Enter Chang Xiangsi and help Jingzhai fight

Tu Shanjing used his spiritual power to defend himself, but unexpectedly the sword broke through his defense formation with great force.

He dodged, avoiding the sword tip but not the edge of the spiritual light. He vomited blood and fell backwards to the ground.

My eyes were bloodshot, I pushed myself up onto the platform, waved my palms at Gui Fangqian and said, "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!"

Gui Fangqian subconsciously blocked, but no attack came. He angrily said, "You lied again!"

After saying this, he raised the sword high up. The sword had a green edge and was filled with spiritual energy, gathering like lightning.

I shouted again: "Rain of pear blossom needles!"

He sneered: "Stop it! If you had it earlier, why didn't you -"

There was a flash of silver light, and all the Torrential Pear Blossom Needles pierced into his body, and he fell backwards with a bang.

I stepped forward and kicked his sword aside, then kicked his hand. I saw that he was motionless with his eyes closed. I thought that he had been poisoned by the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles and had died.

I hurriedly turned around to help Tu Shanjing, but as soon as I took a step, a strong force grabbed my ankle, pulled me down, and pulled me down again. I felt like I had flown off the platform.

That damn feeling of being stuck in mid-air is back.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed my right wrist, and I didn't fall off the platform, but my chest hit the stone wall and it hurt.

I looked up and saw Tu Shanjing holding the side of the platform with his right hand, his entire upper body leaning out, and his left hand tightly holding me.

I shouted "Behind me!" and raised my left hand to shoot out six ice arrows, all of which shot into Gui Fangqian's eyes.

At the same time, Tu Shanjing transformed a short sword into his left hand and threw it backwards without looking back, and then his whole body fell down.

In the air, he stepped on the stone wall to gain leverage and threw me back to the platform, while he himself fell down.

With a thump, I fell back to the ground on the platform. But I ignored the pain and quickly got up, clinging to the edge of the platform and crying, "Master!"

A nine-tailed white fox stood on the ground in a playful manner. His entire body was snow-white, with only a few black hairs above his right eye. He looked at me with his black pupils and raised his chin.

I breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to look, but Gui Fangqian was no longer on the platform.

A tailless white fox was lying on the ground with its back facing up, a dagger stuck in its chest, and blood soaked its white fur.

"I didn't expect that his original form was a nine-tailed fox." Tu Shanjing's voice sounded behind him.

In the corner of my eye, two pointed ears first appeared, and then he walked over with graceful steps, walked around the pool of blood, and sat on a clean open space. Nine tails stood up behind him, like a white peacock spreading its tail, or like thousands of waves stirred up by waves hitting the rocks on the seashore.

"Sir, are you okay?!" Although I was surprised by what I heard, it was far less than my worry about him, so I walked over in two or three steps, squatted down, stretched out my hand, and touched his neck like a cat or a dog. Ah, it was just as I imagined, so soft and furry.

He shuddered and dodged slightly, looking at me with a pair of fox eyes, and said: "It's okay... Aren't you curious about why he, a member of the Guifang family, has fox blood? As far as I know, his father, the son of the third uncle mentioned by Guifang, married a concubine of the Guifang family. How could they give birth to a person with fox blood? I'm afraid he had lost seven tails before he had nine tails, and we killed him twice today, so he is finally gone."

I couldn't help but raise my hand and stroke his fluffy tail again, saying, "Is it inherited from the previous generation? Or is he an illegitimate child? In any case, he is dead now. Should we bury him here, or take him out to give an explanation to the Guifang family?"

He turned back into human form, looked at me and asked, "Why aren't you afraid now? Normally, you get scared when you hear about killing chickens and sheep."

I felt a little regretful that I didn't pinch the tip of his ears, and replied, "Now that he is not in human form, I am not that scared. When you kill chickens and sheep, you see them jumping around, and then blood splatters on the spot. You are scared but you can't bear it. Now this bald-butt fox was holding a sword to stab you. If you die, I will die too, so I am not afraid of him. I am a little glad, after all, it is him who will die and not us."

Tu Shanjing stretched out his hand to pull me up from the ground, and sighed: "I can take care of the Guifang family later. But the treasures of these four great families," he pointed to the wooden box that was burned to ashes, and continued: "Only this sword is left, and everything else was burned. I don't know how to explain it."

I smiled and said, "Sir, since they haven't come to look for it for so many years, it means that this treasure is fine with or without it. Since it's fine without it, then they probably won't care when it disappeared. Why don't we just keep the sword secretly? If you don't tell me and I don't tell anyone, then no one will know, right?"

Tu Shanjing bent down, picked up the sword, and looked at it in silence for a while.

I also leaned over to take a look, and saw that the sword had a green edge and a white blade. Apart from being extremely sharp, it had no decorations at all. Near the hilt, there was a winding snake that went all the way around the hilt. There were three crooked characters engraved on the hilt, and I only recognized the last one, "sword".

I picked up the scabbard beside me and saw that there was a snake coiled on it like the hilt of a sword. The scabbard was simple and the snake's body was pure gold. Even the scales on the snake's body were carved very finely.

"Sir, what is the name of this sword written on the hilt?" I couldn't help but ask.

"This is the long-lost Tuling Sword of the Guifang family."

The name sounds very cool, and having witnessed with my own eyes how Tushan Jingbu's defensive shield was broken by it with one strike, I was in awe of the power of this sword.

"The Soul-Slaying Sword can break all spiritual powers. Any spiritual power move is just a move in front of it. Legend has it that in ancient times, the Guifang family relied on it to kill gods and demons, and that's how they got the reputation of being the world's number one killer family. I should be thankful that Guifang Qian has the bloodline of the nine-tailed fox instead of a pure-blooded Guifang family member, otherwise..."

"What else?" I asked with a little fear.

"Otherwise I wouldn't be able to withstand his move just now. The pure-blooded ghost from the Fang family using this sword is even more powerful. I'm afraid that he will split me and my formation in half." Tu Shanjing said in a deep voice.

I shuddered for no reason, and secretly said in my heart that it was a good thing that Gui Fangqian had fox blood. However, the fox bloodline allowed him to enter this cave, but also caused him to die here in the end. I couldn't help but sigh that fate played tricks on us, and life and death were determined by fate.

At this moment, a drop of water fell at my feet. I couldn't help but look up and saw some water droplets condensed on the stone wall above my head.

"We should leave now. Otherwise, after a while, when the effect of the Ice Soul wears off, the underground river will resume flowing. I'm injured now, and it will be difficult for me to cross the river the same way I came here." Tu Shanjing said.

I hurriedly helped him put the Tuling Sword back into the scabbard and handed it back to him, supporting him and saying, "Master, let's go. What about this... Gui Fangqian? Should we just leave it alone for now?"

Tu Shanjing replied: "I can't take care of him for now, let's go back. Just pick up his scabbard." Then he jumped onto the tree first and opened his arms to me: "Come, I'll catch you."
