Chapter 1014: The Fox Demon's True Face
In the astonished eyes of the crowd, Zhang Xiaoshan began to explain.
"What you see before you now is a Fox Demon who has been cultivating for years. By a stroke of luck, it absorbed some fire attribute energy, so it carries fire-based spells with it."
"It must have ingested some flame crystals or some kind of Spiritual Medicine, causing its body to be filled with fire elements. Anywhere it goes feels like a blazing sun. The reason this icy snow area melted overnight is due to the presence of this fire fox."
"As long as we slay it, all problems can be easily solved."
After hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's explanation, the crowd was greatly astonished.
Each one showed expressions of wonder and shock.
Clearly, what Zhang Xiaoshan said seemed like a heavenly legend to them, inconceivable.
"Is there really such a formidable Fox Demon?"
"This young man's means are godlike; it doesn't seem like he's lying. Besides, we did witness the fox's blood melting marble with our own eyes."
"I believe he's telling the truth."
More and more people started to believe and support Zhang Xiaoshan.
At the moment, Bai Yong saw Zhang Xiaoshan as a straw to clutch at for his future, determined to hold onto it tight.
"Immortal Master, we plead for you to act and completely slay this fire fox to save the area."
Bai Yong led the plea, and a group of staff urgently echoed.
"Boy, dare you, if you dare to kill my pet, I'll crush you to dust on the spot."
Master Bai Yun gritted his teeth staring at Zhang Xiaoshan, fury practically shooting from his eyes.
"Pet?"
"Is that Master Bai Yun's pet?"
"What does that mean? Could it be this fire fox indeed has some connection with Master Bai Yun?"
Doubtful and probing glances fell upon Master Bai Yun.
Kneeling on the ground, Academician Qian, somewhat anxious and uneasy, humbly asked Master Bai Yun.
"Master, this fire fox caused the icy area to be destroyed, heavily sinful, how could it be your pet?"
"Are you perhaps confused out of anger by this kid, speaking nonsense?"
"Fool."
Zhang Xiaoshan could no longer stand it, unwilling to waste more time, he bluntly pierced the lie, directly speaking.
"At this moment, why are you still so foolish? Can't you see that the real culprit behind the unlocking of this icy area is Master Bai Yun, and this fire fox was sent here by him to cause trouble?"
"The aim is to extort a huge wealth from your Fengtian Development Corporation."
"This is all a scam, a trap; every one of you is a pawn, calculated within it, do you understand?"
"What?"
Zhang Xiaoshan's words deeply impacted the crowd.
"Is it really like this?"
The crowd looked at Master Bai Yun in disbelief.
After all, his fame was too great, and he appeared as an upright sage, a worldly wise man, who would have thought he turned out to be a big liar.
If this is true, what a staggering calamity it is.
They were reluctant to believe it was true, but it seemed to be the only explanation they couldn't help but believe.
"Damn it."
At this point, Master Bai Yun could no longer conceal the truth.
He looked fiercely at Zhang Xiaoshan and spoke maliciously.
"Bastard, I've planned so long, so perfectly, never imagining a Cheng Yaojin would emerge halfway, ruining my well-laid plans at the hands of a green, unworldly youth like you."
"Deep hatred and enmity, if I don't kill you today, I swear not to be human."
As he spoke, Master Bai Yun grabbed at his chest.
Sizzling!
With a fierce tear, not only the robes but even his human skin was ripped apart.
Soon, a new appearance was revealed.
Standing at about 1.6 meters, able to walk upright, but its limbs were claws, with sharp nails like daggers, and its neck bore not a human head, but a fox's head, its body covered in white spears.
It seemed like a fox evolving towards a human, yet imperfectly evolved.
Half-human, half-demon.
"Ah, Fox Demon, it really is a Fox Demon."
"Save us."
People who saw the real appearance of Master Bai Yun were instantly scared, scattering and screaming wildly.
"Is this a human or a fox?"
Being a seasoned journalist, Bai Shutong could no longer contain her excitement and curiosity, boldly pulling out her camera to take photos.
"Originally..."
That white fox spoke human words, its tone fierce, saying.
"Originally, I only wanted you to set up a living shrine for me today, burn incense, and pray for me, to help me fully transform into human form soon, that's all. But it's come to this, you've seen my true form, none of this can be spread, or my hundreds of years of effort will be in vain."
"So, today, all of you here must die, I need to eat your hearts."
Upon hearing this, the group was terrified out of their wits.
Whether it was the dignified Academician Qian or the city's leader Bai Yong, they each knelt on the ground, praying repeatedly to Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Immortal Master, save us, please save us."
"Today our lives depend on you."
Beside them, Bai Shutong, having taken her photos, spoke to Zhang Xiaoshan with a worried and concerned face.
"Little Shan, this matter is too strange. I previously only heard of such things as spirit practices and Fox Fairies in the Northeast; this is the first I've seen. You are skilled in martial arts, but you are still human, how can you fight a monster? Never mind, if you can protect yourself, why not leave alone?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan chuckled.
"Humans cannot fight monsters, but I am a god."
Then, he flicked his hand.
"Swoosh."
A green flash appeared, hurtling at lightning speed toward the fire fox, barely clinging to life, wedged in a wall indentation.
