91: Behead

Qin Yue concentrated on dealing with the attacks from the surrounding fox demons while searching for the real fox demon.

Fortunately, although the illusions of the fox demons attacking him had some offensive capabilities, their attack power was generally weak, allowing him to divert his attention to thinking about how to break the situation.

Qin Yue had to find the true body of this fox demon quickly, because the other two demon beasts would rush over as soon as they heard the commotion.

Qin Yue had no way to deal with three Ninggang Realm demon beasts simultaneously; if those two demon beasts arrived, he would have to flee immediately.

After slaying several rooms full of fox demon illusions, Qin Yue still hadn't found the fox demon's true body.

He couldn't delay any longer; those two demon beasts could arrive at any moment, and if Qin Yue was cornered, he wasn't sure he could escape.

Qin Yue once again activated his Protective Aura Vine Whip, striking down all the fox demon illusions in the room, then turned to rush out the door.

Just as one of his feet was about to kick the door, Qin Yue suddenly felt something was wrong; he retracted the foot kicking the door and directly activated AFK System.

Under AFK System, Qin Yue's consciousness detached from his body, and he saw a completely different scene than before.

Qin Yue stood frozen in the middle of the severed fox demon's large bed, the fox demon leaning on a section of the broken bed, heedless of her severed, bleeding legs, her eyes fixed intently on his body.

Because Qin Yue was pulled into the illusion, and the fox demon needed to keep Qin Yue controlled within the illusion, both the man and the demon remained motionless in the fox demon's bedroom.

So it wasn't that many fox demon illusions appeared in the room, but rather that Qin Yue himself was pulled into the illusion by the fox demon.

This was, of course, disadvantageous for Qin Yue; the three Ninggang Realm demon beasts lived nearby, and if any other demon beast discovered something amiss here, Qin Yue, trapped in the illusion, would not escape death.

However, while Qin Yue's own consciousness could be deceived, the AFK System currently controlling Qin Yue's body would not be.

Qin Yue directly activated the idling monster-slaying mode, turning his entire body to face the half-severed fox demon and unleashing an Eight-Armed Strike.

Just as Qin Yue turned, the fox demon had already sensed something was wrong and let out a wail; the sound was sharp and thin, and Qin Yue knew without needing to perceive externally that it had definitely awakened the surrounding demon beasts.

But the more this happened, the more Qin Yue needed to act quickly; this Eight-Armed Strike directly severed the fox demon's upper body again.

With that, the fox demon was completely dead, and the illusion interfering with Qin Yue also disappeared.

As soon as Qin Yue slew this fox demon, a violent force directly shattered the door of the fox demon's bedroom.

A massive bear paw, carrying fragments of the door, struck towards Qin Yue.

Qin Yue's vine arms grabbed the doorpost behind him, rapidly pulling Qin Yue back to dodge the attack, then shattered the window behind him, preparing to jump out the window.

But before Qin Yue could act, a small, emerald-green snake shot into the room from the window, its two fangs gleaming green, striking towards Qin Yue's neck.

Facing the dual threat of the Ninggang Realm venomous snake's fangs and the bear paw flying back towards him, one of Qin Yue's vine demon arms pointed to the ground, propelling Qin Yue upwards, while another pointed to the sky, opening the bedroom roof, allowing Qin Yue to burst out through the roof.

With a sound of explosion, a large hole appeared in the fox demon's entire roof, and three figures leaped out from this hole.

Countless small demons had already gathered around, but none of them stepped forward; they all watched from nearby, waiting for the results of the battle inside the room.

Qin Yue burst out from the roof but did not flee outwards; instead, he flipped into the courtyard.

Subsequently, two figures, one tall and one petite, also leaped into the courtyard, standing opposite Qin Yue.

The tall figure was the bear demon, and the petite figure was the bamboo viper from just now.

"Why aren't you running? Your demonic cultivation indeed has guts, daring to infiltrate our stronghold to assassinate my elder brother.

Today, I'll make you pay with your life first, and then I'll dig out your two companions from the ground and devour them alive, leaving all three of you without a burial place!!!"

"Demonic cultivator, return my elder brother's life!"

With that, the female demon transformed back into her snake demon true form and lunged forward again.

Qin Yue did not directly run out of the demon beast stronghold from the roof; he came to this courtyard for a reason, of course.

He merely gestured with his hand, and the ground beneath his feet directly rose, a tiger demon corpse even larger than the bear demon emerging from beneath, blocking the snake demon's attacking fangs.

The snake demon bit directly into the tiger demon's skin, then coiled its tail and sprang back.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, ptooey"

The snake demon spat several times before the taste of preservative in her mouth lessened somewhat.

At this moment, the bear demon made its move.

Its Demonic Qi tightened, and with a surge, its entire bear body rapidly swelled, quickly surpassing the height of the tiger demon.

After the bear demon grew larger, it tilted its shoulder, and its entire body charged towards Qin Yue's Tiger Demon Puppet.

Qin Yue activated the Tiger Demon Puppet's idling monster-slaying mode; seeing the bear demon charge, the Tiger Demon Puppet also lowered its body and charged forward.

Two colossal beasts thus clashed repeatedly in this small courtyard, kicking up dust from the ground and shaking the entire courtyard.

Taking advantage of this time, Qin Yue summoned another Puppet from underground; this Puppet was Qin Yue's primary combat Puppet, the Six-Armed Puppet.

However, after Qin Yue fed the Six Demon Pill into the Six-Armed Puppet's mouth, he found that the snake demon had disappeared.

Qin Yue immediately began maximizing his Super-Sense Mode, because he knew that the enemies in front of him were never as terrifying as the hidden ones.

It turned out that the snake demon had retreated into the bedroom, hiding herself and waiting for an opportunity to ambush.

But after waiting for a while, Qin Yue realized something was wrong.

The surrounding mist grew thicker, and as Qin Yue breathed, his body became softer and softer, gradually feeling numb.

Qin Yue knew it must be the snake demon's doing.

But she didn't know that Qin Yue, as a Pill Refining Peak disciple, was most skilled at making and refining poisons.

Even if Qin Yue had some specialized knowledge, a little poison wouldn't trouble him.

However, Qin Yue thought for a moment, pretended not to notice, and urged the Six-Armed Puppet forward to gang up on the bear demon with the disadvantaged Tiger Demon Puppet.

The addition of the Six-Armed Puppet raised the intensity of the battle to another level.

But the bear demon was thick-skinned and tough, so the battle wouldn't yield any results anytime soon.

At this moment, Qin Yue himself seemed to lose his balance, took out a Medicinal Pill from his bosom, put it into his mouth, and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

The reaction speed of the Tiger Demon Puppet and the Six-Armed Puppet also seemed to decrease, allowing the bear demon to gain the upper hand again.

After a while, in Qin Yue's Super-Sense, the snake demon, using the smoke and dust as cover, circled along the wall to get behind Qin Yue.

Once in position, the snake demon sprang straight up, its fangs striking directly at Qin Yue's neck.
