Master Bai! This Celestial Fox Spirit Is Asking For Divorce

Chapter 278: Episode 25.9 Breathing Disaster

Things aren’t looking too good for Bai Tingfeng.

Earlier, they had already braced for the possibility that a dungeon boss appeared in the originally boss-less Newtian Marsh. However, they didn’t expect the monster to appear as an S-class boss.

There were only a few known S-class boss levels in history, and most of them appeared during the Great Cataclysm or at the start of the era of awakened hunters.

These monsters can raze two cities to the ground in a single night— a breathing natural disaster!

They are feared.

They are targets of great infamy. The major villains in biographical movies of famous, powerful hunters.

And the Eight-Headed Hydra for possessing eight different natural disaster-like powers in each head. Fire, water, ice, thunder, poison, wind, metal, and plasma, all of these are Eight-Headed Hydra’s powers.

Catastrophic, right?

"Is this real? Not an illusion?" The agent who asked this is shaking to the core. The spawning of S-class boss monsters is very rare, to the point that there has been no known S-class boss for the past ten years. But what is happening now?

That is a live Eight-Headed Hydra! The last appearance of this beast was fifty years ago!

Nobody issued an order, but it seems like everyone silently agreed not to engage in a fight with the monster. They are silent and still wherever they are.

"Guild master, I think we must retreat in the meantime," Assistant Su whispered to Bai Tingfeng.

Facing such monstrosity head-on is equal to a suicide attempt!

Majority of the hunters and agents on their sides are B-class awakeners, then five A-class awakeners, including him! Their team composition isn’t suited to fight against the Eight-Headed Hydra.

"Su Yifan," Bai Tingfeng called his assistant’s name with such weight and pressure. Assistant Su reflexively stiffened.

"Do you know what it means to retreat from here?"

The alpha assistant lowered his head. He can understand what his boss is pointing out.

This means they are throwing away all the hard work they did earlier and forsaking the lives of thousands and millions.

Yes, they killed as many lizardmen monsters as possible, which pulled the dungeon’s mana concentration level down to a certain point. However, with the presence of a gigantic mana-diffusing device and the S-class boss monster, it will only be a matter of time before the Newtian Marsh dungeon breaks, for these two will continuously push the mana level up.

Therefore, running away does not guarantee their safety. It will also put City B at risk of getting destroyed.

"But..." Assistant Su knows these facts, but he can’t dredge up the courage to say that the best action is slaying the monster right here.

"We must kill it to stop the dungeon from breaking. That is the only way," Bai Tingfeng said, determined.

"Guild master!" The hunters around him looked at him wide-eyed. Such a brash decision! Is Bai Tingfeng okay?!

"Master Bai! I hate to break this to you, but it’s impossible to single-handedly slay that hydra, even if it’s you. The last Eight-Headed Hydra that appeared fifty years ago was only slayed thanks to the collaborative efforts of four S-class awakeners!" The agent from Hunter Association said. "But if Master Shen is here... With his flames, I think he can burn the armor like scales of the hydra while you—"

"Admiral Wu Jin of the navy is also here. If we call them for backup, we probably stand a chance."

Hunters and agents alike poured in ideas on how to defeat the Eight-Headed Hydra. But Bai Tingfeng filled them in with the bad news.

"Currently, Shen Yuan is fighting with the S-class necromancer of the Cardinals."

Everyone’s collective gasps were heard. So, it was the Cardinal’s fault then!

"Those fuckers are crazy!" One hunter couldn’t help but curse. "Is this what they want? Let a breathing catastrophe roam free?!"

Everyone mirrored those statements in their hearts.

"We can try to ask Wu Jin for backup," Bai Tingfeng continued. "However, we can’t really rely on his help. The Cardinals are probably up to something outside."

The hard truth finally dawned upon them. They are alone in this battle.

"Kiik!" Suddenly, a cute shrill sound disturbed the depressing atmosphere.

It’s the flaming baby fox.

Seeing the summon of his husband, Bai Tingfeng remembered something important.

"Right, we are not in a helpless situation. We still have each other," Bai Tingfeng told his hunters. "If you trust me, I ask you to support me from the distance as I try to slay the hydra myself."

"Guild master!" Su Yifan immediately protested.

"I know it is a suicide mission and that monster," Bai Tingfeng pointed at the hydra whose eight necks are all wrapping around the mana-diffusing device. "Can kill me. However, I will not die. I will make sure not to die."

Monsters love to be around things with a lot of mana, and that device is like a toy for the frightening hydra. Bai Tingfeng could use that device to his advantage.

"Kiik!" The little fox brushed its body against Bai Tingfeng’s cheek as if saying, "Don’t worry. With me here, you’re safe."

"Can you lend me a hand, little fox?" Bai Tingfeng asked.

Of course, the foxfire beast nodded while sporting a mischievous smirk.

Unlike these human hunters, the foxfire beast is not afraid of dying in the fangs of this Eight-Headed Hydra. Why should it be afraid when this isn’t its first rodeo with powerful opponents?

The little fox is an experienced fighter, and under the wings of the celestial fox spirit, it fought or sparred with a lot of powerful great spirits back in the spirit realm: Bakeneko, nekomata, the azure dragon, and even the Baihu itself.

This Eight-Headed Hydra pales in comparison if they are talking about these great spirits.

For the little fox, this massive monster is no different from a baby.

It can play around with this big baby just fine.

Besides, if a mistake is made, the little fox’s body gets destroyed, but that doesn’t mean it will die.

The foxfire beasts’ consciousness will always return to Shen Yuan’s tails, available for summoning anytime.

"Kiiik! Kiiik! Kiik!" The little fox rubbed its head against Bai Tingfeng’s face.

’If it’s you, I am willing to sacrifice my body, Daddy!’ The direct translation of its noise.

Seeing their Guild master’s strong will, the hunters of Baihu Guild joined their fists together and decided to support Bai Tingfeng’s plan. Having been inspired by Bai Tingfeng’s passionate words, the agents also decided to join in.

Of course, Bai Tingfeng didn’t forget to look for an extra way out. He sent a few agents to exit the dungeon and urgently contact the headquarters for more backup.

"Everyone, ready?" Bai Tingfeng asked them.

Assistant Su and the others nodded. "Yes, Guild master."

"Don’t hold back just because of friendly fire. It’s me you’re assisting. I can fight while dodging your ranged attacks." Bai Tingfeng said for the last time before he headed to where the S-class boss was.

"Kiiik!" The little fox let out a cry of excitement as it jumped off Bai Tingfeng’s shoulders.

Like a bullet, it then charged toward the Eight-Headed Hydra.

"Arghhh!" The massive monster immediately roared at the sight of the little foxfire beast. It still remembers the little rascal who stole its precious toy.

"It turns out the summoned being is the same as the master. You and Shen Yuan had the talent to rile up your enemy," Bai Tingfeng whispered, shaking his head.

Not to be outdone, the S-class alpha also materialized his aura and coated it on his sword.

"I promised to control my power usage, but it seemed like I had to break that," Bai Tingfeng uttered through gritted teeth. "I will make you pay for this."

Slash!

Without inhibitions and hesitation, Bai Tingfeng struck the hydra’s tough scale.

Ting!

"Arghhhh!" The Eighth-Headed Hydra roared angrily. Two enemies, both big and small, are getting on its nerves.

The Eight-Headed Hydra’s necks quickly slithered off the mana-diffusing device, leaving it alone. Then, one of its ugly heads opened its mouth and spewed a long jet of raging flames.

"Kiik!" The little foxfire beast effortlessly climbed on it, looking goading and unimpressed simultaneously.

Then, as if to teach the monster a lesson, the fiery foxfire beast dredges fire from its belly and then spat little bluish-white fireballs one after another.

Those fireballs may be small, but each of them carries the power of the Heavenly Foxfire of Shen Yuan.

Boom! Boom! Hisss~

Successive explosions are heard before the sound of burning flesh comes through. Following it is the bombardment of awakened powers by the hunters from the distance.

Boom! Boom!

"Araghhhh!" The hydra cried in pain. Unlucky monster, its suffering didn’t end there because Bai Tingfeng follows shortly.

"Ha!" Bai Tingfeng didn’t choose which head he should harvest. Instead, he utilized all the mana he could control and created the longest and biggest mana sword he could make.

Then, after a mighty leap, Bai Tingfeng slashed four necks simultaneously. His aura sword, as sharp and aggressive as ever, managed to behead all four heads.

Thud!

"Holy shit. I almost forgot that our guild master is a monster himself!" One hunter exclaimed in wonder.

Assistant Su also silently sighs. He also forgot that his boss’s aura, Perpetual Light, is considered one of the most powerful aura swords not only in Country C but the whole world!

"With this, maybe we can slay this S-class boss monster!" He blurted out, excited.

However, Bai Tingfeng’s opinion begs to differ. Destroying five heads at this same time simply won’t kill it. This is a hydra they are facing.

"Damn," Bai Tingfeng cursed at the wind as he watched the five injured necks grow fresh sets of heads. A stifling feeling squeezed his chest. He has a strong feeling that he will need more power from Baihu now than ever before.
