My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

Chapter 123 - Miscalculation (1)

Mu Qing thought that taunting the crow demon would only make it agitated, but why was Shen Minyao doing this? He couldn't understand, not that the fox woman would explain her actions to him if he asked. 

Her familiar made it clear that this crow demon was in a higher rank compared to the fox demoness, so wouldn't it be more dangerous for them, after Shen Minyao's taunting? Or was she angering the crow demon for a reason? 

The crow demon's power continued to surge at an alarming rate, making the glass windows of the surrounding buildings shatter at the mere touch of his aura. 

So strong. Jiang Chen thought as he kept himself hidden from the demons. What was Shen Minyao thinking for her to anger the crow demon like this? Wasn't she afraid of getting killed by the other demon? 

Shen Minyao then surged to the air, going head to head with the leader of the crow demons. Her wind slashes collided with his sharp claws as he forced his way towards the fox demon. If he was already fast earlier, he was insanely faster now. 

Neither Mu Qing nor Jiang Chen could see what was happening between the two demons, aside from the sparks in the air upon the collision of their respective attacks. They were just too fast for their naked eyes. 

Qin Zhi remained rooted in his place, paying attention to the battle ahead of him. Unlike the human and the grim reaper, he knew the purpose of his sister's taunting. However, this was dangerous, especially in her current state. If the crow demon overpowered her completely, she might end up dead tonight. 

Qin Zhi considered his options again. Of course, for him who had lived for millennia, it was easy for him to get rid of the leader of the crow demons and annihilate his kind. However, his sister would take it seriously if he dared to interfere with her. His sister never had much patience in the first place, and she hated it when others sullied her plan. 

Shen Minyao attacked the crow demon from an aerial position with strong forces of wind. Since she had an affinity with fire and wind, it was easier for her to manipulate these elements in her favor. However, with her current level, it wasn't enough for her to use high-level spells and skills to easily kill her opponent. 

Their clash continued midair, each sending waves of impact to the surrounding buildings and making the humans flee for their lives. They were confused as to what was happening and if there was a terrorist attack in the area. The buildings around them continued to explode for unknown reasons. 

"Die! Die! Die!" The crow demon kept on saying it like a mantra. His eyes set ablaze with anger as he continued to assault Shen Minyao midair. 

"Is that your lifelong wish? Don't worry, I will make sure to fulfill it tonight." The fox woman burst into a round of maniacal laughter as she continued to taunt her opponent. 

However, it was clear that she was losing a lot of spiritual power. Her power was depleting so fast. Since she needed to keep up with the crow demon's speed while keeping herself safe from his assaults, Shen Minyao had to use more than she could generate. 

She leaped backward, forcing a safe distance between her and the crow demon. She needed to consume the demonic orbs all at once, and the remaining weaker crow demons around her should suffice to give her an energy boost. 

During their encounter with the spider demon, it reminded her of one of the skills she used to have in her past life. This ability allowed her to kill several humans and demons alike at the same time, and she wanted to test it to see if her new host could bear it. 

"Enchant." She spread her fingers on the sides of her body as she stood still with her eyes glowing red, her long, white hair fluttering wildly behind her as she forced out a blast of spiritual power from her both hands. 

Just like being shot by the arrow all at once, the cry of the fallen crow demons filled the barrier. Their red demonic orbs were all forced out of their bodies at the same time. 

Jiang Chen's jaws dropped upon seeing it. He had never thought that Shen Minyao was capable of blasting her own spiritual powers at other creatures. It was like firing ammunition all at once, at different angles at the same time. He briefly wondered what could happen if a human like him was hit by such power. He made a mental note to ask the fox woman or her familiar later. 

Even Mu Qing was surprised to witness what the fox woman had just done. She was able to blast her spiritual power at a high speed, killing her targets with precision. Was it her own skill, or did she derive it from the ability of the spider demon they defeated a few weeks ago? 

Qin Zhi crossed his arms and hummed to himself. He wasn't surprised by what his sister had done at all. She had done this in the past, so there was nothing new about it. Only that she had killed lesser demons this time. 

What Shen Minyao did was the quickest way to kill all the lower crow demons at once, saving her time and replenishing her energy faster as she fought their leader. 

As the demonic orbs flew towards her, Shen Minyao didn't need to open her mouth to devour it. As soon as it touched her spiritual aura, the orbs disintegrated into nothingness. Their energy was fully absorbed by her body. 

She could feel her spiritual power exceeding her limit, forcing her to level up her current rank. However, her latest action only infuriated her opponent further.. It was as if he had lost his logical mind upon witnessing his kind being annihilated by the fox woman.
