Chapter 1726 - 1722: Cunning and Far-Sighted
"Your mother not only failed but was utterly foolish. She thought her own death would ease relations between the Qingqiu Fox Clan and the various sects of the Three Realms. And now? Because of her demise, the Qingqiu Fox Clan has irreversibly become mortal enemies with the sects. She truly died for nothing—it’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone so foolish!" Shen Luo gazed at Tu Shanxue and sighed inwardly but continued to sneer coldly.
"Shut up!" Tu Shanxue’s eyes surged with bloodlight, her fists clenched tightly, her body trembling uncontrollably, seemingly on the brink of collapse.
"Not just your mother—you’re no different. You’re destined to be a failure too! The Qingqiu Fox Clan is fated to be exterminated here today!" Shen Luo burst into laughter.
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! It’s all because of you human cultivators—today you’ll all die!" Tu Shanxue’s eyes erupted with a fierce bloodlight as the flames of hatred in her heart finally exploded, and her expression took on a manic intensity.
Behind her, a brilliant bloodlight flared, and nine blood-red fox tails suddenly emerged. Each tail was surrounded by an ominous bloodlight, and they attacked Shen Luo with an unstoppable force.
Seeing this, Shen Luo was secretly pleased; he had vaguely discerned Tu Shanxue’s external strength concealing inner weakness—strong in Qi but frail in spirit. Intentionally provoking her with those words earlier and employing the confusion spell from the Ghost Eye of the Netherworld was all to ignite her anger and ensure she stayed in this place.
Tu Shanxue’s strength was overwhelming—apart from him, no one present could possibly contend with her.
In Shen Luo’s hands, the Profound Yellow Staff erupted with radiant light, and he fully unleashed the Splashy Chaotic Stick. Countless golden-black staff shadows materialized once more, colliding forcefully with Tu Shanxue’s fox tails.
The sound of earth-shattering explosions rang out, as the two locked in fierce combat. Violent gales howled through the void, accompanied by deafening roars.
While Tu Shanxue’s strength was superior to Shen Luo’s, her physical body was not particularly resilient, making their battle appear unexpectedly evenly matched.
