A foggy village was what lay before Yuki’s eyes. Her third trial had now begun. But this was not just any village, but a village that she knew very well. It was her own. She looked at the familiar scene before her, and tears began streaming down her face. How much did she long to return home? She fell to her knees and looked at the houses that had not changed in the slightest and hoped that one day she could revive her village. Even if she could only find a few of her kin, she hoped that it could once more be reborn. 

She knew she would not be staying there. She knew that if she became powerful enough that her place was not for the mortal plane. She would keep growing in strength alongside the girl she loved and reach heights that would make it so she and Nana’s kind would never need to suffer again.

“I know this is hard.” The voice spoke up. “But this trial is needed for you to harden your resolve. This village is also my home village. I made this trial with the idea of the village I once watched over being destroyed by people with evil intentions. Little Fox…. Our clan, the Celestial Fox Clan, is hunted for our blood, especially by the pill sects who use our blood as materials. They will hang us up on hooks and slowly drain our blood. Never letting go of those they capture for hundreds of years when our time finally runs out. If our village has really been destroyed, then if you wish for revenge, then I would start my search with the alchemy sects. They will be the main culprits.” 

Yuki’s eyes widened upon hearing the voice’s words. This was the first clue she had gotten since she had escaped from the cave. “Alchemy sects…..” 

Killing intent burst out of Yuki. The grey and red smoke around her also shot up into the sky. “I need to become stronger. No matter what I need to do, I will do it. In order to wipe out those who wish to use my kin and others like my clan as a means to make their pills and other items, I am willing to turn into a demon.” 

Yuki was having a hard time controlling her emotions. Right at this moment, the only thing she wanted to do was slaughter. She now had a new mission. She wanted to wipe out all of the alchemy sects who use her kin, Nana’s kin, and those like them as nothing more than materials.

The voice sad no more, and the trial began. While Yuki was burning with rage, tens of thousands of humans suddenly stepped into the village with swords in their hands. “We can finally be free! As long as we kill this person, we can escape from this place!”

“Leave or die!” Yuki’s voice was devoid of emotion. Her eyes were cold as ice. She once again had no emotion on her face. She said one word before drawing her sword and stepping forward. At this moment, she was blinded by rage. She only wanted to kill those who dared to step inside her village uninvited.

The men and women in front of her held swords in their hands. Each one was looking at her with greed in their eyes. They did not feel fear when facing this young girl because this was their own chance. They had no idea how long they had been trapped in this place, but they knew one thing. If they killed this girl, they would get to leave at least, that was what the voice had said.

Yuki charged at them as they charged at her. She got within two arms’ length of the group before suddenly disappearing from their eyes, confusing those in front. “Where did she go!?”

“Ahh!” Someone screamed out, and then a thump was heard as a head flew through the air.  Yuki had kicked the head clean off the man’s body while using his headless body as a springboard. The head flew into a female cultivator, causing her to cry out in fright.

This was just the start of the blood bath. Soon blood flew through the sky. Spraying on the faces of those around them as Yuki used her movement technique combined with using the bodies that she beheaded as a means of moving even quicker while wasting as little qi as possible. Right now, she was in full rotations of her demonic qi and spiritual qi. They were both pouring out of her pressuring those around her as she danced over their heads, decapitating the souls caught in her reach.

Yuki did not seem to tire at all. Her body was now fully drenched in blood. Hour after hour, she hunted each one of these cultivators down. They were all in her cultivation range which made things much easier for her, but the thing that should have gotten to her was the thought of killing humans. But here she was, easily cutting their heads off. She did not go for any other body part. Just the heads. The humans who were now running for their lives were calling her a demon. 

As she killed, she also made sure to suck in all their souls, consuming them and gaining even more strength as she fought. What she found even more enticing was that the more souls she consumed, the more energy her body gained. The path of asura seemed to be perfect for her at this time as she danced barefoot in the blood of her enemies while using their souls as a means of nourishment.

She was like a bloody fairy who craved nothing but death for all living beings.
