Chapter 1504 - 541: He Only Looks Harmless
"The New Heavenly Court was established by the Human Race? The general hails from the Demon Bull Race, serves the Human Race’s Heavenly Court, yet accuses someone as gentle as myself of being a fierce demon.
"I certainly cannot bear such charges."
Niu Benben’s nostrils quivered continuously.
He said coldly: "Here lies a ground full of bones, and you still claim you’re not a fierce demon!"
"Did the general see me kill them?"
The Nine-tailed Fox chuckled lightly:
"Does the general truly know what transpired here, or are you hastily assigning crimes to me without clear understanding? What, does the general want to misuse public power to force me to submit to your might?"
Niu Benben scoffed: "If you’re not a fierce demon, why were you sealed!"
"So, they claim I brought chaos to the Hundred Clans, and that’s my fault, is it?"
The Nine-tailed Fox sighed softly, her almond eyes filled with sorrow, her beautiful face slightly somber, as she spoke gently:
"There are always those in power who, of their own accord, insist on weaving fabricated charges against a delicate woman like myself.
"Clearly, they sought to possess me. They turned on each other in their ambition. The wounds on their bones are all bizarre; surely I am not skilled in hundreds of Magical Combat techniques.
"There was originally a powerful formation here.
"Ultimately, it was a big figure from the Ancient Heavenly Court who sealed me, stating that I was to be punished with a fifty thousand years’ banishment. Who would’ve thought that before the term expired, this figure would perish and fail to return."
Niu Benben was slightly stunned.
Not a fierce demon?
His gaze swept across the surroundings, and indeed he saw that the injuries on various immortal bones were distinct, some even retained postures of mutual destruction.
Just then, a Treasure Bead flew from behind Niu Benben, gleaming with faint light, and misty images appeared in the center of the hall.
The images revealed:
This stone hall was originally on the surface, surrounded by peach blossoms everywhere. Beautiful women of the Heavenly Fox Clan roamed amidst the Peach Blossom Forest, playing and frolicking, delightfully at leisure.
Within the stone hall, a grand feast was taking place.
At the banquet were hundreds of experts, and it wasn’t difficult to deduce their clan origins from their transformed appearances.
The atmosphere of the banquet became increasingly exuberant as a woman graced the stage, causing the experts of the Hundred Clans to breathe heavily.
The woman’s white gown and her appearance were identical to that of the present Nine-tailed Fox, exuding an otherworldly, alluring, and rousing presence as she gracefully danced in the center of the stone hall.
Women of the Heavenly Fox Clan in the Peach Blossom Forest also began to dance gracefully, the entire forest and stone hall enveloped by a grand formation.
Disaster ensued quickly.
As the Nine-tailed Fox’s dance grew more enchanting, her long skirt slowly slipped off, revealing the sheer gown underneath.
The experts of the Hundred Clans seemed bewitched, cheering continuously for the Nine-tailed Fox, and then inexplicably began to battle one another.
Within the grand formation, the experts of the Hundred Clans went mad, biting, striking, engaging in close combat, even forgetting to use Divine Skills and magical treasures.
Traces of pink breath flew from above these experts’ heads, continuously converging towards the Nine-tailed Fox, as her dance became more captivating and mesmerizing.
She seemed to be attempting to break through a realm.
As the experts of the Hundred Clans suffered heavy casualties, someone suddenly regained consciousness, hurriedly shouting, only to be immediately slain by a lurking Heavenly Fox Clan expert.
Desire;
Sacrifice;
Just at this moment, a streak of lightning struck down from the sky.
The Nine-tailed Fox, on the verge of stepping into the Great Luo Realm, was briefly stunned, paused her movements, looked skyward, and her beautiful face transformed into a fox, letting out a roar at the heavens.
"Humph!"
A cold snort suddenly descended, and a Treasure Sword dropped from the sky, instantly expanding to the size of a mountain.
The Nine-tailed Fox struggled with all her might, but was locked on by the sword with no place to hide, her form reverted to her true body, swiftly charging upwards, but was slammed down by the sword, utterly powerless.
"East Emperor Taiyi! On what grounds do you obstruct me! Are you so insecure!"
The Nine-tailed Fox shouted angrily.
The last of the scene showed the greatsword smashing down, the stone hall being driven underground, the Heavenly Fox Clan suffering heavy casualties, and the body of the Nine-tailed Fox being suppressed within the stone hall.
A constellation fell from the sky, setting up layers of formations.
...
Niu Benben’s adam’s apple bobbed a few times, and he shook his head violently to shake off the lingering effects of the dance he had just witnessed.
He looked forward.
The Nine-tailed Fox slightly lowered her head, expression still unflustered.
She spoke softly: "See, general, I didn’t kill them, did I? But that little officer behind you, what a mighty treasure he has."
"Damn it! Truly unsettling!"
Niu Benben swore with bulging eyes:
"It seems without showing some real strength, you won’t know why I am the leader of the Heavenly Fury Guards! Moo—"
With a thunderous bellow, Niu Benben’s body swelled to nine feet tall, grasping his Long Spear to fiercely strike forward!
"Fiend, surrender!"
"General, you truly are..."
The Nine-tailed Fox slowly lifted her head, her smile like a blooming flower yet tinged with a chilling air: "refusing to drink the toast only to be forced to drink the punishment cup."
She seemed to want a swift conclusion, first raising her hand to release a parasol, the parasol scattered pink immortal light enveloping the entire stone hall, then a slender Longsword appeared in her hand, her form darted forward, elusive and eerie.
Both sides now exhibited their true prowess.
Niu Benben swung his spear, producing a storm of spear shadows, while the Nine-tailed Fox displayed her profound understanding of the Great Dao of Qiankun, unleashing enchanting Divine Skills.
For ordinary True Immortals, a Heavenly Immortal’s enchanting Divine Skill might cause them to harbor romantic thoughts, unable to focus;
The Nine-tailed Fox’s enchanting Divine Skill was even more formidable.
In a daze, Niu Benben saw a beautiful and pure girl, whispering something softly to him, it seemed they shared a romantic and warm past, a time by her side where he need not think of anything else, able to taste the most delicious immortal grass she personally picked for him.
