Chapter 1881 (Raw 1892): Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox
The dying silver fox suddenly turned into a gigantic, towering creature with six silver tails.
A boundless aura burst out of the silver fox, shaking the skies.
Xiao Chen had already been very careful. He had used Resolving the Mundane and Thunder Dragon Nine Transformations, then even shot an arrow with the God Shadow Bow Soul Tool.
Although he did not use his Heart Flame with the God Shadow Bow this time, it was more than enough to injure Holy Venerates severely.
It was already plenty for finishing off a dying silver fox, akin to using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
However, even so, the silver fox still managed to trick Xiao Chen.
Buddhist sect Major Magic Skill, Dharmic World!
Xiao Chen’s figure wavered, and his physical body turned into a three-kilometer-tall giant. Then, he turned around, clenched his fist, and punched.
Xiao Chen’s fingers gave off thunderous crackling sounds. The force of his punch already reached twenty-five Cauldron Force. The sound shook the clouds in the sky.
He had reacted very quickly. The moment the silver fox enlarged, he executed Dharmic World, preventing himself from getting trampled to death by the other party.
However, he was still too slow. The silver fox managed to land a claw on his chest after successfully tricking him.
Then, the silver fox snatched the initiative again, continuing to attack Xiao Chen.
Ow! Ow! Ow!
Not only did the punch miss, but the other party also heavily struck Xiao Chen’s chest, causing him to breathe in sharply and clench his teeth.
The wind whistled by his ears as his body went flying back like a fired arrow.
Xiao Chen’s gigantic body, transformed by Dharmic World, reverted to its original size after this heavy strike.
“Whoosh!”
Xiao Chen retreated fifty kilometers. He knelt on one knee as he looked up. The six-tailed silver fox was incredibly huge. When looking at it, he felt very insignificant.
“Pu ci!” He vomited a mouthful of blood, his complexion paling.
“Something’s off!”
Suddenly, Xiao Chen’s eyes lit up. He discovered that while this silver fox’s aura seemed extremely horrifying, its follow-up was somewhat weak.
A final spurt of strength before collapsing!
This thought came to mind, giving the somewhat despairing Xiao Chen renewed hope.
If this silver fox had always been this strong, he would not be able to defeat the other party in his current state.
However, since it was only a final spurt, it was worth going all out and seeing who could last until the end.
“Howl!”
The six-tailed silver fox reared its head back and howled. It ferociously opened its mouth and sucked forcefully.
A strong suction pulled on the surroundings, drawing boundless Spiritual Energy into a continuously eddying whirlpool above the silver fox’s mouth.
A disk of energy formed in the center of the whirlpool above the mouth of the six-tailed silver fox. The disk turned increasingly brighter until the demon fox appeared to be swallowing the moon.
Kill!
This fox was truly ruthless. It was set on killing Xiao Chen and consuming him to make up for the injuries it suffered.
Either you die or I die!
Xiao Chen roared to the sky.
In this instant, Xiao Chen fully activated his Azure Dragon bloodline. The ancient Azure Dragon’s Dragon Might shook the surroundings.
The Dragon Might nearly turned solid, becoming a flame that surged to the clouds. Xiao Chen’s heart was icy as he sent his heavy killing intent out in all directions.
Buddhist sect’s Seven Kill Seal!
Xiao Chen gave a war cry, and his left hand moved nimbly. The killing Qi filling the air was amorphous like water. However, under the deft motion of his hand, the killing Qi in the air transformed, taking on various shapes.
It was like how a lotus flower never retained water or how the sun and moon never remained high above in the sky.
When Xiao Chen formed the Seven Kill Seal at this moment of life and death, his originally violent heart calmed down.
The Buddhist sect’s Seven Kill Seal was clearly meant to turn the killing intent filling the air even scarier. However, it also calmed Xiao Chen’s mental state, bringing him tranquility.
It was like Xiao Chen was just an observer, coldly watching the killing intent in the air and observing this battle of life and death.
“Boom!”
Feeling the sevenfold killing Qi after Xiao Chen activated his Azure Dragon bloodline, the silver fox froze momentarily. Then, it no longer dared to drag this out.
The silver fox lowered its head slightly, bared its fangs, and pointed its tails at Xiao Chen.
The luminous ball of energy plummeted to the ground like it was a bright moon, speeding towards Xiao Chen.
The bright moon lacked splendor. Everywhere it passed, it kicked up sand into the air, covering the sky and sun and spreading out in all directions for five hundred kilometers.
“Kill!”
Xiao Chen snorted coldly and drew his Tyrant Saber. Then, he focused the sevenfold killing Qi on his saber. There was no need for him to drive it for a surging saber intent to flow on the saber.
His figure flitted across the sky. Golden light flickered in his eyes. Using his Great Desolate Eon bloodline’s physique and the gathered sevenfold killing intent, he executed the Flawless Saber Technique’s Cloud Reaching Stance and the Falling Moon Stance at the same time.
Clouds in the nine heavens, the moon soaring and falling!
The saber light flickered, and Xiao Chen chopped the moon-like energy ball in half.
Moonlight scattered and crashed into the ground, blasting out hundreds of thousands of deep pits in the desert.
Craters scarred the boundless desert. The terrain experienced astonishing changes.
Die!
While Xiao Chen still had a breath and the Azure Dragon bloodline remained active, he spread out the Azure Dragon Divine Wings and swooped towards the ground, turning into a flash of bright azure light.
In the time it took for a spark to fly, blood spurt out. The six-tailed silver fox’s head flew off.
However, before Xiao Chen could land, the six towering tails of the silver fox struck him at the same time.
“Boom!”
The Azure Dragon bloodline slowly withdrew. Xiao Chen’s body returned to its normal form as he went flying from the attack.
When Xiao Chen landed, he felt the world spinning around him. The scene seemed inverted to his eyes, and his vision was blurry.
He had a splitting headache. His eyelids felt as heavy as mountains; he could not prevent them from closing.
Demon Blood Vulture, help protect me, Xiao Chen instructed in his heart.
Then, he could no longer hold up. He tumbled over and fell to the ground.
---
Three days later, when the blazing sun was high in the sky:
A mixed-gender group appeared on a rather tall sand dune about fifty thousand kilometers away.
When these people climbed up the sand dune and looked down, they were all stunned silly.
“This…”
Many huge pits spanning tens of kilometers appeared before them in the boundless desert.
The area for fifty thousand kilometers out was pocked with craters, terrifying killing intent, and the aura of a ferocious beast.
The terrain was unrecognizable, with deep pits dotting the ground.
The sight deeply shocked everyone.
“A Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox!”
Someone in the group practiced an Eye Technique and had extraordinary vision. When he saw the Six-Tailed Silver Fox’s huge body, he showed an extremely startled expression.
“A Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s corpse?”
The moment this person said that, the expressions of the group of cultivators changed somewhat.
Six-Tailed Heavenly Foxes were overlord-class ferocious beasts at the Star-Venerate level. Normal Holy Venerates would find one hard to defeat. It was undoubtedly the tyrant of this area.
More importantly, these Six-Tailed Heavenly Foxes were very crafty and very difficult to kill.
When a Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox ran into something stronger than it, it would not appear at all. However, when it targeted something weaker than it, it never failed before.
There was a saying in the desert.
When you see the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox, you are already dead.
There was no need to think any further. Since one could discover the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox, the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox must have allowed that to happen.
However, at this moment, a Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s corpse appeared before them.
Furthermore, there were fifty thousand kilometers of desert scarred with deep pits. This was very shocking.
Could someone have fought an intense battle with the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox and killed it?
Or was this a trick of the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox? After all, it was famed for its cunning.
“Senior Sister Tang, Senior Brother Deng, there is another corpse there!”
At this moment, the cultivator who cultivated an Eye Technique said something else startling.
The leaders, a man and a woman, exchanged looks, surprise in their eyes.
This was a group of Dragon Race cultivators. They all had a Dragon Race bloodline and came from the same sect. They were here on experiential training.
“Should we go and take a look?” the woman with the family name Tang asked the man with the family name Deng, with a certain fervor in her eyes.
The corpse of a Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox was worth cities; its value was immeasurable.
The woman simply did not expect to find such a harvest while leading her juniors on experiential training.
This was truly a surprise.
The woman’s name was Tang Dan. She looked sweet-tempered with a gentle nature. However, she was cautious in the way she did things.
Tang Dan did not let down her guard because of the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s corpse.
“Junior Brother Deng, the two of us should go and check it out first. We can get the juniors to come over if there is no danger. What do you think?” Tang Dan asked the man with the family name Deng.
“Sure.”
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The two pushed off with their feet, moving like roaming dragons as they flew over the surface of the desert.
The bodies of the two rubbed hard against the air, the friction burning their protective Veritable Essence Energy. From a distance, they looked like two fire roaming dragons crossing the ground.
The two moved very quickly, like long rainbows.
After about seven minutes, the two landed beside the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox. They showed grave expressions.
“It really is the corpse of a Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox!”
What the two saw was real. At this moment, they could clearly feel the remnant aura and resentful thoughts of the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox. This was quite unbelievable.
“Senior Sister Tang, look at the wound on its neck!”
The man with the family name Deng pointed at the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox. When he saw the clean cut on the fox’s neck, his expression changed slightly.
“What a fast saber strike!” Tang Dan exclaimed when she saw it.
This saber strike was extremely fast and sharp, containing a puissant saber intent.
A particular scene appeared in Tang Dan’s mind.
A bladesman in the darkness held a saber, flying through the air, the saber in his hand radiating a sharp saber intent and materializing a saber light that lit up the dark night.
The saber light flashed, and the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s head flew off in the next moment.
The man with the family name Deng released the all-clear signal, so the other Dragon Race cultivators rushed over.
Upon seeing the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s corpse, the other cultivators all gasped in surprise.
“Senior Sister Tang, this person seems to be still alive.”
Right then, someone discovered that Xiao Chen was not dead. His breath was just extremely weak and nigh unnoticeable.
“What?!”
Tang Dan’s figure flashed as she had the others move back. Then, she looked at Xiao Chen’s pale face.
Xiao Chen showed no signs of life at all; he really did not seem alive.
“Let me take a look.”
Tang Dan remained cautious as she carefully walked over. Then, she placed her hand on Xiao Chen’s wrist to feel his pulse.
