My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

Chapter 119 - Daji, Is It Really You? (1)

Shen Minyao leaped into the air, her eyes glowing. She attacked the murder of crow demons using her wind slash that came from her enchanted fan. Gusts of wind hit some of the crow demons and killed them in an instant. It didn't matter if she had the same rank as these lowly demons because her vast experience and abilities were enough to overwhelm them. 

"Die, birdbrains!" 

Those who were able to avoid the fox woman's attacks shook their feathers and made a shrill, terrifying call, informing the other birds that there were trespassers in their territory. 

Jiang Chen was forced to cover his ears from the loud noise coming from the crow demons. Did Shen Minyao fail to realize that what she had done only made their situation turn for the worse by alerting the demons within the vicinity? 

"She really doesn't know how to be considerate to her companions, huh," Mu Qing commented next to Jiang Chen, "Anyway, let's take this time to differentiate the demons around us." 

Jiang Chen wanted to complain. He really had no idea how to do it, and Mu Qing and Shen Minyao weren't giving him a clue at all. Did they expect him to do as he was told? As if differentiating among a lot of demons at once was that easy! 

Following the fox woman's lead, Mu Qing unsheathed his sword and swung it into the air, killing several demons in the process. The crow demons scattered away from them, while Xiao Bai collected demonic orbs, the small beads that fell from the fallen birds. 

"Heh, do you think you were the only one capable of making barriers? You can't get away from me!" Shen Minyao then cast a spell to forbid the crow demons from escaping from them, setting up a strong barrier around the four-kilometer radius. 

The crow demons tried to force it to break, but they failed. Their shrill cries continued as their number continued to dwindle, while Shen Minyao and Mu Qing continued their incessant attacks to their murder. 

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen looked around, trying to focus on finding the leader of the murder. However, they were all the same in his eyes. He could only sense a stronger presence and demonic aura coming from this murder of crow demons. 

"I can't sense anything." He grimaced inwardly. 

At this rate, he would be useless for not being able to assist the fox demon and the grim reaper. What was the point of being here if he couldn't do anything to solve the problem? 

Suddenly, he sensed a great surge of demonic presence coming from a direction at full speed. Was this the leader of the crow demons they were looking for? 

Jiang Chen chose to step down from where he was standing. He didn't want to get dragged into the fight that was about to take place between the two demons. 

"It's coming! It's coming from nine o'clock!" He yelled to his two companions, who were both busy annihilating the demons around them. 

Shen Minyao stopped and turned her head in the direction within Jiang Chen's warning, while her familiar was busy collecting the demonic orbs they harvested during their kills. 

"Xiao Bai, give me the orbs. Hurry." 

She needed to boost her strength before the leader came, as she was certain she wouldn't be able to kill it in her current state. 

The white cat handed her the small bag containing the demonic orbs. Shen Minyao didn't waste time and devoured it like candies, as she waited for the arrival of the leader of the murder. Her strength continued to surge upon consuming the demon orbs they collected at such an insane speed. The actions were so swift that even Mu Qing had to halt his movements just to check on her. 

"How dare you?!" A loud, booming sound reached their ears, as the leader of the murder came rushing towards Shen Minyao. The fox woman easily blocked his blade using her fan, a wicked grin curling her lips. 

The leader of the murder appeared half-human, half-bird; unlike the other crow demons around him. He had the body of a human, but his arms served as his wings. His whole body, aside from his face that was so pale, was also covered with black feathers. 

His eyes were like red rubies, sparkling brightly in the darkness of the night. In his right hand, he was holding a spear with a blade on top of it. In Shen Minyao's rough estimate, this demon was about at least three hundred years old.

The fox woman pushed him away with her inhuman strength, despite the fact that this crow demon was several times higher than her current rank. It was necessary that she also devoured his orb to regain her strength faster. 

"Ah, you are finally here. What took you so long?" Shen Minyao taunted him, fueling his anger further. She was glad that he had willingly shown up and didn't waste their time looking for him. 

"I see. You really have a death wish to dare to feed on my kind!" He sneered back at her. He had been scouting the other parts of their newly acquired territory when he heard the shrill cry of his kind from where he was. 

"Heh. It's your fault for not being here to protect them. Why is it my fault now?" The fox woman chuckled in response, pleased to see the crow demon's annoyed expression. 

As a well-known, infamous fox demon, how could Shen Minyao not find amusement in another creature's frustration and suffering? She was known to be able to twist the truth and reasons in her favor shamelessly. Was he expecting her to spare them from the verbal insults? 

His eyes bled red, as he sneered at Shen Minyao, clearly agitated by her taunting. They had been living in this urban area for years now, and this was the first time that another demon had come to their territory.
