Mortal Alchemy

In the underground, the divine senses of the cultivators were easily obstructed by various things, and the fifty-plus people immediately dispersed to search.

Chen Ping, however, felt puzzled: "Is the Sky Fox King's earth escape so fast?" Why isn't it called the Earth Fox King?

Even with his earth escape talisman, he couldn't catch up, which made Chen Ping feel that something was wrong.

"Ying Ying!"

The treasure-hunting mink in his sleeve made a sound. A thousand miles was enough for the treasure-hunting mink to return to Chen Ping's sleeve and hide.

Hearing the treasure-hunting mink's reminder, Chen Ping frowned:

"Mink brother, are you saying that what we are chasing is not the Sky Fox King, but a pangolin?"

"Ying!"

"Then where is the Sky Fox King?"

"Ying Ying Ying!" The treasure-hunting mink pointed its paw in the direction Chen Ping came from.

"Substituting a raccoon cat for the prince, this Sky Fox King is so clever!" Chen Ping raised an eyebrow, then smiled mischievously.

He immediately stopped and began to return.

"Huff~" Seeing the human cultivators gone, the snow-white Sky Fox King was still cautious and did not release her illusion, but used a tail-bestowed divine power to heal herself.

"Damn Chen Ping! Don't let this palace catch you, or I will definitely flay you alive!"

This time, not only did she fail to catch Chen Ping and retrieve the Vajra Wrathful Eye Fruit, but she also lost her troops and her horse.

This divine soul injury was not light.

Eight hundred feet away, Chen Ping returned, his divine sense probing, carefully searching for the Sky Fox King's whereabouts.

But in Chen Ping's divine sense, there was nothing: "Mink brother, I didn't find the Sky Fox King's whereabouts."

"Ying Ying!" The treasure-hunting mink raised its small paw and pointed Chen Ping in a direction, so anxious that it was almost speaking human language.

How keen was its nose? Among all the demons, it was unlikely that any other demon's nose was keener than its, otherwise, how dare it be called a treasure-hunting mink?

Chen Ping frowned, and his divine sense searched again. After searching dozens of times, Chen Ping finally discovered a clue:

"These wildflowers don't seem to be native to this area."

Chen Ping smiled mischievously:

"Sky Fox King, I've caught your fox tail!"

This Sky Fox King's illusionary power was truly powerful, not only did Chen Ping suffer a loss, but he was also almost completely overturned.

It would be best to kill this Sky Fox King to eliminate future troubles, lest this Sky Fox King cause any more trouble in the next eight months.

Chen Ping thought for a moment: "It's best to trap her first, and then slowly strangle her, delivering a fatal blow."

Chen Ping didn't know how severe the Sky Fox King's injuries were, and how much strength she had left.

Chen Ping first injected a large amount of spiritual power into the Aurora Sword, and then quietly released it, the Aurora Sword quietly flew towards the Sky Fox King.

"Sword Lotus Formation!"

"Swoosh—"

When the Aurora Sword came within ten feet of the Sky Fox King, it suddenly burst out with cyan lotus leaves, turning into a lotus leaf formation, wrapping the Sky Fox King up.

"Bang bang bang—"

Chen Ping could hear the Sky Fox King violently hitting the sword formation with her tail and claws.

"Heh—"

Fortunately, the Aurora Sword was a third-order sword treasure, otherwise it might not be able to withstand the Sky Fox King's destruction.

The Sky Fox King's angry, childlike voice rang out: "Chen Ping, I will kill you!"

"Hmph!" Chen Ping sneered: "Let me give you a lesson first!"

Mana surged out, and within the sword formation, cyan sword energies burst out vertically and horizontally.

"Bang bang bang—"

Chen Ping's mana was strong and deep. In one breath, he blasted hundreds of swords within the sword formation.

Although it wouldn't severely injure or endanger the Sky Fox King, it did tear the snow-white fur on the Sky Fox King's body to pieces.

Where was the elegance and beauty of the snow-white Sky Fox King now?

At this moment, her fur was tattered, like a stray dog.

The snow-white Sky Fox King went mad:

"You deserve to die! You deserve to die!"

Chen Ping frowned slightly: "It seems that my second-order sword Qi tempered into steel cannot kill her, but now that we have become mortal enemies, it is best to kill her."

Then he could only try using the sword essence.

If even the sword essence couldn't kill this snow-white Sky Fox King, Chen Ping would have no choice but to retreat, find a place to hide for the next eight months, and safely wait for the Changtian Secret Realm to end.

Chen Ping's Dharma Body Sword Manifestation flew out from the top of his head, and then he held his breath and concentrated, merging into a sword essence at the moment the sword formation dissipated.

"Swoosh—"

The snow-white Sky Fox King found an opportunity to escape, but Chen Ping's sword essence was equally fast. The moment she escaped, he swung his sword!

"Chih—"

"Ah—"

The snow-white Sky Fox King was struck by the sword essence and immediately let out a scream. She fell to the ground halfway through her run, and the sword essence did not die, continuously burning and devouring her demon body.

The originally elegant fox body was now black and red, not even as good as a dirty rag.

Even a dead dog was more elegant than she was at this moment.

The Sky Fox King's eyes revealed horror and fear of death. She staggered to her feet, enduring the pain, trying to escape.

Chen Ping held the sword in his right hand, maintaining the state of the sword essence not dying, and punched out with his left hand, hitting the Sky Fox King's body.

"Bang—"

This punch, with tens of thousands of pounds of force, struck the Sky Fox King, leaving her on her last breath, unable to get up again.

Chen Ping's sword tip was across her neck, and the Sky Fox King no longer had the strength to struggle.

This demon king's life was within Chen Ping's reach.

Chen Ping did not kill her immediately.

This Sky Fox King was quite troublesome, but if he took her as a spirit pet, wouldn't she become a great help to him?

This Sky Fox King was much better than that stupid thing, the Crimson-Eyed Tiger King.

Moreover, with the Sky Fox King, Chen Ping might be able to plan for the second fourth-order spiritual medicine in the next eight months.

Chen Ping said: "Sky Fox King, I will now give you two choices, one is to become my spirit pet, and the other is to die!"

"Don't... don't kill me, I am willing to be a spirit pet..." The Sky Fox King weakly opened her eyes, a sly calculation flashing in her eyes.

Chen Ping immediately retracted the sword essence and cast the Sword Lotus Formation again: "Then you wait."

Chen Ping summoned the treasure-hunting mink: "Mink brother, I'll trouble you to make a trip to find Junior Sister Zhou and have her help me exchange for a few spirit pet contracts as quickly as possible."

"Ying Ying!" The treasure-hunting mink called twice and stretched out its small paws to Chen Ping.

Chen Ping tacitly took out the white jade flying boat and let the treasure-hunting mink control the white jade flying boat to find Zhou Ying, so that the speed could be the fastest.

Before signing the spirit pet contract, Chen Ping would not release the Sky Fox King from the sword formation, and he would inflict damage regularly to ensure that the Sky Fox King would not recover her strength and turn on him.

This Sky Fox King was too dangerous. As long as he ensured that the Sky Fox King did not die, as for the injuries, Chen Ping would give a few drops of his blood later, and the Sky Fox King would recover quickly.

...

In the Water Pavilion.

The lake screen did not stay on Chen Ping, but was transferred to other people.

Otherwise, they would have discovered that Chen Ping had a treasure-hunting mink.

"A bunch of idiots, actually treating a pangolin as the Sky Fox King. Use your pig brains and think, would the Sky Fox King burrow into the ground?"

"Then it might as well be renamed Earth Fox!" The Golden Core cultivators of the Demon Subduing Sect were furious.

They felt that although their Foundation Establishment disciples had combat power, they didn't use their brains much, which made them angry.

Out of sight, out of mind, Mirror Sky Taoist switched the screen to other disciples.
