XIAO SHUXIANG'S
224 - Rescue
Lan Guan Zhi who was already in the territory of the Rising Sun Empire accelerated the speed of his flying sword.
He gave up the task of saving the humans he had with his fellow students as well as Ling Qing Zhu. While himself darted to the origin of the loud thump that sounded.
In the Middle Sun Empire itself, precisely in the Flower Dew City, Tianqi Mao Residence.
There were about fifteen carriages each drawn by four horses. It was a cage made of wood and was prepared to capture citizens from other cities.
Heavy rain like this is suitable to be in the house and sleep, but before the eyes closed the door has been violently broken and they are transported like sacks of rice and then put into confinement.
Rather than shouting for help, the humans protested. This was because the one who broke down their door was a cultivator who came from the White and Neutral Flow sect.
Clearly they were confused and trying to figure out what really happened. But before getting any answers, they were startled by the fact that the White Flow cultivator was cooperating with the Black Flow cultivator. This rare phenomenon is very rare.
Ordinary humans who had come out of confinement were asked to enter the Great Mirror of Transducers.
While walking they heard an explanation from one of the White Flow cultivators.
".. Don't panic, we'll protect you,"
There are still many people that they have to save, fortunately they get help from many parties.
The three-flow senior cultivators present in the Central Sun Empire immediately rushed to the border region after getting information from Lai Kuan Ye about the war.
Meanwhile, the third junior flow cultivator helped save as many ordinary humans and brought them to the Flower Dew City.
BLAARS!
Arguably, the most chaotic empire right now was the Empire of the Rising Sun. Only two people exchanged attacks, but the effects of their fight made the ground tremble, crack, and even mountains and hills were affected.
THE TRAANG!
!!
As a result of the fierce fight between himself and the upper pillar of the Scarlet Shadow.. Now Xiao Shuxiang could reveal the black hood that covered his opponent's head and face.
However, he clucked angrily because the upper pillar of Scarlet Shadow wore a red fox-shaped mask with three black lines on each side of the mask.
From the posture of his opponent, Xiao Shuxiang knew that this enemy was a man. He had actually nagged the top pillar of the Scarlet Shadow several times already.
His reflection started from his opponent who never spoke even a single word until commenting on the appearance of this opponent who was too mysterious.
".. You piss me off, I'll definitely smash that mask and punch you in the face..!"
Xiao Shuxiang shot back, this time his speed could be offset by his opponent. The sword swing that produced five slashes with one strike was successfully fielded.
The direction of the opponent's attack was clearly visible, the effects of the three God's Eye Pills being refined and eaten at once could last for approximately ten minutes.
In that time, Xiao Shuxiang was able to fend off and counterattack.
Something he regretted was that he could not use the poison. For some reason, the poison seemed to have no effect on Xiao Shuxiang's opponent.
THE TRAANG!
A BAAAM!
The upper pillar of the Scarlet Shadow had successfully attacked Xiao Shuxiang until it hit the ground in a valley in the Black Stream region, the Empire of the Rising Sun.
He flowed his Qi on his Moon Slash Sword then with a single swing, ten consecutive attacks aimed at Xiao Shuxiang.
BLAARS!
There were three out of ten such powerful attacks, about twenty trees along with the ground supporting them split open and produced a charred smell like burning marks.
Xiao Shuxiang accidentally stood in front of a Hairy Bear Hedgehog, a 2000-year-old Demonic Beast.
!!
This Demonic Beast seemed to curl up with the feathers on its body standing upright. He trembled in fear of a sudden attack while he was heading towards the nest, but he did nothing at all.
Xiao Shuxiang was sure that there were already many Demonic Beasts that had likely lost their lives without them noticing.
He then told the Hedgehog Thorny Bear to immediately go to a safe place, but the bear remained motionless.
Kuuk~
"You have a big body, but why fear?! Hiya..! I can't believe I have to do this,"
Just once flickering his right hand, the Demonic Beast disappeared and entered the Xiao Shuxiang Universal Bracelet. He was actually able to keep living beings in his wake.
Compared to humans, Xiao Shuxiang was more concerned about Demonic Beasts. Probably because some of them became his adoptive family.
He then flowed his Qi to Yinng xiong, the next second Xiao Shuxiang again attacked the upper pillar of the Scarlet Shadow.
THE TRAANG!
THE TRAANG!
He then used his Water Breathing Technique, Seventh Stream, Attacker Wave which was coupled with his Fire Respiratory Technique.
Even though it is as perverse, in fact the attack has a devastating effect. The upper pillar of the Scarlet Shadow was unable to hold him back until half of his body was severely damaged.
!!
From his chest to his left waist disappeared, leaving behind a thin smoke that was like burning. But something suddenly happened.
The upper pillar body of the Scarlet Shadow quickly recovered. Xiao Shuxiang was already certain this would happen, as if he was fighting the most powerful member of the Scarlet Shadow.
".. Even the poison from Yinng xiong had no effect on him,"
Xiao Shuxiang had to find another way, he needed the weak point of this opponent.
The only thing that stood out other than the heavenly heirloom in the hands of the opponent was the fox mask he was wearing.
Xiao Shuxiang immediately darted, he would do so with the target of the mask.
The clash after clash of their two weapons was again heard.
THE TRAANG!
Every time a Demonic Beast was encountered and cowering in fear, Xiao Shuxiang would put it into the Universal Bracelet. He forgot that humans need protection too.
Feng Ying, the emperor, the soldiers, servants, as well as the citizens around the territory of the emperor's palace were the last group to reach the border.
They all gathered at one point with the third stream senior cultivators forming a protective seal that surrounded them.
"Did you see Brother Xuan?"
?!
Yi Wen gasped when he heard the question from Zhi Shu. He had not seen his brother since. It was quite difficult if he were to look for it now, he said that Qi Xuan was likely among these people.
"Hopefully, but I feel really bad,"
BLAARS!
!!
The ground shook again, the sound just now was not the roar of lightning, but the effect of the attack of the pillar over Scarlet Shadow and Xiao Shuxiang.
!!
Jing Mi, the cultivators, and ordinary humans were instantly shocked upon hearing a strange rumbling sound. They looked at each other and the next second their gazes were pointed at one point.
There is a reddish light that can be seen clearly even though it is raining, the light is burning and the loud sound is heard many times.
!!
Thousands of birds seemed to be flying like they were fleeing from something, some of them had to fall because they were hit by lightning. One of the cultivators exclaimed making Jing Mi and the others surprised.
One of the two volcanoes in the Eastern Continent seemed to be about to erupt. Xiao Shuxiang's fight and the Scarlet Shadow's cedar pillar were likely his biggest triggers.
"We need to get out of here,"
"ATTACK..!"
!!
The cultivators moved swiftly strengthening the protective seal that surrounded them. Two lucky attacks coming from the front managed to field them.
Ling Qing Zhu and the twenty disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect were among these people. Their other comrades spread out to see if there were still humans living in the territory of the Rising Sun Empire or not.
Elsewhere, right in one of the regions with a fairly thin Qi density, Xiao Shuxiang had given an attack to the upper pillar of the Scarlet Shadow which made his opponent fall and hit hard on a mountain.
Xiao Shuxiang had just realized it was a volcano, yet he did not care at all. He shot back, the heat he felt instead made his Flame Breathing Technique stronger.
BLAARS!
Xiao Shuxiang gave his strongest attack, it made the upper pillar of the Scarlet Shadow bounce very far away even to the point of falling into the hot lava deposits.
The mask that had been covering the face of the pillar cracked and then split into two. A clean face with a cold gaze, the color of the eyes are completely black but when observed more carefully will appear thousands of stars in it.
Seeing him made Xiao Shuxiang very surprised. His opponent was the person he knew the most, but how could it be?! This is impossible to believe.
"Shao.. Xing?!"
!!
Xiao Shuxiang bounced away as he came under a sudden attack from an opponent he assumed had melted. Volcanoes can no longer survive, now he really spouts the burden that he has been carrying all this time.
