Even if Austin had seen how badly injured the demonic fox was with his own eyes, he still kept his
guard up. After all, he was facing a level three demonic beast that surely had special skills.
"Ugh! I've seen beasts like you multiple times, and you're not that powerful. Your tricks don't work on
me," Austin said coldly.
Although he spoke fiercely, he remained calm as usual.
The small demonic fox looked crestfallen. She was annoyed at her carelessness, which almost killed
her.
Never had she been hurt so badly until now. She loathed Austin so much, and his sneering face only
made her angrier.
Suddenly, the fox let out a shrill cry.
Her usually soft fur got longer, and each hair strand became straight as needles. To Austin's eyes, her
body looked like a hedgehog that would explode. Then a cloud surrounded the fox, and its colors
alternated from blue, red, and white.
The demonic aura the fox emitted frightened Austin. The level three demonic beast was much stronger
than a level two one. Even without using an illusion, her strength alone was forceful enough.
Her green eyes stared at Austin. Suddenly, she raised her right paw and scratched in the air. A black
fox paw figure appeared in the sky. It was two dozen larger than the fox and had as much demonic
power.
Austin didn't dare to underestimate the fox paw's power and worked up his skills as well. His two hands
swiftly made different gestures then small golden snakes appeared from his palms. Their slender
bodies slithered everywhere like mad.
Then, a three-layer golden pagoda emerged from Austin's palms. He was delighted to find out that his
Golden Sun Scripture improved the pagoda's strength. Its immense power was palpable throughout the
area.
Meanwhile, the demonic fox looked alarmingly at the three-layer golden pagoda. She seemed to have
thought of something, then pointed her paw at the huge black fox paw-like figure.
The black fox paw immediately charged at Austin with its immense demonic aura.
This was Austin's first time to fight with his Grand Pagoda, so he had expected his opponent's move.
Before the huge fox paw could come near him, he started to make the pagoda move.
The three-layer golden pagoda quivered slightly at first, then it released a wave of powerful force and
attacked the black fox paw.
Bang!
The two forces collided with each other and released waves of power like an explosion. Rocks were
scattered everywhere, and the ground shook for a second.
However, the demonic fox's spiritual soul had been injured badly. At this moment, she only got to use
half of her demonic power.
On the other hand, Austin's golden pagoda was made up of his seventy percent vital energy, and its
strength was already on par with the fox paw.
'Go!' he mentally commanded.
He fought and mentally directed the golden pagoda towards the fox paw. Its golden exterior shined
brightly as if to tell the fox that it feared nothing at all.
Bang!
The stones on the ground flew everywhere again, and the whole cave started to shake violently. Rocks
fell down from the cave's ceiling and walls.
After the second collision, the fox paw almost disappeared.
In turn, Austin was extremely ecstatic that his Grand Pagoda could easily defeat the fox paw.
"Continue colliding!" Austin shouted.
He fought confidently as if he was the god of war. The Grand Pagoda flew towards the black fox paw
again, as Austin had mentally instructed.
A crashing sound was heard and the black fox paw finally collapsed. It turned into numerous black dots
then disappeared.
This hurt the demonic fox badly once again, and her body hit the wall of the cave as it fell down. Blood
gushed out from her wounds and she was extremely weak.
Her green eyes fearfully stared at Austin, and she admitted defeat by lying down.
She thought that even though she got hurt by her spiritual sense attack, it would be easy for her to
defeat Austin. She was so sure of it because Austin was only at level six of the Energy Gathering
Realm.
However, she never expected that Austin could perform such a powerful skill that had severely injured
her.
"Ha! Ha! You demonic fox! What do you think of our fight? Do you want to continue?" Austin asked.
He loomed over her sullen, defeated figure. "A level three beast core! Wow! It should be worth a lot!
You evil fox, you should know that you can never defeat me!" he continued.
"Say your last words!" He mentally commanded the pagoda once again.
The golden pagoda strongly flew towards the demonic fox.
"Please don't kill me," the fox suddenly opened her mouth and spoke.
The little fox had so many injuries that she was almost dead. She knew that she could no longer fight
against Austin, so she started to speak in the humans' language and asked for mercy.
Austin looked at her feeble form incredulously.
"Don't kill you? Why not? Are we good friends? You just wanted to take my primordial masculine
energy to refine yourself," he retorted.
If a man's primordial masculine energy was absorbed from him, he would certainly die.
Austin made the golden pagoda hover above the demonic fox, even if she had begged for her life.
However, he did notice that the little fox was so incapacitated already that she couldn't even stand up.
It meant that he wasn't in danger anymore, so there was no need to kill her now.
The little fox looked weary and forlorn. She had cried so much that her tears almost ran out. Her glassy
eyes looked at Austin sadly as if she was an injured animal that needed to be taken care of.
Austin was almost taken aback by the little fox's eyes as he couldn't help but purse his lips.
If he were an innocent girl with too much love, maybe he would've been cheated by her in this way
already.
"Hmmm. I know you are pretending to be like that. How many young people have you killed and
absorbed their primordial masculine energy recently? You were so cruel and wanted to kill me a
moment ago, but now you are pretending to be a weak animal?" Austin said.
"I'm sorry but it doesn't work on me," he finished coldly.
"Let's go on!" he shouted again.
He showed no sympathy for the little fox at all. He pointed at her with his finger, then the Grand Pagoda
rushed towards her once again.
"Please don't kill me. I would like to be your slave and serve you forever!" the little fox suddenly
shouted.
She wouldn't die like this, and hurriedly asked for mercy again.
"Be my slave?"
Austin was puzzled.
"How can you be my slave? You just said that because you're badly hurt now and cannot defeat me,"
he said. "As long as you can recover, you can defeat me easily. I know that well," he added.
However, the little fox shook her head.
"It's easy. You can make your spiritual sign on my beast soul. You can control my life with your mind, so
I will never betray you in the future," she quickly explained.
She knew that if the pagoda hit her, she would definitely be pulverized into dust. If she became a slave,
she would at least be alive.
Austin thought about it carefully for a while.
'Making my spiritual sign on your beast soul? I can control your life with my mind?' That's amazing!'
Now he got interested.
"You can do it easily, since you have such a powerful spiritual sense," the fox added.
When she saw that Austin was fascinated by what she said, she was relieved to have a chance to still
live.
"I am strong as a man at the Earth Realm. If I became your slave, you would have a helper of the Earth
Realm," the fox spoke again.
"Moreover, I am a nine tail demonic fox, with the innate skills of flirtation and illusion. A nine tail
demonic fox at level five or above could change its appearance into a girl. Many powerful cultivators
like to capture demonic foxes that can turn into girls to sleep with. Our foxes have innate flirtation skills
which are stronger than that of human girls," the little fox told Austin what she knew.
She had subtly said the last sentence in a gentle and sweet voice. When Austin listened to it, he felt so
comfortable as if there was a soft hand that touched his heart, and tried to turn on the hidden desires in
the depths of his mind. It seduced him to follow his inner instincts.
If Austin had not been talking to a fox, he probably would have believed that those words came from a
sweet beauty.
"Okay! That's enough. Stop your flirtation," he said.
With a deep breath, he shook his head.
He suppressed his innermost desires and went back to the task at hand.
"You have persuaded me, so tell me how to make my spiritual sign."
The little fox was more than happy to tell Austin how to make his spiritual sign.
Now, Austin needed the little fox's cooperation to make his spiritual sense on her spiritual soul since his
spiritual sense was at such a low level. If the little fox couldn't accept it, she would die and her soul
would disappear.
Austin followed the little fox's instructions carefully. He pulled one piece of his own spiritual soul and
willed it to enter the little fox's Soul Sea.
This was his first time to enter someone else's Soul Sea, and not to mention a Soul Sea of a level three
demonic fox.
The Soul Sea was filled with a demonic aura, which frequently fluctuated. Above the Soul Sea was a
figure of the little fox—it was the demonic fox's beast soul.
Austin commanded his piece of spiritual sense and attached it to the beast soul.
Although the demonic fox wasn't actually willing to accept it, she was pliant enough to be under
Austin's control. Shortly after, he had finished attaching his spiritual sense to the demonic fox.
After they were done, he immediately felt a strange sensation that the demonic fox's life was really
under his control. If he wanted it, he could easily ask the demonic fox to die.
That piqued his curiosity, so he tried to think about it. The little demonic fox instantly shrieked
miserably, and her body shook and twitched under Austin's harsh torture.
In turn, Austin stopped thinking about it at once. "I'm sorry. I was just curious," he apologized.
He was quite satisfied with the result, as he could control the fox completely. However, he still
apologized to her for inflicting pain.
"It's okay. I am the Master's slave, you can let me live or die as you please," the little fox said.
Even if she had just been tortured harshly, she didn't dare to show her displeasure. She looked
submissive and obedient, and stared fawningly at Austin.
When he saw the little fox's facial expression, he realized something.
"The charming woman I saw just now was your illusion, wasn't she?" he asked.
"Yes, master," the little demotic fox answered.
Right after she finished her sentence, a beam of green light flashed, and the demonic fox disappeared.
In her place was the charming girl that Austin saw before.
It really was an illusion of the little demonic fox.
