XIAO SHUXIANG'S

457 - Crime [Revised]

In the world of power, power is everything. No matter what way was taken, no matter how great the risk, and no matter how many lives one had to lose as long as it could occupy the top position - then it was all a reasonable sacrifice.

If cultivators could extend their lifespan, it was another case with warriors who only mastered the Inner Power technique.

Their strength was limited by age, they could not become a cultivator who could even be hundreds of years old. That was why, the presence of the Blood Scarlet and Qian Kun could be said to be the solution to the problem that greedy swordsmen faced.

Qian Kun could make them, warriors who could not even sense the Qi to become stronger. He promised them all an immortal body.

The Six Shadow Warriors are an example. All this time they just hide behind the darkness, become a man with a life bet.

Although the six were strong, yet they could instantly die at the hands of a cultivator. It was Qian Kun who could make them all have immortal bodies.

Miao Gang's words weren't entirely wrong when he said they were only taken advantage of. Qian Kun did, but it was only natural that it would cost a fortune for an 'eternity'.

Right now, the figure that formed the Blood Scarlet was in the backyard of the Skull Sword Party. His gaze led to something that had just been thrown by the muscular man before him.

["I gave you the head of the Rajawali Half-Party elder as I promised. So now, you have to fulfill what you said back then."]

The voice of the plontos-headed, burly man was impressed heavy. He had scar marks on his head and some new incisions on his arms, back, and chest.

His entire body was covered in wounds, he had even just vomited fresh blood. It could be said that his condition was bad, the one cause that made him get here and deal with Qian Kun was because of his strong life desire.

["You're seriously injured, sit down and take a break."] Qian Kun made a soft voice behind his fox mask. He noticed the figure in front of him that even standing up should be buttressed by a huge sword.

Although Qian Kun was quite considerate, yet he actually got a snatch from the man before him. The muscular person growled and wanted the 'Abadi' body from him. He did not mind granting it either, it was just that Qian Kun still wanted to test this man.

Qian Kun, ["I remember you. I once said it would make you an immortal being if you could bring the head of one of the party elders or sect in this empire. But are you sure? Is that what you want?"]

Qian Kun had always been honest with the immortal body he promised anyone, including the figure in front of him. He firmly said that no one can fight against destiny.

Qian Kun said, ["The sky is so fair. When a human being is endowed with an immortal body, it must not be long after that there is another human being with the gift of power who can kill an immortal. In that case, if I grant your wish .... You'll have one natural enemy. He's Xiao Shuxiang."]

["Xiao Shuxiang.?"] the muscular figure's forehead shriveled, he regurgitated fresh blood and endured as much as he could even though his gaze this time began to blur.

He has heard a lot about that name lately. Qian Kun also confirmed, that indeed what is told by the community and what he is discussing is the same person.

Qian Kun walked over, he touched the chest of the plontos-headed man before him and slowly drained his Qi. Gradually, the man's wounds began to close.

["I never urged anyone to follow me.."] Qian Kun's voice was soft and flawless at all. ["... You'll also be warned about this and the final decision remains with you."]

There is always a risk in every decision. Big or small risk, depending on the decision taken. In that case, the immortal body that Qian Kun had promised there were two risks.

Qian Kun's hand that touched the big man's chest was suddenly plugged into the skin and bone. The movement is fast and cannot be avoided.

!!

Qian Kun pulled something from inside the figure's chest, a lump of flesh that seemed to be beating. The muscular man was so shocked that he spewed blood again.

He even to the point and fell, his breath almost on the tip of the horn. This shocking incident was very unexpected. This pain he felt was much worse than anything else.

Qian Kun stood quietly. He noticed how the man before him wanted to scream in pain, but could not because the man's voice seemed to be stuck in the throat.

The man's eyes were tucked upwards, his face pale with his mouth open. He no longer held or rested on his greatsword.

["Humans who want my immortal body are experiencing this. They must feel the pain on the verge of death first.."]

Behind his mask, Qian Kun's red eyes flashed. He waited until the man lying before him could hear his voice again.

Qian Kun noticed the blackish-red blob that was in his hands. He could feel the thump of one of the human internal organs. His gaze also began to focus on the figure of a muscular man when the person seemed to be panting.

["I'll tell you two risks from this 'your immortal' body. First, only Xiao Shuxiang and his sword, Yinng xiong could kill you. Second, your weakness is in this heart.."] Qian Kun placed the lump of meat he was holding, right in the left hand of the man who was still lying on the ground.

["... You have to hide it well. If any other creature were to scratch or slash this weakness of yours, then you would die even without it in Xiao Shuxiang's hands."]

The plontos-headed man stared at the fox-masked figure standing beside him. He was still lying with his chest moving up and down. The pain that he had previously felt was now much lessened.

["Why... That Xiao Shuxiang... It can be a natural enemy... From my immortal body.?"]

The man Qian Kun saw was still gasping, his voice was even hoarse and almost disappeared. Even so, he could still hear it well.

["Xiao Shuxiang can kill you even without looking for your heart, you can't calm down as long as he's around."] Qian Kun's voice was calm, but contained emphasis.

He was as if to tell that the only barrier to the muscular man to determine his own destiny was Xiao Shuxiang.

["... One more thing, your strength will increase as more warriors and cultivators you kill."] Qian Kun threw a fox mask that landed right next to the head of the saggy young man, he made a sound again.

["... I will not urge you to join me and Scarlet Blood. We haven't owed each other since you brought that head, and I fulfilled your wish. Now, this is just a foreign offer. If you don't mind, you can help me wreak havoc on this empire. I would love to work with you, "]

The muscular man began to wake up, although at this time his legs were still too limp to stand. He could only look up and try to figure out what the masked figure before him looked like.

["Isn't this too easy? You just let me go. Aren't you afraid that I'd attack and kill you right now."]

["Hmph, please if that's what you want. You're not the only swordsman who ever said that, right in front of me."]

!!

The saggy man was clearly surprised. He never saw a man with eyes that were starving for blood. Wrong speech alone, the possibility of him can be torn all out.

His greatest weakness was still in his hands at this moment. A lump of flesh that he felt was beating in his grasp.

He could have died had this masked figure reclaimed his heart and then squeezed it to explode.

["Need you know,"] Qian Kun put his mask back on, ["The Blood Scarlet Members don't fully trust each other. They are able to work together because of their loyalty to me. If you can show me your loyalty and please my heart, maybe I can kindly give you a few drops of the Star's blood."]

!!

Qian Kun's last words made the plontos-headed man surprised instead of playing. His eyes looked wide open, and seemed to not believe what he had just heard.

To warriors and cultivators, even Demonic Beasts knew the intent of that special blood.

If the blood of the Dragon and Phoenix can increase your strength tenfold, then the blood of the Star can elevate you to a god.

["This is impossible... You must be kidding me!"] the muscular man was in disbelief, he even laughed out loud enough to assume the masked man was boasting.

["Ha ha khhak."] The plontos-headed man spewed blood before coming back saying, ["I know about the blood of 'The Star', but that story only existed in the past. Just an old fairy tale told by old men who love to dream."]

["Then why do the present generation still remember and know the ancient fairy tale?"]

!!

The surprised look on the man made Qian Kun grin behind his mask. ["Let me answer it myself. That was because they believed him until now. You also... Including one of them."]

["If I kill you and take your blood, then no one will defeat me in this world."]

["Well, is that what you think?"] Qian Kun almost laughed, ["You took all my blood for nothing. You need to show me your loyalty. It's your confession that will determine whether you get the blood or not. Took it forcibly would only be a waste."]

The entire Blood Scarlet member knew about Qian Kun who had the blood of the Star. Some of them have even got it, Hawa Raynar and Miao Gang are examples.

For Qian Kun, the greater the loyalty of its members and the more potential they have in getting recognition from him, the more blood he gives will also be.

It's just, even now. Hawa Raynar and Miao Gang just got one drop of blood each from her. Meanwhile, the other Blood Scarlet members continued to race to prove their loyalty to Qian Kun.

This was why Miao Gang said that they all knew they were being taken advantage of, but were still unwilling to break away. The greed for power has taken over the hearts and minds of men. He was so sad because of it.

The muscular youth who had previously met Qian Kun was the swordsman from the Beheading Sword Party. He felt he had never progressed in college and eventually decided to drop out.

During joining the Blood Scarlet, he had actually gained the strength he had dreamed of. Even now he could overwhelm an Earth Level Grand Master cultivator. He likes to be strong.

Trangs..!

TRAANG..!

Currently, together with the other members of the Blood Scarlet. The muscular man was making his own party melt down. He was so satisfied that he slashed his brothers' hands, chopped off their heads, and without hesitation drank his blood.

The big guy is crazy, no one can stop him. That wide smile and bloodthirsty glare of eyes, became the most terrifying scene under the skies of the Central Continent.

Qian Kun himself was indeed like he had no advantage from the warriors and cultivators he worked with. He seemed to be just a creature interested in helping the troublemakers.

In addition, the one who benefited more was actually Xiao Shuxiang. If there is a creature called the most cunning, maybe he is the one.

Xiao Shuxiang knew that he was the container and Qian Kun's efforts during this time were nothing more than to gather strength for him. Qian Kun wanted him to become stronger until he could no longer recognize anyone and ended up destroying everything.

The control over his old emotions and illness weakened, but the Alchemist Chef seemed to let him.

Xiao Shuxiang knew what Qian Kun wanted, likely also knowing how many lives had been lost in the actions of the masked figure, but he had done nothing.

She was even more focused on her wedding procession with Ling Qing Zhu and had absolutely no thought of what kind of clash was going on in the Central Continent at the moment.

Badly, whether Xiao Shuxiang was indeed intentional or not-but he was like not letting the family of his White Cat return to the Sky Pagoda Sect.

He assigned Hu Li the task of finding his new friends whom he had met during their first trip here. Due to that task, Hu Li was thus unable to escort Ling Chu Zhen and his family back to the Middle Continent.

Just two nights in Yang Chai Jidan's palace, and perhaps during that time five cities in the two Sky Empires had been taken over by the Blood Scarlet as well as the Skull Sword Party. But Xiao Shuxiang did not even want to think about it.

The Alchemist Chef quietly lay on his back on his bed. He noticed a white mosquito net on it that stretched, his bridal attire still attached, only that his hair was now unraveling in length.

Xiao Shuxiang was waiting for someone.

Not long after, a Moving Mirror appeared and a young man dressed in white stepped out while being followed by a Moon Tiger on top of his head was a white fox.

Xiao Shuxiang immediately woke up and looked at the young man who was familiar to him, who else if not Hu Li. The figure of the White Fox Demonic Beast and was his most loyal follower.

Xiao Shuxiang's eyes looked excited, he had a dazzling face and smile. Her figure is so charming. Even because of his skill, no one realizes how the mind and heart of a person like him walk.
