120 Jailbreaking Foxes (2/2)

This little girl! No, this old granny. Wait, that wasn't right either. Chen Wentian slapped his own face in anger and tried to ignore her. Jasmine was an amalgamation of both young and bratty and old and needy, two things he disliked in women. Divine beasts were really difficult to deal with. Maybe she would have driven the Snake Lord to an early death if he wasn't betrayed, he thought.

He mentally went through all of his souls and finally brought out the Purple Jade Hercules Beetle. This soul was once of his most special not just because of its strength but that it had an innate compatibility with Dugu's 10th Sword. The Purple Jade Hercules Beetle was probably even better than him at this mysterious sword art that he found by luck. There was a reason he gave the sword to Wu Qianyu, as it also secretly enhanced her cultivation speed of the sword art.

Jasmine stared in fascination as Chen Wentian turned from a towering gigantic snake into a tiny little bug. She wondered how useful it would be as bugs were useless things she crushed and munched on in her spare time.

”Please, Jasmine, I don't need to know that you eat bugs right now...”

”What? I'm a fox! You're a dirty human!”

Chen Wentian shut off his ears and concentrated on the matter at hand. He flew up as the Purple Jade Hercules Beetle and landed on the lock, placing his massive main horn on the neck of the lock. He then meditated for ten seconds to focus his energy on a single powerful attack.

The entire prison soon filled with honed blades of sword energy. The rocks walls began to shake and crumble to dust from the pressure. There was a screeching sound as the prison array tried to protect itself. Even Jasmine could feel a sense of danger as the little beetle's horn glowed bright with power.

Slash the World!

All the sword energies within the room collapsed inward, focusing on the beetle's blade. The air seemed to freeze; time seemed to stop. The lock didn't show any outward signs of damage but a split second later, it split into two as if it was always that way. Chen Wentian used every last ounce of energy left in his shadow and the product was the true first movement of Dugu's 10th Sword and it was simply peerless.

As his shadow body was dissipating, he managed activate the prison controls and the shimmering walls around Jasmine collapsed in an instant.

”Wow!” Jasmine clapped her hands at the explosive display of power. She was really quite impressed; her little fox was the best!

She then leaped off the bed and walked around, making sure the energy shields were really gone. She jumped around in joy at finally being freed. She yawned and stretched a few times before realizing that Chen Wentian had disappeared.

”Little fox!” Jasmine cried out in panic and ran out of the tunnel towards the surface.
