Having said that, the pheasant spirit flapped its wings, its flight speed suddenly increased, and in the blink of an eye, it flew over the crowd and pounced in front of Tong Su.
Its two claws, like steel hooks, viciously clawed down at Tong Su's face!
The crowd roared in anger and despair, yet they were powerless to stop it. They could only close their eyes in unbearable pain, unable to watch the beautiful little girl being torn apart alive by the pheasant spirit.
"Aaaaaahh ...
A agonizing scream rang out, and everyone felt a pang of sorrow, almost bringing tears to their eyes. Such a lovely little girl had been eaten alive by a pheasant right before their eyes—damned demons! These vicious demons!
"You bastard! You dare hurt me? You bitch, I'll kill you—ahhh, spare me! No, don't cut off my wings! You, how could you be a Golden Immortal?! Waaah, fairy, I was wrong, don't kill me, don't kill me..."
Um?
Everyone was stunned. This voice seemed different from what they had imagined. They quickly opened their eyes, only to be shocked by what they saw, their eyes widening in disbelief.
Lying on the ground, crying and begging for mercy, was the terrifying pheasant demon that had torn several of their companions apart alive!
Meanwhile, the delicate and adorable little girl stood unharmed on the pheasant spirit's body with a cold expression!
"Wow--"
The pheasant spirit's legs were cut off, and its wings were completely severed and thrown to either side. The whole chicken was a bald, bloody ball of flesh, its beak was crushed, and its face was filled with fear as it trembled.
"Spare me! I was wrong, fairy! I was wrong! Senior, I was incredibly audacious and blinded by greed. I shouldn't have been so presumptuous in front of you. Please, please forgive me!"
Tong Su stomped hard on its body and roared, "What kind of demon are you! You know that His Majesty has decreed that the practice of evil and heretical arts is forbidden, and those who harm or eat people will be severely punished, yet you still dare to violate this decree. How dare you!"
The terrified crowd finally came to their senses and rushed forward, thanking Tong Su for saving their lives while pointing at the pheasant spirit and angrily explaining:
“Fairy, it’s like this. In order to escape the orders of the Demon King, they deliberately faked the scene of the dead to make it look like the Witch Clan was eating people, so that we all thought it was the Witch Clan eating people. We were sent by the leader to investigate the situation, but we accidentally stumbled upon the truth, so we were chased by them.”
Tong Su's anger surged even higher. Without hesitation, she drew her sword and was about to stab it into its inner core: "You committed the heinous crime of cannibalism, and you still dare to frame the Witch Clan to escape punishment?! You scoundrel! I'm taking you back to the Heavenly Court to petition His Majesty for your punishment!"
The pheasant spirit was crying and begging for mercy from Tong Su when it heard this. It grew even more terrified, its blood-red eyes darting around, and it cried out:
"You, you're the one who's going to die if you send me to the Heavenly Court! Do you know what clan I belong to? I'm a nine-headed pheasant spirit! My little aunt is studying at Langhuan Academy, and she's good friends with His Majesty's Tonggong. If you kill me, Tonggong won't let you get away with it!"
Tong Su blinked, wondering if she had misheard, and asked again, "...Who? Tong Gong?"
The pheasant spirit, thinking she was frightened, suddenly became bolder. No longer begging for mercy in a pathetic manner, it arrogantly and venomously cursed:
"Are you scared now? Yes, it's Tong Gong! Our backer is Tong Gong! Tong Gong! She's His Majesty's direct descendant, born with the cultivation of a Golden Immortal, and highly valued by His Majesty and the Empress. Even if you send me to the Heavenly Court, I won't be in any danger! On the contrary, you're doomed. Tong Gong won't let you get away with this—"
It struggled to roll its body off Tong Su's feet, panting heavily: "If you release me now, apologize properly, let me eat these people, and then swear an oath that you saw nothing, I might be able to get Tong Gong to spare your life!"
