In an instant, a chilling sensation surged up Chen Yan’s spine! He immediately turned his head to glance at Mrs. He, who was not far away in the room...
Mrs. He was unaware, slightly squinting her eyes. She quickly flicked a piece of talisman paper in her hand, which burned to ashes. With a sword in her right hand and a sword technique in her left, she muttered some incantation, the specifics of which remained unknown.
Chen Yan’s gaze was intense, fixed on Mrs. He. Then he glanced back at the figure in the pit, wrapped in layers of primordial qi cocoons...
Suddenly, Mrs. He gave a light shout and threw her longsword into the air. At the same time, she gestured with her left hand, and the Fox Tail on the stone platform trembled, then a ball of light slowly dissipated...
The sword in midair turned into several streaks of cold light, spreading around the stone chamber’s upper space, occupying several key positions in an instant.
Meanwhile, the stone door behind him started closing slowly and silently.
At this moment, Chen Yan suddenly heard a faint, urgent, and panting voice whisper in his ear:
"How did you get here, Daoist? Run! She is a fake! She broke the formation, injured me, and trapped me here... Run! Run!"
Before Chen Yan could ponder, Mrs. He shouted loudly, "Daoist friend, be careful! I am removing the formation now!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. He raised her hand and pointed. The half Fox Tail on the stone platform suddenly had its hairs snapping, instantly withering and scattering!
All the primordial qi around was abruptly cut off, and the oppressive and suffocating feeling vanished without a trace!
At the same time, the glowing stones on the surrounding walls of the stone chamber dimmed instantly.
The sword lights moving around the room shot towards the figure in the stone pit with a whistling sound, directed by Mrs. He’s finger!
In a moment, lights entwined, and Chen Yan heard a painful scream echo in his ears.
"Daoist friend, run!!"
Everything went black before his eyes, and the room was plunged into complete darkness!
After about three seconds of darkness, the stones on the surrounding walls lit up again!
In the room, Mrs. He was seen wielding her sharp sword, fiercely battling a grey shadow!
The grey shadow turned out to be a grey-haired fox!
Mrs. He’s sword flashed with light, slashing at the fox relentlessly. The sword lights moving in the air occasionally swooped down. Every time the fox tried to escape or head towards the stone door, a sword light would slash down, preventing its escape!
As Mrs. He fought more vigorously, slashing continuously, the grey-haired fox could only rely on its sharp claws and teeth to counterattack. It was repeatedly injured by the sword, with splatters of blood staining the ground.
Eventually, the fox made a desperate strike. Mrs. He let out a painful cry, staggered back, revealing a deep bloody wound on her shoulder, almost tearing off her left arm!
The grey-haired fox pounced on her, biting her thigh fiercely! Mrs. He struggled desperately, but the fox suddenly rammed into her, sending her flying back, its head striking her chest!
Mrs. He spewed blood from her mouth, her body falling backward!
In mid-air, she swung her hand, sending her sword flying, piercing through the fox’s left thigh, pinning it to the ground!
The grey-haired fox let out a tragic scream, its voice sharp and piercing!
Staggering to her feet, Mrs. He pointed at the fox, shouting, "Daoist friend! Take action now!"
Chen Yan lifted his hand, extending a finger!
A streak of primordial qi shot out from his fingertip!
The light of the finger sword flashed momentarily, striking the sword pinning the fox’s left leg, sending it flying!
Mrs. He’s face contorted with anger, roaring, "What are you doing!!"
The fox immediately broke free, darting swiftly towards Chen Yan. In mid-air, the grey figure shouted anxiously, "Daoist friend, I’ll take you out of here!"
Seeing the grey fox rushing towards him, Mrs. He gritted her teeth, and the sword lights in mid-air vibrated, darting towards the grey fox in unison!
Instantly, the grey fox let out a sharp cry, emitting bursts of light, desperately resisting the surrounding sword lights!!
The spell seemed to consume a tremendous amount of energy, causing Mrs. He to turn pale. One by one, the sword lights shot towards the grey fox’s glow, merging and disappearing.
Mrs. He stared intently at the grey-haired fox, her body trembling violently. Her white hair fell one strand at a time... Blood slowly dripped from the corner of her mouth, her eyes filled with ferocity and hatred.
Mrs. He snarled in a hoarse voice, "Die! Die!!!"
Finally, with a sharp scream, the fox’s protective glow and the sword lights expended themselves simultaneously, dispersing.
Breathing heavily, Mrs. He cast a cold glance at Chen Yan. She leaned to the ground and slowly crawled towards a corner, pointing at him, "You... you..."
Chen Yan stepped towards the prone fox on the ground. Seeing it about to expire, it whispered, "Daoist friend... go quickly. I will hold her off..."
Chen Yan silently looked at the fox, watching it struggle to lift itself, sway, and then collapse again, crawling a few steps towards Mrs. He before falling.
Suddenly, Chen Yan went closer, looked at the fox, and whispered, "Imperial Jade Liquid Wine?"
