The Black Bear Monster's Wolf Fang Club was hidden behind the boulder, and no sooner had the Nine-tailed Fox shattered the boulder than his Wolf Fang Club followed closely behind. The Nine-tailed Fox had no time to dodge and took a solid hit. Blood gushed from her left shoulder, instantly staining a swath of her coat red.
The Nine-tailed Fox didn't make a sound, having taken a hit to the shoulder, but she didn't let the Black Bear Monster get the better of her—she managed to slash at the arm of the Black Bear Monster with her sword. In pain, the Black Bear Monster temporarily retreated.
"Xiaoqian! What's so good about this pretty boy? Why do you like him instead of me? I've pursued you for over two hundred years, why won't you ever give me a chance?"
The Black Bear Monster's howls of frustration scared the roosting crows on the tree branches so much that they flew away, flapping their wings in terror.
