Chapter 722 Prologue (Part 3)
Eight-tailed demon fox.
It is rumored that fox demons can give birth to up to nine tails, and are called nine-tailed foxes.
However, no one has ever seen a nine-tailed fox demon. The most recorded one is eight-tailed, and its strength is comparable to that of a second-grade human cultivator.
Based on this speculation, the realm divisions within the fox demon clan become very clear.
One tail is equivalent to the ninth rank, and nine tails is equivalent to the first rank.
When Yang Liushi first took the Eclipse Pearl, it only contained eight hundred years of spiritual power, a little short of the "one thousand years" watershed, so she only gave birth to seven tails.
However, during the process of "melting the pearl", she borrowed the power of the fox demon's phantom and killed a man who had practiced Taoism for 600 years, so she actually absorbed one third of the latter's cultivation.
Eight hundred plus two hundred equals exactly one thousand.
In this way, Yang Liushi just met the conditions to give birth to the eighth tail.
This also means that her current strength has surpassed Liang Zhen and others in one fell swoop, becoming the only one weaker than Han Zhao in this 300,000-man army. From the fourth tail sixth grade, she directly soared to the eighth tail second grade.
Although the Eclipse Pearl is cheaper than the forehead scales of a real dragon, it is no exaggeration to say that its effect is "world-changing."
Of course, just like when Wei Changtian squandered the resources of nature and used the True Dragon Forehead Scales to break through to the third level, the effect of the Eclipse Pearl has not yet been fully utilized.
If she could save up a little more, accumulate three or four thousand years of cultivation before taking it, Yang Liushi might be able to give birth to a nine-tailed fox in one go.
But unfortunately she had no choice just now.
Facing the situation just now, taking the Eclipse Pearl is the only way to break the impasse. "Da."
The skirt fluttered and the toes lightly tapped the ground.
Just like a fairy descending from the moon, Yang Liushi's already stunning appearance seemed to become even more captivating.
The shadow of the fox demon behind him had disappeared, but the scene was deeply engraved in Wang Nianchu's mind.
Even now, no matter how narrow-minded she was, she already knew that Yang Liushi's true identity was a fox demon.
Therefore, when she watched the latter approaching her step by step, a strong fear slowly surged in her heart.
However He took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and poured out a few round pills.
Yang Liushi did not kill to silence him, but just knelt on the ground, helped Wang Nianchu up, and gently fed the pill into the latter's mouth.
"Husband, Madam. Cough! Cough cough cough!"
Feeling the warmth radiating from his dantian, Wang Nianchu widened his eyes and suddenly coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood.
"Don't talk, you're badly injured."
Yang Liushi stretched out her sleeve to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes were gentle.
"Miss Wang, you are right. I am indeed a fox demon."
"But don't tell anyone about this or what you just saw."
"Okay?"
“.”
Wang Nianchu did not say "good", let alone "bad".
She just stared at Yang Liushi blankly, not knowing what mood she was in.
At this moment, as a group of soldiers rushed into the yard, Zhang San's hurried voice finally rang in the ears of the two.
"lady!!"
"Ma'am! I'm late! How are you?!"
"Where did the thief escape to? I will lead my men to chase him now!"
"Someone come quickly! Check the lady's injuries!!"
“.”
After yelling several times, Zhang San's face turned red, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
As soon as he rushed in, he saw Yang Liushi and Wang Nianchu covered in blood. Subconsciously, he thought that both of them were injured and the assassin escaped after the assassination failed.
Fortunately, the lady is not dead, otherwise the young master would have to ...
Zhang San couldn't help but shudder when he thought about how Wei Changtian would react if Yang Liushi died.
He hurriedly rushed to Yang Liushi with several military doctors, and the latter had slowly stood up.
"Zhang San, I'm fine."
"But Miss Wang is seriously injured. Let's treat her first."
"Ah? Yes!"
At a glance from Zhang San, several military doctors immediately took out various pills and soft cloths, stepped forward and began to carefully examine Wang Nianchu's condition.
However, Zhang San didn't have time to care about these things. He just looked at the blood on Yang Liushi's body with a nervous expression.
"Ma'am, are you really okay?"
"And where did the thief escape to? I will capture him and tear him into pieces!"
"I'm really fine. These bloodstains belong to Miss Wang."
Looking at Zhang San who was gritting his teeth, Yang Liushi smiled.
"As for the assassin, he's there."
"Um?!"
In an instant, everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction of Yang Liushi's finger.
Then, they saw a pool of flesh mixed with rags and blood .
Looking at this scene, the soldiers present all widened their eyes in disbelief, with expressions ranging from astonishment, nausea, to shock.
At this moment, Yang Liushi suddenly noticed a girl whose wrists were tightly grasped by several soldiers.
"Zhang San, who is this?"
Looking at the girl with a pale face but red eyes, Yang Liushi frowned and asked Zhang San.
“Ah? Ah!”
Zhang San suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly bowed and replied:
"Madam, this little girl was sneaking around the corner just now and we happened to see her."
"I was worried that she might be involved in what happened tonight, so I arrested her first and planned to interrogate her thoroughly later."
"Really?"
Yang Liushi nodded, and then whispered to Zhang San in surprise: "Since the thief is dead, you can leave a few people to take care of Miss Wang, and the rest can go back."
"Tell General Han and General Liang that I'm fine and tell them not to come again."
"Oh, by the way, leave this little girl to me, I will ask her."
“.”
Yang Liushi's voice was not loud, but her tone was unquestionable.
Zhang San, who was afraid that Yang Liushi might encounter another accident, wanted to say something else, but when he saw the former's eyes, he couldn't say the words that were on his lips.
What's going on? Why does it feel like the lady is a little different from before? The doubt flashed through Zhang San's mind, and he hesitated for a while, but in the end he did not disobey Yang Liushi's order.
"A few of you stay with me! The rest of you go back to the camp first!"
"What are you still standing there for? Didn't you hear what the Madam said? Hurry and bring that little girl here!"
“.”
Soon, most of the soldiers withdrew from the yard, and the rest were busy cleaning up the corpses in the yard, or keeping guard everywhere.
And the girl who had not said a word from beginning to end was also brought in front of Yang Liushi.
"Madam, let's..."
"Everyone, get busy."
"yes!"
Zhang San gave a wink and immediately led the last few people out of the backyard.
In this way, only Yang Liushi and the girl were left in the dim moonlight.
Feeling that familiar breath, Yang Liushi now knew that the latter was the little fox in the mountain temple.
Therefore, her expression became somewhat complicated.
"What's your name?"
“.”
"The man who came to kill me is your father?"
“.”
"Are you here to avenge your mother?"
“.”
Yang Liushi asked three questions in a row, but the girl didn't answer a single word. She just stared at her with red eyes, and her eyes were filled with deep hatred.
"well"
With a soft sigh, Yang Liushi didn't ask any more questions.
Because “no answer” is actually the answer.
He stretched out his left hand and gently wiped the mud off the girl's face.
The next moment, Yang Liushi's pupils slowly began to become deeper, and eventually turned into the dark vertical pupils that Wang Nianchu had just seen.
“Hmm.”
The girl's body trembled, and her eyes suddenly became dull, and the hatred in her eyes faded away little by little.
It was unknown how much time had passed before she raised her head in a daze and looked at Yang Liushi in a daze.
Then, a somewhat timid yet expectant voice sounded in the dim moonlight.
“.”
"mother"
