"Oh my, my little darling, you really are a sly one!"
She watched the Order Chains descend from the sky.
The Heavenly Fox Woman still wore a disdainful smile.
Clatter!
In an instant, the chains came crashing down from above.
They swept straight toward the little fox.
If they caught her, she might be reduced to ashes on the spot.
This was absolutely no joke.
The Hundred Broken Mountains imposed strict limits on the cultivation levels of those who entered.
If it discovered that someone had cheated their way in...
Heh, it would strangle them outright with the power of its laws!
Whoosh!
But the next moment, a jaw-dropping sight appeared.
An enormous phantom emerged behind the Heavenly Fox Woman.
It looked like the shadow of a Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox.
That was a Supreme-level greater demon!
It stood at the very ceiling of power in the Lower Realm.
Of course, this power did not seem to originate from the Heavenly Fox Woman herself.
She must have borrowed some external power.
Or used a magical treasure.
It instantly raised her power to a level that could rival a Supreme.
Only this formidable power...
Could keep the Heavenly Fox Woman from being strangled by the Hundred Broken Mountains.
A mass of pink light appeared around her body.
After the silver chains struck it repeatedly to no avail...
They could only retreat slowly into the sky.
There was nothing they could do.
Against a Supreme expert...
Even the order of the Hundred Broken Mountains was little more than decoration.
This was the most fundamental law of the entire world.
Might reigned supreme!
But the Heavenly Fox Woman had failed to notice something.
The eyes of the man she called her little darling were now shining.
It was the fierce gleam of someone eager for battle.
"Double Pupils, open!"
Gurgle, whoosh!
Scrape, scrape, scrape!
Hum!
It was a sound that was difficult to describe in words.
It spread outward, with the Broken Sword at its center.
Streak after streak of divine radiance suddenly appeared on the already rusted Broken Sword.
An eye suddenly opened on the outward-facing side of the Broken Sword's hilt.
In fact, it was an eye-shaped gemstone.
One with double pupils.
When those double pupils opened...
The Heavenly Fox Woman hovering in midair finally noticed something amiss.
What was going on?
Why had so many individual eyeballs appeared in the sky?
More precisely, they were images of eyeballs.
And they moved back and forth, looking utterly unnerving.
Some of the eyeballs even shone with golden light.
If the Heavenly Fox Woman had not still been in her Supreme state, a single glance would have made her heart quail.
Those with weaker cultivation might have gone temporarily blind at the sight of those enormous eyes filling the sky.
Even if they made it back alive, nightmares would haunt them endlessly.
"Th-this is the Double Pupils Art! How did you..."
At last, the Heavenly Fox Woman's expression changed.
She no longer dared to call him her little darling.
Because Shi Xiu was now radiating an aura that frightened even her.
Was this some kind of joke?
She was in her Supreme state right now!
Why was her heart still trembling involuntarily?
"My dear wife, does what you said earlier still count?"
"Wh-what? Ah, yes! As long as you can escape from me..."
The Heavenly Fox Woman was still talking tough.
But she clearly sensed that something was wrong.
The power pouring steadily from the Broken Sword had already surpassed the Supreme level.
And it showed no sign of stopping!
[Grass Character Sword Art]
With a soft grunt...
Shi Xiu slashed the Broken Sword in his hand through the void.
A streak of golden light visible to the naked eye hurtled toward the Heavenly Fox Woman in midair.
There was no dodging it.
Every angle had been sealed off!
The Heavenly Fox Woman felt as though he had locked onto her.
An inexplicable fear actually rose in her heart.
"D-damn it! I have a Supreme body right now! You-ah!"
Before the female Supreme could finish speaking...
She suddenly discovered that the sword energy before her had sliced through her defenses in an instant.
Then, without pausing, the terrifying golden sword energy slashed straight into the Heavenly Fox Woman.
This brat was ruthless!
He showed no tenderness toward a beautiful woman at all.
And she was the Saintess of the Heaven Severing Sect!
Yet he had cut her down without a moment's hesitation!
The Grass Character Sword Art already possessed the power to slay Supremes.
Now it had the combined power of the Double Pupils and the Broken Sword bolstering it.
Even if his opponent was powerful among Supremes, so what?
Could she withstand his sword?
Whoosh, boom, boom!
There was no suspense whatsoever.
The Heavenly Fox Woman was destroyed outright.
Then she turned into petal after petal.
As it turned out, this was not her true body.
It was one of her Spirit Avatars.
But the sword energy did not stop.
It slashed upward, following the Order Chains that had just retreated into the sky.
Not only did it swiftly catch up...
It shredded every one of those Order Chains.
It even tore a bright white streak through the sky of this small world.
A heaven-breaking slash-ruthless!
"Oh my, my little darling, you're so naughty! You actually broke my Spirit Avatar!"
It was still the Heavenly Fox Woman's voice.
But her true body was clearly elsewhere.
And her Spirit Avatar in the Hundred Broken Mountains had been shattered.
She would not be bothering him again anytime soon.
Still, there was unmistakable resentment in her tone!
"My dear wife, we had an agreement. You can't keep making things difficult for me!"
"Hmph, you nearly scared me to death! If that had been my true body, could you have brought yourself to cut me down?"
"Of course I couldn't bear to..."
Watching the petals scatter on the wind, Shi Xiu continued speaking with her.
But at that moment, he left two words unspoken.
[Yeah, right.]
If he encountered the Heavenly Fox Woman's true body in the future...
And she still threatened Shi Xiu or his family...
Did anyone think this brat would refrain from attacking?
The Void God Realm.
At the ruins of the Rain Clan.
A woman with several tails growing behind her was patting her chest, still shaken.
"You brat, did you have to be that frightening? I was going to give you the Rain Clan's Decree! Hmph!"
In truth, this little fox was not bad-hearted.
Otherwise, she would not have been caught so completely off guard.
Still, although he had slain one of her Spirit Avatars...
The little fox seemed to be growing more and more interested in Shi Xiu.
Women were simply such strange creatures.
All women liked strong men.
Even if that strong man had once...
It was a mindset that was difficult to understand; in any case, the vast majority of men could not fathom it.
Originally, she might truly have approached Shi Xiu because of her family and sect.
But now, this Heavenly Fox big sister was gradually taking a liking to Shi Xiu herself.
The harder something was to obtain, the more precious it became.
Perhaps that was the reason.
Meanwhile, Shi Xiu was extremely excited.
Although it had only been one of her Spirit Avatars...
It had still possessed a Supreme body.
Although he had long known that his finishing moves were powerful...
Slaying a Supreme expert for the first time still left him tremendously excited.
He took several deep breaths in succession.
Only then did his emotions slowly settle.
Then he went through a few motions, reviewing the fight.
If he encountered another hostile Supreme in the future, he would use that same combination.
Perhaps it was because his cultivation had improved.
That sword strike had not drained all of his strength.
It had used just under a third.
In other words, throughout the entire Lower Realm...
Unless he encountered Human Dao Supreme experts like the Stone Emperor and the Fire Emperor...
He could essentially run rampant without restraint!
This was absolutely fantastic news.
He could already slay a Supreme just after opening his Nine Grotto-Heavens.
Then, once he reached the Supreme level, would he be able to slay a Great Emperor?
At the very least, dealing with someone like Wang Teng from Shrouding the Heavens would surely be no problem!
"Whew, fantastic! This feels amazing!"
After spending another ten-odd minutes calming himself...
Shi Xiu steadied his mind, then strode off in the direction Huo Ling'er and the others had gone.
It was time to reunite with everyone...
