While superior equipment is certainly a factor, it doesn't mean the opponent has no trump cards at all.
The final hidden weapon Zhong Hui unleashed was powerful enough to injure a cultivator at the Soul Condensation Realm!
If it weren't for Red Fox stepping in to block the attack for him, Shen Yunhao would have been seriously injured, if not killed.
It wasn't that Shen Yunhao had forgotten the finishing move principle, but rather that he wasn't even thinking about killing his opponent at this moment.
In his eyes, Zhong Hui, having lost an arm and fallen into a coma, was no longer a threat. It was more meaningful to spare his life to obtain information than to kill him on the spot.
Little did they know that all of this was part of the other party's plan.
Whether it was a feigned shift of target or a counterattack, it was all for this final moment, the instant Shen Yunhao thought he had won and let his guard down, to unleash his strongest killing move.
Zhong Hui even paid the price of losing an arm for this.
Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes.
He never expected that the heavily injured Red Fox would be able to jump out and take the blow for Shen Yunhao...
A moment later, looking at Zhong Hui, who was dead beyond any doubt, Shen Yunhao pulled the blood-stained sword from Zhong Hui's chest.
His hands trembled slightly, his face was pale, his heart was pounding in his chest, his breathing became rapid and disordered, and his stomach churned, making him feel nauseous.
Just as his body was experiencing significant discomfort due to his first murder, his eyes remained remarkably calm.
He had no time to contemplate life; he quickly went to the red fox's side and used the power of the Vast Ocean Heart to heal its wounds.
"Don't...don't worry about me...quickly...quickly go save Senior Nine-Tailed Fox!"
"She won't die anytime soon, but you... if you don't care, you'll die!"
Bai Xiaoruo: "..."
The hidden weapon used by Zhong Hui was extremely powerful, almost completely piercing through the Red Fox's body. The shattered internal organs could be vaguely seen beneath the huge blood hole, leaving the already severely injured Red Fox on the verge of death, barely clinging to life.
"Cough—my wretched life...is...nothing...comparable to...cough cough..."
"Alright, stop talking! She's my wife, I won't let her die, don't worry!"
The red fox paused for a moment, then finally breathed a sigh of relief, closed its eyes, and fainted.
Bai Xiaoruo: "???"
"You're just making things up here..."
"Shut up! Lie there and don't move!"
"..."
I can't move at all right now, okay?
Shen Yunhao used the Vast Ocean Heart to help the Red Fox prolong its life, fed it several healing pills, and then walked towards Qin Fuwang on the other side with his sword.
"What are you trying to do? You killed Junior Brother Zhong, and you've already incurred the wrath of the Dragon Blood Sect. If you dare to touch me again, my great-uncle will fight you to the death!"
After this incident, Shen Yunhao, who was originally quite talkative and liked to show off, didn't bother to say a word and directly thrust his sword at the other party's heart.
"Bang!"
A golden light flashed, and a golden circular protective shield appeared around Qin Fuwang, repelling Shen Yunhao.
"The magic weapon is quite good. If Senior Brother Zhong had used it earlier, I really wouldn't have been able to defeat him so quickly!"
Shen Yunhao gave a cold laugh.
Even Zhong Hui possesses a hidden weapon capable of threatening a Soul Condensation Realm cultivator; Qin Fuwang likely carries even more.
"You've heard me! So what if you kill me? Associating with monsters will still make you a heretic in everyone's eyes, and you'll be hated by everyone!"
Qin Fuwang hurriedly said, "Listen to me, kill these two monsters, and you will be an honored guest of my Dragon Blood Sect. No one will know about Junior Brother Zhong's matter! If the demon essence of this nine-tailed fox is used to refine pills, the resulting Primordial Essence Pill will definitely be a rare treasure, allowing you to easily transcend the Profound Soul realm and directly reach the Soul Condensation realm!"
Shen Yunhao ignored him completely and focused on attacking the shield.
This shield works similarly to the Netherworld Shield, and is powered by spirit stones. Once the opponent's spirit stones are exhausted, the shield will break on its own.
Qin Fuwang's verbal attacks continued, "You fight for monsters, and you will eventually die at their hands! But my Dragon Blood Sect only cares about ourselves! Killing her to refine medicine only improves our own cultivation! Only strength truly belongs to us; everything else is meaningless!"
"Damn it, why are you still hitting her! What good is helping this vixen? What can she give you?"
Hearing this, Shen Yunhao's lips curled up, and he was about to speak when the little fox behind him chuckled softly, "That's a good question... Can you let him touch my tail? Can you let him hug me and rub me? Can you let him experience the greatest pleasures of the human world?"
The first two are fine, but what about the last one?
I need to think carefully about what that means.
"You're right... my husband..."
The last "husband" he called out in such a sweet, coquettish voice gave Shen Yunhao goosebumps.
"No need for all that trouble, just patting its tail is enough..."
"Tch! You greedy brat..."
Qin Fuwang was utterly bewildered by what he heard, but he still advised, "With strength, what kind of monster wouldn't submit to you? How can you live a life of fleeting pleasure?"
"Not to mention anything else, my Dragon Blood Sect has everything you want, not just fox spirits, but also cat spirits, rabbit spirits, and snake spirits!"
Holy crap! That's amazing?
Shen Yunhao was stunned on the spot and actually stopped his attack.
Bai Xiaoruo: "???"
Seeing the obvious results, Qin Fuwang was overjoyed and said, "Brother Mu! Don't underestimate my Dragon Blood Sect just because it's small. We have plenty of monsters! All kinds, both familiar and unfamiliar! As long as you help me kill this fox demon, they'll all be yours!"
Seeing Shen Yunhao standing silently with his head down, Bai Xiaoruo was dumbfounded: "No? You don't actually believe that, do you?"
Clearly, the little fox was also getting anxious because of Shen Yunhao's reaction. If Ning Yuyao and the others were here, they would know that Shen Yunhao was thinking about something else.
How could there be so many demons in a human sect?
Even if you want to extract demon essence to refine pills, you should send people everywhere to subdue demons and monsters. Why would you bring monsters back to the sect?
Could it be...?
For some unknown reason, Shen Yunhao gasped.
He seemed to know why the wolf demon of the past and the red fox of today both said that the Dragon Blood Sect would not have a good end.
"You bastard! You stinking bastard! The nine-tailed fox is a saint among demons, how can those mortal demons compare? I've already come here myself to let you touch my tail, and you're still not satisfied! You wretched bastard! You brat! Die, die, die, die, die, die, die..."
Shen Yunhao: "..."
Good grief, this guy's really getting desperate!
Normally, Shen Yunhao would definitely tease him thoroughly.
But now... looking at Qin Fuwang in front of him, the disgust and killing intent in his eyes could no longer be concealed!
"Damn it! Didn't we agree on this? Why did you still attack me?"
"Don't ask! The only answer is that you're too ugly! You're not as pretty as my wife..."
