Chapter 89

It was fortunate that he had the nameless ring; otherwise, facing this Wei-level demon, Jiang Feng would surely have met his end!

His breathing grew increasingly shallow, almost imperceptible, as the Tian Ji Magic Cube silently operated, collecting the extremely rare demon data.

The demon had two pointed ears on its head, a snout, and narrow eyes, resembling a fox. Clearly, it was a fox demon.

It suddenly let out a shrill scream, the sound waves sweeping outward, instantly clearing the demonic aura in front of it.

Then, it turned around and screamed again.

Jiang Feng instantly understood what it was trying to do.

The sound waves spread forward in a fan shape, and it intended to use this method to find the invisible Jiang Feng and capture him!

After two or three attempts, the fox demon finally faced him and opened its mouth again.

He didn't know if the nameless ring could hide him; if it couldn't...

At this critical moment, Jiang Feng became even calmer. His gaze shifted from the fox demon to behind it.

He suddenly felt a stirring in his heart.

The data there had changed slightly. Could something unexpected be about to happen?

Before his thoughts could fully form, the ground suddenly shook violently!

The fox demon turned sharply, its legs springing off the ground as it shot toward the alley entrance!

It seemed to have discovered something, bursting into a loud laugh: "Hahaha! It doesn't matter if you don't come out! I'll deal with the old one first, then the young one!"

Before its words had even finished, the ground shook violently again.

At this moment, Jiang Feng finally realized that the fox demon had opened a pale gray barrier at the alley entrance, isolating him and the demon inside.

Fortunately, A Miao had run fast. If her reaction had been a bit slower, she would have been trapped too, and then Jiang Feng would have had to either abandon her or become even more endangered due to having to take care of her.

Now, someone had arrived at the alley entrance, attempting to break through the barrier with force!

Judging by the way the barrier was shaking, this person was almost as strong as the fox demon!

From a distance, a girl's delicate voice said, "Uncle, that brother went in there and didn't come out!"

A calm voice replied, "Yes, I understand. Thank you."

Then, the ground shook violently for the third time, and with a "bang," the barrier shattered like glass, completely breaking apart!

Hearing this voice, Jiang Feng was both surprised and delighted.

It was Hua Su!

Even now, Hua Su was at the Ming realm, matching the Wei-level fox demon. He had extensive experience in dealing with demons from his long service in the Demon Control Army, giving him a high chance of victory.

Jiang Feng didn't know why he was here, but his appearance undoubtedly brought him a glimmer of hope.

However, Jiang Feng's heart sank again.

Hua Su's Ming force circulation was incomplete, and under normal circumstances, it was constantly being lost. Each time he used Ming force in battle, it accelerated the loss, shortening his lifespan.

In other words, any battle of moderate length was essentially a matter of risking his life.

Jiang Feng clenched his teeth, his heart heavy.

The barrier shattered, and Hua Su strode into the alley, his eyes scanning the area. He suddenly sneered, "No wonder this stench is so familiar. Huang Gui, it's you!"

The air in front of him rippled, forming a shadow. Hua Su waved his hand, and the shadow dispersed, then slowly reformed.

The fox demon cackled, "Hua Qianfu, my old friend, didn't expect to meet you here, did you?"

Hua Su coldly laughed, "Some people who escaped death in the past now come out to seek it. What can I do about it?"

The fox demon, Huang Gui, laughed loudly, "Hua Qianfu, I like your confidence!"

Suddenly, Hua Su raised his hand, and a small yellow fox darted out from a corner. He extended his hand, and the yellow shadow exploded in front of his fist, the powerful air currents making his hair and clothes flutter wildly.

Hua Su frowned, "You're still the same, always fond of these useless probes."

He took a step back, assumed a fighting stance, and said in a deep voice, "Come, let me teach you what a real battle is!"

As he spoke, countless yellow shadows shot out, dashing toward Hua Su like lightning. Hua Su let out a deep cry, and the semi-transparent fox-shaped wind blades were all shattered. The shattered wind blades didn't disappear but instead formed a huge tornado around Hua Su, spinning rapidly.

Trash, water droplets, and all kinds of debris were swept up by the tornado, and even the grass in the cracks of the ground was uprooted, rushing madly toward Hua Su.

This was the first time Jiang Feng had seen a demon battle. He held his breath, his gaze serious and calm as he watched.

In the midst of the fierce wind, Hua Su stood firm. A faint golden light enveloped him, just an inch away from his skin, preventing the wind and debris from penetrating any further.

He walked to the side of the wall, where there was an iron railing. Hua Su reached out and tore it off.

With a flick of his wrist, the iron bar became a spear, and with a "bang," it struck the center of the tornado!

A long, agonized howl echoed, and the tornado paused. The fox demon snarled, "Not bad, to be able to see through my true form at this level!"

Hua Su, holding the bar, looked up and sneered, "Is that so hard?"

As he spoke, the bar's shadow merged into a single mass, and he charged forward again!

The walls on both sides of the alley cracked and trembled violently, on the verge of collapsing. Third-stage warriors could already project their Ming force outward, and the immense power in this narrow space was like a compressed mass, making the walls and buildings unable to withstand the pressure.

The Tian Ji Magic Cube suddenly accelerated its data absorption. Jiang Feng realized that the fox demon was skilled in transformation, merging with the air to become the tornado.

But even in this form, its core still existed. Directly attacking the tornado wouldn't cause significant damage to the fox demon; only by attacking its core could it be dealt a fatal blow.

As Jiang Feng gradually understood the battle situation, his heart grew even more anxious.

Hua Su couldn't engage in a prolonged battle and needed to end it quickly. However, the fox demon seemed to know this and was hiding its core, prolonging the fight.

After a moment, Hua Su retracted his stance and stepped back, shouting, "Hiding and dodging, what kind of hero is that? If you have the guts, come out and fight me face to face!"

The fox demon laughed triumphantly, "Hero? That's a human thing! I'm a demon, hahaha, I'm a demon! Hua Su, did you think I would know your condition?"

Hua Su said in a deep voice, "You deliberately lured me here. Where is my disciple? What have you done to him?"

In the midst of the battle, he was still using his senses to scan the area. Not seeing Jiang Feng, his heart sank.

The fox demon chuckled, "That kid is my bounty target. The client wants him dead. Do you think he's still alive?"

Hua Su said firmly, "Impossible! That kid would find someone to take with him even in death. If you killed him, you wouldn't be so relaxed now!"

"Just a beginner, and you have such confidence in him..."

Before he could finish, a pebble suddenly shot out from a corner, aiming at a specific spot in the tornado. Hua Su, as if he had known it would happen, immediately reacted. He raised his long bar, the tip glowing with a golden light, and thrust it at the spot where the pebble was aimed!

The tip of the bar touched the pebble, which immediately shattered into countless pieces. At the same time, a jet of black, foul-smelling blood spurted out, being churned into countless droplets by the tornado.

"Aaaah—" The fox demon let out a long, agonized scream, this time not feigning but truly in pain.

The fox demon roared in fury, "Boy, where are you? How did you know where I was?!"

A figure suddenly appeared behind Hua Su, saying with a smile, "Teacher Hua, thank you for having such strong faith in me."

Not only the fox demon, but Hua Su was also a bit surprised.

His realm had dropped by three levels, and his abilities had been significantly reduced. Under the fox demon's full concealment, it wasn't easy to see its core.

But he always trusted his intuition. Just a moment ago, he had a sudden feeling and saw the pebble, then instinctively launched an attack.

He hadn't expected this attack to succeed, and he hadn't even noticed where Jiang Feng had been hiding!

His thoughts raced, and he asked, "Jiang Feng, are you okay?"

Jiang Feng's voice sounded strange, "I, I'm fine..."

Hua Su sensed something was wrong and was about to turn to check when the fox demon, enraged by its injury, snarled, "Fine, fine, don't think you can win just because you're united. I've been here for so many years, and it wasn't for nothing!"

A thick, almost tangible demonic aura rushed toward them. Hua Su's nose twitched, and his face changed. He turned, scooped up Jiang Feng, and leaped into the air.

His timing was perfect. Just as Jiang Feng felt his feet give way, he was already airborne, landing on a tree.

Earlier, he had used a pebble to guide Hua Su to the fox demon's core, and the attack had succeeded. The core had spurted out countless drops of demonic blood, and as Jiang Feng moved toward Hua Su, he had to pass through these drops.

Each drop of demonic blood that landed on him felt like acid, burning and painful. His heart suddenly raced, and the golden blood qi, like a shark sensing blood, rushed to the spots where the demonic blood had landed!

It rushed so fiercely that it seemed to want to burst out of Jiang Feng's veins. His heartbeat and blood flow became disordered, and a large amount of blood rushed to his head, turning his face red.

Now, his vision was also blurry, a hazy red.

Soon, he realized this wasn't just due to bloodshot eyes.

From the corners of the alley, from the cracks in the walls, from the gaps in the bricks, from the well platforms, and from the eaves... blood was gushing out everywhere.

Fresh, human blood!

It flowed from all directions, converging on a spot in the alley.

There, centered around a core, the blood gradually formed a human shape.

The blood quickly solidified, turning into a disgusting black. The shape grew taller and more bizarre.

It had a head and limbs, but the head was like that of a fox, completely lacking human features.

Jiang Feng had never heard of such a situation, but Hua Su, gritting his teeth, already muttered four words—

"Blood and Flesh Sacrifice"!
