As he moved, the longsword hanging at his waist seemed to sense its master's will and suddenly hummed.
Ancient rune-like patterns faintly appeared on the scabbard, emitting a faint blue light in the sunlight.
A clear, resonant sound, like a dragon's roar, rang out. With a flick of his wrist, a cold glint instantly pierced the void.
It was a long sword as black as ink, but at this moment, the entire sword seemed to be infused with endless power, and its surface shone with a dazzling silver-white light.
The radiance was so real that it seemed to create a slight breeze as it flowed, as dazzling and brilliant as a falling star.
Wei Changxuan's eyes hardened, and he took a step forward, his sword flashing down.
With the force of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, it slashed fiercely at the talisman in mid-air.
In an instant, a magnificent sword aura tore through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound.
The sword energy was like a silver snake soaring through the air, moving so fast that its trajectory was almost impossible to track.
The next instant, a crisp "snap" was heard, and the golden talisman that was originally floating in the air was cleaved in two without any suspense.
The cracked talisman then burst forth with dazzling golden light, burning away like shredded paper, turning into tiny sparks and dissipating into the air...
Chapter 100 Xu Pingfeng's Shock, the Nine-Tailed Fox Princess Appears!
"Xu Pingfeng, your methods are nothing special!"
Wei Changxuan's tone was extremely cold, and every word was like a blade piercing into one's heart.
He stood still, sword lowered, but showed no sign of letting up.
The light on the sword gradually faded, but it still exuded a chilling sharpness.
His eyes, like those of a hawk, stared directly at Xu Pingfeng, a hint of mockery and disdain hidden deep within his pupils.
This expression is like watching a clown who is trying to struggle but is destined to fail.
Xu Pingfeng's face suddenly darkened, and his brows furrowed.
A fleeting glint of barely concealed anger and panic crossed his eyes.
He never expected that his masterpiece, the high-level talisman he had painstakingly crafted, would be so easily defeated by Wei Changxuan!
Not only that, the opponent didn't even move an inch, completely shattering him with a single sword strike.
That overwhelming gap in strength stirred up a storm within him.
However, as a powerful figure, Xu Pingfeng was not someone to be trifled with.
Despite being shocked by Wei Changxuan's strength, he quickly composed himself.
He clenched his teeth, his facial muscles contorting with rage.
He took a deep breath, quickly formed hand seals, and began chanting complex incantations.
A strange black mist gathered in his palm.
The vague outline of some kind of evil creature was forming. Clearly, this was another, more powerful spell.
However, no matter how hard Xu Pingfeng tried to use new moves, the result remained unchanged.
Every attack was easily neutralized by Wei Changxuan before it could even take effect.
Whether it was a poisonous fog spreading everywhere or a thunderous hidden weapon, it was all neutralized by the opponent's seemingly casual block or thrust.
Wei Changxuan's behavior suggested that he didn't take these attacks seriously at all.
The effortless demeanor creates a misleading impression on the viewer:
This isn't a battle; it's clearly a game!
Just as the situation was beginning to show a one-sided bias,
A melodious yet provocative laugh suddenly echoed from the sky:
"Hehehe, Xu Pingfeng, did you ask for my opinion before you bullied my young master Wei?"
This sentence struck like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone.
At the same time, the clouds above everyone's heads suddenly parted, revealing a clear blue sky.
Then, a fiery red figure, leaving afterimages,
Descending gracefully from the sky, her robes fluttering, she seemed like a banished immortal descending to earth.
With a light and graceful footstep, the uninvited guest landed steadily beside Wei Changxuan.
Her figure was graceful and slender, and her bright red dress swayed in the wind, like a blooming peony displaying its brilliance.
Her skin was as white as snow, and her features were as exquisite as a work of art meticulously crafted by a sculptor.
Those phoenix eyes gleamed with a clever and cunning light, as if they could see through all the truths.
Most strikingly, nine lifelike fox tails floated above her head.
Her crystal-clear appearance, tinged with a faint crimson fluorescence, revealed her unique identity—4.8 was none other than the legendary nine-tailed fox princess!
"The Nine-Tailed Fox Princess?!"
Xu Pingfeng's expression completely changed; his previous confident demeanor vanished entirely.
Instead, their faces were filled with horror and disbelief.
He stared blankly at this powerful being who had suddenly appeared, and for a moment he forgot to continue his attack...
"How will you be here?!"
Xu Pingfeng asked in shock...
Chapter 101 Xu Pingfeng's Fear!
The nine-tailed fox princess curled her lips slightly and let out a mocking laugh.
The laughter was like a faint sound carried by the night wind through the forest, both clear and cold, yet with a hint of sharpness.
"Xu Pingfeng," she began, her tone languid yet sharp, each word sounding sarcastic.
"You think you can deal with Young Master Wei with your paltry tricks? How laughable!"
Her voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to contain a powerful force, reverberating in the air and making everything around her feel even more oppressive and tense.
Before the words were finished, the entire sky suddenly darkened, thick dark clouds quickly gathered, and lightning bolts darted through them like snakes.
Before anyone could react, a huge surge of spiritual energy erupted from the Nine-Tailed Fox Princess.
Nine enormous fox tails suddenly appeared in mid-air, each dozens of feet long, covered with fine, snow-white fur that reflected a cold, silvery glow in the sunlight.
A vibrant red light emanated from the fox tails, as dazzling as burning flames, and every inch of their texture spoke of the power they contained.
As these giant tails swung, the air was torn into pieces, and even faint popping sounds could be heard, as if the heavens and earth trembled.
The next instant, the nine fox tails swept towards Xu Pingfeng like a raging tornado, carrying an aura of destruction that inspired fear in all who beheld them.
Faced with the sudden attack, Xu Pingfeng's face turned deathly pale.
His pupils suddenly contracted, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He hurriedly bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations to cast a protective spell.
"Protect!" With a low shout, a golden protective shield instantly enveloped his entire body, radiating a dazzling light.
However, this seemingly impenetrable defensive barrier lasted for less than a breath.
It was easily shattered by the surging nine fox tails.
It collapsed like fragile glass.
Immediately afterwards, countless tremendous forces rushed straight to his chest, sending him flying backward until he crashed into a large tree and barely came to a stop.
He felt excruciating pain, as if his internal organs had shifted.
A metallic sweetness surged into his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, which splattered on the ground, staining the grass mottled.
"Xu Pingfeng, your strength is nothing special after all!"
The Nine-Tailed Fox Princess's voice rang out again, cold and ruthless, like the biting north wind in winter.
Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a deep sense of contempt and disdain.
At this moment, she was like a true deity, standing above all living beings and looking down at ants. The powerful pressure emanating from her body made the surrounding air freeze.
Xu Pingfeng knelt on the ground, barely supporting his body with his hands. His face had long since lost all color, leaving only a deathly pale complexion.
Sweat dripped from his forehead, down his nose, and onto the soil, while his eyes were filled with fear and panic.
He never expected that this legendary nine-tailed fox princess would be so powerful—
—Her attack not only exceeded his expectations, but it also left him completely defenseless!
Despite his fear, Xu Pingfeng was a cunning and experienced man, and he quickly suppressed his panic.
A sinister glint flashed in his eyes.
He suddenly raised his right hand and took out an ancient talisman.
This talisman was entirely black, its surface covered with complex and eerie patterns, and it was currently emanating a faint aura of danger.
Xu Pingfeng lifted it high, then swung it forcefully while uttering an obscure and incomprehensible incantation.
The talisman instantly glowed with a dense black light, transforming into a thick mass of darkness that completely enveloped his body.
As the light gradually faded, a chilling voice echoed from the darkness:
"Wei Changxuan, the Nine-Tailed Fox Princess, I, Xu Pingfeng, will remember this grudge!"
He will repay them a hundredfold in the future!
The sound echoed in the empty space, carrying a sense of determination and resentment, and lingered for a long time.
Then, the black light flashed and disappeared in an instant, and Xu Pingfeng's figure also vanished without a trace, leaving only a whistling wind and a few wisps of residual demonic energy.
Chapter 102 Xu Pingfeng's Disheveled Escape!
"Escape?"
The nine-tailed fox princess slowly relaxed her brow, her tone calm yet tinged with a hint of disdain.
"He really is a cowardly little man."
Her expression didn't change much as the other party fled; she remained calm and composed, though a hint of dissatisfaction still flickered in her eyes.
