XIAO SHUXIANG'S

XIAO SHUXIANG'S
371 - Collapse of the Nine Levels Pagoda



Hou Yong's shout panicked the disciples who were around the pagoda. They rushed away to save themselves when they saw one of the balustrades on the third floor fall.


"Set up..!"


Ling Chu Zhen gave the order and was immediately executed by the Patriarchs of the Sky Pagoda Sect.


The 'Ling' clan is indeed among the most human class who can express themselves calmly despite being faced with danger. They were the kind of humans who could hide emotions behind the calmness of his face, the inhabitants of the Central Continent sometimes referred to the Ling clan as a soulless clan.


Needless to be given an explanation, all of that could be known upon seeing how Ling Chu Zhen and the other members of the Ling family each took their places around the pagoda without losing their calm and flat expressions.


Tap


"This pagoda could withstand the attacks of an Immortal-level cultivator, so where it might be able to collapse." Ling Xuan Lu continued to speak loudly even though both of his hands moved to form a seal.


Tap


Ling Lang Tian set his foot gracefully on the ground, he was about 5 meters away from Ling Xuan Lu and joined in making hand seals. He heard clearly the words of his aunt.


"The crack on the Level Nine Pagoda is getting worse, Auntie. There's no way this building can stand firm,"


"But my son is still inside. He had to come out immediately if he wanted to save himself," Ling Xuan Lu's voice sounded cold, very different from his feeling of being so worried.


The seals made by the Grand Elder as well as the Patriarchs were able to trap the entire Level Nine Pagoda building.


If this pagoda were to collapse - the effects of the ruins would not spread much less to endanger the safety of the disciples.


"Yi Wen..!! Why Are You Still There..?! Let's Go To A Safe Place..!" Hou Yong exclaimed, he called Yi Wen because his brother was still standing quietly with no intention of saving himself.


"Hou Yong, you go first..! I'll catch up with you later..!" Yi Wen exclaimed without turning back, he was seen fiddling with his short hair while continuing to set his gaze towards the pagoda.


"Yi Wen's..! Come on, brother..!"


This time it was Jing Mi who exclaimed. He seemed to be unaware that Yi Wen was clucking and put on an annoyed look on his face.


"Yi Wen..!"


"Alright, alright..! I'm going there. Tsk, those two guys are such a bitch.." Yi Wen turned around when she heard Jing Mi's cry for the second time, she started walking towards her friends.


During the step, Yi Wen deliberately pulled out a strand of her hair and then dropped it onto the ground.


The strands of hair turned into a thin blackish smoke and instantly darted into the seal surrounding the Level Nine Pagoda.


The smoke so thin it floated up and only stopped when it was on the third floor of the pagoda. In just one breath, the smoke disappeared along with a faint smile on Yi Wen's pretty face.


"Mh.. It's gonna be a beautiful night.."

BLAARS..!


Xiao Shuxiang's Soul Sword clashed violently with the heirloom sword of a figure that resembled Lan Guan Zhi, even the sword in his opponent's hand was very similar to Shanghai's.


Their current position was that Lan Guan Zhi was seen hovering, while Xiao Shuxiang almost made both of his legs embedded in the floor.


In a quick movement, Lan Guan Zhi relaxed the attack and the next second put on his leg to give his opponent a kick.


Xiao Shuxiang reflexively banged his body backwards and joined his foot to attack Lan Guan Zhi. The sound of impact and the shock wind was heard again.


Tap


Xiao Shuxiang set his breath and started to dart back as a thin black smoke appeared and directly pierced his body from behind.


!!


Xiao Shuxiang immediately vomited blood, he only focused on his opponent until an attack that came out of nowhere was not realized.


"Unfortunately, this fake Lan Zhi was also able to use a secret weapon. But somehow.."


Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his lips with the back of his left hand. In his heart he was curious about the attack that hit him just now, whereas since then his attention continued to focus on Lan Guan Zhi.


Xiao Shuxiang did not know that the attack just now was not made by the opponent in front of him. The attack came from thin smoke which was a change from Yi Wen's hair strands.


!!


Fresh blood spewed out by Xiao Shuxiang, he could feel his heart being pierced by a needle. Haven't had a chance to think, he was immediately attacked by Lan Guan Zhi.


Without caring about the pain - Xiao Shuxiang rolled until Lan Guan Zhi's sword hit the floor so hard. He then counterattacked and managed to get his opponent to hit the wall.


!!


The pain in Xiao Shuxiang's heart began to diminish, but the worst of circumstances began to approach him. The floor and ceiling above him began to collapse, this made the fight even more heavy.


!!


Lan Guan Zhi shot out, a rumbling sound as his sword clashed against the opponent's heirloom again. He did not care at all when hit by the ruins of the building.


In contrast to him, Xiao Shuxiang naturally felt worried. He did intend to tear down the Level Nine Pagoda, but that did not mean he had to join the rubble of this building.


"Wine.. This room is starting to shake violently.." Xiao Shuxiang could feel it, he had even almost mired downstairs if he did not immediately dodge.


Lan Guan Zhi himself was also barely hit by the collapsed ceiling, but still the calmness on his face provoked emotion. Anyone would want to pinch the two handsome cheeks while squeezing them, not least Xiao Shuxiang.


"Even though you're just a clone of my friend, can't your facial expression change a little? You also have the same injuries as me, why should you refrain from hiding your pain, huh?"


Of the many humans Xiao Shuxiang had encountered, a creature like Lan Guan Zhi was the rarest and most annoying species. He felt, when the division of the expressions of his faces must have come most recently.


"I admire you, you can imitate the nature of my best friend perfectly. You're amazing.." Xiao Shuxiang held tightly to his Soul Sword whose blade turned increasingly wider.


Lan Guan Zhi himself poured Qi into his sword. Seen, the blade of his sword began to bring out a small flash of lightning and gradually enlarged.


The next instant, Xiao Shuxiang and Lan Guan Zhi both darted.


In the middle, both of their weapons clashed against each other.


BLAARS..!


!!


The five Heavenly Pagoda Sect warriors bounced out and struck the protective seal that the Grand Elder as well as the Patriarch had made.


The fourth floor of the pagoda began to collapse, followed by the next floor. It can no longer be stopped and no one can prevent it.


Yi Wen who was standing beside Jing Mi and the other disciples watched how the pagoda building collapsed causing tremors on the ground.


The look on his face looked so serious, but in his heart he regretted that the pagoda had collapsed too quickly. Though he still wanted his Brother Xiao to pass through the obstacles on the other floor.


"Mmhhhh.. This doesn't matter either.." Yi Wen smiled faintly, his eyes and facial expression like a top-notch criminal who had managed to launch his sneaky stratagem.


"Yi Wen, what's wrong with you?" Jing Mi noticed the expression on her Brother's face and directly patted the short-haired pretty girl's shoulder next to him. This made Yi Wen flinch and immediately turn his head.


".. Don't tell me you're happy Brother Xiao is buried in the rubble of a building?"


"I was expecting it.. But my brother doesn't seem to die so easily,"


!!


"Yi Wen, you want Brother Xiao dead?!" Hou Yong was surprised, his voice was too loud to the shock of the disciples of the Sky Pagoda Sect including Yi Wen and Jing Mi.


"Saturday..!" Yi Wen smothered Hou Yong's mouth and asked his brother to shut up. "You're gonna make me look like a bad guy. What if someone misunderstands you when they hear you say that, huh?!"


Hou Yong patted Yi Wen softly as a signal for his brother to stop smothering his mouth. He's starting to have trouble breathing now.


Yi Wen blinked and started releasing Hou Yong, himself apologizing for acting too late. Really, that just came from his reflexes.


"Heah.. Yi Wen, you're too much.." Hou Yong rubbed his chest and started to catch his breath well.


Jing Mi, "You two, look at that..!"


!!


The cry from Jing Mi made Yi Wen and Hou Yong turn their heads towards the Level Nine Pagoda. The building had completely collapsed now, it was fortunate that the protective seal around it was strong until the effect of the pagoda's collapse had not had much impact on them.


Inside the protective seal, it was Ling Jian Tou who started to stand back up. His face was still so calm, but not with the look in his eyes. You could say he is angry right now.


The many sword incisions on Ling Jian Tou's body, all of this was because what he was fighting on the third floor was extremely troublesome. Good also actually the floor exploded, so he could escape death.


Uh..!


The three disciples from the Sky Pagoda Sect were also trying to stand up. Their bodies had suffered no small injuries, even one of the three was in a worrying condition.


Gong Zitao himself seemed to be coughing blood, he cursed the person who had made the Level Nine Pagoda collapse. He was really upset, the grip on his sword looked so strong.


"There are only two people I think have a chance of making a death pagoda like this. The first one was Ling Jian Tou and the other one was.."


Gong Zitao circulated his gaze, he was trying to find someone he most wanted to kill.


"Where is he..? Is it possible that the man was hit by ruins?"


Just wanting to smile, a coughing voice sounded and Gong Zitao could instantly recognize who the owner of the voice was.


!!


The protective seal started to fade and then disappeared, Grand Elder of the Sky Pagoda Sect, the Patriarchs including Ling Xuan Lu started to see the condition of the five sect disciples and made sure they were all still alive.


Elsewhere, in one of the ruins of the building-Xiao Shuxiang coughed in the dust around him. His back felt heavy because of the rubble of the building, there was fresh blood pouring on his forehead.


Xiao Shuxiang's chest was warm, he could also smell the thick aroma of sandalwood. He turned out to be a figure who was so similar to his good friend, Lan Guan Zhi. This position of his body seemed to be protecting his own fighting opponent.


!!


Xiao Shuxiang was surprised at being oppressed by someone. Just as he wanted to make a move, the young man below him slowly turned into light again.


The White Jade Flute that had been in his left hand had suddenly trembled. In three breaths, the white light that had previously been Xiao Shuxiang's opponent shot out and entered the flute.


The White Jade Flute slightly changed to a light purple color, the pattern on it evolved.


Initially, this flute has a wave-like pattern in the sea. Now the pattern that existed resembled a cloud scroll with a small rabbit. It looks so beautiful and charming at the same time.


Xiao Shuxiang had yet to notice the change in his weapon. He focused more on enveloping his body with Qi and instantly blew up the building debris that had dared to hit him.


!!


Xiao Shuxiang surprised Ling Chu Zhen and the others. He became the center of attention again.


This was indeed not a strange thing, because he himself had predicted it before. Xiao Shuxiang had also prepared with the risk he might take for daring to tear down the Level Nine Pagoda.


"My whole body hurts a lot, but they can't know this.." Xiao Shuxiang tried to be as normal as possible, he walked towards the Grand Elder of the Sky Pagoda Sect while convincing himself that his servants should not be affected by the pain he was in.


!!


Ling Dong Hun watched his Niece's Guardian Protector leisurely walk towards him. He was shocked when he saw that there was some sort of faint golden-white thin smoke behind the young man.


"Elder, did you see it?" Ling Dong Hun asked the Grand Elder of the Sky Pagoda Sect. He wanted to convince her of what he really saw.


Ling Chu Zhen turned his head after hearing the question from Ling Dong Hun. He also took notice of every movement of the young man whose clothes were full of incisions, until in a certain second - Himself was also surprised not to play.


!!


"The young man.. He had the Ancestral Spirit Light. How could this happen? That light should not be inside the Death Pagoda. So this is highly unlikely."


Ling Lang Tian blinked after hearing the words of his own father, the Grand Elder of the Sky Pagoda Sect.


He then set his eyes on Xiao Shuxiang. The dazzling-faced young man had just gotten an unexpected stroke of luck.
