But this thing has a certain effect against demon beasts.
Demon beasts have more powerful bodies compared to humans, but their brains don’t work well, meaning their spiritual power is much weaker.
With weak spiritual power, relying solely on their eyes makes them easily affected by the fog.
Even if it can’t completely affect them, it’s enough to prevent a larger number of demon beasts from directly overwhelming them.
So he plans to have the two people’s magic collide, instantly creating fog to first impact the large number of little demons.
"Second step, we will split up and quickly hunt down the hiding Demon King."
Shen Wang’s second step is simple; as long as the ordinary demon beasts are affected, they can rush out to find the Yellow Fox Demon King and disrupt the formation.
Li Zhibin replied, "There’s a problem with doing that. Once we separate, we’ll definitely be destroyed one by one; if any one of us dies, our strength will decrease."
"If we don’t do that, how can we avoid the influence of so many demon beasts? The key is how to catch that cunning fox?"
Shen Wang retorted, "We can split into two teams: you with them, and I with Silver Moon. This way, even if we encounter danger, we can cope for a while."
Li Zhibin pondered for a moment and shook his head, "I think that’s still not enough. Ordinary fog has limited impact; the key is that fox is too cunning, and it might not be easy to catch him quickly."
"That’s where my third method comes in."
Shen Wang smiled, "I can lock onto his position; no matter where he hides, I’ll inform you."
"You can lock onto his position?"
Li Zhibin was skeptical, "This guy’s spiritual power isn’t weak; we’ve tried to use spiritual thought to lock his position several times, but he dodged it and can influence our thoughts, making us hallucinate and unable to lock onto him."
Silver Moon nodded in agreement, "He’s right. The Yellow Fox Demon King knows some illusion-type divine techniques; if not for this skill, despite so many demon beasts, we would have killed them long ago."
"Illusion-type skills? I should be able to lock onto him too; it just depends on whether you’re willing to try."
Shen Wang was curious as this was his first encounter with such a Demon King.
"We can’t take risks with you; you need to explain how you can lock onto his position."
Li Zhibin expressed dissatisfaction.
If they split up, they would face greater danger, and continuing as they were could help them hold on longer. Who wants to take a risk if they can avoid it?
"I have some experience with Gu poison, so I can determine his position. Is that satisfying enough for you?"
Shen Wang casually gave an excuse.
Actually, he didn’t have any Gu insects for tracking, relying entirely on the Tai Chi Yin Yang Mirror.
As long as the fox is within yin and yang, it can’t escape the Tai Chi Yin Yang Mirror’s detection.
"I can vouch for him; he does have some expertise in this area."
Silver Moon helped, "Everyone’s consumption is considerable; we can’t afford to keep dragging it out. It’s time to take the risk and try; if it succeeds, we’ll at least be able to escape the demon beasts here and get more time to recuperate."
Faces of Li Zhibin and the others changed, mainly because they were unfamiliar with Shen Wang and cautious in taking risks.
The issue was that if they didn’t act, they might not be able to hold out until reinforcements arrived or kill that fox.
He looked at the cultivator from the Pill Alliance, "What’s your view?"
"Senior Li, I’m inclined to give it a try." The Pill Alliance cultivator said earnestly.
Actually, the one who consumed the most energy was him, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator. If not for some elixirs and spirit fruits to replenish his strength, he might not have been able to hold on.
If this continues and his strength is depleted, others might also struggle to defend themselves, and he could be the first to die.
Considering his situation, taking the risk to kill the Demon King quickly and escape was his optimal choice.
The cultivator from Lingxi Sect also nodded, "I’m willing to follow the arrangements."
Seeing both agreed, Li Zhibin couldn’t say much more, "Let’s give it a try then; hope it works so we can escape."
In the demon beast horde, yellow-glowing eyes stared at them.
It sneered, "Cunning humans, you won’t escape here!"
Its eyes emitted a hazy yellow glow, immediately igniting around Shen Wang as though a sea of fire appeared out of nowhere.
Shen Wang’s eyes flashed brilliantly, instantly discerning this was an illusion.
"So this is illusion divine techniques? Quite interesting."
He curiously sensed as influences of peculiar spiritual power twisted his perceptions, causing differences in what he saw, heard, and felt.
With a chuckle, his expression turned serious, "Everyone, proceed according to plan."
The cultivator from Lingxi Sect and the one from Pill Alliance exchanged looks, simultaneously releasing their specialties.
The former formed seals, conjuring a spread of ice spikes flying in all directions.
Fire ignited on the latter, a vast sea of flame rushed out swiftly.
As fire and ice spikes made contact, copious steam evaporated, then condensed into fog.
When fire meets ice attribute power, steam rapidly condenses into fog.
Fog enveloped positions where the two released magic, blinding nearby demon beasts.
At this, Shen Wang and others split up, using fog cover to dash into the demon beast horde towards the Yellow Fox Demon King.
"Minions, kill anyone who gets close."
Aware of Shen Wang’s intent, the Yellow Fox Demon King shrieked, quickly responding.
Yet most demon beasts couldn’t see clearly, chaos ensued, like headless flies darting around.
The initial encirclement broke, disrupting the formation.
"Such cunning humans!"
Seeing this, the Yellow Fox Demon King cursed, detecting danger, plunged into the earth.
Yellow light flickered, it vanished underground.
"Earth escape too, indeed challenging to kill."
Detecting this, Shen Wang maintained position lock.
Surprisingly found it cheeky, not fleeing outwards but moving underground towards them.
Shen Wang slashed downward.
Several unlucky demons and ground split, startling the Yellow Fox Demon King, quickly dodging.
Yet underground lacked agility, tail severed, it screamed.
Silver Moon reacted, casting Full Moon down.
Suddenly, yellow glow emerged, Full Moon skewed, piercing a demon beast nearby.
Shen Wang sensed Silver Moon’s attack shifted while nearing the Yellow Fox Demon King unable to hit.
"Illusion divine techniques can do this!"
Shen Wang was enlightened, thankfully endured hallucination tests, not affected, second slash fell.

Shen Wang persisted in pursuit, slashes tearing the ground.
Fleeing underground, the Yellow Fox Demon King was shocked, "How can he track me?"
Unable to dodge below, hurriedly changed direction, speed increased shockingly.
A sword hum, sharp Sword Qi descended like a light, terrifying the Yellow Fox Demon King, narrowly evading.
Shen Wang jibed, glimpsed fog, "You weren’t wise getting close."
Stepped forth, appearing above the Yellow Fox Demon King, stabbed downward.
Yellow light intensified, amidst a powerful wave, Shen Wang’s surroundings twisted, dipping back into illusion.
He stabbed empty, surprised.
Actually affected too, this fox had its merit.
