25: Chapter 25 Seventh-Order Demon King

Drip, drip...

Warm liquid fell onto the white fox fur.

Sensing something amiss, Hu Wang's body shuddered slightly. He slowly lifted his head, only to see several striking red plum blossom spots staining his originally pristine white fur.

He anxiously lifted his tear-filled eyes and saw the smiling face he would never be able to forget in his entire life...

At this moment, the spiritual power fluctuations on Xiao Long completely dissipated. His eyes trembled violently as he stared in disbelief at the person before him.

It was Xiao Meng!

No one knew when this silly girl had woken up, or how she had instantly appeared in front of the little white fox to block this long-premeditated, fatal blow.

"Xiao Meng... how could you..." Xiao Long slowly retracted his blood-stained fist, speaking with a pained heart.

Although he had immediately dissipated the spiritual power attached to his fist the moment he realized Xiao Meng had appeared, as a quasi-third-rank Esper, his physical fitness was far beyond that of an ordinary person. Furthermore, Xiao Meng's spiritual power was exhausted, leaving her unable to protect her body with spiritual power, which was why she was instantly severely injured.

"Brother... I beg you, don't kill him... Give me a little more time, I will soon be able to... be able to..."

Xiao Meng slowly turned her head, red blood constantly dripping from the corner of her mouth as she spoke.

In that brief moment, Xing Yaoyan had already run to Xiao Meng's side, her body radiating a golden light constructed from Power Of Will.

That sneaky bastard almost succeeded in the sneak attack; fortunately, Xiao Meng arrived in time...

However... this sweet, silly girl has suffered for it. Hu Wang, you really are a scumbag!

Although she badmouthed Hu Wang in her heart once more, Xing Yaoyan kept her full attention on Xiao Long, ensuring he would not have the chance to suddenly approach Hu Wang.

"Little Xiao Yan, step aside."

Huh? Senior. How can you speak directly in public like that! How am I supposed to protect you now!

The Little White Wolf, who had already built up her Aura, instantly relaxed. The golden light on her body quickly dimmed, and she began to give up, failing to realize that the source of the voice was above her head...

"Little White, why did you speak in front of my brother and Master Qian Mo? Didn't we agree..."

Xiao Meng turned her head in a panic, only to bump into a solid arm.

"Huh? Little White, you..."

Xiao Meng looked up, and what came into view was an excessively handsome face. Silver hair floated in the air, defying gravity, and the man's familiar fox eyes revealed his identity.

Having realized what was happening, Xing Yaoyan stared blankly at the perfectly matched pair before her, her mouth wide open.

Th-this is Senior Hu Wang??!

"Demon Fox, Demon Fox... Heh, it seems they were right after all. You really are a Demon Fox that bewitches people's hearts!"

Xiao Long gritted his teeth and roared at the transformed Hu Wang.

"Let go of my sister immediately! After all these years, hasn't she suffered enough because of you! Do you even deserve to touch her!"

"I know I don't deserve to..."

Hu Wang's eyes never left the girl in his arms. His eyes were brimming with tears, and he whispered:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was too selfish..."

Tears finally welled up and spilled uncontrollably from his eyes.

"Little White... how did you suddenly turn into such a handsome guy... Don't cry, don't cry, it won't look good if you cry..."

As she spoke, Xiao Meng reached out and gently wiped the tears from the corner of Hu Wang's eyes.

Upon hearing this, Hu Wang seemed as if he had been struck by lightning. A massive surge of Demonic Power instantly spread outward, the terrifying pressure causing the bodies of everyone present to tremble uncontrollably.

Th-this is the kind of Demonic Power only a Demon Fox of what rank could possess...

[Ding! Detected a Prowang Demon Fox reversing Reincarnation! Warning! The Demonic Power of this Prowang Demon Fox has reached the level of a Seventh-Rank Demonic King. Host, please take care of yourself; the System is preparing to run away...]

The System's words constantly assaulted Qian Mo's nerves, but at this moment, under the pressure of this massive Demonic Power, he couldn't muster even a bit of spiritual power. This was an absolute suppression of rank. He could only anxiously watch Xing Yaoyan, who was closest to the center of this Demonic Power, praying that she would not be harmed.

Holy crap, Senior! You're playing for real!

Xing Yaoyan radiated golden light, barely managing to raise her eyes amidst this massive Demonic Power storm to observe Hu Wang's movements.

...

At this moment, the Youfeng City Security Bureau.

Piercing alarm sounds echoed incessantly.

"Uncle Li! What is going on?" Captain Li Qiaoyan, who had just been slacking off in Director Li Li's office to pass the time, stood up abruptly, watching with some fear as Director Li Li's expression gradually turned grim.

"The Demonic Power radar has detected fluctuations of a Seventh-Rank Demonic King in the downtown area."

"Seventh-Rank... A Seventh-Rank Demonic King?! How did it get in?! This... this is not scientific!"

"Stay calm, Captain Li Qiaoyan. It will take some time for the Seventh-Rank Esper dispatched from headquarters to arrive. For now, stay here and behave yourself. We old guys will go hold that Demonic King back!"

As he spoke, Director Li Li stood up, his mechanical arm glowing with blue light.

"Uncle Li! I am a combatant too!" Having calmed down, Captain Li Qiaoyan immediately stepped forward to request permission to join.

"With your third-rank strength? You'll just be going to your death."

Director Li Li waved his hand.

"You are the hope of humanity's future. Stay here and behave yourself; that is an order!"

"Uncle Li! Although I am only an intern, ever since I decided to come to the Security Bureau, I have been prepared!"

This was the first time Captain Li Qiaoyan had disobeyed an order.

"Even if you don't let me fight, I still want to go to the front lines to help! Besides, if the Demonic King really goes berserk, am I safe staying here?!"

Looking at the girl's determined gaze, Director Li Li's expression shifted slightly, his face revealing an extremely complex look.

"Sigh... you are just like your father... Fine. Silver Dragon Enforcer, Captain Li Qiaoyan, I order you to immediately accompany the main force to the area where the Seventh-Rank Demonic King is located and handle the evacuation and protection of the public!"

"Yes!" Captain Li Qiaoyan gave a standard military salute, then quickly ran outside.

After she left, Director Li Li looked up at the window.

More than a dozen military mecha tanks, trailing blue streaks of light, flew off into the distance, where the sun was setting.

"I'm sorry, old friend, I broke my promise after all. However, I swear, I will do my best to ensure her safety..."

Subsequently, Director Li Li snapped his fingers, and dense silver spots of light, accompanied by mechanical "clack-clack" sounds, quickly covered his entire body completely.

When the light dissipated, a menacing humanoid mecha appeared in the spot where Director Li Li had just been.

In the next instant, with a sonic boom, the mecha instantly turned into a silver meteor, shot through the window, and flew toward the direction of the Demonic King, following the mecha tanks.
