Before the girl could shake the magic artifact in her hand, the sleeves of the elderly Daoist shook first and he spat out the word ‘strike’.

A golden shadow burst out like a lightning bolt. In a flash, it turned into a golden rope and twined around the girl, binding her tightly.

A thud sounded!

Liu Le’er did not stand firm and she turned over, falling down at once.

“What on earth do you want to do, old scoundrel?”

The girl glared at Perfected White Stone. She twisted her body, but the gold rope on her body seemed to feel her resistance and glowing brightly, it tightened its hold over her.

“Mmh…”

The girl’s expression was twisted with pain, tears flowing out from her eyes, but she gritted her teeth without shouting out.

At this moment, the ears by the side of her cheeks suddenly disappeared and instead, two pointed triangular fox ears appeared in the black hair on both sides of her head.

A powerful force of imprisonment came from the golden rope, blocking all the magic in her body.

“Haha, what do I want to do? You little fox demon, did you really think you could hide your identity from the eyes of an immortal with just a magical artifact? You must be really naive!” Perfected White Stone narrowed his eyes at the girl who had fallen to the ground.

“You’ve already seen through my identity!” The girl’s heart sank lower, but her face was still full of stubbornness.

“Haha, is that really something you should be worried about at this time? You were brought into the house by Seventh Miss, and the Fox clan is not a negligible force in the demon race of the Spirit World. I wanted to turn a blind eye and let you off, but who would have thought I would find this humanoid treasure.”

After Perfected White Stone spoke, he turned to look at Liu Shi, who was inside the black ice block and there was a trace of uncontrollable desire in his eyes.

“What… What are you going to do to Brother Stone?” Liu Le’er asked in a trembling voice when she saw Perfected White Stone.

“Don’t worry, I can’t bear to kill your silly brother. He’s born with a powerful soul, which is hard to see in a hundred years. What’s more, he became stupid because of the damage to his soul. As long as I use my secret skill to slightly refine and wipe away his remaining consciousness, I can make a soul puppet with infinite potential.” Perfected White Stone was half explaining and half talking to himself, his face full of contentment.

After Liu Le’er heard this, a line of blood trickled out from the corner of her mouth. There was a crazed look in her eyes and there was a strange redness on her face. Her body suddenly arched and the low roar of wild animals came from her mouth. Her pupils suddenly lit up with a green light and white fur grew on large parts of her body.

Every strand of the fox fur was shining with a crystalline light and she looked like she had transformed into a white hedgehog. The white fur on her tail was flickering with white electric arcs.

The white fox fur suddenly hardened and pushed out and the golden rope was stretched out. The fluffy tail shook and the white light grew brighter.

Swish, swish, swish!

Countless white fur flew out, like a thousand flying needles, making piercing sounds as it passed through the sky, hitting the black ice block.

“Damn it!”

Perfected White Stone suddenly turned around, shouting angrily. With a wave of his hand, a black oval shield appeared, which then turned into a flash of black light, shooting out at lightning speed. It flew to the black ice block before the white fox fur reached it.

The oval shield grew several times bigger, shielding the black ice block behind it.

A series of loud bangs rang out!

The white fur hit the black shield and the black shield trembled and blocked all the furry needles.

When Liu Le’er saw this, the green light in her eyes flickered violently. She was about to make a move, when the light on the golden rope grew, its strength almost doubled. It contracted rapidly, crushing the white fur. At the same time, the golden light on the surface of the rope flashed, and countless sharp golden needles that were as long as a finger grew out, piercing her body deeply.

“Ah!”

In an instant, blood gushed out from the girl’s body, dyeing the white fox fur red. But she gritted her teeth and ignored the blood flowing from her as she used the last of her strength to shake her tail again.

Swish!

White fur flew out again.

This time, the fur scattered like flowers and attacked the black ice block from all directions.

Although the defensive abilities of the black shield was amazing, it was impossible for it to block the fur from every direction.

“Demon, how dare you!”

Perfected White Stone was furious. Opening his mouth, he spat out a black light. It was a snake-shaped flying sword wrapped in black light, which flew to the top of the black ice block in a flash.

Buzz!

The flying sword hovered in the air, giving out black sword energy and formed a sword shadow that wrapped around the black ice block.

The black shield was also shining and grew bigger again, protecting the ice block along with the sword shadow.

The clinking of blows between iron and gold sounded.

Most of the fur was blocked by the flying sword and shield, but some of them penetrated the shadow sword and hit the black ice block.

The black ice block shook violently, many small holes appeared on the surface, several cracks emerged and spread rapidly.

At this moment, the figure of Perfected White Stone appeared beside the ice block. With a wave of both of his hands, a large amount of black energy rolled out of his sleeve, part of it melting into the black ice block, the remaining gathered into a shield and covered the black ice block entirely.

The cracks on the ice immediately stopped spreading and then quickly merged together and recovered. In a few breaths, the ice block returned to its original state.

Perfected White Stone breathed a sigh of relief and turned to glare furiously at Liu Le’er.

The girl was lying on the ground at this moment, her eyes full of indignance.

The white fox fur on her had all disappeared and her breathing was heavy. It was quite obvious that the two attacks just now had greatly exhausted her.

“I’ve really underestimated you!” Perfected White Stone said coldly. If his movement had been a little slower, the black ice would have been broken apart by Liu Le’er.

He then waved his hand and a foot of black light appeared out of thin air and hit Liu Le’er.

The girl’s delicate body flew out and hit one of the room’s walls. She then spat out a large mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

She was covered in blood, her hair messy, her face was pale and she looked terrible.

If Perfected White Stone hadn’t had the thought of selling her for Spirit Stones, he would have killed her long ago.

“Brother Stone…” Liu Le’er murmured as she barely raised her head to look at Liu Shi who was in the ice. But her body suddenly twitched and she passed out.

When Perfected White Stone saw this, he waved his hand and several talismans flew out and covered Liu Le’er’s body.

A large amount of black light broke out from the talisman and gathered into a ball of light and covered the girl entirely.

After doing all this, the elderly Daoist turned around to look at that black ice block and could not help but smile.

“Exalted Red Robe, Osmanthus Demon. Wait for me to make the soul puppet and let’s see how you will be my match!”

Perfected White Stone stopped smiling and raised both of his hands. Another eight talismans flew out and landed on the ground near the black ice block.

Buzz!

A large amount of black light spilled forth from the eight talismans, forming an array and holding up the black ice block, suspending it a few feet off the ground.

When the elderly Daoist saw this, he took out a black gourd.

The gourd was engraved with a circle of blue runes and gave off a cold light as the sound of liquid surging from inside filled the air.

Opening the stopper of the gourd, he tilted the gourd carefully and poured out a jet black liquid that was giving off a pungent smell.

Black lights shone in the liquid and moved around as if it were a living thing.
