Fox Demon: The villain at the beginning

Chapter 521 Schemes, Head-on Confrontation

The Purple Lightning Claw Leopard landed back beside the Heavenly Poison Spider King, its massive jaws agape, and it let out a hearty laugh.
“Human boy, my king had long anticipated that you would sneak in, so he had us lay an ambush in the cave several days in advance.”

"Your coming here is tantamount to walking into a trap."

Jin Renfeng's mind raced, and he instantly realized where the problem had gone wrong. A helpless expression appeared on his face.

"I never imagined that after hunting geese all day long, I would end up getting pecked in the eye by one."

He thought that if he infiltrated using Xiao Yan's original method from the novel, nothing would go wrong.

Unexpectedly, his previous appearance had already made the Amethyst Winged Lion King wary of him, and even dispatched a fifth-tier magical beast.

"But that makes sense. Knowing there were two enemies, how could they be lured away so easily?"

"Even the dumbest person, when facing two enemies at the same time, should know to set up more guards in the cave."

"It was really my carelessness that I overlooked the Amethyst Winged Lion King's response."

Jin Renfeng sighed.

Even though he always prided himself on being cautious, he never expected to be outmaneuvered by a beast, which was truly shameful.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Seeing two fifth-tier magical beasts appear simultaneously in mid-air, a hint of surprise flashed across Yun Yun's pretty face.

"You actually left two fifth-tier magical beasts in that cave?"

"How is it! Are you satisfied with this grand gift prepared for you lowly human thieves?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King laughed triumphantly.
"That Purple Lightning Claw Leopard is comparable in strength to a human Seven-Star Battle King."

"When combined with the six-star Heavenly Poison Spider King, even an eight-star Dou Wang is no match for him."

"Now, no matter how fast that kid is, he won't be able to sneak into my cave."

Yun Yun frowned.

Both of those magical beasts were quite powerful, and with Ren Feng's newly promoted Dou Wang strength, he was definitely no match for them.

But now she has to deal with the entanglement of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and she simply can't spare a hand to help.

"Are we really going to give up this opportunity?"

Yun Yun thought to herself.

Facing the combined attack of a sixth-tier magical beast and two fifth-tier magical beasts, she couldn't think of any hope of breaking the deadlock.

It seems that fleeing immediately is the only option.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

“Human boy, I know you are skilled in movement.”

The Heavenly Poison Spider King's jaws opened and closed, the sound like rusty iron scraping together, extremely grating.

“But with us blocking the way, you absolutely cannot get into this cave.”

"If you know what's good for you, leave immediately! You might save your life!"

The Purple Lightning Claw Leopard roared from the side,

"If you dare to trespass into the King's cave again, I will kill you here."

"Kill me?"

Jin Renfeng laughed loudly.
"Just you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, purple wings unfurled behind him, and his figure instantly transformed into a streak of light, heading towards the two beasts.

"What an arrogant brat! Today we'll show you what we're made of!"

Not to be outdone, the Purple Lightning Claw Leopard strode into the air with its four claws, unleashing a burst of lightning and shooting out with immense force.

Faced with the attack of the Purple Thunder Demon Claw Leopard, Jin Renfeng neither dodged nor avoided, but drew his long sword and slashed down.

The Illusory Sea Flame and the Sword Intent of Dugu merged into one, and a deep blue sword aura several dozen feet long suddenly condensed.

boom--

The purple lightning, carrying destructive power, clashed violently with the deep blue flames of the sword.

A sound like muffled thunder erupted in the air.

The violent force unleashed a fierce hurricane, uprooting the dense forest within a radius of a hundred meters below.

The next moment, a scream rang out.

The fiery sword energy actually tore through the lightning pillar, and then slashed down on the waist of the Purple Lightning Demon Claw Leopard with unstoppable force.

The once arrogant Purple Lightning Claw Leopard was instantly cut in two like rotten wood.

Blood rained down as the two severed bodies plummeted straight to the ground.

"Zi Lei... is dead?"

The Heavenly Poison Spider King was utterly terrified.

It never expected that Zi Lei, whose strength was comparable to a seven-star Dou Wang, would be defeated and killed in a single exchange, without even giving it a chance to make a move.

It didn't even get a chance to make a move.

"A bunch of beasts, trying to stop me, they're really overestimating themselves."

Jin Renfeng's eyes were cold.

To say that a Douhuang-level expert is an equal, a sixth-order magical beast would be more than qualified to make him dodge.

A mere fifth-tier magical beast dares to act so arrogantly in front of him; it truly doesn't know its own mortality.

The Purple Lightning Claw Leopard's greatest strength was its speed, but even this strength was no match for its combined wings.

The defeat in one blow was entirely expected.

"You wretched human brat!!"

Witnessing the instantaneous defeat of his own men, the Amethyst Winged Lion King in the sky had a face as gloomy as iron.

"It seems that even the Lion King's plans are not foolproof." Yun Yun glanced at the battle situation and smiled slightly.

"They certainly didn't anticipate the strength of my disciple!!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's ferocious face surged with rage. He fell silent and lunged at the woman with his massive body.

Seeing that her disciple had gained the upper hand, Yun Yun's previously anxious heart was relieved, and her swordplay became more and more composed.

With a series of swift slashes from her green sword, more than a dozen sharp wind blades intertwined to form a net, trapping the Lion King within.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

"I never expected that this human would not only be exceptionally fast, but also so incredibly strong."

Upon seeing the death of the Purple Lightning Demon Claw Leopard, the Heavenly Poison Spider King felt a sense of fear.

Although I had previously cooperated with the King in chasing down the opponent, I did not have a concrete understanding of their combat strength because we had not fought them head-on.

Now that we are facing each other directly, I realize how terrifying this young man is.

Facing the boy's icy gaze, it felt a chill run through its body, and fear grew like wildfire. It immediately turned its massive body around, trying to escape.

Both beasts joined forces and one was easily defeated. Now that only one remains, it is naturally no match for the other.

The only chance of survival is to escape immediately.

However, at that moment, the roar of the Amethyst Winged Lion King exploded in the sky.

"Tian Du, today, you must fight to the death to stop that human brat. If you dare to desert, even if you survive, I will tear you apart alive!"

At this moment, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was entangled by a human Battle Emperor and could not break free. It could only rely on the Heavenly Poison Spider King to resist the human youth.

Upon hearing the command, the Heavenly Poison Spider King had no choice but to stop.

Both pose a threat of death, but compared to a fifth-tier Dou Wang, the sixth-tier Amethyst Winged Lion King is clearly far more terrifying.

Seeing the Amethyst Winged Lion King's eagerness, Jin Renfeng was somewhat puzzled.

"Why is the Amethyst Winged Lion King in such a hurry?"

"Even if the Purple Spirit Crystal is hidden in the cave, it's just a piece of material that can be removed from his body in a few decades."

Why go to such lengths?

In Jin Renfeng's view, it was quite unusual for the Amethyst Winged Lion King to go to such lengths to stop him despite being at such a disadvantage. It was also quite inconsistent with its previous behavior.

"Could there be other treasures inside this cave?"

As soon as this thought arose, a glint of light flashed in the golden man's phoenix eyes.

He had initially thought that the Amethyst Winged Lion King had anticipated their plan and would have moved the accompanying Amethyst Source and cubs away beforehand, leaving only the Amethyst Crystal as bait.

Judging from the current situation, it is highly likely that both treasures are still hidden in the cave.

"Delay could lead to unforeseen consequences; we must capture this monster as soon as possible!"

With this thought in mind, Jin Renfeng's body burst into flames, and he plunged headlong into the cave entrance.

Seeing the powerful enemy approaching, the Heavenly Poison Spider King hurriedly spewed out countless purple poisonous spider silk, covering Jin Renfeng.

Layer upon layer of resilient spider silk formed a large web, blocking the boy's path.

Despite the spider web in front of him, Jin Renfeng did not slow down.

The deep blue illusory sea flames burned fiercely, and the figure crashed violently into the spider web.

Chi-

Flames rose up, like adding fuel to the fire. The poisonous threads, once touched by the Illusionary Sea Flame, were instantly burned open, allowing the boy to pass through with ease.

Seeing that the spider silk was useless, the Heavenly Poison Spider King became increasingly panicked!
It spewed out a large jet of viscous purple venom from its mouth, devouring the boy like a poisonous dragon!
"The mantis' arms are like a chariot!"

Seeing the monster unleash a venomous attack, Jin Renfeng showed disdain and then, without hesitation, plunged into the torrent of venom!
"Arrogant brat! How dare you trespass into the venom I unleashed! You're courting death!"

Seeing its opponent engulfed in venom, the Heavenly Poison Spider King let out a hearty laugh.

It is known for its poison, and venom is its most potent weapon.

In the past, as many as six Battle Kings have perished from its venom.

Its toxicity is extremely potent, earning it a fearsome reputation!
"This human brat dared to venture into the venom; even with his battle aura protecting him, he's doomed!"

The Heavenly Poison Spider King laughed loudly.

"Human woman, now you should give up!"

In mid-air, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, seeing this, also let out a sinister laugh.

"This human brat, relying on the protection of his body with real fire, thought that the venom couldn't harm him, little did he know that the venom of the Heavenly Poison was not comparable to ordinary toxins."

It knew the venom of the Heavenly Poison all too well.

The toxicity was so potent that even his sixth-tier magical beast body could hardly withstand it.

A mere human brat dares to barge in; he's probably going to die a horrible death!

Seeing her own disciple in danger, Yun Yun only frowned slightly before slowing down.

Although she didn't know what gave her disciple the confidence, since he dared to venture into the venom, he must have his own plans.

bang——

Just as the two great demonic beasts thought they had won, a figure suddenly burst out of the venom, turning into a blur as it charged head-on towards the Heavenly Poison Spider King.

"How can this be?"

Upon seeing the figure, the Heavenly Poison Spider King looked astonished.

How could my venom be of no use to you?

However, before it could react, a deep blue sword aura several tens of feet long slashed down towards it.

The attack was faster than lightning, and the Heavenly Poison Spider King had no time to react, hastily raising its two giant scythe-like limbs to block.

boom--

The rocks rumbled and crashed, and half of the mountain peak, along with the venomous spider king, was instantly cleaved in two.

Deep ravines are etched into the surface of the mountain.

That massive, steel fortress-like body did not pose the slightest obstacle to the sword energy.

Blue-green blood spurted out, and the potent toxins even corroded the rocks, causing the entire cave entrance to hiss and crackle.

Before flying to the cave entrance, which was littered with debris, Jin Renfeng glanced at the mangled body with disgust, gently picked up a gray fifth-order magic crystal from it, and rushed straight into the cave.

"Looks like the Venom you praised so highly isn't all that great after all!"

In mid-air, Yun Yun exhaled softly and smiled.

“Not even the hem of my disciple’s clothes was damaged.”

"That useless Sky Poison Spider King!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King roared furiously, its eyes blazing with malevolence.

Although he didn't know how the human boy resisted the venom, it was a fact that the Heavenly Poison Spider King couldn't stop him.

He felt no pity whatsoever for such incompetent subordinates.

"We can't keep going like this. If we don't stop that kid, the infant and the symbiotic amethyst source will be in danger."

Now that the two fifth-tier subordinates in the cave have been killed, the young beast and its companion amethyst source in the cave are like fish on a chopping board, directly exposed to Jin Renfeng, with no power to resist anymore.

Thinking of this, the Amethyst Winged Lion King flapped its wings, and its massive body suddenly plummeted towards the cave entrance.

"Lion King, where are you headed in such a hurry?"

However, the next moment, Yun Yun was the first to stand in front of it.

"Human woman, I'll spare you this time. Get out of my way now, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

With a roar, the Amethyst Winged Lion King swung its massive head, and a huge purple flame, half a meter thick, shot out from the red spiral horn on its head.

"It seems the Lion King is truly in a panic!"

Yun Yun's figure flashed, gracefully dodging the ball of fire, a smile appearing on her pretty face.
"A mere amethyst crystal may be valuable, but it's nothing more than material from your body."

"You're in such a hurry, could it be that there's some treasure in that cave?"

"Human woman, you have angered me!"

Upon realizing that his worries had been guessed, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was both anxious and furious, and immediately roared.

The surging energy of heaven and earth rushed towards its body, and the purple light grew brighter and brighter, eventually overpowering the sun in the sky.

"Are they going to use that sealing technique again?"

"Perfect, let me show you what I'm capable of!!"

Let's see who's stronger!

Yun Yunqing shouted.

A fierce wind raged, and surging battle energy gathered on the sword, making it resemble a round, azure moon.

"Amethyst Seal!"

"The extreme of wind, annihilation!"

One purple, one blue, two beams of light shot out simultaneously and collided violently in mid-air.

In an instant, endless intense light engulfed everything in the world, and all sound fell into deathly silence.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Jin Renfeng quickened his pace as he entered the cave once more.

Now that the Amethyst Winged Lion King has discovered him, he will surely try every means to get rid of his teacher's entanglement and catch up.

The pressure on the teacher will be even more terrifying when facing the desperate Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Only by obtaining the Purple Spirit Crystal and leaving as soon as possible can the danger be averted.

Reflected by the purple crystals, the entire cave glowed with a pale purple light.

Compared to before, there are many more cracks inside the cave, and even the purple crystals on the rock walls are much fewer.

Clearly, although his attack failed to sever the mountain peak, it did affect the rock strata within it.

Upon reaching the fork in the road, Jin Renfeng stepped into the left passage again.

He had been ambushed here before by the Purple Lightning Claw Leopard and was forced out of the cave. So when he came back to this place, he first released his soul power to observe, and only continued forward after confirming that there were no enemies.
