XIAO SHUXIANG'S
157 - By xiong [Revised]
"Excuse me..! Is there anyone inside..? Excuse me.." Jing Mi also did the same, but there was still no response.
"How's it?" Lan Guan Zhi asked as Xiao Shuxiang and Jing Mi walked up to him.
Xiao Shuxiang shook his head, "There is no sign that this city was attacked by Demonic Beasts or other cultivators. All the buildings are still intact and stand firm without anything being damaged. I wonder where everyone is? Why is this town so quiet..? Like the city just dies,"
"We'd better wait till morning, they'll be out later." Dai Chen invited his three friends to find a place to rest.
Xiao Shuxiang, "Why wait until morning? Better just break down the door and drag the occupants out."
"I agree with you, Brother Xiao." Jing Mi agreed.
"Basic delinquent," Dai Chen directly reprimanded Xiao Shuxiang and Jing Mi, "This place is not your home. Making a fuss without thinking first can drag us all into trouble. Moreover, we do not yet know the cause of the city residents that are so difficult to find. Obviously find a place to rest and just wait,"
"alright, fine. Come on, Brother Jing." Xiao Shuxiang walked over while being followed by his three companions.
They rested in one of the houses whose doors were open. Although looking into each room, in fact there was not a single occupant of the house they found. Even items such as table chairs and the others were not there either.
Jing Mi closed the door and immediately lay on the floor, right beside Xiao Shuxiang. Only Lan Guan Zhi was sitting cross-legged while closing his eyes, while his three companions were lying beside him.
The first three hours, there was no strangeness whatsoever that Lan Guan Zhi felt other than hearing Jing Mi's snoring voice.
The next three hours, Jing Mi started to delirious. Mentioning the name Xiao WeiWei, Xiao Shuxiang's mother and apparently laughing while still asleep.
Jing Mi's muscular right hand and foot immediately hugged Xiao Shuxiang and treated him like a bolster. Xiao Shuxiang immediately choked from feeling hit by the tree trunk.
"Sa-Brother Jing..!" Xiao Shuxiang tried to let go of Jing Mi's arms and legs, she woke up then toppled Jing Mi's body in annoyance.
Xiao Shuxiang's upper lip twitched as Jing Mi deliriously called Xiao WeiWei's name, "What did she dream about, anyway..? Basic, just disturb my sleep..!" Xiao Shuxiang hit Jing Mi's arm and then stood up to look for another bed.
He ended up sleeping near Lan Guan Zhi who was still faithfully sitting cross-legged. Slowly his eyes closed, he went back to sleep. Now, the position of his left knee supported his right leg, and Xiao Shuxiang's two hands became a pillow for his head.
Outside, the blowing wind moved the grass and leaves. Occasionally, we hear the frictions of the branches of trees. No sound of night beasts was heard, what an uninhabited city.
The night is getting late, the moonlight is getting brighter. Slowly.. A thin, red mist began to appear at the city gate.
The fog was spreading and getting thicker, something black dot seemed to move as if it appeared within the fog. The point grew more and more, a gripping aura instantly enveloped the entire city until it made Lan Guan Zhi instantly open his eyes.
!!
Lan Guan Zhi patted Xiao Shuxiang as well as Dai Chen. He tried to wake up his two friends, but instead both of his hands were hugged by Dai Chen and Xiao Shuxiang.
"Shuxiang, wake up." Lan Guan Zhi forcibly withdrew his hand, he also did the same to Dai Chen. Suddenly, the sound of the door in front of him was violently pounded.
Not only the door, but the walls of the house they were resting on were also pounded. It's shocking! One of the damaged walls was hit repeatedly to show a pale black human hand.
One by one hand began to successfully damage the walls made of wood. Some hands bleed red-black and smell pungent.
Jing Mi's sleep was interrupted due to such a noisy voice, she then woke up and snapped at anyone who had dared to disturb her sleep.
!!
Jing Mi's eyes were rounded and she was so shocked as many hands appeared on the wall in front of her. The terrifying sound of the feather standing up instantly made Jing Mi wake up a friend nearby.
"Brother Chen..! Brother Chen, let's get up..!"
"Shuxiang, Shuxiang wake up." Lan Guan Zhi slapped Xiao Shuxiang's arm hard because the man was so hard to wake up.
!!
His slap instantly made Xiao Shuxiang aghast and groan in pain. He felt his arm had just been flicked by a hot iron.
"Lan Zhi, you are so outrageous..!" Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his arms, his facial expression was like a shriveling shriek, he had just entered dreamland, but Lan Guan Zhi was instead..
!!
He instantly gasped when he realized his current situation. Lan Guan Zhi immediately stood up and darted to attack the door with his sword.
!!
Xiao Shuxiang also pulled out his sword from the Spatial Ring, he called out to Dai Chen and Jing Mi. The three of them shot out through the collapsed door due to being hit by Lan Guan Zhi's attack.
The door moved, there were two pairs of hands flailing through the wood of the door. Xiao Shuxiang stepped on it no matter who was wedged down there.
The four of them began to understand the situation, there were many undead crowding the houses they occupied.
The bodies of these corpses were thin-skinned dry, their clothes were tattered, there was a huge wound on their chest. Wounds are like scratches that are done continuously.
!!
Some of the corpses had legs that were different directions, their faces very pale with many cuts on their chins, necks and both cheeks.
CRAASH!
"These corpses are weak, but they are too many and it is troublesome." Dai Chen slashed at the two corpses, but he was soon mobbed again.
Xiao Shuxiang and Lan Guan Zhi were also seen attacking these endless corpses.
Just as Xiao Shuxiang had suspected against the power of his sword, the weapon he was holding was able to suck the skin and flesh of the corpse in front of him if it was pierced deeply by the sword to turn them into bones.
The problem was, when Xiao Shuxiang's sword produced a buzzing sound.. He could no longer control the sword.
His sword was like a craze, darting wildly piercing the body of a corpse like a starving demonic weapon. Xiao Shuxiang likened his movements to that of the sword, his hands were hard to remove from the hilt of his sword.
"Brother Jing, Watch out!!"
!!
A BAAAAM!
Jing Mi and Dai Chen were lucky to move quickly, both of them were shocked because Xiao Shuxiang had suddenly attacked them.
"You are nothing?! What you should be fighting against are those corpses..!!" Dai Chen scolded Xiao Shuxiang while continuing to attack the corpses near him.
"I won't attack you either?! But this sword is like having a life of its own. Uhh! According me..! Xiao Shuxiang is 'Your master'!"
The sword in Xiao Shuxiang's hand again buzzed, he immediately darted along with its owner and attacked the other corpse wildly.
The sword pointed at Lan Guan Zhi, lucky that he managed to dodge. Xiao Shuxiang was like fighting with his own weapon.
Dai Chen took out three roots and tried to hold back Xiao Shuxiang as the sword was about to attack him.
A TRAAANG!
"Can't you control your sword with Qi, huh?! We've been having trouble here and you're adding more trouble..!" Dai Chen snapped.
"Dai Chen's! If this sword can flow Qi, I've been controlling it for a long time. The problem is this insane sword rejects my Qi!"
!!
Dai Chen had only first noticed that such a sword existed, he was trying to withstand the might of Xiao Shuxiang's sword while continuing to fight against the living corpses.
Xiao Shuxiang as well, he was trying to draw his sword while continuing to fight the endless corpses.
"You're nothing but a dead thing, so obey now..!" a thin black smoke emerged from the sole of Xiao Shuxiang's foot.
He took out a Swordsman Aura which made Dai Chen and Jing Mi take a safe distance. The corpses that were hit by Xiao Shuxiang's Aura instantly fell to the ground.
Xiao Shuxiang could still control his aura, he did that to subdue the Life-Sucking Sword in this hand.
!!
Suddenly Xiao Shuxiang saw among the crowd of corpses that someone was standing while watching them from a distance.
That person was instantly shrouded in a red smog and disappeared without a trace when Xiao Shuxiang noticed him.
Lan Guan Zhi turned out to be aware of the person's presence as well, he nodded as Xiao Shuxiang looked at him.
Xiao Shuxiang drew his sword, he aimed the sword to attack the corpses nearby.
Xiao Shuxiang exclaimed, "You guys! Take a long distance! Don't attack these bodies."
"But, Brother-"
"Do it." Lan Guan Zhi patted Jing Mi on the shoulder and invited her to leave.
Lan Guan Zhi, Jing Mi and Dai Chen looked at Xiao Shuxiang from the top of the tree. Xiao Shuxiang was absolutely crazy with his sword, any corpse that was pierced by the sword would turn into bones.
Xiao Shuxiang's sword emitted a thin smoke of blood-red color, its sword grew heavier and wilder as the many corpses he had sucked out.
"That's a terrible weapon, where did Brother Xiao get it?!" Jing Mi goosebumps seeing the corpses getting fewer and fewer, they were like food for Xiao Shuxiang's sword.
"I don't know where he got it either.. What's.. That's some kind of Sky Heritage?" Dai Chen continued to focus on noticing Xiao Shuxiang without lowering his guard against the attacks that could have come on suddenly.
"Not a Heavenly Heirloom," Lan Guan Zhi himself could not figure out the extent of the sword's power, he felt that Xiao Shuxiang's sword had not even expended some of its power.
Xiao Shuxiang moved faster, lunging at every undead and making them food for Yinng xiong, his sword.
Xiao Shuxiang actually liked being able to make this quick move as well as slaughter many corpses, but what worried him was that Yinng xiong was the controller.
"You've eaten a lot, so stop now and obey me..!"
!!
Something that Xiao Shuxiang did not really want to happen. After all the corpses turned into bones, Yinng surprisingly pulled him to attack Lan Guan Zhi, Jing Mi and Dai Chen.
"Based on Crazy Sword! They're friends! Hey!!"
