Fox Demon: Starts with Lu Zu template

Li Chungang put down his teacup and looked through the open window at the towering tree in the distance. "Miss Rongrong, please speak frankly."

"Sir, why did you choose to stay in Tushan?" Tushan Rongrong suddenly asked, "With your strength, there is no place in the world you can't go?"

The room was so quiet that you could hear the sound of tea boiling.

Li Chungang's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and each sound seemed a little strange in the extremely quiet atmosphere.

"If you ask where the best scenery is in the world, it must be Tushan." He finally spoke in a soft voice.

But Tushan Rongrong did not believe Li Chungang's reason.

But she couldn't continue asking now.

After all, even his sister Tushan Honghong couldn't guarantee that she could defeat Li Chungang now.

The midday sun shines through the branches of the giant bitter tree, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

Li Chungang stood under the tree, looking up at the pink flowers.

Five hundred years ago, he spent the last of his life here.

"Is Master Li also interested in the giant tree of bitterness?" Tushan Rongrong's voice came from behind.

The other person's light green skirt is particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of the pink flowers on the tree.

Li Chungang didn't look back. "It's said that it can renew a human-demon bond. This is the first time I've seen it."

"Yes." Tushan Rongrong walked to his side and also looked up at the tree.

"Unfortunately, no one knows its true origins. Even the ancient texts of Tushan only say that it was born from heaven and earth."

A petal fell on Li Chungang's shoulder.

He reached out and brushed it away, his movements as gentle as if he were handling some precious treasure. "Miss Rongrong, you didn't come here just to discuss the legend of the ancient tree, did you?"

Tushan Rongrong only squinted her eyes and said, "I still want to know the real reason why Master Li came to Tushan."

The wind suddenly stopped.

Several petals hanging in the air are motionless, as if time has stopped at this moment.

"I must know?"

"I must know!"

"Truth or lie?" Li Chungang asked after thinking for a moment, his eyes still fixed on the treetops.

"Of course it's true."

Li Chungang finally turned around.

The sunlight shone from behind him, giving his outline a golden edge.

He looked straight at Tushan Rongrong - even though he knew that she couldn't see his eyes.

"I came here to find a red dress."

Chapter 48 Attack

Upon hearing this, Tushan Rongrong's face suddenly froze.

She opened her eyes widely, a rare occurrence, and her green pupils contracted violently.

On the distant city wall, Tushan Honghong, dressed in red, suddenly pressed her chest, feeling inexplicably panicked for some reason.

Seeing the other person's dumbfounded expression, Li Chungang suppressed the smile in his heart.

For the next period of time, Tushan Rongrong did not disturb him again, and Li Chungang finally had some peace and quiet.

Early that morning, Li Chungang was practicing in the mountains behind Tushan.

The Trojan Horse and Ox Sword turned into a green light in his hand. Wherever the sword energy passed, the fallen leaves silently split in two.

Suddenly, a loud bombing sound came from a distance, startling the birds in the mountains and making them fly away.

"Towards the Tushan gate...is someone coming to attack Tushan?" Li Chungang frowned.

Then he thought of the original novel where Tushan was often attacked by disciples of the Taoist Alliance.

It matches the time.

He sheathed his sword and disappeared in a flash.

The battle was fierce at the Tushan Gate.

Dozens of Taoist League disciples formed a formation to attack, and various magic weapons intertwined into a net in the air.

Tushan Honghong stood alone in front of the formation, her red skirt fluttering in the wind. As she swung her fists, the Taoist Alliance's attacks collapsed.

The Tushan guards and Tushan Rongrong on the city wall watched the battle nervously.

It’s not that they don’t want to help, but in a battle of this level, they will only make things worse.

By then, it might even cause Tushan Honghong to be distracted from saving them.

Li Chungang appeared quietly beside Tushan Rongrong: "What's going on?"

Although he had some guesses in his mind, he still pretended to be ignorant.

When Tushan Rongrong saw that it was him, a sly look flashed in her eyes: "Didn't you say you liked me? Now's your chance to show it."

Li Chungang looked at her in surprise - was she trying to match him up?

But he didn't say much, just quietly observed the battle situation.

The situation seems very dangerous, but in fact Tushan Honghong can deal with these people with ease.

However, the Dao League has a large number of members, and it is inevitable that there will be losses in the round-the-clock battles.

"Since I'm living and eating for free here, I have to do something to contribute." Li Chungang chuckled, jumped up, and headed straight for the center of the battlefield.

"Li Chungang!" Tushan Honghong noticed him and frowned slightly. "This is Tushan's business, no need to bother..."

Before he finished speaking, a green sword energy swept out and forced the three Taoist League disciples to retreat.

Li Chungang landed beside her and said with a smile, "Just consider it as rent."

Tushan Honghong wanted to say something, but saw Li Chungang had already rushed into the enemy camp.

His swordsmanship was powerful and each strike was well-aimed at repelling the enemy without killing them.

"Who are you? Why are you helping that Tushan fox demon?"

Seeing that the person who came to help Tushan Honghong was a human, a Taoist disciple who was leading the group asked loudly.

But Li Chungang said nothing and just kept swinging his sword.

"Form a formation!" the leader of the Taoist Alliance shouted upon seeing this.

More than a dozen disciples quickly changed positions, forming a complex formation. Spiritual energy intertwined into a net in the air, covering the two of them.

Tushan Honghong was about to make a move, but Li Chungang took a step forward first.

The wooden horse and bull sword in his hand drew a mysterious trajectory, and he shouted softly: "Sword Qi Rolls Dragon Wall!"

The green sword energy shot up into the sky, and the spiritual power net was torn apart!

The aftermath caused shock waves, and the disciples of the Taoist Alliance retreated one after another, and the formation was in chaos.

Tushan Honghong seized the opportunity, and with lightning speed, she knocked down several Taoist League disciples in an instant.

The two men cooperated well, and in just a few moments, the invading enemy was defeated.

"Retreat!" Seeing that defeat was inevitable, the leader of the Taoist Alliance shouted unwillingly and fled in panic with his remaining troops.

On the city wall, Tushan Rongrong watched all this with narrowed eyes, a meaningful smile on her lips.

She noticed that the look in her sister's eyes when she looked at Li Chungang was less wary and more curious.

Li Chungang sheathed his sword and turned to Tushan Honghong, bowing: "The Master of Tushan's strength is indeed well-deserved."

Tushan Honghong snorted softly: "Your swordsmanship...is not bad."

Although his tone was still cold, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Tushan Rongrong came up to the two of them, looked at Li Chungang and said with a smile: "Thank you, young man Li, for your help, but since you attacked the people of the Dao League for us Tushan, aren't you afraid that the Dao League will issue a warrant for your arrest?

You know, we are demons!"

But Li Chungang didn't take it to heart and said casually: "So what if she's a demon? In my eyes, demons are all the same, there are good and bad ones."

"I will help whoever I want to help, all according to my heart. Nothing will go against my heart. No matter what others say, I, Li Chungang, am not afraid of it!"

After these words were spoken, Tushan Honghong's eyes changed when she looked at Li Chungang.

When he heard what Li Chungang said, he thought she was a demon.

For some reason, she felt like she had found a soulmate.

Tushan Rongrong also noticed the changes in her sister, but did not say anything.

The mountain breeze blew, lifting the sleeves of the two people.

Li Chungang's blue shirt and Tushan Honghong's red skirt intertwined in the wind, like a beautiful painting.

Since that day when they joined forces to repel the Taoist Alliance's attack, Tushan Honghong's attitude towards Li Chungang has indeed softened a bit.

Although she was still cold as ice, at least she no longer ignored him.

Early that morning, Li Chungang was practicing swordplay in the bamboo forest on the back mountain of Tushan, holding a wooden horse and ox sword.

The green robe fluttered in the wind of the sword, and where the tip of the sword passed, the bamboo leaves silently split into two halves, as neatly as if they had been carefully cut.

On the other side, at the Tushan city wall.

Dozens of fox demons were repairing the damage left by the last battle.

Tushan Honghong stood on the city wall in a red dress. The morning breeze blew her long hair, revealing her delicate yet always stern face.

Tushan Rongrong stood behind her, holding a scroll of account book in her hand, recording something from time to time.

"Rongrong, did you get anything out of that guy before?"

Tushan Honghong suddenly turned around and looked directly at her sister.

Tushan Rongrong calmly closed the account book and said, "Sister, do you remember when he first came to Tushan? He told me the purpose of his visit.

Came for the red dress."

"What do you mean?" Tushan Honghong's voice became a little colder.

"That's exactly what it says." Tushan Rongrong blinked innocently. "He said he loves my sister, so that's why he stayed in Tushan."

With a "crack", Tushan Honghong's hand on the city wall suddenly crushed a piece of brick.

A terrifying demonic power burst out from her, and the surrounding fox demons retreated in fear.

"Where is he?" Tushan Honghong's voice was terribly low.

Tushan Rongrong pointed towards the back mountain: "I just saw him practicing sword over there..."

Before she finished speaking, Tushan Honghong turned into a red light and shot up into the sky, heading straight for the back mountain.

Li Chungang was strolling along a path in the bamboo forest, playing with a freshly picked wild flower in his hand.

Suddenly, he felt a chilling murderous intent approaching rapidly from a distance.

"This is..." He looked up suddenly and saw a red light falling from the sky.

Chapter 49 Farewell, I'm leaving

Li Chungang instinctively dodged to the side, and with a loud "bang", the place where he had just stood had turned into a deep pit with a diameter of several feet, with dust flying everywhere.

The smoke and dust dissipated, and Tushan Honghong's figure slowly appeared.

She stood straight, her red dress fluttering in the wind, her eyes burning with cold anger.

"Miss Honghong? What are you doing..." Before Li Chungang could finish his words, Tushan Honghong had already punched him.

That punch was packed with terrifying demonic power, and the air was torn apart with a sharp whistling sound.

Li Chungang hastily drew his sword to block, but with a loud "clang" sound, he was knocked back several steps and his arm became numb.

"Wait! Let's talk it out!" Li Chungang shouted, but Tushan Honghong didn't give him a chance to explain and attacked like a storm.
