My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

Chapter 126 - Ruthless Demon (2)

"Enchant!" 

The fox woman's voice rang, and the moment the word left her mouth, the crow demon had lost control of his body. His red eyes bored into the white-haired woman who had cast a spell on him. 

This was the first time the fox woman used her enchant spell to try to manipulate another demon. Unlike the human puppets she had earlier, it was hard to have absolute control over them. Just like this crow demon that had stronger willpower, who could easily reject her influence over him. 

Two pairs of red eyes glared daggers at each other. One was trying to dominate the other, while the other was resisting the spell that was cast on him. 

Shen Minyao flicked her fingers, and a blue fox fire burned the crow demon alive. He yelled in pain as he resisted the bind that the fox woman had on his body.

Why? He wondered. Why couldn't he break free, even though he was obviously physically stronger than the fox demon? 

However, he would never understand that it was their mental age and experience that set them apart. The fox woman had lived for over nine hundred years, and he had only been in this world for a few centuries. He was nothing but a child in the fox woman's eyes. 

From afar, Qin Zhi thought that his sister had done a good job. If she had to fight the crow demon head to head, there was no doubt that she would be overwhelmed with his inhuman strength, something that she was lacking right now. 

She would use her advantage to cast magic. An enchantment spell was one of the high-level abilities of the fox demons. The stronger the spiritual power and mental strength, the stronger the enchantment could become. 

However, not many fox demons were able to utilize the enchantment spell to its fullest potential, unlike his sister. At their young age, even before he and Daji were able to manifest their human forms, his sister was way ahead of him when it came to using magic. It was for this reason that they were able to protect themselves from being killed by humans before they reached their first century. 

Furthermore, with the crow demon's body being restrained by her enchantment spell, the only thing that would pose a problem would be how long she would be able to keep up with it. Time would be crucial for her to win. If she suddenly lost her control over the crow demon, he would be able to escape and heal his injuries. By then, she wouldn't have any other ways to defeat him. 

Shen Minyao flexed her claws as the crow demon screamed from being burned alive. No other magic could extinguish her fox fire. She might be physically weaker than the crow demon, but she would never admit defeat that easily. 

"This is the price for humiliating me earlier." Her half-lidded eyes couldn't hide the mischief in them. She was immensely pleased to see the crow demon howling in pain as her fire continued to consume him. Unless he was able to break from her enchantment spell, there was no way he could get away from her fox fire. 

Jiang Chen hardened his jaws, hands clenching on his side, as he watched the crow demon roast in the heat of the impossible flame. It didn't matter if it was a demon; Jiang Chen still had a hard time stomaching the torture Shen Minyao had done to her opponent. She was truly a ruthless demon! 

The black feathers clinging to the crow demon's body had been burned until there was only flesh scalded red by the fire. It took Jiang Chen a while to believe that this was still the same demon they had seen earlier. 

Jiang Chen couldn't bear to watch it anymore and looked away. He couldn't even look at Shen Minyao whose clothes were drenched in her own blood. Thank goodness neither Li Fei'er nor Lu Anqi was here, or else they wouldn't be able to sleep at night after these. 

This was inhumane in his opinion. Couldn't Shen Minyao kill the other demon in the quickest way… and not torture him to death like this? It might be the way of the demons, but that didn't mean Jiang Chen agreed with it. 

The crow demon continued to howl… until his voice slowly weakened as he struggled in futility. With Shen Minyao's enchantment spell and fox fire, the spiritual powers she gained earlier were starting to deplete. The crow demon should die first, or else she wouldn't be able to survive this battle any further if it regenerated its missing limbs. 

It seemed that Mu Qing also shared the same sentiment Jiang Chen had in this predicament.  He then raced to the place where the crow demon was and stabbed him straight in his heart, killing it. Mu Qing didn't think that there's a need for them to watch the crow demon being incinerated to death by the fox woman. 

Shen Minyao blinked, and the fox fire around the crow demon slowly dissipated, his body falling lifelessly on the ground. 

"What have you done, Mu Qing?!" She growled at him. 

"Killed him. What else. Don't worry, I didn't break his demon orb. Isn't that what you wanted in the first place?" Mu Qing said in response as he sheathed his sword back to its scabbard. He looked at the half-burned body of the crow demon and looked away. 

Shen Minyao's demonic features slowly faded until her white, silky hair turned black, with the fangs receding to their previous state. She then walked towards the crow demon and impaled its chest with her sharp claws. She dug its demonic orb that was soaked in its blood. 

"Ha. Finally." She smirked as she fished out the largest demonic orb she got since her awakening.. She then placed it in her mouth and swallowed it whole, not wasting another time to absorb its energy.
