Chapter 767 Fox Demon Attacks the Town
In Lingyun Mountain, two fox demons, carrying their companion, found Hu Wen amidst tears and wailing.
"Brother Hu Wen! Help us get revenge! That guy is too strong, we're no match for him!"
Hu Wen coldly stared at the three disheveled figures, his face extremely grim.
It seems the other party was well-prepared and knew they wouldn't let it go easily.
"What level of cultivation does that person possess?"
"A Nascent Soul cultivator at the fifth level! But their strength surpasses all of ours!"
"waste!"
Hu Wen's eyes widened, and he was almost furious.
These three guys have the nerve to call themselves geniuses of the Fox Clan after being beaten like this by a Nascent Soul cultivator. They've completely disgraced Fox Mountain!
He said irritably, "Fine, considering you've followed me for so long, I'll spare you this time. As for that human, since he couldn't keep you here, it means he's nothing special. However..."
Hu Wen's face darkened. Reason told him that the other party should only have this much strength. After all, he was only at the Nascent Soul stage. It would be impolite to be any stronger.
But his fox-like nature made him hesitant and timid.
What if? What if it's a conspiracy, a deliberate attempt to deceive me?
He turned around, two thoughts clashing in his mind.
In the end, his pride as a genius of the fox clan prevailed over that little bit of doubt.
"The human race has provoked us so much. If we don't take his life, this trip down the mountain will have been in vain. All of you, come with me and bring that bastard back!"
"No!"
At this moment, Tu Shanmo, the girl in white from before, ran over.
"Senior Brother Hu Gang is still exploring the mine. We can't act rashly while he's away!"
Hu Wen glanced at Tu Shanmo: "Why let such a trivial matter interfere with Hu Gang's important business? Besides, we're here to avenge that lecherous scoundrel, so we should be ruthless!"
Hu Wen completely ignored Tu Shanmo and left with six or seven fox clan geniuses.
Tu Shanmo was left alone, her expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.
……
Dawn.
The moon had not yet set, and the sky was a hazy gray, with only a few slivers of white light showing through.
Led by Hu Wen, a total of eight fox demons transformed into afterimages and sped towards Lingyun Town.
This time, Hu Wen personally took the lead, unleashing his overwhelming demonic energy without any concealment, and went directly to the town entrance.
The remaining seven demons simultaneously attacked the town from seven different directions.
In an instant, the fox demon revealed its true form, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. Its demonic aura condensed into black clouds, turning the gray sky completely inky.
Jiang Yi, standing at the town entrance, suddenly opened her eyes, drew her waist knife, and with a flash of cold light, unleashed a hundred-foot-long blade of energy.
With a loud bang, the dark cloud split in two, followed by a flash of sword light. Hu Wenhua, in human form, extinguished Jiang Yi's sword energy and calmly walked out.
"The magistrate of the Three Offices has quite a temper."
Jiang Yi glared coldly and shouted sharply, "Who goes there!"
"Fox Clan, Hu Wen."
"You audacious fox clan, how dare you attack a human town!"
"Attack? Inspector, you're mistaken. You were the ones who arrested my brother first, so I had no choice but to come and demand his release."
"Is this all you're like, sir?"
Jiang Yi glanced at the true forms of the fox demons around her, but since Ye Kang had informed her beforehand that she didn't need to pay attention to the others, she suppressed her urge to attack.
Hu Wen smiled coldly: "After all, my fox clan is weak. If we don't send more people, what will the inspector do if he doesn't allow it?"
"That sounds nice, but even if you send more people, I can't agree to this!"
Jiang Yi's tone became serious, full of heroic spirit and domineering authority.
Hu Wen's face grew increasingly ugly, and he sneered, "If you don't know what's good for you, then don't blame me."
Hu Wen never expected Jiang Yi to release him; he was just making an excuse for himself.
If word gets out later, it will be said that the human race started the trouble first, so he can't be blamed.
Jiang Yi knew this perfectly well, but there was no way out at this moment. She could only stand up and point the blade forward.
"A fox demon has attacked the city; kill it without mercy."
"Innocent."
Hu Wen sneered, then his figure vanished instantly. The next second, the hideous fox demon's avatar appeared before Jiang Yi.
The giant fox wielded a greatsword and slashed down fiercely. Jiang Yi raised her hand and slashed back with her own blade. The metal clashed, sparks flying everywhere.
But Jiang Yi was clearly at a disadvantage, constantly retreating, her wrists trembling slightly.
Hu Wen's cultivation level is Seven Luminaries, while Jiang Yi's is only Five Luminaries.
If it really came down to a fight, she wouldn't stand a chance.
Therefore, Jiang Yi made a quick decision, throwing away her sword and simultaneously revealing a copper lock in her right palm.
"Door lock tactic!"
Boom!
With a wave of her hands, Jiang Yi sent the door lock flying out and instantly transforming into a vast array of giant locks. The lock cores emitted an immense gravitational force, directly drawing Hu Wen's figure towards them.
The Door Lock Strategy is one of the Three Prefectures' ultimate techniques. The lock core contains a trapping formation, the lock head is extremely tough, and the key can be broken into fragments for combined attacks, making it invincible.
The training is extremely difficult; I never expected that Jiang Yi, a mere Five Elements Inspector, would be able to do it!
Hu Wen had clearly overlooked this, and he quickly swung his sword to sever the pulling force, his body retreating sharply backward.
The fox clan has a weak physique and relies on martial arts just like human warriors. Therefore, they are the most knowledgeable about the power of the Three Prefectures' battle tactics.
It's simply unreasonable. If used properly, it can truly overpower all opponents and make fighting against opponents of higher levels effortless.
Therefore, Hu Wen no longer underestimated her, and instead held the sword in his right hand and made a hand seal with his left.
The fox clan's secret techniques were infused into the sword, instantly allowing him to unleash hundreds of layers of sword energy, resembling a peacock spreading its tail feathers, dazzling and magnificent.
Jiang Yi gritted her teeth, flung her hands, and the door lock slammed down like a hammer, forcefully blocking the incoming sword energy. At the same time, the key on the door lock shattered into pieces, reassembling into countless tiny silver needles, which unexpectedly pierced Hu Wen.
The two then engaged in a contest of combat techniques and fox clan secret arts, and for a time they were unable to determine a winner.
Of course, overall, Hu Wen still has the advantage. Given enough time, Jiang Yi will not be able to withstand the tactics and will be defeated sooner or later.
But where does time come from?
Naturally, it was the other seven fox demons who had infiltrated Lingyun Town. As long as they caused a great disturbance in the town and made Jiang Yi anxious and flustered, this battle would be won!
Hu Wen thought so, but after waiting for a long time, he found that there was no movement at all in the town.
what happened!
What are those guys doing!
Just then, seven beams of light suddenly rose up in the town.
Seven arrays rose up simultaneously, accompanied by the fox demon's screams and the human warriors' roars.
"Kill these bastards!"
"You dare to harm the people of Lingyun Town? I'll slaughter you all!"
"Charge! Avenge the headhunter!"
Amidst the commotion, all the constables and hunters, as well as the independent martial artists, martial arts masters, and镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) in Lingyun Town, were mobilized, divided into seven groups, each guarding a formation.
At the highest point of Lingyun Town, Ye Kang stood upright on the rooftop against the fierce wind, his arms outstretched, and countless Moon-Entwining Heavenly Silks shot out from his body, firmly controlling everything.
