Chapter 855: The Escaping Immortal Fox

What an unexpected discovery this was!

These two swords can actually merge?

Aren’t you supposed to have reproductive isolation? How does that even work?

Truly, it’s like letting a little cow set off firecrackers—absolutely explosive!

Regardless, this is a good thing; they merged, making it all the more convenient to wield.

However, it wasn’t as easy as Lin Nuo had anticipated. He thought the Phoenix Sword simply existed within the “Demon Sword” without affecting their functionalities.

But that wasn’t the case at all.

These two swords had truly fused!

With a burst of blinding light, a radiance obscured Lin Nuo’s vision, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

Typically, in this kind of situation, something major is about to happen. It’s the kind of scene you see in dramas or anime—a flash of white light, followed by a transformation and a big event.

And indeed, something did happen.

Once these two swords came together, they transformed into an entirely new sword.

This sword was impressive, merging the two into one, the Dragon-Phoenix Sword—its surface adorned with swirling patterns of dragon and phoenix, exuding a powerful aura. Just gazing at those designs, you could almost feel the two fierce divine beasts coming to life, truly lifelike!

Yet, while this thing had presence, it looked rather odd.

After all, the exterior color of the sword—a blend of white and blue—had none of the demonic style one would expect from a Demon Sword. The original “Demon Sword” had at least a hint of that vibe, but now, it was completely integrated.

It was more akin to a sword wielded by a sword immortal or some high-level expert, grand in presence and awe-inspiring.

How could a mere Demon Ruler be using such a sword in such a muddled way?

It didn’t have a shred of the flair that a Demon Ruler should possess!

But right now, there was no sword to use, and it would be difficult to forge another one like this.

Damn it, it’s all that damn Master’s fault—what kind of sword did he forge? My huge Demon Sword just vanished!

Lin Nuo could only make do with this one, but now there was a big problem—how to separate them?

That touched upon his knowledge gap; they fused haphazardly into this sword, but he couldn’t separate them, which was just awkward.

If Su Kexin found out, she’d probably laugh herself to death—such humiliation! She could complete this task with ease, truly at her whim.

Is this the gap between the villain and the protagonist?

Lin Nuo gripped the fused sword, feeling a surge of power within. It was indeed much stronger than before—lightweight yet powerful, and highly agile when channeling spiritual energy, just right.

But what about the Sword Soul?

With the long sword in hand, Lin Nuo swung down suddenly, channeling his spiritual energy into the sword, and quickly unleashed the Sword Soul.

This Sword Soul was rather impressive; it executed the dragon and phoenix in tandem, rushing forward with remarkable speed, accompanied by a powerful whirlwind. The dragon and phoenix soared, seemingly roaring at each other, yet perfectly aligned, assisting Lin Nuo in fending off enemies with their combined might.

Lin Nuo raised his palm to shield his eyes from the sun, looking up at the sky.

Pretty impressive.

But it was a pity that you guys didn’t give off any demonic vibes at all; saying you were sword immortals would be more accurate.

At that moment, the Sword Saint was drawn over by the two Sword Souls, approaching Lin Nuo. He looked up and said淡淡说道, “To wield the Dragon-Phoenix Dual Soul requires truly bizarre strength. Are you planning to use this against the demonic path?”

“Don’t bother me with that!” Lin Nuo retorted, immediately retracting the Dragon-Phoenix Dual Soul.

With that retraction came a strong wind, whipping up a thousand fallen leaves from the ground.

Not a hint of the Demon Ruler’s style, yet the Sword Saint had the audacity to label him as opposing the demonic path.

“You, being the Sword Saint, have you ever tried merging two swords together?” Lin Nuo asked.

“No, I have no need,” the Sword Saint replied coldly.

“Forget it.”

Lin Nuo was too lazy to continue the conversation and walked away, leading the fox clan towards their destination.

Yet he did ask the Sword Saint a question; after all, he didn’t possess omniscience.

“Have you ever been to Zifeng Valley?” Lin Nuo inquired.

“I have.”

“Could you bring someone back with you?” Lin Nuo pressed on.

“I won’t set foot there,” the Sword Saint replied frostily.

“Forget it; relying on you is pointless.”

Lin Nuo mused that it appeared he had no choice but to charge into Zifeng Valley himself and take Ruo’er away, accompanying it with a declaration:

“I’m taking her away today. Let’s see who dares to stop me.”

How domineering.

Oh, no, making that kind of statement? That didn’t end well for someone else back in the day…

In any case, there would be a way; no going back now.

……

Meanwhile, in Hansheng Valley, Ruo’er felt increasingly lonely. She wanted to avoid the immortal beasts and immortals there; otherwise, they would mock and ostracize her. She just needed a quiet place to hide.

According to Crane Immortal, the Immortal Foxes left on their own, but judging from the reactions of other immortal beasts and immortals, they didn’t seem to like the Immortal Foxes.

This meant there must be some hidden truth in it.

Now she couldn’t stay in the celestial palace any longer; she had to step out for a while, find a secluded spot, but she couldn’t wander too far lest Dong Xiyan wouldn’t be able to find her.

At last, she found a place to sit, leaning against a large tree, hugging her knees and deep in thought.

As soon as she sat down, she missed Lin Nuo and the young master she loved most. She felt uneasy here with these immortals. Suddenly, she didn’t want to cultivate anymore; it would be great to just return and be the young master’s maid, where she could sleep together with him.

When in Zifeng Valley, she could only sleep alone each night. Daily training was all she had. Even though she could communicate with the immortal beasts, they provided companionship, it still felt like something was missing.

While Ruo’er sat there, suddenly she heard shouting not far away.

“They’re running away! Hurry, catch them!”

Things suddenly turned chaotic. She sensed something was off; after all, Hansheng Valley was a place for immortals, typically not prone to major disturbances.

But disturbances could happen—just like in Zifeng Valley, where last time a big event nearly harmed all those immortals!

Could it be that another major event was unfolding?

She felt it was definitely something important. Being alone was not a good idea. She quickly decided to return to find Dong Xiyan.

However, as she planned to head back, she saw some Immortal Foxes, their limbs bound by shackles, and blood on their bodies.

Among them was a white fox like herself, injured and escaping, but a host of immortal beasts and immortals were pursuing them.

What is going on…?

Ruo’er felt a pang of anxiety, but she didn’t know the details and was hesitant to approach for fear of getting caught up in trouble.

But as soon as she stepped out, she was spotted by other immortal beasts and immortals.

They immediately shouted, “There’s another one! Catch her first!”

Then several immortals were headed straight for Ruo’er. It seemed they wanted to catch her.

Ruo’er panicked suddenly. What’s going on? Why are they all after her?

The escaping white fox saw Ruo’er and rushed over, shouting, “Little sister, hurry, come with us! Don’t stay here!”

“Ah… what…?”

Ruo’er was momentarily taken aback, feeling lost, and unconsciously felt immortal beasts and immortals closing in, ready to cast spells to capture her.

But the white fox girl surged forward, breaking through their magic and providing Ruo’er a way out.
