We're Building It Up, To Break It Back Down

(Guo Shi POV) [The Xi Family Enforcer]

"Kill her! Do not hold back!" The Elder in charge of security roared.

The fox youkai just laughed, "Ufufufu~ All for Master!"

Hell broke loose.

A part of me wanted to run but there was a tiny part at the back laughing, "Run where?"

So instead, I just unsheathed my sword and stood a little ways back, watching the guards rush towards the fox youkai with their spears and swords.

The fox youkai placed a delicate finger on her chin as a bone chilling smile spread across her lips.

Her tails retracted before suddenly shooting outwards in different directions, the supposedly fluffy tails turning into deadly spikes as they impaled themselves on several of the guards.

Heedless of their fallen comrades, the others who were fortunate enough to avoid the tail spikes continued their bullish charge towards the fox.

Even from where I stood, I could see her smile widen.
