Chapter 9: The Rematch with the Demon Fox (Part 1)

  Dragon Team, Conference Room.

  When Ouyang Xuan walked in, the room was already filled with people.

  Lin Danfeng, Lin Danhong, 'Feng Ya', Zhang Lin, Qin Zhan, and team leader An Qi are all present.

  "Ouyang!" Lin Danfeng smiled and came up to greet him, warmly hugging Ouyang Xuan.

  "Ouyang!" Zhang Lin also came up quickly and gave Ouyang Xuan a big hug.

  "And what about me? And what about me?" Suddenly, Lin Danhong giggled and leaned over, about to hug Ouyang Xuan.

  Ouyang Xuan was suddenly scared and took three steps back, his face embarrassed as he withdrew his hand, saying: "No no no, I don't dare to, later you'll say I'm taking advantage of you again!"

  A burst of laughter erupted in the room, and 'Feng Ya' even made a face at Ouyang Xuan.

  Lin Dan's face turned red with anger and she pouted her small mouth saying: "Stinky Ouyang, bad Ouyang!" As she spoke, she made a face.

  "Stop messing around, everyone sit down!"

  Everyone sat down and listened quietly to An Qi's words.

  "This time, our Dragon Team has assembled five members to deal with this eight-tailed demon fox, a rare major operation in recent years!" An Qi's face was solemn as he looked at everyone: "The task is very arduous, everyone must have a firm mental preparation!"

  Everyone nodded silently, and everyone knew it would be a fierce battle!

  "Squad leader, this demon fox's hands are stained with blood, for the sake of national stability, we will definitely do our best!" Gentle Zhang Lin was still smiling, but his expression was very firm.

  Lin Dan Feng said seriously, "Although I haven't fought against the demon fox myself, my father has told me about it. The demonic methods of the demon fox clan are not very powerful in terms of killing, but they are all extremely strange and poisonous, mainly used to confuse people's minds. However, this makes them even more difficult to deal with. So everyone must prepare themselves mentally beforehand and absolutely cannot be bewildered! As long as you're not bewildered, the demon fox will have no way out."

  "Uh," Ouyang Xuan nodded with a lingering fear, "Yes, last time if 'Fengren' hadn't appeared in time, I would have already fallen under the spell of the demon fox. Danfeng, Zhang Ge, my and Fengren's abilities are limited against the demon fox, we can only play a supporting role. This time, I'm afraid we'll have to rely on you two more!"

  "All demons and ghosts fear heavenly thunder!" Lin Danfeng said confidently: "Although our heavenly thunder can't be compared to the 'Heavenly Punishment' that occurs once every hundred years, it's enough to make that demon fox drink a pot! However, if everyone works together to attack again, we may still be able to get rid of this detestable demon fox!"

  Right! Everyone's eyes lit up: Tian Lei's method of dealing with monsters and ghosts has never failed!

  "Great!" The 'Wind Blade' spirit was stirred up, and he rubbed his fists together, saying: "This time we must find back our face!"

  Everyone burst out laughing. Ouyang Xuan said with a flourish, "Old Qin, since things can't be rushed, would you please find the general direction of the demon fox? We'll go and kill it!"

  "Good!" Qin Zhan took out the yin-yang eight trigrams plate, then muttered a few sentences in French, and threw out four turtle bones.

  "Clang......" After a crisp sound, the four-sided turtle shell stopped.

  "The master of the divination is in the west, about a hundred miles away from here. The place name seems to have a 'west' character!" Qin Zhan said slowly as he looked at the divination chart.

  "Look at the map!" Anzi pressed a button on his side, and the curtain behind him opened to reveal a huge electronic map.

  Going west for a hundred miles, it seems to be a mountainous area! Ouyang Xuan furrowed his brow and saw a place name with the word "West": West Willow Slope.

  "Found her, let's go!" 'Wind Blade' suddenly stood up, his lazy eyes suddenly became sharp.

  "Wait a minute, I'll send a helicopter to take you there, save your energy!" An Qi stood up: "This time, thank you all!"

  "Yes!" Everyone saluted together.

  In an instant, Ouyang Xuan felt the sacred and heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

  The vast night sky, the dense and lush mountains.

  Suddenly, the roar of an airplane broke the silence of the night. As two beams of snow-white light shone on a flat area between mountains, a huge helicopter slowly descended, its massive rotor blades whipping up a whirlwind that forced the tender grass nearby to bow down involuntarily.

  The helicopter stabilized, and Ou Yang Xuan took the lead and jumped down. Lin Dan Feng, Lin Dan Hong, Zhang Lin, and 'Feng Blade' also followed suit.

  The young helicopter pilot saluted Ou Yang Xuan and his five-man team solemnly, saying loudly: "Good luck to you all!"

  "Don't worry!" The five of them saluted and watched as the helicopter slowly rose into the air and disappeared into the vast night sky.

  The moonlight was bright and clear, but looking at the vast mountains and forests, Ouyang Xuan felt a bit dizzy and sighed: "This Xi Liu Slope seems to be quite large, I only know that the fox demon is hiding here, but with such a big place, how can we find it?"

  Zhang Lin shrugged: "I can only see the hidden demons within my line of sight, beyond that, I'm powerless!"

  "What!?" 'Wind Blade' changed color: "You won't make us search the mountain inch by inch, will you!? By the time we find that fox spirit, we'll be half dead from exhaustion. Will we even have the energy to fight then?!"

  "Haha, a bunch of useless guys, and they're men too!" Lin Dan made a face at the crowd, full of confidence, saying: "Watch me!"

  "Fūjin" couldn't help but sneer: "You!? Are you going or not!?"

  "Die, Wind Blade! You dare mock me? Witness my Heavenly Thunder!" Enraged, Lin Dan raised a Heavenly Thunder Seal and was about to strike.

  "Wind Blade" shouted in fright: "Hey, hey, hey, this joke can't be played, it's going to get someone killed!"

  "Sister, don't be naughty!" Lin Danfeng also panicked and quickly snatched the seal from her sister's hand. He then scolded 'Feng Ya' saying: "What's wrong with you, why provoke her!?"

  "Yes, it's all your fault!" Ou Yang Xuan, who had just calmed down, couldn't help but glare at 'Feng Ya'.

  "Shut up!" Zhang Lin's words were even shorter.

  Everyone burst into a thunderous applause, and 'Wind Blade' immediately looked discomfited. The proud him could only mutter: "Fine, fine, it's all my fault, are you satisfied now?"

  "Hmph!" Lin Dan proudly raised his head, casting a disdainful glance at 'Feng Jian'.

  Ouyang Xuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and thought to himself: This little ancestor, can't afford to offend her. From now on, be more careful, don't get killed by monsters and ghosts, only to end up dying at her hands! He smiled and said: "This, Dan Hong sister, you shouldn't bother with this guy. If you have a way to find the fox demon, help us out just once!"

  "Hehe, Brother Ouyang is still the best!" The little girl's face, which was originally full of anger, suddenly cleared up and she smiled: "Then I'll help you guys out!"

  Saying that, Lin Dan Hong took out a pair of bronze mirrors with the Yin and Yang Eight Trigrams pattern, then took out a peach wood sword, and also a jar of blood-red cinnabar.

  Under the gaze of everyone's astonishment, Lin Danhong used her right hand to apply a little cinnabar on the center of the copper mirror, then adjusted the copper mirror to face the moonlight. A miracle appeared: a pure white moonlight was reflected out by the blood-red center of the copper mirror and shone on the peach wood sword beside it. In an instant, the wooden peach wood sword turned blood red, emitting a bright red glow all over its body.

  "Done!" Lin Dan put away the bronze mirror with a pleased smile, his right hand igniting a symbol that locked onto the Peachwood Sword as he shouted: "Peachwood Pursuit of the Soul, go!"

  "Hum——" The Taomu sword flashed with a blood-red glow, suddenly rising rapidly into the air, followed by a faint whisper, and then flew towards the mountain top.

  "What are you still dazing about? Taomu Sword is taking us to find the demon fox, hurry up and follow!" The little girl complained, put away the copper border and cinnabar, and skipped away.

  Ouyang Xuan and others were like waking up from a dream, hastily taking steps as fast as flying, closely following behind.

  In mid-air, the Taomu sword drew a fiery red trajectory, flying swiftly: through the grassland and forest, over the mountain gullies and ponds, heading deep into Xiliu Slope.

  Soon, everyone was panting and out of breath. After all, this was a mountainous area, and rapid progress was too exhausting.

  "Hey, Dan Hong, sister, why aren't you here yet!" Ouyang Xuan exclaimed in distress.

  Just as they were speaking, suddenly, in mid-air ahead, the Taomu sword emitted a brilliant red glow and let out a faint rumble of thunder.

  "Found it!" Lin Danfeng was overjoyed, taking a few steps forward and sprinting all the way.

  The crowd followed closely behind, and as soon as they crossed a small forest, they saw in the depths of the valley an ancient tomb standing quietly in the night.

  "Hū——" The peach wood sword in mid-air suddenly turned downwards and shot towards the giant tomb like a meteor.

  "Rumble..." The huge tomb's dust and dirt flew everywhere, shattered stones splashed about, and the ground also began to shake violently.

  Everyone hastily stood firm, Lin Danfeng shouted: "The demon fox is hiding in the grave, everyone be careful!"

  Suddenly, a deafening crash burst forth from the hazy dust, and a fiery red golden light rolled out, which was precisely the invading Peachwood Sword.

  Lin Dan Hong hastily waved her hand, and the Peachwood Sword acknowledged its master. In an instant, it flew back into Lin Dan Hong's hands.

  "Hehehe……" Suddenly, the dust and fog that filled the sky seemed to be sucked away by a black hole, disappearing instantly. A delicate young girl with a purple shirt lightly covering her shoulders, a Luo skirt, and bare feet stood on top of an ancient tombstone, smiling gently with a captivating charm.

  It's indeed a fox spirit! Everyone immediately raised their vigilance to 120%.

  Ouyang Xuan's eyes turned red with rage as he glared at his arch-nemesis, and he bellowed: "You demon, the heavens have a vast net that is loose yet never leaks - this time, where can you escape to?"

  "Heh heh heh, you little scoundrel! You still owe me for the last time you hurt me, and now you're back again!? You really are heartless!" The fox spirit shot a charming yet resentful glance at Ouyang Xuan.

  Ouyang Xuan's heart suddenly 'thudded, thudded' wildly, and he quickly calmed down, shouting: "You're about to die, yet you still dare... Everyone, let's go together!"

  One person can't beat you, so gang up!

  Then, the members of the Dragon Group shouted in unison and surrounded the fox demon.
