At the third quarter of the hour, the moon was bright and the stars were few.
The capital was already under curfew, but there were still people shuttling back and forth on the official roads and alleys.
The Demon Suppression Division, the Demon Subduing Troop!
Since demons ran amok in this world, there had to be countermeasures.
The Demon Suppression Department was one of the yamen of the imperial court, and it was responsible for subduing demons and capturing demons.
In an alley in the outer city, a man and a woman, two demon subduing guards, were patrolling at night.
"The capital is getting more and more unstable. In the past half a year, there have been frequent riots and many people have gone missing.”
"Yes, there are more than a hundred missing people in and out of the city.”
"There's something even stranger. Today, Prince Consort went crazy in public and said that he wanted to become a monk.”
"The royal family's face has been completely destroyed. The Emperor is furious and orders that we must find the Prince Consort's whereabouts no matter what.”
"Sigh, what an eventful time."
As the two of them were discussing, a wisp of green demonic qi flashed in the direction of the outer city.
"There's demonic qi!"
The honest-looking middle-aged man with a saber on his waist quickly noticed.
The young woman turned the compass in her hand and locked onto the location of the demonic aura."Let's go!"
The two of them ran quickly.
Fifteen minutes later, they stopped outside a blacksmith shop.
He climbed over the wall and entered the room. Through the paper window, he saw a beautiful woman on the bed in the room absorbing essence from the blacksmith's seven orifices.
As the essence energy was drained, the blacksmith's vitality became weaker and weaker.
Eighth-grade fox demon!
"How dare you, fox demon!"
Zhou Xiong pulled out his saber and slashed down.
"Kacha-"
The saber qi shattered the paper window and slashed at the fox demon!
The fox demon, who was enjoying the delicious food, was shocked and hurriedly jumped away. The saber qi left a gully on the wall not far away.
She half-knelt on the ground and sized up the two of them with her flirtatious eyes.
At this moment, the fox demon was only wearing a light purple undergarment. Her snow-white skin and exaggerated curves were completely exposed. Coupled with her unique charm, anyone who looked at her would lose their soul.
Zhou Xiong shook his head repeatedly to keep himself awake. Then, he berated,"Fox demon, I am a demon subduing guard of the Demon Suppression Bureau.”
Hearing this, disdain appeared in the fox demon's eyes.
"Two mere Level Eight Monster Slayer Guards dare to ruin this great aunt's plans, they are courting death!”
Her figure flashed and appeared in front of Zhou Xiong in the blink of an eye. Her jade-like hands suddenly turned into the sharp claws of a beast and tore through the air.
"Clang!"
Zhou Xiong raised his saber to block the attack. The two weapons collided with a metallic sound, and sparks flew everywhere.
Both sides took a few steps back.
"Zhao Zhao, do it!"
Zhou Xiong shouted at the young woman beside him.
"Understood!"
Zhao Zhao flicked her orchid fingers, and a blue light suddenly shot out. It turned into a ten-meter-long rope in the air and wrapped around the fox demon.
There were many cultivators in this world, such as martial artists, spiritual cultivators, Buddhism, Confucianism…
They were divided into nine grades to one grade from low to high.
Zhou Xiong was a Rank-8 martial artist.
As for Zhao Zhao, she was an eighth-grade spirit cultivator.
Spirit cultivators would cultivate a type of spirit art from a young age.
Zhao Zhao's spirit technique was the "spirit rope" in front of him.
The spirit rope bound the fox demon, making it unable to move.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Xiong infused his aura into his saber and slashed with all his might.
By the time the fox demon broke free from the spirit rope, it was already too late to dodge. His entire body floated out under the majestic saber qi.
There was a terrifying wound on her shoulder, and blood gushed out.
"Fox demon!"
"We are both Rank-8s, but there are two of us. You are no match for us!" Zhou Xiong pointed his saber at her.
It's better to be honest and follow us back to the Demon Suppression Bureau!”
The fox demon did not respond. Instead, it spat out a mouthful of fog from its mouth and broke out of the window to escape outside the courtyard.
"Trying to run?"
Zhou Xiong and the other followed closely behind.
However, when they came out, they realized that the fox demon had not gone far. Instead, it was standing in an empty place, opening its arms to the night sky.
"What is she doing?"
Zhao Zhao was puzzled.
A full moon hung high in the night sky. Wisps of white light drifted down and were drawn into the fox demon's body.
"Not good!"
Zhou Xiong frowned." She's drawing in the moonlight essence. Stop her!"”
The Moon Fox Clan had a special ability that allowed them to absorb the essence of the moonlight on a full moon night and burn their blood essence to greatly increase their cultivation in a short period of time.
Zhou Xiong pounced like a ferocious tiger, but it was too late.
The fox demon's body emitted a blood-red baleful aura. Its claws continued to extend, turning into steel sabers that flickered with a cold light.
She suddenly turned around and swung her claws down.
"Clang!"
The claw and the blade collided again.
But this time, it was no longer a tie. Zhou Xiong felt as if he had been hit by a cannonball. He was sent flying backward and landed heavily on the ground.
His right arm was trembling non-stop, and his bones were shattered. Blood was flowing out of his thumb and forefinger!
At the same time, Zhao Zhao held the spirit rope in her hand and used it as a whip.
However, the fox demon's speed had doubled, and only its afterimages could be seen. It was impossible to capture it.
In less than ten minutes, the fox demon found an opportunity to get close to her, and its claws left bloody marks on her body.
Rank-7!
Zhou Xiong's heart turned cold when he saw this scene.
The fox demon had been absorbing people's vital essence continuously during this period of time. In addition to the moon essence just now, it was probably at the seventh grade!
"Tsk-"
Another heavy claw landed on a locust tree trunk. Zhao Zhao spat out blood and almost fainted.
"Zhaozhao, you go first!"
"I'll stay behind and cover the rear!" Zhou Xiong stood with his saber and gritted his teeth.”
"No…"
Zhao Zhao shook her head, unwilling to leave her companions behind.
" Go back to the Demon Suppression Bureau and ask for reinforcements," Zhou Xiong said in a deep voice." Otherwise, we'll all die here…"
Before he could finish speaking, the fox demon's sharp claws had already pierced through his abdomen.
"Uh-huh…"
The fox demon smiled charmingly and said coldly,"How touching, but none of you can leave today!”
She pulled out her sharp claws, and Zhou Xiong slipped weakly, his robe dyed red with blood.
" It looks like we're really going to die here today…"
Zhou Xiong was in despair.
Just as the fox demon was about to take their lives, a song suddenly sounded from not far away.
"My shoes are torn, my hat is torn, my kasaya is torn…"
