The fated ones

Chapter 64

The view of the war was horrific yet engrossing. Although the demons outnumbered the immortals by the ratio of ten to one, the demons were losing by a large margin. The high gods alone were debilitating for the demon army. Each high god was fighting five or six stronger demons at once, and destroying the smaller ones.

At the same time, it seemed like feng jiu was just playing around with the demons. With the sword in one hand, she was fighting three to four demons and with her other hand, she was weaving intricate magical traps around the demon army. Her spells alone were destroying huge chunks of the demonic forces. There was also the fact that while her hands were busy with sword fighting and spells, each of her nine tails was an opponent on their own. Her long majestic red-tails were slithering around clueless demons and snapping off their necks or squeezing the life out of them. her nine tails alone were killing off tens of demons at any given moment.

At one point, each of her nine tails had wrapped themselves around one demon each, and with their necks in a wise grip, she was squeezing the life out of them. it was at this moment, she saw her grandfather, bai zhi fighting off six demons at once. Killing off the demons she was fighting at the time with one stroke of her Kunlun sword, she ran towards her grandfather, excited to see him.

She threw out fireballs at the six demons bai zhi was fighting at that time, effectively setting them ablaze before calling out to him, "grandfather, I'm so happy to see you." she ran directly into him and gave him a big hug.

Bai zhi guffawed at her enthusiasm and the fact that when she had come running, the demons trapped in her tails were dragged on the ground behind her. Laughing hard at the scene, he patted her on the back and said, "good work with the tails, kiddo. I will remember that for the next time."

Confused, feng jiu looked behind her in search of what he was referring to and found the now dead demons still trapped in her tails. She released their bodies and with a sheepish look on her face said, "sorry, I was so excited to see you that I forgot all about them."

"it's okay, xaio jiu. How could I miss out on so much fun, huh? It feels like I am back in my youth when I used to fight beside dong hua and my brothers. Just this time it's you instead of dong hua beside me working just as beautifully and my sons instead of my brothers fighting just as bravely. I am proud of you, xaio jiu, so proud." Bai zhi said as his eyes filled up.

Giving a shy but happy smile, feng jiu replied, "that means a lot to me, grandfather. Now, stop that leaking of your eyes. If anyone were to find the great fox emperor crying, it would ruin your credibility as a bullhead, now wouldn't it?"

Bai zhi cackled again at her statement and started to walk off, calling out in his wake, "go fight, xaio jiu. Show these demons your smartness, not me."

Feng jiu chuckled as she blew away a group of five demons trying to attack her from the side. Picking out four demons from around her, she started her tricks again. while her tails began their own assault, she started setting fires to demons around her. She watched and laughed as by the time they realized they were on fire, the demons started jumping around. While she was playing with them, the sword went around spinning and cutting off demon heads all over the battlefield. At this moment, bai zhen stumbled beside her, fighting off five demons of his own. Seeing her laughing, he called out, "stop playing, xaio jiu. This is not the time for your games."

Feng jiu pouted at being reprimanded and as she was about to reply she was interrupted by a voice coming from above.

"stop bothering my little fox, bai zhen. Let her play and have fun. "

Both the referred parties looked up at the source of that sound and saw dong hua floating down from the sky. Against the backdrop of the shining moon, the light bounced off of dong hua's silver hair making it look like a glowing layer of light. The image of dong hua descending was spellbinding.
