Fusang Sword Heart Diagram

Chapter 260 Silver Iron
In the end, Changman had no choice but to form a pact with her, hoping she would help him.

Ning Fusang narrowed her eyes, her expression dark and unfathomable. "I remember you were full of murderous intent before, and your actions didn't seem like you were asking for help; you really wanted to kill someone."

Changman nuzzled against the back of her hand, letting out a low whimper, as if trying to explain something. Ning Fusang pinched its body, turning it over and over to examine it repeatedly, pressing her fingertips against Changman's flesh.

"A fishbone thorn?" Ning Fusang felt as if she had touched a thorn about the length of a thumb. If Changman hadn't reminded her, she would have thought it was just an ordinary fishbone.

Changman raised its tail and swept it across her tiger's mouth, its cheeks puffing out as it rambled on and on, its meaning implying that Ning Fusang should help it remove the thorns.

This bone spur has tormented Changman for over a hundred years. Every time it flares up, it becomes extremely violent and bloodthirsty.

Only external pain can relieve its pain. The fiercer it acts, the harder others hit it. Changman even hopes that someone can beat it until its skin is torn open, so that small fish in the sea can pick out the thorn from the torn skin.

However, Changman is also very clever. Once the people of Lingbo Sect have murderous intentions, it will not linger in battle.

Unfortunately, the Moon Gazing Fish Dragon's skin was too thick. It only encountered Ning Fusang once, and managed to pierce a hole in its head with its sword.

Changman then set its sights on her sword, and the sword possessed an aura that it particularly liked.

Ning Fusang gestured for it to open its belly and become even larger. With a flick of its wrist, it summoned the Fish-Hidden Sword and made a cut at the location of the Fugu Thorn.

Blood spread in the water, attracting the nearby sea beasts, who became restless. Qian Yuan released his aura, intimidating these sea beasts, and the surroundings became quiet.

Changman let out a sob, but Ning Fusang held him down, saying, "Don't move."

With a serious expression, she searched for the location of the Fugu Spike within the cut flesh. Suddenly, she saw a white dot. Ning Fusang glanced at Changman, warned it, and then used her spiritual power to force the dot out.

A slender white thorn shot out and embedded itself in the coral branch.

The bone-piercing thorn was embedded so deeply into the flesh of the barbarian that Ning Fusang could only feel it to be about the length of a thumb before. Now, after forcing the thorn out, she discovered that it was almost as long as the hilt of the Yu Cang sword.

No wonder Changman is so irritable.

Having such a long thorn embedded in flesh for hundreds of years would be unbearable for anyone.

However, Ning Fusang knew how thick the flesh of the Changman was. If she hadn't had the Dragon Bone Sword and the Fish Hidden Sword, it would have been difficult to cut through its flesh defenses. And this Fu Bone Spike could pierce its flesh, which showed that it was no ordinary thing.

Ning Fusang removed the long, thin white thorns from the coral branch, drilled a hole in a slightly wider section, twisted the lotus root strands she had left into a fine thread, threaded it through a needle, and then sewed up Changman's wound, while also feeding it a handful of blood-clotting pills.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, it regained its vitality, circled the Fish-Hidden Sword several times, and patted the sword with its tail.

Ning Fusang understood its meaning: "You have something to give me?"

Changman thought for a moment and realized that was roughly the idea, so he nodded and gestured for Ning Fusang to follow. It plunged into the narrow and deep trench, where the seawater pressure increased instantly, and the wound that Ning Fusang had just stitched up reopened, with beads of blood floating down Ning Fusang's cheeks.

"The thing is down in this trench?" Ning Fusang stopped before her feet touched the ground and looked at Changman.

Changman swam back and looked for the Fish Hidden Sword beside her, but it didn't know where Ning Fusang had put the Fish Hidden Sword. After searching for a long time without finding it, it could only nibble on her sleeve, signaling her to continue following it.

Ning Fusang's gaze fell on Changman's open wound. She took out a transparent ram's horn palace lantern from her Fusang Ring and gestured for Changman to go inside.

The water in this lantern is a spiritual spring, which will also benefit Changman's recuperation. Several colorful ribbons, each embroidered with different patterns, are simple and elegant, fluttering in the direction of the water flow. Changman shrank its body and disappeared into the spiritual spring, using its tail to guide Ning Fusang.

This trench is long and deep, as if it were formed by a divine axe that split the seabed rocks and sand. Sunlight cannot reach it at all, and there is pure darkness below.

The luminous pearl in Ning Fusang's hand suddenly shattered into countless fragments under the water pressure, drifting in all directions.

She slowly sank to the bottom, using her divine sense to probe the conditions at the bottom of the trench. The cliffs on both sides were steep and precipitous, seemingly filled with many holes, and she wondered what kind of creatures lived there.

Ning Fusang didn't delve too deeply with her divine sense, lest she awaken the monster within. She concealed her aura and headed directly in the direction Changman had told her.

In the dim and quiet environment, Ning Fusang stepped on many sea beast skeletons in the soft mud.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Changman suddenly slapped the lamp wall with its tail, reminding Ning Fusang that they had arrived. It then floated towards the cliff face, its head resting on the lamp wall.

Ning Fusang looked up and saw several different rocks embedded together. From her direction, she could just see a glimmer of silver light.

Is this the one Changman led her to?
Ning Fusang took out his sword and pried open several pieces of rock that were connected together, revealing a piece of silver iron that sank down.

She reached out and caught the silvery iron, her expression slightly taken aback. "This iron is made of the same material as the Fish-Hidden Sword?"

Ning Fusang immediately took out the Fish-Hidden Sword and compared it with the iron, finding that it was indeed the same. However, it was obvious that the iron did not come from this trench, but was accidentally left here, which did not prove anything.

After putting away the silver iron, Ning Fusang left the trench first, as the pressure there was too great to stay in for long. Changman flew out of the palace lantern, transforming back into its enormous size, and gestured for Ning Fusang to climb onto its back.

Ning Fusang complied, but Changman swam directly towards the Snow Coral Sea. She calmly said, "You've gone against my wishes."

Changman turned his head, his lips moving as he spoke a great deal. Ning Fusang picked out the useful information from it, "The legacy and secrets of the Lianzhu Sanren are in your hands?"

Changman nodded. It was Lianzhu's favorite beast, and Lianzhu had always wanted to form a bond with it. However, it only liked the spirit fruits and meat that Lianzhu fed it and didn't like forming a bond with humans.

Ning Fusang thought for a moment and said, "Go back and get the things. I'll wait for you three hundred miles away."

She just left the sphere of influence of Ayanami Island, and now she's going back. It's hard to say that Master Chixiao won't have some thoughts about it.

Since Changman was able to catch up with her without being discovered by the Lingbo Sect, it must have its own methods. Letting it go back alone would be much more convenient.

It hesitated, but Ning Fusang urged, "Go quickly and come back quickly."

Changman lay down, revealing its still-wounded abdomen, clearly indicating that it was injured, not yet healed, and needed someone to stay with it.

Ning Fusang thought for a moment and said, "Qianyuan, you go with Changman on this trip."

Qianyuan responded with a "Okay" and swam ahead. Changman immediately sprang up, flipped over, and chased after him.

Ning Fusang surfaced, her mermaid-silk robes completely dry. She took out the Walnut Spirit Boat and slowly sailed forward.

Both Qianyuan and Changman are very fast when traveling by water, and a round trip doesn't take too long.
