The cheat system is useless, but I have the strongest living dad.

Chapter 236 Assassination

Since she couldn't climb over the alley, Shen Yao climbed down the wall.

As the saying goes, climbing up a wall is easy, but getting down is hard. This slippery wall is easy to climb up by desperately clinging to it and kicking with your legs, but when you come down, you can't grab on or stop.

What a sin!

I should have just gone into another alley instead of this one.

She's incredibly unlucky; how come she's been so unlucky in both her lives?

Right now, I really miss salted fish. It was when the little koi fish was by her side that she could bring her good luck.

When Tu Xiaoxiao caught up, Shen Yao was hanging in the middle of the wall. The aftereffects of the Golden Coral Wine were kicking in, and her limbs suddenly felt weak and powerless, and her head was also a little dizzy and painful.

It's likely that Huaying gave her some hangover tea during the drinking session, which is why she hasn't gotten drunk yet.

Tu Xiaoxiao sensed that Shen Yao was in the middle of the wall. Not knowing why she didn't continue climbing up, she stood at the bottom of the wall and kept watch.

Shen Yao saw the eight-tailed fox under the wall and struggled internally. A moment later, the Qi Spirit Concealment Technique would fail and disappear, revealing her in this state, which would be extremely embarrassing and shameful.

However, if one uses a spiritual technique, it will be immediately exposed.

Either way, I'm exposed, but it's better than being exposed to death. Fine, I'll take a gamble.

She used her spiritual energy to fly up from the wall, and her figure appeared instantly. Tu Xiaoxiao released a spiritual net to catch her, and the fairy, who was already drunk and weak, was caught without resistance.

Shen Yao lay motionless on the ground. Tu Xiaoxiao released a fox tail and swept it across her through the spiritual net: "Get up and keep running."

The fairy closed her eyes and said, "I have no strength left."

As soon as I closed my eyes, the intoxication washed over me, my mind went blank, and I fell asleep instantly.

The fox tail slapped at her through the spirit net, but the fairy didn't react at all. Tu Xiaoxiao squatted down and pushed her, but the fairy was like a dead body.

His heart skipped a beat. He rushed to check her breathing and listened to her heartbeat, only to find that she was just asleep.

Tu Xiaoxiao laughed in exasperation. If this were his younger sister, he would definitely give her a beating.

Her five direct sisters combined couldn't cause as much trouble as her—no, even all her sisters from both maternal and collateral branches combined couldn't cause as much trouble as her.

He was only away from her for half a day, and she managed to run off to Zui Hongyan and cause such a commotion.

That's just...so cheeky and reckless...outrageous!

He finally understood why Feng Yu kept such a strict control over her; she simply didn't dare let her out alone. If he were Feng Yu, he would lock her up and make sure she didn't go out without him by her side.

Tu Xiaoxiao withdrew the spirit net, resignedly picked her up, and was about to leave the alley when she suddenly sensed something was wrong. This aura... would it ever end? A new assassin had arrived!

Without thinking twice, he stuffed two powerful hangover pills into Shen Yao's mouth and immediately flew away with her.

Several wind walls blocked his path, but Tu Xiaoxiao smiled contemptuously and flicked out her eight fox tails, easily breaking through the wind walls.

As the wind wall shattered, a large bronze bell fell from the sky, forcing him back into the alleyway.

"Clang... Clang..." The sound of the bronze bell was deafening, and the demon cultivators near the alley were suffering from splitting headaches.

"The Demon-Suppressing Bronze Bell." Tu Xiaoxiao's spiritual power erupted, conjuring a fiery red wave of light to counter it.

The bronze bell was enveloped in waves of light, its sound blocked out. A dozen figures landed in the alley and surrounded him.

Tu Xiaoxiao scoffed disdainfully, "You think you can kill me just because you have two more drug-addicted immortals?"

"There are so many immortal cultivators in Longyuan City. You've been hiding them quite well."

The leader of the assassins pointed his knife at him: "Enough nonsense, is the female cultivator in your arms Shen Yao?"

A fierce glint appeared in Tu Xiaoxiao's vertical pupils: "What? Trying to steal it?"

The lead assassin gestured: "Kill him, but don't hurt the sect leader's immortal partner."

Of the sixteen assassins, eight formed a defensive formation in the alley, while the other eight attacked Tu Xiaoxiao from within the formation.

The array formation and the pills enhanced their skills, and the two Immortal Saints who had taken the pills were now able to unleash the strength of a mid-grade Immortal Ancestor.

If they had met before, Tu Xiaoxiao wouldn't have taken them seriously, but now that Shen Yao was involved, although she was a Celestial Saint, she was now a sleeping Celestial Saint, offering no help and even hindering them.

The strong never complain about their environment. The eight-tailed fox's eyes flashed red as it nimbly dodged various attacks and seized any openings to counterattack.

After only a few moves, he realized that these assassins were indeed afraid of hurting Shen Yao, and were fighting very conservatively.

Since that's the case... he even considered throwing Shen Yao out to draw attention to her.

I think I'll pass; I can't afford to gamble.

Several ice spikes came straight at him. His spiritual fire melted the ice blades, and with a flick of his long tail, he struck the assassin who had released the ice blades. The assassin's lumbar vertebrae instantly snapped in two, and he collapsed to the ground.

The instant he lashed out with his fox tail, he rushed toward one of the array masters with ghostly speed. The moment the array master met his gaze, his soul core was shattered by his spiritual sense.

He dodged the golden cone that came from behind, which then pierced directly into the body of the array master whose soul core he had shattered.

Tu Xiaoxiao seized the opportunity to mock, "Immortal cultivators are ruthless and adept at killing each other."

"Cover me!" With one less position in the buff array, the assassins inside were weakened. The lead assassin wielded his knife and struck at the light wave surrounding the Demon-Suppressing Bronze Bell, attempting to use the power of the high-level spiritual treasure to suppress the Eight-Tailed Fox's spiritual power.

In an instant, the other six cultivators in the formation joined forces to launch a series of attacks on Tu Xiaoxiao. While responding to the attacks, Tu Xiaoxiao flew over to block the leader of the assassins.

The lead assassin was kicked to the ground by Tu Xiaoxiao, but the knife in his hand had already been flung into the light wave.

"Sizzle..." The spiritual energy blocking the bronze bell became unbalanced, and a thin crack appeared.

Ordinary high-grade spiritual treasures cannot suppress the eight-tailed fox, but the Demon-Suppressing Bronze Bell ranks among the top high-grade spiritual treasures. Moreover, it was specially made by the immortals to deal with the demons and to suppress the spiritual power of demon cultivators.

The Demon-Suppressing Bronze Bell is made of Qingxin Copper from a secret realm, and there are not many of them in the world. I didn't expect that the True God Sect's hidden agents in Longyuan City would have one.

As the lead assassin was kicked to the ground, the lightning bolts unleashed by the eight-tailed fox struck him, shattering all the meridians in his body.

The leader of the assassins died, and one of the immortal saints who had taken drugs quickly took his place, attacking the red light wave that enveloped the bronze bell with all his might.

"Clang..." A muffled bell rang out, and the wave of light was struck again, causing the crack to widen even further.

Tu Xiaoxiao locked her vertical pupils onto the Immortal Saint who had filled the gap, and condensed her golden spiritual power into a long blade to slash at the Immortal Saint.

The immortal saint couldn't dodge in time and was slashed on the shoulder by the long sword. He gritted his teeth and attacked the red light wave with all his might, and the light wave began to shatter.

Tu Xiaoxiao used her fox tail to deflect the attacks from the other assassins, freeing one hand to form a hand seal in preparation for repairing the light waves.

The assassins in the alley simultaneously threw out chains of spiritual energy; dozens of chains attacked the eight-tailed fox from all directions, interrupting his hand seals.

Tu Xiaoxiao soared through the air, eight spiritual blades slashing through the chains, severing more than a dozen chains in a few breaths. The remaining chains then wrapped around his limbs and fox tail.

"Dong... Dong..." The sound of the bell broke through the light waves, and the deep sound of the bell made Tu Xiaoxiao's spiritual power stagnate. The assassins worked together to pull the eight-tailed fox from the air to the ground.

He glanced at the fairy in his arms; her cheeks were rosy, and she was sleeping soundly.

Enraged, his eyes flashed red, and he used his fox tail to pull the chains back, throwing several assassins at him. With a ghostly, elusive movement, he darted past them, shattering their soul cores one by one…
