Chapter 620: Wolf Appears

“Whether you are the incarnation of the Corpse Fiend or not, only one of us can survive.” Han Li said expressionlessly. Without further hesitation, he pointed a finger at the flying swords before him. The green sword curtain surged, transforming into a vast expanse of green mist that swept towards the fox demon in a corner of the stone chamber with overwhelming force, like a mountain descending.

Upon seeing Han Li’s flying sword attack, the young woman’s expression brightened with joy rather than alarm.

She extended a pink tongue to lick her luscious crimson lips, then let out a soul-stirring laugh as her figure vanished in a flash of white light.

The green mist swept through empty space, striking the azure stone wall and emitting a harsh clanging sound.

Han Li frowned, quickly scanning with his divine sense, but found no trace of the fox demon.

Her concealment technique was indeed far superior to his.

However, Han Li’s expression remained unchanged. Instead, he let out a cold snort, then slapped his storage pouch with one hand, and a small silver bell appeared in his grasp.

“Go!” he uttered a low command.

The small bell flashed with light, transforming into a silver streak that flew a few feet above his head before reappearing.

Without a moment’s delay, Han Li formed a hand seal with one hand and opened his mouth, spitting a ball of green energy onto the small bell.

Immediately, the ancient treasure, radiating silver light, emitted a loud “clang.”

The chamber was already an enclosed space, which inadvertently increased the silver bell’s sonic attack power by nearly half.

Instantly, the entire azure stone chamber buzzed with echoing sounds. And suddenly, about five or six zhang away from Han Li, space rippled.

Then, in a flash of white light, the alluring young woman reappeared, swaying unsteadily.

While overjoyed, Han Li also harbored a hidden doubt. This fox demon seemed about thirty percent weaker than an ordinary seventh-level demon beast. Could it be that because the Corpse Fiend was injured, even this so-called incarnation’s cultivation had significantly decreased?

Thinking this, he didn’t hesitate, flicking his finger. Five streaks of green sword energy shot out instantly, disappearing as they went.

The foot-long green rays instantly pierced various parts of the alluring young woman’s body.

The young woman shrieked, then toppled to the ground. Beneath her snow-white body, bright red blood pooled.

Such an easy victory, however, made Han Li pause in surprise.

As he was still hesitating, the jade Ruyi scepter in his hand suddenly grew hot. Then, a brilliant red light erupted from his body, and a reddish glow shield spontaneously appeared around him.

Almost simultaneously, from a seemingly empty spot some distance away, several slender silver threads shot out of thin air, striking the unexpectedly appeared glow shield and being perfectly blocked.

“Eh!”

“Ah!”

Two surprised exclamations rang out simultaneously.

Startled, Han Li immediately reacted. He opened his mouth, and a streak of green light shot towards the origin of the silver threads.

From that spot came a soul-stirring giggle. With a flash of white, the alluring young woman reappeared in another part of the stone chamber, lightly pressing her chest.

Han Li’s expression turned extremely grim. He turned to look at the spot where the young woman had supposedly fallen, injured. However, it was empty; there was no one there!

“Illusion!” Han Li muttered, his lips dry, his heart sinking.

The young woman smiled, not answering Han Li’s question. Instead, her bright eyes glinted, fixing on the small yellow wolf crouching beside Han Li. A hint of surprise appeared on her face.

Seeing the young woman’s expression, Han Li’s heart stirred. He also turned his head to look at the little wolf, then lowered his gaze to the wolf-headed jade Ruyi in his hand. His expression became uncertain.

The fire-attribute glow shield that had just blocked the fox demon’s strange attack had not been activated by him through the jade Ruyi scepter.

Could it be that the artifact spirit within had spontaneously cast the spell to save him? Recalling the mystery of the silver giant wolf and the two red and yellow wolves within this treasure, Han Li felt a sense of unease.

As the young woman gracefully swayed her snow-white, slender waist, about to speak, the jade Ruyi scepter in Han Li’s hand suddenly flashed. A red light shot out from it, and the small wolf, previously crouching on the ground, silently leaped, also transforming into a yellow light and shooting towards the red light.

Seeing this, Han Li’s expression subtly changed. But clutching the jade Ruyi scepter in his hand, he still refrained from acting rashly.

As he expected, the red and yellow lights converged, erupting into a silver halo.

Within the halo, a silver giant wolf appeared, floating about a zhang (roughly 3 meters) tall in the air, its eyes gleaming with excitement as it stared intently at the fox demon opposite.

Although the alluring young woman didn’t know the silver wolf’s origin, for some reason, the moment it appeared, her heart sank, and she had an ominous premonition. Even the seductive expression on her face involuntarily froze under the giant wolf’s gaze.

But she immediately realized her lapse. With a raised eyebrow, her expression slightly darkened, and a large expanse of pink, fragrant mist spewed from her lips, instantly concealing her figure and making her disappear without a trace.

The pink mist rapidly spread, quickly enveloping most of the stone chamber. Although Han Li didn’t know the true nature of this pink mist, he naturally dared not inhale even a wisp. His face chilling, he immediately reached for his waist, and a spirit beast pouch appeared in his hand.

No matter how formidable the fox demon’s concealment technique was, he didn’t believe she could evade the siege of thousands upon thousands of Gold Devouring Beetles.

Just as Han Li raised the spirit beast pouch in his hand, intending to summon the Gold Devouring Beetles, the silver wolf floating before him made a move that astonished him.

The wolf suddenly opened its mouth, and silver light burst forth. Countless fist-sized silver orbs surged out, all flying towards a specific spot within the mist. Then, the silver wolf let out a low howl, suddenly transforming into a silver rainbow and charging forward.

This greatly surprised Han Li, causing his motion to summon the Gold Devouring Beetles to involuntarily slow down.

At this moment, “thudding” sounds rang out successively. As the silver orbs flew into the mist, they automatically burst open.

Silver light and pink mist intertwined, and simultaneously, the fox demon’s startled and angry groan emanated from within.

The silver rainbow formed by the giant wolf then plunged into the mist as well.

“What are you doing? Impossible! You are... No...” The fox demon seemed to have witnessed something incredible, letting out a terrified shriek amidst a flurry of incoherent words.

In a blink of an eye, the fox demon’s shrill cries abruptly ceased.

Hearing these sounds, Han Li’s expression subtly changed, and his eyes, fixed on the mist, narrowed slightly.

Fortunately, the pink mist seemed to have lost its spiritual energy’s guidance, and it gradually dispersed after a short while, revealing the situation within.

Han Li’s expression drastically changed as he saw what was revealed.

The alluring young woman, an incarnation of the fox demon, lay trembling on the ground. Pink and silver lights simultaneously flickered on her body, each occupying one half, and at their boundary, the two lights intertwined as if vying for control.

“Soul possession!” Han Li gasped, exclaiming aloud.

As he stood there in shock and uncertainty, the silver light had already begun to gain the upper hand, forcing the pink light to retreat steadily.

“No!” The young woman suddenly clutched her head with both hands, letting out a scream of extreme agony.

Then, her voluptuous body convulsed and began to shrink and deform in a flash of white light. Soon, the woman reverted to her small, exquisite true form: a white fox.

At this moment, the last trace of pink light, located at the fox’s tail, was completely consumed by the silver light. Simultaneously, her astonishing cultivation vanished without a trace, and she reverted to a low-level demon beast.

The white fox lay motionless on the ground, seemingly utterly exhausted, but the silver light on its body became even more dazzling.

Han Li gripped the jade Ruyi scepter tightly, a hint of hesitation appearing on his face.

Clearly, the silver wolf had just succeeded in its soul possession. He was unsure whether to immediately subdue it or quietly await the silver wolf’s next move.

After a long moment, Han Li finally sighed.

In any case, the white fox’s cultivation had now fallen to a level where it was no longer a threat.

This way, he didn’t need to resort to harsh measures immediately.

Moreover, judging from how the silver wolf had just intervened to block the attack, it didn’t seem to harbor any ill will towards him.

Naturally, Han Li wanted to know the silver wolf’s true origin. He had never heard of an artifact spirit being able to act independently.

This silver wolf was clearly a creature of great origin, just as he had previously suspected.

As Han Li pondered, his expression fluctuating between uncertainty and contemplation,

The silver light on the white fox’s body dimmed, and it finally stood up on all fours, albeit shakily.

It seemed somewhat unaccustomed to this fox body, taking a few steps before its front legs gave way, causing it to kneel.

Seeing this, Han Li couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

Hearing the chuckle, the white fox raised its head and looked at Han Li, a hint of annoyance in its eyes.

“What’s so funny? It’s only natural to be a bit unaccustomed to a newly possessed body.” A faint female voice suddenly sounded in Han Li’s ear.

Hearing this voice, Han Li’s smile froze.

“You’re... also a woman?” Han Li mumbled, letting out a soft breath after touching his nose.
