A Demon’s Path

Niu Dazhuang took a serious look at Ling Xiao and Nangong Yurong, but shook his head: "Looking at you, you should be the son and maid of a wealthy family. You should not participate in such dangerous things. Your lives are not as cheap as ours."

When Niu Dazhuang said this, Nangong Yurong blushed, and was about to refute a few words, but was stopped by Ling Xiao: "Brother Niu, then we will wait for you here, you go early and return early."

It was Ling Xiao who said he was going, and it was Ling Xiao who said he couldn't. Nangong Yurong gave Ling Xiao a surprised look. When he saw Ling Xiao's sly eyes, Nangong Yurong immediately understood, and nodded towards Niu Dazhuang: "Well, I wish Brother Niu good luck."

Niu Dazhuang said with a hearty smile: "This time we met the four of you, I believe our luck has come. With your good words, this time we will definitely succeed, haha!"

Watching Niu Dazhuang and his group walk away from the branch road on the left and disappear in front of Ling Xiao and the others, a smile appeared on Ling Xiao's face: "Let's go too."

Niu Dazhuang and his party walked for more than half an hour, before they came to a small hole that could only accommodate one person to climb in, and carefully surrounded the small hole.

Afterwards, Niu Dazhuang piled up a large pile of firewood at the entrance of the cave, sprinkled some medicinal powder on the firewood, and lit the fire.

The flames whizzed up, and the choking green smoke billowed up. Niu Dazhuang and the other mercenaries used their soul power to blow the smoke, letting the pungent smoke go into the hole.

Niu Dazhuang ordered in a deep voice: "Everyone be careful, that thing is about to come out!"

"Yes, boss!" Hearing Niu Dazhuang's order, everyone immediately responded in a low voice.

But everyone waited for more than ten minutes, and the hateful thing still didn't appear. A trace of doubt arose in everyone's mind: Could it be that this thing is not here and has escaped again?

Just when everyone's attention was not so concentrated, a fiery red shadow emerged from the green smoke with a swipe, and quickly rushed out of Niu Dazhuang's encirclement.

"Want to escape!? No way!" Niu Dazhuang grimaced, threw his right hand forward, and threw out a piece of talisman paper, which turned into a blue net and fell from the sky.

The fiery red shadow was caught by the blue net and forced to the ground, stopping its escape.

All the mercenaries immediately surrounded the fiery red shadow, but no one came within thirty steps of it.

The fiery red shadow caught in the net turned out to be a firefox.

Sharp claws, a sharp beak, a pair of straight dog ears, and a pair of human eyes staring fiercely at Niu Dazhuang and other mercenaries.

Look at the fire fox's tail, there are seven of them. Blue-level demon beast——Seven-tailed Firefox!

"If you don't let me go again, I promise you will regret it!" the fox threatened viciously, uttering words. That voice was that of a standard handsome man.

If it was the first time for the people to see the vision of such a beast uttering human words, they would be shocked. It's just that they have been chasing this seven-tailed Firefox for five full years, and they have already seen it.

"No matter what I say this time, I won't let you escape again!" Niu Dazhuang's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his hands were clenched tightly into fists.

"If that's the case, then I'll fight with you this time! Awwhhhh!" The seven-tailed firefox yelled a few times, and with a bang, its body grew rapidly, and it slammed the blue light net. Burst!

"Do it!" Niu Dazhuang yelled, and the twenty mercenaries started at the same time, and clusters of blue and green soul power blasted towards the seven-tailed Firefox.

"Aw!" The seven-tailed Firefox roared again, and its seven huge tails stretched out like umbrellas, wrapping its body tightly inside.

Puff puff... The soul power hit the tail of the seven-tailed firefox, just like water hitting a solid wall. It had no effect except to stir up a little splash.

"Today, I worked hard at the Qing level, and I will slap you pesky flies to death! Oh! Firefox Tianwei!" Seven-tailed Firefox let out a wild howl, and swung its umbrella-like tail away. It turned into countless blue fox tail shadows, and smashed towards the mercenaries.

"Damn it!" Niu Dazhuang's face changed wildly, and he shouted: "Everyone be careful!"

In fact, Niu Dazhuang didn't need to remind him, these mercenaries had been with him for many years, so they naturally knew how to deal with this situation.

It's just that Niu Dazhuang cared too much about his brother, so he couldn't help but remind him.

Bang, bang, bang... A series of sounds of tail shadows hitting the armor sounded, and more than twenty mercenaries, including Niu Dazhuang, were knocked out by those tail shadows, and all of them vomited blood. It was like being smashed to pieces, and there was nothing he could do to stand up.

Twenty mercenaries were blown away with one blow, and the seven-tailed firefox was obviously seriously injured. It took a long time to catch his breath before recovering, and slowly walked towards Niu Dazhuang step by step.

Its human eyes looked at Niu Dazhuang mockingly, and said: "You vulgar man, I just raped a most ordinary human woman, you madman actually chased after you for the commission of ten red crystals I am five years! Ouch!"

Speaking of the excitement, the seven-tailed Firefox let out another long cry, expressing his anger at this person.

Niu Dazhuang didn't say anything, he held his hand tightly, waiting for the Firefox to get closer, so that he could use his last trump card to kill the vicious Firefox.

Suddenly, the Firefox grinned and stopped: "You don't have to think about killing me with a piercing nail anymore. If I don't walk over, you won't be able to kill me."

Niu Dazhuang's calm expression finally turned into astonishment, and he lost his voice: "How do you know?"

The seven-tailed firefox joked and said: "Don't you know what the firefox family of our monster family is best at? Female foxes are good at charming people's hearts, while male foxes are good at reading people's hearts. I know exactly what you are thinking, and that's why I can escape many times. The reason for your siege."

Niu Dazhuang was about to burst into tears, and roared: "I will fight with you!"

"Hee hee!" The seven-tailed Firefox stepped back, and Niu Dazhuang only struggled a few times before he could no longer move.

His injuries were too severe.

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you low-level humans. I will kill you. I will return to our Firefox family and practice again!" The fire fox's eyes revealed a fierce light, and he straightened his body, stood up like a human being, and raised his head. Pair of sharp claws.

Niu Dazhuang closed his eyes: "That's it, that's it, I'm incompetent, I hurt my brothers..."

"Aren't you good at reading people's hearts? Then look, what am I thinking?" A voice suddenly sounded behind Seven-Tails Firefox, Seven-tails Firefox was startled, and immediately turned around.

A smiling young man was looking at him with no other expression.

Seven-tailed Firefox was very surprised. He didn't expect that the other party only had an orange-level cultivation base, and he was able to get close to him by a distance of about a hundred steps without making a sound.

Beasts have a far stronger intuition for danger than humans, and the blue-ranked seven-tailed Firefox doesn't think that such an orange-ranked chain soul master who suddenly appeared is out to die. He is so calm, he must have his trump card.

"Are you thinking that I have some ultimate move, so you didn't rush over immediately?" The young man said with a chuckle, "That's all the scheming of the cunning fox."

This young man is naturally Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao explained the thoughts of the Seven-tailed Firefox, and the Seven-tailed Firefox didn't think there was anything particularly strange: "Hmph, this is the natural feeling of a fox, as long as it is not a brainless fox, it will think so. If you have the ability, you Just come and kill me, why do you still need to talk nonsense with me like this?"

Ling Xiao shook his head, and repeatedly denied: "No, no, I don't like fighting and killing. Besides, can I beat you with an orange level? It's the same sentence, if you can see through my Heart, you can kill or cut whatever you want. Of course, I can warn you in advance, if you can't see through my heart, your demon soul will collapse, I wonder if you have the guts?"

The seven-tailed Firefox's fox eyes rolled quickly, as if a cunning child was studying how to lie to his parents.

The more the other party confessed, the more uncertain the fox was. It was not right to kill him directly, or to follow the other party's words, which made the seven-tailed Firefox dizzy for a while.

"Hmph! Seeing people's hearts is the talent of my firefox family. I'm afraid that I, a blue-level human, can't compare with an orange-level human like you?" The seven-tailed firefox gave Ling Xiao a vicious look, and said, "You are playing hard to get, deliberately Say it directly, make me suspicious, and then don't read your mind, so that I don't know what you are thinking? Let me tell you, I have seen through your tricks!"

Ling Xiao pretended to be slightly startled, the expression was extremely subtle, if it wasn't for Firefox who was staring at Ling Xiao all the time, no one else would really be able to see it.

"If you have the ability, come here!" The panic expression was only fleeting, and Ling Xiao immediately changed into a very indifferent look.

The seven-tailed Firefox sneered, and he felt that he had already seen through the person in front of him without using any natural abilities.

"Since you demand so strongly, then I will let you die with conviction!" A blue light flashed on the top of Seven-Tailed Firefox's head, and his powerful mental power radiated along with the blue light, directly hitting Ling Xiao's head.

Ling Xiao smiled slightly, and that sly smile was immediately captured by the seven-tailed Firefox. Seven-tailed Firefox knew something was wrong, but unfortunately, it was still too late.

The spiritual power of the Seven-tailed Firefox penetrated into Ling Xiao's mind. In an instant, the memories of countless souls on the Yaotian Continent frantically flocked to the spiritual power of the Seven-tailed Firefox.

Like a stomach that has eaten too much at once, the spiritual power of the seven-tailed Firefox was poured by these souls, and it swelled instantly.

"Ah-ah!" The seven-tailed Firefox rolled on the ground with its claws tightly hugging its head, and the painful howl was endlessly heard by everyone.

"Damn it! It hurts, it hurts!" The seven-tailed Firefox's claws holding his head were no longer effective, and then he began to tear the fur on his head with his claws, tearing blood dripping.

The intense physical pain only diverted the attention of the seven-tailed firefox a little, and not long after, the severe headache surged up again.

"Ah!" Seven-tailed Firefox could no longer control his thoughts and became crazy.

This hateful head hurts me so much, I want to blow it up, I want to blow it up!

The two claws of the Seven-Tailed Firefox slapped itself on the head at the same time, and with a smack, it was like a watermelon falling to the ground, and the fox's head burst open.

Afterwards, the body of the firefox stopped moving and was already dead.

Without further ado, Ling Xiao collected the remnant soul of the fire fox into his spirit token. The soul of such a gifted demon clan can be used to refine magic weapons.

Ling Xiao already has a high-level forging master Zou Tiezhu, as long as he has good materials, he can let the other party create high-level and powerful magic weapons for him.

Originally, the seven tails of this seven-tailed Firefox corpse could also be used to refine magic weapons, but Ling Xiao still decided to bear the pain and give up. Ling Xiao had heard the conversation between Niu Dazhuang and the Seven-tailed Firefox just now, and he admired Niu Dazhuang's personality.

This corpse should be reserved for Niu Dazhuang to complete the task with only ten red crystals.
