Sikong Changlie’s face was ashen. Facing the killing intent that was soaring inside the array, he was almost frozen with fear. His hands hanging on the side trembled slightly, and he lost the courage to continue fighting.

Drops of sweat rolled down on Sikong Changlie’s jaw and fell on a piece of red-blood jade he wore on his lapel. “You…” His teeth knocked with each other, and his voice was so hoarse that he was almost unable to speak.

“Young master!” The two special guards stepped forward and whispered: “Let’s kill her! It’s just a small Foundation Establishment….”

“Shut up!” Sikong Changlie shouted tremblingly. He stared at the young human girl with shock and fear. The red fox clan’s ancestor slaughtered by the Four Poles Great Array was the direct ancestor of Sikong Changlie’s family. Therefore, he grew up listening to the legend of the Four Poles Great Array. In addition, for thousands of years, the white tiger clan has been dominating the Demon Realm and producing successive Star Monarchs. Since childhood, his father’s story deeply planted the fear towards the Four Poles Great Array into his bone.

“Young master.” Sikong Changlie’s head and deputy guards also took a step closer and whispered: “What should we do?”

The killing intent now had enveloped the whole space. None of Sikong Changlie’s subordinates was spared. They felt an indescribable chill that dissipated their fighting spirit. Uncontrollable fear began to emerge from their limbs, seeping into the deepest part of their heart.

“Ki-killing formation…” Sikong Changlie’s lips trembled, “Only that person…”

He stared at Meng Qi incredulously. The girl in the blue clothes stood just outside the arrays. Her long black hair was tied up by a wooden hairpin, and her finger was pointing up to the sky. A layer of starlight enveloped her body gently. Her small and beautiful face was as cold as frost. Her eyes were like a snow-capped mountain and frozen lakes, extremely cold.

“I…” Sikong Changlie never imagined that one day, a small human cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage could make him feel such extreme danger and fear. So much that he didn’t even dare to move. “We…” He stared at Meng Qi’s raised hand. Once she waved it down, they would…

Meng Qi’s gaze suddenly swept over the forest behind Sikong Changlie’s group. She commanded: “Now!”

“Eh?” The red foxes were stupefied. Before they could react, a blazing flame suddenly rose from the ground below their feet. The terrifying killing intent was still permeating their bones, and the extreme chilliness they felt was suddenly replaced by a burning hot.

“Aaaahhhh!!!!” Loud screams reverberated. Ordinary red foxes who followed Sikong Changlie here were generally third-rank demon cultivators. After being attacked by the Four Poles Great Array, they didn’t have any strength left to avoid the flame. Their clothes and hair were burned in an instant, and they fell to the ground with a loud scream.

Amidst the burning flame, Chu Tianfeng jumped down from a big tree on the edge of the forest. A flaming red lotus floated above the black-robed youth. Its petals were shaking, radiating a burning aura into the air.

With a gesture of Chu Tianfeng’s finger, the lotus flew over the open space. “One! Step! Lotus! Bloom!” The young man’s cold voice slowly enunciated. With each of his words, the lotus flew towards a certain direction, producing dozens of other lotuses in its wake. When the last word was recited, countless red lotuses filled the space.

“Open!” Chu Tianfeng snapped his fingers. With a loud ‘bang!’, all the floating red lotuses opened their petals. The flames on the ground were instantly magnified several folds, sweeping all the red fox demons inside the arrays.
