Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Although Huan Ye was heartbroken, seeing how Xiao Tang and Qian Qian loved each other back then, he still gave them his blessing. However, he never expected that such a thing would happen in just a few years, which made Huan Ye even angrier.

Lin Yaoxie listened to Huan Ye's story as if Huan Ye were eating a delicious meal, finding it tasteless. However, Lin Yaoxie did understand one thing: Huan Ye had once liked Qian Qian, but Qian Qian married Xiao Tang. It was roughly a melodramatic love triangle.

Having grasped the general idea, Lin Yaoxie said:

"Even if you no longer love each other, why did you eat her? Could it be that Qianqian...?"

If a man suddenly becomes furious with someone he once deeply loved, it's most likely because he's been cheated on.

Hearing Lin Yaoxie's words, Qianqian cried even harder, but Xiaotang said:

"Pah, pah, pah... I consider you my brother's friends, so I won't eat you, but you're spouting nonsense here."

Qianqian cried for a while, then blushed and said to 813 Lin Yaoxie:

"Young master, you have misunderstood me."

Qianqian wiped away her tears and continued:

"I am not human, so I need not concern myself with things like the Three Obediences and Four Virtues of womanhood."

Qianqian wiped away her tears and spoke haltingly to Lin Yaoxie:

"The reason why Xiao Tang wanted to eat me was to escape from the Demon Locking Tower."

Hearing Qianqian's words, Lin Yaoxie became even more confused:

What does escaping the Demon-Sealing Tower have to do with cannibalism?

"However, though I am a fox spirit, I also understand the principle of remaining faithful to one's lover."

Xiao Tang answered with a proud look:

"Of course it's related. You can escape the Demon-Locking Tower by eating either ninety-nine people or nine hundred and ninety-nine demons."

Lin Yaoxie didn't seem curious about Xiao Tang's words, as if there was indeed such a rumor inside the Demon Locking Tower.

Upon hearing this, Huan Ye reacted as if struck by lightning, and asked sharply:

"Did Shuming say this?"

Who is Shuming? Lin Yaoxie was taken aback. There was such a character in the Legend of Sword and Fairy?

Xiaotang said:

"That's right, it's Lord Zhenyu."

Huan Ye sneered:

"Haven't seen him in years, and he's actually gotten a brain. How exactly?"

Xiao Tang said, "Lord Zhenyu Mingwang said that as long as you can devour ninety-nine people or nine hundred and ninety-nine demons, you can go to him, and he will let you leave the Demon Locking Tower."

Chapter Ninety-One: Mysterious Skills

Lin Yaoxie thought to himself, "So Shuming is the Prison King in the Demon Locking Tower. That ugly monster is quite clever. Seeing that Huanye has established a kingdom in the Demon Locking Tower, threatening the stability of the Demon Locking Tower, he has come up with such a policy."

The idea that one can escape by consuming 999 demons, causing the demons inside the Demon Locking Tower to fight each other, is truly the best and most effortless way to dismantle the ideal kingdom of Night Summoning.

Lin Yaoxie asked:

"Has anyone gone out?"

Xiao Tang looked at Lin Yaoxie as if he were an idiot:

"You think we're all as stupid as you humans? I've personally witnessed someone escape the Demon Locking Tower under the spell of Lord Prison."

Lin Yaoxie secretly felt something was amiss. Although that Prison-Suppressing King was called a King, in essence he was merely a jailer. How could he possibly have the authority to release the demons from the Demon-Locking Tower? But...

If he hadn't let them go, the demons in the Demon-Sealing Tower wouldn't be fools and wouldn't have believed him.

Xiao Tang broke free from Huan Ye's hand, which was holding her. Huan Ye stood there motionless, like a zombie with a talisman stuck to him. Xiao Tang slowly said, "Qianqian, let's do it."

Qianqian said in a trembling voice, "No, I don't want to."

Xiaotang said:

"I think you'd better make the first move. We've been married for so many years, I'll let you have the first strike."

Qianqian said:

"Go ahead and kill me if you want. What good will it do to get out of here?"

Xiao Tang said with tears in her eyes:

“I don’t want to kill you, but if I don’t kill you, I don’t know when I’ll be able to wait for the last demon. I’m not very capable to begin with, and I only managed to kill 998 demons by using underhanded methods. I’ve been waiting for the last one for almost a year, but I haven’t had a chance to make a move. I don’t want to stay in this hellish place, the Demon Locking Tower, for a second longer. What I want is the mountains and forests, to be the king of the forest.”

Qianqian asked, "Then why did you say those things to me back then?"

Xiao Tang sighed:

"It was just youthful arrogance; let's just take it as a joke."

As she spoke, Xiaotang opened her mouth and actually spat out a green flame. The flame moved very slowly, as if she was forcing Qianqian to take action.

Qianqian cried out in surprise and leaped two steps to the right, but the flame she had obtained was like a maggot crawling on her bones, relentlessly pursuing her.

Qianqian took another step back, now back to the corner of the wall. Xiaotang Cui activated her magic, and flames rushed towards her.

Qianqian's eyes suddenly lit up as she asked:

"Is my husband really so heartless?"

Seeing Qianqian's expression change, Xiaotang knew she had successfully pressured Qianqian and said:

“Kill me and you can get out. You’ve been a part of all the monsters I’ve killed over the years. It’s a pity that the Demon Locking Tower can no longer find any demon with lower magic power than me, except for you.”

Lin Yaoxie thought to himself, "Xiao Tang is quite capable, how could she not find a demon with lower magical power? Those on the ninth and eighth floors are all low-level demons."

However, thinking of the sphinx in front of the Bagua Stone on the eighth floor, he understood a bit. It must be because of that sphinx that the connection between the eighth floor and the lower floors was severed.

Qianqian had nowhere left to retreat and was about to leap to the side when she saw Xiaotang form a hand seal in front of her chest. Two gusts of wind attacked Qianqian from the left and right, making it impossible for her to dodge. Meanwhile, the flame that had been directly in front of her was gradually approaching.

Seeing that the frail Qianqian was less than two feet away from the flames in front of her, getting closer and closer, Lin Yaoxie raised his hand to help Qianqian, but was stopped by Huanye.

As soon as Qianqian struck out, the flame shrank back two feet. Xiaotang was taken aback. He had originally intended to show off his skills, forcing Qianqian while also intimidating Lin Yaoxie and Huanye, telling them to mind their own business. However, he never expected that his wife, with whom he spent every day, also possessed such demonic power.

Huan Ye sighed:

"She finally made her move. In this Demon-Sealing Tower, no one can be her match. Even I could barely survive under her attack."

Xiao Tang was confused, so she formed a hand seal and sent the flames back. The flames, mixed with a strong wind, shot towards Qian Qian's face.

Xiao Tang exerted tremendous force this time, and the flames moved extremely fast. Qianqian let out a soft cry and turned sharply to the left. Fortunately, the two gusts of wind that Xiao Tang had unleashed earlier had already passed, and Qianqian dodged them. The flames struck the wall, making a crackling sound.

It should be noted that all the buildings here are constructed using bricks and tiles made with secret techniques from within the Demon-Sealing Tower. If they were ordinary brick and tile houses, they would probably have collapsed long ago.

Qianqian whispered:

"After all these years, your move 'Starfall and Earthquake' is still less than 30% effective."

Qianqian raised her left palm, and a force pushed the flames. The originally fierce flames were cut in two. The first half lost its momentum and gradually weakened after burning on the wall for a while.

Xiao Tang was startled and immediately formed a hand seal again to control the half-burnt flame, trying to bring it back from its severed state.

Qianqian chuckled softly and with a wave of her right hand, the flames were extinguished.

Xiao Tang was confused and thought that Qian Qian's skills were not enough, so she could only extinguish the flames but could not hurt herself in the slightest. Then she opened her huge mouth and a flame attacked Qian Qian again.

Unlike before, this time the flames were an eerie green. These green flames were much thicker than the previous ones, and for a moment, they illuminated Qianqian's face and head with a vibrant green hue.

Qianqian clapped her hands to block the green flames, which resembled a jade dragon lying across the sky between the two of them.

Xiao Tang was somewhat incredulous. She had increased her strength three times in a row, but Qian Qian had blocked it each time. Xiao Tang felt both anxious and angry. She formed a hand seal in front of her chest again, hoping to overpower Qian Qian, but both attempts failed. Suddenly, a chill ran down her spine and up to the back of her head:

“This vixen doesn’t seem to have used her full strength; she’s been hiding this from me all these years.”

Thinking of this, Xiao Tang felt a little scared, and Cui Dong's magical power naturally weakened. The fiery azure dragon in the air attacked Xiao Tang like lightning.

Seeing that things were going badly, Xiao Tang shouted and opened her mouth again. The fire dragon that had been there before transformed into a large, emerald-green fireball that flew towards Qian Qian.

Qianqian waved her hands lightly, blocking the fireball's attack. A huge, cold fireball spun continuously in the air. Xiaotang knew that Qianqian had no intention of taking his life. He raised his eyebrows and revealed a sly smile.

With a series of taps of his right index finger, and after another hand seal, two fireballs attacked Qianqian from the left and right respectively.

Qianqian used her palms to block the fireball, but Xiaotang controlled the fireball with her mouth. Her hands were still free, and two sparks, under Xiaotang's control, shot towards Qianqian from the left and right like meteors, extremely fast.

With both hands on the fireball, Qianqian couldn't spare any to defend herself and had no choice but to dodge to the side. However, Xiaotang wasn't about to let the opportunity slip by so easily and used both hands to control the fireball to keep up the chase.

Qianqian flew into the air, with no way to avoid it, and it seemed that she was doomed to die, but tears welled up in her eyes.

Chapter Ninety-Two: The Final Mystery

Lin Yaoxie couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to help Qianqian, but Huanye stopped him again, saying:

"Let her say her final goodbye."

As Qianqian dodged, the two belts around her waist fluttered up, perfectly blocking the flames. The precision of her calculation and the ingenuity of her movements were unexpected even by a seasoned veteran like Lin Yaoxie.

Not only that, Qianqian's two belts fluttered and swayed, and two balls of fire flew swiftly and incomparably towards Xiaotang.

Xiao Tang never expected Qian Qian to have such a move. He was stunned for a moment. Before he knew it, two balls of green flame had shot towards him. Xiao Tang hurriedly jumped up, and a ball of flame whistled past his feet.

However, as Qianqian's belt fluttered, the force was different, and although the two flames seemed to return at the same speed, one came first and the other last.

Although Xiao Tang leaped up and dodged the first firework, the second flame arrived at his feet just as he landed. Xiao Tang was in mid-air and had no way to avoid it, so he landed squarely on the second firework.

The poisonous flames instantly spread across Xiao Tang's body. Before she could even cry out, she was burned to a pile of bones.

Qianqian stepped forward, and with a gentle wave of her left hand, the horrifying skeletons scattered in the wind.

Lin Yaoxie was stunned by what he saw and didn't know why for a moment.

817 Qianqian bowed to Lin Yaoxie and said:

"You flatter me, sir."

At this moment, Xuejian and Longkui heard the sounds of fighting and rushed over, but they did not see what had happened.

Qianqian said:

"It's still early. If you're not in a hurry to go to bed, please listen to me tell you a story."

Qianqian poured tea for Lin Yaoxie and the others, and said sadly:

"Xiao Tang is, after all, a tiger demon who is only a hundred years old. Her ideas are too naive."

Qianqian took a sip of tea and continued:
