Weng Qianxiang's hand holding the bottle trembled, the veins on his arm bulging as he gripped the glass tightly.
Behind the strange man, six long, black tails emerged, swaying behind him.
His snout gradually elongated, his teeth sharpened and pointed, and his pupils turned amber.
Even more critically, the strange man's physique began to change.
His rapidly expanding body snapped the ropes binding him, and a bloody, deadly aura surged towards Weng Qianxiang!
In mere moments, the strange man transformed into a black fox, three meters long!
It bared its claws, swiped Weng Qianxiang's water bottle away with a single paw, and then cornered him.
"You dare to play me for a fool?" the black fox demon asked sinisterly.
Weng Qianxiang's arrogance vanished. He covered his head and shouted, "My mistake, my mistake! Spare me, mighty one!"
"You dream on!"
The black fox demon was furious, not only because Weng Qianxiang had captured its old flame, but also because Weng Qianxiang had disguised himself to trick it.
It opened its mouth, revealing sharp fangs, intending to bite off the fellow's head.
However, it then felt that this might be too lenient.
So, the black fox demon glanced at the shelf filled with small toys and finally picked up a half-meter-long stick.
"I'm going to shove this thing all the way into your belly!"
Weng Qianxiang was scared out of his wits and couldn't help but cry out, "Brother Yan, save me!!"
If you people had arrived a few seconds later, my 'big' would have become 'dead'!
Hearing Weng Qianxiang's plea, the black fox demon immediately sensed something was amiss.
The next second, Yan Shouyi and three others burst through the door!
Han San brandished his money sword and shouted, "Halt! So it's just a stinking fox demon. This humble Taoist shall capture you!"
The black fox demon, being the head of the Jianzhou Province intelligence network, had some discerning eyes.
It immediately recognized the identities of the people before it!
Chang Qing, the former Twenty-Eight Constellation Guard!
Yan Shouyi, the inheritor of Lu Ban!
Yuan Jianxin, the sword fanatic of the Laoshan Sword Sect!
And Han San, the heir of Maoshan!
Individually, the black fox demon wouldn't be particularly afraid of any one of them, at least believing it could put up a fight.
But with all four of them appearing at once, the pressure instantly increased tenfold. The black fox demon had no intention of fighting them, turning instead towards the villa's back door!
Seeing this, Han San immediately threw a handful of Taoist talismans.
The talismans flew, soaring past the fox demon and sealing the doors and windows ahead of it!
The fox demon slammed into a window but couldn't shatter the glass. Instead, it was blocked by a golden light and repelled!
In its panic, it tried to escape through other exits, only to find that all exits were sealed by Maoshan sect talismans!
"Damn it!"
The fox demon cursed, its six tails suddenly extending like pythons, lashing out at the five people!
"Fiend, behold my sword!"
Yuan Jianxin immediately opened his sword case, summoned his Peach Heart Sword, and then struck. Countless sword lights flashed within the room!
The next moment, all six of the fox demon's tails were severed!
This sight made Yan Shouyi glance at Yuan Jianxin again.
It seemed that after the Luó Tiān Dà Jiào, he wasn't the only one who had progressed; Yuan Jianxin's cultivation had also soared.
Han San was the same, though he remained a sycophant.
With its tails cut off, the fox demon let out a pained cry. Then, the severed tails rapidly grew limbs and feet, transforming into six clones identical to the fox demon!
The six clones darted around the room, evading the attacks of Han San and Yuan Jianxin, their movements so dazzling that it became impossible to distinguish the real body.
Seeing this, a flash of lightning suddenly struck Yan Shouyi!
Boom!
The Five Thunder True Law!
Centered on him, the lightning technique spread outwards like ripples. When it encountered his allies, the lightning automatically bypassed them. But upon encountering the fox demon's clones, the lightning surged, directly stunning the fox demon!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The six clones couldn't withstand Yan Shouyi's Five Thunder True Law and successively revealed their true forms, reverting back into lifeless fox tails, lying quietly on the ground.
Only the remaining fox demon was its true body!
The fox demon's face was filled with terror. With nowhere left to retreat, it prepared to fight to the death!
It suddenly changed direction and lunged at the least formidable opponent, Weng Qianxiang!
As long as it could capture Weng Qianxiang, it would have leverage for negotiation, perhaps even a sliver of hope!
But just as the fox demon was about to touch Weng Qianxiang, a stiff, eerie smile appeared on Weng Qianxiang's face!
What was wrong with him?
How could he still smile?!
The fox demon felt a brief moment of confusion, but the arrow was already on the string, and it couldn't turn back. It swiped a claw at Weng Qianxiang!
Unexpectedly, Weng Qianxiang allowed it to scratch and bite, making no attempt to dodge!
The next moment, Weng Qianxiang's joints suddenly twisted, and his body, in an incredibly contorted posture, locked onto the fox demon's body, rendering it immobile!
"What's going on?!" the fox demon exclaimed in shock.
Losing its balance, it fell to the ground. Only then did it see that behind it, there was also a Weng Qianxiang.
And the Weng Qianxiang that had locked onto it was actually made of wood!
Wei Changqing stood not far away, forming mudras with his hands. The wooden Weng Qianxiang that had restrained the fox demon was clearly a wooden puppet dummy released by Wei Changqing amidst the chaos.
The fox demon's head exploded with a "buzz." Its attention had been entirely focused on Yan Shouyi and the others who had already made their moves, completely overlooking the most threatening presence among them.
That was Wei Changqing, Wei Changqing, the inheritor of Lu Ban!
Weng Qianxiang walked out, exhaled a sigh of relief, and then smiled at Wei Changqing, "Thank you, Second Uncle!"
Wei Changqing didn't even spare Weng Qianxiang a glance, his face practically radiating disdain.
Weng Qianxiang's face was full of question marks: What was going on? What had he done to make his Second Uncle so disgusted with him?
Han San couldn't hold back, slinging an arm around Weng Qianxiang's shoulder and saying, "Come on, stick your butt out, I'll oil it up for you!"
Weng Qianxiang's brain suddenly short-circuited. He looked at everyone with a blank expression, then silently walked into the large indoor bath and buried his head in it.
After more than a minute, Yan Shouyi, who finally reacted, quickly pulled him out of the bath: "What are you doing, trying to drown yourself?"
Weng Qianxiang covered his face and said, "Some people are alive, but they are already dead, and the cause of death is extremely embarrassing."
Yan Shouyi couldn't help but laugh. Coughing, he tried to comfort him, "You sacrificed yourself for justice. Everyone will understand you!"
Han San chimed in, "That's right, we all understand you... but that doesn't stop us from laughing at you, hahahahaha!"
Weng Qianxiang suddenly raised his head and glared fiercely at the fox demon.
If it weren't for this fox demon, he wouldn't have been so humiliated!
So, he picked up a whip and lashed the fox demon fiercely: "It's all your fault! You son of a bitch..."
The fox demon yelped under the blows, "My mistake, my mistake! Spare me, mighty one!"
"You dream on!"
