The Legend of the Demon Hunter

"What is black and what is white? I have lived for more than a thousand years, but I can't see clearly anymore. Little kid, you are only in your twenties or thirties. Do you think that what you see as right and wrong, good and evil are really correct?" The nine-tailed fox walked towards Xiao Zhu with charming steps.

Xiao Zhu, who was frozen in ice, felt as if the spiritual energy around him had solidified. Even his muscles and bones were too stiff to move. He wanted to open his mouth to speak, but found that he couldn't open his mouth at all.

Logically speaking, Xiao Zhu's psychic bloodline has a strong resistance to ice, but the ice released by the nine-tailed fox is different. This is an extremely low temperature, so low that the spiritual power in his body cannot function. This cold air also carries a strange demonic aura, which accelerates the spread of the cold air. Even if Xiao Zhu exerts all his strength, the spiritual power in his body is as if it is asleep and has no reaction at all.

He watched the nine-tailed fox approaching him step by step. Xiao Zhu's eyes widened in fear, but he was helpless.

"Ice Field! You must be the white fox that escaped from Ximen Ye Luo's hands a thousand years ago!" A voice suddenly came from beside Xiao Zhu.

Hearing this, the nine-tailed fox let out a cry of surprise and looked towards Fairy Luoxia who was standing next to Xiao Zhu. She didn't expect that Fairy Luoxia could still speak even though she was frozen in ice.

"Yes, I am the white fox Yibing. Who are you?" asked the nine-tailed fox.

"My name is Yuanye Ying. I'm just a nobody who accidentally heard the legend of the fox demon clan." Fairy Luoxia replied. Her whole body was also imprisoned in the ice, but with her cultivation level of the late Hunting King, the restraining force was not as stubborn as that of Xiao Zhu. Her facial muscles could still move, so she could speak normally.

After hearing what Fairy Luoxia said, Xiao Zhu realized that he and Fairy Luoxia had entered the ice domain of the Nine-tailed Fox. Even someone with the strength of a hunting king would be bound by the domain exerted by a beast king, not to mention that he was just a hunting soul. No wonder he couldn't break free despite his best efforts.

“Hahahaha——” The nine-tailed fox laughed, and her expression became more charming: “I didn’t expect that our fox clan would still be remembered by the world. I’m sure my husband can rest in peace in his nine springs!”

Hearing the nine-tailed fox mention her husband twice, Fairy Luoxia wondered, "Could it be that the Red Fox King who was killed by Ximen Yeluo a thousand years ago is your husband?"

When the words "Red Fox King" reached the ears of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, she was stunned for a moment, and then her dull eyes turned sharp. She stared straight at Fairy Luoxia and said, "Humph! You humans, all deserve to die!"

A crystal clear ice cone appeared in the palm of the Nine-tailed Fox. The ice cone was cold and cold. It was obvious that it was a magical weapon. Her action showed that she had the intention to kill Xiao Zhu and Fairy Luoxia.

But just when she was about to attack Fairy Luoxia, Fairy Luoxia suddenly said loudly: "Yibing, I have fallen into your hands today. I am not as skilled as you. You can kill me, but I beg you to spare my husband!"

Hearing Fairy Luoxia's words, the Nine-Tailed Fox actually hesitated for a moment. It pointed at Xiao Zhu and asked, "Your husband? Is it him?"

Fairy Luoxia answered without hesitation: "Yes, it's him."

Xiao Zhu never expected that Fairy Luoxia would say this at such a critical moment, and he was imprisoned and could not refute it. But this remark had an unexpected effect. The killing intent in the eyes of the Nine-tailed Fox disappeared after hearing this, and the light of the ice cone in her hand also dimmed.

For thousands of years, the white fox has been enduring the pain of her husband's death. Now that a loving couple is being separated, she can't help but think of herself.

Do you really want others to suffer the same fate as you?

The nine-tailed fox looked at Xiao Zhu and Fairy Luoxia seriously. After a moment, he looked at Fairy Luoxia and asked, "You are truly a match made in heaven! But your husband is not as good as you in knowledge and cultivation. How did you fall in love with him?"

"Do you need a reason to love someone?" Fairy Luoxia answered, staring at the Nine-tailed Fox intently.

These words resonated with the Nine-Tailed Fox. She was stunned for a moment and said, "You are right. There is no need for any reason to love someone. Just like when he chose me, I was still a cowardly white fox with only six tails, and he was already the mighty Red Fox King..."

She was talking to herself, and when she finished, the nine-tailed fox suddenly raised her head, looked at Xiao Zhu and Fairy Luoxia in turn, and asked: "If only one of you can survive, who will you choose?"

Fairy Luoxia never expected that the Nine-Tailed Fox would ask such a question. She and Xiao Zhu were pretending to be lovers, and she said this just to buy time with the other party. For a moment, she was speechless. The Nine-Tailed Fox caught the reluctance in Fairy Luoxia's eyes. She smiled coldly and said sarcastically: "You humans are really hypocritical. The so-called vows of love and unswerving commitment are all invented by you humans, but when it comes to life and death, who doesn't live a shameful life and abandon the other party for their own selfishness."

After saying this, the ice cone in the nine-tailed fox emitted a chilling cold air again and stabbed towards Fairy Luoxia first.

Just as the ice cone was about to pierce Fairy Luoxia's body, Fairy Luoxia shouted, "President Jiang, how long are you going to stand by and watch?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a long sword as black as ink fell from the air, blocking the attack of the ice cone and pushing it aside. The next moment, Jiang Jin appeared between the Nine-tailed Fox and Fairy Luoxia, and he slashed the sword in his hand at the ice pillar that sealed Fairy Luoxia.

With a clang, the icicle split in half, and Fairy Luoxia finally regained her freedom.

Xiao Zhu was also very surprised to see Jiang Jin appear. At the beginning, they were entangled by the tail of the nine-tailed fox and dragged here. Jiang Jin was separated from them. Unexpectedly, they met him again here.

But no matter what, the appearance of Jiang Jin is a huge turning point in the battle situation. With him and Fairy Luoxia, the two hunting kings, joining forces, even if the Nine-tailed Fox has the ice field, it may not be able to gain the upper hand.

"Are you Jiang Jin, the current president of the Demon Hunter Association?" The nine-tailed fox recognized Jiang Jin's identity at a glance.

"It's me." Jiang Jin replied.

"That's great. Use your blood to commemorate my late husband!" said the nine-tailed fox coldly.

The next moment, the nine huge tails behind the nine-tailed fox stretched out, and the cold wind spread around her like a knife. The ice crystals on the walls of the ice room began to grow rapidly, and then turned into thousands of ice spikes, flying towards Jiang Jin and Fairy Luoxia.
