Chapter 12: The Rematch with the Demon Fox (Part 2)

  "Hahaha, isn't it awesome?" The fox spirit smiled complacently, stroking the hair at the corner of her eye, and said with a self-satisfied tone: "Back then, this puppet technique almost controlled even the Pure Yang True Man Lü Dongbin, who had to flee in disarray. If even gods are like that, what about you, a mere mortal?"

  Ouyang Xuan was furious, refusing to admit defeat. With a loud roar, he desperately activated the Red Leopard Inner Pellet and Zhu Rong Inner Pellet, launching a counterattack against the evil force within the Spiritual Ocean.

  For a moment, the spiritual fire on Ouyang Xuan's body burned fiercely, emitting waves of intense red light, scorching the surrounding temperature like a hot summer day.

  The fox's face changed: "What a strong power, unfortunately, you can't escape my bondage for the time being, now I'm going to take your life!" As she spoke, the fox raised her hand and the countless fragments of stone beside her suddenly rose into the air, whizzing towards Ouyang Xuan like a fire.

  "Hiss——hiss——" Unexpectedly, the countless gravel fragments that came into contact with Ouyang Xuan's protective spiritual fire exploded into a gray mist, unable to harm Ouyang Xuan.

  The fox's face changed, and he sneered: "The 'Samadhi True Fire' is indeed overbearing, but I'll let you kill yourself, see what you can do!" He raised his evil jade hand slightly towards the air, and Ouyang Xuan's arms involuntarily rose as well.

  "Die!" The demon fox suddenly shouted, and Ouyang Xuan felt his own fists smashing into his chest with the force of a thunderbolt.

  Ouyang Xuan was of course clear about the power of his own fists, and he bitterly smiled: "It's over, this nine-tailed spirit fox is truly a god-like existence, can't beat her!"

  At this moment, a clear and loud eagle cry suddenly came from the sky, like a solemn Sanskrit sound filled with righteous power and boundless majesty.

  Suddenly, Ouyang Xuan felt his body regain its freedom and hastily stopped the two fists that were about to strike his chest, and a crazy cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

  At this moment, a hoarse voice seemed to come from the void: "You evil creature, you have committed too many atrocities, don't you know how to repent?"

  "Who are you? How can you possibly break my puppet technique?" The fox demon's face was somewhat panicked as she said this.

  Another loud and clear eagle cry echoed in the sky, followed by a sharp golden light descending from the heavens, which easily dispersed the endless green mist in the valley - the extreme demonic realm of the demon fox was also destroyed!

  "Amitabha Buddha!" Along with a solemn Buddhist chant, the golden light descending from the sky transformed into a gigantic and majestic golden eagle. On the back of the golden eagle was an old Taoist priest with white hair fluttering in the wind, who was over a hundred years old.

  "Who are you?" The fox's face turned pale and frightened as she gazed at the giant golden eagle soaring in mid-air.

  "The old Daoist, Yī Chén Zǐ, was also a member of the Dragon Group. He had already retired, but with the emergence of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, a calamity that appears only once in a thousand years, how could I just sit back and do nothing?" The Daoist held his feather duster, his face solemn and ethereal as if he were an immortal.

  "It turned out to be a senior, junior Long Zu member Ouyang Xuan has met Yichenzi senior before!" Ouyang Xuan was overjoyed; help has arrived!

  Yi Chenzi smiled and nodded at Ouyang Xuan, but when he saw the other four Lin Danfeng who were on their last breath, his face turned very angry: "You evil creature, your evil deeds have gone too far, heaven and earth are outraged. Look at this Golden Eagle, do you still recognize it?"

  The golden eagle in the air spread its wings and let out a clear cry, its sharp eyes gleaming with golden light, its sharp claws and beak emitting an aura of subduing demons and suppressing evil spirits.

  The demon fox unconsciously took a step back and trembled with voice: "Isn't this golden eagle already gone for a long time?"

  "Amitabha Buddha, even a demon like you has appeared in the world, so naturally this Golden Eagle should also appear! Enlighten yourself, demon!" Yichen Daoist pressed his palm on the eagle's back and rose into the air, floating gently downwards.

  Jin Eagle seemed to have received some command, flapping its wings in the air and letting out a deafening eagle cry, swooping down towards the demon fox.

  The fox fairy seemed to dare not resist, raised its white tail and let out a sharp cry: "Heavenly escape!" and turned into a green light that was about to flee.

  "Ga——" The Golden Eagle let out a clear cry, its beak wide open as it shot out a beam of golden light, striking Qing Mang directly.

  "Ah——" The fox spirit let out a pained cry, and the green fur in mid-air trembled before transforming back into the fox spirit.

  "Void Puppetry!" The desperate fox spirit raised its ninth white tail, shooting a blue electric glow at the rapidly approaching golden eagle.

  "Ka——" With a clear cry, Golden Eagle's two eyes shot out two golden lights. One easily shattered the blue electric light, while the other heavily shone on the body of the demon fox.

  "Ah——" The demon fox that was hit by Golden Eagle's Golden Light let out a mournful howl, its delicate body trembling in agony.

  The golden eagle flapped its wings, bringing a huge gust of wind that pounced on the back of the demon fox. Two giant eagle claws stretched forward and had already seized the demon fox in mid-air.

  "Ka——" Golden Eagle succeeded with one blow, emitting a triumphant clear cry. Immediately afterwards, the Golden Eagle's large mouth shot out a sharp golden light towards the demon fox in its claws.

  "No——" The nine-tailed fox let out a desperate cry, and then rapidly shrunk smaller and smaller before being sucked into the Golden Eagle's mouth by the golden light!

  It's really shocking: this rare nine-tailed demon fox was actually swallowed by the Golden Eagle!

  "Amitabha Buddha!" Yichenzi bowed his head slightly and recited a Buddhist mantra.

  "Ka——" The Golden Eagle let out another long cry in the air, and immediately its whole body shone with a brilliant golden light. Suddenly it transformed into a small, exquisite golden eagle figurine that slowly fell into the hands of Yichenzi!

  "Good, good fierce Golden Eagle!" Ouyang Xuan was shocked, his eyes almost popping out.

  "Finally settled!" Yī Chén Zǐ gently stroked the Golden Eagle, looked at the moon which had cleared up again, and finally relaxed his expression.

  "Thanks a lot for your help, Senior Yichenz!" Ouyang Xuan hurriedly extinguished the flames all over his body and bowed to Yichenzi.

  Yi Chenzi suddenly froze, his facial muscles twitched twice, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Little comrade, where's your clothes?"

  Ouyang Xuan looked at himself and said with an embarrassed smile: "It's all been burned to nothing, please forgive me!"

  Yi Chenzi burst out laughing, took off his Taoist robe and handed it to Ouyang Xuan: "Take it, temporarily cover your body!"

  "Yes, yes, yes!" Ouyang Xuan hurriedly put on his clothes, after all, being naked was not a pleasant sight.

  Yi Chenzi walked towards the dying Lin Danfeng and his three companions, waved his left hand to sweep away the dust, and chanted: "Amitabha Buddha, hurry!" Four golden lights shot out from Yi Chenzi's dust-sweeping sleeve, hitting Lin Danfeng and his three companions right on target.

  In an instant, Lin Danfeng and several others felt the severe pain in their chests suddenly alleviated, and their hands and feet became warm and flexible.

  Several people scrambled up and bowed their fists to Dusty: "Thank you, Master Dao, for saving us!"

  At this time, Ouyang Xuan couldn't help but ask: "Senior, what's the deal with that Golden Eagle? It's incredibly powerful!"

  "Yes! I saw that the demon fox had no resistance in front of the Golden Eagle, it was simply caught off guard, really too powerful!" 'Wind Blade' also nodded vigorously, with a face full of admiration.

  "Hehehe," Yī Chén Zǐ smiled benevolently: "Originally, I had already retired and didn't ask about worldly affairs. But one day, my heart's blood surged, and with a quick calculation, I knew that the nine-tailed demon fox who hadn't appeared in a thousand years was reborn. My heart was worried like a fire, knowing that relying on my own abilities was fundamentally insufficient to resist, so I went straight to Wudang Mountain's Sanqing Temple."

  This golden eagle is the treasure of Sanqing Temple, and it was one of the divine beasts that guarded Guan Yu's chariot in the past. In the past, when Lü Dongbin and Zhou Cang fought against the nine-tailed spirit fox, this golden eagle made the final move and succeeded with one strike. This is because eagles are the natural nemesis of monsters like foxes, snakes, and centipedes.

  The Sanqing Temple has always regarded the Golden Eagle as a forbidden treasure, never lending it out. This is because they only have three spiritual symbols, which can only be used to activate the Golden Eagle three times. Moreover, the Sanqing Temple had already used one of these opportunities when subduing a thousand-year-old demon beast in the past, making it even more precious.

  Lao Dao, I've told you a hundred times about the pros and cons, worn out my tongue, and only then did San Qing Guan lend it to me. As soon as I got the Golden Eagle, I rushed back at top speed. Fortunately, I made it in time; otherwise, none of you would have been saved!

  Everyone suddenly realized and looked at each other with joy.

  Yi Chenzi said, "Fortunately, the nine-tailed fox has just been formed today. If she were to cultivate for another hundred years, I'm afraid it would be difficult to subdue her even with this Golden Eagle. It's fortunate indeed!"

  Everyone was slightly relieved, and Ouyang Xuan looked up at the sky and said excitedly: "Senior, it's getting late, we'll call a helicopter to pick us up right away. Why don't you come with us? An Zu will be thrilled to see you!"

  "Yes!" Everyone was very grateful to Yichenzu and invited him together.

  "No need, no need!" Yichenzi laughed and shook his head repeatedly: "I'm old, I just want to live a few more peaceful days. If it wasn't for the demon being too vicious, I wouldn't have come out of the mountain either. You all go back, greet An Zu on my behalf, I'll return the Golden Eagle to Sanqing Temple. Otherwise, those Taoist friends will swallow me whole!" As he spoke, Yichenzi took out the Golden Eagle sculpture and threw it into the air.

  "Ga——" The sculpture welcomed the wind and grew instantly, transforming into that ferocious giant golden eagle soaring in the sky.

  With a wave of his sleeve, he said to Ouyang Xuan and the others: "Infinite Buddha, farewell, young comrades!" His body rose straight up, like an immortal leaping onto the back of the Golden Eagle.

  The golden eagle let out another long cry, flapped its wings and with a burst of strong wind in the face, it vanished into the hazy night sky in the blink of an eye.

  "What a wonderful person!" Ou Yang Xuan couldn't help but exclaim.

  "Hehe," the little girl suddenly laughed and jumped in front of Ouyang Xuan, making a silly face: "Ouyang brother, where's your clothes? You look so cute wearing that Taoist robe!"

  "Brush——!" Ouyang Xuan's face suddenly turned into a liver color, but he didn't dare to get angry, and for the time being, it was not mentioned how ugly it looked.

  Everyone burst out laughing!
