It is said that the fox demon clan can give birth to up to nine tails, which are called nine-tailed foxes.
It's just that no one has ever seen a nine-tailed fox demon. The most recorded ones are eight-tailed ones, whose strength is comparable to that of a second-level human monk.
Inferring from this, the division of realms among the fox demon clan becomes obvious.
One tail is equal to the ninth rank, and nine tails is equal to the first rank.
When Yangliu Shi first took the Eclipse Bead, there were only 800 years of Taoism stored in it, which was still a little short of the watershed of "one thousand years", so only seven tails were born.
However, during the process of "melting beads", she used the power of the fox demon's shadow to kill a man who had practiced Taoism for six hundred years, so she actually absorbed one-third of the latter's cultivation.
Eight hundred plus two hundred equals exactly one thousand.
In this way, Yangliu Shi just met the conditions for the birth of the eighth tail.
And this also means that her current strength has surpassed Liang Zhen and others in one fell swoop, becoming the only existence weaker than Han Zhao among the 300,000 troops...
From the fourth-tailed sixth grade, it went directly to the eight-tailed second grade.
Although the Solar Eclipse Beads are cheaper than the True Dragon Forehead Scales, it is not an exaggeration to say that the effect of the Eclipse Beads can be changed in another day.
Of course, just like when Wei Changtian used his true dragon forehead scales to break through to the third level, the effect of the Solar Eclipse Pearl has not yet been fully exerted.
If he could save up a little more, save up three or four thousand years of Taoism before taking it, Yangliu Shibao would definitely be able to give birth to Nine Tails in one fell swoop.
But it's a pity that she had no choice just now.
Faced with the situation just now, taking the Solar Eclipse Bead is the only way to break the situation...
"clatter."
The hem of her skirt is flying, and her toes tap lightly on the ground.
Like a fairy descending from the moon, Yangliu Shi's already stunning appearance seems to have become even more breathtaking.
The shadow of the fox demon behind him had disappeared, but that scene was deeply etched into Wang Nianchu's mind.
Now, no matter how short-sighted she is, she already knows that Yang Liushi's true identity is actually a fox demon.
Therefore, when she watched the latter approaching her step by step, a strong fear slowly surged in her heart.
but......
He took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and poured out a few round pills.
Yang Liushi did not kill anyone, but just knelt down and helped Wang Nianchu up, and gently fed the elixir into the latter's mouth.
"Husband, madam...cough! Cough cough cough!"
Feeling the warmth spreading from his Dantian, Wang Nianchu's eyes widened and he coughed out a few more mouthfuls of blood.
"Stop talking, you are seriously injured."
Yang Liushi stretched out her sleeves to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes were very gentle.
"Miss Wang, you are right, I am indeed a fox demon."
"But don't tell anyone about this or what you just saw."
"Okay?"
"..."
Wang Nianchu didn't say "good", let alone "bad".
She just looked at Yang Liushi blankly, not knowing what she was feeling.
At this moment, as a group of soldiers rushed into the courtyard, Zhang San's urgent voice finally sounded in their ears.
"lady!!"
"Madam! The villain is late! How are you?!"
"Where did the thief escape to? I will lead someone to chase him now!"
"Come quickly! Check Madam's injuries!!"
"..."
After roaring several times, Zhang San's face turned red, but he let out a long sigh of relief.
As soon as he rushed in, he only saw Yang Liushi and Wang Nianchu covered in blood. He subconsciously thought that both of them were injured and that the assassin escaped after the assassination failed.
Fortunately, the madam is not dead, otherwise the young master would...
"hiss......"
Thinking of Wei Changtian's reaction if Yang Liushi died, Zhang San couldn't help but shudder.
He quickly rushed to Yang Liushi with a few military doctors, and the latter had slowly stood up at this time.
"Zhang San, I'm fine."
"But Miss Wang is seriously injured, let's treat her first."
"Ah? Yes!"
With a look from Zhang San, several military doctors immediately took out various pills and soft cloths, stepped forward and began to carefully examine Wang Nianchu's condition.
However, Zhang San had no time to care about this. He just looked nervously at the blood stains on Yang Liushi's body.
"Madam, are you really okay?"
"And where did the thief escape? The villain will definitely capture him and cut him into pieces!"
"I'm really fine. These blood stains belong to Miss Wang."
Looking at Zhang San gritting his teeth, Yang Liushi smiled.
"As for the assassin...he's there."
"Um?!"
In an instant, everyone turned their heads suddenly and looked in the direction of Yang Liushi's finger.
Then, they saw a pool of meat mixed with rags and blood...
"..."
Looking at this scene, all the soldiers present widened their eyes in disbelief. Their expressions varied from shock to disgust to shock.
At this moment, Yang Liushi suddenly noticed a young girl who was grabbed by the wrist by several soldiers.
"Zhang San, who is this?"
Looking at the girl with a pale face but red eyes, Yang Liushi frowned and asked Zhang San.
"Ah? Ah!"
Zhang San suddenly came back to his senses and quickly answered:
"Go back to Madam, this little girl was hiding sneakily on the street corner just now, and we just happened to bump into her."
"The villain was worried that she might be related to tonight's incident, so he arrested her together and planned to interrogate her later."
"Is it?"
Yang Liushi nodded, and then whispered in Zhang San's surprised eyes:
"Now that the thief is dead, leave a few of you to take care of Miss Wang, and the rest can go back."
"Tell General Han and General Liang that I'm fine so they don't have to come again."
"Oh, by the way, leave this little girl to me and I'll ask her."
"..."
Yang Liushi's voice was not loud, but her tone was undeniable.
Zhang San, who was afraid that something might happen to Yang Liushi again, wanted to say something else, but the moment he saw the former's eyes, the words came to his lips but he refused to say them.
what happened......
Why do you feel that Madam is a little different from before?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Doubts flashed through his mind, and Zhang San hesitated for a long time, but in the end he did not disobey Yang Liushi's order.
"You few stay with me! The rest of you should go back to camp first!"
"Why are you still standing there? Didn't you hear what the lady said? Bring that little girl over quickly!"
"..."
Soon, most of the soldiers withdrew from the courtyard, and the rest were busy collecting the corpses in the courtyard, or looking around to keep vigil, etc.
And the girl who had not said a word from beginning to end was also escorted in front of Yang Liushi.
"Madam, then we..."
"Let's all get busy."
"yes!"
Zhang San winked and immediately led the last few people out of the backyard.
As a result, only Yang Liushi and the girl were left in the dim moonlight.
Feeling the familiar aura, Yang Liushi already knew that the latter was the little fox from the Mountain Temple.
Therefore, her eyes became a little complicated.
"what's your name?"
"..."
"The man who came to kill me is your father?"
"..."
"Are you here to avenge your mother?"
"..."
Yang Liushi asked three questions in a row, but the girl didn't answer a word. She just stared at her with red eyes, filled with unforgettable hatred.
"well......"
Sighing slightly, Yang Liushi didn't ask any more questions.
Because "no answer" is actually the answer.
He stretched out his left hand and gently wiped away the mud on the girl's face.
The next moment, Yang Liushi's pupils slowly began to become darker, and finally turned into the dark vertical pupils that Wang Nianchu had just seen with his own eyes.
"Well......"
Her body trembled, and the girl's eyes suddenly became dull, and the hatred in her eyes gradually faded away.
After an unknown amount of time, she raised her head in confusion and stared at Yang Liushi for a moment.
Then, a timid yet hopeful voice sounded in the dim moonlight.
