Spirit Fox Dharma Image Devours White Tiger, Demon Fox Unleashes Its Might and Shatters Nine Treasures!
"Ah! I love you so much, Daddy Bai Tu!"
Ning Rongrong excitedly wrapped her arms around Bai Tu's waist, even using the very same name she'd shouted back when the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda had been enlarged.
"Daddy Bai Tu, I want to try the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's advanced form with you and see if its depth has changed!"
Ning Rongrong gazed seductively at Bai Tu, who was a head taller than her. Her tone was light, and her cheeks were tinged pink.
"Think you can handle it again?"
Bai Tu watched Ning Rongrong eagerly volunteer for a fight, amused.
"Mhm~"
Ning Rongrong gave a little snort and glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, who was still meditating.
This time, I'm going to be first!
Zhu Zhuqing can drink my dishwater!
Fierce fighting spirit flared in Ning Rongrong's eyes as she stared intently at Bai Tu!
"Nine Treasures Turn Into Glazed Glass!"
"First: Suppress!"
Her clear, sweet shout rang across the battlefield. Ning Rongrong struck first, taking the initiative and opening the fight!
Her brilliant, translucent pink Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda soared into the air, its body shimmering with radiant light. It carried an incomparably heavy force of suppression as it steadily descended, tightly pinning down the Demon Fox Martial Soul Bai Tu had summoned!
But the faintly mocking smile at the corner of Bai Tu's mouth had already exposed the truth of this standoff.
He had cultivated for a full two hundred thousand years, with an unfathomably deep foundation. This little bit of suppressive force was no more than a breeze brushing against him—nothing worth mentioning.
From beginning to end, he hadn't truly exerted himself. He was merely playing along with Ning Rongrong's attacks.
"Second: Absorb!"
"Third: Devour! Fourth: Pincer Attack!"
Ning Rongrong didn't dare let up. She activated four of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's amplification abilities in succession, doing everything she could to restrain the Demon Fox beneath it.
But as soon as the words left her mouth, her face turned deathly pale, every trace of color draining away.
Even though her Martial Soul had already evolved into the top-tier Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, far surpassing the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile of old, it was still an auxiliary-type Martial Soul. Its main function was to bolster and support; it had no powerful offensive or defensive abilities for suppression.
Trying to use an auxiliary Martial Soul to restrain a Demon Fox with explosive power instantly placed an enormous strain on her.
In midair, the pink glazed pagoda shuddered violently. Its light flickered on and off, and cracks spread across its patterns. It teetered as if it might shatter into pieces and come crashing down at any moment!
"I haven't even used my full strength, and you're already unable to hold on?"
Bai Tu let out a quiet scoff, his tone touched with lazy amusement and mockery.
He had deliberately restrained most of the Demon Fox's power and held back its attacks. Even so, the Demon Fox's naturally powerful body and deep Soul Power reserves alone had already pushed Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to its limit.
"Ah!"
A piercing cry of pain burst from Ning Rongrong's lips.
Although Bai Tu had held back at every turn, she had forcibly overdrawn her Soul Power and barely managed to restrain a powerful opponent. In the end, her actions had provoked a violent backlash from her Martial Soul.
Several sharp cracks rang out. The Demon Fox's fierce head suddenly slammed forward and smashed through the top of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, bursting out through the roof with a fierce gust of wind!
Fortunately, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul was extraordinarily resilient and could withstand tremendous force, absorbing most of the impact for her. Otherwise, that collision would have been enough to rupture her internal organs and leave her gravely wounded, coughing up blood on the spot.
Bai Tu pursed his lips slightly, a trace of helplessness flashing through his eyes.
She had the will to push herself, but not the strength to match. Her opponent's fierce attack had ultimately been all show and no substance.
He hadn't even gotten serious, yet his opponent was already falling apart.
"Zhuqing! Help me!"
Ning Rongrong could no longer hold on and cried out in pain, turning an urgent gaze to the side.
Zhu Zhuqing, who had somehow finished cultivating and was quietly standing nearby, watching the fight, was instantly pulled into the fray!
Ning Rongrong forced down the roiling blood in her body and the agonizing backlash. As she did everything she could to use the tottering glazed pagoda to hold the Demon Fox in check, she raised a hand and lent Zhu Zhuqing support, helping her summon her Martial Soul at full speed.
Two gleaming white Tiger phantoms suddenly appeared. Their eyes blazed with fierce authority, and they guarded the space before them with the chilling might of Netherworld divine beasts.
"Now that's interesting."
Bai Tu's eyes brightened. With a low shout, a gigantic Spirit Fox Dharma Image burst into the open air and pounced straight at Zhu Zhuqing's White Tiger Martial Soul, bringing a surging, murderous aura with it!
The Spirit Fox opened its cavernous jaws, filled with icy fangs, and bit down hard on the gleaming white Tiger's body. An overbearing force of devouring erupted at once, greedily plundering the Tiger's Soul Power and essence.
"Ugh!"
Zhu Zhuqing's body shuddered violently, and she let out a muffled groan of pain.
She now felt firsthand just how terrifying the Spirit Fox's devouring power was. That strange, overwhelming suction was impossible to evade. It devoured not only her Martial Soul's Soul Power but seemed to tug at her very soul as well, leaving her whole body stiff and her mind shaken.
"I can't hold on! Zhuqing!"
Ning Rongrong's Soul Power was completely spent. Unable to keep restraining the Demon Fox, she cried out for help.
She released her power and dispelled the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's suppressive force, freeing the ferocious, savage Demon Fox completely.
Zhu Zhuqing pressed her lips tightly together, biting her lower lip hard. A look of determination flashed in her eyes.
With danger upon her and no way to retreat, she immediately summoned all her Soul Power and unleashed her own unique Self-Created Soul Skill!
"Netherworld!"
Her cool, sharp shout rang in every direction as the pitch-black Netherworld Domain abruptly spread out like a ten-thousand-foot abyss, stretching across the battlefield and firmly blocking the Demon Fox from pressing its advantage. Its dark aura engulfed the entire field.
"Then let me see just how much your trump card is worth."
Bai Tu remained composed. He let the Spirit Fox continue devouring the White Tiger's Soul Power, his eyes full of amusement as he calmly studied the Netherworld Domain before him.
When two opponents meet on a narrow road, the braver one wins. How could he back down even half a step?
Besides, how could Zhu Zhuqing's half-baked Self-Created Soul Skill, still far from perfected, truly stop his Spirit Fox?
"Rampage!"
The Demon Fox's eyes flashed with brilliant light. Its savagery burst forth completely as its body became a streak of crimson light and charged fearlessly into the pitch-black Netherworld Domain!
"Hiss!"
The Demon Fox's body was trapped by the Netherworld's soft boundary, locking it firmly inside the Netherworld!
The Demon Fox roared wildly, proclaiming its fighting spirit!
Darkness enveloped the Demon Fox, and a fierce, murderous aura rushed toward them.
Even though Ning Rongrong had splashed slick dishwater all over its body as she withdrew from the fight!
It still wasn't something a mere Soul Ancestor like Zhu Zhuqing could withstand!
At the same time, a familiar, overwhelming terror swept through Zhu Zhuqing's limbs!
The Demon Fox's boundless might suddenly surged within the Netherworld Domain! It slammed straight toward the domain's boundary!
"Ah!"
Zhu Zhuqing cried out. In that brief instant, the attack had sent her straight into a state of paralysis!
At the same time!
The despairing memory of the day she'd been crushed before abruptly flooded Zhu Zhuqing's mind. Her body trembled slightly against her will, and her voice was filled with unconcealable panic and fear!
"Rongrong, save me..."
