XIAO SHUXIANG'S
308 - Sri New
Xiao Shuxiang was startled when he heard a foreign cry that was like being so close to him.
He only realized that there was someone crouching next to him with his head bowed while hugging a bamboo stick, that person looked terrified.
"Don't kill me..! Don't kill me..! I didn't do anything..!"
"You.."
The man who was crouching close enough to Xiao Shuxiang was none other than the Mad Beggar Boy, the person he had previously met in Flower Recess City.
The moonlight made Xiao Shuxiang's gaze clearer, he could now see the Mad Beggar Boy's face filled with makeup similar to a hanging ghost.
"What.. What are you doing here..?"
Xiao Shuxiang was still lying down, his voice was weak, and he grimaced slightly from the pain in his body.
The Mad Beggar Boy who was tightly hugging his bamboo stick slowly turned his head, despite being covered in makeup.. But his face showed a frightened expression. With a trembling voice he said that he was looking for tea leaves.
".. I-I didn't do anything, I-don't kill me,"
Xiao Shuxiang just wanted to ask back.. But suddenly he heard the sound of footsteps and the next second a black figure was seen hovering over him with a swinging sword.
The moonlight made the blade of the sword shine.
The figure was Gong Zitao, his eyes flashed blue as it was affected with the Sri Anyar Inner Force. His strength was clearly being pushed to a higher level.
"Death..!"
A BAAAM!
Gong Zitao's attack created quite a deep crack on the ground, as well as a loud thumping sound. He seemed to want to make his opponent's body destroyed unceasingly.
Gong Zitao learned that Sri Anyar's attack had left Xiao Shuxiang dying and he was sure that the young man would not be able to wake up again. The opportunity he used to give the ultimate attack of his.
!!
Unfortunately Gong Zitao's attack only hit the ground. His eyes widened when he knew his sword did not split the opponent's body at all, he was clearly unable to hide his shock.
?!
Gong Zitao immediately turned his head when he heard the impact sound. He saw two figures that rolled until one of them had just stopped when he hit a tree.
?!
A moment before Gong Zitao attacked him.. Xiao Shuxiang exerted all his strength and charged towards the Crazy Beggar Boy nearby.
He kept hugging the crazy young man until they rolled over and only stopped when his back hit the tree.
He vomited blood because his heart was pierced by bone again, it felt like he wanted to scream.
Xiao Shuxiang felt the body of the young man he was embracing tremble. This was natural because anyone would definitely feel the same way when struck suddenly by someone who was still holding a sword and even ended up rolling around like this.
Gong Zitao himself seemed to be clucking in annoyance. He did not accept that Xiao Shuxiang was still able to move after being seriously injured. That young man should no longer be able to move, let alone be this agile.
Tap
Tap
Sri Anyar seemed to walk quietly behind Gong Zitao, he was also surprised because his opponent was still moving even now appeared to stand up, although a little stagger.
"Bad.. All this time there was no one who was able to move his body after being hit by my attack, what kind of human were you?!"
Sri Anyar pointed at Xiao Shuxiang with his sword. Behind the face cloth.. He was so upset. His attack was not as weak as it was capable of being broken by someone like this young cultivator in front of him.
Xiao Shuxiang's lips were attracted and formed a thin smile, he firmly held his sword and slightly tilted his head to the left.
"Mm..? When did I ever say.. What if I were human?"
!!
Next to Xiao Shuxiang's eyes turned red, next to him again became golden yellow. Thin black smoke formed under his feet and continued to rise filling his entire body.
In an instant, his entire wound healed. Her clothes had also turned darker yet as beautiful as black jade. The originally thin smile now formed the most terrifying grin.
!!
For a moment, Sri Anyar and Gong Zitao held their breaths. The Mad Beggar Boy who had not woken up instead chose to cower in fear while tightly hugging his bamboo staff.
Tap
Xiao Shuxiang walked calmly past the Crazy Beggar Boy. He sensed Yinng xiong and the Soul Restraint Seal begin to react to the force he was exuding.
"Don't worry, I can still control myself. They did not even deserve to see the shadow of this Destroying Star,"
!!
In an instant, Xiao Shuxiang was already in front of Sri Anyar with a kick that directly aimed right at the swordsman's chest.
!!
Not yet able to act, Gong Zitao also got a surprise attack from Xiao Shuxiang. He bounced until he hit five trees, two of which fell instantly.
A BAAAM!
Sri Anyar felt his spine like it was breaking, he growled and focused his Inner Force then tried to stand up.
Xiao Shuxiang without wasting any chance to attack Sri Anyar again.
THE TRAANG!
With all his strength Sri Anyar resisted the attack even though both his legs had to fall into the ground.
!!
"I don't know who paid you to attack us in this place. But whoever it is, he's already made you meet death. And one more thing, don't ever equate me.. With dirty humans like you,"
Xiao Shuxiang's voice sounded cold, but it was also a little strange. His voice was like echoing and was definitely not his usual possession. It is more like a wild animal.
Instead of being afraid, Sri Anyar even grinned. The corner of his lips was bleeding, but it was nowhere to be seen as it was covered in a black cloth.
"I've heard of animals that can turn into humans.. They are descendants of the devil. You must be one of them. Hmph, you are definitely not a human being because a creature like you is even dirtier..!"
Sri Anyar put even greater pressure on his sword. He used Mental Profound Power to increase his own strength and then gave Xiao Shuxiang a kick.
A BAAM!
His attack was retaliated, he again growled when the strength of his opponent was much greater. This young man was indeed the strongest opponent Sri Anyar had ever faced.
THE TRAANG!
"Either.. Just think for yourself.."
This battle was more intense and faster than before, Sri Anyar was the most cornered after having had time to make Xiao Shuxiang suffer a fracture.
THE TRAANG!
Xiao Shuxiang's first fight against Sri Anyar was none other than his technique to assess the opponent's abilities.
He applied this technique after he got the spirit of the Fire Phoenix and also due to the great regeneration of his body. Otherwise, it was possible that Xiao Shuxiang would feel his pain near death.
THE TRAANG!
When Yinng xiong clashed with Sri Anyar's sword.. Soon Xiao Shuxiang twisted his body and gave the swordsman a kick.
He darted and deliberately slashed the ground so strong that the resulting shock wind made Sri Anyar bounce.
A BAAAM!
"Most places in the Middle Continent are indeed no match for cultivators, and you guys have been stalling for time ever since for us to run out of Qi,"
The battle strategy of Sri Anyar and his brothers was as Xiao Shuxiang had said. Qi was the source of the strength of the cultivators and was so important in strengthening their attacks.
If the Qi was depleted, then it was not impossible that their attacks would also weaken. The cultivators obviously had to be more careful when setting foot on the land of the Middle Continent.
A BAAAM!
Sri Anyar bounced back after getting a kick, Ge Yu Han tried to help him by attacking Xiao Shuxiang but his arm was instead hit by a slash.
".. Your strategy will not work for a cultivator who has two Dantians like me.. Man,"
Xiao Shuxiang placed emphasis on the last word he said. He then attacked Sri Anyar and this time intended to split the warrior's body.
When Xiao Shuxiang's sword almost hit Sri Anyar's face.. The three swords immediately repelled his attack, it was none other than the weapons of Wisesa, Tong Due, and Karasu.
A TRAAANG!
Seeing these three people made Xiao Shuxiang recall his friends. Lan Guan Zhi and the others had also previously been hit by the attacks of these all-black-clothed warriors.
It was possible that Lan Guan Zhi, Hu Li, Xiao Qing Yan, Lan Xiao, and O Zhan were now unable to get up or they could have been killed.
Xiao Shuxiang brushed aside his thoughts, he better focus on fighting these swordsmen in black uniforms and then went to check on the condition of his friends.
TRANGS!
Trang!
Far away where Xiao Shuxiang was.. Gong Zitao started to cough and seemed to be spewing blood behind his cloth-covered face. It felt so stifling that he had trouble breathing.
Gong Zitao removed the cloth covering his face for a while, he tried to catch his breath. Some orange flowers fell and touched his cheeks. From here he could hear the sound of the sword.
He then grabbed his clothes and took out a storage bag. Gong Zitao took out a dark green colored pill and immediately swallowed it.
The pill is effective in restoring wounds in the body, including healing broken bones. It only takes about a minute until the results are visible.
Elsewhere, Ge Yu Han was seen groaning in pain as his right arm was slashed by Xiao Shuxiang. He growled and tried to resist stopping the blood on his arm by wearing Qi.
"Well.. Huh.. Shuxiang jun.. I definitely.. I will not forgive you.."
Long enough, but he managed to do it. He began to realize that his Young Master had also been hit by Xiao Shuxiang's attack. Immediately Ge Yu Han darted and searched for his Master without caring about the mercenaries.
TRANGS!
Lan Guan Zhi is currently fighting with Papat Yada and Hawa Raynar. He had previously been hit by an attack and made it hit the trees, but even though the bones were crushed.. He will still fight.
Trang!
Hu Li himself focused on saving Xiao Qing Yan, the 10-year-old almost lost his breath. O Zhan was also as bad as Xiao Qing Yan's state, it was fortunate that Lan Xiao was able to heal her friends' wounds with the life energy she had.
THE TRAANG!
Lan Guan Zhi fended off the successive attacks from Hawa Raynar, as soon as the next-Papat Yada gave him an attack from the side.
Shandan trembled, this was the first time Lan Guan Zhi felt it after so long holding his sword. Thin white smoke enveloped Shanghai, the next second Lan Guan Zhi shot out and gave Eve Raynar a powerful attack.
CRAASH!
"YES..!"
"Third Brother..!"
Papat Yada exclaimed when he saw Hawa Raynar shouting because his right thigh was slashed by Lan Guan Zhi. He immediately resisted the attack of the young man in white uniform who was about to slash his brother's neck.
THE TRAANG!
"I'm gonna kill you.. I'M KILLING YOU!"
Papat Yada uses to exert all his Inner Energy. He made Lan Guan Zhi have to take a defensive position, but not for long he bounced away.
!!
Lan Guan Zhi's right foot restrained his body from hitting the tree, as soon as he darted and as his sword was about to clash with his opponent's weapon immediately leapt upwards.
!!
Papat Yada gasped as Lan Guan Zhi turned out not to be targeting her. When he turned around and intended to attack.. Something suddenly happened.
!!
CRAASH!
Eve Raynar dodged too late, she felt blood spurting out of her neck. His eyes darkened and his entire pain disappeared instantly.
Papat Yada shouted loudly, he watched as Eve Raynar's head fell and rolled on the ground. His eyes were wide open but it was not the time to weep for his brother's death.
"I'll avenge your death Brother, I will definitely avenge him!"
THE TRAANG!
Not only was Eve Raynar killed, but Tong Due as well. The swordsman had to feel his body being slashed into three pieces by Xiao Shuxiang.
At first he cooperated with his three brothers, but the opponent's movement was too fast and he was difficult to keep up with the speed.
As a result, Xiao Shuxiang was able to stab his chest with Yinng xiong. The cultivator turned his sword which was still faithfully stuck in Tong Due's body.
With all his strength he moved Ying xiong towards the bottom center to cut off Tong Due's intestines.
In a swift motion, Xiao Shuxiang pulled Yinng xiong and gave several slashes to his opponent's body and again made an attack on his other opponent.
THE TRAANG!
Sri Anyar, Wisesa, and Karasu were so enraged. The three exerted all their might to give Xiao Shuxiang a deadly attack.
!!
Xiao Shuxiang repelled the attack that came with Yinng xiong. The sword since the beginning of the fight had never issued poison let alone suck the flesh of the opponent, Yinng xiong like to be an ordinary heirloom sword.
THE TRAANG!
Trunks
The Mad Beggar Boy watched Xiao Shuxiang fight from behind the tree, he hugged his bamboo stick while playing with his pony hair.
"Aren't there supposed to be ten chains of soul restraints on the child's body..? But why did I see only nine?"
While thinking.. The Mad Beggar Boy gasped when he saw two swordsmen in all-black uniforms as well as a face covered in cloth-darting and attacking Xiao Shuxiang, they were none other than Gong Zitao and Ge Yu Han.
The two cultivators helped Sri Anyar for a moment, before going to the place where Lan Guan Zhi was fighting one-on-one with Papat Yada.
THE TRAANG!
THE TRAANG!
Increasingly, this fight was not favorable for Gong Zitao, Sri Anyar, and their other comrades. Only against two people and they had to exert everything, not to mention Xiao Shuxiang's friends were almost recovered.
THE TRAANG!
"This is the person I dislike the most. He was still acting haughty even though his body was covered in wounds. That shitty face of hers I'd love to break,"
Gong Zitao stared fiercely at Lan Guan Zhi. He was eyeing the face of the cultivator, but his every attack was always deflected.
THE TRAANG!
Lan Guan Zhi did not make a sound at all let alone trying to talk to these three opponents. For him, the most important thing was to defeat them and continue on his way back.
THE TRAANG!
The Mad Beggar Boy used his right hand as a binocular to see every detail of Lan Guan Zhi's fight.
He also noticed Lan Xiao, Hu Li, O Zhan, and Xiao Qing Yan. The four friends of Lan Guan Zhi looked alive and might be able to fight back.
"Great kids, warriors have to be like this. They don't need help.."
The Mad Beggar Boy noticed Lan Guan Zhi, the young man balanced against Papat Yada, but was superior when dealing with Gong Zitao.
THE TRAANG!
The sky started to change, their fight was actually taking all night. If morning comes.. It would then be easier for Lan Guan Zhi and Xiao Shuxiang to find out who would already dare to be a hindrance to their journey.
THE TRAANG!
Lan Guan Zhi was just about to slash at Gong Zitao as a jade black light shot out and fended off his attack. His opponent attacked him with a palm that touched the middle of his chest.
!!
The touch was light, but the effect was so strong. Lan Guan Zhi even had to bounce to the scene of Xiao Shuxiang's fight. Fortunately his friend was not in the movement of swinging Yinng xiong to slash.
!!
Xiao Shuxiang himself was shocked when something suddenly shot out in front of him. It was Lan Guan Zhi.. He immediately saved his friend so as not to hit anything.
Meanwhile, the person who attacked Lan Guan Zhi immediately threw out a piece of bamboo that emitted black smoke. He embraced Gong Zitao's waist and took the young man away.
He also called on Sri Anyar and his three surviving siblings to leave. Lan Xiao who realized this immediately shook his tail, but he instead got a tread attack from afar.
Crazy Beggar Boy could not see where the swordsman went, this was because the black smoke made his sense of smell reduced, including his sense of hearing and sight.
".. Whoever that guy is.. I was completely unaware of his presence,"
The Mad Beggar Boy felt that the person was in an attack addressed to Xiao Shuxiang and his friends.
".. I think he's been watching the kids fight since then, and only now is he taking action. The heir of Old Bangka seems to have been made an enemy by some people,"
The Mad Beggar Boy preferred to lean on the tree trunk while watching the black smoke in front of him fade while waiting for dawn to arrive.
