The other two fox clan leaders, who were not far away, did not expect that the situation would take such a sudden turn for the worse.
It should be noted that Silver Frost, as the head of her clan, was one of the strongest in the fox clan, yet she was defeated by a single punch from a human who had just survived her tribulation.
If this scene hadn't actually happened before their eyes, they would have thought the world had gone mad. Otherwise, how could it be so absurd?
Du Yu's expression grew increasingly grave, a rare hint of unease appearing in his eyes. Feng Liao, meanwhile, couldn't help but swallow hard, a dry sound escaping his throat.
Knowing that Silverfrost's strength was on par with his own, yet it had been easily subdued by this human, he couldn't help but think that if he were to fight him, he would probably suffer the same fate.
At that moment, Feng Liao felt a slight urge to retreat.
On the plaza not far away, Qin Luo looked at the Silver Frost in his hand, his killing intent emanating from his eyes without any attempt to conceal it.
Enveloped by this murderous intent, Yin Shuang felt every inch of her skin being corroded by a terrifying chill. Her survival instinct instantly made her abandon all pride and dignity, and she said in a trembling voice:
"No...don't kill me! I'm willing to surrender. From now on, my Frost Moon Silver Fox lineage will obey your orders without question!" Her eyes widened, filled with terror.
"I am willing... willing to swear a blood oath that if I break my promise today, I will suffer eternal damnation!"
Hearing her plea for mercy, Qin Luo pondered for a moment. Although killing her now would establish his authority, it might not be the best choice.
Her weight was not heavy enough, and a beast soul that had not reached the Saint Realm was far from satisfying the appetite of the Primordial Ancestral Dragon.
Moreover, the issue of the quota is of utmost importance. He knows in his heart that he still needs to keep one or two key figures from the fox clan to help him stabilize the "overall situation" afterward.
Just then, Du Yu shouted, "Silver Frost, don't beg for mercy from this human! The dignity of our fox clan cannot be dishonored! Even in death, we will not submit!"
Feng Liao had already considered retreating, but upon hearing Du Yu's words, he couldn't reveal it directly. He could only remain silent, constantly weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
After all, within the fox clan, the three lineages—Shadow Poison Fox, Wind Ember Swift Fox, and Frost Moon Silver Fox—maintain a certain alliance on the surface, but in reality, they are not a monolithic entity.
Each person harbors their own ulterior motives and has their own considerations; at this critical moment, their own interests and lives are of paramount importance.
Seeing this, Qin Luo's lips curled up, and he chuckled lightly. His smile was somewhat amusing, making it impossible for anyone to fathom what he was thinking.
The hand that had been restraining Silver Frost suddenly loosened its grip.
The Silverfrost Clan Chieftain in his hand instantly collapsed to the ground with a dull thud. She gasped for breath, her chest heaving violently, looking as if she had just escaped death.
"You only get one chance. Whether you survive or not depends on your fate."
Looking down at the disheveled Silver Frost on the ground, Qin Luo spoke calmly.
Upon hearing Qin Luo's emotionless words, Yin Shuang felt a chill run down her spine, a cold sensation shooting from her toes to her head.
At this critical moment, her gaze suddenly turned to Feng Liao, a resolute look flashing in her eyes.
After all, compared to Du Yu, who had been a Saint for many years, Feng Liao was a relatively easier target to deal with. Yin Shuang understood that if she could capture Feng Liao at this moment and offer this "pledge of allegiance" to Qin Luo, she might be able to truly secure a glimmer of hope for herself.
Suddenly, she scrambled to her feet, her figure transforming into a blast of cold air as she hurtled towards Feng Liao. Feng Liao, already in a state of disarray, never expected Yin Shuang to suddenly attack him, and was caught completely off guard.
Silver Frost's spiritual energy surged wildly, and the Frost Fox Tail condensed again, grabbing towards Feng Liao's throat. However, this Frost Fox Tail was significantly weaker than before.
Feng Liao stared wide-eyed in horror as Yin Shuang suddenly launched an attack, hurriedly dodging to the side. But the attack was fierce; although he barely avoided his throat, the cold fox tail still grazed his shoulder, leaving a bloody gash that stained his clothes red.
"Silver Frost, you've gone mad!" Feng Liao shouted, both shocked and furious.
The thunderous roar shook the entire plaza, but Yinshuang paid it no heed. After her initial strike, her attacks grew even more ferocious. Her eyes were filled with madness, and every move she made carried a ruthless, all-or-nothing spirit.
"Feng Liao, in order to survive today, I have no choice but to offend you!" Yin Shuang said through gritted teeth.
Seeing this, Du Yu was both shocked and furious. "Yin Shuang, you woman's mind, how dare you commit such a betrayal!"
At that moment, he held nothing back, and the aura of a saint erupted from his body without any concealment.
"This is the first time someone has come to my door since I survived the Heavenly Tribulation. I'd like to see just how capable you humans really are!"
Du Yu roared and quickly formed hand seals. A huge purplish-black beam of light shot into the sky from his hands, carrying earth-shattering power, and slammed into Yin Shuang and Qin Luo.
Feeling the overwhelming pressure of the saint, Yinshuang's face turned deathly pale, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground again.
Even at her peak, she would have had no chance of withstanding this attack head-on.
At this moment, she could only turn to Qin Luo for help.
Looking at the purplish-black pillar of light that tore through space, Qin Luo showed no fear, and the Primordial Breath in his hand quickly covered it.
With a whooshing sound, the fist, carrying a sharp gust of wind, rushed towards the purplish-black pillar of light.
boom!
Where the fists and pillars collided, energy raged wildly, tearing up layers of soil and rocks from the plaza, which were then crushed into dust as they flew through the air.
Yin Shuang, who was right behind Qin Luo, was thrown backward by the powerful impact and crashed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
But at this moment, she couldn't care less about her own injuries. Her gaze was fixed on the point where Qin Luo clashed with the purplish-black beam of light, her heart filled with tension, for this concerned her fate.
As the light gradually faded, Qin Luo remained standing in the same spot. Although the Primordial Aura around him had dimmed somewhat, he appeared to be unharmed.
Upon seeing this, Du Yu's eyes widened, and his expression gradually changed from anger to shock.
He could hardly believe that his all-out attack had been so forcefully blocked by this human, who seemed to have suffered no serious injury.
Seeing this unexpected scene, Du Yu was both shocked and frightened. At that moment, he suddenly let out a long roar, and his aura suddenly surged.
With a flash of intense purplish-black light, Du Yu's body began to change rapidly, gradually transforming into a gigantic two-tailed Shadow Poison Fox.
After entering the Saint Realm, humans can condense a Saint's Dharma Image through cultivation, while demon beasts and divine beasts are different; they can transform into their original true form and unleash their power to the fullest.
This two-tailed Shadow Poison Fox was enormous, resembling a small hill. Its entire body was covered in jet-black fur, and every hair shimmered with an eerie purplish-black light, radiating a pressure unique to the Saint Realm.
The two thick fox tails swung wildly in the air, tearing countless tiny black cracks in the space they passed through.
