Abyss Walker

Chapter 12 The Remnant Soul of the Ringwraith

However, Hu Tianxing's reaction was even more unexpected.

His figure vanished like a wisp of smoke at the critical moment, and with a flash of white light, he appeared behind the man in black.

His movements were fluid and natural, as if he had anticipated the Blue Demon's attack. His evasions were effortless, like a gust of wind in nature, elusive and unpredictable.

In Hu Tianxing's hand, he held only an ordinary tree branch, but in his hand, the tree branch seemed to have transformed into a sharp sword.

With a slight twist of his wrist, the branch traced a graceful arc, simple and direct, yet containing endless variations and deadly intent.

Although the tip of a tree branch is not as sharp as a real sword, it is enough to be fatal in the hands of Fox Skywalker.

Each swing of his arm produced a whooshing sound, as if the air around the branches was being sliced ​​apart, forming tiny vortexes of airflow.

A hint of surprise flashed in Qing Gui's eyes. He had clearly not expected Hu Tianxing to have such a swift reaction and superb movement skills.

His attack missed, and Hu Tianxing had seized the initiative in the battle.

A trail of blood appeared on the ground, and Hu Tianxing couldn't help but sneer, "Is this the strength that makes you dare to be so arrogant in my fox clan?"

The standoff between Qinggui and Hu Tianxing was like the calm before a storm, the air thick with a sense of oppression and tension.

The two stood there, silent, yet the atmosphere between them was like a taut bowstring, ready to erupt into a fierce conflict at any moment.

The blue demon's figure appeared even more sinister in the dim light. His black clothes seemed to blend into the surrounding night, and only his eyes, which gleamed coldly through his mask, revealed his presence.

His posture was relaxed and confident, as if he had already taken control of the situation. His gaze was fixed on Hu Tianxing, as if he was looking for the best time to attack.

Fox Tianxing stood firm like a mountain, his eyes resolute and profound, revealing the pride and indomitable spirit of the fox clan.

Although his body remained still, he exuded a powerful aura, the majesty unique to a powerful fox clan member.

His gaze was also fixed on the man in black; he knew in his heart that the opponent before him was not to be underestimated.

The air between the two seemed to grow heavy due to their tense standoff. Everything around them seemed to be affected by this atmosphere; even the wind stopped blowing and the leaves ceased rustling.

The Green Demon broke the silence, laughing loudly, "Is that so? Fox Heavenly Star, several years ago, I could fight you to a draw. And in these past few years, I have continuously improved, as for you... hehe!"

Fox Heaven asked in confusion, "What have I done to offend you that has made you my enemy?"

Do you remember... Mount Kunlun?

"Kunlun Mountain? That great battle? We didn't get what we needed, so how could we have offended them?" Hu Tianxing asked, even more puzzled.

"Because... only you could have destroyed Kunlun Mountain, and only you have that ability."

"...The Kunlun Mountains were not created by me."

"The day Kunlun Mountain is destroyed will also be the day you perish, and at this scene..." The Green Ghost took out a hair. "You say it wasn't you? Then how do you explain this?"

"..."

Hu Tianxing hesitated for a moment, then gave up resisting: "It was indeed me who did it."

The Blue Demon extended his withered right hand from beneath his cloak and struck down with his palm, instantly killing the grandmaster without leaving a trace of his life...

“Take this place flat and build a branch of the Chain Demon Hall.”

"Yes, sir, Blue Demon."

——Somewhere in the world——

A group of foxes fell from the sky...

"No, Father."

"Our deepest condolences, clan leader. Our most important task now is to become strong as soon as possible and avenge our old clan leader."

"How can you be so sure that guy can kill the old patriarch? The old patriarch is a Divine Realm expert." The voice belonged to Fox Forging.

A young fox clan member approached the clan leader and said, "Clan leader, I am so useless. I have decided to leave the clan and strive to become stronger. If I can come back to life, I will definitely lead the clan out of the mountains."

At the same time, he looked at the clan leader with a determined gaze.

Fox Jin, his face haggard, said, "Fox Jiu, there's no need for this, clan..."

Before he could finish speaking, the young man in light yellow clothes flew away on his sword.

Fox Crazy Nine said with a face full of relief: "Hahaha, this is the good son I have. You are good for facing death and living. Let your father go with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a white light flashed, and Fox Madman Nine vanished from his spot in an instant.

"Heh, these two are really alike. Is it really okay to let them leave like this?" Fox Duan turned to look at the clan leader, Fox Jin.

"Let them go. As for us, we'll just settle down here!" Fox Jin sighed helplessly.

"Hurry up, everyone! It's getting dark soon. I'm going to scout the area," Fox Shi said and flew off. The entire fox clan immediately sprang into action.

"Fox Forging, you go too! I'm fine here."

"Yes, I guarantee that there will be no more threats to our people in this area."

However, this was completely unnecessary, as there were no aggressive creatures nearby. It was a treasure land personally chosen by Hu Tianxing, whose body had long since died.

The fox clan's territory instantly erupted into a bustling and busy scene.

On the once empty land, countless figures moved back and forth, carrying timber, mixing mud, or laying bricks and stones. Everyone was doing their job and busy with great enthusiasm.

Accompanied by a series of clanging and shouting sounds, uniquely designed and beautiful houses sprang up rapidly like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Some of these houses are small and exquisite, like delicate works of art; others are tall and magnificent, with an imposing presence like a palace.

Their roofs feature a unique design, resembling slightly upturned fox ears, giving them a playful and adorable appearance; while the walls are painted in vibrant colors, shimmering with a captivating glow under the sunlight.

A closer look reveals that Fox King, the clan leader, is among them.

at the same time...

Fox Jiu's figure was like a streak of light. He flew at an extremely fast speed on his sword. The sword light flashed brightly under his feet, cutting through the air and leaving behind a series of afterimages.

His hair flew backward at high speed, his clothes fluttered in the wind, his eyes were firm, and he was focused on controlling his flying sword, trying to shake off his pursuers.

Fox Phantom Nine's figure flashed by like a ghost, his speed was equally astonishing, each step seemed to traverse space, closely following behind Fox Nine.

His figure left blurry trails in the air, a testament to his powerful cultivation and mastery of speed.

Suddenly, a figure seemed to tear out of the void and instantly appeared in front of Hu Jiu and Hu Dianjiu.

The figure appeared without warning, and his speed even surpassed that of Fox Long's sword flight, making him difficult to catch.

His figure was like a black lightning bolt, tearing through the boundaries of space, carrying a powerful aura that directly forced Hu Jiu and Hu Dianjiu to a stop.

Hu Jiu and Hu Dianjiu sensed the powerful aura that suddenly appeared ahead, and their bodies reacted almost instinctively.

Just as Hu Jiu's flying sword was about to collide with that figure, it suddenly made a sharp turn, the sword light drawing a beautiful arc, forcibly changing its flight trajectory.

Just as Fox Crazy Nine was about to collide with that figure, his body suddenly stopped. It was as if an invisible force arose beneath his feet, instantly slowing his speed down and finally bringing him to a steady stop in mid-air.

The figure stood before them, tall and mysterious, his presence seemingly capable of distorting the surrounding space. His eyes were deep and cold, as if they could see through everything.

"What is the meaning behind this senior's actions?"

Fox Madman laughed loudly: "Hahaha, young friend, what do you mean by this?"

The man in black spoke coldly: "Do you know where there are orcs?"

Fox Jiu asked, his face full of questions, "What is a half-orc?"

Fox Demon Nine sensed the strength of the man in black before him; he was even stronger than the old clan leader. "Sunset Forest!"

"Sunset Forest? Where is that?"

"Hahaha, you don't know about the Sunset Forest? Besides the Sunset Forest west of the entire Demon Continent, there could be another Sunset Forest, hahaha."

The man in black ignored his rudeness and vanished instantly after hearing his words, his face covered by a terrifying mask.

Only a strange plume of black smoke remained...

"Father, he's terrifying! What level of power is that?" Hu Jiu exclaimed involuntarily.

"Hahaha, what an interesting fellow! Isn't this the opponent I've been looking for?" After saying that, Fox Mad Nine immediately flashed off and chased after him.

"Father..." Hu Jiu began to doubt again whether he was really his child. Why were their personalities so different? He was mature and steady, while his father was crazy and wanted to die.

"That's enough, I will remember my father forever..."

"When I return strong, I will surely impress you all. I will be able to avenge my father. And that guy who took Xi Ling away, if I ever see him again... I will crush him under my feet."

Fox Demon Nine, who had been darting away in pursuit, yelled, "Hahaha, kid, you stop right there!"
