Chapter 2234: Chapter 2230: Not a Demon

For this kind of ore vein, West Desolation Old Demon still has several. After all, he is the master of West Desolation, and everything here used to be under his control.

There are many people in the ore-guard team of Meat-chopping Mountain, and because it’s relatively close to Fox Spirit Mountain, not long ago West Desolation Old Demon even sent his trusted butcher, Commander Meng Xiao.

Meng Xiao is burly and thick-set, with a ferocious face. He used to be a commander in the garrison of West Desolation City, but because he was too brutal and liked to eat human flesh, Guo Cunhou didn’t like him.

After Guo Cunhou took power, he started to squeeze Meng Xiao out. Meng Xiao wasn’t the type with a good temper to begin with; in a fit of rage, he left the garrison and defected to West Desolation Old Demon.

Although West Desolation Old Demon didn’t like this hot-tempered brute either, he really didn’t have that many usable men in hand, so he sent him to Meat-chopping Mountain as commander of the ore-guard team.

And you can’t deny it, this guy usually throws his weight around on Meat-chopping Mountain, but toward West Desolation Old Demon he’s full of gratitude. As long as it’s West Desolation Old Demon’s order, he never even bothers to ask and just strikes directly.

"Tang Ming, supposedly some Demon who’s pretending to be Tang Mosheng’s son. I’ve been in West Desolation so many years and never seen what a Demon looks like. This time, I’ll broaden my horizons and see what skills a Demon really has."

Meng Xiao took the meat-chopping knife down from the wall. ℯℯ𝑙.

He bought this knife in Wanghuang City after coming to Meat-chopping Mountain. For this knife, he spent more than three thousand Spirit Stones.

"Captain, how come I heard that Tang Ming is actually Tang Mosheng’s biological son, and not some Demon at all?"

A lackey standing beside Meng Xiao spoke in a low voice.

Meng Xiao turned around and looked at his lackey. The meat-chopping knife in his hand fell on that lackey’s head in an instant. "Bad luck. The City Lord said he’s a Demon—if he’s not a Demon, he’s still a Demon. If the City Lord says he’s not a Demon, then even if he is, he’s also not. Whose turf is West Desolation, have you all forgotten? From now on, keep your damn mouth in line."

All around, the ore-guard team members stared at Meng Xiao in terror, while that ugly face of his split into a crazed grin.

What Meng Xiao loves most is his men’s fear of him. He cultivates a kind of Demon Technique, said to come from the Demon Abyss, from a Demon called Fear Demon King.

As long as the people around him feel fear toward him, his strength will temporarily increase. That’s why he fights like a complete madman—partly because his body is tough, partly to drag his enemies into fear.

Leading his men down the mountain, sure enough, just like the informant said, there was a lone carriage heading toward the Fox Spirit Mountain Range.

And from the carriage he could clearly sense there were only four people.

Hu Jiuze slowly raised her head and said, "Someone just swept through here with immortal power, no restraint at all."

"Swept this place with immortal power—who? Could it be that big dumb oaf Meng Xiao?"

Hu Sanqiu, who had transformed into a fox, lifted her head and looked out of the carriage.

As soon as she spoke, sure enough, a gust of gale wind blew over, and a group of ore-guards in Armor blocked the carriage’s path.

"Tang Ming, stop right there. Really didn’t expect you’d dare leave the Fox Spirit Mountain Range. If you hadn’t left, there’d be nothing Meng Ye could do with you. Now that you’ve fallen into Meng Ye’s hands, looks like Meng Ye will have meat dishes again tonight."

Meng Xiao waved the meat-cleaver in his hand, excitement spreading across his face.

"So it really is you, Meng Xiao, you little bastard. Yapping at your third aunt for what?"

Hu Sanqiu shot out like a gust of wind.

Ying Chou yanked on the Iron Hoof Beast’s reins and drew his Tiger Teeth Dual Blades from his Storage Ring.

Tang Ming and Hu Mei’er stood beside Hu Jiuze. The four people originally in the carriage became five in an instant.

The extra one was Hu Sanqiu, which made Meng Xiao’s expression turn ugly at once.

Just how strong Hu Sanqiu is, everyone in West Desolation knows. Meng Xiao might not fear Hu Sanqiu herself, but the ore-guards behind him sure do.

Once they start fighting Hu Sanqiu, even if he manages to win, it’ll be a bloody victory.

Inwardly he cursed the informer soldier’s ancestors for eight generations, but he still steeled himself and let out a cold, sinister laugh: "Hu Sanqiu, aren’t you just good at beguiling men? Let me tell you, you’re useless on my men. These men were all brought up by me—if any of them dares raise a hand against me, I’ll chop them myself."

"Hehehe, is that so? Then I’m afraid all your men are going to be slaughtered squeaky clean by you. Honestly, Meng Xiao, this old lady has had her eye on that ore vein at Meat-chopping Mountain for a long time. It’s just that Eighth Sis disagreed and didn’t want to clash with you. Thinking about it now, leaving you around really is a disaster."

A flame-red big tail appeared behind Hu Sanqiu, and she transformed into a half-human, half-fox form.

Tang Ming knew this was the Fox Demon Clan’s combat form.

And Hu Mei’er, standing beside Tang Ming, rapidly transformed into a massive Eight-tailed Fire Fox.

However, the Eight-tailed Fire Fox Hu Mei’er became was different from other Eight-tailed Fire Foxes. Her eight tails were all black and red, and beneath her four paws burned dark-red flames.

"Knew it would be like this—definitely that woman’s bloodline. Didn’t expect it to evolve into an Eight-tailed Demon Fox."

Hu Jiuze gave a cold snort. She was the only one not taking action, just standing next to Tang Ming.

Yet Tang Ming could feel a chilling aura leaking out from within her body.

"Move. Make it quick. Since Meng Xiao dared strike, it must be on West Desolation Old Demon’s orders. Knowing this old lady is here, West Desolation Old Demon won’t just send Meng Xiao alone."

Hu Sanqiu’s voice came from not far away; two of Meng Xiao’s men were already hit by her Poison Hand.

"Venomous fox, I’ll skin you alive!"

Meng Xiao roared, but his gaze was fixed on Tang Ming.

Meng Xiao may be burly, but he’s not stupid. The reason he loves killing and eating people is because his Cultivation Technique needs other people’s fear.

To be able to stay at Meat-chopping Mountain for years and still make Fox Bachang wary of him, he does have a few real skills.

But this time, he’d been screwed by that informant, because Hu Sanqiu had turned into a fox and wasn’t discovered.

After spotting Hu Sanqiu, Meng Xiao knew there was no way he could kill all of them this time. But under Hu Sanqiu’s protection, can Tang Ming really return to Fox Spirit Mountain unscathed?

Meng Xiao thought not. Anyway, West Desolation Old Demon has been hammering it home—Tang Ming must die. Letting those foxes go doesn’t matter.
