Chapter 250: I Didn't Take a Liking to You

When the beast tribe arrived, they not only blocked the human envoy squad, but also helped Yuan Yao intercept the Demon Clan Royal Guard's attack.

After the White Wolf Emperor's Four Great Generals swept away the wreckage present, they stepped forward toward Quan Wu and, with utmost respect, performed a bow.

"Your Highness!"

Quan Wu slightly narrowed his eyes.

One of the generals lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, the Immortal Lord in the human envoy squad is still in the neighboring city awaiting their return; if they truly die, we will have difficulty reporting to the Demon Emperor and the Beast Emperor."

"Let them go," Quan Wu said with a light smile, speaking very pleasantly.

He had never cared about those humans.

The Four Great Generals exchanged a glance and answered aloud.

"I will leave with you," Yuan Yao suddenly spoke.

The Four Great Generals seemed to notice Yuan Yao only then, and, surprised, asked, "Fox spirit?"

"I am the Fox Emperor's envoy, bearing a heavy mission," Yuan Yao announced eagerly, "Now the task is complete, and I can travel with you all to Qing City."

The Four Great Generals, upon hearing this and about to speak, heard Quan Wu let out a sudden muffled laugh.

"Little fox spirit, trying to run?"

Yuan Yao turned her head and saw Quan Wu's face as if covered with demonic aura, dark and heavy, and heard, "I have taken a liking to you; you should stay and keep me company."

His tone contained no hint of ambiguity, only a cold, matter‑of‑fact statement.

"I haven't taken a liking to you," Yuan Yao said.

With those words, the humans, demons, and beasts present all froze for a moment.

Even Quan Wu was startled by the bluntness.

No woman had ever spoken to him like this before; previously, women either tried to seduce him or begged him in fear…

"How audacious!" the female demon wielding a blood‑droplet weapon darkened instantly, shouting angrily.

Yuan Yao said, "I truly haven't taken a liking to Your Highness; is that unspeakable? As the Fox Emperor's envoy, I am the Fox Emperor's beast; wherever the Fox Emperor sends me, I go. If you insist on keeping me, it's either to lure me or to kill me!"

As she spoke, she hurried behind the Four Great Generals, using them as a shield.

The Four Great Generals: "……"

Quan Wu smiled, "You have injured me, and you still wish to leave?"

The Four Great Generals, upon hearing this, were shocked; this human had truly injured Quan Wu despite the multiple guards!

It seems she does have some skill.

Their gazes involuntarily drifted to the spot where Quan Wu was wounded, eventually seeing his charred right hand.

"You tried to kill me first," Yuan Yao finished, then secretly took a Healing Wound Pill from her storage and, while the Four Great Generals blocked her, quickly swallowed it.

"Oh? Wasn't it you who first tried to stab me?" Quan Wu narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Yuan Yao retorted, "Then why would I stab you?"

Quan Wu choked slightly.

Immediately, his gaze turned cold and swept toward the Four Great Generals.

The Four Great Generals instantly understood his look, stepped back quickly, and exposed Yuan Yao to the crowd.

Seeing this, Yuan Yao muttered inwardly, "Indeed, I have to rely on myself."

Yuan Yao stared at Quan Wu, "Your Highness, why would I stab you?"

Quan Wu, too lazy to argue, was about to signal the Demon Clan Royal Guard to kill her—

but Yuan Yao suddenly turned and bolted!

If you can't win, you run!

For a moment, everyone present was stunned, then saw Yuan Yao who, with a swish, zipped past them like a gale, astonishingly fast!

Quan Wu:?

"Kill on sight!" Quan Wu inhaled deeply and ordered.

The Demon Clan Royal Guard, receiving the order, immediately pursued Yuan Yao.

Yuan Yao ran wildly, channeling all her spiritual energy.

The Demon Clan Royal Guard behind her pursued relentlessly.

Yuan Yao took a Seventh‑rank Concealment Talisman from her storage, affixed it to herself, and her figure became completely invisible.

Without Spirit Transformation Realm cultivation, one cannot perceive her existence.

But Yuan Yao acted in the opposite way.

The Demon Clan Royal Guard chased forward, Yuan Yao quickly held her breath, then slipped past them!

In that instant, the Demon Clan Royal Guard seemed to sense something, hesitating with doubt, when they saw a golden light appear ahead.

They suppressed their lingering doubts and continued the chase.

Yuan Yao, at lightning speed, headed toward Quan Wu while forming a formation technique.

At this moment—

Quan Wu, protected at the center by Demon Guards, suddenly sensed something; his violet eyes, like a deep starry sky, instantly locked onto the fluctuation in the air, his lips parting as if a voice from the Nine‑Nether Abyss whispered, "Useless."

"Even that fox spirit doesn't know if it has returned."

In the next instant, the invisible Yuan Yao swung her sword, overturning the Demon Guards; before they could react, she pressed straight toward Quan Wu.

A mocking smile curled at Quan Wu's mouth; he stood rooted, and as the fox spirit approached, he suddenly unleashed an immensely powerful demonic pressure.

Boom!

The demons, humans, and beasts present were all startled.

A sudden gale roared across the area, the surrounding houses shaking violently, and the invisible Yuan Yao was blasted backward by the overwhelming pressure; as the Seventh‑rank Concealment Talisman on her body was about to be torn apart by the wind, she pressed one hand on the talisman and released the formation she had just formed!

"Demon‑Eradicating Formation!"

In an instant, a golden light totem suddenly appeared in the sky and expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The demons present, bathed in its golden light, all felt discomfort.

Boom—

A humming sound rang out, and the spot where Quan Wu stood was enveloped by the golden light Demon‑Eradicating Formation!

Quan Wu's complexion suddenly turned cold; the demonic energy inside him scattered rapidly.

The demon guards around him let out mournful cries, their bodies exuding black vapors, faces contorting in pain, and they collapsed in a disordered heap.

Quan Wu had indeed underestimated this fox demon's skill.

He instantly raised his palm and struck at the Demon‑Eradicating Formation!

Bang!

Crack—

Just as the Demon‑Eradicating Formation was about to split, Quan Wu suddenly sensed something; when he tried to block the opponent's spiritual power, it was already too late.

"Buzz"—the opponent's spiritual power had already penetrated his sea of consciousness.

The sea of consciousness quickly sent a stabbing pain!

Quan Wu tried to expel the opponent's spiritual power, but found it stuck like a dog‑skin plaster—no matter how he shook it off, it wouldn't leave!

Quan Wu's face turned black.

"You fox demon, looking for death!"

As soon as the words fell, the massive magical energy Quan Wu released shattered the Demon‑Eradicating Formation in an instant, and he also immediately located the hidden Yuan Yao's position.

He swung his palm forward!

Yuan Yao swiftly dodged.

Seeing Yuan Yao constantly weaving left and right, never escaping his pursuit, Quan Wu finally could not contain his fury and decided to use his ultimate move. He flickered like a phantom, suddenly closing in on Yuan Yao, reaching out to seize her firmly—

At the instant his palm was about to touch Yuan Yao's body, an anomaly erupted!

A earth‑shaking explosion roared, trembling the surrounding air.

Caught off guard, Quan Wu was knocked back several zhang as if a mountain had struck him, crashing heavily to the ground.

Before he could recover, a barrage of dazzling attacks surged forward!

High‑level attack artifacts of varied shapes, flashing with cold light, rained down on him from all sides, dense as rain, leaving no escape.
