox?"
Hearing Wang Yufan’s transmission, Little Zhuge’s master paused for a moment, then transmitted back: "I saw the sword in your hand just now; it’s a good sword, and I think I know it, but I can’t quite recall. However, if you just lend it to me, I’m confident I can defeat this Six-Tailed Fox.
And don’t worry, although it’s a treasured sword, this old man is not one to seize other people’s possessions."
Hearing the old man’s transmission, Wang Yufan nodded, and immediately sacrificed the Feng Ling Sword in his hand.
Anyway, with his precious female disciple here, if this old man didn’t return it, he would just kidnap Little Zhuge. Although he had never done such a thing, he would have no choice but to do it then.
The moment the Feng Ling Sword entered his hand, Little Zhuge’s master immediately felt the extraordinary power emanating from it, and a palm-sized little person sat on the sword hilt, then immediately disappeared again.
"Sword Spirit?" Little Zhuge’s master was slightly startled. Although he also possessed items with weapon spirits, they were all within the weapon’s main body. This Sword Spirit just now was actually able to emerge from the sword. At this moment, Little Zhuge’s master concluded that he had not misjudged this sword; it was indeed a divine artifact.
But he didn’t have time to consider it further, because the Nine-tailed Fox’s attack was coming towards him again.
"Good, Nine-tailed Fox, come on, let’s see what you’ve got.
Daoist Sword Art — Breaking Formation." The Feng Ling Sword in Little Zhuge’s hand trembled incessantly, and an extremely powerful sword intent directly erupted. As the Sword Spirit of the Feng Ling Sword, he was also releasing his power; only in the hands of a strong person could his power be displayed. With the execution of the sword art, the Feng Ling Sword emitted its own icy coldness. And behind Little Zhuge, a giant sword shadow condensed into a pattern appeared out of thin air, and a huge energy ring spread out in all directions.
"Go." Little Zhuge’s master directly thrust out a sword, and the Feng Ling Sword flew out of his hand. Behind the sword hilt, a large yin-yang fish pattern spun continuously. After leaving his hand, the Feng Ling Sword instantly became several times larger, attacking the Nine-tailed Fox.
The Nine-tailed Fox, who was about to attack, immediately chose to retreat upon seeing this attack. She realized that she might not be able to contend with this attack. Then, her nine tails wrapped around her, and a silvery-white light curtain directly enveloped her.
With a "boom," the Feng Ling Sword struck the shield formed by the Nine-tailed Fox.
The moment she felt the power from this sword, the Nine-tailed Fox’s eyes instantly narrowed.
"This... this is a sword used by Yuanzu. How could it be here, and the icy cold power on it is so formidable?" The Nine-tailed Fox murmured to herself.
At the same time, she released all her power, because this attack truly exceeded her expectations.
The two forces continuously clashed in the air, and huge energy fluctuations spread in all directions.
"Hahaha, this is truly a good sword! Coupled with my unique sword technique, Nine-tailed Fox, you’re finished! I tried to reason with you before, but you just wouldn’t listen. If you won’t listen, then I have no choice. You can only disappear for me." As Little Zhuge’s master spoke, his staff appeared in his hand. He intended to launch a pincer attack on the Nine-tailed Fox, completely shattering this spiritual projection of the fox demon.
"Go, Demon-Slaying Staff." As he spoke, he directly swung the staff in his hand, and a massive suppressive force emanated from the staff, directly pressing down on the Nine-tailed Fox.
Seeing this scene, the Nine-tailed Fox’s eyes were about to burst with rage. Her descendants were annihilated by humans right under her nose, and now she was being suppressed by a human whose realm was not even as high as hers. An extreme sense of humiliation and indignation swept through her entire body.
The suppressive force of the staff caused the Nine-tailed Fox’s power to continuously decline.
And the Feng Ling Sword was still continuously attacking the protective barrier she had deployed. Under the pincer attack of the two forces, the Nine-tailed Fox could no longer resist and was directly sent flying.
