Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 114 Blackmail

"Stop right now, or I'll give this little girl another hole in her body!" Ru Xiang shouted, his loud voice silencing the entire forest.

Qin Xiaochuan clenched his fists tightly, suppressing his anger.

Damn it, that despicable scoundrel! He couldn't help but curse inwardly, while also hating himself for being so careless, otherwise Xiaoying wouldn't have fallen into the other party's hands.

Upon hearing Ru Xiang's words, everyone in the room stopped what they were doing, and a cold smile appeared in Kawamoto Taro's narrow eyes.

"Well done," he said happily.

Han Kexin and Zhou Bin stood quietly in place, their eyes coldly fixed on Ru Xiang. Their indifferent faces showed no sign of worry, and it was impossible to tell what they were thinking. Qin Xiaochuan was a little afraid to look them in the eye, because the current situation was all caused by his negligence. He would rather be in Ru Xiang's hands right now.

He looked at Xiaoying with a pang of sympathy. To his surprise, the little girl didn't show any panic or fear. Instead, she blinked her big eyes at Han Kexin, looking completely confident.

What a silly girl, Qin Xiaochuan thought. Perhaps in her little mind, her aunt could save her in no time. But Qin Xiaochuan knew that was impossible. No matter how fast Han Kexin was, she couldn't be as fast as the ice spike in Xiang's hand.

"Now you guys all walk ahead obediently, and don't try anything funny. I'm sure you don't want this little girl to suffer, right?" Ru Xiang shook his bald, round head, a smug smile on his face. As he spoke, the flesh on his cheeks trembled incessantly.

Based on the conversation he overheard behind the ancient tree, Qin Xiaochuan understood their intentions. The reason they had the four of them walk in front was clearly to have Han Kexin and the others deal with the "it" they were talking about. However, he didn't understand what that "it" was, that even a master like Kawamoto Taro was so afraid of it.

To everyone's surprise, after hearing Ru Xiang's words, Han Kexin and Zhou Bin stood motionless, their four cold eyes still fixed on Ru Xiang.

Perhaps feeling uncomfortable, or perhaps hiding his fear, Ru Xiang suddenly became furious and shouted, "Did you hear what I said? Get ahead and lead the way! Do you want this little girl to have another hole in her body?" As he spoke, he raised the ice pick in his hand, as if to stab Xiao Ying.

Upon seeing this, Qin Xiaochuan's expression changed drastically. He quickly looked at Han Kexin, preparing to advise her not to be too radical, but he noticed a cold glint in her eyes, and she coldly uttered a single word.

"die."

A powerful killing intent instantly emanated from Han Kexin, sending a chill down everyone's spine.

"Flap flap flap." Several owls that had been sleeping in the tree trunks couldn't help but fly out and flee in panic to the distance.

Ru Xiang stared at Han Kexin in disbelief. He couldn't understand why she dared to do this. He clearly held leverage over her, yet she seemed completely unconcerned. Not only that, but she also exuded a powerful killing intent, which made him very uneasy. As Han Kexin's killing intent grew stronger, his unease increased...

"What do you want to do?" he finally roared, hoping to suppress his inner unease, but he dared not move his hands any further.

Just then, Han Kexin suddenly shouted, "Xiaoying, beat him up!"

Before Han Kexin could finish speaking, a red light suddenly flashed behind Xiaoying, which directly bounced Ruxiang two meters away. Xiaoying then turned to face Ruxiang, stretched out her right hand, and another red light flashed. A red ribbon flew out from her arm. The ribbon was full of spiritual power and was clearly shimmering with red light. In the blink of an eye, it hit Ruxiang's chest.

Ru Xiang was no ordinary person either. As soon as he saw Xiao Ying's red ribbon fly out, he quickly formed several hand seals, and an ice shield appeared in front of his chest. Even so, he was still hit by the red ribbon and coughed up blood. He flew seven or eight meters into the air before falling heavily to the ground.

At this moment, Ru Xiang's round face was filled with horror, but he was not fatally injured. After falling to the ground, he quickly got up and prepared to run to Kawamoto Taro's side.

However, after he had only taken two steps, a white, sharp bone spur as thick as a thigh suddenly emerged from the ground without warning and swiftly pierced towards Ru Xiang, who was running. At that moment, Ru Xiang had just lifted his foot to take his third step when the white bone pierced through his entire body from beneath him and finally emerged from his back.

The stench of blood instantly spread through the woods, and the gushing blood cascaded down around Ru Xiang like a fountain.

silence!

Everyone in the room stared silently at Ruxiang's corpse. His eyes were wide open and his mouth was agape. He had died before he could even cry out in pain. Because of the blood penetrating his bones, Ruxiang's already short and stout body had grown even thicker. His monk's robe was tightly taut on his body, and blood flowed continuously from his body down his bones. In just a moment, the ground beneath Ruxiang's body turned a dark red.

All of this happened too suddenly and unexpectedly. Although Qin Xiaochuan still didn't understand what was going on, he felt a vague unease, especially when a killing intent even stronger than Han Kexin's emanated from the woods ahead. That unease intensified.

Suddenly, Natsume Eiko said something in Japanese behind her. The rest of the Conqueror team heard it but said nothing. They just looked uneasy and stared intently at the direction of the woods ahead.

Qin Xiaochuan looked at Han Kexin and Zhou Bin, both of whom had their brows furrowed, while Xiaoying's face was pale and she looked very scared.

Just as he was about to walk up to her to comfort her, Han Kexin suddenly said coldly, "Don't move."

He froze on the spot and looked into the woods ahead. A dozen meters ahead, an animal slowly emerged from behind an ancient tree.

It was a very strange animal. It was red and white all over, with the body of a deer but the face of a fox. It had a long white tail and a mane like a horse around its neck. It looked at the crowd coldly as it slowly walked towards them.

This is... a Feifei? Qin Xiaochuan wondered uncertainly, does such an animal really exist in this world? Is this the "it" that Kawamoto Taro and Ruxiang were talking about?

He had only ever seen the Feifei in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and he never expected to see it in person today. According to the book, raising Feifei can relieve worries, but this Feifei today seems to have come with ill intentions.

Feifei slowly walked towards them, stopping only in front of Ruxiang's corpse, and then quietly looked at everyone.

Qin Xiaochuan used his Heavenly Eye to examine the spiritual power within Feifei's body. Perhaps because animal spiritual power is different from human spiritual power, he could not accurately determine the level of the other party's spiritual power. However, the density of spiritual power within its body was frighteningly thick, far exceeding that of Han Kexin. It seemed that its strength was at least equivalent to human spiritual power level 8. No wonder so many people, including Kawamoto Taro, could not do anything about it.

He suddenly remembered something: the ancient war between the three races that Han Kexin had told him about. Could this Feifei be a demon from that ancient era? Wasn't it said that all the demons were banished to the Buzhou Realm? Why would one appear here, and what is its purpose?

A withered leaf fell from a branch, and the woods were silent.
