XIAO SHUXIANG'S
231 - Xiao Shuxiang III
Wyvern seemed to surround the Demon Lotus Tree, he growled so strongly that it produced such a strong wind.
Ling Lang Tian formed a protective seal with one hand. While Dai Chen used ten of his creeping roots to create a shield, it was a pity that he was unable to protect everyone.
The four upper pillars shot up. Meng Yaoya targeted Bai Wu Dang because that monk-like cultivator could create a protective seal on a cultivator's body from a distance.
Ming Mei had the same ability as Bai Wu Dang, she was naturally also targeted by the upper pillar of the Scarlet Shadow.
THE TRAANG!
"It's so bad, it's impossible to fight that big monster,"
"If you're scared, you better get out of here! I'll deal with it even if I have to die,"
Yi Wen snapped at a cultivator from the Black Stream sect, he exclaimed and called his friends to gather.
Jing Mi, Zhi Shu, and the others jumped towards Yi Wen. Their body condition was filled with incision wounds, but due to consuming Xiao Shuxiang's pills, their injuries quickly recovered.
"Brother Xiao was hit by Lan Gaozu's attack, I didn't expect it to happen,"
"Don't think about it. No need to care about Brother Xiao, I'm sure he'll be fine. Our brother's not that weak until he's worried,"
Bao Yu and Feng Ying nodded after hearing Yi Wen's words, this short-haired girl looked very confident in Xiao Shuxiang's abilities.
"You're right, my brother is not that weak. We'll take some time until Brother Xiao recovers,"
Jing Mi and her seven siblings stared at Wyvern, the dragon so haughtily standing on top of the huge Demon Lotus Tree while looking at this battle.
They focused themselves on absorbing the Qi of nature directly. The practice of Jing Mi as well as her siblings increased and only stopped after they reached the White Gold Level Foundation Master.
!!
The appearance of Wyvern made Tianqi Mao and Shuai Niao feel pressure on their bodies. All the surviving Demonic Beasts also felt it. To them, the appearance of Wyvern was not good news despite being a Demonic Beast.
One of the five pieces of the Moving Mirror faded, Tianqi Mao could see the ten people he assigned to form the mirror began to be on the verge of boundary. There are still many people they need to save.
Hu Li was seen among the junior disciples of the Butterfly Sect, he did not go to war because he had the task of guarding his master's brothers.
There was a feeling that said her master was in danger, but she was like Yi Wen, believing that her master would definitely be fine.
Tianqi Mao himself seemed to be focusing more on the protective seal that enveloped his residence, but he slowly divided his focus to make the Moving Mirror elsewhere.
You could say, her Transferring Mirror was connected to Xiao Shuxiang's mirror seal. There were three locations where the Moving Mirror appeared, it was the territory of the Stone Land, the residence of Shuai Niao, and where Ping Gou was located.
Tianqi Mao was assisted by Hu Li, Hun Fung, and a disciple of the Blood Skull Sect. These three people entered into the Moving Mirror and appeared in three different locations.
They then invited everyone at the location they were heading to to go to Tianqi Mao's place.
Hu Li appeared in the Land of Stone, the citizens apparently gathered in the suburbs with Nie Shang. The shaking ground made them afraid to be in the house.
The Land of Stone was also shrouded in dark clouds, yet there was no heavy rain falling like in the three Empires at the moment. Thundering lightning also did not exist, it was only visible from a distance, so it could be said.. The ground stone is quite safe by rain and lightning.
The only problem was the shock to the soil they were exposed to. The harshness of the ground did not guarantee them survival from the stray attacks that might have come.
"Hu Li?!"
Nie Shang and the citizens of Land of Stone were delighted when they saw Hu Li. At first, they thought they were forgotten.
Hu Li only briefly explained, he then invited Nie Shang and the citizens to enter the Moving Mirror.
Not only did Nie Shang feel forgotten, but Ping Gou did as well. The mouse-shaped Demonic Beast was already very anxious, thank God Hun Fung came and invited him to evacuate.
Ping Gou invited the other Demonic Beasts, they would have to leave the Mother Mountain if they still wanted to live.
The appearance of the Demonic Beast in the Tianqi Mao residence made all the humans shocked, but slowly they started to be able to accept it.
BLAARS!
The thunderous roar of lightning grew louder, the fight hotter than before. Ling Lang Tian was unable to bring Xiao Shuxiang to where Zhou Yan was to be treated, as the alchemist was fighting with the upper pillar of the Scarlet Shadow, Zhe Eryu.
THE TRAANG!
Ling Lang Tian was only able to fend off the attack that came with his protective seal, he was unable to move due to having to support Xiao Shuxiang's body.
"You don't sleep,"
Ling Lang Tian felt Xiao Shuxiang's body getting colder, and it was compounded by the rush of rain.
"You're troublesome. Why not just die,"
"I.. I want it to be, too,"
Ling Lang Tian actually invited Xiao Shuxiang to continue talking so that this young man would not fall asleep. It was just that his words were too cold and tart, not in accordance with his eyes that contained worry.
When setting foot for the first time in the Eastern Continent, Ling Lang Tian throughout his journey had always heard of the Destroying Star.
From the children playing roles to the merchants, the story of the Destroying Star was the first information Ling Lang Tian knew.
Not to mention about the fact that many small children have names similar to the Destroying Star. On his way, it was not uncommon for him to also hear the name used by some cultivators in the three Streams.
He believes that one can go crazy if one continues to be haunted by that name. The Eastern Continent was completely different from where he lived.
THE TRAANG!
"Don't you have a really great title? But you look weak, you suck."
Xiao Shuxiang actually wanted to hit Ling Lang Tian right now and cursed the big brother of the White Cat all out, but his physical condition was not in good shape.
"You don't.. Just know.. It feels. when your life is pulled out,"
!!
Ling Lang Tian was surprised when Xiao Shuxiang again spewed blood, this young man continued to refrain from groaning in pain.
Ling Lang Tian did not know what to do, Xiao Shuxiang would die if the blood in his stomach and his internal injuries were not treated immediately. The problem was, the body of this young man who was frequently disturbing his sister rejected his Qi.
Xiao Shuxiang in a soft and seemingly disjointed voice said that his blood and Qi were different from those of cultivators and humans in general.
".. You're.. Huh.. Hold on as you can.."
"That's what I'm doing right now,"
Ling Lang Tian used his Qi to push back some controlled cultivators, he also had to withstand the lightning addressed to him.
THE TRAANG!
Ling Lang Tian instantly recalled about the pill he had obtained while exploring an ancient tomb, leaving two grains on his sister and another one still on her.
Whether the pill was effective or not, he felt the need to give it a try. It seemed that Ling Lang Tian did not know that the pill was Xiao Shuxiang's own making.
He told Xiao Shuxiang to swallow the Dragon Breath Pill, but the young man said that Ling Lang Tian needed it more.
"You can't be silly. So open your mouth, quick,"
Xiao Shuxiang stared at Ling Lang Tian for a moment before eating the pill in the hands of the elder brother of Ling Qing Zhu.
From the look in his eyes, Xiao Shuxiang was like wanting to say that the Dragon Breath Pill was his, he was the one who had exchanged the White Jade Flute for the pill.
!!
One of the attacks from Zhe Eryu led to Ling Lang Tian and Xiao Shuxiang. This attack included a huge, protective seal Ling Lang Tian even broke, lucky for a sword to shoot out quickly and fend off the attack.
THE TRAANG!
Tap
A young man who was none other than Lan Guan Zhi as well as the owner of the old sword set his foot where Xiao Shuxiang and Ling Lang Tian were.
!
The moment Lan Guan Zhi darted swiftly from the Sky Sword Sect towards this place earlier.. His feelings are starting to feel bad.
And the appearance of the Wyvern Dragon and the severely injured Xiao Shuxiang proved that unpleasant feeling.
"Shuxiang, please,"
"Lan Zhi's.. You're too.. Long,"
Xiao Shuxiang spewed blood, he was clearly already almost on the verge of his limit. Ling Lang Tian asked Lan Guan Zhi to take Xiao Shuxiang to safety, while he would face the Wyvern Dragon.
Lan Guan Zhi nodded, he pulled the sword that was stuck before and sheathed it back.
He kept the sword with Yinng xiong in the universal Bracelet. Lan Guan Zhi then carried Xiao Shuxiang on his back.
The reason why Ling Lang Tian chose Lan Guan Zhi to take Xiao Shuxiang away was because he was the one who could stall for longer by fighting Wyvern.
Ling Lang Tian's practice was clearly above Lan Guan Zhi and might have exceeded that of Zhou Yan. Moreover, he had not used the sealed power on his forehead until now.
Lan Guan Zhi asked Ling Lang Tian to be careful, he too would return soon.
After Lan Guan Zhi carried away Xiao Shuxiang, Ling Lang Tian began to take a breath for a moment and target one of the upper pillars of the Scarlet Shadow.
The next instant Ling Lang Tian shot out, looking like a white scarf that curved along with blackish smoke.
His body was only clearly visible when the claw of his hand injured Tu Liao until the top pillar of the Scarlet Shadow that wore a brush as its weapon bounced to the ground.
A BAAAM!
The attack from Ling Lang Tian was so violent. He had all this time held back his strength because the humans he fought before were controlled, but now were different.
"If this was just about your continent, I would never want to get involved.."
The presence of Wyvern made Ling Lang Tian worry about the Central Continent. What happens when the creature achieves its goal! One thing for sure is that there will be massive chaos.
Ling Lang Tian did not let Tu Liao catch his breath, he again attacked the girl, this time with a fist that flowed his Qi.
A BAAAM!
Ling Lang Tian's strength was truly great, even the war had stopped because of it. Wyvern who was still upright standing on top of the Moon Lotus Tree also glanced at the origin of the loud thump earlier.
Just one jump with a little bit of power from Wyvern had already made the ground shake even to the point of cracking.
Ling Lang Tian without the aid of a flying sword instantly floated in the air and took some distance from the huge Demonic Beast.
"You seem to have power equal to the Destroying Star.. This is good, so I just need you and Zhou Yan to open the world gates of my people,"
Wyvern used his mind to speak to Ling Lang Tian. He then smiled as he revealed his terrifying sharp teeth.
"You're nothing but a lowly animal,"
Ling Lang Tian disappeared, eve of his existence completely unable to feel Wyvern.
BLAARS!
Five lightning bolts instantly struck Wyvern at once, but the Demonic Beast's body did not suffer any injuries at all. Wyvern darted straight through the clouds, sunlight could be seen, but it was slowly again covered by the darkness.
The lightning just now was none other than made by Ling Lang Tian using Tu Liao's weapon. This big brother of Ling Qing Zhu had the ability to absorb the opponent's Qi and fuse it with his own.
Tu Liao's weapon was a brush made of condensed Qi, a rare talent and could only be carried by a certain person.
However, Ling Lang Tian was clearly a talented young man from the Middle Continent. His abilities were far above his sister's, he was intelligent and underestimating her was the same as inviting death.
Ling Lang Tian chose to fight on the clouds so that he could concentrate fully. He was sure the cultivators down there could withstand if there was a stray attack from his fight with Wyvern.
Although he believed in his abilities, it did not mean that Ling Lang Tian did not need any help. He is stalling as much time as he can, until the help comes and must really come.
BLAARS!
A BAAAM!
Lan Guan Zhi could hear the roar of lightning as well as a loud thump. He kept darting and looking for a safe place for this young man he was carrying.
Several times he rebuked Xiao Shuxiang not to fall asleep let alone close his eyes. The condition of his friend would get worse if he dared to sleep, another possibility Xiao Shuxiang could lose his life.
"Shuxiang, can you hear me? Don't sleep,"
!
Lan Guan Zhi was shocked when he no longer felt his friend's heartbeat. He immediately darted down and set his foot in front of one of the trees not far from the river's lips.
Lan Guan Zhi carefully lowered his friend, he laid Xiao Shuxiang under a tree and began to check the condition of the young man.
!!
The entire flow of Xiao Shuxiang's blood came to a halt, his friend's Qi was not even felt, His soul fire dimmed rapidly. Lan Guan Zhi continued to call out Xiao Shuxiang's name while occasionally patting his friend's cheeks softly.
Lan Guan Zhi felt like time had stopped when he held the hand of his extremely cold friend. The lack of response from Xiao Shuxiang frightened him.
"Shuxiang's? … Xiang'Er? … Xiang'Er..!"
A frightening conclusion flashed through Lan Guan Zhi's mind with his friend's current condition. Xiao Shuxiang's body was dead and the soul fire of this young man had dimmed.
"Xiang'Er..?"
Lan Guan Zhi's eyes looked very sad, his face showed deep regret. There was nothing he could do to help his friend, whereas Xiao Shuxiang had once saved him from death.
It was raining so hard, it was unknown whether the water that had soaked Lan Guan Zhi's face was mixed with tears or not, but from her gaze.. It clearly contains sadness.
!!
Lan Xiao who was in the middle of the battle suddenly growled loudly and stomped his feet on the ground.
The patterns on his body shone brightly and his eyes turned red. The fur on the outskirts of Lan Xiao's mouth suddenly turned black as the Moon Tiger revealed its sharp teeth.
!!
The entire cultivator sensed that there was a stream of pure Qi mixed with small lightning on the ground that they were striking. They were shocked as the wounds on their bodies disappeared, replaced with a great amount of energy.
THE GRRAAOOR!
Lan Xiao again growled, he darted through the clouds and precisely attacked Wyvern who was fighting with Ling Lang Tian.
Lan Xiao's face looked angry. He thought Xiao Shuxiang was fine because the power of the Alchemist whom he considered mother was still in this place.
But Lan Xiao was wrong. Xiao Shuxiang's strength was still his because the Alchemist-rooted Dantian was inside Wyvern's body.
He had just realized something bad had happened to Xiao Shuxiang when his heart suddenly ached like it had been hit by a huge stone.
Just like the Moon Tiger, Lan Guan Zhi also felt it. He continued to call out his friend's name and tried to drain his Qi to treat the deep wounds of this young man but was instead rejected.
