A flash of crimson light appeared in the center of the stone slab, tightly enveloping the fox demon. Little White's pure white fur was gone, now interspersed with faint purple, its ears became sharp, and claws grew nails.
The purplish-red smoke surged into his body, penetrating to his very marrow. His bushy tail exploded due to the increased power, and then split into even more tails.
Three tails, four tails...nine tails!
The fox demon Xiaobai has become the only nine-tailed fox in the world.
The demonic wind dissipated, and the blood mist vanished.
The fox demon's toes touched the ground, with its thick nine tails behind it, and its pupils turned purple, making it even more alluring.
He shook his neck, which made a cracking sound.
"That old thing is still somewhat useful; it wasn't for nothing that I went to great lengths to get my hands on this formation."
Having said that, he reached out and licked the fur on his palm, his eyes fixed intently on Yan Ze:
"Yan Ze, I hate you! Come on, let's fight!"
Before Xiaobai could finish speaking, Yanze drew his sword and attacked the fox demon with the force of a dragon being cleaved.
The two fought fiercely, their battle causing even heaven and earth to tremble.
The sky above the Demon Realm was nothing but black, except for an unnatural crimson glow. Sometime during the night, the sky had turned completely black, as if a storm was brewing.
It was now the middle of the month, a time when magic power was at its peak. The fox demon's attacks became increasingly fierce and unpredictable.
He had an excited smile on his face, like a child who had seen candy, his eyes shining.
Yan Ze knew in his heart that this was likely to be a fierce battle. He had already suffered many injuries in the process of sealing the Demon King, and was now powerless to defeat this little madman who had inherited the power of magic.
Yan Ze felt the spiritual energy in his body rapidly draining away, and his eyes sharpened.
No matter what, we must not let him out!
Seeing that Yan Ze was struggling to hold on, Luo Jiu was as anxious as an ant on a hot plate.
"Senior brother! Senior brother! Quickly go and help Master!"
"But you..."
Even before Xiaobai became the Demon Lord, the demons in the Demon Realm had already awakened and, following their master's orders, attacked Luo Jiu's direction.
They were densely packed, impossible to burn out or drive away. It seemed they were trying to exhaust the two people's spiritual power, trapping them alive in this place.
"I'm fine!"
With that, he hurled a green orb of light, killing more than a dozen monsters on the ground.
With Wen Zhaobai's arrival, Yan Ze finally had a moment to catch his breath. Wen Zhaobai was Yan Ze's eldest disciple, and he had taught him almost all of his skills. Moreover, Wen Zhaobai had excellent spiritual roots, so he was naturally a capable fighter.
Seeing that she couldn't subdue Yan Ze for the time being, the fox demon resumed her cheerful and talkative demeanor.
"Wen Zhaobai? Don't you like my sister Luo Jiu? Why are you stopping me from killing him?"
"He's dead, so Luo Jiu is all yours now?"
A bewitching face suddenly loomed close to Wen Zhaobai, brimming with malice.
Wen Zhaobai remained unmoved, and thrust his sword even harder at the fox demon.
"What, are you getting angry? Am I wrong?"
"You humans are so cunning and complicated, it's really strange."
Then, he burst into loud, sharp laughter.
"Remain calm and steady your mind."
Yan Ze's voice was particularly jarring amidst the shrill laughter, like a cool breeze, yet it only made Wen Zhaobai feel more agitated.
Just then, Yan Ze was pushed by the fox demon's palm wind and coughed up blood.
"Master!"
"It's nothing."
The three of them fought back and forth dozens of times, and the sound of weapons clashing against flesh made Luo Jiu tremble.
"This is so boring, let's end it here."
The fox demon condensed a ball of purple mist in its hand, shimmering with golden light, and hurled it towards Yan Ze.
Yan Ze's eyes narrowed, and he hurriedly used his sword to block. However, the black mist felt as heavy as ten thousand pounds, forcing him to take several steps back.
Seeing that he was about to give up, Wen Zhaobai rushed over to help him block the attack.
"Wen Zhaobai, are you really stupid?"
The fox demon stood in front of Wen Zhaobai, her gaze towards him growing increasingly malevolent.
"If he doesn't die, you'll never have another chance!"
You will never have Luo Jiu!
Never to have it...
forever……
These words, like a curse, suddenly echoed in Wen Zhaobai's ears. For a moment, he was stunned, and even the sword in his hand almost fell to the ground.
"puff!"
Yan Ze could not hold on any longer. His body was like a broken basket, with blood seeping out uncontrollably. Even his black clothes could not hide the glaring crimson blood.
His gaze remained fixed on Luo Jiu, who was not far away, as if he had an obsession with her.
"Run! Run!"
"Master!"
Luo Jiu shouted, disregarding everything else, and rushed towards Yan Ze.
Unexpectedly, a thick tail descended from the sky and swept up Luo Jiu.
"Let me go!"
Luo Jiu struggled, but no matter how she hit him, it didn't hurt Xiao Bai at all.
"I can't bear to."
The fox demon used her sharp fingertips to lift Luo Jiu's chin, muttering to herself:
"My sister is the first person to be kind to me. Now that I'm the Demon King, my sister is my Demon Queen."
"Fox demon, let her go!"
Wen Zhaobai's eyes turned red with anxiety, his moves became chaotic, and he slashed at the fox demon without even holding his sword properly.
With a flick of her finger, Xiaobai unleashed a purple ball of light, causing Wen Zhaobai to cough up blood incessantly.
"You, with your weak will and betrayal of your sect, do you deserve her?"
The fox transformed into its original form, its tail tightly wrapped around Luo Jiu's waist. This posture felt strangely familiar, yet it chilled Luo Jiu to the bone.
"Yan Ze! Yan Ze!"
One cry after another, relentless, each cry accompanied by tears.
Just then, a thunderous sound suddenly came from the sky, and golden rays of light flashed across the sky, as if they were about to strike down at any moment.
Luo Jiu was startled and looked up again. A deafening sound flashed in her ears as a golden lightning bolt struck Yan Ze squarely.
"Master!"
"Sister, don't look. Even if she was still breathing before, she'd definitely be struck by lightning and turned into a charred corpse by now."
Xiao Bai's gloating voice rang out from the side, causing Luo Jiu's expression to sting. She opened her mouth and bit down hard on his tail.
Luo Jiu gazed at Yan Ze's figure with tears in her eyes, just as another bolt of lightning struck down.
"boom!"
Seeing this strange sight, Xiaobai stopped and turned to look at Yan Ze. Its beast-like eyes held a cryptic expression.
Lightning struck, bringing plumes of black smoke that enveloped the area around Yan Ze.
Soon after, a powerful and domineering surge of spiritual energy emanated from the air.
The fox demon was unusually sensitive; its fur stood on end, as if it were preparing for battle.
As the smoke cleared, a figure slowly emerged from the mist.
The newcomer was still dressed in black, his steps were light and slow, but he seemed somewhat different.
Yan Ze's injuries seemed to be recovering quickly. His originally handsome features became even more profound, and every gesture he made exuded the aura of a superior. He wore a golden crown on his head, making him even more noble.
"Yan Ze..."
The fox demon gritted her teeth and cried out, but the man only smiled dangerously:
"You little fox demon, how dare you address me by my name?"
