The Death of the Gu Woman
"The way Xiao Kai is playing..." Mo Shi, who was watching the battle from behind the bushes, had a bad feeling.
He knew the reason for Xiao Yankai's expression: the person she so happily wanted to marry had become one of the culprits who destroyed Fox Mountain, and ultimately died in Xiao Yankai's arms in a manner that was almost suicide.
Since then, Xiaoyankai has never smiled again. Although he is still active in Fox Mountain, he is like a walking corpse.
The fox-tooth spear struck with unstoppable force, knocking the Gu woman back with a single thrust. The Gu woman stared wide-eyed in disbelief, for it was the first time someone had been able to completely block her attack and launch a counterattack.
The Gu woman paused slightly, her eyes filled with murderous intent. Her crimson figure moved like a sudden storm, and wherever the dandelion landed, a thin layer of frost instantly covered the ground.
A thick layer of frost swept across the sky, and Xiaoyan paused in her movements as a ball of flame suddenly shot out from the fox-tooth spear.
Flames, mixed with immense demonic power, met the attack head-on.
The two forces collided violently, creating a deafening roar that shook the earth and sent thick smoke billowing into the air. The astonishing force made Mo Shi and Hu Ling, who were hiding a few feet away, tremble with fear.
The area where the two had just fought was almost completely leveled by the immense impact. After hearing the noise and confirming that Ren Xiangxiang was safe, Mo You temporarily suppressed his anxiety to find her and rushed to the foot of Fox Mountain with Mo Rong and Cui Xi.
Along the way, they even encountered Xueyue and Fenghua. When Xueyue first saw Moyou, she was stunned for a moment, as if she had been in another world.
"You're awake?" Xueyue asked.
Mo You nodded, then glanced at Feng Hua, whose face was full of displeasure. Just as he was about to say something, his feet trembled violently again.
"My god, I feel my heart pounding..." Master Mo wanted to get closer, but was pulled back by that aura.
When Mo You and the others arrived, Xue Yue was the first to get restless, saying, "I'll go help Master."
"Come back!" Fox Spirit and Wind Flower said in unison.
Although Hu Ling's strength is not as great as Xiao Yan Kai's, as the leader of the Red Fox Clan, she is still much stronger than the younger generation.
“Even I can’t get involved, you’d only be a hindrance if you went over there, you’d just stay here and watch over things.”
"But……"
Xueyue bit her lip lightly. Huling knew what she was worried about and said softly, "If even a smile can't be stopped... I'm afraid..."
Xiaoyan Kai is recognized as the number one person in Fox Mountain. Her strength is terrifying. If even she can't stop it, then who else in Fox Mountain can stop that demonic Gu?
Fox Spirit dared not think any further, but then she heard Master Mo exclaim in her ear, "Fox Spirit, look, isn't Xiao Kai'er using a move from your Red Fox Clan?"
A strange flame was wrapped around the fox fang spear. The ultimate skill of the Ink Fox Clan is the Five Ink Techniques, but Xiao Yankai has only learned the fourth technique. With his profound demonic power, he has already defeated all the enemies in Fox Mountain.
Mo Rong was not suited to learn the Five Ink Techniques and used the Fox Clan's treasure, the Soul-Binding Claw. Only Mo You inherited the complete Five Ink Techniques, so it was clear that Xiao Yan Kai was using the Four Ink Techniques as well as the Three Flame Techniques of the Red Fox Clan.
"How could she possess the Soul-Devouring Flame?!" Fox Spirit exclaimed in shock, her pupils dilating violently.
"It really is!" Master Mo exclaimed in surprise, then subconsciously patted Hu Ling on the shoulder. "Could it be that he taught him?"
"You mean him..." Fox Spirit slowly suppressed her surprise, "He... Ge Yilan... how could he know the complete Flame Three Forms?"
Master Mo gave a bitter smile, recalling the past with deep emotion, "You all underestimate him too much. If he really didn't have some ability, how could he have achieved that level by relying solely on luck? And how could Xiao Kai'er, with her aloof and arrogant nature, have loved him to the point of life and death?"
"But..." Hu Ling watched as the Fox Fang Spear, with its astonishing power, swept across the Gu Woman, unleashing a fiery serpent that struck her with overwhelming force.
The Gu woman's terrifying dandelion immediately withered by half, and not only the Gu woman, but also the fox spirit was terrified.
"This isn't...this isn't just the Flame Three Styles..." Fox Spirit's lips trembled slightly, and she was momentarily transported back to the day Fox Charm died.
Master Mo saw that her face was pale, and cold sweat was pouring down her forehead. She looked very frightened.
"What exactly is it?" Mo You asked anxiously.
Fox Spirit looked at everyone, slightly lost in thought. "I've heard before that the Flame Three Styles were created by the Ghost Fox Child. Originally, there was a fourth style, but it was unfinished before he was imprisoned in the Fox Prison. So there's an unfinished fourth style, using bones as flames and the heart as a sword. If a cultivator wants to fully unleash its power, he will... he will..."
It will self-immolate.
However, the method for cultivating the fourth form had already disappeared in the flames along with her senior sister. Even she didn't know the fourth form, so how could she possibly know how to use the Smiling Face Form?
Hu Ling couldn't help but shudder. Could it still be Ge Yilan? He actually... he actually...
"What can you do?"
Mo You grabbed Hu Ling, who stared at him blankly.
"meeting……"
"No, I have to go help Master!"
Xueyue couldn't sit still any longer and grabbed her gun, ready to rush forward.
She had only gone halfway when a powerful force swept over her, forcing Xueyue to come back.
With a smile, her dark and tall figure stood firmly in front of everyone, her demonic power surging and her killing intent astonishing. Her expression was surprisingly calm, but her eyes were burning and crazed.
"Don't come any closer! I won't let her set foot on Fox Mountain!"
"Hahahaha..." The Gu woman's long, gray hair turned pure white at a speed visible to the naked eye, the bloodstains on her body disappeared rapidly, and the dandelion in her hand exuded a chilling evil aura.
"For the first time, for the first time I've felt this way, for the first time I've felt such an urgent urge to tear someone to pieces!"
The Gu woman suddenly opened her eyes, and the soaring evil power made everyone present instinctively want to flee the scene.
Birds took flight in fright and beasts fled in terror; a layer of silver frost covered everything within a ten-foot radius of her.
"retreat!"
Fox Spirit couldn't stand it any longer and dragged Mo Shi, whose face was ashen, away. "What are you still standing there for? We can't participate in this battle, and we can't get too close either."
"No, I must stay." Mo You shook off Mo Rong's hand and forced down the blood that rose in her throat.
Xueyue refused to back down, saying, "I don't believe Master is dead. I want to see her come back alive with my own eyes!"
Xueyue roared, tears welling up in her eyes.
Boom—
Dandelion struck with all her might, crashing heavily into the fox-tooth spear. She smiled coldly, spitting out a mouthful of blood, but she didn't care at all. She gathered her demonic power again, and flames swept wildly, as if she herself was also burning.
Flames and frost intertwined and tore at each other, stirring up howling winds all around. A suffocating despair swept in all directions, making it impossible for the restless Mo You and Xue Yue to get any closer.
"Master!" Xueyue gritted her teeth and took a step, but was swept back by a force and crashed headfirst into Feng Hua's arms.
Mo You stubbornly refused to retreat, and vaguely saw the soaring flames instantly force back the frost. The Gu woman, with her disheveled hair, knelt on one knee, spitting out a mouthful of blood, looking utterly wretched.
Opposite her, a smiling face grabbed the icicle stuck in her chest and pulled it out forcefully.
"Sister!"
"Stop!" Xiaoyan shouted. "I told you not to come any closer!"
Her body faintly glowed red, and her demonic power surged. Exhausted, she ignited her own bone fire.
"Ah Lan..." Smiling broadly, she looked up at the overcast sky and murmured to herself, "You didn't expect this, did you! The four Flame Techniques you taught me... will actually come in handy..."
You have your path, and I have mine. You were once willing to die for me, and now I have no regrets.
Flames swept across the area, illuminating the slightly distorted body of the Gu woman. Her face was contorted in a grimace as she staggered to her feet. "What a joke! How could I possibly lose to a demon!"
The Gu woman's damaged body quickly recovered, her skin began to turn almost transparently pale, and her back bulged slightly, as if something was about to break through her body.
She obtained most of the Gu King's power and had never been in such a sorry state since her rebirth. She was just a demon, but she was a demonic Gu, the nemesis of all demons.
The Gu woman's pupils flashed with a cold light, and she pounced on Xiao Yankai like a ghost. Xiao Yankai flicked her spear, and foxfire swept out. In the flames, the Gu woman withstood the burning foxfire and pierced Xiao Yankai's chest with her palm.
With a sudden, sharpened eye, he severed the Gu woman's arm with incredible speed, then pierced her body with a spear, sending her flying.
After rolling a distance, the Gu woman got up and laughed wildly, "Fight me... cough cough... you lowly demons... are only fit to be my slaves!"
Thump, thump
Her heart, though clearly beating, felt like it was being pricked by needles, as if something was penetrating her body, trying to control her consciousness.
"Is that so?" Smiling, he didn't care about the fatal blow to his chest. His flames surged again, burning off the Gu woman's severed arm. With a swift movement, he caught up with the Gu woman.
The Gu woman hadn't expected there to be a demon that the puppet Gu couldn't control. Just as she was about to resist, a burst of fire shot down from the sky, and the fox fang spear pinned her to the ground.
Xiao Yankai coughed up blood, and before he even hit the ground, he was already burning up. The Gu woman under the spear panicked and struggled to escape Xiao Yankai's attack.
But the flames, along with the smiling face, enveloped her and spread over her body with a whoosh.
"You lowly demon! You...you dare kill me? You...you will die too! You—"
"Haha..." Xiao Yan, who had been immersed in pain for so long, finally laughed from the bottom of her heart, "I... couldn't be happier!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Gu woman, who was struggling desperately, ruthlessly broke her own body and rolled away on her hands. The lump on the back of her neck gradually grew larger, and a fleshy moth about to emerge from its cocoon could be faintly seen.
No, no—
She can't die again! She's finally come back to life! She can't just die like this!
she--
Everything from the past flashed through my mind, finally settling on the moment of my death.
Panic, fear, and despair.
In a daze, he saw the Gu woman dragging her upper body as she fled. He raised his hand and fired another shot, piercing the fleshy moth at the back of the Gu woman's neck.
Flames engulfed everything, and a suffocating stench of decay assaulted our senses.
The evil force soared into the sky, only to vanish into nothingness the instant it fell.
The Gu woman desperately reached out and grabbed at something, but she couldn't grab anything.
The gloomy sky pressed down, making it hard to breathe. The turbulent demonic energy was dispersed by the gale, revealing a raging fire.
"Master—"
"Sister!"
With each piercing scream, the fading consciousness seemed to regain itself once more.
With a smile, her knees buckled, and if it weren't for the fox-tooth spear in her hand, she might have collapsed to the ground.
"Oh……"
A silent smile played on her lips. She looked up one last time in the direction of Fox Mountain and smiled contentedly.
Mo You, Xue Yue, and Hu Ling and the others who rushed over did not dare to approach, because Xiao Yankai was about to burn out all his blood and bones.
This is the price of Flame Style 4.
“Ah Lan…”
Everyone saw Xiao Yankai, who was about to lose consciousness, suddenly look in one direction and smile warmly. Then, she threw away the fox fang gun and stumbled forward to grab it.
She saw it; a tall, handsome young man with gentle, watery eyes was walking towards her with a smile.
"Did you come to pick me up, A-Lan?"
She smiled again, "I knew you wouldn't lie to me, you've never lied to me before."
Her hands, scalded by the flames, seemed to travel through time, and her scarred body was instantly restored. Dressed in her wedding gown, she stumbled into the arms of her beloved.
"I am coming."
"I know, I've waited too long."
