Chapter 108 Killing the Fox Demon
Before the camellia tree had even grown to maturity after falling to the ground, the fox demon's other tail lashed out at Shen Youqing.

"Click——"

The double-petaled red camellia suddenly burst open, its heart splitting open, and with one bite it gnawed off half of a fox's tail, then it turned its head and spat it out.

bah bah bah!
It stinks!

A sharp, piercing scream echoed through the mountains and forests.

Jiang Chenying and the other three people in Qiuzi Village all heard the scream.

The four fellow disciples exchanged glances.

It seems the three people at the Fox Fairy Temple have already encountered a fox demon and are fighting with it.

Judging from the commotion, the fox demon must have been at a disadvantage.

Enraged by the camellia's bite that had gnawed a piece of its tail, the fox demon charged at Shen Youqing like a madman.

Xie Changyan leaped up and slashed at him with his sword.

Xiao Youqi used his spiritual power to condense a fire dragon, which quickly rushed to intercept the fox demon.

Shen Youqing raised his hand and waved, sending several Heavenly Thunder Talismans flying out to form a talisman array. As soon as the array was activated, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky.

"Boom——"

A thunderclap in a clear sky, and thunderclouds instantly gather in the cloudless sky.

Xie Changyan glanced at the lightning array, looked around, and then quickly retreated to the left and rear.

"boom--"

A bolt of lightning as thick as a baby's wrist struck down with lightning speed, instantly turning the grayish-brown fox fur black.

A burnt aroma wafted out.

The fox demon let out a miserable cry, dodging a bolt of lightning in a sorry state before turning to run into the deep forest.

Xie Changyan, who had retreated to the side, saw the fox demon fleeing in their direction and charged forward with his sword.

Xiao Youqi assisted from the side, and the two of them blocked the fox demon's retreat.

There was no escaping it, but the lightning continued to strike.

Shen Youqing was not idle at Erjie Peak; she had accumulated quite a few talismans.

Although they are all low-level talismans, they are numerous.

Seeing that the lightning-summoning array was about to end, Shen Youqing took out several more lightning talismans to set up the array.

Thunder rumbled continuously from the back mountain, causing widespread panic among the villagers of Qiuzi Village.

"A lightning-summoning array?" Chi Guyuan looked at the thunderclouds gathering on the back mountain, his indifferent tone revealing his appreciation. "Great progress."

Putting aside his eccentric and unruly temperament, Shen Youqing is a very good mentor.

“Demons and evil spirits fear heavenly lightning the most.” Jing Liang looked at the back mountain where heavenly lightning was constantly striking, and seemed to be deep in thought. “That fox demon probably can’t escape now.”

Chi Guyuan nodded.

Village Chief Zhang, who was not far away, looked at the thunderclouds on the back mountain, his heart filled with unease. He glanced at the cultivators with a cryptic look in his eyes.

They probably won't notice anything...

-

After being struck by two lightning bolts, the fox demon was charred black and on the verge of death.

"My lords, please spare me!"

Her weak voice was charming, melodious, and full of pleading, making one's bones melt.

As soon as she finished speaking, the charred fox demon transformed into a graceful and beautiful woman, her tattered clothes hanging on her curvaceous body, exuding an alluring aura.

Her captivatingly beautiful eyes gazed at Xie Changyan and Xiao Youqi.

The beautiful woman in distress was truly pitiful and tragic; her pitiful appearance made one want to take good care of her.

Unfortunately, none of these men were the type to show mercy to women.

Xie Changyan remained unmoved as he raised his longsword, but before he could make a move, a "whoosh" sound was heard.

The roots that sprouted from the ground pierced the beautiful woman's body, leaving it riddled with holes and blood splattering everywhere.

After its roots retracted, its sieve-like body collapsed on the ground and soon transformed back into its fox form.

"Is that all?" Xiao Youqi looked at the tattered fox demon corpse, feeling that something was amiss. Before coming, Elder Meng had warned him that the mission was dangerous and that he should proceed with caution.

This is too simple, so simple it's almost unsettling.

"It should be more than that." Xie Changyan looked around and then at the pile of ruins.

Seeing that the camellia tree was swaying and had no intention of gnawing on the fox demon's corpse, Shen Youqing took out a binding talisman and set up an array.

Before long, the binding array that had been set up disappeared underground.

"Do you think evil spirits will return?" Xiao Youqi flicked his finger, and a cluster of flames landed on the fox demon's corpse, burning it.

Shen Youqing responded.

Just to be on the safe side, Shen Youqing set up three or five more binding arrays, as if talismans were free.

"I want to dig through this pile of rubble." Xie Changyan's cold voice rang out. Seeing Shen Youqing and Xiao You looking over at the same time, he said, "I want to see what that stone statue looks like."

Shen Youqing leaped out of the ruins and said to the camellia tree, "Let's get to work."

After Xie Changyan and Xiao Youqi left the pile of ruins, the dense root system broke through the soil and the bricks, tiles, beams and pillars were wrapped up by the root system and thrown aside.

There were many stones on the cleared ground.

Without the three of them lifting a finger, the roots skillfully pieced the stones together, and a shattered fox statue appeared before them.

"Does it look like it?" Shen Youqing crossed her arms.

Xie Changyan shook his head. "It doesn't resemble the previous fox demon much."

It seems there are quite a few fox spirits here.

“That fox demon was probably sent to test us,” Xiao Youqi said, then asked, “How so?”

Xie Changyan lowered his eyes slightly and began to ponder.

"What do you mean, how do you say it?" Shen Youqing turned his head to look, his face full of confusion.

Xiao Youqi decided to be blunt: "Should we investigate the fox demon's whereabouts or return to Qiuzi Village?"

Given the current situation, there is likely an even more dangerous fox demon lurking in the mountains.

Shen Youqing looked at Xiao Youqi with a strange expression, "Aren't you going to kill the fox demon and then go back to kill people?"

Since we're already here, why not kill all the fox demons?
"..." Xiao Youqi took out a palm-sized compass, and then magically produced a tuft of grayish-brown fox fur and placed it on it.

After the spiritual energy was infused, the pointer on the compass began to spin.

“Stay here and we’ll be right back,” Shen Youqing said to the camellia tree.

The double-petaled red camellia swayed back and forth, as if nodding.

Xie Changyan and Shen Youqing followed Xiao Youqi into the nearby forest.

Remembering Xiao Er's instructions, Xiao Youqi asked Shen Youqing, "It might be very dangerous next. Can you protect yourself?"

"I wouldn't dare say I can help you, but I definitely won't hold you back." The cool voice was calm and confident.

Xiao Youqi didn't say anything and focused on leading the way.

The deeper you go into the mountains and forests, the quieter it becomes.

Shen Youqing thought for a moment, then took out a porcelain bottle and said, "Let's take some Grade 5 antidote pills first, just in case."

As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled out the stopper, poured out three pills, and handed them over.

After Xiao Youqi and Xie Changyan each took one, Shen Youqing put the remaining one into her mouth.

Fox spirits are skilled at bewitching people; who knows if they might concoct aphrodisiacs or other poisons? Just to be on the safe side, take an antidote first.

Xiao Youqi led the two deeper into the mountains and forests for about 35 minutes.

As the compass needle began to sway, Xiao Youqi's eyes sharpened. "They're here."

Xie Changyan swung his longsword, colliding with the fox's tail that darted out from the forest.

The bright red fox fur was extremely shiny and beautiful.

Xiao Youqi put away the compass, raised his hand and made a hand seal, and the fire snake quickly shot out.

"How rude! You almost burned my fox fur!" A coquettish female voice rang out, followed by rustling sounds.

A moment later, a woman wearing a red gauze dress emerged from behind the bushes. The red gauze dress hung loosely on her body, and her flawless skin was dazzlingly white.
