Chapter 341: A Cute Figure and a Good Body; Who Could Resist?

Palace maids, named palace maids.

In reality, they are all the next generation of elite fox clan members, all three-tailed. Given the difficulty of breeding with high-level demon bloodlines, under these faint blue sword qi slashes, the three-tailed fox clan might face a centuries-long gap in demon kings, potentially triggering a clan-destroying catastrophe.

"Hee hee! You are too cold."

The cold atmosphere had just emerged, only to be shattered by the Hundred Flowers Fox King herself.

Spiritual light appeared outside her body, forming a pure white immortal skirt that revealed not a shred of skin; her demeanor instantly shifted to be dignified yet whimsical, making one unable to resist the urge to protect her.

In the fox clan's inherited memories, this was a special tactic against cultivators from prestigious righteous sects.

"That the Seven Feather Sword Disciple has come to the Demon Palace truly brings honor to this humble place."

The Hundred Flowers Fox King's voice was gentle. She glanced at the youth in green robes before her and sighed, "These clan members have always liked to steal yang to supplement yin. I have advised them many times, but they would not listen. Now that they have died by the Sword Disciple's hand, it is karmic retribution."

"Perhaps the Sword Disciple does not believe it,"

"but apart from this one time when I was deceived by True Person Yu Ling, I have always used illusion arts to absorb a little yang energy for cultivation and have never harmed anyone..."

"Indeed, I do not believe it."

Jiang Ding looked at her strangely.

Finally, at this moment, the third-tier, low-grade formation fully controlling the Master Tushan Demon City was activated. Amidst earth-shattering roars, magnetic field-assisted, dotted-line array patterns flashed and vanished, and the Taiqing Flying Sword accelerated to its utmost speed, disappearing from sight.

"The three-tailed fox clan version needs an update. Now, the trend is the pure-yet-desiring, true-love, big-sister fox lady; the innocent little flower is no longer believed by anyone."

Roar! Roar!

Amidst the trembling of heaven and earth's spiritual energy, the Hundred Flowers Fox King's three fluffy, fiery red tails swayed. Countless fiery red light points gathered, forming a fire dragon, a Zhu Que, and a flame giant. All were vivid and lifelike, with immense and terrifying auras, stepping forward with heavy strides to kill.

Just these three flame monsters were equivalent to three Jin Dan Chu Qi cultivators!

"The fire-attribute spells of the three-tailed fox clan are truly terrifying..."

Han Lin's face changed. He couldn't help but recall the words of the deceased True Person Yu Ling; indeed, one should have first ambushed the demon king at Jin Dan Zhong Qi, or at least severely injured her to deprive her of most of her combat power.

Fleeing? He had no face for that. His divine sense extended toward the arm bone, staring fixedly at the battlefield.

Whoosh!

Amidst the pervasive annihilating sword intent, the Taiqing Flying Sword descended. It pierced through the heart node of the terrifying fire dragon. Claws slashed, and the flaming giant mouth tore and bit, but all were completely ignored.

The fire dragon's body stiffened for a moment, then crashed and disintegrated with a boom.

Amidst the fiery explosion, a huge deep pit was melted into the palace. Inside, whether Bai Yu or massive stone and metal, everything melted, testifying to the terrifying nature of this Jin Dan flame monster.

"What kind of flying sword is this?!"

With her spell broken, one of the Hundred Flowers Fox King's fluffy tails trembled violently. Her face turned pale, and she said in disbelief,

Her divine sense swept over the youth in green robes before her, again and again.

Foundation Establishment Mid-Tier!

What kind of monster is this?

Perhaps even the young beast of the divine nine-tailed fox recorded in the clan's annals would be no more than this?

How could such a person appear among the low-bloodline human race?

"A flying sword that kills man-eating demons."

Jiang Ding smiled slightly.

Boom!

Amidst the sound of an aerial explosion, the Taiqing Flying Sword, surrounded by magnetic field-assisted dotted-line array patterns, vanished once more at extreme speed.

When it reappeared, it pierced through the heart cores of the fire Zhu Que and the flame giant. The annihilating sword intent was deeply hidden, instantly destroying their array cores.

The Hundred Flowers Fox King's tails trembled again and again. Finally, all three fluffy flame tails drooped down, her spiritual light dimming immensely.

"I cannot use spells against him anymore!"

A thought arose in her mind.

Whoosh!

The azure flying sword that had pierced through two flame beasts vanished again. Terrifying annihilating sword intent spread everywhere, firmly locking onto the enemy's soul and spirit.

"Not good!"

A terrible warning filled the Hundred Flowers Fox King's heart. Her sandalwood lips parted slightly, and a flame jade umbrella flew out from within. Rolling flames blocked her front.

Fire Jade Treasure Umbrella!

A Zhong Pin Fa treasure refined by the three-tailed fox clan over many years and passed down through generations, even touching the edge of a Shang Pin Fa treasure. If refined for several more centuries with heavenly materials and earthly treasures, it might not be unable to advance further.

Ding!

The unbreakable azure flying sword finally met an obstacle. Amidst the sharp sound of metal clashing, sparks flew in all directions. Layers of flames were slashed open, and a shallow-to-deep scratch appeared on the fiery red jade umbrella surface, causing its spiritual light to drop sharply.

"This sword..."

The Hundred Flowers Fox King was terrified.

It clearly possessed only the aura of a Ji Pin Fa artifact, yet it was more terrifying than any treasure. Even a Zhong Pin Fa treasure could be forcibly slashed open, tearing apart the array patterns refined inside the treasure for countless years.

The divine sense imprints left by the powerful ones of past generations of the three-tailed fox clan were even scattered and shattered by that sword intent.

Boom!

Another earth-shattering aerial explosion sounded. The azure flying sword appeared and vanished again, striking the fiery red jade umbrella and leaving a sword mark. There was no trickery, no variation; it was simply a straight, brutal slash, terrifyingly simple and crude.

One slash after another.

The spiritual light of the fiery red jade umbrella rapidly diminished. No matter what means the Hundred Flowers Fox King used—fireballs, firebirds, the Zhu Fa of magma pillars—all were terrifyingly boundless and capable of slaughtering groups of Foundation Establishment cultivators. Yet under this flying sword, they could not last even an instant, like bubbles.

"Sword Disciple,"

The Hundred Flowers Fox King's magic power was constantly draining. She pleaded, "If you kill me, the alliance between the Xiang Qiyu Sect and the Demon Kingdom will instantly collapse. The Xiang Qiyu Sect will face a siege from both the Demon Kingdom and the Xuetudian and will surely die!"

"How about you spare me?"

There was no response.

Boom!

Another sword came cleaving down, its light a deep azure, the pinnacle of power and speed, the Sword Intent of Annihilation spreading everywhere—nothing had changed, and nothing needed to.

The Hundred Flowers Fox King's magic power trembled, a faint sweetness welling up in her throat, and she cried in a desolate voice, "Xiang Qiyu Sect was, after all, the place where you set foot upon the immortal path. Will you truly abandon it without a second thought?"

"Your death has nothing to do with me."

Jiang Ding said coolly, "If I hadn't intervened, you would already have been captured by the Jade Spirit True Person of Liu Dao Sect. You were a dead woman to begin with—I merely let things return to their original course."

"If Xiang Qiyu Sect is destroyed, I will be saddened, but I won't blame myself, because it wasn't my doing."

Boom!

A sword fell, and the fire-red jade umbrella finally reached its limit. Sword scars densely covered its surface, its spiritual light utterly dimmed, and it crumbled apart, plummeting into the distance.

"Spare my life!"

"This humble one is willing to have a divine-sensing restriction placed upon her and acknowledge a master!"

The Hundred Flowers Fox King was sent flying by a tremendous force, coughing up great mouthfuls of blood midair, but before she could do anything, boundless fear flooded her heart. Summoning every ounce of strength, she called out in a coquettish voice, "Master, please spare this humble one just once. From this day forth, this humble one is yours to command. Whatever Master says, this humble one will do—serving the human race with all her heart and strength."

"A mere fox demon, and you still try to tempt me."

Jiang Ding let out a cold laugh. Having slain so many enemies without ever softening his hand, how could he possibly be swayed by temptation?

Too absurd!

The Taiqing Flying Sword paused, stopping at the edge of the Hundred Flowers Fox King's brow.

"Master!"

The Hundred Flowers Fox King's eyes lit up, and she immediately offered up a wisp of her divine soul's origin, her voice incomparably coquettish.

But she saw the blue-robed youth before her hesitate, not accepting it.

"But, it's a fox demon."

"A beautiful, cute Jin Dan fox demon."

Jiang Ding's heart churned with indecision. He swept his Sword Intent across his own divine soul again and again, confirming he hadn't been bewitched—it was simply that lust had stirred. Spring had come; it was the season of procreation.

"A fox demon completely under my control, cute and with a fine figure to boot."

"Who could resist that?"

"Who?"

Seeking opinions on a major branching route for the protagonist's personality

One, a cold-hearted sword cultivator, emotionless and desireless—deal with it tomorrow;

Two, walk the body, not the heart.

Truth be told, lust has stirred, but I don't quite dare follow through, afraid of being scolded. What does everyone think?
