XIAO SHUXIANG'S
370 - Ending Faster
"This is the last one.."
Xiao Shuxiang stared at the lump of meat in his right hand and then threw the lump into any place.
The atmosphere on this floor is so low in light. It was not known how horrified Xiao Shuxiang was, but judging by how wet his hands and clothes were - clearly he had made this fight a miserable end for his opponent.
The White Jade Flute on Xiao Shuxiang's right hand also got its impact. The heirloom was covered with blackish viscous blood, it had been used not at its actual function.
Xiao Shuxiang rubbed the splash of blood on his cheeks and chin using the back of his left hand. Instead of being clean, his cheeks and chin were filled with even more blood.
"Excellent.." a grin was painted on his charming face, ".. It's delightful. I feel like I want it again.."
!!
Just wanting to laugh evilly, the Soul Restraint Seal Chain started to activate and made Xiao Shuxiang startled. His practice level instantly decreased, along with his body being in pain.
The Soul Restraint Seal would be activated when the signs of Xiao Shuxiang's old illness recurred. He would not allow his owner to be free to do anything.
"Aakhs..! All right..! I get it, I get it..!"
Xiao Shuxiang groaned, one of his hands clenched tightly and the other clutched tightly onto his White Jade Flute.
He exclaimed saying that he would control himself even more. Xiao Shuxiang was like taking this Soul Restraint Seal wrapped around his body to befriend.
!!
Groans of pain still rang out, Xiao Shuxiang's face looked pale. Sweat points poured out simultaneously during the beating of the Alchemist Chef's heart which was faster than usual.
Aaaakhs..!
The new Soul Restraint Seal halted his torment when Xiao Shuxiang was already able to control his bloodlust. However, the practice has not returned to its proper level.
Xiao Shuxiang slowly regulated his breathing, inwardly he cursed the Soul Restraint Seal for daring to treat him like this. It's so outrageous!
"Well.. Huh.. Huh.. It's not unusual for my body to be in pain just because the seal is active. It's something new.."
Xiao Shuxiang watched the Soul Restraint Seal Chain wrapped around his wrist. The seal was similar to a thin, chain-shaped wind, and when remembered again - the chains he had on him were once repaired by the Four Pillars of the World.
!!
Xiao Shuxiang realized, he now understood why he could no longer predict when the Soul Restraint Seal was active, and why his body felt so much pain.
".. These ten chains wrapped around my body are the new Soul Restraint Seal. Sloppy! I completely forgot about it.."
Xiao Shuxiang licked himself, he slowly took a breath and tried to calm his mind.
His body regenerated starting to run normally. Quickly, Xiao Shuxiang's entire wound and pain disappeared. He exhaled slowly and then acted as usual.
"Too excited will make me make a mistake. These unstable emotions can endanger myself. I think I should be more careful.."
In Xiao Shuxiang's present life, he rarely fought all-out, so naturally that kind of feeling he was longing for.
And when you remember, he used to take the lives of ten people every day, destroying the village once a week, wreaking havoc in the small and medium sects as the moon shone beautifully. Such a routine is no longer in his present life, so he clearly misses.
"Heah.. I want to cry.." Xiao Shuxiang walked towards the stairs that appeared in the middle of the room. It was the staircase that would take him to the third floor of this Pagoda.
".. My days are gone. Though I am very extraordinary with the title of 'The Destroying Star'. Why should I be a good person? Notoriously ruthless and so feared is the most awesome thing ever. Hiya.. Xiao Shuxiang, you've changed a lot.."
He shook his head slowly, Xiao Shuxiang started again. It is likely that he is not aware of this strange habit that often calls his own name when talking. He should have fixed the habit.
"♬♩ hmm.. Jinsheng yin ni chikung.. ♬♪
[♬♩.. 今生因你痴狂.. ♬♪]
While continuing to step up, Xiao Shuxiang consciously started humming. This effectively keeps his heart calm and does not remember about how pleasant it is to remove the internal organs of the opponent.
♬♪.. Thianxia wusshung..♩♬
[♬♪.. 此爱天下无双..♩♬]
Gradually, Xiao Shuxiang's practice rose again. He twirled his flute using the fingers of his right hand. His voice continues.
♪♬.. Jiain de yingzi shui de boguanng.. ♩♪
[♪♬.. 剑的影子水的波光..♩♪]
♪♬.. Zhizhi guang province.. ♪♬
[♪♬.. 只是过往是过往..♪♬]
Hiya.. Maybe next time I ask the White Cat to sing it. She had a beautiful voice, but it was a pity that the girl was too frugal to talk,"
Xiao Shuxiang's footsteps never stopped to continue climbing every step of the stairs that led him upstairs.
The humming he once listened to Ling Qing Zhu when he and the beautiful girl were trapped only two in the underground passageway, precisely as they tried to get out of Pegar Wing City.
Xiao Shuxiang once told the meaning of this hum to his White Cat. A story about the life journey of the Unmatched Swordsman, even though he himself only tells what he remembers.
".. Mm, uh. True as well, my Moving Mirror can now make this Xiao Shuxiang cross the continent in the blink of an eye. If there's time, I'll go to Fifth Patriarch's place and borrow his book.." Xiao Shuxiang was a mangosteen himself, The Patriarch he had just meant was none other than Bai Wu Dang, one of the Patriarchs of the Sky Sword Sect.
The book that discussed the story of the Unrivaled Swordsman was in Bai Wu Dang's library. Xiao Shuxiang wanted to borrow it for the White Cat, he hoped that the girl's attitude would change a little while reading it.
".. I can also give it to Lan Zhi. The two of them had read too much into the sect rules, hence being so rigid. It was clear that both creatures were lacking in nutrients. I can even confirm, Lan Zhi never touched the book p*rno. I feel sorry for him.. It's unfortunate.."
Unknowingly, Xiao Shuxiang was already on the third floor. This place had the feel of a black stone wall, similar to a cave, it felt different from the previous two floors.
?!
There was a large mirror as tall as an adult in the middle of the room. Xiao Shuxiang could see a shadow of himself.
His gaze then led around, seen a glowing stone on the ceiling of the room, the stairs that he had previously inched began to disappear.
Xiao Shuxiang frowned, he found no one other than the large object in front of him.
He wondered, where should he fight next? Maybe he should fight with a mirror? That's obviously impossible.
As his gaze continued to circulate to all corners of the room.. The mirror in front of him began to emit a faint white light. Xiao Shuxiang immediately turned his head and looked at a writing that appeared on the mirror.
This object seemed to ask Xiao Shuxiang to think of the person he considered valuable, and yet he had not had time to mention the name of that person - the mirror in front of him was immediately enveloped in a dim white light.
!!
Xiao Shuxiang was surprised when he got a sudden attack, fortunately his reflexes were fast to be able to fend off the attack just now by using his White Jade Flute.
Attacking him was a faint white ball of light from the mirror embodiment in front of him, Xiao Shuxiang made a powerful push and the next second twisted his body.
He quickly attacked the ball of dim white light, but what happened was precisely he who had to crash to hit the stone wall. The sound of the thump was so clearly heard.
Xiao Shuxiang spat out fresh blood. In one breath a black smoke enveloped his body and quickly shot towards the ball of light. The sound like the impact of two weapons melodious every time he attacked.
!!
This time it was that ball of white light that bounced and hit the wall. Xiao Shuxiang gasped as the ball of light split open. Now he must face two lights that he doesn't know what they are.
"You'd better show me your true form while I ask for it,"
It would be difficult for Xiao Shuxiang to slash when his opponent was a ball of light, this was because there was a possibility that the light could split again. He had to be very careful in carrying out the attack.
The two lights did not say anything other than darting and attacking Xiao Shuxiang, they made it difficult for him.
OH, BAAAM..!
Xiao Shuxiang hit the wall again, this time he was sure that his spine was fractured.
It hurts, but it's not the right time to think about his body's condition right now. After all, due to the speed of his regeneration, this pain only lasted a few breaths before it finally disappeared.
"What is this thing I'm really fighting? The two lights can sometimes be touched, and then feel hollow. Surprisingly, their attacks were extremely powerful."
If he were an ordinary cultivator, perhaps he could not endure more than three attacks. The strength and speed of the two lights were simply too excessive, even for Xiao Shuxiang himself.
!!
The two lights began to reunite and form a human-like figure. He was wearing white shoes and a white uniform, he seemed to be walking quietly towards Xiao Shuxiang.
His white clothes looked slightly fluttering, increasingly directing the view upwards - this figure had long hair that was so beautiful. The look in his eyes was shady, with a handsome face that contained calmness.
"Lan Zhi..? How can you be here?"
!!
Xiao Shuxiang immediately dodged the sudden attack. Lan Guan Zhi's Sword Bar struck the floor very hard, had it not dodged - Xiao Shuxiang's body could have been split apart by the attack just now.
"Hey! Are you crazy?! Why are you attacking me?!"
Lan Guan Zhi did not say anything, he so calmly turned around and again attacked Xiao Shuxiang. He unhesitatingly took out such a thick Swordsman Aura, this could make the opponent feel a great pressure.
Xiao Shuxiang blinked, his eyes instantly turning red. The figure in front of him was not Lan Guan Zhi, his good friend couldn't possibly attack him like this.
"Damn. How dare this creature resemble the face of my friend. It's unforgivable,"
Xiao Shuxiang bit the back of his right hand to the point of bleeding while avoiding the lunge from a figure similar to his friend. His blood droplets began to solidify and form a sword.
OH, BAAAM..!
Xiao Shuxiang leaped backwards, the next second he darted with a powerfully swinging Soul Sword. The clash of his weapons created a shock wind and a rumbling sound.
"Don't think, I'll weaken the attack just because you look like Lan Zhi. I can even kill my White Cat and Beautiful Mother without hesitation,"
"Mn, I know."
!!
Even the voice that Xiao Shuxiang heard was the same. He knew his heart was not calm. This was not fear, but rather a feeling of resentment towards the creature that imitated Lan Guan Zhi's face, including his manner of speech.
TRAAANG..!!
!!
The Level Nine Pagoda shook due to the fight that Xiao Shuxiang had with Lan Guan Zhi. The tremor could even be felt by the five youths who were also currently fighting fiercely.
Not only them, but Jing Mi, Yi Wen, and the others also felt the ground they were shaking. A loud rumbling and thumping sound rang out from the direction of the large pagoda in front of them.
Hou Yong, "Who wouldn't this building collapse? It feels like the attack just now can make this pagoda-"
OH, BAAAAM..!!
Hou Yong was surprised, his speech was cut off with such a loud thumping sound. There were some disciples of the Sky Pagoda Sect who had difficulty balancing themselves and ended up falling over.
Ling Chu Zhen, Ling Dong Hun, and Ling Lang Tian were inwardly shocked as well. Their calm, expressionless faces had hidden the truth about their hearts currently shaking.
"Some are fighting it out. Is it possible Tou'Er did it?" The grandmother of Ling Lang Tian asked, her eyes constantly pointing at the pagoda building in front of her.
"Mn, I think so Mom. My son will never forgive his opponents," Ling Xuan Lu smiled faintly, he was very confident that his son, Ling Jian Tou was exerting all his strength right now.
He turned to Ling Qing Zhu and noticed the white-haired, thin-veiled girl. "Your brother will definitely come out as the winner. It's much better that you marry someone you've known for a long time, isn't it?"
Ling Qing Zhu just muttered softly. To him, anyone who cleared the hurdle in this Pagoda first - still - he would feel like a triumphant reward. And that he doesn't like.
Yi Wen who was standing beside Ling Qing Zhu snorted, "Hmph. Your son might be great, but he can't beat my brother.."
Jing Mi, "That's for sure. Brother Xiao will win. He is impossible to lose. I can guarantee that..!"
Yi Wen and Jing Mi were so proud of their Brother Xiao, Hou Yong also did not want to lose. Xiao Qing Yan himself did not want to comment anything, he was more focused on paying attention to the pagoda in front of him which let out a thumping sound as well as quivering quite violently.
YAMA..!
They seemed to have forgotten about Lan Guan Zhi, Hu Li, the Mad Beggar Boy, Lan Xiao, and O Zhan who had been out of this place for some time. Ling Chu Zhen did not even seem to notice it.
OH, BAAAAM..!!
On the other hand, Xiao Shuxiang continued to exchange attacks with a figure that resembled Lan Guan Zhi. There are incisions on his arms, thighs, and back.
One of the incisions on his right thigh is new. This could be seen from the fresh blood pouring out, but within three breaths his need began to close back.
A TRAAANG!
The sound of the sword coming back sounded. There was no one talking between Xiao Shuxiang nor a figure resembling Lan Guan Zhi.
Both are so focused on the movement of their respective swords. Just a little wrong, then the consequences can be very bad.
OH, BAAAAM..!!
Not only was Xiao Shuxiang fighting it out, but Ling Jian Tou also appeared to be fighting with all his might.
THE TRAANG!
Gong Zitao too, he had to fight a long-haired girl who had a body from the waist down looking like a horse. The beautiful girl used a bow as her weapon.
!!
Gong Zitao avoided the three arrow slashes that seemed to emerge from void space when his opponent started wearing the bow.
Tap
YAMA..!
The three arrows struck the floor along with Gong Zitao who took a step back. He then flowed Qi on his sword and immediately darted, his movements nimble and directional.
The three cultivators from the Sky Pagoda Sect who were in another room on the third floor of the pagoda seemed to look agile. They did have injuries, but the opponents they faced were not in good condition either.
These cultivators could not be underestimated, Xiao Shuxiang could lose at any time with the five young men who were his rivals. But for now, he focused more on his opponent now.
!!
Xiao Shuxiang dodged the attack that almost hit his stomach, then he countered his opponent's attack by targeting the chest.
The sound of the sword coming back sounded. Neither Xiao Shuxiang nor Lan Guan Zhi, no one had any intention of succumbing. Both of them had powerful attacks, equally difficult to fend off and avoid.
!!
"Is it just me or are you always targeting the thighs, huh?!" Xiao Shuxiang pointed at his opponent wearing a sword. Since then he had indeed refrained from asking, but the clothes tear on his bottom was already almost at a dangerous level.
His own opponent looked so calm, but the next second a thin smile was painted on the face of the forehead-clad young man.
"Mrs.. Maybe,"
!!
Xiao Shuxiang nearly choked on his own breath. He quickly took off his butterfly-winged robe and began to wrap it around to cover his thighs.
"You're this.. It's not Lan Zhi, is it?" Xiao Shuxiang looked a little pale. He felt this young man who himself was fighting a little.. Bawdy.
It was not unusual for him to think so, this was because every attack of his opponent was more domineeringly targeting his lower half. Though he thinks much more effective if his neck is targeted.
The young man who was similar to Lan Guan Zhi said nothing but to carry out an attack. The clash of weapons was again heard and this time was much louder than usual.
Xiao Shuxiang actually did not care much about his clothes that were full of incision marks. He was even willing if he had to be bare-chested, but certainly not so if the threatened is the bottom.
"You're definitely not Lan Zhi. My best friend has never been this hot, he's a good kid." Xiao Shuxiang was holding onto his powerful Soul Sword. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared and appeared right in front of the opponent.
!!
His opponent leaped back, this made the blade of Xiao Shuxiang's Soul Sword hit the floor. There was no sound of a thump, this condition was certainly astonishing.
Tap
Coinciding as Lan Guan Zhi's feet stepped on, the entire wall of the room trembled. The floor that had previously been hit by Xiao Shuxiang's sword blade began to crack.
YAMA..!
The sound of a thump in another room made cracks on the floor quickly spread. Such cracking sounds could even be heard by the disciples of the Sky Pagoda Sect, Jing Mi, Yi Wen, and the others.
!!
More and more cracks. An exclamation rang out and made Jing Mi as well as Hou Yong startled. The pagoda they saw now showed signs of collapse.
"Brother Jing.. We have to run.. RUN FROM HERE..!!"
