Fox Demon: The villain at the beginning

Chapter 409 Drowned Chicken, Stubborn
Without the obstruction of the divine light, the sword energy surged forward, heading straight for the woman in green.

"With a jade ruyi scepter, the Daoist arts follow my will!"

Looking at the incoming golden sword energy, Qingmu Yuan recited two incantations, and a three-zhang-wide azure light domain immediately rose up, enveloping her body.

This domain is a family heirloom of the Qing family, the Treasure-Falling Domain!
It is formed by the convergence of a large amount of falling treasure divine light, which can block people's spells, follow one's own energy channels, and cause people to fall and treasures to fall.

Reaching the pinnacle of cultivation is practically a forbidden zone for other cultivators.

Although Aoki Hime is only a teenager, after years of cultivation, she has already mastered this technique to a high degree, and therefore is quite confident in this domain.

Even when faced with that incredibly powerful golden sword energy, she neither dodged nor evaded.

The sword energy, several dozen feet long, was like a dragon, slashing straight into the azure light domain.

click-

With a crisp sound, the originally stable and resilient azure light domain shattered instantly, like glass.

"how is this possible?"

Upon seeing this, Aoki Yuan exclaimed in surprise, her beautiful, peach-blossom-like eyes widening in shock.

Her Treasure-Dropping Domain has the ability to block spells. Even if it is not strong enough, it can weaken the power of spells. How could it be completely ineffective against that sword energy?
She couldn't understand it for a moment, but no matter how unwilling she was to accept it, the sword energy still slashed straight towards her chest.

In a moment of desperation, Aoki Yuan raised her arms and quickly erected a protective aura of azure light in front of her chest.

boom--

A powerful sword aura erupted, and the sharp sword light struck the azure protective barrier, shattering it instantly.

Aoki Hime coughed up blood and fell headfirst into the turquoise lake below, creating a splash.

"Now, Fairy Qing is soaked to the bone!"

Li Muchen, standing to the side, gloated.

She still remembered the waiter's disparaging words, so when she saw Aoki Hime fall into the lake, she felt a sense of satisfaction.

In mid-air, looking down at the rippling blue lake below, Jin Renfeng couldn't help but shake his head.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to not use his full strength; otherwise, that single sword strike might have been enough to kill this Fairy Miaoyu.

The female disciples of the Qing family were also somewhat confused.

"Why isn't Sister Mu Yuan's magic reacting to the boy's sword energy?"

A female disciple in a red dress asked, puzzled.

"Does his sword energy possess some unique technique?"

"It looks no different from ordinary sword energy."

"That's what the female disciple in green said."

The female disciples discussed among themselves, but for a moment they couldn't figure out the reason.

"I remember Sister Ruoyan once mentioned Jin Renfeng of Shenhuo Mountain Manor."

A female disciple suddenly remembered something and spoke up.

Immediately, everyone's gaze turned to Qing Ruoyan in the crowd.

On the other side, seeing their own magic broken, the elders were also puzzled and all looked at the old lady Qing in front of them.

"Master, this spell—"

The head of the Qing family raised his hand, interrupting their conversation.

"No rush, let's take a look first."

After a while, Aoki Hime leaped out of the lake.

She was in a rather disheveled state. Her once exquisite and neat clothes were now tattered, the sleeves missing, revealing her delicate, lotus-root-like arms. Her entire body was soaked in lake water, and her snow-white skin was faintly visible beneath the light gauze. Her slender waist and full hip curves were on full display.

An ordinary woman would probably be quite concerned about her appearance, but Qingmu Yuan had no scruples and flew straight to Jin Renfeng.

"Senior Brother Jin, my Treasure Falling Domain technique is quite proficient, so how come it has no effect on your sword energy?"

Aoki Hime frowned and asked.

"Perhaps the girl's magic is unfamiliar and doesn't recognize my family's sword energy."

Jin Renfeng chuckled lightly.
Aoki Hime raised her eyebrows, pursed her lips, and looked angry.

This person was clearly toying with her.

It's just a spell, not a person, so why would it be shy or not?
Does he think that the Treasure Drop Technique is ineffective and that he can't do anything to him?

Feeling slighted, the girl's anger flared, and she immediately raised the blue-light Ruyi in her hand.

"Since my senior brother won't tell me, I'll try it myself."

Having said that, Aoki Yuanhao lightly raised her wrist, and with a flick of her delicate hand, nine palm-sized blue lotus flowers condensed on the Ruyi.

The petals swayed in the wind, delicate and tender, like exquisite jade.

go--

With a soft shout, the girl sent out nine azure lotus flowers, which flew out and covered a distance of several dozen feet in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the blue and white porcelain coming, Jin Renfeng waved his sleeve, and a streak of divine fire instantly transformed into a long whip in his hand, which he then lashed out horizontally.

clap clap-

With a series of soft sounds, the nine blue lotus flowers were swept across by the long whip, and pure yang flames rose up, instantly burning them into nothingness.

Seeing that the lotus was useless, Qingmu Yuan gathered divine light around her and transformed it into a powerful bow in her palm.

Then she drew her bow and nocked an arrow, the bowstring taut as a full moon.

Zheng——

With a whistle of the bowstring, the arrow formed from the divine light of falling treasures shot out instantly. Its speed was so great that even divine sense could hardly detect it.

Jin Renfeng waved his hand, and pure Yang Flame gathered into a ball, transforming into a fist several meters in size, which he used to block in front of himself.

clang--

With a crisp sound, the blue feathered arrow was deflected.

Watching the two exchange words, Li Muchen looked surprised.

She originally thought that Qing Ruoyan's Treasure-Dropping Technique had no effect on the fool because Qing Ruoyan's skills were not good enough.

But now, looking at her, even Aoki Hime, who is known for her genius, is like this in front of the idiot.

"This is true for one, and it is also true for two."

"It seems it's not a matter of personal cultivation level. It's clear that the idiot has methods to counter the Qing family's magic."

Li Muchen pondered to himself, then looked at Dongfang Huaizhu beside him and asked,

"Sister Huaizhu, could it be that your family's Pure Yang Flame can counter the Qing family's magic?"

“After the newcomer martial arts tournament, I asked my father a similar question.”

Huai Zhu said softly,
"My father said that although the Pure Yang Flame can offset some of the power of the Treasure Drop, it still cannot completely exempt it from its power."

"Even Master Dongfang couldn't do it, so where did that idiot get his methods from?"

Li Muchen looked puzzled.

"It must be my senior brother's unique method!"

Huai Zhu looked at the man in the arena with a complicated expression.

. . . . . .

Azure light and divine fire flew everywhere as the two attacked and defended, exchanging more than ten blows in the blink of an eye.

"This girl is really stubborn!"

Jin Renfeng flicked his fingertips, breaking through the azure divine light that enveloped him one by one, a helpless expression on his face.

His innate Qi is formed by the convergence of essence, energy, and spirit, and its controllability far surpasses the magic power of the fox demon world.

The Qing family's Treasure-Losing Technique might be able to seal the magical treasures of the fox demon world and form the Treasure-Losing Power by refining magical power, but it would be of no use to him.

It's safe to say that the outcome of this challenge is practically obvious.

In such an unfavorable situation, anyone would have to surrender.

But Aoki Yuan not only refused to admit defeat, but also insisted on fighting him despite the fact that the Treasure Drop Technique had failed.

"Senior brother, why is my Treasure Drop Technique completely ineffective against your spells?"

Seeing that all her methods had failed, Aoki Hime asked again.

"Perhaps it's because I'm stronger than you!"

Jin Renfeng casually came up with an excuse.

"impossible!"

Aoki Hime shook her head.
"Even though my senior brother is stronger than me, my Treasure Drop Technique will still weaken the power of the spell."

"It certainly wouldn't be like this now, completely ineffective." "There must be other reasons."

Jin Renfeng said helplessly,

"I once explained to Miss Ruoyan that the Qing family's magic has a delay before it forms a seal. If the seal is broken at this time, the so-called Treasure Drop Technique will not work."

Because it involves the Mirror of Reincarnation, the method of the Primordial Qi cannot be revealed yet.

To explain his reasoning, he brought up the fabricated excuse he had made up at the rookie martial arts tournament.

"Still impossible!"

Aoki Hime categorically denied it.

“After the previous newcomer martial arts tournament, I asked Sister Ruoyan about the reason for our defeat.”

"For this reason, I also specially trained to increase the speed of sealing to the extreme."

"Among the entire Qing family, I am the most skilled in using the Treasure Drop Technique. The so-called delay in sealing could never happen to me."

Jin Renfeng couldn't help but slap his forehead.

He never imagined that someone would actually practice their magic according to his earlier joke.

"This girl is so stubborn!"

Jin Renfeng secretly groaned in his heart.

Having gone through this experience, my previous excuses no longer hold water.

"Why is this girl so stubborn?"

"If only it were as easy to fool as Qing Ruoyan was before, wouldn't that be great?"

. . . . . .

"It seems that Mu Yuan is no match for Jin Renfeng."

Watching Jin Renfeng handle the numerous spells with the ease of a stroll in a garden, the head of the Qing family couldn't help but sigh.

"Did that kid really break the seal by force using magic?"

An elder dressed in a gray robe asked doubtfully.

"Mu Yuan's magic is already highly skilled. She's almost on par with me."

The head of the Qing family shook his head.

There is absolutely no flaw in the delay of the seal.

"That kid is clearly fooling people."

She knew the Treasure Drop Technique all too well, and therefore knew that with Mu Yuan's sealing speed, even if she had mastered the manipulation of magic power, it would be impossible for her to break free in such a short time.

"Patriarch, the two have now exchanged more than a dozen blows. Can you discern the techniques that boy is using?"

An elder in white robes said in a low voice.

"Even with my limited knowledge, I can't tell."

Old Madam Qing glanced at the young man, her brows furrowed.

"That kid didn't use any special tricks from beginning to end. Apart from his magic power being quite solid and flowing smoothly, there was nothing outstanding about him."

"Logically speaking, it shouldn't be able to restrain our family's treasure-dropping technique."

The elders exchanged glances, all showing surprise.

The gray-robed elder stepped forward and said,

"Should we prepare some measures in advance?"

Old Madam Qing frowned.
"What do you mean?"

"If that kid really has mastered a way to counter the Qing family's spell-casting technique, and he spreads it, then the Qing family will surely suffer a great calamity."

The gray-robed elder spoke in a low voice.

"This concerns the future of the Qing family, so we must take precautions!"

"You want to make a move against that Jin Renfeng?"

Old Madam Qing raised an eyebrow.
"You really have a death wish."

"Leaving aside that kid's master, the Demon Emperor, just look at his own strength. He's a peak Great Demon King. Which of you could withstand that?"

"Isn't the head of the family here?"

The gray-robed elder said awkwardly.

"Me? I was almost refined by the Deng family's Ten Buddha Formation. Do you think I came out unscathed?"

"Old Madam Qing said irritably."

"If you want to die, then do it yourself. Don't drag me into it."

Seeing the patriarch's impatient expression, the gray-robed elder looked unpleasant but remained silent.

"Patriarch, are we just going to let that kid leave like this?"

Another elder spoke up.

"I have my own methods; just wait for me to make the arrangements."

"That's what Madam Qing said calmly."

"However, I think you don't need to worry so much about the secret being leaked."

"What do you mean by that, Patriarch?"

The elder asked, puzzled.

"Two years ago, when I visited Shenhuoshan Manor, I also fought with that old ghost from the East."

"Old Madam Qing said slowly."

"Although he is incredibly powerful and his mastery of divine fire techniques is unparalleled, my spell-dropping technique can still affect his divine fire."

"This shows that Dongfang Guyue cannot, like Jin Renfeng, render my Qing family's Treasure Drop Technique ineffective."

"If such a method truly exists, there's no reason why the master wouldn't know it, yet the disciple would possess it alone."

"Based on my guess, even if that method is really aimed at my Qing family, it should be an exclusive secret technique that cannot be spread at will."

Upon hearing this explanation, the elders nodded repeatedly.

"The patriarch's conjecture is reasonable, well-founded, and convincing."

"It seems we were too hasty and lost our composure."

. . . . . .

With a few deft taps of her delicate hand, Qingmu Yuan caused the Eight Treasures Jade Ruyi to radiate light, and beams of azure light shot out.

Jin Renfeng stood in the air, waving his fists and palms to block in front of him.

Every strike hit the azure light perfectly.

In an instant, more than a dozen beams of divine light were sent flying by the palm force, scattering in all directions.

Boom boom boom——

Some divine light fell into Bijian Lake, stirring up towering columns of water.

"Junior Sister Qing, your magic has been completely broken by me. You'd better just admit defeat!"

Jin Renfeng said calmly.

"Unless my senior brother tells me why the spell is ineffective, I will not admit defeat no matter what."

Aoki Hime said firmly.

Jin Renfeng rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

The girl meant no harm, but she was just a little too stubborn.

"There's no point in delaying any longer; it's better to just resolve this decisively!"

"However, the Qing family is a neutral faction, so it's not good to make a big enemy of them."

After pondering for a moment, Jin Renfeng finally raised his palm, and a surge of magical power gathered out, instantly unleashing a golden sword intent that soared into the sky.

"This is sword intent? This kid has actually mastered sword intent?"

Feeling the sharpness that irritated his skin, the head of the Qing family looked horrified.

Although Shenhuo Mountain Manor is now famous for its Shenhuo Sword, no one takes its swordsmanship seriously.

Many powerful families knew that the so-called Divine Fire Sword was just a facade; in essence, it was still the Pure Yang Flame Summoning Technique.

It's similar to ordinary magic and can't be considered swordsmanship at all.
