Located on a geologically active plate, the country of Sakura experiences thousands of earthquakes every day, most of which are harmless earthquakes that are barely noticeable.

This strange earthquake was initially unnoticeable, but as time passed, people finally felt the vibration from the ground.

And as the earthquake intensified, panic finally broke out.

"The ground has been shaking for ten minutes. Why is there no sign of stopping?"

"It's still getting stronger, and my calves are starting to tremble with it."

"Please rest assured, our shelter is built according to the highest earthquake resistance standards. Please wait patiently for the government..."

"But is this really an earthquake? Or is it the evil magic of a monster? I have never experienced such a strange earthquake!"

"Someone come and save us!"

Amid the noisy and clamorous noises, panic quickly grew and some elderly people even began to feel breathless and fell to the ground with their eyes rolled back.

The military and police immediately took action and sent the unconscious people to the medical center in the shelter. At the same time, they reported the situation to the witches and priests who were always at the edge of the shelter to guard against the evil spirit.

The sanctuary is guarded by the Uchiki Mizuba Shrine located on the outskirts of Uokawa City. There are eleven shrine maidens and five priests in charge, and the chief priest is leading the rest of the people, fighting against the giant monster in the center of the battlefield.

In the shelter, after hearing the report from the patrol captain, an elderly priest sighed and said, "Perhaps this is just a slightly unusual earthquake. The most important thing for the shelter to withstand right now is to defend against these filthy demonic qi and demonic spirits."

After he finished speaking, he stared closely at the demonic energy that he was responsible for, which spread along the ventilation channel to a crack in the wall. White light burst out from his hands, continuously purifying it.

As time goes by, the old man is gradually feeling overwhelmed, but at least he still has companions who can take turns.

The patrol captain on the side fell into a brief silence upon seeing this, unable to think of a better way to calm people's hearts.

"give it to me."

The young witch at the side spoke.

So after obtaining the consent of the high priest, she and another priestess, carrying the conch shell, a magical instrument enshrined in the shrine, walked hurriedly to a high platform in the square, where they started a ceremony.

The two performed a mysterious ritual dance, and the conch shells in their hands emitted a soft blue light, like clear waves spreading over the shallows, slowly rippling and filling the entire shelter.

The crowd, who were still in panic, were gradually attracted by this scene. They watched the dance of the two young witches and felt the soothing sound of the waves that had sounded in their ears. They calmed down involuntarily, or at least stopped being hysterical.

They just sobbed silently, with tears in their eyes, clenched their palms tightly, or put their hands together, praying that the disaster would pass quickly.

And the ground was still shaking.

When earthquake early warning centers located in various places finally realized that this was a strange earthquake, the workers there could not help but feel a strong sense of absurdity.

"The intensity of the vibrations continues to increase. In the past half hour, it has surpassed four levels and has become a full 120 times stronger."

"The coverage area is still expanding. Seismic centers in thirty-six counties have already detected seismic waves!"

"Oh my god, what the hell is this? We can't find the source of the earthquake?"

At the earthquake early warning center in the suburbs of Uokawa City, workers looked at the constantly changing data on the instruments as if they had seen a ghost. They would rather believe that they were dazzled or that there was something wrong with the instruments that were maintained daily than believe what they saw.

The earthquake has spread over an area of ​​nearly 100 kilometers and lasted for half an hour with the intensity of the seismic waves still increasing. The strangest thing is that even the epicenter cannot be found!

Earthquakes are caused by the collision of underground rock plates. The center of the collision is the epicenter. This is basic common sense.

But this strange earthquake did not even have an exact location for its epicenter. It was as if an invisible giant hand was shaking the land for hundreds of kilometers, playing a prank that was definitely not fun.

"Without an earthquake source, where do seismic waves come from?"

"It was like the ground itself was moving!"

"How can the earth move on its own? Is it the work of some extraordinary force?"

The department staff who realized that something was wrong immediately passed the news back to their superiors, and within a short time, the leaders knew about it.

Aso Sukeshi Ryu and others who were sitting in an armed helicopter rushing to the front-line combat command center were also puzzled when they saw the news.

"A strange earthquake occurred that covered a hundred kilometers, including Uokawa City. There was no epicenter, and the intensity was still increasing..."

Aso Sukeharu looked at the latest situation uploaded on the tablet, then turned his head and looked at the mountains and forests below through the bulletproof glass of the helicopter. He really saw the strange sight of the mountains shaking and thousands of trees swaying.

"In this situation, the possibility of it being a natural disaster is extremely small."

"If it's Yaoxing Society..."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, constantly thinking about the possibilities in his mind, and looked at the picture of the mountain-sized Demonic Sable in the center of Yukawa City sent back by the tablet. Looking at the extremely vague black shadow between the eyebrows of the demon sable, his heart skipped a beat, and a huge sense of crisis suddenly arose.

All the words Zhang Taichu had said to him came to his mind at this moment.

Fuji Mountain Qi Gate, volcanic eruption, dragon Qi, Qingli, demon Qi...

His pupils shrank, and he turned his head to look at the heads of the major families and sects around him, and said in a deep voice: "The battle has been going on until now, and Qingli's nine-tailed fox has not been seen. This earthquake is strange, maybe it is related to him, or maybe it is heading for the legendary dragon qi."

"We must stop him!"

-

Located dozens of kilometers away from Uokawa City, in the suburbs of Nagano Prefecture.

In the Togakushi Sacred Mountain, Haruri was still leaning leisurely on the chair, tasting the tea he had made. The vibration from the ground was like the rocking of a baby boat to him, making him feel comfortable and happy.

In front of him, dozens of minutes passed and the huge tree covered with blood-colored lines had all its green leaves withered. However, inside the trunk, an extremely rich emerald green light was flowing, which had almost condensed into a substantial liquid. Even through the magic circle, it revealed a strong vitality.

These are the earth Qi that have been extracted from their original channels and are forcibly extracted across a space.

But these are not what Qingli wants.

"Green and full of life, but that's not what I desire most."

"Big tree, big tree, please mature quickly and bear the most delicious fruits."

Haruri raised his glass towards the sun in the sky, muttering some impromptu complaints.

Time passed, and another ten minutes went by.

The vibration of the giant tree suddenly became stronger. As the order of the earth's Qi channel was completely disrupted and as the blood-colored twelve-pointed star formation worked hard, a golden light suddenly appeared in the emerald green that continued to gather in the thick section of the tree trunk.

The light was extremely subtle, like a silk thread, circling around the roots of a large tree that stretched out to an unknown location underground, confined by the blood-colored lines.

And along with the appearance of this golden Qi.

Qingli's eyes also became extremely bright. He stood up suddenly and threw the teacup in his hand behind him, making it and the tea sets, tables and chairs around it disappear, and then he put it back into the devouring bag again.

"Oh my, it seems that the legend of the second largest dragon vein is true."

"This tiny island country actually has two magical places."

"Okay, okay, let's extract this dragon energy today."

His charmingly handsome face was filled with undisguised excitement, and the speed of waving the fan in his hand even increased. He walked quickly into the blood-red twelve-pointed star formation and came under the big tree without any hindrance. He watched from close range the wisps of golden Qi that kept appearing in the trunk.

"Very good, it is Dragon Qi without a doubt."

Haruri revealed a fox-like smile, put away the fan in her hand, and then spread out her slender white palms, performing the seals that she knew by heart.

Along with this action, the sky above the entire shrine suddenly became dark, as if there was an invisible haze that even the sunlight could hardly penetrate.

"Then...my little fox, enjoy your meal."

He opened his red lips slightly, and after saying this, his hands remained in the last seal formation action.

Then, the dark spot in the air suddenly exploded, emitting thousands of white lights.

Click!

Amidst the loud bang, a thick white lightning lashed down, landing in the deepest forbidden area of ​​the shrine, and on the huge sacred tree.

Rumble, rumble.

The aftermath was so shocking that even the blood-colored formation became unstable.

The white lightning dissipated, and a huge nine-tailed fox appeared, perched on the sacred tree.

His body was always shrouded in a layer of white divine light, except for a black crack next to the blood-red pupil on his left cheek. The crack was long and ran along the fur, dividing the entire body into left and right halves, extending all the way to the tail of the slender body.

There, the nine long tails that were supposed to be swaying were forcibly cut off. A dark light could be seen flowing at the base of the broken tail.

This horrific injury was caused by the Ten-Fist Sword Slash performed by the projection of Susanoo during the previous riot in the harbor area. The strange power continued to erode the body of the Nine-Tailed Fox, and it has not been repaired until now.

But right now.

The nine-tailed celestial fox's blood-red pupils were filled with intense joy and greed.

He stared intently at the emerald green and golden energy flowing in the thick tree trunk beneath him, lowered his head, opened his mouth without hesitation, and bit the fork of the trunk hard. With his fangs wrapped in a white glow, he pierced the blood-colored lines and the bark of the trunk, and took all the treasures containing amazing power into his body!

Rumble, rumble——

Just as the rich earth energy, along with wisps of rare dragon energy, entered His body, the shaking of the earth became more and more intense, accompanied by gradually clearer and clearer sounds of the earth, which spread to the distance.

Outside the Togakushi sacred mountain.

Dozens or even hundreds of strange people who were rushing over, as well as even more people on the armed helicopters roaring in the air, felt a chill down their spines when they saw the white lightning and the appearance of the sky fox.

"Are we still a step too late?"

"Haruri must be stopped at all costs!"

They roared, with various colors of Qi wrapped around their bodies, and headed towards the shrine.

In the more distant mountains, Aso Sukenosuke and a group of family heads and high-ranking officials who were on their way also received this information and their eyes immediately turned red.

Dragon veins are closely related to a country's destiny. Mount Fuji's Qi Gate has already suffered severe damage, but now Qingli is unscrupulously extending his hand to the second dragon vein.

"Report, the first batch of aid teams from China have entered our country and are heading to the Yuchuan area."

"It is said that Taichu Zhenren of Mount Longhu has also set out to cross the strait in his physical body. We don't know where he is now, but I think..."

The voice of the combat staff sounded in the intercom, causing the emotional Asojiro to be stunned. His old face trembled, and he sighed: "Okay, okay, I didn't expect them to really come. If Zhang Taichu came in person, he might be able to cooperate with the national defense magic to kill the monster."

The faces of the various family heads on the side also revealed complicated expressions.

“No matter the cost, we must keep the Heavenly Demon Marten and never let it leave. Wait for Master Taichu of Longhu Mountain to arrive and cooperate with us to kill it.”

Asojiro Noriyuki quickly gave the order, and then looked towards the distant mountains, where the white figure was looming among the mythical beasts, and said with great determination: "Next, let us old guys destroy this scourge of Haruri!"

-

Uokawa City.

As time goes by, the evil spirit has shown signs of spreading on a large scale, evaporating in every corner of the city and penetrating every pore.

The priests and priestesses were performing sacred magic all the time, and even with the assistance of magical instruments, they were already in a very exhausted state.

But when they watched more innocent people being infected by the evil spirit and falling into a state of madness, they could only grit their teeth and continue to challenge their own limits.

At the center of the battlefield.

The purple light on the surface of the Demonic Marten, which had released a huge amount of demonic energy, had dimmed a little, and its huge body, which was as big as a mountain, had also shrunk by one-fifth.

"The dying struggle of these ants really makes me upset."

"By the way, what's the situation with the fox wizard? Can you give me an accurate answer?"

The demon marten circled in the air, constantly dodging the spell arrows from the warlock team on the ground. Occasionally, it would be hit by an arrow on the buttocks, and it would not help but howl.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound was heard from the ground, coming from far away and getting closer, making the earthquake stronger again. Even the high-rise buildings began to shake visibly.

At this time, Qu Tong felt the slight vibration of the pendant on her chest, and she showed a charming smile: "Now is the time to explode completely."

"Let purple rain fall on this entire city."

Hearing Qu Tong's voice, the Demonic Marten showed joy on its face, and the whole marten immediately became energetic.

"I have finally waited for this moment!"

"Tremble, you lowly ants!"

It flapped its wings vigorously, swatting away all the thick arrows coming from the ground, then soared into the sky, swept out with its thick tail, and swung out a series of Qi blades, clearing out the dozens of helicopters surrounding it.

It then took a deep breath, and suddenly, lines of extremely rich purple appeared on its abdomen, like a grid of accumulated strength, spreading from the navel to the throat, and the bright purple light illuminated a large area of ​​the urban area, making it impossible for more people to look directly at it.

Its throat deformed and expanded rapidly, carrying with it an astonishing amount of demonic energy, like a toad balloon filled with air and about to explode.

"What is that monster going to do?"

There were policemen running on the streets, looking at the place where the purple light burst out, they felt pain in their eyes and could not look directly at it.

The next moment, a horrifying sound wave exploded, almost tearing his eardrums apart.

"Roar--!"

As the Sky Demon Marten roared, the purple energy ball accumulated in his body, after rushing out of his throat, turned into a beam of light that was more than ten feet wide, pierced through the dark clouds, rushed into the sky, and finally suddenly expanded, turning into an incomparably strange formation diagram.

The overall purple formation is a perfect circle with tens of millions of mysterious runes inside. After it appeared, it quickly spread in all directions. In a short time, it covered the sky within a radius of dozens of miles, blocking out the sun!
