The nine-tailed fox demon gazed at the sword formed by hundreds of sword shadows, with demon breath surging wildly within her body. Behind her, the nine tails were growing rapidly, completely enveloping her.

Cao Zhen's sword, as if capable of destroying heaven and earth, descended, feeling as though it was striking into a pile of cotton with nowhere to exert its force. Simultaneously, waves of force constantly attacked, reducing the power of his sword.

Even so, the sword's power remained terrifying.

However, after a brief moment, under the impact of the sword qi, all nine fox tails were flung away.

"Pfft..."

The nine-tailed fox demon spat a mouthful of crimson blood, her body flying backward. An expression of paleness appeared on her beautiful face, and her eyes were filled with horror.

She had never imagined facing an opponent of the same cultivation realm, she could be injured in just two moves.

Cao Zhen looked at the nine-tailed fox demon sent flying away, slightly nodded imperceptibly, and softly praised, "Indeed, an opponent from the 480-zhang Immortal Mountain is different. After two swords, I've only injured you and not severely wounded you.

You are the only opponent I've ever not killed or severely injured after striking with two full-force swords."

The nine-tailed fox demon's face showed a hint of self-mockery upon hearing this: "So can I take it as a compliment from you?"

As she spoke, her eyes, filled with endless allure, glanced at Cao Zhen.

Among the demon clan, the fox monsters' physical bodies were not only weak but among the weakest.

And their Five Elements Techniques, at best, could be said to be average, yet they are always among the top ten strong clans of the demon clan because of their Charm Technique.

The human opposite seemed to be certain of his victory, even stopping the attack to converse with her, giving her the perfect opportunity to use her Charm Technique.

An unseen and untouchable demon aura shot out, instantly entering Cao Zhen's forehead.

Cao Zhen immediately felt his mind shaking violently, followed by the frantic surge of the Age of Prosperity Qi within his body.

In less than the time of a breath, the demon breath that entered his body was completely dissipated without a trace.

After releasing the Charm Technique, the nine-tailed fox demon did not continue to attack but turned and flew towards the distance. The opponent was a presence at the peak of the Immortal Path Domain. Even if her Charm Technique could incapacitate him, it wouldn't last long, nor could it reverse her defeat.

Her goal was simply to escape.

This time, she was really careless. Previously, when she discovered this human, she was genuinely curious about what this human wanted to do.

She had no concern that the opponent would be adverse to her!

She was a being whose Immortal Mountain had reached 480 zhang; there weren't many opponents in the world now.

But who knew she'd encounter a presence at the peak of the Immortal Path Domain?

Now, she could only choose to escape.

But, just as she turned around, her eyes suddenly widened in disbelief, gazing ahead of her.

That human was now standing right in front of her.

"You... you're actually unaffected."

The nine-tailed fox demon looked at the human before her, unable to comprehend. She knew the opponent's cultivation was high, but no matter how high, against a soul-targeting attack like hers, which was a top-level Fox clan technique of the Mysterious Rank.

No matter how strong the opponent is, they are still in the Immortal Path Domain and have not yet reached the Immortality Regainment Realm.

Even if the opponent were in the Immortality Regainment Realm, without caution, they would be affected. How could he, standing before her, be entirely unaffected?

Cao Zhen looked at the astonished nine-tailed fox demon, with a face of inscrutable mystery, "Strange, isn't it? Can't figure out why I'm unaffected? In truth, your attack was quite good, it even made me feel its presence."

He truly discovered that soul-based attacks didn't seem to have much effect on him.

Even back in the ruins, the black qi affecting the mind was quickly expelled by the Age of Prosperity Qi after entering his body.

Though he did not know why the Age of Prosperity Qi could counteract soul-targeting attacks, it didn't prevent him from acting enigmatic.

Cao Zhen, as if looking at a sacrificial lamb, gazed at the nine-tailed fox demon across from him, "Do you have any other methods? If not, I'll give you a suggestion, bind your own hands. After all, whether you struggle or not, you'll be captured by me. Rather than getting hurt, you might as well obediently bind yourself."

"Why do you want to bind me?" the nine-tailed fox demon quickly shook her head and said, "You should see, I harbor no ill will towards you, I..."

Before she finished her sentence, her voice abruptly stopped, as before her eyes, in the human's hand, clusters of violet lightning were converging, ready to crash down in the next moment.

"No need to do anything." The nine-tailed fox demon quickly extended her hands, "I yield."

If she could escape, she would naturally resist, but the problem was she had just fought back and realized she was far from being the opponent's match. Given this, as the human opposite said, the outcome of resisting or not is the same — being captured by the opponent. So why resist?

Moreover, this place is indeed remote, unlikely any clan members would arrive shortly. Even if some arrived, how could they be a match for a peak presence of the Immortal Path Domain? So she wisely chose to surrender.
