Starting with Fireflies, Speedrun the World

Upon hearing Fei Xiao's voice, the fox demon girls beside him were startled and looked somewhat worried. This was still the territory of the One Qi Alliance, so it was impossible for demons to have come after them.

They are most likely the Taoists from the One Qi Alliance.

Because of their experiences, they have an instinctive aversion to and fear of the people of the One Qi Alliance.

"Most likely, they were attracted by the commotion earlier."

The arrow that Feixiao fired earlier caused quite a stir, and if there were any Taoist priests nearby, they would naturally be attracted to it.

"You all leave here first and go to a safe place. Leave the person who came to me."

Fei Xiao flexed his wrists, considering the current conflict between humans and demons in this world. If these people wanted to avenge those Taoists, Fei Xiao would not be merciful.

She is not a person of this world; she doesn't take sides with either humans or demons. She only stands by her own side and does what she believes is right.

At least at this moment, she sympathized with the experiences of these fox spirit girls.

"But... what about you, Sister Feixiao?"

"There are many Taoist priests, and they also have magical artifacts specifically designed to suppress demonic power."

Upon hearing Fei Xiao's words, the fox demon girls, though afraid of the Taoist priests chasing after them, also did not want Fei Xiao to cover their retreat alone and sacrifice himself to help them escape.

Even after experiencing so many tragedies, the girls still have their own bottom line and morals.

Although Feixiao is powerful, since ancient times, demons have been good at strength while humans are good at wisdom. Humans used to barely survive under the oppression of the demon race.

Until one day, humans suddenly obtained something called a "magical artifact," and began to possess the power to contend with the demon race.

Many of these magical artifacts can subdue powerful demons and demon kings, such as the King's Sword and the Demon-Slaying Divine Fire...

This is why many powerful demons have capsized in the treacherous hooks.

"Don't worry."

Hearing the little fox's words of concern for him, Fei Xiao couldn't help but smile.

"The number of people has never been the key to victory or defeat."

"I have experienced countless wars and battles throughout my life, and I have never been defeated. If there is anyone in this world who can truly be my opponent, then I will have to look at them with new eyes."

Fei Xiao reached out and touched the fox ears of the little fox next to him; his confidence was infectious.

That kind of confidence in one's strength, that invincible spirit.

She will forge ahead fearlessly, and all the enemies in her way will become stepping stones for her to stand even higher.

"I am the general of the Immortal Ship, the [Heavenly Strike General], the [Great Victory General], and even more so the [Three-No General] - carefree, regretless, and invincible."

"My only true opponent is myself..."

No matter how formidable an enemy may be, none of them are her true match. Fei Xiao's only true opponent has always been herself.

It is the self that must be surpassed, the restless beast within.

"So instead of worrying about me, you should worry about the enemies."

"Alright, you guys should hurry up and leave! The commotion here is going to be quite loud soon."

Jiaoqiu was right about one thing: every time Feixiao made a move, it caused a huge commotion and destruction. Therefore, she wouldn't let these fox demon girls stay nearby, as it would affect them.

Although the fox spirit girls were still a little hesitant and worried about Feixiao.

But after calming down, they realized that not only could they not be of any help here, but they might even become a burden to Feixiao.

"Xiao Mi, Xiao Kui, let's listen to General Fei Xiao and leave first."

"With General Feixiao's strength, even if she is no match for those Taoists, they cannot stop her from leaving. Our presence here is actually making it more difficult for her to move around."

Seeing the hesitation of Xiao Mi and the others, Qing'er, who was more rational, directly pulled them back. Although she hadn't witnessed Fei Xiao's strength firsthand, just from the aura she exuded, she knew that her strength was definitely not simple.

She noticed Fei Xiao's body in particular; although it was as white as jade, the muscles and the explosive power hidden beneath his skin were undeniable.

She even felt that Fei Xiao in front of her could kill a powerful demon king with a single punch.

Instead of blindly worrying about her here, it's better to leave first and let Feixiao unleash her full potential without any worries.

"I see."

Although still hesitant, Xiaomi and the others didn't insist any further, not wanting to become a burden. So, led by Qing'er, they reluctantly left.

After watching the fox spirit girls leave completely, Fei Xiao withdrew his gaze and then turned his attention to the sky, where figures were rapidly approaching.

These Taoist priests fly incredibly slowly, far slower than many people from the previous world.

Although flying on a sword looks cool...

However, the Taoists in this world are somewhat unbalanced. They possess all sorts of magical treasures and supernatural powers from myths and legends, but in simplified versions.

Apart from a few individuals, most Taoist priests rely on magical treasures to fight their enemies.

Feixiao stood there, waiting for the Taoist priests to approach. After all, she didn't know if the Taoist priests would continue to hunt down the fox demon girls once she left.

Since we've offered to help, we should naturally see it through to the end.

Moreover, she was also eager to see just how strong the cultivators in this world really were.

Before long, dozens of sword lights swiftly flew to the huge hole created by the Flying Arrow.

When the sword light stopped in mid-air, it could be seen that they were all Taoist priests dressed in the robes of the One Qi Alliance. They were making a finger gesture with one hand and standing on a flying sword.

"What a huge hole! I didn't see it last time I came."

Looking at the enormous hole, a Taoist priest couldn't help but swallow hard. What kind of power could create such a massive crater?

"Could this be the cause of the commotion we just witnessed? Was it a shooting star? Why didn't we notice it before?"

"I don't know..."

"The group that captured that fox demon completely disappeared here; they're probably..."

"What should we do? The Xiao family probably won't let this go easily, and that old man Xiao Wancheng just happens to be looking for an excuse to cause trouble..."

Although they didn't particularly like the Xiao family, it had to be said that the Xiao family members, relying on their status as inspectors, had turned the Yi Qi Dao Alliance into a chaotic mess, and very few people were willing to offend the Xiao family.

After all, if you offend him, you'll inevitably be targeted by him at some point.

Is the Xiao family powerful? Not necessarily. However, they are adept at manipulating public opinion, and given their special status, even the Wang Quan and Dongfang families often have no choice but to accept it.

Moreover, the Dao Alliance is not what it used to be, and the Dongfang and Wangquan families have declined somewhat.

The Wang Quan family has been doing slightly better recently, and their heir, Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye, is considered a leading figure among the younger generation.

However, the old patriarch of the Eastern Clan is old and has not appeared in public for a long time, while the younger generation seems to have little reputation.

"too slow."

Just then, a woman's voice suddenly entered their ears.

"Who?!"

Who's here?

The sudden appearance of the woman's voice startled many people, who instinctively looked around, but found no outsiders nearby.

"...To be honest, your reaction is a bit disappointing. If everyone in the One Qi Alliance were like you, I really don't know if there would be any point in their existence."

The Taoists in mid-air did not notice Feixiao's presence until Feixiao himself stepped out and stood in front of them.

Looking at the Taoist priests flying on their swords, Fei Xiao felt a little bored.

These people all look so weak.

She was full of expectations, feeling that she should be able to fight, but it turned out that not only was she weak, but her vigilance was also so poor.

"Fox demon?!"

Upon seeing Feixiao appear below, the Taoists of the Qi Alliance in the air all changed their expressions. There was actually a monster nearby that they had not noticed at all.

If she had suddenly attacked them earlier, they might have suffered a great loss.

Notice the fox ears on Feixiao's head below, and these Taoists naturally regarded her as a fox demon.

However, for some reason, I didn't sense any demonic power from her, which is why I didn't notice her presence immediately.

"Hmph, what a boastful statement! What right does a mere fox demon have to talk about my Dao Alliance?"

Coming to his senses, a hint of disgust flashed in the Taoist priest's eyes—disgust for the demon race. In this era, only a few people could treat the demon race with equanimity.

Especially the political maneuvers employed by the Xiao family a few years ago, which led to a long period of fear and apprehension towards the mere mention of "demon".

The inspector of the Xiao family is best at using "collusion with the demon race" as an excuse to manipulate public opinion and suppress hostile forces and families.

Those with true insight know that this is nothing more than a political maneuver, but a considerable number of people in the One Qi Alliance and even among the human race have been brainwashed and harbor extremely high hatred towards the demon race.

However, in reality, the Xiao family had been secretly raising quite a few demons.

“Brother Zhang, since the deaths of those people have given Xiao Wancheng an excuse to make trouble, why don’t we capture the fox demon in front of us and hand it over to the Xiao family for disposal, and then… it can be considered as an explanation.”

"In that case, we shouldn't be implicated..."

"Makes sense."

The Taoist priest surnamed Zhang nodded upon hearing this.

He didn't even care how those people died before, because it was meaningless, because no matter how they died, it would all become a political attack tool for Xiao Wancheng to suppress hostile forces.

They might all be affected, and in this situation... it would be very troublesome if they didn't produce something to show for it.

But that's not enough; they have to pay a price.

After thinking it through, he stopped wasting words and directly issued the order.

"Let's attack together, capture the fox demon before us, and hand it over to the Dao Alliance for disposal."

"Yes."

Without hesitation, everyone immediately displayed their magical flying swords and thrust them towards the flying sky below.

There is absolutely no need for a reason to attack the demon race.

Seeing dozens of flying swords hurtling towards him, Fei Xiao remained unfazed and even stretched his neck.

Finally, when the flying sword was less than half a meter away from Feixiao, she made a move.

"too slow."

Looking at the attack before him, what others saw as the speed of a bullet seemed to Fei Xiao as if time itself had stopped, moving even slower than a tortoise.
