XIAO SHUXIANG'S
164 - Demonic Beast Island [Revised]
Xiao Shuxiang, Lan Guan Zhi, Dai Chen, Siu Yixin, Hu Li, Jing Mi, Mo Huai, and a Tianqi Mao bodyguard were now in front of a large stone cave.
Jing Mi looked back and found the large mirror she had entered earlier was slowly starting to disappear. He turned around and asked their current location.
The Tianqi Mao Guards said that they were on Demonic Beast Island, far away from the Three Imperial Eastern Continent.
Demonic Beast Island was lined with 101 barrier seals, where outsiders would not know this place and the island could not be seen from the world map.
Although it is called the Demonic Beast island, in fact there are not up to 50 Demonic Beasts living on this island. The reason is that they often fight with each other, fighting over territory and food.
Xiao Shuxiang and his companions looked around, the trees here were much larger than the trees in their place.
Tianqi Mao's bodyguard warned that Xiao Shuxiang and his companions would not go too far as this place was extremely dangerous.
"Come, follow me."
Tianqi Guard Mao was a 20-year-old looking man, he was an ordinary cultivator, being at the Forging Qi Level 11.
He was not an expert at fighting, the focus of his skill was to create a water seal that could be used to bring Xiao Shuxiang and his friends home.
He led Xiao Shuxiang and the others into the stone cave. Along the way, Jing Mi spoke to Siu Yixin in a tone.
From the talk, they knew that Duan De had lived together with Siu Yixin and Hu Li for almost a year and a half.
Until finally Duan De was forcibly taken by the lower pillar members because Siu Yixin and Hu Li refused to hand Duan De over to them.
Siu Yixin was actually one of the lower pillars, but she was replaced by someone else when their GrandElder knew that Siu Yixin was betraying her by not handing Duan De over to her.
"You're betraying? What in your body is not implanted cold poison? You should be dead by now, right?" Xiao Shuxiang looked suspiciously at Siu Yixin and Hu Li.
"We were not given a cold poison, but something else.." Hu Li explained that Xiao Shuxiang saved his life from the spider egg that Bian Que had implanted inside him, right on the day they first met.
While Siu Yixin was recovering unintentionally due to continuing to consume Arak Anak Linglung with Duan De. Hearing him made Xiao Shuxiang amazed by his skill.
The cave they entered was so dark, Xiao Shuxiang used his five little blue flames as a path light.
!!
Xiao Shuxiang and his companions suddenly stopped when they heard the sound of the stone being shifted. Sure enough, the door of the cave where they had entered earlier, had now been covered in a huge rock.
"How now?!" Mo Huai panicked, he tightly embraced Jing Mi's right arm, fearing that they could not get out.
Hu Li calmed Mo Huai down, he told the young man not to worry. This cave was familiar to Hu Li and Siu Yixin, no monsters of any kind would attack them.
Xiao Shuxiang and his friends went back on their way. He asked about how close Hu Li was to the GrandElder Scarlet Shadow and how she looked.
".. What's name?"
"Young Master Xiao, I don't know my neighbor's name. No one ever mentioned his name. And for his looks.." Hu Li shook his head, the answer was the same as Tianqi Mao had said.
"♬♩It's true, yo. Our GrandElder has great power, yo. He's very dangerous, and we have to stop him yo..!♬♪"
Hu Li and Jing Mi nodded in agreement, they agreed with Siu Yixin.
Xiao Shuxiang was just silent, his face was serious and seemed to be thinking of something. He suddenly gasped as he felt a rumbling sound approaching them.
Jing Mi asked Mo Huai to stand behind her, she then pulled the sword and acted alert.
Xiao Shuxiang took out a sword from his Spatial Ring, his companions also drew their swords.
!!
The rumbling sounds drew closer, the three blue flames of Xiao Shuxiang shot forward. Jing Mi was surprised as she saw a thick sandstorm heading towards them at such a high speed.
Siu Yixin, Xiao Shuxiang, Lan Guan Zhi, and Dai Chen simultaneously formed a seal with Qi to withstand the exposure of the sandstorm.
An attack streaked at a time when the sandstorm they were enduring had yet to dissipate. The attacks came over and over and over, the longer, the stronger.
Xiao Shuxiang asked his friends to hold on, he poured Qi on his sword, used Wind Breathing and directly braved the sandstorm while fending off the incoming attacks.
The sound produced when Xiao Shuxiang shot out was extremely loud. His five blue flames gathered and followed him.
"Shoot him," Xiao Shuxiang could feel that there was a person with high ability standing far in front of him.
He ordered all five of his blue flames to attack the person, while he overcame this sandstorm.
The distance between Xiao Shuxiang and the person was about ten meters, as his five blue flames shot out.. The man immediately took a step back.
Xiao Shuxiang sped up his movements, the thick sandstorm did not become a hindrance to finding the stranger.
Xiao Shuxiang could finally see it clearly, it was a woman with a large fan on her back. He was on the fishing line into one of the cavernous passageways.
The woman stopped running and the next second she disappeared then appeared right in front of Xiao Shuxiang.
SLASHY!
It was fortunate that Xiao Shuxiang was able to clink his body backwards so that his head was not hit by the woman's slash.
With a quick movement, Xiao Shuxiang used his hand as a weight restraint and both of his legs he used to attack the woman's legs.
This woman looks 23 years old, short-haired, blood-red clothes with a bamboo stem motif, she wears a red fox mask until her face is not visible.
Tap
Sha Bao, the lower pillar that occupies the ninth seat. He was able to react quickly from Xiao Shuxiang's foot attack.
With both daggers in hand, Sha Bao again attacked Xiao Shuxiang. The fight both resulted in a violent clash and a shock wind.
THE TRAANG!
THE TRAANG!
There was no conversation between the two, Xiao Shuxiang so seriously attacked Sha Bao without retiring his attack in the slightest.
He was certain, the woman he was fighting against had not yet unleashed his original strength, and it was an opportunity for Xiao Shuxiang to strike seriously.
THE TRAANG!
THE TRAANG!
Xiao Shuxiang gritted his teeth, the woman he was fighting against had not yet also put on the weapon on his back despite being desperate.
"Underestimating me is the most stupid act..!"
CRAASH!
Xiao Shuxiang slashed Sha Bao's neck from behind, the woman's head twisting in the air before finally falling down and rolling on the ground.
Not getting there, Xiao Shuxiang slashed both Sha Bao's hands, feet, and body. He did so with some movement until Sha Bao's body was cut into twelve pieces.
"Hm.. So you're.. The Destroying Star..?"
!
Xiao Shuxiang immediately turned to one of the upper corners of the cave, in being able to see Sha Bao standing quietly on top of a sharp rock.
It was clear that Sha Bao could not be killed that easily, the body that was already out of shape due to being slashed by Xiao Shuxiang was just a substitute body.
"Using a real human instead of your body, is great." There was a tone of ridicule to Xiao Shuxiang's words, he praised Sha Bao's perfect manner.
"Xiao Shuxiang, huh? Forging Qi level 11.. Rooted Dantian.. Hmp, it's a pity.."
Xiao Shuxiang smiled faintly, he poured Qi on his sword and directly darted towards where Sha Bao was.
THE TRAANG!
"Very unfortunate..? You want to say I'm weak?"
THE TRAANG!
Xiao Shuxiang continued to exchange attacks with Sha Bao without any pause at all. Xiao Shuxiang's every move was too wild and difficult to guess.
Sha Bao was actually a long-range fighter, his main weapon was a large fan that was on his back.
Although he had trouble guessing the pattern of Xiao Shuxiang's attack, but because of the help of his partner.. He could fend off this young man's attacks.
THE TRAANG!
"For cultivators, a level 11 Forging Qi is only a small ant and is so weak as to fight against you. But you should never consider Xiao Shuxiang that..!"
A BAAAM!
Sha Bao struck the sharp rocks that were inside the cave. Not long before he stood up, Xiao Shuxiang again attacked him and gave off as many slashes as before.
"You kill.. No mercy at all.."
!?
Xiao Shuxiang kicked the stubborn Sha Bao he had slashed, "The woman.. Using a replacement body again.."
Sha Bao this time used his big fan, where a windfall mixed with thick sand shot rapidly towards Xiao Shuxiang.
Elsewhere, Lan Guan Zhi and the others were still enduring the sandstorm as well as fending off the attacks that came out of nowhere.
Several times the sandstorm stopped, but immediately came back with much greater pressure.
Dai Chen used ten of his creeping roots to protect Mo Huai and the Tianqi Mao bodyguards who were unable to fight.
Just when Xiao Shuxiang managed to corner Sha Bao.. The storm that struck Lan Guan Zhi and his companions stopped. They then followed up to where Xiao Shuxiang was.
THE TRAANG!
A BAAM!
Xiao Shuxiang's five little blue flames attacked Sha Bao as he took his distance. He was completely cornered with Xiao Shuxiang's melee and far-range attacks.
It took him two minutes to bring out a strong sandstorm. And the two minutes time was used by Xiao Shuxiang to attack him all out.
"Now who's weak, huh?!"
A BAAAM!
Sha Bao smashed into the wall of the cave back, he coughed blood and tried to stand up yet Xiao Shuxiang did not give him a chance.
CRAASH!
"Now I understand, this is not a replacement body. You have a lot of lives, and every time you get killed.. Your strength will also decrease.."
Xiao Shuxiang turned his head back, being five meters away from him.. Sha Bao was standing with a big fan beside him.
".. I'm right, right?"
Sha Bao began to unmask her, her body a mature woman.. His face was like a seven-year-old.
He smiled widely to the point of ripping his cheeks, revealing jagged teeth that made Xiao Shuxiang blink a few times.
"Geez, the Forbidden Technique turns you into a monster, even though you're beautiful, hey.."
"What do you mean, this is my real face..!" Sha Bao again attacked Xiao Shuxiang, that chest-high fan.. Now it can attach thousands of tiny needles.
Xiao Shuxiang used Wind Breathing to fend off thousands of Sha Bao needles.
He broke through Sha Bao's attack and gave a deep incision wound to the right side of his waist.
Tap
Sha Bao jumped up onto one of the tall stones, he initially smiled as he saw there were about ten needles stuck in Xiao Shuxiang's body.
But his smile faded as the young man in no pain was even able to move. Though his needles contained a deadly poison.
"So the poison doesn't work..? Hm, let's try another way.."
Xiao Shuxiang was about to dart towards Shan Bao, but suddenly someone appeared from the ground and charged right into his left chest.
Xiao Shuxiang reflexively jumped back, as he was in the air.. An attack of thousands of threads came from behind, up, and down his body.
Lan Guan Zhi who had just arrived, immediately jumped towards Xiao Shuxiang to protect him. But the two are instead trapped into the thousands of threads that form this large cocoon.
"Young Master Lan..!"
"Brother Xiao..!"
Dai Chen and Jing Mi were surprised, their two friends were too quickly wrapped in cocoons.
Lan Guan Zhi released his forehead ribbon which instantly turned into a pointed-tipped iron, he used it as a restrainer so that the thread did not touch him nor Xiao Shuxiang.
Xiao Shuxiang was actually surprised when there was an attack from deep in the ground that injured his left chest, he was unable to sense the presence of an opponent other than Sha Bao.
He was again startled by the attacks of thousands of fine threads wrapping around him with Lan Guan Zhi.
Fortunately Lan Guan Zhi moved quickly until the sticky thread did not stick to their bodies.
"Young Master Lan..!"
"Brother Xiao..!"
