XIAO SHUXIANG'S
390 - Xiao Shuxiang VIII
Xiao Shuxiang did not listen to the cry of the Mad Beggar Boy. He focused on exchanging attacks with the Death Crescent Prince and looked to be enjoying the fight immensely.
!!
Ying xiong again clashed with the weapon of the Death Crescent Prince. The sound of the impact grew louder and louder several times, it sounded like a sharp object claw on the surface of the iron.
The Mad Beggar Boy covered his ears, the sound making him feel pained. And somehow it also affects the teeth in his mouth.
"SHUXIAN..!" The Crazy Beggar Boy shouted, he could not keep up with Xiao Shuxiang's movements with the Death Crescent Prince let alone enter into their fight.
"That boy is completely out of his mind.. SHUXIANG..!"
!!
BLAAAR..!
Such a thunderous sound came from the stray attack from Xiao Shuxiang that hit one of the buildings in the outer disciple area of the Sky Pagoda Sect.
The five-room building exploded until the debris flew in various directions and hit whatever lay beneath.
The explosion also made the ground shake violently and created a crack three meters deep. Some disciples who were unable to maintain body balance had to fall.
Hu Li, Xiao Qing Yan, including Ling Qing Zhu also experienced the same thing. Both their hands and knees were like they were clinging to the trembling ground, not to mention the trees around them were being affected as well.
!!
"Dodging..!" Hu Li exclaimed when she realized that something had shot towards her as well as her friends.
They all tried their hardest to dodge and Hu Li was almost hit by the object if he did not immediately roll to the side.
A BAAAM!
Xiao Qing Yan was not as lucky as Hu Li, he was hit by the shock wind from the object that hit the ground to make him bounce and just stopped when his back hit one of the trees.
"Miss Qing Yan!" Hu Li exclaimed, his face showing an anxious expression mixed in panic as the 10-year-old boy spewed blood.
Xiao Qing Yan grimaced, "Damn it. Who fought that? Does he want to destroy this sect?"
Xiao Qing Yan's right hand touched his chest, he tried to endure the pain as well as manage his breathing well. Unfortunately, things did not force him to calm down until he had to go back to avoid when other strange objects fell again.
!!
This time the one who was almost hit by the object was Ling Qing Zhu. The thin veiled beautiful girl with dirty clothes almost fared badly if not immediately helped by Ling Jian Tou.
The young man darted quickly and kicked the object that almost hit his cousin to another place. The problem was, it was instead directed to the wisteria flower forest - where the outer disciples of the Sky Pagoda Sect gathered.
!!
The disciples of different ages and levels of practice were late evading. They did not know that any high-speed objects were streaking towards them due to the dense trees, let alone the ground they were treading was currently vibrating.
"MOTHER..!"
!!
Their breath seemed to be restrained when the thing that was about to hit the disciples suddenly disappeared out of nowhere. They saw the figure of an all-white dressed youth floating in the air.
Together the disciples of the Sky Pagoda Sect breathed a sigh of relief when they found out that their helper figure was none other than Lan Guan Zhi. The forehead-clad youth stuffed what appeared to be building debris into the Universal Bracelet and hit the herb garden of his good friend.
Lan Guan Zhi could only do this way to protect the disciples. His face and manner were so calm that he did not feel the slightest guilt towards Xiao Shuxiang's hundred-year-old herbal plant.
"Young Master Lan..!"
"Young Master Lan, Thank God You Came On Time..!"
Some of the students whose practices were still very low seemed to cry. They thought that just now was death, fortunately Lan Guan Zhi came as a miracle.
"Why doesn't anyone go looking for help?"
"Young Master Lan. The sect protector is impenetrable, we even tried to damage it but the protective seal is unbreakable."
One of the students gasped. They also did not stay idle in this place and waited just like that. They wanted to go and seek help outside the sect, yet the protective seal seemed not to let them leave this sect.
BLAAAR..!
"Young Master Lan, Behind you..!"
Lan Guan Zhi immediately shook his left hand upon hearing the cry of one of the disciples. The building debris that had just come towards him was again inserted into the Universal Bracelet and exterminated another Xiao Shuxiang herb plant.
"This is not a safe place" Lan Guan Zhi said softly, he requested that the disciples further close their bodies to each other and no one asked.
The disciples did as Lan Guan Zhi asked. The handsome young man with a forehead band can make a big object disappear in the blink of an eye means he is a great cultivator. They had no reason to doubt Young Master Lan.
Lan Guan Zhi floated up, right above the disciples of the Sky Pagoda Sect and with a single flutter-him inserted all of them into the Universal Bracelet. He then darted to other places to save more people.
BLAAAR..!
The stray attacks came back and blew up another building. Xiao Shuxiang believed his good friend was able to save the disciples of the Sky Pagoda Sect, so he could continue fighting earnestly without worrying about the effects of his attack that might kill someone.
TRAAANG..!
The Death Crescent Prince's weapon clashed violently with his opponent's weapon, he smiled widely accompanied by a sparkling look of eyes.
"Great..! You're So Great..! This Is the First Time I've Felt a Fight That Makes My Spirit Peak..!"
During his life, it was only the first time that the Death Crescent Prince fought with such a fast tempo. Every time he felt his weapon almost splitting the opponent's body-the second also his opponent was right behind him with a sword swinging strongly.
TRAAANG..!
"You are also great," Xiao Shuxiang smiled widely, he was no less spirited. "But can you handle this?"
The smile returned to an evil sneer. In one breath, Xiao Shuxiang's body was enveloped in thick black smoke and then disappeared. The next instant ten pieces of mirrors appeared in the air and made the Death Crescent Prince startled.
!!
The mirror was as tall as an adult's body, made of water droplets that solidified and looked so beautiful when exposed to moonlight.
The Death Crescent Prince circulated his gaze to each mirror as he continued to float. He could feel himself in danger.
?!
The ten mirrors did not reflect the shadow of the Death Crescent Prince, but showed Xiao Shuxiang standing with Yinng xiong in his right hand.
"New move, cool right? Sure oes. Because I am amazing." Xiao Shuxiang's voice echoed and was like coming from ten directions, this made the Death Crescent Prince not know which one was his opponent's real body.
"Hmph, child's play..!" The Death Crescent Prince swung his weapon until the stick he was holding turned into a long chain and smashed into every floating mirror.
!!
A sense of surprise approached the Death Crescent Prince as the ten mirrors he attacked did not break into pieces at all. He then attacked one of the mirror surfaces and in that second his attack came from another mirror and pointed right at him.
Ahhhh..!
!!
The Death Crescent Prince's back was hit by an attack strong enough to crack his bones. He groaned and then grimaced, the attack just now was none other than his own.
"Ha ha ha, how is it? You like my little boy's game?" Xiao Shuxiang laughed softly. He signaled his opponent with two fingers moved.
"Come here.. Try to attack me while Xiao Shuxiang is still good,"
"Fish Teri..! I'll kill you..!" The Death Crescent Prince exerted all his strength and attacked the surface of one of the mirrors. The next second an attack as big as his came out of the other nine mirrors so he was unable to dodge.
BLAAAR..!
The Death Crescent Prince's body exploded in midair and left his weapon hovering without an owner. Every organ of his body splattered and spread to any place.
The ten mirrors faded, one of which turned into a puff of black smoke and began to reveal Xiao Shuxiang back.
"Since you've been a blunt weapon, now why so excited?" Xiao Shuxiang spoke with his sword, he felt Yinng xiong tremble and let out a faint red light.
This heirloom sword had never listened to Xiao Shuxiang. Ying xiong could have sucked out the flesh of the Death Crescent Prince or made the young man a lump of rotten meat, but Yinng xiong did not do so at all.
He only allowed Xiao Shuxiang to channel Qi at him and take over every single attack he launched. But even though the effect of the attack is strong, but everything can be quickly completed if Yinng xiong wants to work a little together.
"When I am forging you, why do you not obey the orders of this owner of yours.." Xiao Shuxiang exhaled softly and began to stare intently at the sickle weapon that was now shrouded in reddish smoke.
He could see the sighting of a disembodied hand holding the sickle. The hand began to reshape the body again and this made Xiao Shuxiang confident that his opponent was wearing the Forbidden Technique.
"The weapon is getting longer.. Or is that guy getting shorter?" Xiao Shuxiang watched closely and there were indeed some things that made him curious.
"You're so nice.. Thank you for waiting.." The Death Crescent Prince smiled as he licked the blade of his weapon.
Honestly speaking, waiting for the opponent to reshape his body was a foolish act, but Xiao Shuxiang did it for the sake of digging up information about the mastermind of the impromptu attack on his White Cat sect.
"I noticed earlier, you have a familiar fox mask in my eyes. Let me guess, you're one of the Blood Scarlets. Right, right?"
"Indeed. Wh why? Wanna join? With this power of yours, you will be well received. We can be partners," the Death Crescent Prince smiled and said that Xiao Shuxiang would not be in vain if he joined the Blood Scarlet.
".. Your wild way of fighting and disregarding the lives of others is very much in line with the Blood Scarlet. If you want to join.. Then the Black Stream will definitely be more domineering,"
Xiao Shuxiang blinked, "Mm.. Did ya? I was looking for a busy life. But what do members of the Blood Scarlet usually do?"
The expression on Xiao Shuxiang's face showed interest. Due to his sly smile, he became unsuspecting by the Deathly Sickle Prince.
Previously they fought all out and now even like a talker, but still wary of each other.
It was already Xiao Shuxiang's nature that was easily familiar to anyone, including those from the Black Stream. And after all, the Death Crescent Prince was also a person who was easy to talk to.
"There are no special missions in the Blood Scarlet, no rules whatsoever. The only thing that was done was to increase the strength and create as much chaos as possible. Ah, we are also on a mission of kidnapping and slaughtering sects. How, interested not..?"
"I'm really interested, where is your guest's residence?"
"If you want, I can take you there and meet Qian Kun. He was the Blood Scarlet elder as well as the most powerful cultivator,"
Xiao Shuxiang flinched, but then frowned when he heard the name of the person mentioned by the Death Sickle Prince.
"Qian Kun..? How's face? I'm not interested if your guest is Tua Bangka,"
"Hmphs. My neighbor is a beautiful girl with a beautiful voice. I never saw her face, but from her voice it could be discovered that she had a beauty that might be on par with Miss Ling,"
Xiao Shuxiang snorted softly, "He doesn't seem to know anything. Ying xiong was already hungry, this crazy sword seemed to want to eat the scythe. But I still want to ask you one more thing. You weren't told by your guests to be wary of someone in this sect?"
"Hah, the only strongest cultivator in the sect is Ling Lang Tian. But that guy won't be able to do much. He cherished all the lives in this sect, which was why Ling Lang Tian was weak. You hear the sound of their fight? Right now, that shitty-faced man must be being played all-out,"
The Death Sickling Prince laughed, it was a pity that he could not see the pitiful face of the famously handsome and cold young man. He then noticed the young man in black clothes in front of him who seemed to be looking the other way.
Xiao Shuxiang could hear the clashing of swords and the rumbling of thunder rumbling with each other. He was convinced that the current chaos was at three points where one of them could stop him for a moment.
"You know, I'm actually doubtful about your neighbor's abilities.." Xiao Shuxiang turned his head towards the Death Crescent Prince, his facial expression looking solemn.
".. If only your guests were strong. Why didn't he come alone to this sect to make a mess instead of sending you guys? The presence of you and your other comrades only proves how weak your guests are,"
!!
The Death Crescent Prince gasped, he could tell there was a tinge of ridicule on the speech of the young man before him. Directly this opponent had already insulted the elder whom he had always respected and proud of.
"I initially offered to take you to see my neighbor, but after hearing your words.. You deserve to die."
Xiao Shuxiang looked at the expression on his opponent's face that looked angry. He noticed how the Death Crescent Prince gripped firmly on his weapon.
A smile began to be painted on Xiao Shuxiang's charming face, "You have great respect for your guests, but do you not know that you and your other comrades are just little pawns in his eyes. The Forbidden Technique that was on you.. If you can't develop it anymore.. He's gonna kill you, for sure,"
"Hmph, as if you knew so much about my neighbor.." The expression on the face of the Death Crescent Prince was already not as friendly as before, and it was also true on the facial expression of his current opponent.
!!
The Death Crescent Prince was wide-eyed as the opponent who was quite a distance away from him-without a wink was already right in front of him. He was so shocked that his entire body felt a strange chill.
"You scared?" Xiao Shuxiang smiled, his body taller than the Death Crescent Prince even though this opponent was 22 years old. He was like a senior who was bullying his junior, but in truth-this was just beginning.
The Death Crescent Prince directly attacked Xiao Shuxiang, but he first got a kick using his opponent's right knee.
!!
The power from the attack just now was not playful, it could even puncture the stomach and knock out the ribs. The Death Crescent Prince sensed it, yet because of his immortal-he was unable to die so easily.
Ying xiong trembled and grew more and more impatient, he pulled Xiao Shuxiang and then attacked the opponent wildly without caring about the surrounding conditions. After all if the outer disciple territory of the Sky Pagoda Sect was ravaged.. There were not many casualties because Lan Guan Zhi was there to help them all.
"Fuck Teri..!" The Death Crescent Prince was flowing Qi throughout his body and weapons, he lunged at Xiao Shuxiang until each of his attacks was able to split a large tree in two in a scorched state like a bolt of lightning.
BLAAAR..!
The sound returned after it had stopped. The tremors on the ground also began to occur again, Xiao Shuxiang also flowed Qi throughout his body which was partly of Qi enveloping Yinng xiong.
"You don't insult the fish, Short..!"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"
The Death Crescent Prince hated the word 'it' the most and Xiao Shuxiang said it clearly. He was absolutely not going to let this young man see the sunlight anymore.
"Death at the end of my Crescent..!"
"You shall die and be my sword's food,"
BLAAAR..!
The attacks of two powerful heirloom weapons clashed against each other in the air. Yinng xiong was an incredible sword, knowing his owner was not in a bloodthirsty illness made Yinng xiong double the attack just now until the Death Crescent Prince bounced so far away.
YAMA..!
There were three buildings that were hit in a row by Xiao Shuxiang's opponent. The Death Sickle Prince even hit the powerful gate of the core disciple region and nearly hit Ling Lang Tian if the young man did not immediately dodge.
Ling Lang Tian's way of dodging was by jumping backwards and because of his actions - the Death-Sickering Prince smashed into the Blood Whip Swordsman's body which was moving towards the opponent.
YAMA..!
The two intruders hit the ground very hard to produce a hole with a diameter of 7 meters where the ground conditions as if hit by a falling meteor.
!!
The Crazy Beggar Boy did not know what was happening, but he could see the walls on the three hollow buildings and the next second.. The building began to collapse with a loud noise.
"Younaw.. It's a mess that can't be prevented anymore. That boy.. Where is he?"
The Mad Beggar Boy used his Air Breathing Technique to help him move faster, he searched for the whereabouts of Xiao Shuxiang.
?!
The wanted young man seemed to be floating in the air with a pale face, his left hand touching his stomach and this made the Crazy Beggar Boy worried.
"Shuxiang..!" He exclaimed as Xiao Shuxiang suddenly slid down like he had lost his balance, immediately the Mad Beggar Boy darted and tried to prevent the young man from hitting the ground but it was too late.
!!
Xiao Shuxiang fell down with both knees first touching the ground and Yinng xiong who was stuck to support his body.
"Shuxiang..!! You why?! Are you all right?!" The Mad Beggar Boy looked anxious, his Lan'Er Gege good friend's face was so pale and the young man continued to hold onto his stomach.
"Shuxiang..! Are you hurt? Let me-"
"Pfffh ha ha ha ha..!" Xiao Shuxiang could no longer hold back his laughter, he lashed the ground even to tears.
"Ouch.. Stomach hurts.. This can't be arrested.. Ha ha ha..! Gosh darn.. Did you see how they collided? That's really funny,"
Xiao Shuxiang patted the Crazy Beggar Boy on the shoulder and still laughed. This Alchemist Chef's face was truly mesmerizing, it was the most heartfelt laughter and perhaps this was the first time in his life.
The Mad Beggar Boy actually did not understand why Xiao Shuxiang was so happy, when this young man looked so pale. But somehow he was also happy when he watched this person laugh.
"God.. My tummy.. Ha ha ha.. Ouch.. Ha ha ha,"
"Shuxiang, stop. You make me laugh when I see you.. Pfft.. Let's stop it,"
"Wait.. Ha ha ha.. All right, I'll stop.." Xiao Shuxiang exhaled, so he recalled how the Death Crescent Prince hit the building wall, the wall, and then crashed into another intruder.
Xiao Shuxiang's laughter broke again and this made the Mad Beggar Boy feel like his stomach was tickled.
Ling Lang Tian who was quite far away from the two strange youths seemed to hide his cough with his left fist, which earlier did look funny. It was just that he was still able to endure it, unlike Xiao Shuxiang who was so detached.
