Gou Zai Yao Wu Simulated Immortal
Chapter 23 Torturing the Fox
Foxy was forced to look up, meeting Li Qian's gaze.
The boy's eyes were cold and desolate, and in a daze, it seemed as if thousands of demons were struggling and wailing in his pupils.
Compared to many warriors she had ever met, this one sent chills down her spine.
Her throat bobbed, and she said in a trembling voice, "That one in the Northern Border... outsiders only dare to call him the Fox Lord."
"Our branch is originally a collateral branch of his Fox Clan."
"As for coming to the South... it was also under orders to go into hiding."
Li Qian remained unmoved, staring into the monster's beastly eyes: "Whose orders are you on? What are you hiding for?"
The fox spirit hurriedly replied, "I am acting on the orders of my fox master!"
We have come to the southern lands for three reasons: first, to propagate our bloodline; second, to search for something for our superiors; and third, to investigate the true nature of the southern lands and pave the way for the great demons to come.
Li Qian's eyes turned slightly cold: "Looking for what?"
The fox-like woman's lips twitched, and she whispered, "Find a damaged demonic weapon."
"The higher-ups only said that the fragments of the demonic weapon fell in the south. We've been hiding in various counties precisely to wait for it..."
She was slurring her words and tried to gloss over the issue.
"You've gotten addicted to it?!"
[Remember the fastest online novel website: 20 ...
Li Qian gently hooked his fingertip.
The water that was supporting her chin suddenly changed, turning into a thin stream that flowed into her throat again!
Her foxy eyes bulged, and she made strange, muffled noises in her throat.
The demon immediately arched its back, struggling wildly with its limbs, but was tightly bound by the water rope and rendered completely futile.
Li Qian's tone remained flat: "If you say another line, you're dead."
Fox Fairy coughed so hard it was heartbreaking; she was truly terrified of being tormented this time.
Without Li Qian asking any further questions, he spilled out everything he knew like beans pouring from a bamboo tube.
From the fox lord's methods of governing his subordinates to the fox clan's spies lurking in the southern counties.
From their hiding place in Bailudang to the findings of their recent explorations around Xiangyang.
They even revealed the origins of that powerful demon lover.
By the end, she was completely paralyzed in the water dungeon, her face devoid of any allure, her voice barely a whisper: "Young master... that's all I know."
"Please have mercy and spare my life..."
She struggled to lift her head, her eyes filled with pleading and fear.
After listening, Li Qian pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
The smile was perfectly ordinary, yet it sent chills down the fox spirit's spine.
"Spare you?"
He glanced down at her, noticing her shiny fur: "This young master is in need of a fox fur coat."
Foxy's face instantly lost all color.
"you--"
Before she could utter a single word, the water suddenly stopped flowing, constricting her entire body.
They lifted her up and suspended her in mid-air, like a piece of livestock waiting to be skinned.
Li Qian was completely unaware that one person remained conscious throughout.
……
The night wind blows, and the reeds rustle.
Not far away, Zhou Lan, exhausted, collapsed in the mud.
They thought they were doomed, but unexpectedly, the most surprising person saved them.
The Commandant of the Sili said that his soul was naturally stronger than that of ordinary people.
He is more resistant to bewitching spells than ordinary martial artists, making him a natural demon hunter.
He used to be incredibly proud, but he never imagined he would be in this situation now.
Why didn't I just faint like everyone else?
He heard most of the commotion just now.
"Close your eyes! Close them!"
His eyes were injured by the fox demon, and the more he tried to close them, the less his eyelids obeyed him.
"If I keep my eyes open any longer, will I even survive?!"
Zhou Lan's pearls were terribly dry, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, as if she had been frightened into tears.
I couldn't help but curse myself for being unlucky.
His mind was racing, his left brain battling against his right.
Judging from what the fox demon said, this matter clearly involves the Northern Fox Lord, fragments of demonic soldiers, and spies from the Southern Lands...
Young Master Li remained completely unfazed upon hearing this, as if he had expected it all along.
The more Zhou Lan thought about it, the more her scalp tingled.
I realized I had truly been blind before, and had been so blinded by my desire to curry favor with someone powerful that I lost my mind.
What rich young master with a gold plating...
This is clearly the Li family's hidden trump card.
Perhaps he received magical teachings from a strange person from a young age, and his usual absurd behavior is just to conceal his true strength.
Now that demonic calamities are rising in the south, he was sent to the Demon Slayer Bureau to use the government's name to carry out his own affairs.
Thinking deeper...
The Li family has been engaged in commerce for many years, transporting goods from the north to the south, with trade routes extending in all directions and their network of informants and acquaintances everywhere.
According to old news from the bureau, Li Linyi, the head of the Li family, also had a past relationship with Su Zhen, the demon envoy...
It's possible that we knew about the demonic troubles in the south, but we simply remained inactive.
Sending this second young master to Puyuan County now seems like just putting an idle person in the office to do nothing.
In reality, it was a hidden move.
Their scheme is far-reaching!
How should a lowly flag officer like myself conduct myself?!
……
As for Li Qianna, there was a crisp cracking sound as the water rope tightened suddenly, and Fox Fairy's neck bones snapped.
The demon's life ended, and its illusion dissipated.
The alluring woman transformed in the blink of an eye into a large fox with reddish-gray fur.
Its limbs drooped limply, and its tail hung down listlessly.
The fox cubs trapped in the water dungeon also revealed their true forms.
It was no bigger than a yellow dog, and its death was gruesome, with its teeth bared.
Li Qian's gaze swept across the area and suddenly landed on the large fox corpse.
To be precise, it landed on that soft armor.
The soft armor was dark in color, with fine scales, resembling a snake but not quite.
It was attached to the outside of the fox fur and remained completely undamaged despite the fierce battle and the strangulation in the water prison.
Li Qian raised his hand and pulled the soft armor into his palm.
He briefly activated the "Haori Palm" technique, then brought two fingers together, pinched the edge of the soft nail, and gave it a sharp squeeze.
The force of the palm penetrated through the fingers, which should have been enough to split wood and shatter stone.
But the moment it touched those scales, the force vanished as if it had been thrown into the sea, dissipated layer by layer.
The soft armor remained unchanged, without leaving a single white mark.
Li Qian's eyes lit up immediately.
"nice one."
If it weren't for using the "Water Control Technique" to trap these fox demons in one go...
Using ordinary methods, it would be quite troublesome to keep them all here.
Especially noteworthy is that this vixen is also wearing a snakeskin soft armor.
In terms of defensive power alone, it is not much different from ordinary magical artifacts.
However, without the nourishment of spiritual energy, it cannot be activated by spiritual power, and it is difficult to bring out the true wonders of the material.
If brought back to True Spirit Continent.
If someone re-infuses it with spirit and inscribes new patterns, it might become another valuable item.
The members of the Demon Slayer Division have not yet woken up, so we need to put on a show.
With a wave of his hand, he dispersed several water prisons and captured all the corpses of the fox demons.
With a swift movement, he carried a string of fox corpses and silently returned to his horse.
Li Qian fell asleep immediately, but the demon corpse was nowhere to be found.
……
True Spirit Continent.
The thatched hut was quiet and still, and the night air was slightly cool.
Li Qian threw several fox corpses into the cellar inside the house. Several muffled thuds echoed, raising a light dust cloud on the ground.
He looked at his hands; killing a demon for the first time seemed easier than killing a chicken, though he didn't know why.
He pulled out the snakeskin armor separately; under the moonlight, the scales gleamed with a cold, dark light.
I checked the size, but it wasn't a good fit, so I'll have to ask someone to make it.
However, he was extremely satisfied with the harvest.
This trip must have been quite profitable.
Thinking about it, the path to immortality is indeed smooth, and I'm not far from reaching the mid-stage of Qi Refining!
The next day, just as dawn broke.
Li Qian stopped cultivating and went out the door.
In order to find something to cover their face and hide their presence.
I am only at the third level of Qi Refining, and I made an appearance in the Zilanfang area a few days ago.
If you just carry those eight fox carcasses around in the city like that...
Those thieves lurking in the market, eyeing the fat sheep, will probably pounce as soon as they smell blood.
