Chapter 525: and translation of chapter title

Kill!

The earth fox clan's western garrison had turned into a muddy swamp within a radius of ten thousand zhang, with corpses and blood scattered everywhere.

Not far off, the fox king and the burly tiger king were fiercely battling, a tiger shadow and a fox shadow illuminating half the sky.

At the heart of the slaughter, a large group of earth fox clan elders roared angrily, either spewing demonic qi or brandishing weapons to fight head-on.

Opposing them, a sky-filling host of tiger clan experts and tigers as big as small hills descended like royalty, reeking of blood and killing intent, launching an overwhelming massacre.

"Young men, the tiger clan has long bullied our people..."

The old man in the marten-fur robe was also among them, his eyes nearly bursting as he roared without cease.

Hu Wudi half-revealed his true form, grayish fur on his forehead fluttering, his black fox mouth open, full of sharp teeth, his tail standing tall, he fought at the very front; even though he was blown away time and again, he swiftly scrambled back up to meet the enemy.

Unfortunately, no matter how desperately the earth fox clan fought, facing such a powerful enemy they were still routed in a one-sided retreat.

Soon, half of the monster stronghold was leveled to flat ground.

Du Chun arrived, without hesitation brandishing his long blade and charging forward, instantly becoming entangled in combat with six tiger clan experts.

With his desperate, all-out assault, he immediately eased the momentum of the tiger monster horde.

The earth fox clan rejoiced involuntarily; the old man in the marten-fur robe raised his arm and shouted, "Elder Du has come, lads—kill!"

Heng Xian drifted down lightly onto a ruined building in the debris behind, gazing out.

Over these years his experience in fighting others was considerable, and he himself was skilled at observation; it was easy to see that the tiger monster horde came with great momentum, intending to wipe out the earth fox clan in one fell swoop, so even with Du Chun joining now it would be of no use.

Moreover...

He looked toward the middle of the tiger monster horde, where two young men and women sat upon a gigantic tiger, looking very much alike, seemingly twin siblings, both wearing matching black long robes, their complexions somewhat gloomy.

It appeared the two were not tiger clan experts; they were likely, like Du Chun, cultivators from another realm.

With their evil command, the tiger monster horde gained wings like a tiger, attacking in perfect order—utterly beyond the earth fox clan's ability to match!

Heng Xian frowned slightly, about to act, when a fragrant wind blew from nearby; a scarlet figure shot into the tiger horde, her long sleeves like dancing flames and meteors, instantly blasting dozens of tiger monsters away, her mighty, unmatched aura shaking all directions—so terrifying that even the mire in all directions was flung up, making the scene dreadful!

It was Bai Jiu'er!

"Miss Jiu'er!"

The earth fox clan's morale surged, and they all shouted.

Du Chun and Hu Wudi at the forefront also became excited enough to shout.

Having succeeded with her strike, Bai Jiu'er did not attack again but leapt to stand in midair, her scarlet robes fluttering, she formed hand seals and softly chanted the incantation: "Repel!"

"Hum——"

A vast sheet of flower petals rippled suddenly, undulating like waves.

"Roar……"

Hundreds of tiger monsters could not withstand a single blow and flew backward, face up.

"Level!"

Bai Jiu'er whispered again.

"Hum——"

The entire vast ground suddenly shook violently, like a slab flipping over entirely, and the tiger monsters atop it were all flung down together.

"Seize!"

As the third incantation left her lips, thousands of tiger monsters froze, their faces blank, their necks stretched out as if their souls were about to be sucked away, losing all combat ability.

"Miss Jiu'er!"

The earth fox clan's morale grew even stronger, and they all shouted as they charged forward.

But just then, behind the tiger monster horde, the young man and woman exchanged a glance, leapt into midair, sat cross-legged, took out a segment of a scorched-tail guqin, each extending a hand and plucking lightly.

Their qin notes harmonized.

"Dong——"

A pleasant note flashed by.

Du Chun among the earth fox clan widened his eyes in alarm: "It's the Demonic Qin Illusion Heaven Technique of the Northern Domain's Tianyin Ghost Sect—fall back!"

Too late!

That qin tone started out pleasant and melodious, but midway its timbre suddenly shifted, gaining a touch of killing intent and yin evil; as it approached head-on it became a demonic sound of heaven and earth, indescribably evil and terrifying!

"Hum——"

A qin sound like mountains overturning and seas surging flashed forth.

The tiger monsters caught in Bai Jiu'er's technique instantly returned to normal, while aside from Bai Jiu'er's fluttering robes being unaffected, everyone else—whether Du Chun or the earth fox clan—bled from the seven orifices and teetered on the brink of collapse.

Heng Xian, far away, also felt that qin sound was too horrifying.

Just then, Bai Jiu'er waved her sleeves in a light dance; two red ribbons became like two barriers, blocking in front of the earth fox clan's formation.

By her own power she protected everyone.

In a flash she darted straight toward the opposing male-female sibling pair.

That sibling pair gave an evil, charming smile, wrapped themselves in two gray silhouettes, and came forward to meet her.

The three instantly became entangled in combat—one red, two black—soaring through heaven and earth.

Just then, far off, the tiger king locked in battle with the fox king suddenly raised his head and howled, as if issuing some kind of summons,

"Boom……"

From afar came a booming rumble; endless monsters poured over mountains and plains—sheep, dogs, porcupines, snakes, half-human or feral true forms—filling the sky with killing intent.

"It is the tiger clan's Mountain Forest King's decree, summoning myriad monsters!"

The old man in the marten-fur robe wore a face full of grief: "Heaven has doomed me! Lads, fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

Though they said they would fight, the fox clan's steps were faltering, their combat ability extremely low.

Du Chun also turned his head with a gloomy look toward Heng Xian's direction: 'Heng brother, the Earth Fox Tribe is finished; a gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall, let's go!'

Before he could finish speaking, he looked astonished.

Only then did Heng Xian leap up, stand in midair, and a dazzling sword aura spread around him.

Sword qi howled forth, first one strand, then three, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand……

For a moment, heaven and earth rang with sword sounds, sun and moon united; the aura was so vast it made hearts and gallbladders shatter!

This terrifying aura was even greater than when Bai Jiu'er and the man and woman opposite had fought earlier!

'Sir!'

Hong Hong, face covered in blood, lifted his head and murmured.

'Sir……'

A group of Earth Fox Tribe members who had heard Heng Xian's stories showed an indescribable complex expression on their faces.

Du Chun also felt a bit dazed; this was the first time he had seen Heng Xian take action.

Heng Xian said nothing; his aura already stretched ten li around, and simply standing there made him the most conspicuous, impossible-to-hide presence, then he extended a finger,

'Hum——'

A vast, boundless sword shadow suddenly appeared behind him, its hilt in the heavens and its tip plunged into the ground, giving an indescribable sense of overwhelming pressure.

Immediately, the sword shadow flashed and turned into boundless sword blades: first one, then three, a hundred, then one thousand, two thousand, three thousand, four thousand, until finally four thousand five hundred sword blades.

Indeed, the realm was suppressed but his cultivation had risen; the 'Sword Saint Storm' had increased from four thousand strands to four thousand five hundred.

Four thousand five hundred strands of sword qi surged forth like mountains roaring and seas howling, peerlessly fierce; each strand bore the aura of a Yuan Dan Initial Realm expert.

'Boom……'

Piercing the rain curtain, it was like a shower of swords, indiscriminately attacking the horde of demons everywhere.

The myriad demons that rushed forward had no ability to resist; it was as easy as chopping melons and cutting vegetables.

Countless demons were cut down in a single sword stroke, blood and severed limbs flying everywhere.

However, the 'Sword Rain' did not dissipate after one strike; after slaying four thousand five hundred demons, it turned and swept through again.

'Pfft……'

The dense sound of sword blades cutting flesh rang out simultaneously, even possessing a unique beauty!

When the sword blades spun, looking around, aside from the Tiger Demon Group, not a single demon remained.

Slaying ten thousand demons in an instant—nothing more than this!

The Earth Fox Tribe group was stunned!

Du Chun was dazed!

Not far off, the Tiger King and Fox King ceased their fighting and looked over!

In the sky, Bai Jiu'er and the black-clad siblings likewise stopped, looking over with slight surprise.

Yet Heng Xian's 'Sword Saint Storm' had not yet dissipated; a thousand of its strands flashed, appearing beside the Fox King and pressing straight toward the Tiger King.

Meanwhile, another thirty-five hundred strands went to Bai Jiu'er's side, protecting her while facing the black-clad siblings.

'Get lost!'

Heng Xian's voice was not loud, yet it carried an irrepressible decisiveness.
