My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

Chapter 124 - Miscalculation (2)

He didn't care about it anymore, what his master would think if he killed the nine-tailed fox demon right now and failed to present her demonic orb. It wasn't like she had it right now anyway. He couldn't sense her orb from her mortal body. Wasn't it for this reason she shamelessly killed his kind and devoured their orbs? 

It didn't matter what her reasons were. He would kill this fox demon regardless of what could happen to him in the future. 

Shen Minyao had already expected this reaction from him, and she was pleased that he was now blinded with rage. Indeed, it would be dangerous for her to get head to head against a mid-rank demon, but if she didn't force him to go all-out against her, she wouldn't be able to extract his powers to the fullest. 

The crow demon attacked her once again, this time allowing his instincts to overcome him. He managed to hit Shen Minyao with a powerful attack and sent her body flying to one of the buildings once again. She tried to lessen the impact to protect her body, but she didn't have enough time as the crow demon continued its incessant attacks. 

She was hit once again, and her body left a large crater as her back hit the concrete wall. Shen Minyao coughed out blood, her eyes losing focus on what was in front of her. 

Too strong. The leader of the crow demons was too strong for her to defeat. Despite the fact that she had devoured over a hundred orbs tonight, she was still weak compared to this crow demon. 

"Oh, no. She cannot defeat him at this rate!" Xiao Bai exclaimed as he considered releasing the seal the fox woman placed on him to unleash his true form and powers. However, before he could come up with a decision, Mu Qing surged forward and joined the battle once again. 

The grim reaper forced the crow demon away from Shen Minyao as she continued to vomit blood behind him. 

"I don't need your help," she said, her eyes flashing red as she looked at Mu Qing. She even growled. "Do not interfere, Mu Qing." 

"I'm not helping you, fox." Mu Qing was having a hard time keeping up with the crow demon, as the latter's immense raw spiritual power as a mid-rank demon was just too strong. "It's my job to dispose of demons that break the law of life. I shouldn't let another demon do the job for me." 

"Get out of my way!" The crow demon yelled, his spiritual force pushing Mu Qing away from him. "Fox, you would regret stepping in our territory. You should have hidden yourself in your den below the ground!" 

During this time, Shen Minyao used the energy she collected to heal the internal injuries the crow demon inflicted on her body.

'Damn it.' She cursed inwardly.  Just how many demon orbs did she need to consume for her to defeat this crow demon? She thought. Did she miscalculate the true power of this demon? 

Once Mu Qing was thrown out of the way, Shen Minyao grew shocked. She didn't realize that she had been pinned on the ground by the crow demon. The cars on the street were forced to make a stop as the humans alighted to see what had caused a massive crater on the road. 

Her human body was caving in under the foot of the crow demon, her bones cracking from the intense pressure. There was simply no way for her to break free. 

"I have enough of you, fox. Your life ends today!" 

"Enchant!" With a breaking voice, the fox yelled. She could only enchant her host's body to mitigate the damages from the slow, crushing pressure brought by the crow demon. 

Not only could she enchant inanimate objects and humans around her, but the fox woman could also give her host's body a boost to withstand the outside forces that were being inflicted on her. 

If Shen Minyao's body was destroyed beyond saving, she would need to force her soul out of this body and find another appropriate host in the area. However, that was easier said than done. The fox woman only got lucky in possessing Su Daji's and Shen Minyao's bodies. Most of the time, the other human bodies she tried to possess had turned into ashes because they couldn't withstand the demon soul inside them. 

"Shen Minyao!" Mu Qing released a bright powerful blast towards the crow demon, but the latter easily dispelled it with its own power midair, causing a loud explosion. The terrifying, booming noise made the humans run away from the area. 

'Curse it.' The fox woman's eyes continued to bleed red as she held onto his leg with both hands, trying to lessen the pressure he had on her body. She had never been humiliated like this before, and she couldn't wait to slash his throat with her own hands. 

No. She refused to die like this. Never like this. The thought of Zhao Yichen waiting for her return crossed her mind, and she didn't want to break her promise to him this early. 

She had also promised Li Fei'er that she would come back safe earlier before they parted ways. 

It was only by then did Shen Minyao remember the talismans Li Fei'er had given her the other day. They were still untouched inside her coat. 

With difficulty, she reached into the side pocket of her coat with her right hand, while the other was keeping the foot on her chest from crushing her body entirely. Her hand made a hissing sound upon contact with the talismans, but she immediately threw them at the unsuspecting crow demon when he was slightly distracted by Mu Qing's attacks. 

The crow demon screamed in pain as the talismans touched his body, causing him to stagger away from the fox woman. 

'Li Fei'er, I have to thank you for this.'
