022 War of Nine Tails

  The sky suddenly changed! A strong wind rose, and ghosts and monsters emerged, with a fierce and evil aura! Three figures floated in from the black smoke. After Yang Jiaolong saw the three figures clearly, he felt extremely disappointed. He and Lao Dao had just set up their plan when they were discovered by these three demons. Lao Dao also jumped out from within.

  Holding an octagonal fan, a layer of green light floated up all over his body.

  "You old Daoist are so bold, dare to intrude into our Xuan Yuan Tomb, are you tired of living?" The pheasant spirit took a step forward, her shrill cry startling the surroundings.

  The old Taoist burst out laughing and said, "You demons, instead of cultivating properly here, you're going down to the mortal world to capture people! You're harming innocent civilians. I advise you to stop this wickedness and focus on your cultivation. Otherwise, I will definitely ruin your cultivation!"

  Yang Jian's heart chilled and he said in a low voice to the old Taoist: "Taoist priest, speaking like this will provoke them!"

  Indeed, the pheasant spirit glared at the old Taoist, coldly saying: "You this Taoist priest, your words are presumptuous! Today I will let you be buried in the Xuanyuan Tomb." As soon as her voice fell, she rushed out, her right hand drawing a circle in mid-air, and a black aura appeared, transforming into a shining precious sword! The sword was like a roaming snake.

  With a rustling sound, he stabbed at the old Taoist! The sword had not yet arrived when a gust of dark wind like a curved knife blew his Taoist robe up! The old Taoist twisted his palm, and the Bagua fan floated in mid-air spinning, with flashes of golden light. The old Taoist let out an angry roar! "Whoosh" - the Bagua fan transformed into a golden sword that could behead immortals!

  The old Taoist grasped the Immortal Slashing Sword, and the precious sword of the Pheasant Spirit also came with it! "Ding" The two swords collided, and the golden light and black air intertwined together. The old Taoist's Immortal Slashing Sword was a divine weapon of the immortal family! "Ding ding" A few sounds later, the golden light absorbed the black air, and the Pheasant Spirit's precious sword shattered into seven or eight pieces.

  The old Taoist received and advanced, sending three palms in a row! "Pa pa pa" The palm momentum was like a fierce tiger coming down the mountain. The peacock's exquisite sword was destroyed, and he had already withdrawn his move. "Hong!" The old Taoist's three palms hit a grave, and the grave suddenly flew with flying stones and shaking leaves! Yang Jiaolong was shocked, looking at the old Taoist holding the beheading immortal sword.

  With an aura that was awe-inspiring, this was merely a matter of not seeing him for several days, how could his cultivation have advanced to such an extent? Compared to the last time he had exhausted his vital energy, it was like heaven and earth apart.

  Pipa Jing rushed forward and caught the Pheasant Spirit, asking: "Sister, are you alright?"

  The pheasant spirit shook its head, releasing the pipa spirit's hand, and stared at the old Taoist saying: "This Taoist priest has some cultivation, I wonder which mountain's Taoist are you?"

  She had a lingering fear, if this Taoist priest was an immortal from the famous mountain, their fate would be sealed. They should first investigate and then make plans!

  The old man said: "You demon, I cultivate in what mountain! You don't need to know, as long as you release the mortal in the cave now, I will spare your lives today."

  The pheasant narrowed her eyes, seeing the old Dao's haughty and disdainful attitude, her anger burning even more fiercely! She was about to make another move when the nine-tailed fox beside her stretched out a hand to stop her. With a calm smile, he signaled for her not to act yet.

  The nine-tailed fox took a step forward, her eyes flowing with emotion as she gazed directly at Yang Jian. Yang Jian felt inexplicably guilty and shifted his gaze away, unwilling to meet hers. The nine-tailed fox's sincerity was met with Yang Jian's deception, causing her heart to ache beyond words.

  Yang Jian didn't know that the Nine-Tailed Fox had harmed people before! However, he was familiar with the legend. Although the Nine-Tailed Fox had been cursed for a thousand years, there were forgivable parts to it! She had caused chaos in the imperial court, but she had done so under the orders of Nüwa Niangniang. How could these demons dare not follow her divine decree?

  In the end, Nuwa patted her buttocks and turned her face to deny any responsibility, leaving the nine-tailed fox to bear the blame! At this time, although he had captured Yang Xiang as a bargaining chip to coerce himself, until now she had not harmed him in the slightest. He treated her as his partner in acting, and at this moment, the nine-tailed fox was just a girl who dared to express her love for him.

  This led to a strong sense of guilt in his heart!

  The nine-tailed fox spoke in a gentle voice: "Yang Jia, can you come forward and answer a few questions for me?"

  Yang Jian stepped forward, looking at her and said calmly: "Speak up, whatever you want to ask or know, I will definitely tell the truth without reservation, concealment or deception!"

  "Very well, it seems you're still as frank as ever. Now I'll ask you, is the three-day deadline you mentioned a stalling tactic? In fact, do you really have no intention of practicing dual cultivation with me?"

  The nine-tailed fox gazed at Yang Jian's eyes with a watery gaze, and his eyes revealed a strange emotion, as if expecting, worrying, and calm!

  "Right!" Yang Jiaolong did not need to hide, and the words in his heart were truly spoken bluntly. If he was deceiving one of these two monsters, the monster could still speak the truth, but he was deceiving. Wouldn't that make him even worse than a monster?

  The nine-tailed fox still had an enchanting smile on her face, with a hint of bitterness in it. She looked at Yang Jian and said: "So all those words you said were deceiving me?"

  Yang Jian suddenly felt like a "sinner", he was asked by a monster and was speechless, to be exact, he had no face to meet.

  Yang Jian looked at her and said seriously, "Yes, I was deceiving you!" He could have said that he had to lie in order to save his own brother. But he didn't say it, because he knew that when a woman finds out that a man has lied, she doesn't need any reason and won't listen to any excuse.

  The nine-tailed fox suddenly burst out laughing, her radiant smile disappearing in an instant, just like the scorching sun being covered by dark clouds! Those beautiful eyes turned into a ghastly green, staring at Yang Jia as she continued to laugh uncontrollably, but this laughter sent shivers down one's spine.

  Yang Jian hastily said: "If you are angry and want to vent your anger, you can come at me alone. Please spare my elder brother."

  The nine-tailed fox's smile remains! Yang Jian's words seem to have fallen on deaf ears. The vertical hair at her waist is blown into a mess by the surrounding dark wind! And her body is also slowly undergoing changes.

  The pheasant spirit and pipa spirit hastily retreated to the side. They didn't stop until they were two or three zhang away, whereupon the pipa spirit looked at the nine-tailed fox with a somewhat ferocious expression.

  Her face was filled with fear. She said to the pheasant spirit beside her, "Sister, I've never seen Fox Sister so angry before."

  "Pheasant Essence sneered coldly: 'They deceived our sister, now our sister will reveal her true form and take care of them.'"

  The nine-tailed fox's feet rose with a burst of white smoke, the rolling white smoke looked exceptionally eerie in the dark clouds! The wind grew stronger, and the sky seemed to be returning to chaos. The suffocating pressure made Yang Jian breathe uneasily, the wind was like an ice knife, cutting his face painfully. He himself couldn't resist, could only grit his teeth and hold on.

  This is also a punishment for his lies! Suddenly, a strange cry came from the white smoke, the cry was sharp and piercing, more like an icy sword stabbing into his throat! The strong wind howled, branches swayed, leaves flew everywhere, dust filled the sky.

  "Be careful!"

  A white light shot out from the white smoke, like a thunderbolt. The old Daoist suddenly shouted and danced with his sword to block Yang Jia's face. With a long sword, he concentrated his energy and opened up the white light. The powerful recoil force shook the old Daoist back several steps, colliding with Yang Jia's body.

  Yang Jian's feet were unstable, and he fell heavily to the ground! Looking ahead, the white smoke had disappeared without knowing when, but in front of them was a white fox over one zhang tall, as white as ice and snow, perfect and flawless! The fur was more than a foot long, swaying with the gentle breeze! And the fox's pupils were emerald green.

  Staring at them, a chill rose involuntarily from behind! And the white light of the previous attack, the White Fox's tail was swaying in mid-air, and as the white light dissipated, it revealed a long white tail several meters long!

  That tail slowly moved, Yang Jian rubbed his eyes and suddenly found that a tail split into nine tails!

  Nine-tailed fox! It's really a nine-tailed fox! Yang Jiaolong climbed up and said to the old Taoist, "Taoist priest, it seems she has really gotten angry. Are you her match?"

  The old man stared at the nine-tailed fox with both eyes, saying lightly: "What's the point of saying these now? She has transformed into her true form, revealing her beastly nature, and is about to devour us. Whether we can win or not, we must fight!"

  The nine-tailed fox danced with its nine tails, the nine tails resembling nine long whips, striking towards the old Daoist. The old Daoist shook his hand holding the Zhanxian Sword and shouted: "You demon, do not be so arrogant!" His body transformed into a golden light, directly charging forward to meet it.

  Nine tails converged into a ball, with the white light on top growing even more luxuriant! Swinging like a dragon, the old Dao's sword aura was like a rainbow, moving between the nine tails, each strike sending shockwaves through the air. Yang Jian watched from the side, his heart racing with excitement, this great battle between humans and demons he had seen before, but the thrill of it all was impossible to conceal.

  The old Daoist's sword moved as swiftly as a flying arrow, seemingly aged but with speed as fast as lightning. The nine-tailed fox had nine tails, each one condensed with powerful magical power. If any of them were to whip against his body, it would be disastrous! The nine tails flapped and struck out, the old Daoist dodged through the gaps, avoiding all of them.

  She locked onto the Nine-Tailed Fox's head at a glance! In her mind, she was certain that as long as she struck the Nine-Tailed Fox's head with one sword, it would undoubtedly be fatal. Yang Jiaolong also saw through the old Daoist's tactics! In his heart, he secretly added fuel to the fire, and in the space between his eyebrows, he saw the Pipa Jing and the Pheasant Jing standing far away, watching this battle.

  But the two of them were chatting and laughing, without worrying about the nine-tailed fox at all!

  Suddenly, a mournful cry echoed in his ears! Yang Jian abruptly turned his head and saw that the old Taoist had been wrapped around his body by a tail, and the sword of beheading immortals in his hand also fell off, falling onto a grave and stabbing directly into it!

  Just as the old Daoist was about to strike the nine-tailed fox's head, the nine-tailed fox opened its mouth and shot out a myriad of silver lights. The old Daoist suddenly encountered a change in circumstances and hastily waved his sword to deflect the silver lights! At this moment, one of the tails took advantage of the situation and wrapped itself around him, like a giant python wrapping around his body, directly constricting his entire skeleton to make cracking sounds.

  The sword in his hand also couldn't be grasped steadily and fell to the ground!

  "Stop!" Yang Jiaolong shouted, rushing forward and yelling loudly: "Don't hurt him! Don't hurt him." But the nine-tailed fox had already transformed into its true form, a beastly body, and wouldn't listen to Yang Jiaolong's words.

  At this moment, Yang Jian saw him running over and swung his other tail directly at Yang Jian. Yang Jian's legs suddenly stopped, looking at the giant python-like tail that was hitting towards himself, and he was at a loss for what to do!
