Qin Bo Takes Action

"Interesting, but this won't save you."

A hint of surprise flashed in the white fox's eyes, but it quickly reverted to disdain.

It waved its claws, and black yin malevolence surged towards the barrier like a tide, attempting to break through it.

The barrier trembled violently under the white fox's attack, its light flickering erratically.

Lin Yu did his best to maintain the power of the talismans, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

He knew that once the power of the talismans was exhausted, their lives would be forfeit.

In the ruins, Zhou Ruixue and her companions were also struggling to stand up.

Although they were seriously injured, they endured the pain and prepared for a final stand against the white fox.

"Don't give up, everyone! We can definitely hold out until rescue arrives!"

Zhou Ruixue shouted, encouraging her companions.

The fox anomaly's attacks relentlessly bombarded the barrier.

Fortunately, due to its strength being weakened, it only possessed Evil level peak power, which was equivalent to the Blood Condensation Realm.

After attacking for a long while, the barrier remained motionless.

The fox anomaly grew frustrated.

Suddenly, it turned its head towards the collapsed houses.

A sly smile appeared on its lips.

It quickly rushed into the ruins and emerged carrying an infant.

The infant was wailing loudly.

"Did you think you'd be safe hiding in your turtle shell?!"

"Are you going to save this child or not?"

Zhou Ruixue and the others' expressions instantly turned extremely ugly when they saw the infant in the fox anomaly's hands.

Lin Yu's eyes turned bloodshot as he glared at the fox anomaly in anger.

"You despicable beast, release that child!"

Lin Yu roared, the light of the talismans in his hand flickering, and the spiritual power barrier trembled slightly due to his emotional fluctuations.

"Hmph, you want me to release this child? Then obediently come out of the barrier and face your death, otherwise..."

As the fox anomaly spoke, it extended its sharp claws and gently placed them on the infant's tender neck.

With just a little force, it could take the child's life.

Zhou Ruixue was anxious; she knew the fox anomaly's malicious intentions.

Once they stepped out of the barrier, they would certainly meet their end.

But how could she bear to watch an innocent infant's life be threatened in the fox anomaly's hands?

"Lin Yu, don't go out! This is the fox anomaly's scheme!"

Zhou Ruixue said, suppressing the pain in her heart.

Lin Yu gritted his teeth, his heart in turmoil.

He understood that Zhou Ruixue was right, but the infant's cries were like sharp blades, piercing his heart.

"Well?! Are you coming out or not?!"

"Hmm?!"

As the fox anomaly spoke, it exerted force with its fingertips, already breaking the infant's skin and causing scarlet blood to flow.

The fox anomaly stuck out its tongue and licked it.

A look of intoxication appeared on its face.

"Ah, as expected of a newborn, this fresh blood is truly delicious!"

Lin Yu's eyes were about to burst.

In the end, he put away the talismans, and the barrier immediately disappeared.

"Fox anomaly, put the child down!"

"Heh heh heh... As expected, human emotions are just like this."

The fox anomaly narrowed its eyes slightly, making its fox head look even more bizarre.

"Lin Yu, don't! Quickly open the barrier, I don't want to die!"

"An infant isn't worth risking our lives to save."

At this moment, Li Yao rushed up, grabbed Lin Yu's hand, and shouted hysterically.

Lin Yu angrily shook off Li Yao's hand.

"Li Yao, what are you saying? That's an innocent life!"

Zhou Ruixue also stepped forward, looking at Li Yao with a solemn expression.

"Li Yao, as reserve warriors of the Demon Suppressing Division, it is our duty to protect the people. How can we stand by and watch them die?"

Li Yao wanted to say something more, but he was forced back by the angry gazes of his other companions.

At this moment, the fox demon looked at the crowd, its eyes full of mockery.

"Since you're all here, then you can all die!"

The fox demon's expression turned fierce.

It opened its mouth wide, ready to swallow the infant in one gulp.

"No!"

Lin Yu roared and rushed towards the fox demon at lightning speed.

In the next moment, a figure moved even faster than him.

As the blade flashed, everyone stopped in their tracks.

Accompanied by a shrill scream.

The fox demon's claws fell straight to the ground.

A figure was holding the baby, coaxing it.

"Ooh ooh, don't cry, be good."

"Qin Bo?!"

Zhou Ruixue was overjoyed and cried out in surprise.

Qin Bo smiled and soothed the baby, holding it in his arms.

In his other hand, he held a butcher knife.

He had been rushing about, killing the anomalies everywhere, when he suddenly sensed a huge power.

That was why he rushed over and happened to see Lin Yu retracting the energy barrier.

Although he didn't agree with Lin Yu's approach, their spirit was commendable.

Therefore, he saved the baby at the critical moment.

At this time, the fox demon's claws were severed at the wrists, and black blood gurgled out. It bared its teeth in pain, its eyes full of resentment as it stared at Qin Bo.

"You... you dare to hurt me! I'll make you die!"

The fox demon roared, and yin malevolence rapidly condensed. The severed claws were restored again, and several black yin malevolence blades shot towards Qin Bo.

Qin Bo's expression was calm, and the butcher knife in his hand moved quickly, blocking all the yin malevolence blades.

"In your current state, you still want to hurt me?"

Qin Bo sneered, his figure flashed, and he rushed towards the fox demon like a ghost.

The fox demon was shocked when it saw this. It wanted to retreat and dodge, but it found that Qin Bo's speed was too fast, and it was too late.

Qin Bo raised the butcher knife high, and a blade of light containing powerful vital energy slashed towards the fox demon.

The fox demon used all its strength to condense a huge claw print to grab Qin Bo.

"Boom!"

The butcher knife went forward without hesitation, directly splitting the fox claw.

The fox demon's desperate blow was easily resolved by Qin Bo, and its eyes revealed extreme fear and unwillingness.

Before the fox demon could make any other moves, Qin Bo took advantage of the situation and moved forward.

Vital energy was poured into the butcher knife, and with lightning speed, another slash was fiercely delivered.

This slash contained Qin Bo's powerful strength, directly cutting off one of the fox demon's hind legs.

The fox demon let out a miserable howl, collapsed to the ground, and its aura quickly weakened.

But just when everyone thought the battle was about to end, the fox demon suddenly flashed with light and disappeared into a wisp of black smoke.

"It got away!"

Lin Yu said with frustration.

Qin Bo frowned, handed the baby to him, and turned to chase after the fox demon's escape direction.

"Black Charcoal!"

While running, Qin Bo called out.

In the darkness, a shiny black shadow quickly jumped onto Qin Bo's shoulder.

The two chased out together.

Qin Bo had already discovered Black Charcoal's ability, with its extraordinary speed and keen perception, it could track all kinds of auras.

At this moment, Black Charcoal stood on Qin Bo's shoulder, its nose twitching slightly, locking onto the direction the fox demon had fled.

Following the direction indicated by Black Charcoal, Qin Bo sped through the intricate streets and alleys of Yunzhou City.

The buildings along the way left only blurred afterimages as he sped past.
