A sword swept past.
We broke apart.
Lao Mo and I prepared to use Daoist magic to quickly deal with the fox demon.
And the fox demon also unleashed his methods.
Demonic energy suddenly surrounded us, enveloping us.
His eyes emitted a faint red glow.
In an instant, the entire mountain forest's colors changed abruptly.
As if colored, they all turned red, as if permeated by blood.
And the fox demon, within this red world, suddenly let out a roar:
"Aoo!"
A fox's roar.
Suddenly, "whuh-whuh-whuh" sounds of fox calls arose from all around.
Then, masses of red mist appeared to our left and right.
The mist condensed. In the blink of an eye, humanoid foxes formed from red mist.
They bared their fangs, growling "whuh-whuh-whuh," and lunged at Lao Mo and me...
My eyes narrowed, and I saw through his trick.
Demonic art, an illusion.
Seeing this, Lao Mo and I both frowned.
Without needing to remind each other, we simultaneously drew a talisman from our bodies.
A Purification Talisman.
This was the result of long-term combat experience, handled without any hesitation.
The Purification Talisman could break through illusory deceptions.
Unless the opponent unleashed a very special illusory demonic art.
Or, if the opponent's strength greatly surpassed ours.
Otherwise, the Purification Talisman would be effective.
We both held a Purification Talisman in our hands.
Facing the attacking red mist fox demons.
Our finger seals changed, and we finally held them upright in front of us, simultaneously chanting in a low voice:
"Heaven clear, earth bright, guard the Dao's heart.
Pure power, break the turbidity, return to clarity.
Hasten as the law commands, break!"
Lao Mo and I spoke simultaneously.
The talismans in our hands flashed with light, turning into ashes with a "boom."
The talisman's power rippled.
Like a tide, it spread outwards in all directions.
Wherever it passed, those attacking red mist fox demons all vanished.
The surrounding mountain forest quickly returned to its natural appearance.
In less than three seconds, the fox demon's created fox illusion was directly shattered.
Only the four-tailed fox demon, its eyes still glowing red, remained not far away.
And that fox demon was also full of astonishment at this moment.
Perhaps it hadn't expected that a single talisman from us would break its created fox illusion.
Lao Mo licked his lips:
"Monster, accept the judgment of light!"
The fox demon watched us vigilantly, growling low "whuh-whuh-whuh," its four tails swaying ceaselessly.
And Lao Mo, after saying that.
Lunged forward, holding his peach wood axe.
I also did not hesitate, swiftly following.
Seeing this, the fox demon also let out a roar:
"Aoo!"
Demonic energy surged, enveloping its entire body in green energy.
In the next second, we saw the fox demon, which had been lying on the ground, rapidly grow dense yellow fur on its limbs.
Its body also swelled considerably at this moment.
Transforming into a giant four-tailed fox...
This was beastification.
The ultimate technique of demons.
Lao Mo and I showed no fear, charging forward to meet it.
Because Lao Mo's axe had been changed to a one-handed axe.
As we got closer, Lao Mo forcefully swung both handles of the axe towards the fox demon:
"Thunder Axe!"
I also thrust my sword towards the fox demon's face.
The fox demon wasn't foolish; seeing our fierce approach and aggressive attacks, it quickly dodged backward.
It also spat a mouthful of green demonic mist at us.
Lao Mo and I flashed to the sides, the demonic mist sprayed onto the leaves above our heads.
The leaves instantly withered, demonstrating its potency...
And the fox demon, seeing us split up, naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to attack.
It wanted to defeat us individually.
Perhaps seeing the power of Lao Mo's lightning techniques.
Its first target was me.
"Aoo!"
With a fox's roar, its entire body stood upright.
Its sharp fox claws, like five scimitars.
Fell fiercely towards my face.
Waves of demonic wind swept through, exerting strong pressure.
Seeing this, I merely snorted coldly.
I could only lament that it had chosen the wrong opponent.
I gave it no chance, unleashing my full Daoist cultivation, simultaneously activating three types of Dao energy.
Forming seals with my left hand, swinging my long sword with my right, I low-chanted:
"Heaven and Earth without limit, the universe has its laws, break!"
In an instant, a terrifying energy exploded.
My sword met it.
With a "bang," a loud explosion.
Turbulent streams of qi and demonic energy erupted all around.
The fox demon was sent flying back five or six meters by this sword strike.
Three of its right claws, which had met my sword, were broken.
Its other two claws were splayed outwards, bleeding, with flesh visible at the tips of its nails.
And its entire forelimb was shaking uncontrollably, its injuries not light.
This blow was a complete victory.
It completely suppressed the fox demon.
Before the fox demon could catch its breath, Lao Mo had already attacked.
"Die!"
The fox demon hadn't even stabilized itself, and now it couldn't dodge.
It could only let out a "aoo" fox roar and raise its other, uninjured fox claw to block Lao Mo's fatal axe strike.
Although Lao Mo's cultivation was slightly lower than mine, it was roughly equal to this fox demon's.
But the power of lightning techniques was no joke.
Such high-level magic arts were extremely lethal to evil spirits.
With a "crack," a burst of electricity.
Arcs of electricity crawled along the fox demon's claw, reaching its entire forelimb, and the fur was instantly scorched and ignited.
The fox demon's face was filled with pain and terror, letting out another scream:
"Awooo..."
The terrifying power of the lightning blast once again sent the fox demon's entire body flying backward.
It tumbled on the ground...
Lao Mo and I not only cooperated perfectly but didn't even give the opponent a moment to breathe.
As the fox demon was still rolling, Lao Mo and I attacked simultaneously.
By the time the fox demon's body stopped rolling, Lao Mo and I had already arrived from its sides.
The fox demon was terrified, knowing it was no match for us.
Continuing would only lead to its death.
Its entire body was enveloped in green light, instantly transforming into a yellow-furred fox, and it turned to flee.
But where could it escape?
Having encountered us today, it was destined to die...
