Chapter 147: This is Too Tragic
Boom, boom–!!!
The Jade Fox Palace was caught off guard, and within moments, many disciples with lower cultivation were killed by spells, lying on the ground covered in blood.
Among them were even those cute and well-behaved little fox girls from earlier. The tragic scene unfolding before her eyes caused Hu Qianzao’s pupils to unconsciously dilate, her eyes filled with fury.
This was the first time she had seen such chaos within the Jade Fox Palace. Screams of agony and the sounds of battle melded into chaos.
Just then, Xing Yao urgently shouted, “Disciples of the Jade Fox Palace, heed my command, we are under attack by enemies, prepare to meet them–!”
However, the Jade Fox Palace had been peaceful for too long, and although they practiced regularly, they were unaccustomed to actual combat.
Even as the chief steward Xing Yao gave the order, it was hard for the people of the Jade Fox Palace to calm themselves.
Nevertheless, some of the more highly cultivated disciples had already begun to pair up and fight against the attackers in black who had come from the sky.
Spells continuously fell from the sky, killing those with lesser cultivation, while spells from the ground met those in the sky.
The battles between cultivators are often this brutal.
In an instant, many of the attackers in black were killed or injured, but the casualties were even greater on the side of the Jade Fox Palace.
Keep in mind, the attackers in black came prepared for an assault and did not bring those with lesser powers. Moreover, it seemed they didn’t care about the deaths of their companions and became even more frenzied.
Regardless of how the people of the Jade Fox Palace responded, they targeted those with lesser cultivation.
“Damn it, die–!!!” A wolf guard holding a long sword leaped hundreds of feet into the air, his sword slashing down, his form splitting into several spirit shadows in the air, cutting down several attackers in black.
However, these attackers in black continued to emerge endlessly from the dark vortex. By comparison, the defenses of the Jade Fox Palace were too weak.
The wolf guard landed on the ground, back-to-back with a female warrior behind him, as they looked around. They were surrounded by four or five attackers in black, with countless attacks coming their way.
The wolf guard parried with his sword, dispersing the spells, while the female warrior took to the sky, her wings flapping behind her, her spiritual power turning into countless flying feathers attacking those around her.
Many of the attackers in black fell. However, just at that moment, a sudden attack fell from the sky.
Boom–!!!
Both the wolf guard and the female warrior were caught in the blast of the attack, and as the spell exploded, they were thrown out, bloodied, and fell to the ground.
“Elder Ren Bai… Elder Hu Lan… save the Jade Fox Palace…” The female warrior, nearing death, had a lifeless look in her eyes, but her mouth was slowly pleading.
The male disciples of the Jade Fox Palace were handsome, and the female disciples were also beautiful and delicate.
She too was once a beautiful feathered being, but now she was in a sorry state, her face covered in blood, bleeding from the mouth, utterly tragic. And the one who had launched the attack was Ye Xuan.
He stood in the air, looking down at the wolf guard and female warrior he had killed, his eyes showing a hint of triumph.
He slowly spoke, “How pitiful, dying and still worrying about the Jade Fox Palace. Let me tell you a secret… the Jade Fox Palace is already finished today, no one can save it.”
Saying this, his gaze already shifted towards Hu Qianzao, “Alright, your task of bringing me here is completed, so next, your demon core, I’ll be taking it. The demon core of a nine-tailed spirit fox is said to be very nourishing–!”
Saying that, his form flashed, turning into a streaking shadow, attacking Hu Qianzao.
“Protect the palace master—!!”
Two wolf guards moved towards Ye Xuan, while Xing Yao and Yu Luo also stood in front of Hu Qianzao to protect her.
At this moment, Hu Qianzao, constrained by a malicious curse, had no ability to fight and could only rely on their protection.
“Ants should know their place—!!!” Ye Xuan let out a sinister laugh, conjuring a green spiritual energy in his hand, which quickly claimed the lives of the two wolf guards.
“Such meager strength, and you dare block my way? You don’t even arouse my interest to have a bit of fun.” Saying this, he slowly walked towards Hu Qianzao.
Suddenly, a shadow flashed beside him, and sharp claws reached out towards him. The shadow was small and agile, it was the cat-woman, Xing Yao.
At the same time, Yu Luo, holding a long sword and flapping her wings, attacked Ye Xuan head-on.
Ye Xuan raised one hand, transforming it into a wave of spiritual energy to block Yu Luo’s long sword, while his other hand reached behind him, grabbing Xing Yao’s wrist.
“If this were a normal time, I certainly wouldn’t mind playing with you two beauties. However, now the sect leader’s matters take precedence. So, apologies ladies, but you’ll have to wait for me on the road to the underworld—!!!”
“No—!!!”
Accompanied by Hu Qianzao’s sharp scream, Ye Xuan, without hesitation, stimulated the spiritual energy in his hand, violently shaking it, and sent Xing Yao and Yu Luo flying harshly.
“Thud—!!!”
Upon landing, both Xing Yao and Yu Luo spat out blood, and the magic treasures in their hands began to lose their luster.
When a magic treasure loses its shine, it signals the death of its owner. At this moment, Hu Qianzao was kneeling powerlessly on the ground, before her stood Ye Xuan with a cold expression.
Around her was the tragic scene of the Jade Fox Palace. The disciples of the Jade Fox Palace with strong abilities still had the power to protect themselves, but those with weaker cultivation had nowhere to escape.
Among them were even young girls, little fox-women, little cat-women…
Yet, those in black robes showed no mercy at all. The weaker the opponent, the happier they were to kill.
“Ha ha ha ha—!!!”
“Help—!!!”
Just moments ago, the Jade Fox Palace was a paradise.
Now, it resembled a hell on earth, everything before one’s eyes stained red with blood, the only sounds that could be heard were those evil laughs.
Hu Qianzao’s gaze at Ye Xuan was filled with deep-seated hatred. Yet, she was helpless against him.
All she could do was watch as Ye Xuan, with a mocking look in his eyes, slowly approached her.
———
The people of the Jade Fox Palace were stunned.
The transformation of the Jade Fox Palace, although Hu Qianzao had mentioned it and they were mentally prepared, they had not expected the situation to be so dire.
