XIAO SHUXIANG'S
283 - Towards the Black Harbour
Every city in the Eternal Ice Empire was always enveloped with a protective seal, this condition made cultivators like Xiao Shuxiang and Hu Li unable to fly over it.
The seal also serves to prevent people who do not have the consent of a guard or special token that helps them to enter.
The situation that always snows makes many residents never travel out of town if the trip is not important, therefore when a city is attacked from within.. The information will be slow to reach the ears of other city residents.
Washi had just received a mission to slaughter Demonic Beasts before the beasts entered the Mooncloud City and wreaked havoc. But apparently the mission was too slow he accepted. The City of the Moon Clump had fallen into the hands of Demonic Beasts.
"Damn it," Washi's voice growled, his right hand holding the katana looking firmly clenched. He noticed one of the Demonic Beasts holding a human hand piece from a roof.
Taiga who was beside him also looked full of anger, both of them were just about to move but something suddenly flashed and hit the Demonic Beast.
!!
Washi and Taiga were surprised, something that was none other than Xiao Shuixang. Their new friend was like surrendering to die from attacking the Demonic Beast batch without any plan.
"Does he not love life?!"
Washi is not out of thought with the madness of his new friend. Not yet lost the shock of his face, suddenly Yuuichi darted from one of the buildings and together with Xiao Shuxiang himself attacked the monsters.
THE TRAANG!
Sparks are seen when two weapons clash violently. The human-bodied Demonic Beast used a wide and serrated sword, a powerful weapon to tear the opponent's body apart.
"Man is not self-conscious! Great as well as your guts attacking my place,"
"Oh, you seem to be able to talk?"
Just once the weapon struck from Xiao Shuxiang, the Demonic Beast was pushed seven meters away. Though his body size was three times larger than the red-clothed youth.
These Demonic Beasts were 2000 to 3000 Years old. Being able to have a human body and also being able to speak smoothly there was only one possibility, they had used a Forbidden Technique.
"Not just in the East.. That technique was also on this Continent.."
Xiao Shuxiang while fending off and replying to the incoming attack.. He was also thinking, how could the Forbidden Technique be that easy to find and learn? Especially by the Demonic Beast whose incident is a beast. The worst possibility is that someone is behind all this.
THE TRAANG!
Yuuichi himself was fighting two monsters at once, his other friends started to come out of hiding when he saw himself overwhelmed.
"You okay, Yuuichi?" Washi asked when he was near his friend, but his gaze remained focused on the opponent.
"Mn, you take care of the back. Leave the one here to me,"
After saying so, Yuuichi immediately sped up. He attacked the two Demonic Beasts without the slightest fear. His eyes even showed a flash, he seemed to have long wanted this kind of fight.
THE TRAANG!
Washi did not want to lose, he and Taiga used their flagship sword technique. Both of them were not cultivators, hence compared to Qi.. They use Breathing Techniques.
"Brazed man! Die you..!"
One of the monsters growled, a thin black smoke bursting out from under his feet. This aura was so concentrated and quickly began to spread widely, Washi and Taiga who saw it instantly jumped backwards.
There were about three monsters that could give off an aura as intense as this, they never messed around when fighting with warriors.
A BAAAM!
One Demonic Beast slammed into a tree until it fell. Not yet had he stood up, suddenly the attack came back and hit the middle of his chest.
"Aakh..!" his screeches were restrained, in an instant he had lost his life with his eyes tucked upwards.
The hand that pierced through his chest began to be attracted. The red-clothed youth who was none other than Xiao Shuxiang began to catch his breath, "The paralysis pill I burned seemed to be ineffective on these monsters, and was instead extremely powerful on humans.."
Xiao Shuxiang felt that he had made a mistake. He then darted towards the other Demonic Beasts and occasionally noticed the citizens of the Moon Clump City who were still cooped up, they drooped limply while standing up for all their might.
Unfortunately their efforts were in vain, the thin smoke from the pill of paralysis that was burned by the little Blue Flame Xiao Shuxiang would continue to have an effect for over three hours. Trying as hard as they can, they will still not be able to escape.
"W-what's this..?!"
?!
Xiao Shuxiang flinched upon hearing the exclamation from Washi, his new friend fell down suddenly and had trouble standing up. He had just realized that he had not given the antidote from his pill to his new friends other than Elder Da Lin's descendants.
The location of Xiao Qing Yan fighting was quite close to Washi, seeing the young man get an attack from behind made him slide his proper katana glove against the Demonic Beast's wrist until the weapon was released.
Washi rolled over with all his might to avoid the incoming attack. Not only had he suddenly fallen, but Taiga, Yuuichi, Yota, and Hu Li were as well.
Their legs suddenly limp, this is very dangerous. Moreover, the opponent turned out to not only number ten, they were actually in a worrying condition.
THE TRAANG!
Yuuichi was still trying to resist the attack even though both of his legs were hard to move, he heard Xiao Shuxiang's exclamation telling him to catch something.
His hand caught the thing that Xiao Shuxiang threw, without asking first he started to swallow the thing that was apparently a milky white pill.
Xiao Shuxiang also threw pills at Washi, Hu Li, and his other companions. He did not find it difficult while doing so despite fighting two Demonic Beasts at once.
THE TRAANG!
In just one breath, Yuuichi's legs began to move back. However, an attack from one of the monsters hit his left arm.
The blue flames of Xiao Shuxiang who was still burning the pill instantly flew towards Yuuichi and enveloped his body. It didn't take long until all the wounds on the young man's body recovered instantly.
!!
"Who are you really?!" One of the Demonic Beasts that faced Yuuichi showed a sense of shock, it was a pity that he asked the sparing young man.
Yuuichi instantly disappeared from his sight, yet he had time to turn his head.. An attack came from his left.
Within the blink of an eye, the Demonic Beast's right arm fell down along with the outbreak of screeching sounds due to the pain it was suffering from.
"Big..!"
Yuuichi again slashed the arm of the Demonic Beast, his strength increasing ever since his body was enveloped by Xiao Shuxiang's small blue flames.
"Yeah..! The humans.. Less Teaching..!"
Screeches rang out again, Yuuichi did not immediately finish off the Demonic Beast. He instead went away and aimed an attack at the other Demonic Beasts. Yuuichi seemed to let the monster he slashed earlier die from blood loss.
THE TRAANG!
It was not only Yuuichi who liked to hear the grimace of his opponents, but Xiao Shuxiang did as well. Either since when the White Jade Flute in his hand changed to Yinng xiong, with the sword he was able to give a deadly slash to the opponent.
CRAASH!
Yinng xiong was not at all generous when his opponent was a Demonic Beast. He was like a sword starving with flesh and blood.
Just once a slash, the Demonic Beast that Xiao Shuxiang was fighting turned into a wisp of rotten flesh. And just one stab, the opponent immediately became bones because his flesh and blood were sucked by Yinng xiong.
THE TRAANG!
There were about thirty Demonic Beasts that they had to face, the Yota that seemed the most difficult. His small body is able to dodge agile to avoid incoming attacks, but he is difficult to kill opponents with this small body and energy.
"Tsk, since I've had a hard time killing him. Really weak..!" Yota cursed to herself, she jumped backwards and began to collect breaths.
"A boy like you deserves to be my meal..!"
"Don't ever call me 'Bokah', ugly beast..! Call me 'Young Master'..!"
Yota and his opponent darted at each other, while in the middle.. Suddenly, Yota disappeared. The Demonic Beast he was facing looked surprised, but the next second an attack came from the bottom.
!!
A slash hit the human-bodied Demonic Beast's vital area, he shrieked in pain as he rolled on the ground. The veins on his neck and forehead were clearly visible, so tense as if they were almost out of the skin.
"YESY..!"
His shout was so loud, both of his hands firmly gripped the lower half of his body. Yota could see there was blood pouring out on the sidelines of the Demonic Beast's fingers.
Yota snorted while rubbing his katana on the cloth wrapped in his left arm, as the blood on his katana blade slowly disappeared.
"It seems that now you know, to not mess with a boy," Yota's voice was so cold. He still noticed how the Demonic Beast in front of him was screaming in pain.
In the next instant, Yota slashed the Demonic Beast's head without any hesitation at all. He is still 6 years old.. It really is a deadly trick if the opponent considers it only 'Children'.
THE TRAANG!
Not only Yota, but this also applied to Xiao Qing Yan. Her short hair and adorable 10-year-old face hide her true identity.
Xiao Qing Yan was extremely good at evasiveness, his every attack was also measurable and sharp. His sword technique he got while at Tomoaki Maeno's place, and most of it was his own.
"Review your neck..!"
!!
The Demonic Beast that was fighting Xiao Qing Yan immediately used its weapon to fend off the attack from above, it was a pity that the warning from this brat was just a trick. The real attack is in the stomach.
CRAASH..!
The Demonic Beast did not have time to dodge, Xiao Qing Yan's katana made a deep beautiful line in its stomach area, blood spurting out along with a shrill shrill voice.
THE TRAANG!
Fighting in over an hour was not a problem at all for Xiao Qing Yan and his other companions. It was just that the people who enjoyed this fight the most were Yuuichi and Xiao Shuxiang.
CRAASH..!
Smiles never disappeared from the faces of the two, they toyed with the opponent by simply slashing at parts such as the arms and thighs, then letting the opponent exhale last for blood loss.
Xiao Shuxiang and Yuuichi seemed to be competing, they asked each other about how many Demonic Beasts had already been killed.
"We'll die if we keep fighting them, let's go."
"Where are you guys going?"
!!
The three Demonic Beasts were intending to escape, but suddenly Hu Li blocked their path. The white-haired young man was also a Demonic Beast, yet in the form of a fox.
Hu Li was younger than those Demonic Beasts and he also used the Forbidden Technique to become human, but his fighting ability was far above those monsters.
"Don't expect you guys to be able to leave without leaving your head in this place,"
Pii..!
O Zhan who was above Hu Li's head also made a sound, he immediately jumped up and attacked one of the Demonic Beasts ferociously. His body, which was originally only a kitten, suddenly became large, almost two meters.
Hu Li did not remain silent, himself using a fist that flowed Qi to attack his opponent. Each of his punches contained a great amount of power and produced a loud sound when clashing with weapons.
THE TRAANG!
Among the warriors they were fighting, only Xiao Shuxiang was the one they were avoiding the most.
That young man could kill them in an instant, this was because his sword contained a very deadly poison. Especially now, not only Yinng xiong in his hands.. Yet Xiao Shuxiang also took out his Soul Sword.
"If it does not die into a lump of flesh, it will surely die into bones. That terrible weapon.. How could a cultivator of the White Stream have?!"
"His red sword was also very terrifying, I saw the opponent's body turn jet black like it had just been struck by lightning due to the effect of his attack,"
These Demonic Beasts seemed to have misjudged Xiao Shuxiang, the young man indeed had a friendly face and his speech style also seemed friendly. However, it did not mean that he was a White Flow cultivator.
CRAASH..!
Xiao Shuxiang stabbed a Demonic Beast again, his own body filled with sword incisions. But in three breaths his condition returned to normal, although his clothes seemed torn in some parts.
The Demonic Beasts felt riled up, they were overwhelmed and clearly desperate. There was a condition in which one of them saw Taiga badly injured and nearly exhaled his last breath, but a small blue flame burned the young man's body and then his wounds healed instantly.
"Against only a few people, but they can't seem to die. Whereas there are only two cultivators among them, this does not benefit us.."
"I know that too, but how can we go?"
The chests of two Demonic Beasts were seen going up and down, both of them getting a lot of scars. They could do nothing but attack with all their might, the aura they released had absolutely no effect and this was certainly alarming.
"Damn it..!"
Only swearing and angry gazes could they let out. In front of an absolute power, these Demonic Beasts were incapable of anything to do. Just wait for the time until they get their turn cut.
One of the Demonic Beasts who did not want to die used the humans inside the cage to become a hostage. Unfortunately Xiao Shuxiang's speed in swinging Yinng xiong, making the Demonic Beast's plan fail.
CRAASH..!
Right after Xiao Shuxiang split the Demonic Beast's body into two pieces as well as slashed its head.. The fight finally met.
Xiao Shuxiang exhaled, he circulated his gaze around to see the corpses of the Demonic Beasts he and his companions had killed.
Not far behind him, Yuuichi also appeared to be exhaling. He then sheathed his katana back and then gathered with his friends. The blue flame that enveloped his body was unknown since when it disappeared.
Xiao Shuxiang himself reinserted Ying xiong into his Semestal Bracelet. His Soul Sword also slowly became a reddish-colored thin smoke and slowly disappeared.
The residents of the Moon Rumpun city were still unable to move. Ever since the fight of these warriors, they felt that a savior had come.
In the fight earlier, not a single one of the citizens of the Moon Clump City let out a sound for fear of disturbing the concentration of the warriors.
Some of those who had previously cried out in fear because of the actions of the Demonic Beasts also appeared to be silent as their helpers fought.
Washi and Taiga started to take out the citizens, but indeed the effect of Xiao Shuxiang's pill was still not gone.
"Young Master, it looks like our business here is done,"
"really. We'll rest for a while before we continue our journey,"
Hu Li nodded in agreement with his Young Master's remark. After resting for 15 minutes and changing clothes with the better-Xiao Shuxiang, Xiao Qing Yan, Hu Li and O Zhan began to continue on the journey.
They are escorted by Washi to Black Harbor by riding a tiger belonging to Yota. Meanwhile, Yuuichi and his two friends decide to remain in the Moon Crop City to help the citizens.
