A pair of white fox ears twitched, and nine tails emerged from behind it. "Didn't you want to compare bloodlines with me? Show me your true form!"
Gu Liyan suddenly smiled and said, "Oh, right, I forgot, you are your true form right now!"
"This, this—" Hei Yu's legs went weak with fear, and he knelt on the ground. "Demon... Demon King..."
Su Xian'er's eyes flashed with an unusual light as she stared at the white-clad youth with nine tails on his back, completely mesmerized.
"Just kill yourself! I don't want to get my hands dirty!" Gu Liyan said coldly.
"I..." Hei Yu trembled all over, not daring to disobey the power from his bloodline.
Before he could kneel down and beg for mercy, Gu Liyan suddenly sensed danger and instinctively looked up. He saw a silver arrow shooting towards him from the sky and hurriedly warned, "Be careful!"
laugh--
The arrow flew like lightning, piercing Hei Yu's back. Hei Yu looked down in shock, staring at his chest in disbelief. "How...could...this be—"
Thump—
Hei Yu's massive body collapsed to the ground, lifeless!
Gu Liyan frowned as he looked at the person who was walking through the air, his anger palpable. "Who goes there!"
"Jiang Shang, the eldest disciple of the Celestial Venerable!" A young man with long black hair, dressed in dark cloth, holding a bow, and exuding a calm and composed aura, landed not far from Gu Liyan.
Gu Liyan raised an eyebrow. "You're Shen Wei's senior brother?"
“That’s right!” Jiang Shang sized up Gu Liyan and said, “Fox demon, considering your hard-won cultivation, if you surrender now, I will spare your life!”
Gu Liyan coldly asked, "What grudge do you have against Hei Yu? Why are you so determined to kill him? Are all cultivators so bloodthirsty?"
Jiang Shang was immediately enraged. "Hmph, this monster ate my own kind alive, so it must be severely punished! As for you, you harmed my junior brother and abducted children, so you must be dealt with as well!"
Before Gu Liyan could refute him, Jiang Shang drew his bow and shot an arrow, producing a sonic boom.
In an instant, the arrow flew towards Gu Liyan, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye. Gu Liyan wanted to dodge, but suddenly remembered that there was a girl behind him. If he dodged, he would definitely hit her.
Simply stand still without flinching.
laugh--
An arrow pierced Gu Liyan's chest, instantly staining his white robes crimson with blood.
"Pfft—" Gu Liyan shuddered and spat out a mouthful of blood mist.
Gu Liyan stared at Jiang Shang in shock, never expecting that what he held in his hand was actually a semi-divine artifact! This arrow was extremely powerful, directly shattering most of his internal organs.
Gu Liyan's blood splattered on Su Xian'er's face. Instead of crying in fear, Su Xian'er ran up from behind and grabbed Gu Liyan's clothes, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at him with worry. "Big brother! Are you... are you alright?"
Jiang Shang thought that Gu Liyan had given up resisting because of his lack of strength, but he did not expect that there was a little human girl behind him!
He then realized why Gu Liyan hadn't dodged, and asked with a guilty expression, "Could it be... you did it to protect her—"
Gu Liyan twitched his lips, blood dripping from them onto the ground. He gritted his teeth and said, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. Whether demon or human, the innocent should not be harmed indiscriminately!"
Jiang Shang opened his mouth, put down the bow in his hand, and immediately lowered his head with a look of guilt.
Su Xian'er understood Jiang Shang's words and immediately realized that Gu Liyan was injured while protecting her. Her expression changed drastically, and her innocent and cute face turned into one of hatred as she pointed at Jiang Shang, "You hurt my big brother, and I will avenge him!"
Gu Liyan raised his head and looked closely at Su Xian'er's face. Looking at Su Xian'er's cute appearance and angry expression, he found them to be strikingly similar to the first time he had seen her!
The Painter's Soul Eye fixed on Su Xian'er, and he couldn't help but shudder, frozen in place—
Xiao Bai!
