XIAO SHUXIANG'S
304 - Black School Swordsman [Revised]
TRANGS!
Trang!
Xiao Shuxiang watched the fight between Lan Guan Zhi and Charcoal Sukma. There was no intention on her face to help her friend, this was because she felt Lan Guan Zhi could handle it herself.
"I don't know what your problem is with that person," Xiao Shuxiang spoke to Sekar Aji while using his gaze to point at Sukma Arang who continued to exchange attacks with Lan Guan Zhi, he then continued.
".. But you should be looking for a better place to fight. Do it in the middle of the city, it's a lot more crowded and a lot of people will be hit by your stray attacks,"
There is nothing better than making a mess right in the middle of a crowd. Xiao Shuxiang gave a solution if this fight was just to make a fuss.
".. I see you too from the Black Stream, just like your friend. Why hold back? You can attack me for meddling in your affairs,"
Sekar Aji, the dark red-clothed, clean-faced young man with a red dot on his forehead was a disciple of the Blood Spirit Sect, a Black Stream sect that had a headquarters in the Central Continent.
He was a talented young man with a practice who was at the Mortal Level Grand Master. He also mastered one of the six forces he learned while still a student of the Partai Rajawali.
"Sir, you misunderstood. The rules in my sect, we would never look for trouble with any cultivators and warriors if not disturbed first. What you did just now doesn't include distractions, I'm instead grateful."
Although it came from the Black Stream, in fact Sekar Aji was not a barbar youth who would swing a sword at random people.
He had better ethics and self-control, even if it was not the scent of concentrated blood that smelled on his body.. Xiao Shuxiang must have considered him a cultivator of the White Stream or perhaps the Neutral.
Trang!
Trang!
Sekar Aji said. "Sukma Arang was my friend from childhood, we both studied in the Partai Rajawali. But I was always no match for the warriors there until I decided to go out and join the Blood Spirit Sect. Unfortunately he couldn't accept that and instead accused me of treason,"
Xiao Shuxiang shook his head softly upon hearing the story from Sekar Aji. The problem is so trivial but the impact is as severe as this.
There was no suspicion on Xiao Shuxiang's face when he heard the young man beside him, because he knew that Sekar Aji was not lying.
Xiao Shuxiang's. "You guys are still both from the Black Stream, why can't he accept?"
"In this place, it is not only the competition between the White Stream and the Black Stream that exists, but also between fellow streams. All I can say.. Swordsmen and Cultivators have never gotten along on this continent,"
Sekar Aji actually wants to give understanding to his friend, but Sukma Arang never wants to hear. When he met, his friend drew a sword and attacked him.
Xiao Shuxiang himself felt puzzled by the cultivators and warriors of the Black Stream that existed in the Middle Continent. They are not like bad people, only when thought more deeply.. Indeed the nature of a person cannot be determined from which Flow he comes from.
"If only he could hear me once.. But it seemed impossible," Sekar Aji held tightly onto his sword, he then exhaled heavily and began to lower his head slowly.
Trang!
Not far in front of him, the Charcoal Sukma sword continued to clash with Lan Guan Zhi's sword. They were still fighting even to the point of interrupting Hu Li and Xiao Qing Yan's fight.
THE TRAANG!
Sukma Arang's feet stepped on the roof of one of the buildings until he fell mired, Lan Guan Zhi followed with a powerful unsheathed sword, the two again exchanged attacks inside the building without caring for chairs, tables, and chairs, and the walls are broken.
THE TRAANG!
"I don't have a problem with you. But you're really looking to die, then feel this..!" Sukma Arang uses one of his strongest techniques, it is Ajian Claw Rajawali.. He fused it with sword arts to give his opponent a deadly attack.
!!
Lan Guan Zhi's sword cracked and then shattered into pieces while resisting the Charcoal Sukma's attack. He even bounced around to hit the wall so hard.
A BAAAM!
The sound of an explosion as he hit the wall made Xiao Shuxiang stare down, he saw something darting fast and hitting a large tree, along with the creation of a thick dust.
!!
Xiao Shuxiang flinched as the dust began to thin, he could see that the one who hit the tree earlier was his friend, Lan Guan Zhi.
The young man dressed in white with a ribbon on his forehead was standing with a still looking face, he brushed aside the dust on his sleeves.
Charcoal Sukma was seen walking out of a hollow wall because it was hit by Lan Guan Zhi. He held tightly to his sword while revealing a haughty facial expression.
"You're great, but can you move your legs?"
There was a satirical tone when Sukma Arang asked, she grinned as she saw fresh blood coming out from the corner of her opponent's lips. His attack had the effect of damaging the opponent's internal organs without leaving a mark from the outside.
Lan Guan Zhi rubbed blood at the corner of his lips, he then looked at the Charcoal Sukma who was like he was preparing to attack himself again.
His sword was already a piece, but Lan Guan Zhi still had one more sword, an heirloom weapon that the Grand Elder of the Sky Pagoda Sect had given him.
"I won't let it.. You must die in this place right now..!"
Sukma Charcoal shot out so fast, just a blink of an eye and he was already in front of Lan Guan Zhi with a sword swinging strongly. But the speed of removing Shanghai from the sheath balanced the Charcoal Sukma.
THE TRAANG!
The weapons of the two clashed again, this time creating a shock wind and a sound like the roar of lightning. Shanghai is an old and rusty sword, clearly a very fragile weapon.
But while in the hands of Lan Guan Zhi, Shanghai changed. Its rusty, old, and so brittle blade became sharp, large, and luminous silvery white, a golden indentation visible in the middle of the blade of Shanghai.
"You're too proud,"
Lan Guan Zhi spoke only three words, but his calm facial expression and cold voice provoked Sukma Arang's emotions. He actually did not like to see the young man who was still acting like a noble despite having been hit by his deadly attacks.
THE TRAANG!
Fresh blood came back out from the corner of Lan Guan Zhi's lips. He was clearly suffering from deep wounds, but his face still showed calmness, he continued to move and attack Sukma Arang.
!
Shocked and confused, that is what appears on the face of Sukma Arang today. He knew his attack was strong and his opponent could not possibly move back, let alone fend off and give him a counterattack.
".. But why can this person do it?! My eagle claw could kill a cultivator in a single strike, let alone me combine it with a sword technique, it should already be him killed. Hmh!"
THE TRAANG!
One thing that the Charcoal Sukma did not know, his opponent was not an ordinary cultivator. Lan Guan Zhi had been friends with an Alchemist Chef for many years, countless number of pills he had consumed in order to save his fellow students from becoming guinea pigs.
True, Xiao Shuxiang had once made a fuss in the Sky Sword Sect when he had just become an Alchemist. The strange pill he had made had created a commotion amongst the disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect.
THE TRAANG!
No one wanted to try Xiao Shuxiang's pill after knowing that he was making a strange pill. He had trouble finding a person who was willing to become his guinea pig, and while meeting Lan Xiao to be fed.. He made a request to Lan Guan Zhi.
He was just asking ordinary questions, but who would have thought his friend would agree. Perhaps it was because of this that made Xiao Shuxiang consider Lan Guan Zhi to be his best friend.
A BAAAM!
Charcoal Sukma hit one of the walls of the house when Lan Guan Zhi's attack could not be stopped. He immediately got up and went back to attack, this time each attack without the slightest pause.
Lan Guan Zhi dodged the sword of Sukma Arang, if not agile.. He may have been stabbed right in the middle of the neck.
THE TRAANG!
TRANGS!
THE TRAANG!
Hu Li, O Zhan, and Xiao Qing Yan also appeared to be fighting against the three Charcoal Sukma fellows, while Sekar Aji's comrades chose to retreat and stand behind their companions.
Seen, the three colleagues Sekar Aji is trying to withstand pain. Their battle earlier was indeed unfavorable, their Qi was too much drained just to survive the incoming attacks, let alone the environmental conditions unfavorable to cultivators like them.
["Where is Randa?"]
One of Sekar Aji's friends starts asking, he searches for her friend's whereabouts. Unfortunately, the fellow beside him replied that the person he was looking for had been killed, as well as his opponent.
Xiao Shuxiang was still with Sekar Aji and the three young fellows, himself constantly watching the fight of Lan Guan Zhi and his friends, while occasionally fending off stray attacks by wearing his White Jade Flute.
THE TRAANG!
He then turned his head and noticed the three cultivators dressed in dark red, "Your friends seem unable to fight anymore. So what do you want to do now?" xiao Shuxiang's gaze then led to Sekar Aji.
"I just want to make Sukma Arang want to hear me, can you tell your friend not to kill Sukma Arang?"
"Your new friend could listen as her cheek was hit by a fist, but Lan Zhi only knew how to slash. You just wait here, let me represent you to punch your friend in the face,"
Xiao Shuxiang twirled his flute and the next second instantly shot to the place where Lan Guan Zhi with Charcoal Sukma was fighting.
THE TRAANG!
"Lunian..!"
?!
Lan Guan Zhi flinched, he immediately jumped back when he heard Xiao Shuxiang's cry. Sukma Arang's Rajawali Claw attack collided with the White Jade Flute to produce a deep crack in the ground and a loud thumping sound.
Without talking to Sukma Arang.. Xiao Shuxiang returned to attack him without pause, completely taking over his friend's fight.
Lan Guan Zhi himself did not mind, he sheathed back to Shanghai and walked calmly to the place where their horses as well as Lan Xiao were.
THE TRAANG!
"I've been wanting to beat you up for a long time. Your face is so sickening..!"
Charcoal Sukma cursed Xiao Shuxiang. Somehow he felt that this opponent made him remember Sekar Aji, and he hated the young man the most.
THE TRAANG!
"Don't. Never grow hatred for your friend, you can lose everything.."
"Dare to lecture me?! You obviously don't deserve to do that!"
THE TRAANG!
Xiao Shuxiang slightly frowned, he felt that he was not saying the wrong thing, but Sukma Arang looked extremely dislikeful. This was evident from how powerful the attack he gave off was.
A BAAAM!
Xiao Shuxiang diverted the direction of the Charcoal Sukma attack by hitting his opponent's wrist using a flute.
"I'm not being nice to you. But I-I see.. You're still an amateur being part of the Black Stream,"
The right hand of Xiao Shuxiang holding the flute came into contact with the wrist of Charcoal Sukma, his voice just now sounded so close, it even sounded a little low.
"The Black Flow Swordsman was not feared by how many lives he took, but how long he could make his opponent scream in pain.."
Xiao Shuxiang touched the middle of Sukma Arang's back with his left index finger, a rapid movement that left his opponent unable to react.
!!
Charcoal Sukma's body felt hot, he felt his bones were burning. He groaned and twisted his body to give Xiao Shuxiang an attack.
A BAAAM!
His attack missed, but the next he was hit right on his right cheek. Xiao Shuxiang only used ordinary energy, but it was enough to make the Charcoal Sukma fall to the ground.
"Most Black Flow swordsmen are people who don't listen, and they can only be aware when it's too late.."
Had Xiao Shuxiang been feeling upset, he would have skinned the Charcoal Sukma alive, slicing every piece of flesh in the young man's body until it reached the bone, he said, then threw it at every citizen of the city he saw.
Although Xiao Shuxiang's hands were often itching to do so, he was still able to control himself. What was more important to him now was suppressing his killing appetite and trying to become human.
!!
Charcoal Sukma's body cannot be moved, this is because of the heat that radiates throughout his body. He gritted his teeth and tried to resist from shouting.
"What Have You Done For Me!"
Sukma Arang tried to speak, he could hear the sound of his bones like wood being burned by fire. It felt as if each of his bones were being crushed part by part.
"Just calm down, you won't die. Your pain will go away when you hear your friend talk.."
Xiao Shuxiang signaled for Sekar Aji to come down from the roof of the building. The young man dressed in dark red jumped in after him by his friends.
Tap
Sekar Aji's foot treaded smoothly on the ground, he again thanked Xiao Shuxiang and then set his gaze on Sukma Arang.
Xiao Shuxiang then darted and helped his friends who were like they would finish off their opponents if not stopped immediately. Hu Li did not intend to forgive, slashing one of his opponent's arms and knees.
Xiao Qing Yan was also so, he did not hesitate to stab then slash the opponent's stomach with his katana. He then gave a hard kick to the opponent to fall from the roof of the building.
!!
They are still not dead, but such alarming conditions can make them lose their lives in just a few seconds. Luckily Xiao Shuxiang was quite good with giving them the Dragon Breath Pill.
O Zhan himself only gave some damage to his opponent's face, he did that by wearing his strong and sharp claws. Xiao Shuxiang returned to help fellow Sukma Arang without a second thought.
Not only them, he also treated Sekar's friends Aji and Lan Guan Zhi. Xiao Shuxiang concocted herbs directly, ranging from smoothing the plant to making it a green liquid that had a very bitter taste.
Meanwhile, Sekar Aji is seen talking to Sukma Arang. This was the first time he had talked for so long with his childhood friend. He wanted to solve this problem so that it would not be prolonged.
For three more hours, Sukma Arang continued to lie down. Although he no longer felt pain, but he still did not try to wake up. He listened to Sekar Aji speak until he finished.
[".. I'm not parting ways with you at all. To me, you're the only family I have,"]
["Omong empty. If I were that important, you wouldn't have left without saying anything to me,"]
Xiao Shuxiang did not know what Sekar Aji was talking about with Sukma Arang, the two young men were speaking the language of the Middle Continent. But what he saw, the two people seemed to have become familiar.
Not wanting to interfere, Xiao Shuxiang simply said goodbye to friends Sekar Aji and Sukma Arang. He, Lan Guan Zhi, as well as their other comrades.. Return to the journey.
Not only were they informed of the fastest way through Flower Recess City by Sekar Aji's friends, but they were also escorted directly through the road.
Sukma Arang colleagues also joined together. Although they came from the Black Stream, in fact they knew how to return the favor well. Xiao Shuxiang and his companions had clearly encountered something rare from the Black Flow swordsman.
