Those years when I hunted demons in Dali Temple

Chapter 939 Destroy the Corpse
"Oh dear, I don't know whose old man he is, or if I found him in a mural. I thought he was a poor man with no children," Dao Yi said, pretending to cry a couple of times. "I was thinking of doing a good deed every day and decided to collect the old man's body."

Wu Xiang: "."

"No way, no way, could this corpse be one of your relatives?" she said, looking in surprise toward the source of Wuxiang's voice. "You should have said so earlier! It's been lying there hidden all this time. I had no way to find someone to return the body."

Wuxiang again: "."

Are you two newlyweds deliberately trying to upset him? Even the most two-faced people use the same tactics.

Wu Xiang took a deep breath. "Dao Yi, if you hand over that corpse intact, I can guarantee that none of you will die."

Dao Yi: "Old man, listen to this, do you even believe what you're saying?"

As the red fox secretly tried to snatch the corpse back using one of its tails, the body vanished into thin air with a 'whoosh'.

I was just a hair's breadth away from getting it.

Red Fox stared intently at the yellow cloth bag at Dao Yi's waist, wishing he could stare a hole through it.

Dao Yi: "What, you want it?"

She grinned and said, "Hehe, I'm not giving it to you."

Red Fox: "."

Looking at the disheveled man with his white teeth bared, Red Fox felt that Dao Yi was provoking him.

"I never expected to find such a treasure in such a backward place." Wu Xiang stared at the water mirror, his tone tinged with nostalgia, mixed with a covetousness he himself was unaware of.

Wang Xuanzhi: "That must be your true form, sir."

Wu Xiang: "."

Wu Xiang wanted to beat the young couple to death.

Inside the water mirror, Dao Yi was also talking about this matter.

“Oh dear, why is no one willing to take this old man’s body? And how was it preserved? It remained uncorrupted for years amidst the murals and echoes in the valley, and now it’s in my Qiankun bag, showing no signs of change for several years. It’s truly amazing! Amazing enough that I’d like to cut it open and see if there’s any secret to immortality hidden inside. Red Fox, what do you say?”

Red Fox: "."

Red Fox didn't want to say anything; he just wanted to get the corpse back.

When the master brought them back, they were just a few spirit beasts that had not yet taken human form. The spiritual energy of this place was insufficient, so the master had no choice but to abandon his powerful body and live in the bodies of those lowly mortals.

If Mr. Ruo had lost his original body, he would return to their original world.

Red Fox dared not think any further about what had happened to their opponents.

The Red Fox threatened, "Dao Yi, if you dare to show the slightest disrespect to that body, I will absolutely not spare you!"

Dao Yi: "Oh, so why are you going to not forgive this poor Daoist?"

Dao Yi gestured with his lip, pointing to the situation where the man and the fox were both trapped.

Red Fox: "."

Dao Yi laughed instead: "You sly fox, thank you for letting me know. This corpse is very important, and I'm even more reluctant to give it to you now."

Red Fox: "." What are you pretending for? If you didn't know the importance of the corpse, why would you bring it out now?

Is it for dinner?

bah bah bah!
The red fox quickly dismissed this terrible thought.

Although, His Majesty's body is truly nourished. *cough cough cough!*
The red fox silently recited the mental incantation several times, then tightened its grip on Dao Yi's tail.

Unbeknownst to them, the red fox had loosened one of her tails, and one of her green vines had also secretly slipped out. Now it was just a matter of who could move faster.

Outside the water mirror.

Wuxiang: "Young man of the Wang family, do you think my little fox will win, or will she win?"

Wang Xuanzhi pursed his lips and remained silent, gazing at the water mirror, lost in thought. Wuxiang did not press him.

The two waited quietly for the tug-of-war in the water mirror to reach a conclusion.

The green vine that slipped from Dao Yi's fingertip had already reached behind the Red Fox, and suddenly transformed into a sharp blade with small thorns, stabbing fiercely towards the left side of its heart.

As the blade touched the clothing, a sudden pulling force appeared, preventing the killing blow from continuing.

Dao Yi glanced at the Red Fox. The opponent tried to escape when it sensed her killing move, but it was too late. Resistance appeared. The Red Fox was also taken aback, but quickly reacted. The next moment, as if aided by heaven, the Red Fox's power increased dramatically.

The balance between the two was instantly shattered.

Tightly bound by nine tails, Dao Yi's breathing gradually became difficult, and her skin quietly turned purple. Many of her techniques were greatly restricted in this space, and her previous powerful attack was neutralized by an invisible hand.

At the critical moment of life and death, Dao Yi thought of a very important thing.

They were in the Nine-in-a-Row Formation, and the continuous power all came from the formation's core. However, the Red Fox's power suddenly increased, and there was an unseen resistance. Someone must be controlling it to cause such a large fluctuation.

With the nine Venerables each occupying a corner of the formation's core, only Elder Xu remained as a candidate.

Thinking of this, Dao Yi tried to curl the corners of her lips, but she couldn't, because she was being strangled to the point of suffocation.

The Qiankun bag, which she could usually reach with her bare hands, was now immobilized, and she could only retrieve what she wanted through incantations.

"Fox, snatch your body back!" Wuxiang's voice filled the entire formation. Everyone and every demon in the formation sensed a surge of spiritual energy within the formation at that moment, and the power of the nine Venerables made a leap forward.

At that moment, Dao Yi was also flung away by the suddenly powerful Red Fox. The corpse in her hand was also forced to separate from her.

After the red fox sent the person flying, it chased after the corpse, its tail like a blooming lotus flower, wrapping around the body as it was about to hit the ground.

Dao Yi was sent flying like a polo ball, and there was no way to stop it from snatching the corpse for the time being. Seeing that the red fox had obtained the corpse, she actually smiled.

"Wu Xiang, do you really think you've won?" Dao Yi looked up at the sky, her hands rapidly forming hand seals. "It's time to let you know what it means to fight fire with fire!"

"Fox, stop her!" Outside the water mirror, Wuxiang's face was ashen.

Seeing that Wuxiang was no longer in complete control and had the upper hand, Wang Xuanzhi glanced at the miserable state of the water mirror and his expression became solemn.

The red foxes didn't understand what Wuxiang wanted to do, but as their master's spirit beasts, their first duty was to obey orders.

It immediately mustered all its strength and, carrying the corpse, pounced towards Dao Yi.

As Red Fox sprinted forward, Dao Yi stopped making hand seals and ran swiftly in the opposite direction, saying something that sent chills down Red Fox's spine: "Red Fox, thanks to your determination to snatch the corpse, I had time to finish all this."

The water mirror remained still for a moment, both inside and out.

Then came the earth-shaking roar, interspersed with the screams of the red fox.

Within the Nine Stars Alignment Formation, both sides, friend and foe, stopped at this moment and looked in the same direction.

The formless figure outside the water mirror stared into it with bloodshot eyes.

"I will make you all pay with your lives!"
