Crisis! Squad Trapped

Zhou Yunxuan's heart filled with joy. He aimed at the direction of the crack, and with a wave of the golden longsword in his hand, a powerful sword energy slashed towards the crack.

"Boom!"

The sword energy struck the illusion, shattering it instantly. The surrounding white mist was dispersed in large swathes, revealing parts of the real scene.

The Fox Demon's expression changed slightly upon seeing this. It hadn't expected Zhou Yunxuan to resist such intense illusory temptations and find the flaw.

"Hmph, you have some skill, but it's far from enough!"

The Fox Demon roared, waving its claws. The remaining white mist within the Ghost Domain rapidly condensed, transforming into giant white Fox Demons, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced towards Zhou Yunxuan.

These Fox Demons emanated a powerful Evil aura, each possessing the strength of an anomaly nearing the Evil level peak.

Zhou Yunxuan channeled his vital energy into the golden longsword, executing the top-tier sword technique passed down through generations of the Zhou family of Yunzhou City.

"Cloud Shadow Sword Art."

He moved like lightning, his sword casting multiple shadows. Each sword shadow carried a sharp sword energy, slaying the white Fox Demons.

"Shadow Kill!"

Zhou Yunxuan focused his vital energy in his eyes, pinpointing the location of the Fox Demon's true form.

A massive sword body instantly formed, thrusting out with a single strike.

"Ah..."

The Fox Demon's true form was unable to dodge, struck by the sword containing powerful vital energy and spiritual power, letting out a miserable scream.

Its body trembled violently, black blood gushing from the wound. The entire Ghost Domain shook violently due to the Fox Demon's injury.

"You... you were actually able to find me!"

The Fox Demon's eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness. It hadn't expected Zhou Yunxuan to find its true form and inflict such a heavy blow in such dire straits.

Zhou Yunxuan pressed his advantage, waving the golden longsword again. Several sword energies shot towards the Fox Demon like lightning.

The Fox Demon mustered its last strength, condensing a layer of black yin malevolence shield to defend.

The sword energy collided with the shield, erupting in a series of booming sounds. The shield teetered on the verge of collapse.

"Zhou Yunxuan, even if I die, you won't have it easy!"

The Fox Demon roared madly, preparing to initiate a final self-destruction, to perish together with Zhou Yunxuan.

The Fox Demon's aura began to surge wildly, distorting the surrounding space beyond recognition.

Zhou Yunxuan's expression turned solemn. He knew the power of the Fox Demon's self-destruction and couldn't sit idly by.

He rapidly circulated all of his vital energy, executing the strongest move of the Cloud Shadow Sword Art, "Cloud Breaks Firmament."

The golden longsword shone with boundless light, a sword energy containing earth-shattering power slashing towards the Fox Demon.

"Boom!"

The sword energy collided with the Fox Demon about to self-destruct, erupting in an earth-shattering explosion.

The Ghost Domain instantly collapsed, the powerful shockwaves rippling outwards, engulfing the entire west side of the city.

Zhou Yunxuan, caught in the blast, flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

But he endured the pain, his gaze fixed on the direction where the Fox Demon had been.

The Fox Demon's original yin malevolence aura had also vanished completely.

Only then did Zhou Yunxuan breathe a sigh of relief, slightly recovering his condition, and rose to rush towards the Demon Suppressing Division.

And on this silent battlefield, a White Shadow suddenly appeared, rushing into the darkness.

"Damn humans, to force me to use the self-destruction escape technique!"

"My strength has also fallen to the Evil level peak. Fortunately, the sealing formation has weakened a lot. In at most a year, My Lord will be able to break free. When that time comes, I'll make you pay the price."

The White Shadow muttered as it darted through the alleys.

The next moment, the sound of voices rang out not far ahead.

The White Fox abruptly halted its fleeing steps, hiding in the darkness to observe.

A young couple was heading towards the city.

"This is... heaven is helping me! Isn't that the City Lord's daughter?"

The young couple was none other than Zhou Ruixue's assessment disciple team.

Earlier, while killing anomalies, they had unknowingly ventured out of the inner city area.

A sinister glint flashed in the White Fox's eyes as it quickly hatched a vicious plan.

"Zhou Yunxuan, since you've made me so miserable, then I'll use your daughter to get back at you, so you can taste the pain of losing a loved one."

The White Fox silently followed behind Zhou Ruixue, Li Yao, Lin Yu, and the others, its figure blending into the darkness like a phantom.

Zhou Ruixue and the male disciples were completely unaware of the approaching danger, excitedly discussing the gains from this assessment.

"Ruixue, we've killed quite a few anomalies this time. We'll definitely receive rewards when we get back."

Li Yao said excitedly.

Zhou Ruixue smiled and nodded, "Yes, but we can't be complacent. There's still a lot we need to learn."

"Exactly, I always said that poor kid wasn't good enough to be with us. The gap will only widen in the future."

Just as they were talking, the white fox seized the opportunity and suddenly darted out of the darkness, its claws slashing towards Zhou Ruixue like sharp blades.

Zhou Ruixue felt a strong sense of danger rushing towards her. Alarmed, she quickly dodged to the side.

But the white fox was too fast, and its claws still left several bloody marks on her shoulder.

"What is that?!"

Lin Yu reacted quickly, immediately drawing his sword and watching the white fox warily.

"Hmph, a few small ants dare to act presumptuously in front of me."

The white fox sneered, exuding a powerful Evil level peak aura.

Lin Yu felt this powerful aura, and his face instantly turned pale.

They knew very well that with their strength, they were no match for this white fox.

"There's actually an Evil level monstrous beast!"

"Quick, send a signal for help."

Lin Yu instantly calmed down and signaled the people behind him to send a signal.

"Heh heh, want to send a signal?!

"Dream on!"

The white fox sneered.

Then, with a wave of its fox claw, yin malevolence instantly surged out, bombarding Lin Yu and the others' position.

"Bang!"

In the next moment, it exploded.

They were all blasted away by this force, crashing into the houses.

The houses instantly collapsed under the impact, raising a cloud of dust.

The white fox slowly paced forward, its eyes flashing with cruel light. It planned to take advantage of the injuries of the group and eliminate them in one fell swoop.

"With your little strength, you want to call for help from the outside world? Today is your death date."

The white fox's voice was cold and piercing, as if from the nine nether hells.

However, just as the white fox approached the ruins, a figure soared into the sky from the dust, it was Lin Yu.

Although he was injured in many places and his clothes were stained red with blood, his eyes revealed a look of determination.

"If you want to kill us, get past me first!"

Lin Yu roared, a talisman appearing in his hand at some point.

This was a life-saving talisman given to him by his master before he left, said to be able to unleash a powerful force beyond his current realm.

Lin Yu bit his finger and dripped blood on the talisman, and the talisman instantly shone brightly.

A powerful vital energy fluctuation emanated from the talisman, forming a huge barrier, temporarily blocking the white fox.
