Chapter 71 - Die, Vermin (1)
The scent of blood filled the fox woman\'s nostrils. What had just happened? Why was that arrogant grim reaper calling out her name? Couldn\'t he see she was quite busy here?
Only when she felt something left her body did Shen Minyao realize that it was her own blood. The red liquid seeped out and stained her blouse. She was impaled by the spider demon, using its strongest platinum-colored spider threads.
Her eyes widened in shock, not expecting that the spider demon was able to injure her even before she could land a heavy blow to extract its demon orb. Shen Minyao then saw a long clump of spider threads that was dripping with her human blood. She was soon forcibly thrown away by the spider demon, his face contorted with a vicious smile.
Suddenly, her eyes flashed red. Her long hair, which turned silvery-white, fluttered behind her back as rage consumed her. With her earlier plans forgotten, the only thing the fox woman had in her mind was to kill the spider.
"You dare?" Shen Minyao sneered, her fangs elongating inside her mouth. Her whole appearance morphed into her demon form, but the difference this time was that she let her nine tails out and several demon marks resurfaced on her face, arms, and legs.
She was obviously agitated by a sneak attack she received from the other demon as if her pride had been trampled.
"What\'s happening?" Mu Qing asked Xiao Bai. "Should we stop her?"
The fox woman and the spider demon already left huge damage in the hospital, and it wouldn\'t be easy to hide it from the humans that would no doubt try to find out what happened here later.
Xiao Bai watched his mistress from a safe distance. Because the spider demon didn\'t consider him as a threat, its human dolls ignored him and didn\'t attack him. What the demon didn\'t realize was that for every human that the grim reaper freed from its manipulation, Xiao Bai cast a spell to forbid the spider threads from clinging to them again.
"Uhh, I don\'t think we should. Unless you want her to inflict pain upon you," he replied, knowing the implication of his mistress\'s sudden change.
The fox woman was a very conceited and prideful creature, so it was only natural that she was offended that the spider demon managed to injure her. Ah, she must be really angry right now. Xiao Bai thought. He rarely saw his mistress annoyed and angry, but he had learned a long time ago not to stop her whenever she was like this.
Shen Minyao pounced forward, intending to dig her sharp claws at the demon that dared to hurt her. She didn\'t dare to dodge the spider threads that were coming her way, only to use her fan and claws to disintegrate it instead.
Sensing the sudden change in the fox woman\'s demeanor, the spider demon felt a murderous aura coming from her. His instincts were telling him to back off as soon as possible, but it was too late for him to do so. Blazing fox fire started to spread and burn his spider threads, turning them into ashes.
"Lord Hell, you must hurry and release the humans from the threads!" Xiao Bai called after the grim reaper. "Their souls would perish, and they would never be able to be reborn if they were burned by the fox fire."
Mu Qing\'s lips were pressed into a thin line. He sought Shen Minyao\'s help to kill the spider demon, not to make more problems that he needed to patch up later. At the rate she was going against the spider demon, not only would she put the humans in danger, but she might also leave traces of paranormal activity that would surely garner unwanted attention.
With no other choice left, he hurriedly freed the humans with Xiao Bai\'s help, while Shen Minyao continued her incessant attacks on the spider demon. This time, she was faster, giving the spider demon a hard time avoiding the spiritual energy that slashed his threads. One particular slash hit one of his legs, rendering him immobile for a moment.
Shouldn\'t the fox demon be weak by now? He grew frustrated. Then, why was she able to corner him like this?
The spider demon was aware that this demoness was still in her weakened state. When he heard the rumors about the legendary fox that escape her hundred-year-old seal in Qingqiu Mountain recently, he thought that he would be able to use the severely injured fox woman to raise his position and please his master.
Su Daji should be considerably weakened by her long confinement, and her strength should be comparable to a mid-rank demon. So why… why couldn\'t he deflect the fox demoness\'s attacks this time? He was so overwhelmed by her strength that she was able to cut several of his legs.
It looked like the fox woman had disregarded her logical mind in favor of killing him. Between the two of them, she looked more like a true demon right now. She was able to push him back using her inhuman strength that exceeded even his.
If she was strong like this at her weakened state, just how formidable would she be if she was at her peak?
The spider demon vomited blood as Shen Minyao pierced his chest with her sharp claw. Her red eyes were not showing any signs that she would stop this torture she started to inflict on him.
"What? I thought you said you would kill me." Shen Minyao punched him straight in his face with a murderous glimmer in her eyes.
"You already wasted enough of my time. Now, die!" She said before using her nine tails to stab his vital points.
How dare this vermin look down on her? He must be tired of living!
As the blood stained her pristine white tails, one of them retrieved the demon orb it dug from its abdomen.
