The giant python roared in pain, opening its mouth wide as if to swallow the person in front of it whole.
"court death!"
Long Qianling lightly touched the toes of his feet and quickly flew into the air, shooting a golden light at the giant python's head.
The man and the python quickly began fighting around the entire valley.
...
When Bai Qingnian opened his eyes again, he found himself in complete darkness, where he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face.
Am I... in hell?
He stood up and realized that he had somehow reverted to his original form.
Wait… his true form, could he be…?
Hearing a painful groan, Bai Qingnian looked up sharply and, through the scattered stars in the air, he could clearly see what was making the groan.
A giant black dragon?!
It really is a giant black dragon!
Bai Qingnian took several steps back in fear and hid behind the rock.
...
In Baicao Valley.
"What's going on? How did he suddenly become so strong?" The people hiding in the cave looked incredulously at Bai Qingnian, who was fighting the giant python to a standstill not far away.
What they didn't expect was that Bai Qingnian's body was now being controlled by someone else.
Long Qianling was slammed against the stone wall by a tail, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Damn it, the backlash from forcibly using divine power was indeed too great, and now I'm so weak that I was injured by a dead snake.
The backlash hadn't subsided yet, and now Long Qianling was forcibly taking control of Bai Qingnian's body, leaving her soul completely exhausted.
No, if this continues, she won't be able to hold on any longer. We have to finish this quickly.
A fierce killing intent surged in Long Qianling's golden eyes. Her gaze darkened, and she suddenly recalled the move Bai Fengfu used when she was besieged in the Abyss of Evil. Perhaps she could try it using the little fox's body.
The thought had barely formed in her mind when she used her demonic power to conjure up Bai Qingnian's nine tails.
Nine large tails with golden patterns swayed behind him. Long Qianling recalled how Bai Fengfu had made hand seals, and quickly formed hand seals in front of him.
When the giant python swung its tail at her again, Long Qianling's nine tails also stretched out.
It moved too fast, and with a powerful killing intent, it wrapped around the giant python's body.
With his body bound, the giant python struggled fiercely, and Long Qianling felt as if his tail was about to be torn off, causing him excruciating pain.
hateful!
Long Qianling gritted his teeth and completed the last hand seal.
Suddenly, a huge phantom of a nine-tailed white fox appeared above the giant python, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed the python whole.
With a loud bang, the giant python crashed to the ground. Its scales, which had originally shone with silver light, were now dull. The white fox phantom had not devoured the python's flesh, but its soul and life force.
The valley returned to calm.
Long Qianling collapsed to the ground, clutching his chest and coughing up blood.
That's... his mother's Soul Devouring Technique! How could he know it? How could a mere illegitimate son like him know his mother's Soul Devouring Technique!?
Bai Shaoheng stared intently at Bai Qingnian, who was coughing up blood not far away, his eyes filled with jealousy and confusion.
Long Qianling took a while to recover before slowly standing up from the ground, walking to the giant python's side, reaching out to dig out its inner core from its abdomen, and then throwing it directly into his mouth.
"What are you doing?!"
She had just swallowed the inner core when Bai Shaoheng led a group of people over.
"Nineteen, why did you keep the inner core all to yourself?" Bai Shaoheng looked at him, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.
Long Qianling lazily glanced up at him and sneered, "I killed the giant python, so its inner core is naturally mine!"
"That was for my mother, how could you..." Bai Shaoheng started to say, but tears streamed down his face. He could only sob and stammer as he struggled to finish his sentence.
Those who entered the valley with him were not only his demon servants, but also several other disciples under the Qingqiu elders.
Upon seeing Bai Shaoheng crying with tears streaming down his face, she immediately felt heartbroken and rushed over to reprimand Long Qianling.
"What's wrong with you! The Second Prince was only trying to help the Fox Emperor, why are you speaking to him so harshly!"
"That's right, that's right! Don't think you can keep the inner core for yourself just because you killed the giant python. We were the ones who injured that python first!"
"Spit out your inner core!"
Bai Shaoheng watched this scene with a smug look in his eyes.
He originally thought his younger brother was just an ordinary little good-for-nothing, but he never expected that his brother had been hiding his true strength.
If his mother heard about his use of the Soul Devouring Technique, his position would be in jeopardy.
After all, her mother valued not only bloodline but also talent.
The fact that Bai Shijiu could use the Soul Devouring Technique meant that his talent surpassed his own, and he absolutely would not allow himself to be trampled underfoot by a mere illegitimate son.
Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of him and prevent future troubles.
Long Qianling frowned deeply, looking coldly at the several women in front of her who were red with anger, feeling extremely annoyed.
She just consumed the inner core and needs to find a place to refine it; she doesn't have time to waste talking nonsense with them here.
"Then you can all die too!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Long Qianling's aura suddenly changed, and a powerful pressure swept towards the people opposite him.
A golden divine mark suddenly appeared on Bai Qingnian's forehead. Bai Shaoheng saw it and his face was full of disbelief.
This is... the Dragon God Seal... How could this be?!
"You think you're worthy to try and steal from me!"
Long Qianling tilted his head back slightly, curled his lips into a cold smile, raised his hand and grabbed the necks of the people who had just made those outrageous remarks, lifting them into the air.
"Let...let go..."
"Heh~"
Long Qianling chuckled softly, slowly closing his fingers. Several loud popping sounds were heard, and a few beautiful blood flowers exploded in mid-air.
Bai Shaoheng lay on the ground and looked up at the person in front of him. Through Bai Qingnian's harmless face, he seemed to see another person.
"Long, Long Qianling..." he couldn't help but murmur.
Long Qianling lowered her eyes to meet his gaze, raised an eyebrow at him, and said teasingly, "You actually recognized me."
Bai Shaoheng stared wide-eyed at her in disbelief: "It really is you..."
"So what if it's me? You're going to die soon anyway." Long Qianling slowly walked towards him, a faint smile still on her lips.
Bai Shaoheng's neck was suddenly grabbed, and he began to have difficulty breathing.
"Long, Long Qianling... let go, let go..."
He reached out and gripped Long Qianling's wrist tightly, trying to remove her hand.
"I won't let go—"
A cold glint flashed in Long Qianling's golden eyes, and he suddenly increased the force in his hand.
She has always hated red foxes the most, especially the descendants of Bai Fengfu.
That damned fox actually wanted to steal her inner core; he was practically courting death. So she might as well grant his wish.
