"Are we really going to find Jiutun Tongzi?"
Nafu’s expression showed a hint of fear, as the little girl looked up and said, "He’s a very powerful demon."
Duncan laughed without comment.
How powerful can he be? Compared to King Arthur? Beowulf? How does he stand?
These are all his foster sons.
Jiutun Tongzi’s legendary level is minimal; it’s flattering to call him a thousand-year-old demon, but less flattering to call him a mountain overlord, probably lacking a millennium’s worth of cultivation.
"That’s just a side task."
"No rush."
Duncan’s figure headed towards a bamboo forest outside Kyoto; his true target was only one, the Nine-tailed Fox.
At this moment, night was deepening.
Somehow, a chilling wind arose around, and Nafu was frightened, hiding behind him. Fusang has many small demons like her, who aren’t much stronger than humans.
——Fox Fire (One Star).
Interesting.
They can even transform flames into monsters.
Just as Duncan’s figure entered the bamboo forest, a swift figure darted through the bamboo, ghost-like, eventually landing lightly on a stalk. Licking its paw, the petite figure said, "Where are you from, demon? Meow?"
"Don’t you know this is Lady Yuzaoqian’s domain?"
——Cat Demon (Yokai) (Three-star Silver Gray).
Three tails swayed in the wind.
Duncan looked at the three tails behind the petite figure in front of him, feeling a sudden urge to pet the cat; after all, Eastern yokai were more interesting, while Western Tree Spirits were somewhat tiring.
"Yuzaoqian?"
"Got your nickname so early?"
Duncan sized up the cat demon in front of him, raising an eyebrow and said, "You, a cat demon, how did you get mixed up with foxes?"
The Cat Demon showed a slightly angry expression and said, "You human are so annoying~ Meow!"
A flash of cold light passed by.
She pounced directly at him, seemingly wanting to teach Duncan a lesson.
Meow~!
But the next second, her pouncing figure came to an abrupt halt, as Duncan effortlessly lifted her by the neck, just like a little chick. Her pitiful appearance looked like a helpless little kitten.
Not a Nine-Life Cat Demon, no need to use a large form.
"Your Majesty."
"Why make things difficult for a small cat demon?"
A faint sigh sounded.
At this moment, a burst of fox fire suddenly attacked, and Duncan instantly withdrew his hand, shielding Nafu behind him. The fox fire landed on him, leaving scorching marks, but they healed quickly.
——Yuzaoqian (White-faced Golden Nine-tailed Fox) (Five-star Gold)!
Indeed, a great yokai.
The mist around the bamboo forest spread out in all directions, and then a woman dressed in luxurious clothes, donned in full attire, appeared wearing a fox mask. Even though her face was not visible, she gave an impression of being extraordinarily beautiful, with every movement filled with a peculiar charm.
Behind her, from a bird’s-eye view, fluffy fox tails unfurled, no more, no less, exactly nine tails.
She was flanked by attendants.
Both male and female, all foxes, with the right side being a mature woman with stunning beauty, quite enchanting, with three red fox tails behind her. The attendant on the other side was male, handsome in appearance, also a fully-formed fox spirit, carrying an ancient zither on his back.
Duncan took a step forward, and the space behind him seemed to tear apart, revealing an illusion of a mountain of corpses and sea of blood.
Great yokai.
He couldn’t deal with this using just an avatar, needing to call upon some Immortal power.
——Nord Bow.
As Duncan’s avatar raised its palm, the Nord Bow was directly summoned, and the appearance of the divine artifact made the nine-tailed fox’s face change slightly, her tone becoming much more polite, saying softly, "Your Majesty came all the way to Fusang."
"Just to trouble a little girl like me?"
——Cursed Long Spear.
Duncan raised his hand expressionlessly, and the Cursed Long Spear from the Celtic pantheon descended, stronger than before, as if it had absorbed many souls in World Three.
With the spear in hand, overwhelming killing intent shocked the fox spirits nearby immensely.
Fox spirits, huh.
Even in the East, many have been killed by the dozens.
"Not really."
