Volume 5 Chapter 129
by Need_More_SleepVolume 5 + Chapter 129: Is There Still A Way?
“Disappear, you vermin!”
The Heart Demon Xia Yi swung her blade, unleashing a torrent of golden radiance that surged toward the White Night Cult Leader.
The White Night Cult Leader’s eyes widened.
He had underestimated his opponent. After all, his realm far surpassed hers.
But who could have expected that the Silver Dragon Princess’s offensive power could transcend such a vast gap in cultivation? It was utterly beyond anticipation.
There was no time left to cast a spell, the attack was already upon him.
“Yasakani no Magatama!”
The White Night Cult Leader raised the Yasakani no Magatama before him, pouring his divine power into it. Through this sacred artifact, he formed a protective barrier of divine energy.
Boom!!!
Like a surging flood, the golden radiance engulfed him. The divine barrier trembled violently under the torrent, forcibly splitting apart the Heart Demon Xia Yi’s sword strike.
Only after a full minute of continuous assault did the golden light gradually fade.
Behind the White Night Cult Leader, the overwhelming energy had carved a devastating path, vaporizing every structure in its way and leaving the entire area shrouded in white mist.
“That attack just now… could it have been… the Holy Sword?”
He had heard of it, the legendary weapon said to exist in the human world, the Holy Sword Gram.
Even an ordinary human wielder, upon awakening it, could stand against the strongest kings of higher species. Such was the weapon’s heaven-defying power.
The blade the Silver Dragon Princess had just used… seemed to be precisely that sword.
The White Night Cult Leader swiftly drew out a talisman, preparing to continue the battle.
Yet in front of him, both Yue Liu and the Heart Demon Xia Yi had vanished.
“They’re gone…? No matter. Within the domain of Takamagahara, they have nowhere to escape.”
He let out a cold laugh.
“Under my control, how could you possibly flee?”
…
…
“Damn it, damn it, damn it!!”
The Heart Demon Xia Yi clutched Yue Liu in her arms as she fled, cursing the entire way.
She was seething with rage.
No matter the enemy, she would never retreat, even if they were stronger, she would fight to the death.
And yet today, for the very first time, she had fled before an opponent.
To her, this was an unbearable humiliation.
“My nemesis… thank you…” Yue Liu murmured.
“You pink-furred fox, don’t talk!” the Heart Demon Xia Yi snapped. “If it weren’t for saving you, I would’ve already gone all out with that bastard! How dare he act so arrogantly in front of me, it’s infuriating!”
“…Huh?!”
The little fox froze in place.
It was the first time she had ever seen her “nemesis” react like this.
The Xia Yi before her felt… different. Almost unfamiliar, even leaving her unsure how to respond.
“If it weren’t for Xia Yi’s request… How annoying! Why do I have to listen to her at all?!”
Only now did the Heart Demon Xia Yi come to that realization.
She was supposed to be a terrifying demon, why should she obediently follow the main personality’s wishes? How could that possibly be fitting?
“I’m done with this!!”
She set the little fox down and sulked in frustration.
Hmph, once Xia Yi recovered, she would destroy her and make her understand just how dangerous she truly was!!
…
The little fox stared at her, falling into silence.
“Ugh… my head hurts…”
The Heart Demon Xia Yi swayed, her mind filled with increasingly bizarre visions. They invaded her thoughts relentlessly, the mental burden growing heavier, pushing her to the brink of collapse.
“Heart Demon, thank you.”
A familiar voice echoed beside her ear.
She turned around and saw a silver-haired dragon girl identical to herself, down to the stray tuft of hair.
“Xia Yi, you’re back!” the Heart Demon Xia Yi responded happily.
“Sorry, Heart Demon. I made you worry, I ran into a bit of trouble.”
“Worry? Don’t talk nonsense! I don’t care about you at all!”
“You actually helped me save Fox Radish,” Xia Yi said, pleasantly surprised. “Heart Demon, you really are amazing!”
“You’re bringing that up again, how annoying! Don’t treat me like someone easy to deal with! Remember this, I’m your complete opposite, a being that constantly threatens your life and plunges you into endless fear!”
“Mm, in the future, I’ll try to be afraid of you.”
“Are you deliberately trying to anger me? Ugh…!”
The Heart Demon Xia Yi felt herself on the verge of passing out.
“Heart Demon, go rest. I’ll take it from here.”
“Hmph!”
Though dissatisfied, her mental state had indeed reached its limit. She had no choice but to retreat, returning control of the body to Xia Yi.
“My nemesis… are you… alright?”
The little fox was utterly stunned.
From her perspective, Xia Yi had just been talking to herself in the air, her expressions shifting wildly, it was like something out of a ghost story.
“I’m fine. I was affected by an illusion just now, my mind got a little unstable,” Xia Yi replied.
Although she had returned from the illusion, the root problem remained unresolved.
The illusions of Takamagahara were still eroding her mind.
Falling back into that illusory world was only a matter of time, and she didn’t even know if she could awaken again by sheer willpower.
“You’re injured, Fox Radish.”
Xia Yi crouched down, examining the little fox’s wounds.
The situation was far from optimistic, she needed treatment as soon as possible.
“It’s… it’s fine. I’ve awakened the bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Fox God, I won’t die anytime soon,” the little fox said gloomily. “But I won’t be able to fight anymore… The White Night Cult Leader suddenly became much stronger.”
“What did he do?”
“The White Night Cult Leader came to Qiuqianyuan for the purpose of…”
The little fox briefly and clearly explained his entire scheme.
Xia Yi now understood the situation.
The White Night Cult Leader was indeed an extremely troublesome enemy.
“The current situation… is extremely critical,” the little fox lowered her head. “Once he uses the hundred thousand fox army as fuel and expands Takamagahara, the fox race will be finished.”
Afterward, the entire fox race would be used as fuel, gradually spreading the domain until it covered the entire land.
At that point, the world would fall into his hands.
As for escaping…
Xia Yi considered it briefly.
If they fled now, there would be no chance of turning the situation around.
“I’m sorry, my nemesis… I shouldn’t have dragged you into this. I should have faced the White Night Cult myself…” the little fox trembled, tears spilling from her eyes.
Xia Yi raised her hand and gently wiped away her tears.
“It’s not over yet, Fox Radish. Don’t cry, I still have a way.”
