Chapter 178: The demon is left behind! Your Highness?
Chapter 178: The demon is left behind! Your Highness?
The black-robed man's corpse collapsed limply to the ground. A bloody hole remained where his heart had been.
The stench of blood in the air was so strong it was suffocating, yet Bai Yujin's slender fingers, like those of an artist, gently held the still faintly beating heart. A bloodthirsty smile curled at the corner of her lips, a smile as demonic as a demon's, sending chills down one's spine.
Hearing the commotion behind him, the man in black quickly turned around and saw the heart being held in Bai Yujin's hand. Upon seeing this, his pupils contracted sharply, and he also noticed Xue Yang lying dead on the ground. No, Xue Yang was dead just like that.
He stared at the scene before him in disbelief.
His mouth was slightly open, but he couldn't make a sound.
The assassins around them were frozen in place, their eyes filled with shock and fear, their bodies stiff as stone. They wanted to escape, but found their feet rooted to the ground, unable to move. The heart in Bai Yujin's hand seemed to be the focus of their attention, and no one could look away from it.
The next second, Bai Yujin did it right in front of everyone.
She crushed the heart with a single, forceful squeeze of her fingers, and blood and chunks of flesh splattered everywhere. The once-beating heart instantly turned into an unrecognizable mass of rotten flesh. The scene was extremely cruel, but it made the people present clearly realize what kind of person they were about to face.
Some people felt like vomiting, and some timid people started to back away. They dared not face such a demon. Yes, that's right. In their eyes, this woman had become a demon, or even a witch.
They even witnessed the woman's right hand transform into a fox paw. They were a little surprised, not expecting that the woman was actually a fox. But then they thought about it and realized that the woman's mother was a fox demon from the fox clan.
A nameless fear welled up in their hearts. She was not only a powerful being, but also an anomaly with the bloodline of the fox clan. Although anomalies are common nowadays, someone like this woman is extremely rare.
"Now that you have seen it, you cannot live!"
Bai Yujin's voice was as cold as ice, and her eyes were bloodshot.
She flashed forward, gripping her longsword, and charged straight ahead.
At that moment, everyone wanted to escape; the thought of surviving flashed through their minds.
No one wants to die in Ghost Valley Forest; if they die here, it means they won't even be able to leave a complete corpse.
Bai Yujin's longsword was like a death scythe, drawing dazzling flashes of cold light in the space. Her movements were as fast as lightning, and each strike brought forth a shower of blood. Even if these assassins wanted to retaliate, they were no match for Bai Yujin.
"No, I don't want to die here, spare me!"
"Please, let me go!"
"My lord, please spare me."
"Master, I'm calling you master, please spare me, I don't want to die."
"Ah! No!"
"Don't kill me, I can kill for you, just please spare me."
"I don't want to die, I really don't want to die!"
Bai Yujin had no sympathy to spare anyone.
Since they had all accepted the mission to kill her, how could Bai Yujin let them go so easily?
Since you're here, you might as well leave your life behind first.
Bai Yujin's sword pierced the chests of one assassin after another without mercy. Each strike was precise and deadly. Her blood-stained dress fluttered in the air, like a grim reaper reaping the lives of everyone.
She simply transformed into her fox form, using the surrounding environment for concealment and surprise attacks. The white fox was small, agile, and elegant, its fur shimmering with a silvery sheen in the sunlight. Its fox eyes flashed with icy killing intent, aiming straight for the life of the last person.
In no time, only the corpses of dead people and monsters remained on the ground.
Bai Yujin leaped and landed directly on the treetop.
Looking down at the five severely injured monsters remaining at the bottom, his gaze was extremely cold.
Just as Bai Yujin was about to say something, she heard an unfamiliar voice.
"Fairy, spare the demon!"
The tiger demon, who was cultivating, still couldn't believe it when he received the news from his subordinates. Who could kill so many demon beasts? Especially low-level and mid-level demon beasts? Not to mention human cultivators. Even if they were human cultivators, that was hundreds of years ago. Nowadays, hardly anyone would go to such lengths to enter Ghost Valley Forest to kill demon beasts.
The tiger demon still decided to go and see for himself, and what he saw there was a terrible sight! How could so many people be dead? The tiger demon was still a little resentful, until he saw the woman transform into a fox, especially her two tails and her silvery-white fur.
! ! ! !
This is this...
Isn't this a fox from Qingqiu?
Wait a minute, Qingqiu only seems to have two princesses. As for the princesses at the top, they're all married. Only the princess at the very end is arranging her marriage. Among the five married immortals, only two have two daughters, who were just born not long ago.
Where did this person come from?
The tiger demon was somewhat puzzled.
"...??"
Spare the demon? What the hell?
Bai Yujin looked puzzled and looked up toward the source of the sound.
Then they saw a black and white tiger demon slowly walking towards them.
"Was that you who just shouted for your men to spare the demon?"
Bai Yujin asked it in surprise.
Although he didn't know how this little princess got here, the tiger demon still respectfully bowed to Bai Yujin.
"Your Highness, did the demons of Ghost Valley Forest attack you? Otherwise, why would you..." At this point, the tiger demon glanced at the mountain of corpses piled up beside it and couldn't help but swallow hard.
Good heavens, this young prince is too fierce.
It actually killed so many demonic beasts, and these were its subordinates!
The tiger demon's face was extremely ugly, but Bai Yujin didn't notice the look in its eyes.
"Your Highness? Are you calling me? I'm not Your Highness. You must have mistaken me for someone else. Are these demonic beasts your subordinates?" Bai Yujin raised an eyebrow and looked down at the tiger demon, not quite understanding why it was calling her that.
Upon hearing this, the tiger demon was suddenly taken aback.
"Judging from your figure and your tail, it's easy to tell. Oh, and Your Highness, your eyes have heterochromia. There's only one person in the fox clan with heterochromia, and that's Venerable Yuehua of the Qingqiu Fox Clan and Your Highness."
As soon as the tiger demon finished speaking, the entire Ghost Valley Forest seemed to quiet down a bit.
Only the rustling sound of the treetops in the gentle breeze could be heard.
Bai Yujin narrowed her eyes slightly; her heterochromatic pupils were indeed quite unique.
"is it?"
The Venerable Moonflower? He is undoubtedly her maternal uncle.
Perhaps it is true. I never expected that my uncle, whom I had never met, also had heterochromia.
