XIAO SHUXIANG'S
473 - Chaos [Revised]
Many trees were uprooted, split in two, and burned. Out of the fifteen cultivators that Xiao Shuxiang was fighting, there were now nine people left. The Alchemist Chef himself did not appear to be okay.
Xiao Shuxiang's face was pale, sweat pouring down his forehead. Blood marks were visible on his lips and this was the umpteenth time he had regurgitated fresh blood.
Xiao Shuxiang's strength was actually already extremely great, but the enemy he was fighting was not a careless figure. Especially every time he slashed, it was he who would feel pain. Meanwhile, his enemies put up a non-playful resistance.
TRAANG..!
Jian Shen exclaimed. "It would be much better if you died now, Xiao Shuxiang!"
"Senior Jian Shen, your dream is too high. Two people who are hostile to each other do not deserve to coexist under the same sky. You've been gone a long time, so it's best to go back to your real place!"
Xiao Shuxiang swung Ying xiong, he used the Water Breathing Technique. Jian Shen himself used the hate energy to fight him, their strength was both extraordinarily great.
Wei Lou Ye and the elders did not remain silent. They helped Jian Shen by using hand seals to make Xiao Shuxiang have trouble moving and attacking the young man's internal organs.
!!
Xiao Shuxiang did not dodge, instead he deliberately entered into the trap that Wei Lou Ye and the elders were blatantly setting up. As a result, he was stuck until it was difficult to even move a single finger.
Jian Shen and the others thought they had won. He mocked and laced the increasingly weak Xiao Shuxiang while making his weapon enveloped with a dense aura of hatred.
It didn't take long, he swung his sword and a powerful attack shot out as fast as an arrow towards Xiao Shuxiang.
!!
Unfortunately had not had the attack hit its target, a mirror as tall as a grown man appeared and became the protector of the Alchemist Chef. In the next instant, another mirror appeared right behind the warriors including behind Jian Shen's body.
The attack that should have hit Xiao Shuxiang instead hit the backs of the cultivators and Jian Shen himself. They were shocked as well as feeling pain, the aura of hatred was too strong and felt as if cracking their bones.
A single smile was seen on Xiao Shuxiang's face. He noticed how Jian Shen's face was starting to crack and was giving him a sharp look.
"Xiao.. Shuxiang..!!"
"Senior, you're all great. It's just that you guys forgot to always be vigilant when fighting this Xiao Shuxiang.."
His opponents were extremely strong, had nimble movements, and were hard to kill. But when using a sealing technique, the opponents must remain silent. Xiao Shuxiang took advantage of the opportunity to counterattack.
"I'm happy with our meeting, this will definitely not be forgotten.." Xiao Shuxiang picked up Yinng xiong. He darted to end the fight so he could go somewhere else.
Just as his sword was about to slash at the two elders, someone suddenly shot out from behind the tree with a sword that was swinging strongly. Xiao Shuxiang noticed it and immediately changed the target of the attack.
!!
The clash of the two weapons sounded extremely loud, sparks were visible. Xiao Shuxiang and the figure fighting him were pushed back simultaneously.
The opponent who came was apparently Zui Yin Chang Ge, the Grand Elder of the Water Stork Sect. A college that had been ravaged by Xiao Shuxiang in the past.
"..."
It took a while for the Alchemist Chef to realize who he was up against. He was so shocked to find out the identity of this white-clothed elder before him. An uncomfortable feeling began to rage within him.
"The "same face.. The same attitude.. You never change."
!?
As cold as the voice heard by Xiao Shuxiang, his hand clasped firmly onto Yinng xiong and kept looking forward. He's still being vigilant.
His facial expression remained the same, his eyes did not change. It was just that when he was looked at more closely, Xiao Shuxiang was like holding back something that would come out of his eye grazer.
The Alchemist Chef let out a slow breath, his throat ached. He was actually faced with a past that he was very unwilling to face.
"Aren't you going to say anything to me?" there was a suppressive aura when Zui Yin Chang Ge asked Xiao Shuxiang. He clenched his right hand and seemed to refrain from hitting this young man he saw.
"…"
"Still not talking. Don't you not remember this Old Jack, Xiao Shuxiang?!"
!!
Perhaps for a moment the black-clothed young man had somewhat forgotten the look of the old man he had seen, but this distinctive sound had made his memory clear again.
The cultivator before him was the teacher of Zhou Yuan. He was a figure who treated him well just like Lai Kuan Ye.
Xiao Shuxiang, "Chairman.. You look scarier than I ever remember,"
"Is that all you want to say? You don't want to express your regret to me? Or rather.. You don't have that regret,"
"…"
Xiao Shuxiang did not reply, but his gaze slightly lowered. He was like being in his own mind while still maintaining vigilance. Slowly, his eyes began to look sad.
"Heah.. This is crazy," Xiao Shuxiang smiled and then looked at the old rascal who was standing not far in front of him. There was a drop of water falling on his eye when he looked at the old man.
"Ha ha ha, Elder.. You made me cry. I pity to see you in the tools, you should just calm down in the Baka Realm while watching this lunge of Xiao Shuxiang. You wasted your death.."
Seen without regret, even his voice did not feel trembling at all. Xiao Shuxiang might shed tears, yet it was not a sign that he was sorry or yearning with the old man before him.
Tears are a sign that he has reached his limit. He was so happy that it could not be revealed anymore, this was the first time in his life fighting with those he had killed in the past.
"Chairman, the only regret I want to tell you is.. In the past I have not been able to give you a beautiful death. Now I will make up for it," Xiao Shuxiang smiled widely, there was a strange twinkle in his eyes. Really, it's something unbearable.
Jian Shen who heard the remark seemed to be grinding his teeth, the veins stiffening on his forehead. He then shouted out loudly and pointed at Xiao Shuxiang.
"It's not worth living in this world..! The heavens give you a new life, you should be able to use that to change your behavior! Phuuih, you are even dirtier than trash, Xiao Shuxiang!"
Not only Jian Shen, but the other cultivators also started to spit out words that cared for the ears. Xiao Shuxiang himself only listened and then snorted as his ears filled with curse-filled utterances.
The only person who still had not done so, he was Wei Lou Ye. That cultivator from the Sky Sword Sect had never raised his tone to Xiao Shuxiang. He just gave me a look that seemed to need an answer.
Wei Lou Ye said, "The Chief of the Water Stork Sect has already given you a place to live and treated you well. Immortal Zhou Yuan even helped you when injured and had considered you a brother, but you had given them death instead. Others may deserve it, but are they the same?"
As Wei Lou Ye said, 'other people might have deserved it.' he glanced towards Jian Shen and the few cultivators who in the past had treated Xiao Shuxiang unkindly. His tone did not change, but his innuendo was quite disturbing to Jian Shen's ears.
Xiao Shuxiang himself understood the intent of the corpse of the charming cultivator before him. He also took a look towards Jian Shen, the fierce-looking young man had clearly been a thorn in his past.
Xiao Shuxiang's. "Senior Lou Ye, thank you for reminding me of the kindness of the disciples and teachers of the Water Stork Sect. Really, all this time I only remembered Senior Zhou more often. Not the others.."
Xiao Shuxiang was indeed not good at talking when in such a tense situation. Although it seems like no one attacked him, but he still has to prepare.
".. About that question, Senior. I have a suitable answer for him, 'this is because you guys dared to be nice to Xiao Shuxiang.'"
!
They should know that the risk of helping a criminal is enormous. It was like taking care of a poisonous wild snake, the chances of it becoming tame were very small, it could have been after the wound had healed - he just pecked at the hand that had taken care of it.
" .. Senior Zhou's actions that saved me have brought death upon you. If he had just let me go back then, maybe things would have been different. His thought that this world would be at peace when the cultivators of the three Streams could understand each other had brought the Eastern Continent towards destruction. That innocence.. Which has made you all die."
Xiao Shuxiang reminded that he should not accept all the hatred of cultivators. He bestows all the blame on his senior.
Zhou Yuan was a cultivator of the White Stream. He is like a warm snow mountain, charismatic, and like a house with all its love. She has white hair, and always wears a ribbon that covers both her eyes. His sincere nature did indeed place a place in Xiao Shuxiang's heart.
The Alchemist Chef respected Zhou Yuan, but that did not mean he did not dare to involve the name of that cultivator on his actions. In any case, Immortal Zhou Yuan should have shared half of the hatred of these cultivators' corpses.
"The truth is you bit the man who treated you like family.." Wen Li chimed in, she was a female cultivator who was a good friend of Ming Mei, the fourth patriach of the current Heaven Sword Sect.
".. You may have been treated badly in your neighborhood.." Wen Li continued to speak. He glanced towards Jian Shen before returning to say, ".. You may not be accepted by ordinary people either, but don't you remember how we treated you? We always felt you would change, Xiao Shuxiang.."
"…"
Xiao Shuxiang actually wanted to say that he should not be treated well. He did not want a relationship with any human being, let alone tying up a relationship that forced him to change.
He was Xiao Shuxiang. No matter what the world sees him as, he will still be himself. If the world sees him as a criminal, it is him. If the world doesn't like it, he just needs to eliminate them all.
"Miss Li, unfortunately I can't live up to your expectations. Either in the time when we met in my previous life, and while living my present life.. This Xiao Shuxiang will always be the same.."
The Alchemist Chef smiled, an opening smile from his words that would increase the potential resentment of the corpses paying attention to him.
".. You think living in a second-flow environment for six months can make me change? Or do you think my life is now.. For more than 20 years this can change me? Huh, what a big mistake."
!!
Wen Li and the others gasped as a thin smoke so quickly formed under Xiao Shuxiang's feet and enveloped the entire body of the young man. In an instant, the one standing before them was the figure of a 39-year-old youth.
Xiao Shuxiang's eye color turned red, his dark aura was more than usual. His posture was firm with black clothes and his robe of greatness. If his friends were here and saw his current change, they would definitely think several times to get closer or just say hello.
The look in Xiao Shuxiang's eyes was different, he was truly like another figure. Wen Li, Jian Shen, and the cultivators who witnessed the change seemed to be enveloping their bodies with an aura of hatred. The pressure is increasing as well.
".. During this ten lives Xiao Shuxiang had become a Black Flow cultivator, how could his nature be changed with only 20 more years living in the White Flow environment. My dream is still the same.. Destruction." Xiao Shuxiang smiled widely, he did have the desire to make a ruin, he said it consciously and in line with his heart and mind.
".. I never asked for forgiveness from heaven, including asking that I be given a new life in order to atone for the sins I committed. My regret is never there for you, not at all."
!!
Jian Shen was really angry when he heard that, yet he still refrained from acting rashly. "Well, now you're beginning to show your true nature." her voice trembled as she said it. Truly, he really wanted to cut down the body of this young man he saw.
"Xiao Shuxiang, you have been given a second chance to improve your life. Why do you want destruction? Have you never felt anything for the family you have now?" Wei Lou Ye tried to resuscitate the young man before her while watching Xiao Shuxiang intently.
"Fix my life..? Is correct. I'm doing it now, fixing my life. My dream is destruction, but my target is no longer the Eastern Continent. It's just, it looks like this place won't be okay as long as there are you guys."
!!
Without a cue, Xiao Shuxiang darted and only one strike from his sword.. He slashed at four cultivators at once.
!!
Not only was his voice like lightning striking, but his opponent's body had completely turned to ashes and had been blown away by the wind.
Jian Shen, Zui Yin Chang Ge, and Wei Lou Ye were briefly blown away by the shock wind generated by Xiao Shuxiang's sudden attack. The three immediately fixed the position and then attacked with an indisputable force.
TRAANG..!!
TRANGS..!
The movements in the fight were difficult for the eyes to follow, even including elaborately described. The only thing that could be said was that the fight made the ground tremble violently.
OH, BAAAAM..!!
The fallen leaves even seemed to be chopped into pieces with just the wind generated by the fight. A loud noise and a loud thumping sound to the point of almost waking the monster sleeping under the Snow Hill Without a Season.
!!
Yu Changhai was already very exhausted maintaining the seal on his residence. He was now assisted by Lai Kuan Ye and Shuai Niao. The two people closest to Xiao Shuxiang rushed over as the ground tremor took place for the first time.
".. We can't keep it like this. I can feel the monster starting to open its eyes.." Shuai Niao looked worried. As a Demonic Beast in the form of a white snake, its sensitivity was greater than Lai Kuan Ye and Yu Changhai himself.
"But only we and Tianqi Mao know about this. Tianqi Mao isn't even here right now, can any of you go looking for help?" Yu Changhai looked at Lai Kuan Ye and Shuai Niao in turn, he himself was impossible to leave.
"I'll be the one to go, you guys should be able to hold the seal a little longer." Lai Kuan Ye lowered his hand, his actions made the pressure that Yu Changhai and Shuai Niao had to endure even more.
Yu Changhai requested that Lai Kuan Ye go to the Mother Mountain and look for Zhou Yan, because to him only those Alchemists could help in overcoming this problem.
During the departure of Lai Kuan Ye, the Snow Hill Without a Season shook causing a landslide. Yu Changhai and Shuai Niao almost lost their concentration, let alone the thunderous sounds in the sky making the state of the two even more difficult.
On the other hand, chaos was still going on in the cities that existed in the Middle Sun Empire. Dai Chen, Li Qian Xie, and Xiao Lu were at the forefront to deal with the corpses of such powerful cultivators.
This great chaos did not only occur in the Central Sun Empire alone. The cultivators present in the other empires despite being aware of this danger, yet they were unable to do anything about it.
!!
There was a seal wrapping around the territory of the Middle Sun Empire until cultivators who were outside of the seal could not enter. When the fact that each of them attacked to destroy the seal-their attack was reflected back.
OH, BAAAAM..!!
It was almost that the cultivators were hit by the attacks themselves. They were so worried, the tremors on the ground and the endless rumbling sounds in the sky made them even more uneasy.
No one knew, but the seal that enveloped the Middle Sun Empire and was trying to be broken by cultivators was the outermost seal.
In fact, there were more than five seals and it was used to deter cultivators who feared it would be a problem for this grand plan. One of them was the existence of Ming Mei and Bai Wu Dang.
They were trapped in the outer region of Big Dipper City. The two were unable to enter the city due to this seal that had somehow come from nowhere. Even Ming Mei and Bai Wu Dang were unable to fly past the seal, they were already trying hard to be free but still could not.
"Patriarch, what should we do?" one of the Heaven Sword Sect disciples approached Ming Mei, there was anxiety on her face.
"We have to find another way, there may be a weak point of this seal.." Ming Mei told her disciples to follow her. Although he always closed his eyes, in fact he was not difficult to feel the way.
Today should be the preparation back for the wedding of Xiao Shuxiang and Ling Qing Zhu. But precisely because of this the enemies used as attack time, they really did not give Xiao Shuxiang a bit of peace.
OH, BAAAAM..!!
The four corpses of cultivators hit the building and the ground violently due to being hit by Ling Qing Zhu's attack. The white-haired, thin-faced girl exhaled and then attacked again.
Baiyi, his immortal sword was heavier after Xiao Shuxiang had once taken it. He did not know what his Guardian had done, but other than feeling heavy-Baiyi also felt somewhat different.
!!
Ling Qing Zhu did not know how to explain it. Although now the sword is heavy, but precisely when attacking opponents every step feels more easy.
Not only that, the technique from his nine lightning steps resulted in a more formidable attack than usual. He felt that he had improved at the moment.
TRAANG..!
Ling Qing Zhu's way of fighting was different from the female cultivators in general. He has an incredible amount of grace and elegance in every move.
The calmness of his attitude and the look in his eyes could not be imitated by any careless person. If a girl like Ro Wei who looked like she had a bad expression and looked tense, then Ling Qing Zhu was like calm water in the midst of the storm shock.
THE TRAANG!
Gong Zitao who was holding back several undead attacks noticed how Ling Qing Zhu was moving. The girl never got tired of being admired, let alone with her clothes that were still very clean with no stains at all.
"Beautiful.. Very admirable. I can't wait to make you mine.."
