Martial Saint: Starting with Accumulating Experience

Fox Three was stunned with fright.

In its eyes, it was just a flash of white light before its sister was decapitated, and it didn't even have time to feel fear.

In the blink of an eye, they were separated by life and death.

"despair--"

Chen Feng sheathed his sword.

The sword guard struck the scabbard with a crisp, clear "click".

The sharp sound, like the tolling of a death knell, startled the terrified Fox Three. It trembled and turned to flee.

At this moment, Fox Three's mind screamed wildly:

Why!

Why is charm ineffective on this person?

Fox Three shed its human form and reverted to its fox form, darting around on all fours at great speed.

But then Chen Feng moved slightly and was already in front of the fox demon, gently placing his palm on the fox demon's forehead.

The cold, bone-chilling metal energy made Fox Three dare not move rashly. Its soul screamed, as if telling it: if it ran any further, that hand would definitely crush its head.

Fox Three completely abandoned any thought of escaping—there was no way to escape from a Qi Condensation Realm martial artist right in front of him.

Chen Feng's lips curled slightly, his voice clear and crisp: "Who is this grandmother you're talking about?"

His words seemed to awaken Fox Three, who trembled all over and said in a shaking voice:

"You...you can't kill me, or Grandma won't let you get away with it!"

"Oh, is it that powerful?"

Chen Feng smiled and looked at the fox demon in front of him with the same look he would give someone an experience pack.

"Of course! I can easily seduce your soul! Now you'd better let me go!" Fox Three bared his teeth and tentatively retreated.

But Chen Feng pressed on relentlessly.

With a gentle press of his palm, a streak of crimson blood trickled down the fox demon's forehead.

Faced with the threat of death, Fox Three nearly broke down and began begging for mercy: "Let me go! I can give you money! Lots and lots of money! Don't you humans love money the most?!"

It's obvious without much thought that the money the fox demon spoke of must have been obtained through murder, stained with countless drops of blood.

Chen Feng shook his head: "No need, I want to see Grandma Fox."

Upon hearing this, Fox Three hurriedly called out, "Grandma is in the temple on the mountain! I'll take you there! I'll take you there!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Fox Three's eyes as he inwardly mocked Chen Feng's overestimation of his abilities.

Ha, still want to see Grandma? Just wait to die.

......

......

The night was as dark as ink, spilled across the rolling mountains, where an abandoned ancient temple lay hidden in the impenetrable darkness.

The ruins, covered in cobwebs, should have been a quiet place for spiritual practice with incense burning, but now they are filled with a strong fox stench, and even the mountain wind carries a cold, eerie aura.

Inside the main hall, on the high platform of the Buddha statue, lay a three-tailed fox demon.

It has only occupied this mountain for a short time, but it has already turned the surrounding area into its hunting ground. Humans, wild beasts, and even other spirits are all its prey.

Thanks to its deliberate hunting, there are no other demons left within a radius of a hundred miles, only the fox demon clan remains.

On the human side, all the martial artists at the Qi Refining Realm were completely devoured by it, which allowed it to break through to the Three-Tailed Realm, making up for the fox demon's weakness in physical strength.

"Where are Fox Three and Fox Four? Where have those two girls gone to play again?"

The three-tailed fox demon spoke in human language.

Inside the hall, a group of foxes squeaked and cried, like children weeping or ghosts howling, their voices cutting through the night sky, mournful and chilling.

One of the foxes trembled and transformed into human form, but it seemed that its cultivation was not yet complete, as it still retained many characteristics of a fox, with its face covered in fur.

He also spoke haltingly:

"Reporting to Grandma, my third and fourth sisters said they were too bored this evening, so they ran down the mountain to catch bodyguards to eat."

"I told you not to eat too much. If you keep eating, no one will come anymore." The three-tailed fox frowned.

Then, a surge of demonic energy erupted within the hall, and the three-tailed fox grandmother transformed into a graceful and beautiful woman, her lips turning a deep crimson without any makeup.

"You'd better behave yourselves and not follow in the footsteps of Fox One and Fox Two. Don't go anywhere more than a hundred miles away, lest you run into some fool... Don't you think so, little monk?"

The beautiful woman swayed her hips as she walked to a corner of the hall, where a monk sat—it was Jingchen.

"Little monk, there's no use in holding on. You're going to die anyway. Why not remove this golden body now and save your energy so I can let you have some fun before you die? How about that?"

Jingchen remained unmoved, his eyes lowered, chanting Buddhist scriptures. The Vajra talisman on his chest emitted light, transforming into a sturdy barrier that kept the fox demon at bay.

Grandma Fox was helpless against Jingchen.

If the golden statue cannot be broken, it cannot kill Jingchen. If it cannot kill Jingchen, it cannot leave the temple. Once it leaves, its descendants will not be able to stop Jingchen.

Before a fox demon reaches the three-tailed stage, its physical body is weak, and it only has the ability to charm. Although it can easily control martial artists below the level of martial master, it is helpless against martial monks who can resist charm.

It considered letting Jingchen leave.

But Jingchen stubbornly persisted, muttering that he wanted to "convert the demons and rid the people of harm," killing one of its offspring after another.

As for abandoning Jingchen and leaving this place with its offspring, it never considered it—it had finally found a place to live and had gone to great lengths to make the area within a hundred miles a paradise for the fox clan.

Now that I'm being forced to leave by a mere monk at the Bone Forging Realm, how can I accept it?

Moreover, there are other powerful demons in other regions. Two tigers cannot share one mountain. Because the fox clan possesses the power of charm, it has always been feared by other demon clans.

Leave? Where can we go?

So Granny Fox imprisoned Jingchen in the palace and personally guarded him.

If there is a problem with the golden statue.

They immediately struck and killed him to prevent future trouble.

Seeing that the Buddhist light on Jingchen's body had dimmed, Granny Fox used her demonic power and slapped out with her claw.

"Bang!"

The loud noise shook the temple's beams and pillars, causing tiles to fall down in a flurry.

Jingchen struggled to stay afloat, his Buddha-light dimming, like a candle flickering in the wind.

"Can't hold on any longer, can you?" Granny Fox laughed mockingly, her fox eyes squinting. "Your Vajra Talisman is about to shatter."

However, Jingchen showed no panic on his face and calmly took out a new Vajra Talisman from his bosom.

Exchange it with the one on your chest.

In an instant, his body swelled up again, and the solemn and majestic golden Arhat statue stood up once more, the golden light stinging Grandma Fox's eyes.

Jingchen remained silent.

All his Vajra amulets were given to him by his master, so he always makes sure to carry extra when he goes out.

I still have quite a bit left in my pocket.

Grandma Fox laughed angrily, "Fine, fine, I'll see how long a little monk at the Bone Forging Realm can last without food and water!"

Jingchen remained silent.

He had a bottle of pills in his pocket to replenish his strength, having learned his lesson after nearly starving to death while imprisoned by bandits last time.

While the fox demon was distracted.

If you quickly remove the golden body and take a pill, you can last much longer.

The stalemate with the fox demon was, in Jingchen's eyes, a form of cultivation. As a senior disciple of the Vajra Temple, he had complete confidence in his meditation skills.

For every moment the fox demon is restrained by him, perhaps one person will be spared from his clutches.

This can be considered a great act of merit.

Jingchen closed his eyes and remained still in meditation.

Grandma Fox vowed in her heart that she must kill this monk and tear him to pieces to vent her anger!

In the blink of an eye.

Several mournful cries of foxes rang out from outside the hall. Granny Fox frowned, and she also heard the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh.

Bang!

The doors of the main hall were flung open by several fox demons, who rushed in in a panic, squeaking and creaking.

It was clearly a cry for help: "Grandma, help me!"
