The Aloof Immortal Venerable is Pregnant with My Fox Cub - Chapter 19

Chapter 19

The Demon Hall Master had secretly received orders from the Demon Venerable, bringing heavy gifts to celebrate Great Demon King Lone-Armed Ape’s three-thousandth birthday, seeking an opportunity for cooperation between demons and devils to severely damage the Five Great Immortal Sects.

Since the date of Lone-Armed Ape’s birthday had not yet arrived, the demon cultivator had been staying in Luofeng City for several days. It was here that he encountered the Exalted Immortal Qingxuan, who had once severely wounded the Demon Venerable.

If Exalted Immortal Qingxuan hadn’t unexpectedly broken through to the Mahayana stage when the Demon Venerable meticulously set up an inescapable deadly trap, she would not have been able to save numerous Immortal Sect disciples, even at the cost of her own self-sacrifice to the Dao.

Everyone believed Exalted Immortal Qingxuan had perished. Who would have known that the foremost figure of the righteous immortal path, still immaculate and graceful, chose not to return to the sect to heal but appeared in the human-demon mixed Luofeng City?

As long as Exalted Immortal Qingxuan could be killed, the major Immortal Sects would be leaderless, and the Demon Race could seize the opportunity to invade.

The demon cultivator’s forcibly severed arm still throbbed with pain. A hint of fear flashed in his eyes. Despite his Nascent Soul Period cultivation, he couldn’t help but be terrified of Tan Qingxuan. The coercion this person had brought upon demon cultivators back then was simply too terrifying.

A person born with a ‘Sword Bone’ signifies the eternal prosperity of the immortal Dao. Tan Qingxuan alone overshadowed countless geniuses in the cultivation world, and the Demon Race had been suppressed by her to the point of breathless exhaustion for years.

If he could present Tan Qingxuan’s head to the Demon Venerable, he would receive endless wealth and power.

Greed filled the demon cultivator’s eyes. Seeing Tan Qingxuan stop, he immediately gripped the demon blade in his hand and summoned the Abyssal Demon Snakes.

Tan Qingxuan was physically weak and could not travel too far. If her mental energy was exhausted, she would be unable to accurately draw lethal spiritual talismans.

She stopped and, seeing that the demon cultivator behind her still dared not approach, she immediately bit the tip of her finger, using her flowing fresh blood to draw talismans in the void.

Countless profound Daoist techniques flashed across her eyes. Her slender, cold-white fingers were like a sharp scribe’s brush, writing with the swiftness of dragons and snakes. With every complex stroke that fell, glimmers of golden light flashed.

The formation of the talismans shocked the wind and rain, naturally forming a brilliant golden light that drew countless thunderclouds to gather in the sky. As the foremost person under the Heavenly Dao of this world, she naturally received the protection of the Heavenly Dao.

The dense sea of thunderclouds descended. Over ten terrifying purple lightning bolts, as thick as an arm, struck the completed high-grade talismans. Heralding purple, terrifying electric light surged within the golden light, circulating around the talismans for enhancement, adding immense power to her presence.

The demon cultivator had witnessed the horror of talisman formation. He had once been trapped by a talisman array, and his severed arm had been slashed by a spiritual sword enhanced with obscure runes. Every so often, he had to seek a demon doctor for treatment, suffering extreme pain.

Bone-deep hatred climbed into his heart. Malevolence surged in the demon cultivator’s chest. He absolutely could not allow Tan Qingxuan to complete the spiritual array!

The demon cultivator channeled his demonic energy throughout his body, brandishing the sharp demon blade, and lunged towards Tan Qingxuan’s throat.

Three demon snakes followed his movement, poised to attack simultaneously from three different directions!

The Demon Slaying Array was still short five talismans. Tan Qingxuan’s heart was utterly cold. She already felt signs of her spiritual energy being unsustainable.

Tan Qingxuan keenly sensed the approaching danger behind her. She narrowly dodged the demon blade. The next instant, the three demon snakes attacked simultaneously with lightning speed.

Three spiritual talismans were drawn by Tan Qingxuan through her fingertips, shooting out like sharp blades against the wind to block the demon snakes’ attack. The talismans, empowered by great force, pierced the demon snakes’ bodies, halting their advance for an instant.

Meanwhile, the demon blade, rampant with demonic energy, slashed left and right. Although Tan Qingxuan’s movement technique was exquisite, her severe injury still left her insufficient in power. Two spiritual talismans transformed into spiritual swords, intercepting the attack. They barely managed to block over fifty rounds.

The three demon snakes, whose flesh had been pierced and whose green blood flowed onto the ground, became ferocious. Taking advantage of Tan Qingxuan’s fight with the demon cultivator, they twisted their broken bodies and fiercely bit at Tan Qingxuan’s legs.

Her flesh and blood were instantly pierced by the demon snakes’ fangs. Chilling, cold demonic energy invaded her body, and fresh blood spurted out like a fountain.

A layer of cold sweat surfaced on Tan Qingxuan’s forehead. Her legs trembled uncontrollably from the pain, and she almost collapsed.

She gritted her teeth, swinging the talisman-turned-sword to kill the demon snakes. The expended talismans all shattered. Another swipe of the demon blade grazed her. Crimson blood streamed onto her white clothes, like scattered, proud plum blossoms against the cold snow.

A demonic palm struck, knocking her hard to the ground. The cold light of the blade, piercing through bone and blood, reflected in Tan Qingxuan’s eyes. She was mere inches from death.

Tan Qingxuan’s ink-black pupils subconsciously contracted. Cold sweat hung on her forehead. She was in imminent peril.

The demon cultivator left Tan Qingxuan no room for counterattack, tightening the demon blade in his palm, ready to harvest Tan Qingxuan’s head!

The bone-chilling cold light was about to press onto her glabella. There was no spiritual energy left in her body to sustain her.

Tan Qingxuan knew in her heart that death was near. She was about to destroy her Sea of Consciousness, self-detonate, and perish with the demon cultivator.

Suddenly, with a jarring sound, the edge of the demon blade met a sharp claw. Golden sparks continuously shot out. The massive beast claw fiercely resisted the demon blade’s advance.

Cang Ran’s body was firmly blocking Tan Qingxuan. She bared her sharp, snow-white fangs, her entire coat of fur tensing up, and let out a threatening roar towards the demon cultivator.

The demon cultivator hadn’t expected a fox demon to rush over suddenly. A three-tailed fox demon in the Transformation Period—he had never taken such a thing seriously. She’s courting death!

He retracted the demon blade, sneered, and released the immense coercion from his mid-stage Nascent Soul Period cultivation. He wanted to see how long this fox demon could last.

The overwhelming, terrifying coercion was like a sharp blade hanging over the little fox’s fragile nerves, pressing her until she couldn’t breathe at all. She couldn’t support herself, and her beast legs trembled uncontrollably.

The gap of one major realm meant that coercion alone was enough to make the fox lose her fighting strength. The three fox tails, which she had proudly raised to bolster her presence, now drooped down.

Fear was branded straight into her heart. Cang Ran knew that if she continued to block the demon cultivator, the frigid demon blade would mercilessly pierce her heart.

A Nascent Soul Period demon cultivator only needed to release one layer of coercion to instill terror in her mind.

The cultivation world values strength above all else—this was never a mere empty phrase. If Cang Ran usually encountered such a powerful being, she would run faster than anyone. No one would stop her from fleeing for her life.

But the moment she saw Tan Qingxuan was about to be killed, her legs reacted faster than her brain, launching an attack on the demon cultivator, regardless of the danger.

She was afraid of death, terribly afraid. Her beastly instinct made her tremble continuously. Run away, run away, she couldn’t stay here, she had to live well.

Tan Qingxuan, covered in blood, saw the vast disparity in strength between Cang Ran and the demon cultivator. She knew Cang Ran was about to reach her limit. She said in a low voice, “Cang Ran, she’s here for me. Hurry and leave. I can handle her!”

Cang Ran’s tears were about to fall at this moment. Qingqing really thought she was that kind of stupid little fox.

She wasn’t someone who hadn’t read novels. Even like this, she’s still pretending to be strong. If she really left, Qingqing would surely be gone.

Just for that sentence, even if she sacrifices her life here, she must save Qingqing!
