Chapter 95 - Who Agrees? Who Opposes?
The Six-Tailed Fox was getting closer to the Tiger Demon. Suddenly, the jade pendant started shining as it flashed a bright red light. A huge flame erupted from within it.
Shriek—
Along with a high-pitched shriek, a Phoenix rose from the flames and spread its wings!
The bright red flame lit up the forest. Suddenly, it was like the whole world was up in flames.
All the demons were afraid. Their eyes reflected the fire as they held their breaths.
The high temperature made them sweat.
“Is—is this… The Phoenix Spirit?”
The Tiger Demon froze. The Phoenix was coming at him. His fur stood on their ends at the threat of death.
Roar!
He roared for the final time, using all his might. His Golden Core escaped from his mouth. It was incredibly bright.
Suddenly, a demonic tornado surrounded him.
The Phoenix spread its wings.
Flush!
The flames were like giant snakes rushing toward the tornado, engulfing it.
Everyone watched the scene unfold. The Tiger Demon did not even have time to make a sound. His huge body was gone in a brief moment. Nothing was left of him.
The Phoenix spread its wings again and transformed into flames. Then, it returned into the Jade.
The world was peaceful again.
The jaws of all the demons present were on the ground.
The Tiger Demon evaporated. It was like a dream.
Tap, tap, tap!
The Bear Demon and Lion Demon took three steps back at the same time. They stared fearfully.
The Six-Tailed Fox dropped to the floor. She, too, was frightened and shocked. She looked at her jade pendant, then looked at where the Tiger Demon stood. A shiver ran down her spine.
‘Holy Mother, the Jade from sister is way too powerful!’
“Immortal… Immortal Item?” the Boar Demon shivered. He was practically mumbling.
The Green Python Demon from earlier was so terrified that it almost became a dried snake. It fled into the woods immediately.
Offending a bigshot? What a near-death experience.
The Six-Tailed Fox calmed down. She straightened her fur and stood up. “Anyone else?”
Gulp!
Everyone gulped simultaneously. They looked at the Six-Tailed Fox with fear, respect, and annoyance in their eyes at the same time.
The Lion Demon growled, “How could you pull up with an Immortal Item? We demons compete with our demon skills. You’re just a small Six-Tailed Fox. What makes you deserving of the Demon King title?”
“Yes, that’s right!”
“You’re just a small fox with a lucky item. Rule us? No way!”
The demons yelled and opposed.
The Six-Tailed Fox was anxiously jumping up and down. She did not know what to do so she scratched her head with her paw.
Suddenly, a female figure walked out from the woods, her flowy white dress stood out in the night.
“Who opposes?” Every demon was surprised by the cold voice.
The Six-Tailed Fox was overjoyed at the sight of her family. “Sister!”
“Human girl?” the Lion Demon sneered. “You dare come here alone? Do you know what this place is?”
“This is in the middle of nowhere and you all look terrifying. So, of course, you’re all demons.” The lady in the white dress smirked as her eyes glinted. “Coincidentally, I’m a demon, too!”
Whoosh!
Nine pure white tails spread out from beneath her dress, luminescent under the moonlight!
Her nine huge tails swayed. The demons were stumped by her powerful aura.
“Nine-Tailed Fox? Weren’t you captured by the cultivators from the Linxian Palace?” The Lion Demon was in disbelief as he widened his eyes.
Daji glared at the Lion Demon and said coldly, “This is your last chance. Comply…or die!”
“Ha! No wonder this Six-Tailed Fox dared to step out. She has you to support her!” The Lion Demon squinted. His senses were heightened. He said with a menacing grin, “But, you just transformed. That means you’ll need to start cultivating all over again. You should be hiding. What gives you the courage to run for Demon King? You must have a death wish!”
Roar!
Then, he showed his true colors. He transformed into a humongous lion. His demon powers growled in him like thunder. He said, “That jade pendant was a defense Immortal Item, so it won’t attack. We’ll just leave the Six-Tailed Fox alone. Everyone, kill this Nine-Tailed Fox! We’ll divide her Core! Small demons, follow my lead!”
Whoosh!
Flames appeared on the Lion Demon as he leaped at Daji like a lion leaping through a ring of fire.
Thirty demons followed him, screaming and ready to kill.
Her dress was blowing in the wind. She looked like a fairy.
They did not faze Daji. She approached the demons with light footsteps.
This scene was like ‘The Beauty and the Beast’. The contrast was astounding.
The temperature surrounding Daji was freezing as she moved. Her eyes turned blue. She gently said, “Since you’ve all chosen death… So be it!”
Crack!
The ground immediately froze!
The trees, the grass, and the soil were covered in snow. It was like an ice age.
The Lion Demon was startled. He was flaming but he still shivered from the cold. He knew he had messed up.
Boom!
He opened his mouth and out came a huge fireball like a cannon.
However, the fireball was frozen in place as it approached Daji. The flames went out.
The Lion Demon was terrified. He turned around without hesitation. “Retreat!”
He was too late. He had only turned around halfway and was suddenly frozen in place. His mouth was open but no sound came out.
The demons behind him were utterly horrified. Some of them did not have the time to react, so they were all frozen into statues, too!
The other demons were petrified. They went blank and did not know how to react.
Daji glanced at them with her blue eyes. She sounded like a Goddess, cold and powerful. “My little sister wants to be the Demon King. Now, who agrees? Who opposes?”
