Reincarnation Ritual (2/5)

"Since you're not willing to let me go, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

After realizing that Li Boyang would not let her go, the Seven-Tailed Fox acted quite decisively.

Suddenly, its seven tails swelled and lashed out, slamming down with tremendous force on Li Boyang opposite it.

Whew! Whew! Whew!

Li Boyang frowned slightly, glanced at the dying Spider Queen, and ultimately decided against burning the entire underground shrine down.

"In terms of strength, you might not be as strong as me—"

Having made up his mind, Li Boyang did not make the slightest move to dodge.

Because he only opened his third eye between his eyebrows, he could clearly see all the trajectories of the seven tails' movements.

"This is your weakness!"

With astonishing insight and omens from the Primordial Spirit.

Li Boyang suddenly stretched out his right hand and grabbed the tail that was closest to him.

The next second, Li Boyang's muscles suddenly bulged and he exerted force, trying to fling the Seven-Tailed Fox into the air like the gnarled roots of an old tree.

!

They had never expected that the red-haired boy would possess such astonishing brute strength.

Caught off guard, the Seven-Tailed Fox stumbled and flew uncontrollably toward Li Boyang.

Boom!

In an instant, Li Boyang clenched his other fist and swung it out, smashing it directly into the Seven-Tailed Fox's face.

"Ah!"

Under Li Boyang's terrifying force, the Seven-Tailed Fox felt as if its skull had been smashed.

In the blink of an eye, the seven tails shrank and shrank again.

Then, something unexpected happened to Li Boyang —the tail he was holding tightly in his hand actually came off by itself.

The Seven-Tailed Fox, having transformed back into its Six-Tailed Fox form, seized the opportunity to leap over the other's head.

"Infant!"

In this situation, Li Boyang immediately reached out to stop the Six-Tailed Fox from escaping.

The result was astonishing once again.

The detached tail transformed into the shape of a fox and bit into Li Boyang's neck.

Call out!

The Body-Protecting Sword Qi activated automatically, instantly piercing through the fox's head.

However, the true form of the Six-Tailed Fox seized the opportunity and escaped the small underground shrine before Li Boyang could react.

"Trying to escape?"

Slightly narrowing his eyes, Li Boyang immediately waved his arm again.

A sharp and striking Sword-Ray light slashed out.

In splitting the narrow divine stool, the Six-Tailed Fox was also cleaved in two.

During the rumbling, moldy time, the underground cave collapsed, and dust flew everywhere.

A huge crater appeared out of Mountain Hollow Village nestled in the mountains.

Then, under the astonished gaze of the Human-Faced Fish, the Six-Tailed Fox, split in two, turned into blood and exploded in mid-air.

As for Li Boyang was trapped in the pit?

He simply looked up at the sky without saying a word, his brow furrowed.

The powerful Body-Protecting Sword Qi created an absolute safety zone within three feet of him.

Within this domain of Sword Qi, not even gravel or dust could get close to Li Boyang.

"She's not dead yet."

I was awakened by the noise of the destruction of the divine stool.

The Spider Queen's trembling voice came from beneath Li Boyang's feet.

It turned out that when Li Boyang cleaved open the underground shrine, his Body-Protecting Sword Qi also shielded the Spider Queen beside him.

How so?

Upon hearing this, Li Boyang immediately took out the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron, and while tossing it, he asked in a low voice.

Whether it was a premonition from his Primordial Spirit or the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron, both told Li Boyang that he had already killed the Six-Tailed Fox.

"She's not a fox at all."

The Spider Queen's voice was intermittent, as if she might breathe her last at any moment.

But her inner hatred sustained her as she tried to finish recounting the intelligence she had observed and analyzed.

"Take your time, there's no rush."

After a brief hesitation, Li Boyang finally took off his red leather coat and knelt down to drape it over the Spider Queen.

"This-.."

The moment she donned the red leather coat, the Spider Queen's wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It only took a few breaths.

The Spider Queen's severed limbs showed signs of regrowth.

Even more exaggeratedly, the life force that had been drained by the Six-Tailed Fox seemed to have been replenished to some extent.

"Thanks-"

A complex emotion, difficult to describe, flashed in her remaining compound eyes. The Spider Queen had never imagined that Li Boyang would be willing to save her.

"No need to thank me, after all, you are that little spider's mother, aren't you?"

Upon hearing this, the Spider Queen's expression turned even more shocked.

She guessed that Li Boyang might know of her existence, but she didn't expect that he would even know the "undercover agent" she sent to Flying Peak.

"Looks like that little spider wasn't telling you the truth?"

Noticing the fleeting shock on the Spider Queen's face, Li Boyang opened his mouth in a moment of speechlessness.

"So, have I revealed something?"

"You're not going to go back and punish that little spider later, are you?"

Upon hearing Li Boyang's words, the Spider Queen immediately snapped out of her shock and quickly spoke in the gentlest tone she had ever used.

How is that possible?

"She's my most outstanding child. I love her so much, how could I possibly punish her?"

Regardless of what the Spider Queen is truly thinking at this moment.

In any case, Li Boyang nodded with considerable satisfaction.

"That's good. It's rare for the Big Girl to have a playmate she can get along with. I think their current relationship is pretty good."

"Let's get back to the main topic and continue talking about that fox!"

"What did you mean when you said she wasn't a fox?"

Knowing full well, the Spider Queen lowered her head and didn't even dare to look directly at Li Boyang again.

"That creature seems to possess the ability to reincarnate; her initial form wasn't a fox at all."

"Perhaps she thought I was ignorant, because she made no attempt to hide anything from me when building this altar."

"I watched with my own eyes as she drained my offspring dry, and then, using that immense life force, grew a seventh tail," the Spider Queen paused slightly before continuing.

But I once encountered a Five-Tailed Fox-

"So it's clear that they don't actually need that much vitality to grow a seventh tail."

"Except for a small portion, she used most of the life force she absorbed for her reincarnation ritual."

"The fox body she wore earlier was just something she deliberately left behind to distract you."

Hearing the subtle meaning behind the music, Li Boyang looked at the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron facing upwards in his hand, paused for a moment, and then asked.

Who will be her next reincarnation target?

After a slight hesitation, the Spider Queen answered somewhat uncertainly.

"Could it be that Lu Gui? The Land God of this village?"
