XIAO SHUXIANG'S

XIAO SHUXIANG'S
482 - Cunning [Revised]



The loud shout just now was like a slap in the ears of the disciples of the Sky Sword Sect, including Sian Ru.


They spontaneously cast their eyes forward and saw the faces of the three corpses of cultivators who looked extremely wrathful.


!!


Of course this is surprising. None of them mentioned the name 'Xiao Shuxiang' in full, but the three corpses seemed to know the name of this young man. Moreover, the look on the face they showed was like someone who was dealing with a very hated enemy.


Sian Ru was also startled, she had fought with the corpses of these cultivators for quite a long time, but had never seen the look on their faces that contained such hatred. He looked at Xiao Shuxiang.


Sian Ru, "What.. They know you?"


"Hm, of course. Which human did not know Xiao Shuxiang? This dazzling handsome young man beside you is very famous among humans, Demonic Beasts, including those in the spirit realm. I'm so amazing,"


"Hah, shameless as always." Sian Ru regretfully asked, the curiosity she had in her eyes now disappeared instantly. This young man was praising himself too much and to be honest it was annoying.


"Would you and your brothers help others, I can't focus on fighting if I have to protect you."


!!


Sian Ru just wanted to snap. He did not need any protection at all, but Xiao Shuxiang had already darted first and ended up exchanging attacks with the three corpses of the cultivator.


It didn't take long until the fight was fierce. Sian Ru frowned as it was hard to hear what the corpses were saying to Xiao Shuxiang. This is because there are too many voices around.


"Revelation..!!"


!!


The shout of one of the cultivators made Sian Ru startled, it was fortunate that he still had time to jump dodge. He then swung his sword and attacked one of the corpses of the cultivators who came at him.


On the other hand, Xiao Shuxiang did not reply much to the utterances of these cultivators' corpses. Their reunion time was up, now it was only necessary to send them back to death.


!!


Unlike before, this time Xiao Shuxiang could kill an opponent with just a few moves. The Ring of Fire seal that Qian Kun had once given her made her stifled strength all this time open.


To his horror, every time Xiao Shuxiang touched an opponent and only wore a little Qi.. The strength from his opponent instantly entered his body and filled his main dantian.


On the other hand, it is indeed very helpful and honestly an amazingly great technique. But in truth, the more lives an opponent Xiao Shuxiang took-then the harder it was for him to control emotions.


"I have to finish this as soon as possible. I still have to go to the Middle Continent and look for the White Cat,"


Xiao Shuxiang put more emphasis on killing the corpses of cultivators who had higher practices. The rest he left to the disciples of these various sects.


"Xiao 'Er..!"


Xiao Shuxiang gasped when he heard the sound of an exclamation. In the air, there was a person who darted and treaded smoothly right in front of him. He flickered as his shoulder was directly patted and held tightly by the person who appeared to be the Mad Beggar Boy.


"Son, you have to take me home... The Middle Continent. Now either..." The Mad Beggar Boy gasped for breath, he darted as fast as he could and used the Profound Temperature Technique to figure out Xiao Shuxiang's position.


"You're such a mess.."


"Is that important now?! I want to go to the Middle Continent now, quickly take me there."


"Wait, what about here?! Me-!!"


!!


Xiao Shuxiang pulled the Mad Beggar Boy into his arms and immediately jumped up. Almost they become roast meat if he is not agile to avoid the attack earlier.


Xiao Shuxiang snapped at the corpse of the cultivator who dared to attack him as he was talking to the Mad Beggar Boy. He lays them wild and has no ethics at all.


"Xiao'Er, you must return me and follow me to the Middle Continent..!"


"This is the first time you've called me that.. All right, we're leaving. Looking at your anxious face also made me worry about the condition of the White Cat,"


Xiao Shuxiang gave an attack as a diversion and then held the hands of the Mad Beggar Boy. He then took the man to see Lan Guan Zhi, gave him a paper made from his solidified Qi, and said that his good friend could use the paper to go to the Central Continent.


Crazy Beggar Boy actually did not expect to meet his Lan'Er Gege back. He was eager to hug and greet the young man and vent his longing, but the present conditions did not allow him to act as such.


Xiao Shuxiang spoke hurriedly, not even waiting for his good friend to say. The Alchemist Chef took out the Moving Mirror and immediately entered it with the Mad Beggar Boy.


!!


Lan Guan Zhi could only stare at the departure of the two young men. He returned to playing his Guqin and now that this sounding tone was rougher than before, his range was much wider.

Compared to the Eastern Continent, help was actually much more needed in the Middle Continent. At least if in the Eastern Continent, there was still a cultivator as powerful as Immortal Zhou Yan. He was smart in utilizing his alchemist skills to fight enemies.


Not to mention, here was a person as important as Tianqi Mao and the one who had just joined was Lan Guan Zhi. That young man from the Sky Sword Sect had actually been able to control the battle grooves that existed in the Star Sky City in such a short period of time.


Not only them, even now in other cities cultivators who previously could not help due to blocked seals were now starting to arrive. They became truly reliable reinforcements.


Far away in other places, the situation is inversely proportional to those in the Central Continent. Those two Sky Empires were in alarming conditions.


No one could move the citizens of this continent like Tianqi Mao did. They must survive and try to save themselves.


The only one who could possibly do this, although honestly with a different technique was Ling Lang Tian. Others are strong warriors from different colleges.


Xiao Shuxiang and the Crazy Beggar Boy arrived at the Sky Pagoda Sect. The atmosphere in this place had a different dark and sure enough, the sky above them was covered by such a thick black cloud.


"You know, there's a lot of blood that I smell.." Crazy Beggar Boy covered his nose. He was in the outer courtyard of the Sky Pagoda Sect, but this scent that he smelled not only came from the injured citizens and was contained here, but also came from many places.


".. Why are you just standing still and crossing your arms? You saw them get hurt, right? Let's help." The Mad Pemaemia boy nudged Xiao Shuxiang who had just been standing beside him.


"Heah.. How can I help you? The world of my herbs disappeared all, one pill I don't have."


!?


The Mad Beggar Boy gasped when he heard Xiao Shuxiang's words just now. He saw this young man exhaling again for the umpteenth time.


"Are you not an Alchemist? Even without pills you should be able to treat, right?"


Xiao Shuxiang knew he had a special Qi and this advantage was also one of the reasons he was considered a monster in the past.


The Mad Beggar Boy himself understood that Xiao Shuxiang was not an ordinary person, but the point of his words was that this young man could examine the injured even without using Qi.


The thing is, Lan'Er Gege's good friend is still unwilling because he feels he's not coming here to stay here and treat people. Xiao Shuxiang had to find his White Cat.


The Mad Beggar Boy also just remembered, he also had to hurry now. "I'll help you track down Ling Qing Zhu's whereabouts, she might not be in a good condition."


!!


Xiao Shuxiang certainly did not mind, after all the smell of the Mad Beggar Boy was sharper and the area of his reach was vast. This youth with a bamboo stick can distinguish a wide variety of smells as thin as it is.


The Crazy Beggar Boy closed his eyes and focused on Energy In Temperature. If he was exerting all his energy on a single skill, then his kissing range could reach 90% of the territory of the Central Sky Empire.


"Find it."


!!


Xiao Shuxiang was shocked. He was stunned because the time it took the Crazy Beggar Boy was not too long. "Where is my White Cat's exact location?"


"Skeletal Sword Party. That place is quite far away if from here and the location is within the forbidden forest. It's hard to enter that forest with your head intact, even harder to get out."


The Mad Beggar Boy briefly explained that the Skull Sword Party besides being in the Black Stream region was also the place adjacent to a famous ravine on the continent. Whoever falls into it, even his own spirit will not experience reincarnation.


He also said the direction that Xiao Shuxiang had to go and warned for this young man to always be careful, do not be rash, let alone to lose control. The Crazy Beggar Boy did not want his residence to get even more chaotic.


Xiao Shuxiang himself did not reply to the Mad Beggar Boy's words. He immediately darted after knowing which place he should head to.


Some disciples actually saw Xiao Shuxiang and the Mad Beggar Boy, but they had such a serious condition that they could not say hello for now. Moreover, the two young men just now also appeared to show a face like they did not want to be disturbed.

In the Skull Sword Party, Ling Qing Zhu was finally able to make a move, but his gaze was somewhat blurry and he also felt strange.


The thing that previously might have been deliberately left behind by Gong Zitao and said has a rather sweet smell. He tried to hold his breath not to kiss her, but in the end was unable to hold his breath for too long.


"......"


Ling Qing Zhu walked carefully and looked for an exit that could free him from this room. It's just that, other than the main door - there's nothing including a window here.


"......."


He also could not open the door with his own power. His blood flow is not smooth and the more he moves, the more his body will weaken. However, he is still trying to find his calm.


?!


Ling Qing Zhu flinched, he immediately took some distance from the door when he heard the thing begin to open. Through the blurry vision, he still knew the person who walked in was Gong Zitao.


"There's no change at all.. I thought I'd see you snuggle up and beg me,"


"......."


The young man's voice was clear, yet it somehow felt painful in Ling Qing Zhu's ears. He respected the young man before him for seeing that they were still brothers and sisters, but Gong Zitao seemed to have been beyond help.


"Your behavior is bad. Even this way, you won't steal my attention."


"I don't need that. You've seen me as a criminal, now I'm the villain."


Ling Qing Zhu though had blurry eyesight, but he guessed Gong Zitao was giving him a strange look. He was trying to prepare for something that could happen.


"Shuxiang is coming, Gong Zitao. My Guardian will not let you go," Ling Qing Zhu was actually not sure Xiao Shuxiang was coming, she just spontaneously said.


"Hmph, that young man won't be freed so easily. And even if he comes here, it'll be much better. I was waiting for her to come.." Gong Zitao kept walking forward and his tone was really cold, he was scary with such an eye.


!!


Ling Qing Zhu did not budge from where he stood, even when Gong Zitao was already two steps away from him. For him, if he took a step back, this young man would further corner him and he could be seen as a timid girl.


"Miss Ling, do you know why I haven't touched you until now?" Gong Zitao leaned his face forward, he smiled faintly before continuing his words. "... That's because I'm waiting for your Guardian Protection to come. It would be much more pleasant if he looked with his own eyes... How this beautiful wife of his had someone else... Right in front of him."


"......"


Ling Qing Zhu's hands clenched, yet his eyes and facial expression did not change. It was just that this apparent calmness was inversely proportional to what was hidden in his heart.


"Do what you can. But don't expect you'll stay alive."


Actually Ling Qing Zhu was scared, that cold, flat tone of voice was just to cover up how fragile he was right now.


He actually did not have any hope that his Guardians would come. Even if it did happen, the young man would definitely find it difficult to get to his place. And to him, he could not rely on anyone else.


There was nothing reliable other than oneself, Ling Qing Zhu had to figure out a way to save himself. Make him detach from Gong Zitao, this unforgivable fellowship.


!?


Gong Zitao realized there was a change in the girl before him. He saluted because even in a desperate situation, this white-haired girl was still insistent on guarding her servants.


"Why don't you just kneel down and beg me? Maybe with you doing that, I can be a little generous. Hm, how?"


"......"


"Why silence, Miss Ling? You can't control your voice or.. Is your throat getting dry? You want a drink?"


!!


Ling Qing Zhu stared intently at Gong Zitao. He could not clearly see the face of this young man and his heart also started pounding incoherently. He clenched his hands tightly until blood dripped between his fingers.


"......."


He couldn't say anything, he had a hard time saying a word. Something sneaky, immoral, and disgusting dared to be used by this person to make him look humiliated. Gong Zitao has already surpassed the limits of humanity.
