XIAO SHUXIANG'S
235 - Naughty IV
Lan Xiao touched Li Qian Xie's head with his nose, the life energy of this Moon Tiger was immense and he could heal a person to recovery as long as the person was still breathing.
The sword on Li Qian Xies body was drawn out by itself. The wounds on this girl's body began to close and her breathing stabilized again.
Lan Xiao also healed Xiao Lu, he slightly snored and rubbed his nose on Ling Lang Tian's head.
"That means he likes you,"
Feng Ying smiled as she looked at Ling Lang Tian as if jolted at Lan Xiao's snoring. But he still has a calm face.
Elsewhere, Dai Chen had to fight with two Demonic Beasts in the form of Fire-drawn Tigers. He was almost killed if not immediately helped by Jing Mi, Yi Wen, and Zhi Shu.
Jing Mi and the other cultivators were too focused on saving their comrades, not realizing that the leaves on the Demon Lotus Tree were only five pieces left. And this moment has fallen..
BLAARS!
!!
The five Demonic Beasts controlled by the Demon Lotus Tree were unable to hold their balance as the ground shook violently.
Even Yi Wen and a few other cultivators fell down as well. They instantly closed their ears and eyes when they heard a very loud strange sound.
This was the growl of the Wyvern dragon. The growl was heard simultaneously with the sound of a volcanic eruption in the region of the Sun-Drowning Empire.
"My ear hurts. Who was actually fighting that dragon?! He must have made that Demonic Beast very angry,"
Yi Wen became afraid when his eardrum was broken. The ground was still trembling and there seemed to be no sign that the tremors on the ground it was treading on would stop.
This trembling ground actually came from two different places. One of Zhou Yan's battles with Zhe Eryu in the Rising Sun Empire, and another was Xiao Shuxiang's fight against Wyvern.
As a result of this tremor, the two leaves of the Demon Lotus Tree were now deciduous. The flower on each stalk of the huge tree gave off a radiance so beautiful, it was very inappropriate for the term 'Devil' to be pinned on it.
Unfortunately, this tree whose flowers are so beautiful has carrion-eating roots. He can also control Demonic Beasts to make them food-seeking tools for him.
BLAARS!
Ling Lan Tian put Xiao Lu to sleep slowly on the ground, he then closed his eyes slowly and pulled out his heirloom sword.
The ground was still shaking, yet Ling Lang Tian had no other choice. He had to destroy the Demon Lotus Tree just like Xiao Shuxiang had said.
Lan Guan Zhi also drew his sword, he had the same thoughts as his friend, Xiao Shuxiang. Wyvern appeared and the Moon Lotus Tree also existed.. There must be a relationship between the two.
Lan Guan Zhi and Ling Lang Tian darted along with the sword that swung towards the Demon Lotus Tree.
!!
A controlled Demonic Beast became a shield for the lotus tree. He immediately suffered severe injuries and difficulty waking up.
The other Demonic Beasts also protected the tree, although their legs were several times unable to stand properly due to this powerful tremor.
BLAARS!
Xiao Shuxiang's fight with Wyvern made the previously pitch-black clouds slowly fade away.
The sky was slightly visible, yet Xiao Shuxiang was unable to enjoy its beauty for the time being. He still had to fight against the incarnate dragon of the Thick Beard Grandfather.
"Although I have ties to three Demonic Beasts in your people's world, I won't let them get to this place,"
Xiao Shuxiang made his soul sword disappear. He condensed Qi on both of his fists and shot towards Wyvern.
"You Won't Be able to Beat Me..!"
"Heh, you seem to have forgotten the pain in the bone in your broken left wing. Do you want me to give you again?"
Xiao Shuxiang's eye color turned red. He became a thin puff of smoke and fused with the air. Her existence had completely disappeared.
"Again this style?!"
Wyvern has lost twice, his left wing some time ago has been broken twice. He was unable to heal his wounds any faster since the leaves on the Demon Lotus Tree had not all fallen off.
!!
Wyvern yelled again, this time the one that hurt was his right wing. He spouted acid that instantly enveloped his body so that Xiao Shuxiang could melt. Unfortunately, the pain he was suffering from was getting worse.
"People Less..!!"
Although Wyvern's body was huge, it was not a problem for Xiao Shuxiang. After all, in his first life.. He had always faced off against a large-sized Demonic Beast.
There was no need to go all the way remembering, Xiao Shuxiang even if he wanted to.. He was able to lift Lan Xiao whose size almost matched Wyvern's body.
"This is my best shot..!"
A BAAAM!
Xiao Shuxiang blew his right fist after making Wyvern plunge freely towards the volcano's lava. He remembered the upper pillar of the Scarlet Shadow that was similar to Shouxing.
".. Both have the same fate. But, I won't take pity on you, Lan Gaozu!"
Xiao Shuxiang took out his Soul Sword, he used the Fire Respiratory Technique and directly darted towards the volcano's lava to attack Wyvern again.
Along with his attack.. Ling Lang Tian and Lan Guan Zhi managed to subvert the Demon Lotus Tree before the final leaf fell.
BLAARS!
!!
Surprisingly, the Devil Lotus Tree grew back and this time.. No more last leaves. Six pieces of lightning of different colors emerged from the Devil Lotus Tree and shot up into the sky.
The lightning hit the crater of the volcano where Wyvern and Xiao Shuxiang were.
!!
The eruption was unavoidable, but this time Xiao Shuxiang's body and clothes did not melt, he was protected by his Heavenly Heirloom and Fire Phoenix spirit.
The spirit had returned, its size was much larger than what Xiao Shuxiang had seen before. The Fire Phoenix attacked Wyvern without pause at all, he was aided by Xiao Shuxiang.
!!
The fall of the last leaf made Wyvern even stronger. He sucked the heavy load that the volcano contained to further add to its strength.
!!
Wyvern used acid to obscure Xiao Shuxiang's view. He attacked the cultivator with his tail until Xiao Shuxiang hit the ground.
The wounds on Wyvern's body were now healed, he immediately flew at high speed towards where the Demon Lotus Tree was located.
In the Empire of the Rising Sun now, Zhou Yan was now able to snatch the Moon Slash Sword from Zhe Eryu's hands.
He nearly killed the upper pillar of the Scarlet Shadow but the cultivator instantly became a puff of blackish smoke and disappeared without a trace.
Zhou Yan used the Moon Slash Sword as a buffer against his body. He did not think that he could fight all out like this, he had many injuries but was lucky that Zhou Yan was an Alchemist.
After swallowing his homemade pill, Zhou Yan took a breath for a moment and again shot towards the Sun Drowning Empire.
!!
The presence of Wyvern made Patriarch Lan, Jing Mi and his brothers as well as the cultivators who were still conscious shocked. The body of this dragon looked bigger and much stronger than before.
A black smoke appeared under the Demon Lotus Tree. The smoke formed a human form that turned out to be Zhe Eryu, the second pillar of the Scarlet Shadow.
"It's time for the final plan.."
Zhe Eryu and the five previously controlled Demonic Beasts were sucked into the Demon Lotus Tree along with Wyvern whose body turned a blackish-red color.
!!
"Here, my body can't move..!"
"Me too!"
Not only Jing Mi and Yi Wen, but the entire cultivator who set his foot on the ground was unable to move.
Lan Guan Zhi and Ling Lang Tian who had previously attacked the Demon Lotus Tree were still floating in the air, hence they were not affected by anything Wyvern did.
The dragon moved its tail to attack Lan Guan Zhi, but Ling Lang Tian immediately repelled the attack until he subconsciously stepped on the ground.
!!
Ling Lang Tian's legs were like they were firmly stuck to the ground, despite using all his strength.. He still cannot escape.
Free to fight, they had entered into the trap of Wyven's true possession.
Not only did the dragon need the strength of Zhou Yan and Ling Lang Tian whose practices were higher than other cultivators. But he needed all the power that existed in the Three Empires, both from carrion and animate beings.
!!
The newly arrived Xiao Shuxiang immediately shot towards Lan Guan Zhi and pulled his friend's hand to fly higher.
AAAKHS!
One by one the cultivators cried out in pain, Qi like being sucked out from inside their bodies. This scene was clearly terrifying, as their bodies suddenly grew thin and grew old.
!!
Zhou Yan also looked surprised, he shot up at such a high speed that he was able to reach this place but was instead treated to a frightening sight.
!!
The Wyvern Dragon was like being bathed in white light emanating from the Qi belonging to cultivators as well as their life energy. He laughed and said that no one could stop him.
Wyvern sneered by saying Xiao Shuxiang is just a weak ordinary human being. Wyvern was too arrogant with his stolen power, without realizing that Xiao Shuxiang's face still looked calm.
"I'm giving you time, Wyvern. You're a dragon that's been sealed for hundreds or maybe thousands of years.. Consider it a gift from me. Do as you please because you will get the payback, soon.."
!!
Lan Guan Zhi saved as many cultivators as he could, not only the person Xiao Shuxiang had said.. But also other cultivators.
Xiao Shuxiang could see Jing Mi and her friends shouting, she was jolted when her mother was also in pain.
Lan Guan Zhi could not save everything, he floated back and stood beside his friend.
Xiao Shuxiang could see Lan Guan Zhi clenching his hands, the face of this young man was still calm, yet he could see there was a hint of anger in Lan Guan Zhi's eyes.
"Lan Zhi, can you still fly at high speed?"
What Xiao Shuxiang saw was none other than the Sacrifice Manager. This was clearly a refined stance and its scope was more expanded than he had ever experienced.
".. You get out of here. The further away from the Eastern Continent, the better. I'm going to kill that Demonic Beast.."
Xiao Shuxiang asked Lan Guan Zhi to trust him. She doesn't like to see her mother and her friends tormented.
Lan Guan Zhi actually wanted to leave, yet he was worried about the safety of the cultivators who were the victims of the Wyvern dragon.
BLAARS!
!!
A gate began to form in the sky, it was made of a reddish-black light. Zhou Yan approached Xiao Shuxiang and Lan Guan Zhi upon seeing the two young men.
"Finished already, we've done our best.."
Zhou Yan touched the shoulders of Xiao Shuxiang and Lan Guan Zhi, he couldn't possibly resist a force of this magnitude.
".. Even if we unite the remaining forces.. It won't stop him.."
"Chairman, do you know why I have the title 'The Destroying Star'?"
Xiao Shuxiang calmly said that his dantian did not possess this weak power. He was actually annoyed that Lan Gaozu did not make good use of his Rooted Dantian.
".. He's humiliating me,"
"Which side are you on?"
Zhou Yan felt as if Xiao Shuxiang was on Wyvern's side. Don't tell me that this young man deliberately gave up his Rooted Dantian from the very beginning?! If that's true.. So Xiao Shuxiang was already far from saying brat.
Xiao Shuxiang scratched his non-itchy cheeks, his eyes looking like he was avoiding Zhou Yan. This action made the Alchemist and Lan Guan Zhi shocked.
".. Xiao'Er?! Since the Beginning You Deliberately Give Your Dantian To Him?!"
"Shuxiang's.."
There was a sense of disbelief visible on the faces of Zhou Yan and Lan Guan Zhi. Both of them had to what with the mischievous young man had already exceeded this limit.
Xiao Shuxiang gently rubbed his nape and explained slowly that he actually wanted the roots on his dantian to disappear perfectly.
".. I was completely unintentional. It just so happened that Lan Gaozu attacked and took my Rooted Dantian, so I better lend it to you. I still have one anyway.."
!!
"You! Don't you know the impact of your actions?! Look at all that! You're making three empires messy. Holy shit..! Why can there be a human like you in this world..!"
Zhou Yan was eager to get angry, but he was already too shaken after learning of the shocking fact.
Lan Guan Zhi was just silent, himself staring at Xiao Shuxiang with eyes that contained calmness. She knew that this friend of hers was very naughty, but it was unexpected that Xiao Shuxiang's mischief had reached such a terrifying level.
Lan Guan Zhi exhaled softly, he might have given up on overcoming how mischievous the young man beside him was.
If only the two of them knew what Xiao Shuxiang had always done in the Demon World.. Maybe they won't be too surprised.
"I'd love to kill you, Xiao'Er. I really want to chop you up..! You're a Little Devil..!"
Zo Yan flanked Xiao Shuxiang's neck on his left armpit, and grinded the young man's head with his fist knuckle.
Xiao Shuxiang tried to persuade Zhou Yan not to chop him up first. He still had to take out his Rooted Dantian and exterminate Wyvern.
".. Once this is done, you can do anything to me. Wanting to chop me up, burn me, cut me up, or warm my bed, I'll do it. Okay?"
!!
"Who wants to make you a warm bed. You perverted-brained brat! How dare you talk to me like that?!"
"Elders don't have to be this excited. If you don't want to, it's okay too. I can warm Lan Zhi's bed,"
!!
Lan Guan Zhi instantly snapped stubbornly at Xiao Shuxiang upon hearing his name being called. Not a good time to joke, but his friend started again.
"Shameless, you're a man."
"I can be a woman if you want to,"
Lan Guan Zhi clenched both hands, his face still looking calm, but not with the look in his eyes.
Zhou Yan flinched, this was the first time he had seen Lan Guan Zhi's eyes gaze which was like it would swallow Xiao Shuxiang alive if the young man did not stop joking.
"Alright, alright. I won't tease you anymore for now, you're scary looking at me like that.."
Xiao Shuxiang asked Zhou Yan to let go. He then punched out his slightly sore nape. While tightening her hair.. Xiao Shuxiang looked towards the Demon Lotus Tree and said that it was time to get serious.
"Actually, I once wanted to get my uncle and aunt to see this world. I guess it'll be a success if Lan Gaozu isn't stopped soon,"
What Xiao Shuxiang's adoptive uncle and aunt meant was none other than Yan Xi Fan, Wu Yu, and Lui Me Tian. His adoptive family must be happy to see life in the Human World.
".. But I just need them, not the other Demonic Beasts,"
Xiao Shuxiang asked Zhou Yan and Lan Guan Zhi to leave immediately, he knew how to kill Wyvern with a single strike but the effect would be enormous.
".. And I can't push it."
"All right, I'm entrusting you. Overcome the mischief you've caused and try not to die,"
Zhou Yan and Lan Guan Zhi immediately darted, both of them leaving Xiao Shuxiang still drifting while watching the Qi forcibly come out from the bodies of his friends and the third flow cultivator.
".. The beginning of this mess is not me making it. But yah.. I'm a little involved, though,"
Xiao Shuxiang floated down, himself not setting foot on the ground. He only floated at a distance of about 50 meters away from the Wyvern Dragon.
Xiao Shuxiang could see his mother down there holding back from screaming in pain as all of her Qi was being sucked out forcibly.
Xiao Shuxiang knew that his mother borrowed Yinng xiong, but the weapon in the woman's hand was somewhat different from her sword. This is because Yinng xiong has a blackish-red blade with many small triangular motifs that look like mirrors.
It was not time to look for Yinng xiong, he was sure his mother would know the whereabouts of his sword. He has to focus on the problems that lie ahead of him.
The gate was almost open, Wyvern so haughtily called his friends. He no longer needed a weak cultivator like Xiao Shuxiang.
After the Wyverns came to this world, it is certain that humans will no longer feel the beauty of the morning sun.
The world of Man will end.
".. Be proud! Because you let me see the moments of the destruction of this world..!"
Wyvern laughed, saying he liked the screams of the humans. This kind of fun made him excited.
His freedom has come! So too with the freedom of his people.
Now humans would only be the toys and food of Demonic Beasts.
This is revenge for all the treatment of humans who often hunt and kill them.
".. Now it's your turn that we're going to hunt..!"
Xiao Shuxiang's face was still so calm, it could be said that he did not show any expression.
"You've given Lan Gaozu a chance.."
Not only Xiao WeiWei, Jing Mi, and the three flow cultivators whose life energy was sucked out to the point of being exhausted.
But also the humans and Demonic Beasts that still existed in the Three Empires, including Yang Shu, Yang Hao, the humans that were still present in the central headquarters. Even the people in the Middle Sun Emperor's palace felt the same way.
