Fox Spirit: One Sword Sweeps the World

Page 4

Her skirt arced in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, she had created a considerable distance between herself and Tu Shan Rongrong.

As she ran forward with all her might, she couldn't help but turn her head triumphantly, wanting to see Rongrong's panicked expression. The smile on her lips almost reached her ears.

But the scene that came into view made her pause slightly.

Tu Shan Rongrong maintained her leisurely pace, without even turning her head.

Even from her angle, you could clearly see that Rongrong's lips were slightly upturned.

No, there's a problem!

A sudden alarm bell rang in Tu Shan Ya Ya's mind, and a bad premonition spread instantly.

She instinctively tried to stop, but inertia made it impossible for her to stop. Just as she turned around to adjust her direction, she bumped into something soft with a "thud".

The thing had a faint floral scent, a smell she had grown up with.

Tu Shan Ya Ya nervously swallowed, her heart pounding. She stiffly and slowly raised her head, only to see Tu Shan Hong Hong standing in front of her, her brows slightly furrowed, looking at her with a hint of helplessness.

Tu Shan Ya Ya's smile froze on her face instantly. Her brain raced, and she quickly put on a flattering expression, her voice soft and sweet.

"Hello, sister! The weather is so nice today. The sun is so warm and the breeze is so pleasant."

As she spoke, she secretly shifted her feet back, "That Rongrong, she didn't even tell me she was coming, really, she must have forgotten."

"I... I drank too much just now and I'm a little tipsy, so I just wanted to come out for some fresh air. I feel much better now, so I'm going back to rest. Goodbye, sister!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she tried to turn around and slip away, but Tu Shan Honghong gently grabbed her wrist, making her unable to move.

"Ya Ya, I don't blame you. You're growing up and want to see the outside world, which I understand. So, I'll allow you to play near the border, but not too far away, understand?"

Tu Shan Honghong gently tapped Ya Ya's nose.

"Yay! I love my older sister the most!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya was taken aback at first, then jumped into Hong Hong's arms, her ears twitching happily.

Can I kill him in Chapter 5?

"Hehe, I'm a powerful demon who can stand on my own now!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya's face was full of joy, and her fair cheeks were flushed with excitement.

Carrying a huge gourd of wine on her back, she skipped and hopped across the forest path, the crisp sound startling several birds in the woods.

"My sister finally felt relieved enough to let me out. This time, I'm determined to make a name for myself and impress Rongrong!"

The overgrown weeds blocked their path, but Ya Ya casually waved her hand, and the green grass blades fell to both sides in unison.

But just as her vision suddenly cleared, her crescent-shaped eyebrows froze, and the corners of her upturned mouth abruptly stopped.

Not far away, the brownish-yellow soil was turned upside down, revealing a pit about half a person deep.

The damp air was mixed with a strong smell of blood.

Two figures, one tall and one short, stood by the pit. The middle-aged man, his face smeared with mud, was casually carrying the corpse of a demon.

The child next to him looked to be no more than ten years old. He held a polished wooden sword in his hand, but his eyes were unusually calm, as if everything in front of him was just ordinary.

"Dad, the pit is too small."

The child kicked the side of the pit and said calmly, "Why don't you try folding her up a bit more? Otherwise, you won't be able to fit her in."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man bent down and poked the corpse. "Hiss... It's already been stacked once, and the bones are almost broken. It's really impossible to stack it again."

He turned to look at the wooden sword in the child's hand, and his eyes lit up.

"Isn't your wooden sword quite sharp? Why don't you just cut it into pieces and stuff it in?"

The child's hand holding the wooden sword remained still, his brows furrowed slightly, and his voice remained flat: "My sword does not cut inanimate objects."

"Hey, you've got some principles, kid."

The middle-aged man chuckled, reached out and patted his son's shoulder, the bloodstains on his hand smearing onto the child's clothes.

"Alright, Dad will do it himself. He can just smash a rock and bury it."

As he spoke, he looked around as if searching for a suitable tool, a relaxed smile even on his face.

It was as if they weren't talking about mutilating the corpses of demons, but rather about dealing with some insignificant piece of trash.

Tu Shan Ya Ya hid behind the bushes, her fine hairs standing on end.

What...what's going on here?!

Robbery? Murder for money?

She was used to the harmonious life in Tushan and had heard her sister and Rongrong talk about the dangers outside, but she never thought that someone could treat a life so casually.

Especially that child, was it really a child?

She's actually quite good-looking, so why is she so cruel?

"Alright, you've been spying for so long, it's time for you to come out and meet us."

Old Man Mu, who had just been smiling gently, suddenly turned grim, his eyes sharp as ice, shooting straight at the swaying bushes.

Who peeked?

Tu Shan Ya Ya stood up abruptly from the bushes, brushed off the grass clippings, and stood her fox ears upright on her head.

"I was just passing by and happened to see you. That's perfectly aboveboard!"

She stood with her hands on her hips, her round eyes full of defiance, showing no sign of fear.

Old Man Mu paused, clearly not expecting such a response.

Why focus on this?

Mu Qinghan was also taken aback, then realized that it must be because it had just transformed and its intelligence had not yet developed.

"What? Do you want to do something?"

Tu Shan Ya Ya not only didn't back down, but instead took half a step forward, baring her teeth fiercely at the two of them, her eyes revealing a hint of arrogance.

She glanced at the faint magical energy emanating from Old Man Mu's body, knowing that this middle-aged man was not easy to deal with, but there was no fear on her face.

"Don't be arrogant just because you have more people. If it really comes down to a fight, I, Tu Shan Ya Ya, have never been afraid of anyone!"

As she spoke, a wisp of pale blue cold air condensed at her fingertips, causing the temperature around her to drop several degrees. The wild grass behind her was swept by the cold air and instantly formed a thin layer of frost.

"Tu Shan Ya Ya... Tu Shan?"

Old Man Mu was stunned for a moment. As a super power with the combat strength of a demon emperor, Old Man Mu couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

This Tu Shan Ya Ya seems to be the younger sister of the Demon Emperor Tu Shan Hong Hong, and the second-in-command of Tu Shan.

Isn't he a member of the Tushan royal family? How come he's here?

However, the thought only flashed through his mind for a moment, and his aura remained as steady as a mountain.

As one of the strongest humans, he would not show any fear because of the other party's identity.

In terms of actual combat strength, he was absolutely confident that he could easily overpower the still-developing second-in-command of Tushan.

Moreover, Tushan is completely different from other demon forces.

They do not enjoy killing.

Since Tu Shan Hong Hong took over as the master of Tu Shan, there have been no rumors of Tu Shan demons indiscriminately killing innocent people for many years.

Thinking this, Old Man Mu's tense face relaxed slightly.

However, there was still a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

"Can we kill her?"

A clear, childlike voice suddenly rang out. Xiao Qinghan leaned forward, pointed her little finger straight at Tu Shan Ya Ya, blinked her clear eyes, and looked earnestly at Old Man Mu beside her.

Tu Shan Ya Ya's forehead instantly creased with black lines, her fox ears standing straight up in anger. She glared fiercely at Xiao Qing Han, "Can't you talk properly, you little brat? I'm the second-in-command of Tu Shan, or I'll beat you up!"

This guy... he's really annoying...

Upon hearing this, Old Man Mu awkwardly scratched the back of his head, his lips twitching.

My child is exceptionally talented, calm, and good in every way, except for one thing…

He coughed lightly, waved to Tu Shan Ya Ya, and spoke in a calm tone.

"You can leave now. I don't want to hurt you."

Although he was capable enough to win over Tu Shan Ya Ya.

But... this second-in-command of Tushan is no small figure...

If one were to truly harbor murderous intent, it might provide temporary relief, but the subsequent chain reaction would be enough to bring the entire Mu family to ruin.

A hint of seriousness flashed across Old Man Mu's eyes as he pondered to himself.

To put it bluntly, given Tu Shan Hong Hong's protective nature, if Ya Ya were to fall into his hands, that crazy woman would probably throw all her scruples aside and single-handedly storm into the Dao Alliance's headquarters, uprooting his Mu family from the ground up.

Which of the four demon emperors isn't a ruthless character who dominates the world? Tu Shan Hong Hong is the best among them. If she's really pushed to the brink, no one dares to gamble on her bottom line.

The Demon Emperor, driven to utter madness... could not be stopped.

Moreover, the demon race is currently suppressing the human race in strength.

This generation has finally ushered in the golden age of humanity, with each major family producing a once-in-a-century genius. It is a crucial time to accumulate strength and await the rise of humanity.

To launch a fierce conflict with Tushan before these geniuses have matured would be a foolish move that would ruin his future. He cannot let a moment of impulsiveness affect the future of the entire human race.

Chapter 6 Sparring

Upon hearing this, Mu Qinghan did not hesitate at all, but simply nodded slightly, as if his previous question, "Can you kill her?" was just a casual remark.

He turned around and continued to focus intently on the pit beneath his feet, his brows slightly furrowed.

Yes, that's right, the pit was indeed too small to bury the body.

His shovel flew up and down, scattering dirt around him, when he suddenly caught sight of the figure still standing not far away.

Mu Qinghan paused, turned his head, and gave Tu Shan Ya Ya a very faint smile, "You can leave, I won't kill you."

This guy is really annoying from head to toe!
