Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System-Chapter 648 - 648: Voidfrost

The fox fought back.
Two tails whipped around Saryx's front legs and tightened like bindings.
The fox pulled, trying to drag him down.
The other tails lashed his wings and neck, keeping his balance unstable.
Saryx roared and tore free with brute force.
The moment he broke the bind, the fox was already there.
Its jaws snapped again, aiming for the same spot on his throat.
CLANG!!!
Saryx's aura surged and tried to shred it. The white flame surged back.
Alex watched the fight, amazed.
"What is this, a kaiju fight?"
"Kaiju?" Mingyue asked back, then looked at the clash.
"It seems so, It really does look like those fights."
As they watched, Mingyue suggested, "How about we send two other foxes from my ice swords?"
"In that case, your swords will be destroyed," Alex said.
He explained quickly that the lingering souls inside their weapons were weak.
In the past, he had already tried to give the fox a real body and effectively resurrect it, but it was impossible because the soul was too weak.
"The fire fox is fighting its last battle," Alex said.
"After this fight, it will dissipate."
Mingyue frowned. She had already gotten attached to the pair of foxes.
Even though she rarely took them out now, since the battles were far above their strength, she still fond of them.
Alex poured more lifeforce, as much as the fox could sustain.
The fox was the only thing that could keep Saryx pinned in place.
Mingyue wiped blood from the corner of her mouth.
Purple ice gathered around her blades again.
The lotus patterns under her feet spun faster, and the air around her started to stiffen.
Saryx's claws dug into the ground.
The air around his body shuddered, and the violent aura thickened until it looked like a dark haze coming out from his scales.
The fox dashed again.
Saryx met it with a headbutt.
BOOM!!!
The impact shook the clearing.
The fox's skull snapped back, flames scattering like sparks, and the soul body flickered for a moment.
Alex's He pushed more lifeforce into the rune, forcing the fox's outline to stabilize.
Saryx did not let it recover.
His claw came down and pinned the fox's shoulder.
His other claw raked across its ribs.
The violent aura surged along his talons, trying to peel the whiteflame apart.
The fox roared and twisted, nine tails whipping like chains.
Two tails wrapped around Saryx's wrist and yanked, trying to pull his claw off.
Another tail slammed into his jaw.
Saryx's scales sparked.
He snarled and drove his head forward.
CRACK!!!
His horns slammed into the fox's chest, and the fox was forced back.
Saryx stepped in, He bit down on a tail and tore it apart.
The tail did not bleed, but the white flame burst apart, and the fox's body flickered, like it was about to collapse.
Alex's face tightened. He poured lifeforce again, but he could feel the limit.
The fox soul were on the verge of collapsing.
The fox did not retreat.
It moved forward anyway, jaws snapping at Saryx's neck, using everything it had left.
Its flames turned brighter, denser, just like a candle shining brighter before it got snuffed out.
CLANG!!!
Teeth scraped scales.
Saryx's violent aura surged and pressed down.
The fox's body trembled.
Its nine tails flared, then tightened around Saryx's torso like a net, forcing its full weight into the bind.
The ground under them cracked.
For a breath, Saryx's movement slowed.
Mingyue's eyes sharpened. She see the opportunity.
The purple ice she gathered has condensed to it's possible peak.
The air in front of her stiffened as she prepared to strike.
She let out a slow breath than make her move.
Saryx felt it and twisted his neck toward her.
His claws tried to tear the fire fox off, but the nine tails tightened like a net and forced his chest down.
BOOM!!!
Saryx's violent aura surged and shook the bind.
The fox's body flickered again, white flame scattering, but it did not let go.
Mingyue appeared at Saryx's flank and slashed upward.
A thin purple line stayed in the air after her blade passed, and the line turned solid like frozen glass.
CLANG!!!
Saryx's wing hit that line. His movement stuttered for a fraction of a second, like his wing had slammed into a wall.
Mingyue followed with her second sword.
She aimed for the seam under his ribs.
Saryx's violent aura surged to disperse it.
The ice started to crumble, but the space cut stayed for an instant longer and left a shallow gash.
Saryx roared and tried to turn his whole body.
The fox dragged him down again, claws carving trenches as it used its full weight to keep him from moving.
Mingyue did not stop.
She cut again, then again, each slash leaving a purple line that hung in the air.
The lines formed a cage around Saryx's shoulders and wings, forcing his movements to pass through frozen space.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
Saryx's aura exploded outward and shattered two lines.
Mingyue's frowned as the backlash hit her arms, but she forced more lifeforce in and rebuilt the lines in the same breath.
Her lotus patterns spun faster under her feet.
Then they rose off the ground, turning into floating lotus seals that rotated around Saryx like a ring.
"Voidfrost Lotus Array," Mingyue said. "Lock."
The lotus seals snapped inward.
The space around Saryx's torso stiffened.
Just enough that his violent aura had to fight the lock before it could reach Mingyue's blades.
Saryx's eyes turned colder.
He flexed his muscles and forced his wings open.
The lock creaked, and several lotus seals cracked, purple frost bursting off them like shattered ice.
The fire fox howled and tightened its bind again.
White flame surged brighter, and one tail snapped into sparks, then regrew thinner, like it was burning its own core to keep holding.
Mingyue saw it and moved even faster.
She slipped to Saryx's back and drove both swords down toward the base of his neck.
Her blades did not aim to cut deep.
They aimed to plant two frozen voidlotus into his spine.
CLANG!!!
Saryx twisted at the last moment. The hit slid, sparks flying, and Mingyue's boots skidded across his scales as his aura tried to peel her ice apart.
