Dragon of Destruction (I)

Little Fox stopped taking over Fanxin's body. Instead, Little Fox quickly withdrew the soul power released earlier and stored all of it inside.

Then Little Fox stared deep into Fanxin's mind with a grave expression, eyes unblinking, seemingly afraid of missing something.

Fanxin suddenly felt very comfortable, as though his soul had found something to rely on.

He quickly entered his mind and began taking control of his body. This time, he encountered no resistance. Even the previously ferocious Little Fox did not interfere.

Once he had control of his body and occupied most of his mind, he went over to Little Fox and asked, "Hey, have you finally come around and decided not to take over my body? Don't worry, I don't mind sharing a body with you."

"Hmph, I haven't come around at all. I'd love nothing more than to drive your soul out right now and take your body for myself," Little Fox snorted.

"Oh? Then why did you give up?" Fanxin asked, puzzled. He hadn't sensed anything unusual. He couldn't understand why Little Fox had given up.

"Hmph, brat Fanxin, is there some powerful fellow living inside your body?" Little Fox asked.

"A powerful fellow? No, I haven't felt anything!" Fanxin asked in confusion. "Did you see it? Where is it? Tell me."

"Over there!" Little Fox said, pointing ahead.

Fanxin froze for a moment, then walked in that direction. Little Fox hesitated briefly before following him.

After walking for a while, Fanxin saw a blurry shadow ahead. There was a tower in front of him. It had nine stories and was pitch-black, though he had no idea what kind of tower it was. A colossal creature lay before the tower, its body coiled around its head. Without getting closer, there was no way to tell what kind of creature it was.

Its body was covered in fearsome, dark scales. The space around it kept collapsing and then returning to normal, a bizarre sight.

Although he was still far away, Fanxin could feel boundless pressure. He knew that, compared to it, he was nothing more than a tiny ant.

If he angered this giant, he would surely die a terrible death.

"W-what on earth is that? Why is it in my mind?" Fanxin was baffled. He had never noticed the tower or the colossal creature before. Seeing them today had truly frightened him.

"Do you really have no idea?" Little Fox glanced at Fanxin and asked.

"Why would I need to lie to you? This thing is incredibly powerful. If I'd known there was a giant creature in my mind, do you think I wouldn't have been scared?" Fanxin said.

"That's true," Little Fox said with a nod.

"Is this the reason you stopped trying to take over my body?" Fanxin asked.

"That's right. As long as it's here, I can never take control of your body. To control your body, I have to kill it," Little Fox said.

Fanxin pondered for a moment. "You'd better not. I sensed it for a moment, and this thing is really powerful. If you attack it, the consequences will be terrible. I think we'd be better off living together in peace. What do you say?"

"No. I absolutely refuse to share a body with anyone. I want your body all to myself," Little Fox immediately rejected the idea. Little Fox hated humans and would never share a body with Fanxin.

"Why do you have to do this?" Fanxin said, at a loss for words. "Fine. If you want to attack it, go ahead. If you die, don't blame me for not warning you."

Little Fox snorted and headed forward.

As Little Fox walked, the body grew larger. By the time Little Fox was a short distance from the colossal creature, the body was already enormous, several hundred times Fanxin's size. All nine tails were raised, like a peacock spreading its tail.

"Whoa, Little Fox is a giant too! Why are there so many monsters in my mind?" Fanxin's eyes widened in disbelief at the transformation. He had thought Little Fox was small, never expecting the original form to be so enormous.

Fanxin shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and backed away. He had no desire to get caught up in this fight.

After approaching the colossal creature, Little Fox shouted, "Hey, big guy, wake up! I have business with you!"

Little Fox was in a foul mood, having been on the verge of success. But unexpectedly, an obstacle had appeared out of nowhere. Now Little Fox had no choice but to put the attempt to take over Fanxin's body aside for the time being and deal with this giant.

Little Fox called out repeatedly, but the creature ignored every call and kept sleeping.

Little Fox flew into a rage and brought all nine tails together to form a circle. Then the nine tails exerted force at once, sending soul power into the center of the circle to form a ball. As time passed, the ball of soul power grew larger and larger.

When the ball of soul power was as large as Little Fox's head, Little Fox stopped and sent it hurtling toward the colossal creature.

The ball of soul power sped forward and reached the colossal creature, then slammed into its body.

"Explode!" Little Fox shouted. A moment later, the ball of soul power exploded.

The explosion was tremendously destructive, destroying many things nearby. Many scales also fell from the colossal creature's body.

Roar...

The exploding ball of soul power had stung the colossal creature. Enraged, it began to wake up and let out a furious roar.

The sound rumbled like a thunderclap.

Little Fox immediately retreated several steps, sensing danger.

The colossal creature slowly raised its head. A moment later, its head emerged from the coils of its body. It was a massive dragon's head, with long whiskers and eyes the size of an adult's fists. Its two horns were enormous as well, like two great forks of a tree.

Clearly, this was a giant dragon.

Yes, it was a giant dragon. The dragon looked at Little Fox and said coldly, "You're provoking me. Are you prepared to die?"

The dragon was furious. It had been fast asleep, only for Little Fox to attack it unexpectedly. That was something it could not tolerate. It decided to teach this ignorant fool a lesson.

"Hmph, you may be powerful, but that doesn't mean you can kill me," Little Fox said. "I'm taking this body. If you leave, there won't be any conflict between us. If you don't, we'll have to fight."
