A cloud of red smoke flew out from the woman's sleeve. Feng Yunshu and Xiaoling smelled a strong stench of fox from the smoke at the same time!
Feng Yunshu and Xiaoling's hearts skipped a beat. They quickly exchanged a look and saw shock in each other's eyes.
The next second, what emerged from the smoke left them even more dumbfounded.
Under the smoke was the form of a fox. Moreover, this fox's fur color was almost the same as Xiaoling's, except that there was no tuft of flame on its forehead like Xiaoling's, so it looked rather ordinary.
However, even so, Feng Yunshu and Xiaoling were still extremely shocked.
"Xiaoling, there's actually another spiritual fox here? Who on earth is this red - robed woman? Last time when you were guarding the First Lady's door, you said you saw a spiritual fox. Could it be this one?"
Xiaoling stared intently at the spiritual fox in front of her and slowly nodded with a solemn expression. "It's probably really it! The smell is almost exactly the same as the one I smelled last time."
Feng Yunshu thought Xiaoling's reaction was a bit strange. "Xiaoling, does this spiritual fox have any kinship with you?"
Xiaoling looked at it and was silent for a while. "I'm not sure yet if it belongs to our Fox Clan. With the passage of time, the spiritual foxes in our clan have become rarer and rarer. I remember once hearing from other spiritual foxes that a spiritual fox in the clan went missing. I wonder if it's this one in front of us..."
Just as Feng Yunshu and Xiaoling were feeling puzzled, the spiritual fox in front of them suddenly grew several times larger. Its eyes changed from forest - green to scarlet, and it charged forward with a burst of killing intent to launch an attack.
Feng Yunshu and Xiaoling's hearts tightened, and they immediately dodged the attack.
"Xiaoling, this spiritual fox doesn't seem normal. It seems to have had its mind controlled. After all, it's your fellow clan member, so I'm not sure how to deal with it. What do you think is the appropriate way?"
Xiaoling rarely frowned. She really didn't know how to deal with this little fox that might be her fellow clan member for a moment.
But this little spiritual fox was too aggressive. In a blink of an eye, it pounced again, baring its teeth at Xiaoling and releasing a powerful spiritual energy attack. Xiaoling had no choice but to dodge again. But after several times, if she continued like this, she wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
While the spiritual fox was attacking, the red - robed woman took out a bone flute from her sleeve and put it to her lips to start playing.
With the melody played by the woman, the attack power of the little spiritual fox seemed to increase several times. Its attack speed and strength both increased rapidly, and Xiaoling, because of her restraint, was gradually at a disadvantage.
When Feng Yunshu heard this melody, her heart skipped a beat. She remembered the sharp flute sound that suddenly drilled into her mind on the long street not long ago...
That's right, the flute sound she heard at that time should be the bone flute sound played by this red - robed woman in front of her!
Feng Yunshu was even more certain of her guess. This person must be connected to the First Lady, and might even be a member of the so - called Miaojiang tribe.
Seeing her Xiaoling being bullied, Feng Yunshu didn't want to attack the little spiritual fox, so she could only focus on the bone flute in the red - robed woman's hand.
The tune played by this bone flute was obviously controlling the little spiritual fox. She must destroy this woman's bone flute!
Thinking of this, Feng Yunshu had already mobilized her spiritual energy, leaped up from the ground, and released a burst of spiritual energy towards the bone flute in the woman's hand. The red - robed woman quickly reacted, turned around, and dodged the spiritual light.
Feng Yunshu continued to attack the red - robed woman. She continuously gathered spiritual energy balls in her hand and threw them at the woman. This woman was really skilled. She dodged them all very quickly and remained unscathed.
Feng Yunshu shifted her gaze to the gravel and leaves on the ground. She gathered spiritual energy again and manipulated a whirlwind. The wind became stronger and stronger, rolling up all the gravel and leaves on the ground. It was like countless darts swirling towards the red - robed woman, surrounding her.
The red - robed woman waved her sleeve, and countless strange - looking gu worms with a strange glow flew out of her cuff. These strange worms quickly formed a chrysalis that wrapped around the red - robed woman, protecting her from Feng Yunshu's spells.
Xiaoling was still in a fight on the side. Feng Yunshu had already consumed her spiritual energy in advance. Now all the spells she released were resolved by this woman. Moreover, her spells couldn't directly act on people. Feng Yunshu was a bit anxious for a moment.
On the side, Xiaoling was hit several times by the little spiritual fox's claws. Blood was oozing from her fur, and her spiritual energy was almost suppressed. She was in a very sorry state.
No, if this continued, something would happen to Xiaoling!
Feng Yunshu leaped up from the ground and looked up at the pitch - black night sky. She didn't know where this red - robed woman got such great skills. In this case, she could only use her ultimate move to deal with this person directly!
Having made up her mind, Feng Yunshu began to chant a spell. Her hands quickly formed a complex magic seal. "In the boundless darkness, heaven and earth are in a daze. The great star on high can change and respond without pause. Drive away evil spirits and bind demons, protect life and body. Thunder God and Lightning Mother, execute without mercy..."
When Xiaoling heard Feng Yunshu chant this spell, she was shocked and suddenly shouted to interrupt Feng Yunshu. "Master, don't! If you activate the heavenly thunder like this, you will surely exhaust your spiritual energy. Your body simply can't bear it! Stop quickly!"
While Xiaoling was distracted, a very sharp and ear - piercing flute sound suddenly burst out from the chrysalis. The little spiritual fox opposite's eyes burst out with strong killing intent. It gathered all its spiritual energy and slapped Xiaoling hard.
Seeing that Xiaoling was about to be hit, Feng Yunshu's eyes tightened. She immediately teleported forward to block this fatal blow -
"Pfft..."
The moment she was hit by the paw, Feng Yunshu trembled all over. She spat out a mouthful of scalding scarlet blood. The color instantly faded from her face. She felt as if all her internal organs had been smashed. Her body was in so much pain that it was numb. She could only let her body fall rapidly like a broken puppet doll.
"Master!" Xiaoling rushed over like crazy and caught Feng Yunshu's hit body firmly. She was shaking all over in fear and kept shouting Feng Yunshu's name. "Master, what's wrong with you... Master, don't scare me! Don't scare Xiaoling!"
At the same time, the controlled little spiritual fox still intended to further attack the two of them. It opened its blood - red mouth wide and wanted to bite off Feng Yunshu's neck -
Just then, an arrow flew out with the momentum of tearing everything apart. It pierced into the little spiritual fox's paw with a thud, directly penetrating the spiritual fox's paw. The little spiritual fox let out a pained howl. Its scarlet eyes seemed to regain some clarity, and then it shrank back to its original form and fell directly to the ground.
Seeing this, the red - robed woman's heart skipped a beat. She looked up in the direction from which the arrow flew. She saw a silver - white dragon hovering in the night sky. Standing on the dragon was clearly Helan Yanting in a black robe, holding a longbow. A faint black mist surrounded his body. He looked down at the red - robed woman coldly with a domineering look that looked down on all things.
"You dare to touch someone of mine. You're seeking death."
The powerful coercion released when Helan Yanting slightly parted his thin lips made the red - robed woman tremble with fear. After seeing clearly who it was, her eyes were full of shock. "You... You're that sickly prince?! It's impossible. You're not him! Who on earth are you?!"
"Humph, do you think you're worthy of knowing my identity?"
Saying this, the white dragon under Helan Yanting suddenly let out a long howl. It was like a thunderbolt and rushed towards the red - robed woman at high speed. At the same time, a black lightning bolt gathered in Helan Yanting's palm -
