"When did I ever ask you to do such things?"
A cold and deep voice came from above the red fox's head. It was Zhu Shan. "If you dare to touch her again, you'll be against me. If you're not afraid of death, just give it a try."
Hearing this, the red fox was both anxious and angry, gnashing her silver teeth so hard that they made cracking sounds.
"Master, how could you treat the red fox like this? In order to help you resurrect this morning, the red fox has whole - heartedly dedicated herself. She even endured humiliation and stayed in this extremely loathsome imperial palace..."
"Don't be so self - conceited. Just take good care of yourself."
Just now, in order to enter the illusion, this wisp of Zhu Shan's soul had consumed a great deal of spiritual power. After just a few words, it turned into a wisp of black mist and floated back into the container of the formation set up by the red fox.
When Feng Yunshu's vision cleared, she saw the red fox glaring at her with red - rimmed eyes, exuding a murderous aura all over her body.
"Vixen, were you the one who arranged those assassins who tried to kill me several times before?"
"Hehe, so what if it was me?"
"You claim to have powerful magic, but you don't dare to confront me head - on. You only know how to scheme in the dark. What kind of hero is this? I think you should stop calling yourself the red fox and change your name to the shrinking - head fox instead."
Xiaoling nodded in agreement and mocked on the side, "The shrinking - head fox. This is quite a new species. Hehe... It's really appropriate."
"You're just a yellow - haired girl. How dare you talk to this fox immortal like this? If it weren't for..." The red fox was enraged. She released all her aura, and her body was wrapped in flames.
Anyway, the Demon Lord wouldn't be able to resurrect for a while. Before that, she would first get rid of this dead girl and completely grind her bones to ashes. In this way, even if the Demon Lord resurrected, it would be of no avail.
"You're such an annoying yellow - haired girl. As long as I kill you, the Demon Lord will surely see the red fox's goodness!"
After saying this, the red fox had completely thrown Zhu Shan's warning to the back of her mind. She spat out a raging flame from her mouth, aiming straight at Feng Yunshu's vital point.
"Xiaoling!"
"Got it!"
Xiaoling immediately rushed forward and spat out flames at the same time. Feng Yunshu quickly formed hand seals with both hands to strengthen this flame. The already powerful flame became even more powerful. The red - colored flame gradually emitted a blue - purple light.
This strengthening skill was developed through the cooperation of Feng Yunshu and Xiaoling, and it had proven effective many times.
Sure enough, after this move was used, the red fox's flame seemed inferior to this blue - purple flame and was clearly being forced back.
"These are just petty tricks. This fox immortal will show you today what the real demon fox's heavenly fire is!"
As the red fox spoke, a stronger red light emanated from her body. She quickly recited some incantations, then raised her hands to the sky. Suddenly, the clear sky was covered with dark clouds, and a strong wind began to blow.
In the distance, the rumbling sound of thunder could be faintly heard. The whole sky seemed to grow a huge leaf, and the veins of this leaf were streaks of heavenly thunder.
Seeing this, Feng Yunshu was extremely shocked and full of doubts. "How... How could a person from the Demon Realm summon heavenly thunder?!"
Xiaoling looked up intently for a while and quickly came to a conclusion. "Master, take a closer look. This is not heavenly thunder. It's just the fox fire in the form of thunder."
As Xiaoling said this, Feng Yunshu also noticed something strange about this "heavenly thunder". At first glance, it seemed that the red fox had summoned thunder, but upon closer inspection, the thunder in the sky was actually composed of clusters of cyan fox fire.
These sky - blue fox fires rushed forward quickly along the "heavenly thunder" and finally gathered into a huge fireball and fell down.
After seeing through this trick, Feng Yunshu couldn't help but curl her lips and sneer.
"These days, even fakes are so arrogant. There's even a fake version of heavenly thunder. It really broadens my horizons."
"You ignorant yellow - haired girl. How dare you underestimate this fox immortal's heavenly fire. Soon you'll pay the price for your words!"
Feng Yunshu curled her lips and sneered. "What demon fox's heavenly fire, what rumbling heavenly thunder. I advise you to go back to your deep mountains and old forests and practice for a few more years before you come out to scare people with these fake tricks."
After saying this, Feng Yunshu frowned, looking at the red fox with a solemn and murderous expression. "Today, this celestial maiden will open your eyes!"
"Xiaoling, it's time to use our ultimate move."
"Yes, ma'am!"
The red mark on Xiaoling's forehead suddenly flashed a dazzling red light. Then she completely restored her true form, a huge nine - tailed red fox.
After transforming, Xiaoling turned to look at Feng Yunshu. Feng Yunshu nodded to signal, and then began to form hand seals to set up a formation. A six - pointed star formation gradually emerged around her body, and a faint fluorescent light emanated from her whole body.
"Xiaoling, the time has come."
Feng Yunshu suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Xiaoling. Xiaoling turned around and quickly leaped towards the formation.
The red fox didn't know what kind of formation Feng Yunshu and Xiaoling were setting up. The fox fire was about to fall. Before the red fox could even be happy, she saw that the red light on Xiaoling's body in the formation actually merged with the blue light on Feng Yunshu's body.
Then, something that shocked the red fox greatly happened. Feng Yunshu's figure turned into a blue light and completely merged with Xiaoling. At the same time, the red light on Xiaoling's body became even more dazzling, almost blinding people's eyes.
"This... This is..."
The red fox stammered and said in a flustered voice, "This is actually the long - lost ancient secret technique. The spell - caster and the spiritual beast merge into one, and the spiritual power of the spiritual beast will increase dozens of times!"
The red fox had only seen the Demon Lord use this kind of fusion formation once before. Since then, she hadn't seen it for a long time...
After the master and servant merged, Xiaoling gathered enough spiritual power and spat out the real heavenly fire from her mouth. This heavenly fire once again caused the rumbling of heavenly thunder. But this time, the rumbling of heavenly thunder was not a fake. It was the real heavenly thunder!
The fake heavenly thunder fox fire could only tremble in front of the real heavenly thunder fox fire. The red fox didn't even have time to let out a scream before she and her fake heavenly thunder fox fire were instantly swallowed up.
Feng Yunshu originally wanted to completely destroy the red fox's soul so that she would never have the chance to do evil again. However, just then, the red fox suddenly said, "If I am completely destroyed today, the Demon Lord will never be able to resurrect!"
The Demon Lord?!
Feng Yunshu's heart skipped a beat. Because of the soul - merging with Xiaoling, she consciously retracted the fox fire. In the end, the fox fire still didn't defeat the red fox.
"What do you mean by this?"
"I hold the Demon Lord's demon soul in my hand. If I die, this wisp of his demon soul will quickly vanish into thin air. Then, there will be no possibility for the Demon Lord to resurrect."
The red fox covered her chest, wiped the blood flowing from the corner of her lips, and then raised her eyebrows and threatened Feng Yunshu arrogantly.
"Don't you have deep feelings for our Demon Lord? The Demon Lord has done so many things for you and protected you everywhere. Do you really want him to become a wandering soul in this other - world continent, never to be resurrected or reincarnated?"
The red fox's words made Feng Yunshu couldn't help but think of everything that had happened in the illusion not long ago. That person, the Demon Lord Zhu Shan who looked exactly like Helan Yanting...
Taking advantage of Feng Yunshu's moment of distraction, the red fox propped up her remaining demon soul. With a sweep of her tail, she turned into a faint red light and quickly disappeared into the sky.
Before disappearing, she left a harsh threat. "Feng Yunshu, just you wait. I, this fox immortal, will surely make you pay a thousand - fold for today's enmity!"
Feng Yunshu looked blankly at the place where the red fox had disappeared. Because of the great consumption of using this ultimate move, her consciousness gradually faded. Her vision went black, and she seemed to be a kite with a broken string, falling down.
"Little junior sister!"
