Chapter 678: The Furious Eight-Tailed Fox

Chapter 678: Chapter 678: The Furious Eight-Tailed Fox

The chaotic battlefield was filled with the clamor of crows and bone crows clashing. Explosions echoed around, flames soared, and a chilling cold permeated the air. Amidst the chaos, only Zhong Shan, Wang Ku, Gui Shou, Wu Huan, and Lu Guatian stood undisturbed by the crows.

"Retreat!" Wu Huan's voice, though not loud, carried to every crow's ear.

"Caw...caw...caw..." The crows let out a series of cries, flapped their wings, and flew outwards. The bone crows did not pursue them but instead landed gently on the ground, turning back into dust and soil.

The surroundings suddenly became much quieter.

"Rumble..." A sudden explosion echoed in the sky. A bolt of lightning struck down from the heavens in the distance. More and more lightning bolts began to fall from the sky, countless in number, descending rapidly like rain. In an instant, they formed a massive dome around everyone present.

The scene was incredibly spectacular!

Everyone's pupils contracted as they looked towards Zhong Shan, recognizing that he had triggered the "Heavenly Thunder Transformation."

Heavenly Thunder Transformation created countless bolts of lightning, sealing the area into a closed space. While these lightning bolts posed no threat to the three Heavenly Extreme Realm experts, they effectively blocked any external view. The raging lightning could even destroy spiritual senses attempting to penetrate the barrier.

Seeing this, Gui Shou and Wu Huan exchanged a peculiar look. What was Zhong Shan planning?

"Do you think you two can keep us here?" Lu Guatian said with a strange expression.

Though Zhong Shan's cultivation level was unclear, it was evident that he was only at the Imperial Extreme Realm. And with that level of cultivation, he thought he could hold back three Heavenly Extreme Realm experts? Ridiculous!

Taking a deep breath, Zhong Shan smiled faintly, "All three of you are severely injured, correct?"

"So what?" Lu Guatian sneered.

"Hand over Wu Jiutian, and I will let you leave safely," Zhong Shan said firmly.

"Let us leave? Hahaha..." Wu Huan laughed incredulously, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. "Do you think you can stop us? I could crush you with a single finger!"

"Wu Jiutian is at the mouth of the volcano. If you have the ability, come and take her," Gui Shou sneered.

Lu Guatian frowned. He had studied Zhong Shan and knew him to be a man of deep cunning, never doing anything he wasn't confident about. Last time, even with three Heavenly Extreme Realm experts, the Absolute Immortal Sword, an immortal artifact ice mountain, and the personal intervention of the Divine Crow Daojun, Zhong Shan had still managed to escape unscathed. This time, with such bravado, did he have another trick up his sleeve?

"Hmph!" Zhong Shan sneered, knowing that further words would be futile.

Suddenly, Gui Shou, Wu Huan, and Lu Guatian's pupils shrank, their eyes flashing with a strange light.

Behind Zhong Shan, a massive tail emerged, a huge, bright red fox tail shooting up into the sky, causing the surrounding space to tremble.

"A fox?" Gui Shou exclaimed in surprise.

"Boom!" Seven more enormous tails shot into the sky, a total of eight tails swaying in the air, making the space quiver. The sight was overwhelmingly powerful.

An eight-tailed fox?

It quickly turned its head, and its adorable little eyes narrowed, emitting a cold light. Despite its cute appearance, a fierce expression added an unusual charm. During this brief moment, the enormous volcano had already been digested by the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail.

"Poof!" The Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail spat out a red figure—it was Wu Jiutian. Not only had it digested the volcano, but it had also dissolved the golden birdcage imprisoning Wu Jiutian.

"Eeyah, eeyah!" The Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail let out two adorable yet fierce cries, rushing toward Wu Huan.

Wu Jiutian was free? Wu Jiutian was rescued?

In an instant, Lu Guatian and the others sensed something was wrong.

"Hahaha, Lu Guatian, you didn't expect this, did you?" Wu Jiutian suddenly laughed wildly.

Lu Guatian's face darkened immediately, and Gui Shou's expression turned grim as well.

"Zhong Shan, thank you. I will personally deal with Lu Guatian!" Wu Jiutian shouted.

Suddenly, Wu Jiutian staggered, almost falling. Her face twisted in pain as the character "幺" reappeared on her forehead.

"Damn it!" Wu Jiutian cursed herself.

"Deal with me? Today is your death day. You two, hold off that monster. I'll personally take care of Wu Jiutian. Even if we can't capture her, she must not live!" Lu Guatian shouted, charging at Wu Jiutian with his longsword.

"Keep an eye on Gui Shou," Zhong Shan said calmly.

"Yes!" Wang Ku responded immediately, shooting towards Gui Shou.

As Wang Ku approached, Gui Shou conjured a massive shield in front of him, towering like a mountain, pressing down on Wang Ku.

Wang Ku extended his skeletal claw, and from it, a giant bronze throne emerged, growing larger until it stood a thousand feet tall. The throne exuded an aura of utmost darkness and evil, freezing the volcano below it as it collided with Gui Shou's shield.

"Boom!" A tremendous explosion ensued as the shield and the bronze throne clashed, shaking the space around them. The powerful spatial disturbance caused everything to quiver, and at the point of impact, a small black hole appeared.

Realizing the danger, Gui Shou swiftly retreated, with Wang Ku in close pursuit.

Meanwhile, Wu Jiutian, having suppressed her headache, charged at Lu Guatian, who believed he could kill her, and rushed to meet her.

The final battleground was naturally the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail.

The Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail, after revealing its adorable yet fierce expression, charged straight at Wu Huan. Its eight massive tails created waves of spatial distortion. Its enormous mouth lunged at Wu Huan.

Wu Huan prepared for battle, his eyes cold as he rapidly struck the massive Soul-Falling Bell.

"Dong, dong, dong!" The powerful sonic waves collided with the frequency of the eight tails, causing increasing spatial ripples around them.

"Eeyah, eeyah, eeyah!" The Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail opened its massive mouth, biting toward Wu Huan.
