Chapter 1505 - 541: He Only Looks Harmless
Niu Benben’s offensive began to lose its sharpness.
Although he knew this was the opponent’s divine skills, he couldn’t control his wandering thoughts.
He seemed to have returned to Demon Bull Village;
Back then, Iron Bull hadn’t married another cow; he wasn’t the frustrated one who had gone far away, and Iron Bull seemed to be the woman standing before him.
He also thought of Hu Niang, who appeared to have washed away the filth, leaving only the gentleness that was revealed when deeply in love with him.
Niu Benben’s eyes brimmed with tears.
He cursed: "If you want to fight, just fight. Bringing up my sad past—what kind of skill is that..."
The Nine-tailed Fox’s voice whispered beside Niu Benben’s ear: "The general is a sentimental man indeed."
Niu Benben’s hair stood on end, unable to react in time, he received a solid palm strike on his back.
The Nine-tailed Fox didn’t deliver a fatal blow, possibly considering Niu Benben’s status and the heavenly punishment power of the long spear he held.
Even so, Niu Benben’s body flew out like a cannonball, his mana temporarily sealed, his body engulfed in pink immortal light against the stone wall, convulsing continuously.
The Luo Umbrella Treasure slowly rotated, its radiance protecting the area, absorbing the aftermath of the magical combat.
The Nine-tailed Fox sheathed her longsword, crossed her hands behind her back, and tilted her head to study Niu Benben’s silhouette.
Though she was deep in thought, she emitted an endearing, playful aura.
Then, the Nine-tailed Fox’s almond eyes swept across, coolly saying: "How has our Heavenly Fox clan fallen to such a state? Is this what your generation considers as reliance? Not even a Daluo Golden Immortal."
The elders of the Heavenly Fox clan exchanged glances.
"Enough, no clan member knows who I am anymore."
The Nine-tailed Fox sighed.
She stood there, somewhat bewildered, like waking from a long dream, as if she had missed the era that should’ve belonged to her, abandoned by the ancient heavens to the present.
"I’ve been sleeping... occasionally dreaming like I’ve lived a lifetime...
"I guess time has been too long, causing gaps in the seal, allowing a strand of my primordial spirit to drift out."
"Let’s just consider it a dream."
She sighed lightly, looking at the Heavenly Fox clan elders, calmly saying: "I shall depart from now on, consider that I never appeared; the present Heavenly Fox clan has little connection with me."
With these words spoken, she was about to turn away, but suddenly seemed to think of something, turning to look towards the silent corner...
Li Ping’an.
Her almond eyes flashed with a hint of golden light, she smiled: "Almost forgot, there’s a Heavenly Court officer here, not even of Golden Immortal cultivation—is this fellow his lackey?"
Li Ping’an’s brow furrowed, taking half a step back.
The Nine-tailed Fox laughed softly at this, hands behind her back, walking light steps, striding through the air towards him.
Her voice was coy:
"Little brother, although I’m tens of thousands of years old, most of the time I’ve been sealed asleep, my temperament is still quite immature.
"Would little brother be willing to take me out for a stroll? Help me understand the current world; otherwise, I might not know the rules now and easily get bullied."
"Just now you saw, I only lightly taught that foolish bull a lesson."
Li Ping’an leaned against the wall.
The Nine-tailed Fox lightly bit her lip, her slender hand like mutton-fat jade slowly rising, about to touch the chin beneath Li Ping’an’s disguise.
Suddenly!
Li Ping’an’s left hand swiftly raised.
His action was so quick, it nearly left no trace in the heavens and earth.
Before the Nine-tailed Fox’s gaze could show surprise, Li Ping’an’s left hand had already pressed against her slender neck.
The Nine-tailed Fox, an ancient fierce deity, instinctively reacted, pure spiritual power surged outward, but just as it was about to flow to her skin, all she saw was the sky spinning.
That large hand gripping her neck, violently slammed her onto the gold-glowing earth.
A reverberating sound echoed throughout the stone hall.
The gold-protected earth was as hard as the battle body of a mighty shaman, yet the Nine-tailed Fox’s graceful figure was embedded within.
Li Ping’an slowly rose from a crouch, his expression calmly indifferent, looking down at the beautiful lass, he coldly said:
"I hate you damned brats the most."
The Nine-tailed Fox trembled slightly, her large almond eyes filled with disbelief.
