XIAO SHUXIANG'S

31 - Against Gong Peng [Revised]

"This is not a cultivator's sword. Which sect are you really from? Your sword is terrible, it's the worst sword I've ever seen." Gong Ru watched Xiao Shuxiang's sword.

This sword he was holding could even be shattered with just a single finger's pressure.

Xiao Shuxiang poked his lips, his opinion of the quality of the sword was the same as that of Gong Ru. A little disappointed, he said. "I am from the Butterfly Sect,"

"What is a small sect?" Gong Ru raised next to her brows, "I've never heard the name of such a sect before. This was even the first time I heard there was a sect with such a ludicrous name."

Xiao Shuxiang glanced slightly at Yang Shu, he then turned back to Gong Ru while signaling for the man to bend his body slightly. Gong Ru simply complied, after all there was nothing dangerous about this little boy.

"The sect... Is a very poor sect, our bed is even on a tree." Xiao Shuxiang spoke softly so that Yang Shu would not hear him.

Gong Ru flinched, she did not think that there was such a poor sect like this. "Son, you're less fortunate to have met me and my sister. Unfortunately, the principle of the Brothers Robbers was to not let anyone live after seeing our faces. If not, maybe you and the old man I'll let you get out of here."

Gong Ru was quite pityful with the misfortune of the little boy in front of her. Merely, the pity that Gong Ru expressed was not entirely sincere.

Xiao Shuxiang knew that, and he also knew that in fact Gong Ru did not really pity him. Indeed who was he to the point of having to accept the mercy of these robbers like Gong Ru?!

It was precisely Xiao Shuxiang who should feel sorry for Gong Ru and her sister. "You guys are less fortunate to have met me, this Cultivator who possesses extraordinary ingenuity!"

"Then can I wear one of the swords there?" Xiao Shuxiang pointed at one of the swords belonging to the Protective Swallow Swordsman who had died. The sword was lying on the ground, right beside the head of one of the swordsmen.

"Aah~Ya. You can pickle and use the sword that's there." Gong Ru agreed to Xiao Shuxiang's request. "After all, I can't possibly let a child like you wear such a fragile sword... It wouldn't feel good at all if you did,"

Unlike Gong Ru, Xiao Shuxiang blinked in disbelief. "The world has changed.Why are there criminals as stupid as they live in this world? Or is that so extraordinary my adorable innocent face...? Hiya... I'm getting goosebumps myself."

Gong Ru said again. This time he looked at Gong Peng. "Sister, don't use your sword. But you also took one of the corpses' swords,"

"Good Brother."

Gong Ru also told her younger brother, Gong Peng, to wear the sword of one of the warriors. He did not want Gong Peng to use his own sword, it was possible that this child would die before giving him any consolation.

Xiao Shuxiang smiled slightly. Inwardly, he laughed at Gong Ru and Gong Peng.

"You've made three mistakes. First, you approve of a child holding a sword. Second, you are too petty and behave so arrogantly in front of this child.

Third and worst of all, you foolishly listen to the babbling of the little boy and accept the challenge from him. You should have just killed me without accepting my request.

You fools! Being a villain so feared? Ha ha! To me... Xiao Shuxiang's! You're not criminals, you're fools!"

Xiao Shuxiang walked over and then took out one of the swords belonging to the Swallowing Protector.

This sword has a black handle, when compared to Yang Shu's sword.

Xiao Shuxiang touched the blade of the sword slightly, he smiled faintly. "Hm, it's good enough to cut..."

Xiao Shuxiang then stood up. Around the pieces of body and blood that splattered from Gong Peng's actions, he did not feel the slightest trembling, let alone to the point of nausea due to the smell of rancid blood. In fact, this scent is what she misses so much.

Gong Peng actually felt shocked as well as confused when he saw this seven-year-old child not feeling the slightest fear with blood let alone pieces of a human body.

In the past, when Gong Peng was the same age as Xiao Shuxiang, he did not dare to look at a single drop of blood. But this kid..?

Just as Gong Peng was thinking about it, suddenly Xiao Shuxiang was already close to him while swinging a sword as if about to slash his stomach, it was fortunate that Gong Peng quickly jumped back.

"How Can You Be This Fast?!" Gong Peng was very surprised when he got the attack earlier, he was completely caught off guard with this child. A sudden exclamation jolted him.

"Hey Brother?! What are you doing, huh? Why are you daydreaming..!?"

Gong Ru saw as Xiao Shuxiang picked up the swordsman and started to stand up while staring at Gong Peng, Xiao Shuxiang started to catch his breath and put up the horses to attack.

In the next instant, Xiao Shuxiang ran towards Gong Peng, but Gong Ru was shocked as her sister looked completely unprepared.

"Well, you almost got hurt by a kid..." Gong Ru sighed then shook her head slowly, it was not usual for her younger Gong Peng to behave like this.

Gong Peng gasped, it turned out that the child in front of him had run. He thought Xiao Shuxiang was using a stance that could make him disappear and appear instantly in front of him.

"Haiih, Son. You didn't say anything and just attacked, it's not polite at all..!"

Xiao Shuxiang frowned upon hearing Gong Peng's remark, "Indeed in the fight what manners are there...? This is not a tea ceremony tofu...!?"

Xiao Shuxiang did not say anything to Gong Peng, he only returned to attack him while continuing to use the Wind Breathing technique.

Gong Peng repelled every attack of Xiao Shuxiang, he also attacked Xiao Shuxiang several times. Merely, Gong Peng seemed as if he had no intention of giving any injuries to this brat in front of him.

"He underestimated me. Nice one!"

Xiao Shuxiang understood that he was currently being underestimated, of course because Gong Peng did not use Qi at all to fight him. Gong Peng was instead seen loosening his attacks, whether it was Gong Peng's tactics or not. but Xiao Shuxiang would never let his guard down in the slightest.

The merchants and charioteers who witnessed the fight between Xiao Shuxiang and Gong Peng were so worried and frightened.

Covered in fear, the merchants prayed that someone would save them and the seven-year-old boy.

"I might not be able to see the sun again tomorrow, but I'll make sure I kill one of these two disgusting people!" Xiao Shuxiang further accelerated his attack, he only brandished the sword according to the sword moves he learned in the Butterfly Sect.

Several times, Xiao Shuxiang wore the moves he saw from Jing Mi, then combined the two.

Gong Peng was a little overwhelmed because Xiao Shuxiang was so agile and his movements were too low. He felt like he was fighting with a four-legged creature.

Gong Ru slightly flinched when she saw that strange Xiao Shuxiang sword technique. Just like her sister, she felt the same way.

After a few attacks, Xiao Shuxiang was finally able to tear apart the little tip of Gong Peng's black pants, a small grin formed on his face. "Keep me down, and you'll lose your head!"

Xiao Shuxiang deliberately rolled on the ground and tried to attack Gong Peng's back, but Gong Peng quickly repelled Xiao Shuxiang's attack.

Gong Ru was impressed because Xiao Shuxiang moved so agilely but did not look exhausted at all.

Yang Shu also saw the fight between her grandson and Gong Peng, she was so worried and scared that Gong Peng would suddenly just use Qi and directly slash at her grandson.

According to Yang Shu, the reason why his grandson and Gong Peng's fight looked balanced was because Gong Peng did not exert all his strength. Even Gong Peng held back some of his strength at the moment.

Xiao Shuxiang, "I can't keep going like this, he might just get bored and kill me instead."

So far, Xiao Shuxiang had only once injured Gong Peng, and that was only the cloth of his pants.

In fact, this was the battle tactic that Xiao Shuxiang used when giving chant to Gong Ru and Gong Peng. He paid attention to the situation and analyzed the actions he could take to deal with these Brother Robbers.

As a result, Xiao Shuxiang used the innocent face as well as the body of this little boy to make Gong Ru and Gong Peng underestimate him. And the plan worked!

Gong Ru accepts Xiao Shuxiang's request to fight with her younger brother, Gong Ru also allows Xiao Shuxiang to wear the Swallow Protector swordsman who had been killed. Not only that, Gong Ru even told Gong Peng to use the sword as worn by Xiao Shuxiang. And even foolishly, Gong Peng had instead restrained his Qi as well as strength while fighting with Xiao Shuxiang.

Xiao Shuxiang was actually able to injure Gong Peng because of his agility, but Xiao Shuxiang did not do that because he wanted to give Gong Peng the most painful attack.

If Xiao Shuxiang injured Gong Peng's body, for example giving a scratch on his back or stomach, then Gong Peng could have been upset and instead attacked him with all his might. Xiao Shuxiang will definitely die! That's why he didn't do it.

Xiao Shuxiang while giving resistance so quickly, also while looking for the right time to attack Gong Peng. Naturally, it was Gong Peng's neck that Xiao Shuxiang was desperate to cut off.

Unfortunately Xiao Shuxiang was too small, and if it used Wind Breathing to jump, Xiao Shuxiang would not be able to move anymore. Worst possibility... Gong Peng could have directly pierced or cut his body while Xiao Shuxiang was in the air.

Xiao Shuxiang fended off some of Gong Peng's attacks, "He's like he's getting bored.it's time!"

Xiao Shuxiang condescended his attack, he quickly used Jing Mi's wild animal style, which of course was refined by himself just a moment ago.

"Greetings, and goodbye..!"

A SLAAASHH!

With a single swing of such a powerful and sharp sword, Xiao Shuxiang slashed at something unexpected and would never be done by any Cultivator in the Continent.

"AAAAAAAAAAKKKHH!!"

Gong Peng fell down instantly and screamed so loudly. His screams are so heartbreaking!

His face was so pale, sweat was pouring down his face and his entire body. Gong Peng rolled like a hot worm.

"AAAAAAAAAAA!"

What this Xiao Shuxiang was doing made Gong Ru, Yang Shu, as well as his merchants and charioteers so very surprised.

Their eyes widened, as if time had stopped suddenly and the next second they heard like a thunderous sound. They were not even aware that their two hands were currently gripping their future.

"AAAAAAAAAAKKH!!"

Gong Peng was in so much pain, he continued to roll. Seen his eyes were tucked upwards, Gong Peng's body bending with both hands touching the body part that was slashed by Xiao Shuxiang.

Meanwhile, Xiao Shuxiang just stood quietly as he gazed towards Gong Peng who continued to scream and roll uncharacteristically.

"This is a reply because you have dared to look at my pride." Xiao Shuxiang stared intently at Gong Peng who continued to roll while screaming incessantly.
