Adhering to the principle of 'strike while the iron is hot,'
Zhao Huai decided to launch a sneak attack.
"There's a human scent."
The Fox Demon woman sniffed the air, noticing something amiss, originating from the cabinet nearby.
She flung open the cabinet door and shrieked.
"My skins!"
"Who! Who touched my things!"
The Fox Demon woman screamed hysterically.
These human skins were the result of her many years of accumulation, all excellent high-quality goods, and hard to come by.
The Fox Demon woman immediately turned her gaze back, looking under the bed, feeling very anxious.
"The masks can't be damaged."
She had used a large amount of Demonic Qi to create these masks, which could perfectly disguise her as a human, eliminating the disguise of Demons and Monsters. There were also skins resembling other Demons and Monsters, which were her means of survival and livelihood among the Demons and Monsters.
Behind the screen, a pair of eyes flickered slightly, waiting for the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
"The screen..."
The Fox Demon woman walked to the bedside and discovered that the lingering scent in the air was still present. Her pair of fox eyes stared over, and the Demonic Qi in her whole body began to gather.
At that instant,
A sharp sword light flashed, several meters long, tearing through the screen and piercing towards her eyes.
The Fox Demon woman's entire body erupted with Demonic Qi, desperately resisting the attack.
Sword Qi surged, whistling through the air.
She quickly realized that she couldn't withstand this blow head-on. Gritting her teeth, the black gas split into two halves, trying to dodge the attack.
But she was still a bit slow. The terrifying Sword Qi pierced through her body, shattering everything.
Only a small amount of black gas escaped.
When she reformed into a human shape, her face had already turned extremely pale.
Half of the wall in the room had been cut away, leaving a deep sword mark.
Zhao Huai's figure stepped on the screen that had been shattered into powder and slowly walked out.
"You actually ambushed me!"
The Fox Demon woman gritted her teeth.
She would never forget this man's face, even in death.
He had destroyed several of her Human Puppets and killed her only clone.
And then there was his wife, who had beaten her to the point of crawling on the ground.
Now, he was actually launching a sneak attack without any martial ethics! "This sword still missed the mark a bit, but it's not a big deal. I'll just add another one."
Zhao Huai said calmly, then threw out a purple Dao Talisman.
The entire room was immediately suppressed by the Dao Talisman, to prevent the Fox Demon from continuing to escape.
The Fox Demon's expression changed.
At this moment, she realized that she was no longer a match for the man.
Her primordial spirit had been split too many times, and she was injured, in too poor of a condition.
So the Fox Demon woman changed her expression, put on a pitiful look, pulled down her dress, revealing her snow-white shoulders, and said weakly, "Am I pretty, sir~"
"Very pretty."
Zhao Huai said with a smile, as the black gas in front of him slowly gathered, fixing on the position of her eyes.
"Then can sir let this humble one go? My name is Hu Xiangxiang, I'm the youngest in my family, and I still have a grandmother to take care of."
"As long as you spare me, I can do anything for you, darling~"
The Fox Demon woman blinked her beautiful eyes, looking pitiful.
"Really? I don't believe it, unless you kneel down first." Zhao Huai raised an eyebrow.
"My lord, you're playing something so perverted~"
The Fox Demon woman giggled, then did as she was told, kneeling down obediently.
"Raise your head and look at me."
"Alrighty."
In an instant, Zhao Huai suddenly burst into action, stabbing with his sword.
"Swish!"
The direction was right for the eyes.
Pfft.
As the sword pierced, ripples of True Qi splashed out, followed by a large amount of black Demonic Qi gushing from the Fox Demon woman's eyes.
"Ah!!" The Fox Demon woman covered her eyes, screaming miserably, "You tricked me!!"
The Fox Demon woman clutched her eyes and fell to the ground, rolling back and forth, black Demonic Qi spewing out uncontrollably, the human skin on her face falling off, revealing a ghastly, fanged fox face, both hideous and furious.
She couldn't believe that this handsome man was so insidious, that the purpose of making her kneel was to stab her eyes! "Your appearance is not even worth a strand of my wife's hair."
Zhao Huai sneered and delivered another sword strike to the Fox Demon on the ground.
Soon, the black Demonic Qi on the Fox Demon woman's body was completely emptied, her primordial spirit dissipated, and she was dead as could be.
"It has to be this posture, otherwise I can't hit the weak point."
Zhao Huai casually twirled his sword, feeling much more comfortable in his heart.
He had said a few extra words just to aim for the weak point, otherwise he wouldn't be able to break the Fox Demon's primordial spirit.
Any powerful Demons and Monsters have weak points; only by breaking the weak point can they be truly killed.
Coincidentally, Zhao Huai's [Demon-Revealing Eye] Destiny allowed him to see the weak points on every Demon and Monster, comparable to a Demon Slayer Magical Treasure.
Zhao Huai took out another box of masks he had just seized from the Mysterious Ring, and thought about it.
Burn them or not?
Let's see what the copper coins say. Zhao Huai took out the copper coins and tossed them again.
[Misfortune and fortune depend on each other, let's just watch] [Divination Sign 1: Thousand Faces Without Shadow, Fox Demon magic, collect it, the instruction you received is "Fortune."] Tracing Guidance: Exquisite mask, quite usable.
"I can use the masks refined by this Fox Demon?"
Zhao Huai muttered, feeling very strange.
At the same time, a bright orange light entered his mind.
"Another Earth-Grade?"
Zhao Huai's eyes lit up.
[Demon Slayer (Earth-Grade Middle)]: Your attack methods are a threat to Demons and Monsters, damage is amplified, and for every Demon you kill, your cultivation will improve significantly.
"Every time I kill a Demon, my cultivation will improve? This is an infinitely growing type of Destiny, a bit powerful."
Zhao Huai smiled, "Is this encouraging me to slay Demons and exterminate monsters?"
The only pity was that this Destiny only appeared after killing the Fox Demon, otherwise he could have experienced what it felt like to have his cultivation improve.
Zhao Huai picked up a woman's mask from the wooden box and put it on his face, feeling a cool sensation on his face, like a facial mask.
Looking in the mirror, he examined himself, and his face had turned into another appearance.
It was the appearance of a young lady from a respectable family, with curved eyebrows when she smiled.
"There's also a pig head mask."
Zhao Huai took off the mask and found another peculiar mask in the wooden box, one that was very ugly.
He put it on to try it out and discovered that his reflection in the mirror had actually turned into a pig's head.
Just like Zhu Ganglie.
"It's truly ugly."
An idea suddenly flashed through Zhao Huai's mind.
"With this mask, could I disguise myself as a Demon and Monster?"
As he was thinking this, a sound came from the stairs again.
Zhao Huai took off the mask and put the box away.
Activating the Demon-Revealing Eye, his gaze was like a torch, and the Demonic Qi in front of him had nowhere to hide.
But the Demonic Qi had already completely disappeared, with little remaining.
From this, it could be seen that the person at the door was not a Demon.
"Bang!"
The door was opened.
A woman in white clothes embroidered with plum blossoms appeared at the door, and when she saw Zhao Huai, she said in surprise:
"Husband? Why are you here?"
