Background / History

One Sword Fox was imprisoned for twenty years with a sword piercing her Dantian and chains restraining her limbs. Her unusual liquid Golden Core allowed her cultivation to fluctuate, while a Spirit Locking Sword was used to suppress her power. She was given an apparently endless supply of alcohol in exchange for prison food. 50

Before her imprisonment, she fought in the Sect-State War. After drinking fine wine, she abruptly rose to Golden Core Peak and killed numerous powerful opponents. Her reputation and unpredictable talent made her a feared figure among cultivators. 50

She escaped when Xiao Bai's divine-pill alcohol scent reached her prison. After rescuing Xiao Bai from Qi Shan's attempted Dantian dissection, she used the Spirit Locking Sword's unstable seal against Qi Shan, turning the weapon into sword-shaped iron sand that beheaded him. 50 51

The Dao Alliance later released her under conditions set by Yu Hu: she was to protect and test Xiao Bai. She agreed to teach Xiao Bai sword arts in exchange for wine, while the Alliance considered restoring her former position. 55

Appearance

One Sword Fox is a strikingly beautiful woman whose loose, worn clothing and drunken manner contrast sharply with her ethereal appearance. She typically keeps alcohol close at hand and carries herself with a blunt, masculine confidence. 50 79

• Beautiful, “immortal-like” face, even when dirty and disheveled. 50
• Long black hair, often casually tied with torn hemp cloth. 50
• Sharp, sword-like eyes and brows; Sword Qi is said to stir within her gaze. 79 188
• Proud figure and a notably light body weight of ninety jin. 58 117
• Often wears loose hemp robes, Elder’s Robes, or fitted green clothing made by Mu Yun. 50 58 132
• Commonly carries a wine pot or bamboo wine tube. 50 108

Personality

One Sword Fox is impulsive, proud, and unrestrained. She values wine, merit, bonuses, and freedom far more than etiquette or political responsibility. She is willing to threaten powerful enemies, gamble away money, and publicly demand compensation from the Dao Alliance. 59 64 77 108

Despite her laziness, she is perceptive in ways that surprise others. She quickly senses Xiao Bai's unusual nature, suspects he is a Son of Destiny, and recognizes that his Resonance Power may be a Divine Grade Sequence. 76 108

She is also highly competitive and possessive. Her rivalry with Mu Yun motivates her to assist Xiao Bai with the Swastika Spirit Sword inheritance, while her growing attachment to Xiao Bai emerges through teasing, concern, and repeated cooperation in dangerous situations. 82 87 98

Abilities & Skills

Liquid Golden Core and Tidal Constitution

One Sword Fox possesses an extraordinarily rare liquid Golden Core and liquid-form Spiritual Root. Her cultivation and combat output can fluctuate like tides, making her difficult to predict and unusually resistant to attacks on her Dantian. 50 159

• Alcohol can cause her cultivation to surge dramatically. 50
• Manipulates Spiritual Pressure through rising and falling tidal force. 50 79
• Her Tidal Force is a Divine Grade Sequence. 88
• Has no fixed Nascent Soul; attacks specifically targeting her Dantian are ineffective. 159
• Her power can dehydrate or physically overwhelm a Dual Cultivation partner. 77
• Resonance interference during a tidal peak can injure her Palace Body and leave her unable to control her power. 79

Tidal Sword Technique

Her signature sword art channels Tidal Force into wave-like Sword Qi and Spiritual Pressure. She teaches the technique to Xiao Bai, though he struggles to learn it. 59

• Can create violent seas of clouds and tidal waves. 59
• A third-tier Tidal Force strike was intended to instantly kill the Soul Severing Realm Mysterious Owl. 79
• Her output is heavily affected by the quality and spell seals of the sword she uses. 79
• She knows many sword techniques but refuses to teach them indiscriminately. 59

Tide Rises, Sword Returns

A remote sword-summoning technique used to call her Personal Sword back to her. 53

• Enabled her to retrieve her Personal Sword from afar after leaving prison. 53
• Forced remote retrieval can be taxing enough to cause injury. 79

Sword Control and Improvised Combat

She can weaponize hostile or suppressive swords against their users. When Qi Shan confronted her, she destabilized the Spirit Locking Sword's seal and used the resulting sword-sand to cut through his neck. 51

• Can manipulate a Spirit Locking Sword despite its suppressive seal. 51
• Can fight with borrowed weapons when separated from her Personal Sword. 79
• Her Sword Intent alone can make opponents feel as if they have been cut. 109

Escape and Survival

One Sword Fox is adept at escaping confinement and dangerous encounters. She escaped a prison without breaking its wall, later fled underground while carrying Xiao Bai through the Mysterious Owl's Beast Flame, and escaped a Flood Dragon after being swallowed by using the Blood Moon Bone. 50 79 136

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Personal Sword — Her primary weapon; previously pawned for 3,000 Spirit Stones and later remotely recalled. 50 53

Relationships

• Xiao Bai — Dao Companion, mission partner, student, and eventual Dual Cultivation partner. She was assigned to protect and test him, teaches him sword arts, and repeatedly fights beside him. 55 59 139
• Yu Hu — Master and trusted associate. Yu Hu arranged her release, provides treatment for her Tidal Constitution, and warns her of the damage caused by overexertion. 55 87 131
• Mu Yun — Rival and occasional ally. One Sword Fox becomes jealous of Mu Yun's beauty, while Mu Yun is similarly jealous of her closeness with Xiao Bai. 82 131
• Qi Shan — Hostile Dao Alliance supervisor who sought to dissect Xiao Bai's Dantian; One Sword Fox beheaded him with the Spirit Locking Sword. 49 51
• Princess Fei Yue — Friendly acquaintance who purchased Qi Shan's Personal Sword and One Sword Fox's wine gourd for 3,000 Spirit Stones. 64
• Elder Qu Yangzi — Neighboring prisoner who hoped she would take him along during her escape; she left him behind. 50
• Mysterious Owl — Demon Alliance Rooster Division Third Helmsman who tested her strength; she and Xiao Bai escaped their confrontation. 77 79
