CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 47: ON THE BRINK OF CONFLICT

On the clearing, a cold wind arose.

Qin An’s voice was like a death knell, causing beads of cold sweat to form on Hurong’s forehead.

Having battled for many years, he reacted quickly upon hearing the wind behind him and used his claws to block the black blade.

If he had been a fraction slower, he might have been decapitated, with his large tiger head used as a drinking vessel.

The ice and fire power on the black blade made Hurong feel miserable all over.

Gritting his teeth, Hurong roared angrily, using all his strength to repel Qin An and turning to shout at Fox Spirit Lady: "All three Copper State Officials are here, quickly assist me, don’t hide your strength anymore!"

With the situation reversed, Hurong knew the crisis was imminent and could only place his hopes on Fox Spirit Lady.

Fox Spirit Lady glanced at Qin An with her enchanting eyes, intrigue shining: "You must be Qin An, wanted by Cangyun Valley?"

Wanted?

Qin An withdrew his blade and retreated: "Interesting."

Those heart-eating monkey demons dared to place a bounty on me among the demons.

It seems joining the Evil Extermination Bureau was the right choice; otherwise, without time to grow stronger, the monkey demon might have taken my head.

Fox Spirit Lady raised her delicate hand, brushing her red lips: "If I kill you today, I can also gain favor from the monkey demon side, which would be great."

A dense sound of footsteps arose.

A breeze blew through the dark forest, followed by pairs of glowing cold eyes, numbering over a hundred.

White-furred foxes leapt out from the forest, transforming into enchanting female figures as they swayed.

Their seductive forms charmed the soul.

Seeing this, Hurong’s eyes lit up with joy, thinking to himself: "The fox girls excel in transformations, introducing so many fox girls, the Fox Race must have paid quite a price."

With these soul-charming fox girls, the situation has swung back to their favor.

Fox Spirit Lady waved her hand: "Take their heads as drinking vessels."

As soon as she spoke, the fox girls howled and charged at Qin An and the others.

Nie Hu just made a move, when he felt a tearing pain all over.

Ma Rou pressed on Nie Hu’s shoulder, saying: "Stay alive, everyone, fight with me!"

The Evil Extermination Bureau’s State Official drew their weapon, charging towards the fox girls.

Both sides numbered in the hundreds, and the battlefield descended into chaos.

The fox girls were not skilled in close combat but excelled in charm skills, which took an unconventional path.

Without a method of resistance, one’s combat power would be significantly weakened.

A pink mist arrived with the fox girls, Qin An’s black blade turned, ice and fire energies ready but not released, lurking on the black blade.

Several beautiful heads flew, splattering a spray of water.

Amidst the pink mist, a fierce sound of the wind arose.

Hurong, with a grim expression, pounced towards Qin An: "You little bastard, Tiger Lord will feast on your flesh today."

Ma Rou wielded the Life-taking Rope, sweeping away many fox girls, seeing Qin An’s predicament, she shouted: "Watch out."

Nie Hu’s expression changed slightly: "He’s skilled in close combat, don’t engage him directly!"

Even though he disliked Qin An, at this moment there was only a division between humans and demons.

If Qin An is engaged in close combat with Hurong and Fox Spirit Lady releases the pink mist, Qin An might perish on the spot.

Qin An’s expression was calm as water, as Hurong lunged at him, his lips curled slightly.

Hurong recognized Qin An’s smile, and his heart skipped a beat.

But given the situation, he could only press on.

Kill Qin An, then Ma Rou, and eventually acquire the blood and energy of three Copper State Officials to unlock the Tiger Race’s secret trove.

The Tiger Race could rise!

"Tiger Lord’s claws have been refined for years, let’s see how your body withstands them!"

Hurong’s eyes shone with cold light, clashing with Qin An’s black blade, the sound of metal striking was deafening.

Qin An wielded the black blade, speaking softly: "The old monkey said the same thing."

The power of the Three Yangs on the Demon-Slaying Three Yang Saber exploded suddenly.

The stored Three Yangs power, like a fierce sun, was swept across by Qin An.

Hurong only felt his claws ache, looking down saw his claws completely severed.

The black blade, with an unstoppable momentum, drilled into his chest.

The mottled fur became a bloody mess, Hurong opened his mouth, watching a massive fist grow larger.

"Boom!"

A headless body fell to the ground, twitching twice before laying still.

Qin An withdrew the black blade, calmly wiping it on Hurong’s fur: "The tiger skin is nice, I’ll skin it for a rug later."

Ma Rou widened her water-like eyes, incredulously watching the scene before her.

Nie Hu only felt a chill down his spine, looking at Qin An with complex emotions.

He had the Body Refining Skill and still didn’t dare to tangle with Hurong, yet Hurong was felled with a single slash.

He suddenly understood why Cheng Sufeng treated Qin An like this.

The person in front of him was entirely out of his league.

Fox Spirit Lady watched Hurong’s demise without surprise, lightly waving her hand: "The tiger blood smells awful."

Qin An turned, dragging his black blade, using the Cyan Snake Form to approach Fox Spirit Lady: "Does your blood smell good? Let me have a sniff."

As soon as he spoke, the black blade slashed down towards Fox Spirit Lady’s head.

Fox Spirit Lady remained calm, her plump hips swaying slightly.

A snow-white tail extended, wrapping her whole body.

When the black blade collided with the tail, it produced a crisp clang.

Fox Spirit Lady’s voice leisurely came: "Your blade technique seems to be a unique skill, which you surely can’t use again, how will you resist my enchantment?"

The pink mist compressed rapidly, enveloping Qin An completely.

Nie Hu was anxious: "The mist’s power doubles upon compression, if enchanted, his head might not be spared, don’t worry about me, go help him first."

Ma Rou said helplessly: "Even if I want to, I can’t get there."

Surrounded by fox demons, whose enchantments worked regardless of gender, the battlefield was ever-changing, it was extremely difficult for her to break through quickly.

On the field.

Qin An’s eyes were filled with confusion, the black blade in his hand slightly limp.

Fox Spirit Lady saw this, a soul-stirring smile formed on her lips: "Your head, I’ll take it."

A fair hand descended towards Qin An’s head, if it landed Qin An’s head might burst like a watermelon.

But at that moment, a hand grasped Fox Spirit Lady’s wrist.

Fox Spirit Lady was slightly stunned, seeing Qin An’s clear gaze fixed on her.

Simultaneously, she finally saw Qin An’s situation.

She saw that Qin An was surrounded by an invisible Gang Qi, and the pink mist was swiftly dispersed when it encountered the Gang Qi.

Ma Rou, bewildered, widened her eyes: "A defensive technique!"

Nie Hu’s mouth twitched slightly: "He’s cultivating so many Cultivation Techniques, advancing so swiftly, could he be an extraordinary genius?"

The two were shocked by Qin An’s power, suddenly feeling that their lineage’s Copper State Officials might produce a world-shaking figure.

Fox Spirit Lady couldn’t believe it: "Having such a technique, why pretend?"

Qin An smiled slightly: "It’s more convenient to catch you this way."

Fox Spirit Lady realized, sneering coldly: "So what, your blade technique is spent, how will you break my fox tail?"

Her fox tail had been painstakingly refined for years, its defense was remarkably strong.

She refused to believe Qin An could wield the previous blade technique again.

Qin An raised his left hand, pressing it onto Fox Spirit Lady’s white tail, his voice calm as clouds.

"I don’t just use a blade."
