Feng Ke felt a gust of wind striking her head, and an extremely powerful pressure was bearing down from above!
If she couldn't withstand this move from the Nine-Tailed Fox, she would likely be reduced to a pulp in an instant!
In a moment of desperation, Feng Ke could only fully activate the Zhou Tian Tai Xuan Jing, her entire body's meridians bulging, Tai Xuan True Intent filling her entire being.
Boundless energy surged through her meridians!
"Ahhh!"
Feng Ke screamed, her meridians bursting open by more than half from the Tai Xuan True Intent. An unimaginably powerful force erupted from within her, forming a gray barrier around her.
Clang!
The Nine-Tailed Fox's claws slammed fiercely onto the spiritual energy barrier above Feng Ke, emitting a sound like colliding iron, sparks flying!
The barrier condensed by the Tai Xuan True Intent accumulated all the impact force and then unleashed it all upon the Nine-Tailed Fox.
"Pfft!"
The Nine-Tailed Fox took her own power head-on, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Her massive body shot out like a cannonball, heading straight for the bookshelves!
Seeing herself about to crash into the books, the Nine-Tailed Fox didn't hesitate to harm herself, forcibly condensing a spiritual energy wall behind her to block herself from the wall of books.
Bang!!!
The Nine-Tailed Fox slammed violently into the spiritual energy wall she had condensed, her massive body directly shattering the wall, while also sustaining severe damage.
However, thanks to this, the Nine-Tailed Fox managed to dissipate a significant portion of the impact force, and just as she was about to hit the book wall, she managed to stop herself.
Feng Ke's meridians were also completely severed at this point, but the Tai Xuan True Intent shielded all her senses and helped reconnect her meridians. Not only did Feng Ke not lose combat power, but her combat strength doubled due to the unimpeded circulation of spiritual energy within her body!
Feng Ke knew her condition wouldn't last long and, without any hesitation, drew the broken Han Guang Sword into her hand. She used the Tai Xuan True Intent to gather all the fragments of the Han Guang Sword, transforming herself into a beam of light and piercing fiercely towards the Nine-Tailed Fox!
At this moment, the Nine-Tailed Fox, having protected the wall of books, had forcibly absorbed all the impact. Her muscles were completely torn, and even breathing was excruciatingly painful, let alone dodging Feng Ke's full-power strike!
Now, she could only watch helplessly as Feng Ke attacked her!
Feeling the Tai Xuan True Intent swirling around the Han Guang Sword, a flicker of despair crossed her eyes.
With this sword strike, she was certainly doomed!
"Tai Xuan True Intent!"
Feng Ke shouted fiercely, the sword light flashing through space, already reaching the Nine-Tailed Fox's forehead.
"That's enough."
Just then, Ye Ling's voice rang out. He then appeared beside the Nine-Tailed Fox and Feng Ke, grabbing Feng Ke's Han Guang Sword with one hand, nullifying all of Feng Ke's power, dispelling the Tai Xuan True Intent surrounding Feng Ke, and injecting his own spiritual energy into Feng Ke's body to repair her meridians.
Although Ye Ling had absorbed Feng Ke's force, she had already gone all out, and now she couldn't stop herself, crashing directly into Ye Ling's arms.
"What are you doing?"
Feng Ke, bumping into Ye Ling, suddenly panicked. She quickly retreated a few steps, her face flushing red, and questioned Ye Ling, "I almost killed her! Now you're giving her a chance to recover. What do we do if she regains her strength?"
Ye Ling smiled slightly, binding the Nine-Tailed Fox with demonic energy and sealing her spiritual power. He then chuckled at Feng Ke, "This fox is just a librarian. She's not a major threat. There's no need to kill her."
Ye Ling had let Feng Ke fight the Nine-Tailed Fox with the intention of stimulating Feng Ke's potential.
Now that Feng Ke had broken through her limits in a desperate situation, doubling her combat strength, continuing the fight would be meaningless and would instead cause irreversible damage.
"As you wish..."
Seeing that the Nine-Tailed Fox was easily controlled by Ye Ling, Feng Ke no longer insisted on attacking her. She turned to care and asked, "How are you and Wang Die? Have you finished learning all the knowledge here?"
Ye Ling shook his head and said, "The knowledge here is vast and complex, but most of the ancient texts are meaningless, only containing some ancient forbidden arts and local customs."
"After reading all the books here, I have a vague feeling that several important books are missing from this place."
Feng Ke looked confused, "Missing important books?"
"Perhaps it's my illusion. After reading the books here, at least I know the history of the Tong Tian clan and what they are plotting on Earth."
Speaking of this, Ye Ling looked at Wang Die again, a strange glint in his eyes.
The appearance of the Nine-Tailed Fox, while having no impact on Ye Ling, had greatly slowed down Wang Die's progress in deciphering the knowledge here.
As the Nine-Tailed Fox's spiritual power gradually receded, Wang Die's Qimen formation once again occupied the entire library, and her speed of absorbing knowledge from here increased again!
While Wang Die was still absorbing the knowledge here, Ye Ling shifted his attention to the Nine-Tailed Fox, examining her carefully.
The fragrance pervading this ancient ruin emanated from the Nine-Tailed Fox herself, and this was merely her natural body scent, not including her divine abilities.
In other words, if this Nine-Tailed Fox were to walk around outside the ruins, even if she did nothing, everyone around her would involuntarily have their deepest bestial instincts awakened, eventually unleashing the evil suppressed in their hearts.
This Nine-Tailed Fox was a natural harbinger of disaster!
Ye Ling pinched the Nine-Tailed Fox's chin, looked directly into her eyes, and asked with a smile, "I'm very curious now, what exactly is the reason that you, a dignified Rank Nine demon beast, would rather give up your life than guard these books?"
"Forgive my bluntness... the forbidden arts and classics here are just a pile of garbage. Why do you value them so much?"
"Or perhaps, there is a secret here that I don't know?"
Ye Ling had read all the contents of the million ancient books here, and after filtering out a large amount of garbage, he found that no valuable information was left behind.
Ye Ling didn't believe that the value here was enough to make Wang Die come here specifically and pay a heavy price to absorb the knowledge.
Nor was it necessary for this Nine-Tailed Fox to sacrifice her life for these books.
Stared at by Ye Ling's eyes, a flicker of fear flashed in the Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes, and her body trembled slightly.
Although Ye Ling was not exuding powerful pressure at the moment, just looking into Ye Ling's eyes, she could feel that Ye Ling was an enemy thousands of times more terrifying than Feng Ke!
Now, Ye Ling's gentle words were like the whisper of a devil to the Nine-Tailed Fox.
"I, I..."
The Nine-Tailed Fox stammered, her eyes darting around, not daring to meet Ye Ling's gaze.
Seeing the Nine-Tailed Fox's reaction, Ye Ling became even more certain that she was hiding some secret.
Perhaps, the true treasure in this library was this Nine-Tailed Fox!
