Chapter 156 The Red Fox Appears
The sword fell and blood gushed out.
When the blood splattered, everyone subconsciously held their breath.
On Kang Xiaorong's sword and on Ji Anni's neck, bright red lines cruelly continued to snake.
The Queen Mother's teeth were chattering, and the guards lying in disorder under the execution platform were all unable to move. Not far away, Yun Zhen's palm was still shrouded in a faint golden light - he had not yet launched his final attack.
Kang Xiaorong's face, splattered with blood, looked somewhat hideous.
Ji Anni slowly turned her eyes and saw a black shadow.
An unknown black shadow stood between the sword and the neck.
An unknown black shadow blocked Kang Xiaorong's sword for Ji Anni.
However, there was a bloody cut on the body of the black shadow!
No one spoke, and time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
Ji Anni couldn't see clearly what the black shadow was because it was lying on her neck and the distance was too close to see the whole picture.
Except for Ji Anni, everyone present had seen the true identity of the black shadow.
It was a fox - a fiery red fox!
The fox ignored the blood gushing out of his body and stared at Kang Xiaorong holding the sword with terrifying eyes.
As if provoked by that look, or as if out of some inexplicable fear, Kang Xiaorong roared and swung his sword again. This time, his target was not Ji Anni's neck, but the fox that came out of nowhere!
The fox suddenly jumped up, pounced on the back of Kang Xiaorong's hand and bit it hard.
Kang Xiaorong let out a scream and his sword fell to the ground.
The fox pounced on Kang Xiaorong's head again and bit the most tender part of his neck.
Suddenly, a stream of blood spurted out!
Kang Xiaorong subconsciously covered the wound on his neck, stepped back repeatedly, and sat down on the ground.
All this happened in the blink of an eye, and Ji Anni subconsciously touched her neck.
She didn't feel any wounds, only a handful of blood - the fox's blood.
Why...why is there a fox? Why did the fox save itself?
Ji Anni stared at the fiery red fox, as if she had seen it somewhere before...
Memories keep rewinding like a videotape, desperately searching for familiar scenes.
Suddenly, a picture froze in my mind!
That was the first day after Ji Anni was named Imperial Concubine. It was a scene when she returned to the East Concubine Palace and passed by her room.
When Ji Anni heard the sound of porcelain falling to the ground, she pushed the door open and rushed into the room desperately. She saw a few demon-removing incense sticks she got from Yun Zhen on the ground, and a furry shadow that looked like both a cat and a dog jumped out of the window.
Later Huarong told her that the shadow was neither a cat nor a dog, but a fox.
It was clearly just a quick glance at the time, but an inexplicable sense of familiarity kept telling Ji Anni that the fox that appeared in Dong Congfei Palace was the one that blocked the fatal sword for her today!
But why? Why would a fox appear in a place like this!
Ji Annie subconsciously reached out to grab the fox, but the fox nimbly avoided her and moved quickly on the execution platform.
The blood from the fox formed a strange pattern on the execution platform, like some kind of spell.
Ji Anni subconsciously looked at Yun Zhen, because she knew that Yun Zhen should know how to identify this kind of talisman.
As expected, Yun Zhen stared at the pattern drawn in blood, his face changed drastically, and he whispered three words in disbelief: "Thunder Curse..."
Suddenly, the sky darkened completely. Dark clouds quickly gathered from all directions and completely blocked out the sun's rays, leaving deep black shadows on the ground, shrouding everyone in heavy darkness.
It all happened so quickly that before anyone could react, several silver lights flashed in the dark clouds!
Then there were a few "crackling" sounds, and lightning quickly moved through the clouds like a snake!
Not only that, there were also bursts of muffled "rumbling" sounds coming from the clouds.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Yun Zhen shouted, and at the moment the thunder struck, he rushed towards Ji Anni with all his strength.
Almost at the same time, the execution platform was shattered into pieces by a huge thunder!
Ji Anni, Yun Zhen and Kang Xiaorong's bodies flew out like those broken woods and fell heavily to the ground.
After the lightning strike, the dark clouds dissipated and the sun shone brightly again.
Ji Anni raised her head in Yun Zhen's arms and looked around, searching for the red fox.
Suddenly, a scream was heard from the execution platform - it turned out that the red fox had jumped onto the execution platform!
The Prime Minister and the General Manager were so frightened that they quickly jumped off the stage. Only the Queen Mother was left staring into the eyes of the fox.
The fox did not attack the queen mother, but only gave her a warning with its eyes.
The Queen Mother subconsciously took two steps back, leaned against a huge pillar, took a deep breath, and never took her eyes off the fox. After a long time, her lips moved slightly twice, and she unconsciously uttered a word: "You..."
Her voice was so soft that no one could hear what she said - except the fox.
The fox did not respond at all, but turned around, jumped off the execution platform, and ran towards the woods nearby.
Wherever it ran, the guards were all scared and hid away, and no one dared to stand up to stop it.
“Stop! Stop! Stop!”
Ji Anni looked at the direction the fox fled and screamed. She tried hard to get up and try to chase it, but Yun Zhen held her tightly in his arms.
Seeing that the fox was about to disappear, Ji Anni pushed Yun Zhen away anxiously.
Suddenly, Yun Zhen uttered a dull "bind" and five golden lights emanated from Yun Zhen's hands.
The five golden lights were like a giant palm, weaving into a huge net in the air and pouncing towards the fox!
The fox was unable to escape and was caught in the golden net. It let out a shrill scream and struggled desperately in the net.
The giant net gradually shrank, like a hand that was constantly clenching, tightly wrapping the fox inside.
Amid the fox's struggling screams, a ball of red light lit up.
The fox's body was wrapped in the red light, which gradually expanded and stretched the golden net outward.
The golden light and the red light intertwined and entangled together, as if two ferocious beasts were fighting and biting each other.
"Yun Zhen? Yun Zhen?" Seeing Yun Zhen clenching his teeth and looking pale, Ji Anni supported him worriedly.
Ji Annie knew that Yun Zhen had almost exhausted all his strength to maintain the golden net.
If this continues, Yun Zhen’s injuries will probably become more and more serious.
At this time, Yun Zhen didn't care about his own injuries at all. It seemed that he had already made up his mind to fight to the death. He stared at the ball of fiery red light in the golden net and said in a deep voice: "It appeared... It finally appeared..."
Ji Anni seemed to suddenly understand something from Yun Zhen's serious and determined expression.
Could it be that... this fox is the monster hidden in the palace?
Could it be that... this fox was the murderer who cursed the real Zhao Ji to death that day?
Could it be that... this fox is one of the reasons causing the disorder of time and space?
Yun Zhen once said that in order to return to the original world, he must find this monster, fight with it again, and cause confusion in time and space.
Could it be that... the most crucial monster has finally appeared?
Ji Anni subconsciously raised her head and looked towards the sky...
I saw a white shadow slowly appearing near the sun... and then it slowly turned red...
It appeared...finally appeared, the red moon.
Just like when she traveled to this time and space, the red moon...
The red moon covers the sun. This is the name I gave to this scene.
The red moon eclipses the sun. Could it be that... time and space will be distorted again? Could it be that... the door back to the real world has been opened?
Could it be that... I can finally go back?
