Chapter 32: Cutting Off the Tail with One Sword
The inn was empty in a blink of an eye.
Feng Linger emerged from her sleeve, making a fox cry.
"Sir, she found me."
As she practiced the Secret Book of the Heavenly Fox for a long time, Feng Linger had already understood the method of soul transmission.
Zhou Yi nodded slightly: "I am indeed not as good as the nine-tailed fox in the way of magic. What do you think?"
Feng Linger was silent for a moment, shook her head, and didn't know how to answer.
With her growing intelligence, Feng Linger understood what a great opportunity it was to be with Zhou Yi. Otherwise, with her inferior qualifications as a half-human and half-demon, it would be difficult to even get started in cultivation.
"Your mother's death in the Demon Slaying Division was directly or indirectly related to me."
"The past is all gone, and everything must always look forward."
Zhou Yi stroked the fox's back and said slowly: "You also know my attitude towards the demon clan. I am unwilling to accept it and will not kill it indiscriminately. Instead of living by my side in my sleeve, you might as well take this opportunity to go to Qingqiu Blessed Land, and your cultivation will not be slow."
Feng Linger choked with sobs and clasped her paws and bowed.
"Ling'er will never forget your kindness, sir. If you call me in the future, I will definitely repay you with my life!"
Over the years, except for the soul bead given when the demon was slain, the man and the fox had almost no communication.
Feng Ling'er had long understood Zhou Yi's thoughts, and after reading the entire "On the Punisher", she had given up some thoughts.
Zhou Yi looked at Feng Ling'er bowing, his expression suddenly became serious, his eyes were as cold as ice, and the pressure that was there and not there reached the depths of his soul.
"When you go to Qingqiu in the future, you must remember that you have half human blood."
"Don't let me hear any bad rumors, otherwise, even if I am thousands of miles away, I will cleanse your sins and send you into reincarnation!"
Feng Ling'er was immediately awed and swore: "Sir, if Ling'er does evil, I will be torn apart by a chariot and burned by fire..."
"If swearing is useful, there won't be so many grudges and hatreds in the world."
Zhou Yi waved his hand to interrupt Feng Ling'er: "You just need to remember that with the cause and effect between you and me, as long as you do evil, you can't escape it in the end."
"Sir, Ling'er always remembers your teachings."
Feng Ling'er suddenly said softly: "If Ling'er is bullied, can you come to find you to complain?"
Zhou Yi was silent for a moment, and finally sighed.
"Yes."
Cats and dogs that have been raised for several years still have feelings, and it is reasonable to seek support from their parents when they are bullied.
Although Qingqiu Mountain is a blessed land for foxes, where there are living creatures there are grievances, where there are grievances there are factions, struggles and oppression, what is the difference between the human race and the demon race.
Feng Ling'er is half human and half fox, naturally weak, and will inevitably be bullied by her own race.
Zhou Yi doesn't like trouble, and added: "Unless it involves life and death, don't bother me with trivial matters."
Yo yo yo...
Feng Ling'er chirped happily, and her three snow-white tails swept back and forth.
...
Midnight.
The moonlight was cold.
Zhou Yi suddenly woke up from his deep sleep and turned into a light to fly out of the city.
"This stinky Taoist priest has a very sensitive nose!"
Hu Jiuying, who was peeping outside the window, snorted coldly and used the escape method to chase after him.
Hu Jiuying sensed the breath of the fox during the day and thought that Zhou Yi was enslaving the fox, so it was not easy to do it during the day, so he came to the inn to explore late at night.
Zhou Yi had expected it long ago, and the moment she appeared, he immediately fled out of the city.
The light of escape chased and fled, and in a moment they left Luojing, with Cuifeng Mountain in sight.
After leaving the capital, Hu Jiuying no longer had to hide his demonic aura, and nine fox tails fluttered behind him under the moon.
The secret escape method of the Heavenly Fox was used, and the speed instantly increased by several times, and it was about to catch up.
"Ox nose, see where you run!"
"Who said I'm going to run?"
Zhou Yi stopped the light of escape and spit out the Purple Ying Sword.
The Purple Ying Sword swelled in the wind, turning into a purple sword light a hundred feet long, slashing across the sky.
Hu Jiuying only felt that the world in front of him was only purple sword energy in an instant.
The demon soul trembled, and the warning signs were rising.
Li——
With a sharp whistle, nine fox tails stretched out, like nine jade pillars that supported the sky and smashed towards Zhou Yi.
Tear!
The sword light passed, and Hu Jiuying had no way to avoid it, and one fox tail had already broken.
"Damn it!"
Hu Jiuying's figure changed from a little girl to a giant fox of a hundred feet long. Eight fox tails swept horizontally and vertically to block Zhou Yi's way, and opened her mouth to spit out blazing divine light.
"Nine-tailed fox, nothing more than that!"
Zhou Yi poured his magic power into the Ziying Sword, and the sword light surged. He went up against the divine light and cut a wound of more than ten feet long on the giant fox.
The magic power of ten thousand years gathered above his head, turning into a giant hand of magic power that held up the sky. He grabbed the three fox tails and swung them into a circle and threw them to the ground.
Boom!
The giant fox had no power to resist, screamed, and smashed a deep pit in the mountains.
The Ziying Sword fell from the sky, pointing directly at the giant fox's head.
"Ancestor, save me!"
A tuft of silver-white fox hair fell from the back of the giant fox's neck, and it turned into a middle-aged beautiful woman out of thin air.
The beautiful woman pointed in the air, and the vitality of heaven and earth gathered at her fingertips, turning into a ball of light and blasting towards the Ziying Sword.
Clang——
The Purple Ying Sword flew back and fell into Zhou Yi's hands.
"Qingqiu Fox Fairy?!"
The lifeless eyes of the beautiful woman slowly changed a little, and she looked at Zhou Yi: "It is me, I never thought that there is such a Taoist friend in Dagan?"
"A mere Qi Refiner cannot compare to the reputation of the Fox Fairy."
When Zhou Yi spoke, the magic power of ten thousand years was infused into the Purple Ying Sword, the sword tip rang lightly, and the purple light was fluctuating, ready to compete with the Qingqiu Fox Fairy at any time.
"Qi Refiner! It's a name I haven't heard for a long time..."
The Fox Fairy seemed to be slow to react, and slowly looked at the Purple Ying Sword, with a look of surprise in his eyes: "What a fairy sword!"
Before he finished speaking, the vitality of heaven and earth fluctuated again. Hundreds of miles of vitality converged at one point, turning into silver-white divine light that swept over the sky and covered the sky.
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows. The fox demon was really cunning and unpredictable. He would take action as soon as he was told. Fortunately, he was also prepared.
The Purple Ying Sword rises into the sky, its purple sword light covering the clouds and the moon.
The Baili sky is divided into two colors, half is silver-white divine light, and half is purple sword energy.
At the junction in the middle, thunderous crackling sounds were heard one after another, silvery purple light spots fell on the ground, mountain peaks collapsed, and earth veins collapsed.
After this confrontation, Zhou Yi felt relieved.
Thousands of years of mana has been added to it, and it is exactly the same as Qingqiu Fox Fairy's ability to summon the vitality of a hundred miles around.
Fox fairies take advantage of the power of heaven and earth to create an endless stream.
Zhou Yi uses his own magic power to do whatever he wants.
The Fox Fairy is just a wisp of fox fur incarnate, and it can only take a moment to compete with the magic power, and the figure gradually becomes transparent and empty.
"My Taoist friend's wonderful method is magnificent, but I feel inferior to you."
The Fox Fairy waved his hand to withdraw the divine light and asked: "I am confused, why do you want to embarrass my junior Hu Yue?"
"Empress, was he the one who killed Hu Yue?"
Hu Jiuying had barely recovered from her injuries at this time, but unfortunately the broken ninth tail could not be restored. The sword energy was like a tarsal maggot, so she could only return to Qingqiu to ask the empress for treatment.
Zhou Yi's heart sank, and he carefully sensed his body, and sure enough, he found a trace of spell aura on his right shoulder, which was obviously left by Hu Yue.
Hu Yue didn't know that Zhou Yi could break the spell, so to be safe, he cast another layer.
This heavy spell is usually hidden, and only the Fox Fairy can recognize it in person. It is so vicious.
Zhou Yi's magic power rolled by, the spells disappeared, and he replied in a cold voice: "The demon tribe absorbs the yang energy of the human race to practice, so it should be killed! Hu Yue relies on some background to charm the human race, and the disaster of death is his own fault!"
"Then why did you let Jiu Ying go last night?"
"I'm not a nanny. I'm in charge of evil demons. Revenge has nothing to do with me."
Zhou Yi once had the urge to take action, but suddenly he thought, if he saved Princess Huai today, he would save someone else tomorrow.
If this continues, there will be no peace every day.
The Fox Fairy obviously didn't understand what the nanny meant. After thinking for a moment, he could probably guess it.
“I haven’t seen such an interesting fellow Taoist in how many years!”
The figure of the Fox Fairy was almost gone and he said, "In this case, Jiuying is out of Qingqiu Mountain for the first time and has never done anything harmful to the human race. Can I be spared?"
Zhou Yi looked at Hu Jiuying and was so frightened that she quickly shrank behind the Fox Fairy.
"Yes! Leave the human race as soon as possible to avoid trouble."
"Jiu Ying has not yet thanked me for sparing my life."
When the Fox Fairy disappeared, he suddenly said: "The Great Qian's energy is almost exhausted, and it is better to leave as soon as possible in the face of a great calamity. You and I are outsiders. We just sit back and watch the rise and fall of the dynasty, so why bother to wade into troubled waters."
"When you are trapped in the quagmire of cause and effect, and it is difficult to move forward, how can you still find freedom..."
Zhou Yi frowned slightly. He had been living in the Demon Slayer Division and had never left Kyoto. It could be said that he was ignorant.
The figure of the fox fairy disappeared, and Hu Jiuying transformed into a little girl again, timidly stepping forward and bowing to salute.
"Thank you, senior, for disregarding past grudges."
Zhou asked: "Without the fox fairy hair, can I hide my evil spirit and enter Kyoto?"
Hu Jiuying touched the back of her head with a defensive look on her face: "Your Majesty gave me three strands of hair, and I can call her for help three times."
"You little brat, you think a lot!"
"Auntie... this junior is already over a thousand years old."
Then the two streams of light returned to the capital.
