Speed Beyond Light

This little fox demon has some talent and good eyesight.

"It really was an arrow. Thank you for saving my life, sister."

Having received Feixiao's reply, Xiao Mi had no doubts whatsoever and immediately thanked him for his help. She couldn't imagine how miserable their fate would have been if they had fallen into the hands of those Feixiao priests.

"Could the Shooting Star before really have been arrows? But that's too outrageous..."

At this moment, Qing'er also began to have doubts, but she still found it hard to believe. Even those demon emperors were not that powerful.

If the Shooting Star just now was indeed the work of the person in front of us, then what is her background? Even in Tushan, we have never heard of such a powerful fox demon.

"Alright, let's not talk about that for now. Tell me about this place and what happened before."

More than anything else, Feixiao now wants to know about the world.

That system is useless; it hasn't made any progress yet.

"What happened before..."

After a moment's hesitation, the fox-spirit girls told Feixiao about their experiences.

They were living happily in a small village in the mountains, a village inhabited by fox spirits, when suddenly a group of Daoist priests appeared.

After killing a group of their people, they used talismans to control them all and imprisoned them in a dark place.

They suffered greatly there, told that they were to be trained and then given to others, or used to do things.

Until recently, a young Daoist priest, in order to satisfy his perverse desires, actually broke the talismans that sealed their demonic power. They then seized the opportunity to kill the Daoist priest and escape from that dark and sunless underground prison.

However, the Daoist priest they killed in their counterattack was no ordinary person. Not long after they escaped, they alerted the other Daoist priests, and thus began an endless escape and pursuit.

"The One Qi Dao Alliance... Fox Demon... Tushan... So this is the world."

Having learned about their experiences, Feixiao also gained a general understanding of the world.

This is a story about a human and a demon falling in love and their Reincarnation and Continuation of Fate.

Demons can fall in love with humans, and their lifespan is tens of millions of years.

Human lifespan is finite.

The man died, but the demon lived on.

Humans are reincarnated, but they don't remember the love from their previous life. If a demon is deeply in love, they can seek out a fox demon to "purchase" a service that allows the reincarnated person to recall their love from their past life.

It looks pretty good; it's a love story. But before humans and Demon Race could coexist peacefully, this world was incredibly cruel and realistic.

Coincidentally, this is a time when humans and demons are irreconcilable enemies.

If this were the world, it seems I would still be an invincible being.

All that mattered to her was that monkey and the creatures Outside the Circle.

The situation in this world is quite simple. At the beginning of the world, four great monkeys were born: the Great Monkey Long-Armed Ape, the Second Monkey Six-Eared Macaque, the Third Monkey Spiritual Stone Monkey, and the Fourth Monkey Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey.

They have cultivated unparalleled supernatural powers and are the strongest beings in the world.

Until one day, Monkey the Great, who was proficient in spatial magic, accidentally opened a spatial barrier. Countless alien creatures were discovered from the space. Monkey the Great died on the spot, but left behind two hairs.

One of the trees sheltered a portion of the human race, while another merged with alien creatures to become the Great Tree of Suffering.

Then Monkey the Second and Monkey the Third perished in a long battle against these alien races, that is, creatures from Outside the Circle, leaving only Monkey the Fourth.

Then, Monkey the Third inexplicably resurrected and gained even greater power than before. After defeating most of the alien races, he himself fell into a state of weakness and serious injury.

Seeing that he could not close the Space channel, Monkey the Third had no choice but to draw a circle to protect the native creatures, thus dividing the world into two worlds: the inner world and the Outside the Circle world.

What remains is the Reincarnation and Continuation of Fate centered around the Great Tree of Suffering, and the series of stories about Monkey the Third arranging and training talents to deal with the creatures Outside the Circle.

"... Sister, are you alright?"

Seeing that Feixiao was still not responding and was deep in thought, Xiao Mi couldn't help but call out again.

"Oh, it's nothing. Where were you guys?"

Feixiao snapped out of her daze and stopped thinking about it. No matter what kind of Monkey the Third Monkey the Fourth being told, whether Outside the Circle the circle, she was still invincible.

"We've told you all about our experiences, sister, but we still don't know your name or where you're from."

They had already introduced themselves and their experiences, but they still didn't know anything about the older sister from the same clan in front of them.

Such a powerful clan should not remain unknown.

"Me? My name is Feixiao. I come from the Xianzhou and am a general of the Xianzhou [Yaoqing]. So we should be considered acquainted."

The girl introduced herself.

It was none other than the Heavenly Strike General of the Xianzhou [Yaoqing], one of the Seven Generals of the Emperor's Bow.

Three-No General's, Heavenly Strike General, Great Victory General - Feixiao!

"Feixiao... the general of the Xianzhou [Yaoqing]? That's amazing. But... can I call you Sister Feixiao?"

That sounds complicated.

"Of course."

Feixiao is an unconventional, straightforward, and unrestrained person, so he naturally wouldn't care too much about this, especially since this isn't on the Xianzhou.

"Then, Sister Feixiao, where is the Xianzhou [Yaoqing]?"

"Where is the Xianzhou [Yaoqing]? Hmm, it's in a place very, very far away from here."

Unless I can connect this world with the Honkai: Star Rail universe in the future, there will be no interaction between us.

"A very, very far place?"

"Well, let's not talk about that now, someone's coming."

After responding, Feixiao suddenly looked towards the horizon to the side. Although they were still far away, she could already sense the humans rapidly approaching.

Chapter 3: Exceeding the Speed of Light

"Is... is someone coming? Could it be those Daoist priests catching up again?"

Upon hearing Feixiao's voice, the fox demon girls beside him were startled and looked somewhat worried. This was still the territory of the One Qi Dao Alliance, so it was impossible for Demon Race to have come after them.

They are most likely the Daoists from the One Qi Dao Alliance.

Because of their experiences, they have an instinctive aversion to and fear of the people of the One Qi Dao Alliance.

"Most likely, they were attracted by the commotion earlier."

The arrow that Feixiao earlier caused quite a stir, and if there were any Daoist priests nearby, they would naturally be attracted to it.

"You all leave here first and go to a safe place. Leave the person who came to me."

Feixiao flexed his wrists, considering the current conflict between humans and Demon Race in this world. If these people wanted to avenge those Daoists, Feixiao would not be merciful.

She is not a person of this world; she doesn't take sides with either humans or Demon Race. She only stands by her own side and does what she believes is right.

At least at this moment, she sympathized with the experiences of these fox spirit girls.

"But... what about you, Sister Feixiao?"

"There are many Daoist priests, and they also have Magic Treasure specifically designed to suppress demonic power."

Upon hearing Feixiao's words, the fox demon girls, though afraid of the Daoist priests chasing after them, also did not want Feixiao to cover their retreat alone and sacrifice himself to help them escape.

Even after experiencing so many tragedies, the girls still have their own bottom line and morals.

Although Feixiao is powerful, since ancient times, demons have been good at strength while humans are good at wisdom. Humans used to barely survive under the oppression of the Demon Race.

Until one day, humans suddenly obtained something called a "Magic Treasure," and began to possess the power to contend with the Demon Race.

Many of these Magic Treasure can subdue powerful demons and demon kings, such as the King's Might Sword and the Demon Extermination Divine Fire...

This is why many powerful demons have capsized in the treacherous hooks.

Don't worry.

Hearing the little fox's words of concern for him, Feixiao couldn't help but smile.

"The number of people has never been the key to victory or defeat."

"I have experienced countless wars and battles throughout my life, and I have never been defeated. If there is anyone in this world who can truly be my opponent, then I will have to look at them with new eyes."

Feixiao reached out and touched the fox ears of the little fox next to him; his confidence was infectious.

That kind of confidence in one's strength, that invincible spirit.

She will forge ahead fearlessly, and all the enemies in her way will become stepping stones for her to stand even higher.

"I am the general of the Xianzhou, the [Heavenly Strike General], the [Great Victory General], and even more so the [Three-No General] - carefree, regretless, and invincible."

"My only true opponent is myself..."

No matter how formidable an enemy may be, none of them are her true match. Feixiao's only true opponent has always been herself.

It is the self that must be surpassed, the restless Inner Beast.

"So instead of worrying about me, you should worry about the enemies."

"Alright, you guys should hurry up and leave! The commotion here is going to be quite loud soon."

Jiao Qiu was right about one thing: every time Feixiao made a move, it caused a huge commotion and destruction. Therefore, she wouldn't let these fox demon girls stay nearby, as it would affect them.

Although the fox spirit girls were still a little hesitant and worried about Feixiao.

But after calming down, they realized that not only could they not be of any help here, but they might even become a burden to Feixiao.

"Xiao Mi, Xiao Kui, let's listen to General Feixiao and leave first."

"With General Feixiao's strength, even if she is no match for those Daoists, they cannot stop her from leaving. Our presence here is actually making it more difficult for her to move around."

Seeing the hesitation of Xiao Mi and the others, Qing'er, who was more rational, directly pulled them back. Although she hadn't witnessed Feixiao's strength firsthand, just from the aura she exuded, she knew that her strength was definitely not simple.

She noticed Feixiao's body in particular; although it was as white as jade, the muscles and the explosive power hidden beneath his skin were undeniable.

She even felt that Feixiao in front of her could kill a powerful demon king with a single punch.

Instead of blindly worrying about her here, it's better to leave first and let Feixiao unleash her full potential without any worries.

"I see."

Although still hesitant, Xiao Mi and the others didn't insist any further, not wanting to become a burden. So, led by Qing'er, they reluctantly left.

After watching the fox spirit girls leave completely, Feixiao withdrew his gaze and then turned his attention to the sky, where figures were rapidly approaching.

These Daoist priests fly incredibly slowly, far slower than many people from the previous world.

Although flying on a sword looks cool...

However, the Daoists in this world are somewhat unbalanced. They possess all sorts of Magic Treasure and supernatural powers from myths and legends, but in simplified versions.

Apart from a few individuals, most Daoist priests rely on Magic Treasure to fight their enemies.

Feixiao stood there, waiting for the Daoist priests to approach. After all, she didn't know if the Daoist priests would continue to hunt down the fox demon girls once she left.

Since we've offered to help, we should naturally see it through to the end.

Moreover, she was also eager to see just how strong the cultivators in this world really were.

Before long, dozens of sword lights swiftly flew to the huge hole created by the Feixiao Arrow.

When the sword light stopped in mid-air, it could be seen that they were all Daoist priests dressed in the robes of the One Qi Dao Alliance. They were making a finger gesture with one hand and standing on a Flying Sword.

"What a huge hole! I didn't see it last time I came."

Looking at the enormous hole, a Daoist priest couldn't help but swallow hard. What kind of power could create such a massive crater?

"Could this be the cause of the commotion we just witnessed? Was it a shooting star? Why didn't we notice it before?"

"I don't know..."

"The group that captured that fox demon completely disappeared here; they're probably..."

"What should we do? The Xiao Family probably won't let this go easily, and that old man Xiao Wancheng just happens to be looking for an excuse to cause trouble..."

Although they didn't particularly like the Xiao Family, it had to be said that the Xiao Family members, relying on their status as inspectors, had turned the One Qi Dao Alliance into a chaotic mess, and very few people were willing to offend the Xiao Family.

After all, if you offend him, you'll inevitably be targeted by him at some point.

Is the Xiao Family powerful? Not necessarily. However, they are adept at manipulating public opinion, and given their special status, even the Wang Quan and Dongfang Family often have no choice but to accept it.
