Master Bai! This Celestial Fox Spirit Is Asking For Divorce

Chapter 225: Episode 20.11 Night Of Horrors

The assassins that Shen Yuan was crippled ultimately died after getting caught in the crossfire of the battle of S-class awakeners.

However, looking down below, these corpses with missing limbs, burns, and frostbite are crawling as though they regained their life.

The situation took a dark turn into that of a scene from a zombie apocalypse movie.

Not far from the small family, the layers of protective talismans that are protecting the villa crumble, and the Bai family’s men are desperately fending off the sluggish undead army who are armed with Mage Killer blades.

’No, they are not zombies for real,’ Shen Yuan thought in contrast to the initial notion. The filthy death energy from a malevolent demon spirit’s power that’s spreading in the earth below them gave him an idea of what was really going on.

"This must be the work of necromancy!" The celestial fox spirit blurted out, not hiding the distaste in his expression.

Necromancy is a dark art that uses mana to control the dead like a puppet.

That means that someone is controlling these corpses nearby.

Shen Yuan knew several vicious demon spirits who use such magical arts and there’s one thing that best describes them; they are disgusting sons of a bitch!

If fox spirits are known for threading the thin line between good and bad, then these demon spirits who practice necromancy are the incarnation of absolute evil!

They live off through the terror of their human victims and murder to strengthen their magical powers.

The pressing question now is, is the necromancer behind this incident an awakener who was granted the powers of a demon spirit or is it the demon spirit itself?

Shen Yuan doesn’t have an answer for this. However, he has this tingling feeling in his sphincter telling him that he knows what kind of demon spirit is attacking them.

’That little pussy cat!’

The celestial fox spirit conjured five orbs of heavenly foxfire of purification and targeted all of them to the reanimated corpses below. Heavenly foxfire of purification is the best counter against impure arts such as necromancy.

In a blink of an eye, the ethereal white flames swallowed the undead crowd, soliciting pained frightening moans from their pale lips.

Bai Tingfeng, who witnessed the work of necromancy for the first time, subconsciously pulled Shen Yuan closer, looking low-key spooked.

Meanwhile, Yanyan, whose sight was hindered by his daddy’s magic, accidentally heard the ghostly noise. The little boy crammed his tiny body in the space between his parents.

"D-daddy, w-what is that?"

Shen Yuan who found himself stuck in between the father and son had a blank expression.

’Like father, like son is real,’ he thought, deadpan.

"Those are enemies that Daddy needs to clean up," Shen Yuan explained to his son. He didn’t dare to go into details with the child since it is too scary for a toddler to handle. He then turned to his husband, "We need to go back to the villa. The people there are in great trouble."

As far as Shen Yuan knows from the manhua, "Their S-Class Affairs," this world knew nothing much about dark-attribute powers and curses.

Take the Mage Killer as an example, even the old Chairman Mao Huanlong failed to notice that curses are imbued in that blade.

Necromancy, on the other hand, is a foreign power. It is best described as a fantasy even in this world of awakened powers.

There was no known necromancer among the present population of awakeners to set as an example, hence the ignorant reaction of Bai Tingfeng is understandable.

If this S-class hunter who delved into the wide world of awakeners since he was young failed to recognize the necromancy, then that means the others are in big trouble.

In other words, Li An and the Bai family’s men are fucked with the capital F.

Shen Yuan and his little family rushed to the villa and there, he saw how the formerly victorious group was now struggling against the persistent attacks of the undead army.

Reanimated corpses are fearsome soldiers.

They don’t fear death, nor do they let pain stop them. Even with limbs cut off, they continuously seek their target. Now with Mage Killer in their hands, their lethality and danger level leaped to several bounds!

It is no surprise that the protective talisman that covers the entire villa was destroyed.

"Shit! What on earth is happening now? We already killed them! Ugh!" Li An exasperatedly yelled at the top of his lungs.

His spear skewered one of the undead assassins straight in the chest. But even with this fatal wound, the assassin remained struggling with great strength!

Qin Mian, who is in the same bleak situation, responded, "These guys are acting like zombies in the movies! What if we tried to sever their heads?"

Li An and the others had goosebumps when they heard this.

Shooting an enemy with a gun or awakened powers and slashing or stabbing in the viral parts is one thing, but severing a human head is another!

They might kill assassins in self-defense tonight but that doesn’t mean they are unnerved enough to commit such an atrocious act! But on the other hand, they are aware that if they didn’t try methods to deal with these moving corpses, then they would be as good as dead meat.

Li An grits his teeth as he is stuck in a dilemma. However, he isn’t a top agent from Hunter Association for nothing, at the drop of the hat, he already steeled himself to decide.

"Let’s try it! Hack these bastards’ necks!"

Boom!

Right after Li An said those words, an overwhelming number of white fireballs came raining down on the undead assassins.

Li An and others alertly took a step back for fear that they would get caught in that barrage of vicious-looking flames. But to their surprise, it wasn’t even hot when it accidentally touched them!

If they didn’t see the reanimated corpses writhing in pain and dropping back to the ground— dead, then they would have thought that it was an illusion.

"Wait, this special fame— Master Shen!"

The haggard men instinctively looked up where the white fire originated. And they are not mistaken, they saw Shen Yuan floating with Bai Tingfeng and his son.

"Good job holding out this far, everyone. But this one shall be handled by yours truly," Shen Yuan declared in a firm, clear voice as he slowly descended with his family.

Upon touching the ground, he handed their son to his husband.

"Do you really have to fight on your own? I can lend you a hand," Bai Tingfeng told his husband as he instinctively held Yanyan in his arms.

Shen Yuan quickly shook his head, "I appreciate the offer, but it is my time to shine, Tingfeng. Just stay here and rest with Yanyan. I will come back before you even know it."

"But Yuan—" Bai Tingfeng tried to reason out again only to be silenced by Shen Yuan’s finger.

"Shhh. I know it looks dangerous because of their numbers but believe me when I tell you this: I am their weakness."

This isn’t arrogance on Shen Yuan’s part, rather it was his confidence in his speaking.

"Besides, these undead army were trash once I killed their commander."

"Commander?" Bai Tingfeng confusedly echoed. The alpha wanted to convince Shen Yuan more but seeing the firmness in his husband’s eye, he ultimately took a step back.

He also realized that Shen Yuan’s decision was also the best for their son.

Yanyan’s safety is guaranteed with him around and also, the little boy needs a distraction to avoid seeing the traumatizing sight of walking dead people.

Bai Tingfeng took a deep breath and let Shen Yuan go with a sweet kiss on the forehead.

Li An and the others who were fearing for their life just a moment ago were speechless.

Are S-class awakeners so powerful that time and situation don’t matter to them when expressing their love for each other? They are all single dogs here who just narrowly avoided getting mauled by zombies, come on!

Oblivious of the other grown-ups’ sentiments, Yanyan also kissed Shen Yuan on his cheeks. "Be safe out there, Daddy."

Now finally recharged, Shen Yuan rushed out at the speed of a fired bullet.

The celestial fox spirit leaves blazing trails of white flames that engulf the filthy corpses. He instantly turned the surroundings into hell— a hell that only perished the moving corpses.

"Holy—" Qin Mian almost cursed out loud when he witnessed this overwhelming display of strength. "In just an instant... Master Shen obliterated that mob of zombies in an instant! Even the Mage Killer couldn’t do anything to that fire!"

Bai Tingfeng, on the side, subconsciously popped his chest with pride.

"That much is a child’s play to my husband."

"Now, where is that fucking son of a bitch, that little pussy?" On the other side, the celestial fox spirit uttered through gritted teeth.

His eyes are sharply scanning the traces of the necromancer.

To control the corpses, the necromancer uses a thin string of mana like a puppet string. It is invisible to bare eyes and perfectly undetectable even to most sensitive mages.

However, for Shen Yuan who is familiar with demon spirits and reached the peak among all fox spirits, tracing these fine mana fibers is possible.

"I just need to follow where the strings merge and that is where the troublesome little pussy is hiding!"

Shen Yuan’s electric blue eyes glowed brighter as he thickened his focus. It looked like the leering eye of a vicious predator.

"Come out! Come out! Wherever you are, bitch!" Shen Yuan mockingly called.

And it seems like he isn’t the only one who’s looking forward to meeting his enemy because when he was absorbed in following the trails, an ominous breeze blew on his blind spot.

For whatever reason, he felt death creeping from this direction. If he moves a beat late, he feels like his head will roll on the ground.

Thus, Shen Yuan’s combat instinct kicked in, and immediately countered the foreseen incoming invisible attack with the crystal ball.

Clack!

A sharp resounding sound echoed in the night when a sharp metallic object clashed against the crystal.

At this time, Shen Yuan no longer needs to look for the controller of the corpses. For it is standing right before him. In the form of a one-meter-tall, black cat with a splitting tail.

"Oh, find you. You fucking cat demon," The celestial fox spirit spit his most genuine greetings. "I was looking for you because I am planning to cut the tails of a disgusting nekomata."
