40: Four-tailed fox demon! Deadly charm!

Relying on the Stealth Talisman's invisibility, Su Yang continued to venture deeper into the valley.

The entire valley was extremely quiet; there was no terrifying aura of powerful Spirit Beasts lurking there as he had imagined. It was so quiet it seemed as if no living creature was inside.

However, the bones in front of the valley proved that powerful Spirit Beasts definitely existed here.

The quieter it was, the more cautious Su Yang became.

As he continued to delve deeper, Su Yang discovered a slightly crude cave in the deepest part of the valley, concealed by vines.

"Spirit Beast's lair?"

Su Yang's heart quickened.

He dared not rashly use his Divine Sense to scout the situation and continued to rely on the Stealth Talisman's invisibility to enter the cave.

If there were young beasts in the cave, he would simply snatch one and swiftly leave the area.

If an adult Spirit Beast was also in the cave, he would wait for it to leave before making off with its young.

He had only been in the mountains for two days; he could afford to wait.

However... after entering the cave, Su Yang was stunned.

Inside the cave were stone tables, stone stools, and a stone bed, as well as bone-made teapots and cups.

Upon entering the cave, he did not find the characteristic foul smell of a Spirit Beast's lair; instead, there was a peculiar fragrance.

"Is there a powerful Cultivator living in seclusion here?"

Su Yang's heart was filled with doubt.

This was clearly not a Spirit Beast's den; it looked like someone was living here.

Moreover, the cave was free of dust, indicating that the owner of this cave had been living here continuously.

"Run!"

After his initial disappointment, Su Yang felt a chill down his spine.

The skeletal remains in the valley proved that the owner of this cave was no benevolent being. If he were discovered intruding on his territory, he would most likely meet the same fate as those people.

He dared not linger and quietly retreated.

Just as Su Yang exited the cave entrance.

A pink, enchanting shadow, quick as lightning, appeared almost out of thin air, carrying a strange, soul-stirring fragrance, and lunged straight at Su Yang!

Su Yang's hair stood on end, and his sense of danger instantly soared to the extreme!

Even though he now had the Stealth Talisman on him, he was absolutely certain he had been targeted.

Without thinking, his internal True Essence erupted, the Shadow Travel Boots on his feet flashed with light, and his body suddenly shot forward several dozen feet.

"Tear!"

Despite his extremely fast reaction, Su Yang's clothes on his back were still torn in several places, and a burning pain spread through him.

Blood dripped into thin air, and Su Yang's position was revealed.

"Oh, a Stealth Talisman, giggling, giggling, Pure Yang Qi delivered right to my doorstep, very good, very good."

An extremely sweet and alluring voice came from the side.

Su Yang's mind trembled; just hearing the voice made his head feel a little dizzy.

He focused on the attacker in the direction of the voice.

Su Yang's pupils suddenly contracted.

The attacker was not a behemoth, nor was it a human Cultivator as he had thought, but a fox with a pinkish-white body and four tails.

The tips of this fox's four tails were adorned with an even more striking pink. Her body was graceful, her fox eyes gleamed with anthropomorphic cunning and greed, and her four fluffy tails swayed gently behind her, stirring the surrounding Spiritual Qi.

"Four... Four-Tailed Fox Demon!"

Su Yang gasped, simultaneously raising the True Essence within him to its peak.

According to the Sect's ancient texts, the "Spirit Beast Compendium," fox demons were not among the top-tier Spirit Beasts, but once a fox demon Cultivated a second tail, it would be referred to as an mutated Spirit Beast, its strength greatly increasing, and its potential immediately entering the ranks of top-tier Spirit Beasts. Once it Cultivated nine tails, its strength would be equivalent to a Human Race Mahayana stage powerhouse.

Four tails meant that her current strength was comparable to a Human Race Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Run!

This was the only thought in Su Yang's mind!

Foundation Establishment versus Nascent Soul—if a clash occurred, it wouldn't be a battle at all, but pure annihilation!

Even if he held a divine sword, he couldn't guarantee that he could defeat a Nascent Soul Great Demon.

True Essence gathered, Shadow Travel Boots fully activated.

His speed reached its maximum.

However, just as his body moved, a pink light flashed in the Four-Tailed Fox's eyes.

Su Yang felt as if the space around him had solidified. An invisible yet incredibly powerful Divine Thought instantly locked onto him, and the surging True Essence within him felt as if it had fallen into a quagmire, its circulation becoming incredibly sluggish!

"Damn it... so strong..."

Su Yang's Innate Kidney Body could continuously output powerful True Essence, but after being locked on, his speed still slowed down significantly.

A pink light flashed before him.

Su Yang's sword in his hand was about to swing out when another pink light flashed, tearing his clothes and simultaneously ripping off the Stealth Talisman hidden inside his attire.

Su Yang was forced to reveal his figure.

But Su Yang's movements did not stop; he thrust a sword at the Four-Tailed Fox in front of him.

Powerful True Essence, along with the divine sword, unleashed dozens of Sword Qi simultaneously, completely sealing off all escape routes for the Four-Tailed Fox.

"Oh?"

The Four-Tailed Fox let out a calm and unhurried sound of surprise, then transformed into a pink light and appeared behind Su Yang.

The Sword Qi vanished into the dense purple mist, and a huge explosion echoed in the distance.

Su Yang only felt a chill down his spine. Just as he was about to create distance, a powerful pressure instantly immobilized him, rendering him unable to move.

"So it was you who obtained this sword..."

"I never thought someone could actually pick up this sword, tsk tsk tsk... you're quite extraordinary, kid..."

The pinkish-white Four-Tailed Fox circled Su Yang, observing him leisurely and curiously, her nose twitching as if sniffing something.

Gradually, extreme excitement and greed erupted in her alluring fox eyes!

"Top-tier Pure Yang Body!"

"Hmm... such alluring Pure Yang True Essence! Such alluring Pure Yang Qi!"

"Heaven has been kind to you, giving you a divine sword. Heaven has been good to me too, sending you to my side~~~ Hmm~~~ You smell so good~~~ Sucking you dry should at least let me regrow my fifth tail~~~"

The Four-Tailed Fox sniffed Su Yang with a look of infatuation.

Then, a flash of pinkish-white light, and the Four-Tailed Fox disappeared.

In her place stood a seductive woman, clad in light gauze, with a figure so curvaceous it would make one's nose bleed.

Her beauty was unparalleled, her charm natural, and her gaze, as it shifted, seemed capable of snatching the souls of all men in the world.

She was barefoot, leaning against Su Yang with boneless grace, her crimson lips slightly parted, her voice soft and intoxicating: "Such pure Pure Yang Qi... Little brother, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Stay... and sister will keep you company..."

A pink light flashed in her foxy eyes.

The moment he met that gaze, Su Yang's mind reeled. He knew it was the fox demon's charm, yet his consciousness involuntarily sank into her boundless allure, his body completely unresponsive. He could only watch as the enchanting woman extended her slender, jade-like finger and gently tapped his glabella.

A terrifying suction force emanated from her fingertip. Su Yang felt his True Essence, and even his vital essence, uncontrollably pouring out and into her body!

"Hmm~~~"

The fox demon narrowed her eyes in comfort.

She had absorbed the True Essence and vital essence of many Sect disciples here, but no one's True Essence and vital essence had ever brought her such pleasure.

His True Essence was not only abundant but also contained a peculiar power that made her demon core leap with joy, and her Cultivation visibly increased!

"What a... delightful surprise!"

The fox demon's eyes gleamed with even greater greed, and she intensified her absorption, vowing to drain this "human-shaped treasure medicine" that had fallen from the sky completely dry!

Once her fifth tail reappeared, her strength would greatly increase again.

Su Yang's face visibly paled at an alarming rate, his body began to tremble slightly, and his consciousness gradually blurred.

"Damn it, I can't let her keep sucking like this!"

"If she keeps sucking like this, I'll be completely drained of Pure Yang Qi and die of exhaustion within half an incense stick's time!"

"I absolutely cannot die here!"

Su Yang could feel his Innate Kidney Body continuously resisting the fox demon's absorption. If not for that, he would have been sucked dry in minutes by her greedy absorption.

But the fox demon's strength far surpassed his; even with his Innate Kidney Body, he couldn't resist indefinitely.

The only option now was to fight to the death!

Su Yang forcibly circulated his True Essence to impact his brain, and the powerful True Essence instantly broke through her charm.

After regaining his senses, Su Yang, seizing the moment when the fox demon was immersed in extreme pleasure and exposed a brief mental flaw, suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist, brought her to the ground, and with a Spiritual Root impact, instantly suppressed her True Essence...
