It talked tough, but Huangfu Jun specialized in curing all kinds of defiance!
Half a minute later, the fox spirit, with one eye closed, struggled to stand again. It angrily clawed the ground with its front paw, glaring at Huangfu Jun with eyes nearly spitting blood. "I'm not afraid of bright lights! I was just careless earlier and got dazzled. Just wait, I'll swallow you whole now, bones and all!"
As it spoke, it arched its back high, gathering all its strength for a third attack.
This time, Huangfu Jun dropped her smile and became serious.
She knew the fox spirit was about to unleash its full power. The slightest slack would cost her life.
The giant fox spirit leaped for the third time. Huangfu Jun didn't act rashly. She reached into her bag and gripped her third weapon.
Only when the fox spirit was right in front of her did she suddenly pull out a baseball bat and swing it hard at the dent on the fox's forehead!
The fox spirit, hit squarely by the bat, was sent flying like a broken kite!
Its shriek was more piercing than ever, causing Huangfu Jun to frown.
It rolled several times on the ground before barely recovering. It lay prone, glaring at Huangfu Jun and panting heavily, not daring to act rashly.
It gritted its teeth and asked, "Damn it! How do you have this thing?!"
Huangfu Jun's eyes curved into smiling eyes, swinging the baseball bat in her hand.
She wouldn't answer it, wouldn't tell it the truth.
When she researched, she not only consulted ancient books but also looked into the city's history with foxes.
Unexpectedly, she found an old news report from decades ago: near the Ai family villa, a fox had caused accidents on the road. Back then, both sides of the road were deep forests, and wild animals often appeared at night. A fox had caused over a dozen car crashes. Those accidents were particularly eerie, leaving many with psychological trauma.
Drivers dreaded that stretch of road, even calling for the last bus to be moved earlier to avoid late-night forest crossings. But before the schedule change was approved, another even stranger accident occurred on that road.
Unlike before, this accident had no casualties.
The report recorded an interview with the driver involved. Roughly, while driving late at night, a fox suddenly rushed onto the road and stood in front of the bus, blocking it. Remembering the fox-related accidents, the driver, young and bold, wasn't afraid. He grabbed a baseball bat he kept for self-defense, rushed out of the bus, ran up to the fox, and swung the bat hard at its forehead. The fox, injured, ran away immediately.
Strangely, after that, no more animals blocked the road there.
Ancient texts said that demons are extremely fearful of past injuries. To be safe, Huangfu Jun also prepared a baseball bat. And when she saw the dent on the fox's forehead, she knew she had guessed right.
After three painful blows, the fox spirit glared at Huangfu Jun with malevolent eyes. Its back arched suddenly, and yellow flames erupted from its fur. With a roar, it lunged at the driver behind and bit down hard on his neck!
Huangfu Jun stepped back in shock. This fox spirit seemed to be crazily "recovering health" by devouring humans.
As if sensing Huangfu Jun was "out of tricks," the monster-like fox spirit, its fur bristling, pushed the human aside. It wiped the blood from its mouth with a furry paw, its terrifying beastly pupils flickering with icy light as it showed a cruel smile.
In the emergency, Huangfu Jun's mind raced.
From the fluctuations in its energy field, she was no match for it now.
Physical and scientific methods were exhausted. Was today her death?
Although she wasn't afraid of death, although she had been prepared, when truly backed into a corner, her hairs still stood on end.
She felt every blood vessel swell with painful tension.
She could even hear her own heartbeat, thumping faster and faster from fear.
She stepped back, her legs giving way, and she fell to the ground weakly. Her big innocent eyes blinked helplessly, filling with tears.
Seeing Huangfu Jun so fearful and pitiful, the fox spirit laughed arrogantly. The reddish-brown fur on its body trembled horribly, and with each tremor, its size multiplied.
In the blink of an eye, the terrifying fox spirit had grown more than ten times larger, towering like a small mountain. It opened a terrifying maw like a black hole toward Huangfu Jun!
Huangfu Jun, collapsed on the ground, her eyes brimming with tears, her pink lips tightly bitten, looked as pitiful as could be. Yet her hand was still fumbling in her bag. Even at the last moment of her life, she would never give up any chance to save herself.
"Foolish human who tried to hurt me with physical attacks, taste the feeling of being crushed bit by bit by my teeth!"
The fox spirit's enormous tail swept toward Huangfu Jun like a hurricane!
Huangfu Jun's world flashed with a burst of chaotic snowflakes, then went black, and she lost consciousness.
The fox spirit, which had launched the final attack, and the young man hidden in the shadows were both shocked by the sudden change!
Huangfu Jun, unconscious, hung her head weakly, but her body simultaneously burst with blinding golden light!
Just moments ago, the ferocious giant fox spirit suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon, its huge body rapidly shrinking. The fox spirit's expression changed drastically as it sensed a terrible danger closing in.
It abandoned everything else and turned to flee.
But as soon as it turned around, a cold-faced woman appeared in the sky before it, wearing a golden ancient gown, her jet-black hair as smooth as silk falling over her shoulders.
The fox spirit instinctively retreated half a step in fear.
It was still the same face, still the girl with some baby fat on her cheeks, but her gaze was now icy cold, and her whole body exuded an immensely powerful killing aura!
The fox spirit had no idea what was happening. It only instinctively felt that if it fought head-on, it would surely die without a burial place.
Without any hesitation, it turned and fled in the opposite direction! Its claws clawed desperately, and in the next instant, a large area of blood mist spread before its eyes!
The fox spirit's vertical pupils stiffly turned, its eyes full of shock and fear. It realized that the blood mist was actually its own body. Had it been so easily devoured and absorbed by the opponent?!
After its vision was completely covered in red, it lost consciousness.
Meanwhile, the young man hidden in the shadows furrowed his brows tightly.
He was Bai Lin, the action team leader of the Monster Bureau's Seventh Sub-bureau. He had been following Huangfu Jun not on official business. He had even cast an even stronger barrier outside the fox spirit's barrier.
His purpose was to "privately" settle matters with Huangfu Jun.
But the current situation far exceeded his expectations. If he didn't act now, not only would the humans in the distance be unable to withstand the killing aura of the mutated Huangfu Jun, but even he himself would be severely affected.
He suddenly waved his hand, releasing a white lightning bolt from his palm. It exploded above the fox spirit's remaining blood mist, forming a white smoke vortex.
The remaining demonic energy of the fox spirit was quickly swallowed by that powerful suction, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
A cold yet seductive female voice suddenly sounded behind him. "I didn't expect Lord Bai to have a voyeuristic hobby~"
Bai Lin's body trembled suddenly. Before he could turn his eyes, the golden-glowing Huangfu Jun appeared before him.
Bai Lin's gaze turned icy. He reached out to grip her slender neck.
She wanted to ambush him; she would pay the price.
But to his shock, his arm seemed frozen solid, unable to move at all!
The golden Huangfu Jun raised an eyebrow, as if seeing through his plan. Her bright red lips curled into a mocking smile.
She stepped forward with a cold laugh and grabbed his throat first. Her icy fingertips playfully caressed his sexy Adam's apple. "So nervous? Where's your assertiveness?"
She laughed more arrogantly. Her fingertips traced from his Adam's apple down to his chest, where his heart was. She pressed slightly, poking his heart with increasing force, the golden light at her fingertips drifting like shooting stars.
Bai Lin's beautiful eyes were instantly filled with bloodshot hatred.
He sensed the power of his demon essence. Despite hating her, he knew that her body alone could never emit the killing aura that belonged only to his Dragon Fang.
So now, was she just a mutated personality controlled by his demon essence, the Dragon Fang?
Bai Lin's brows were tightly knit. He only wanted to break free, but his body inexplicably trembled at her touch.
Was he still yearning for her, or was it simply the urgency of his demon essence beginning to mutate away from him?
His Adam's apple moved with difficulty. He bit his lip hard, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. There was no way he could still be yearning for her!
He just had to retrieve his demon essence from her body as soon as possible.
"Ha," the smile in the depths of her eyes grew more mocking, shining with a cold light. The fingertip against his heart suddenly sprouted claws sharper than knives!
