XIAO SHUXIANG'S

496 - Defense [Revised]

Seeing the face of the elder who was trying hard to break free made a grin form on the handsome face of Xiao Shuxiang. His eyes glittered along with his fingernails that began to stick on the neck of the warrior.

Ling Shen Yue and Wang Rui Chang themselves were unable to get close. They were held back by a mirror that just suddenly appeared and gave them an attack.

Ling Qing Zhu himself saw that his brother wanted to attack Xiao Shuxiang, so he darted and tried to stop Ling Lang Tian from wanting his brother to do something he would regret later.

"Qing Zhu'Er, don't interfere. Go." Ling Lang Tian's voice and eyes were so cold, "You don't defend him. I've seen enough of who he really is,"

"Sister, I'm asking you for help. Don't go with what they're doing, at least listen to me."

"Qing Zhu'Er!!"

Ling Lang Tian just wanted to snap at Ling Qing Zhu as he suddenly flinched and immediately pulled his sister over. They avoided a stray attack. There wasn't enough time to talk, let alone the flow of this fight started to take place faster.

Ling Qing Zhu kept her brother from joining the fight, she indeed did not have time to explain due to the sound of this commotion and her Guardian Guardians who were like starting to forget themselves.

From the look in his eyes, Ling Lang Tian could see his sister wanting to say something. While remaining vigilant, he said very coldly.

"You're too defensive of your Guardian Protector. Don't you see who he really is?"

"Sister, all this time she had never hurt anyone else." Ling Qing Zhu's voice was calm, but instead made her brother's face stiffen.

"Never hurt anyone else you say? Don't you see how many people he's hurt?"

"They deserve it." Ling Qing Zhu only turned his head briefly towards Ling Lang Tian before focusing on the fight in front of him. "Those who start first. He's just protecting himself. Brother too.. Have not many people died in your hands? Why is it that when my Guardian Guardians did it, it looked wrong?"

Ling Lang Tian knew the intent of his sister's words, he honestly continued to support Xiao Shuxiang even though the young man was the reincarnation of the Destroying Star. But the problem was, he would not accept that Xiao Shuxiang was also a reincarnation of a being like 'Devil'.

"Monsters that bring destruction are unacceptable in this world. Don't you get it? How many times have you defended him, Satan is unacceptable. If you stay like this, I have no choice but to make you die with him."

"......"

You still don't understand, brother..

Ling Qing Zhu drew his sword and prevented Ling Lang Tian from darting. He admitted that he would not be able to survive more than three moves when his brother was serious. But he is still trying to win it with words, although honestly he is not good at talking.

TRAAANG..!!

His sword clashed violently with Ling Lang Tian's blunt bladed sword, he felt numbness in his hand and the attack just now created a shockwave.

"Sister sees him as a Devil, then what about a human whose behavior is even more demonic than him?" a sweat point formed on Ling Qing Zhu's forehead, the pressure he was experiencing was so intense. Yet he was still trying to calm Ling Lang Tian down.

"You are a wise man, brother. Please put your anger aside and look at me..."

!!

A soft voice that was like water had splashed and struck into Ling Lang Tian's heart. He did not accept Xiao Shuxiang's truth, but he could not ignore his sister's wishes.

"Your Guardian is no longer able to recognize itself, Qing Zhu'Er. Are you still going to help her?"

"Mn, I'll do it." Ling Qing Zhu nodded slowly. He also had many questions, he was shocked, his heart was shaken at the sight of the change in his Guardian-but somehow his shock lasted a very short time.

Xiao Shuxiang's appearance was once very admirable with white hair and pointed ears, so it was no surprise that he was able to receive another appearance from the young man.

"Shuxiang is only protecting yourself. Please help me calm the others down,"

It wasn't Xiao Shuxiang who started, but it was the warriors who insisted on killing his Guardian. Ling Qing Zhu felt that the young man was trying hard not to kill them.

!!

The moment the thought flashed, a thumping sound rang out and made the ground somewhat tremble. Ling Qing Zhu and Ling Lang Tian were shocked because this fight was even more stressful than before.

The loud thump came from the wall of the Sky Pagoda Sect that was destroyed by being hit by Xiao Shuxiang. He had previously implanted his long fingernails into the neck of an old swordsman, but when it was almost very deep - an attack hit him.

Xiao Shuxiang bounced far enough away, but was still able to position himself until it did not hit the ground. The attack was made by an old swordsman whose face was unfamiliar-but whose strength was very familiar to him.

The eyes of the Alchemist Chef flashed and contained an outpouring of anger. Seeing the old jackfruit's face that returned gave him an attack made Xiao Shuxiang's blood boil.

!!

Both streaking. The light of different colors clashed with each other without caring about the surrounding environment.

Highlight Xiao Shuxiang's eyes sharpened and he bluffed, "Can't you give me a little quiet life, huh?!" his fist clashed violently with the old sword blade of the jackfruit until the high-quality heirloom just crumbled.

"Hmph, didn't I give it to you? Including letting you get married,"

The old man dressed in white with a stork pattern had a calm face, he wore Inner Energy and gave a tread attack that made his opponent hit a building wall.

OH, BAAAAM..!!

His voice is very loud. The old swordsman did not wait for time and immediately darted before his opponent got back up. He pressed the chest of the black-clothed youth and gave him a sharp look.

"Aren't your efforts in vain? Why do you keep fighting me, Shuxiang?!"

!!

Xiao Shuxiang was unable to move, he vomited blood, gasping in anger, but still showed his smile.

"Whose face are you stealing, huh?" he did not answer the old man's question before him, instead throwing a question that sounded sneering.

"... How many humans have you taken his face, Qian Kun?"

Among the techniques that Xiao Shuxiang-Blood Control Techniques possessed was the strongest and did not have a great risk during its use. But this technique is completely useless when faced with a figure who does not have blood like an old jackfruit who is pressing on his chest with this palm.

"You can kill me... But I'll never do anything you want."

"Shuxiang, you'll definitely do it. And I'm gonna make that happen."

!!

A fierce heat felt like it pierced through Xiao Shuxiang's bones. The Ring of Fire seal that was on his stomach was active and forced his two dantians to absorb the abundant power.

"Aren't I very good to you? And you never even appreciated the kindness of this 'Your father."

Xiao Shuxiang groaned, his self-control almost reaching the limit, "You.. Not my dad!"

"You've really changed. Does man look important in your eyes now, huh? They're just trash. They are hostile towards you and want to kill you because you are different, are you still being generous?!"

It was inexhaustible to think where Xiao Shuxiang hated that human so much. Qian Kun was completely suppressed by the behavior of this young man who was beginning to appreciate his relationship with humans.

"You're weak Xiao Shuxiang!" his eyes were sharp, "The man who made you weak... I'll make you kill them,"

!!

The voice was cold and Xiao Shuxiang's heart was like it was about to explode. As powerful as he was, Qian Kun was an enemy he could not defeat. This kind of reality would truly be a terrible shock.

Xiao Shuxiang could not suppress it anymore, even the Soul Restraint Seal had already disappeared a long time ago. The heirloom sword that was previously able to suppress and calm him back had also disappeared.

The Alchemist Chef spewed blood, and the blackish thin veins increasingly formed all over his pale white skin, including his neck and cheeks.

Xiao Shuxiang's pupils turned bright, like they belonged to a ferocious monster. The horns that were not there before, are now beginning to be seen. Now, even his Swordsman Aura turned into an unusually strong killing appetite.

"Now, let me show you clearly... How bad are these humans,"

Xiao Shuxiang felt his neck being gripped, his body being thrown to smash through the wall and he stopped after hitting the ground.

He would only move as dozens of ropes shot from various directions and stretched out like a pattern. His body was wrapped around the last rope which was apparently an Immortal Strap, this was the sealing technique of the Earth Stake Party.

His spiritual blood vessels locked up so tightly that even this rope restricted his blood flow. He vomited blood for the umpteenth time and then gnashed his teeth.

!!

Xiao Shuxiang's position was quite far away at the gate of the Sky Pagoda Sect. He could see many warriors and cultivators coming out from various places. They seem to have planned this.

Not only did it kill people and take their faces, Qian Kun was truly an expert at manipulating. The thing is, his appearance now appears to be clearly a demonic incarnation.

The lies that Gong Zitao spoke of were now the truth. All the warriors now saw this terrible change of his and their confidence multiplied many times over.

!!

Ling Qing Zhu was like he no longer found his Guardian Guard. The sharp look in his eyes was like he was going to skin him alive. Unknowingly, he even took one step back.

"It seems like it's really too late," Ling Lang Tian felt that Xiao Shuxiang had already lost his human mind, this aura he felt was too gripping to the point of leaving him speechless.

!!

An ominous taste invoked Xiao Shuxiang's killing appetite, even the leaves on the trees withered instantly.

This aura reaches up to three cities, humans who feel it suddenly suffer from dizziness, shortness of breath, nausea, to fainting. The wounded and seemingly treated warriors even felt their pain grow.

"Chairman Mo, thank you for helping."

One of the cultivators represented the others, he saluted the swordsman who had already acted on capturing Xiao Shuxiang without making much damage. He expressed his admiration for the Earth Stake Party.

The old cultivator called Elder Mo simply smiled faintly and returned the salutes of the other warriors. This action of throwing praise at each other was clearly plastered before Ling Qing Zhu's eyes and it was painful.

Ling Lang Tian also disliked it, especially when his grandmother and aunt were following along. In addition, his 'Father' was still unable to assuage his anger. They were clearly staring at Xiao Shuxiang with full of disdain and contempt.

"Elder Mo, this monster-killing lust is too dense. It's much better to finish him off now,"

"True, just finish him off..!"

"True, finish him off..!"

Ling Qing Zhu's hands clenched, his eyes worsened as he turned to one of the cultivators who was none other than Gong Zitao. The young man seemed to be holding his arm and resting on a wooden stick.

He must have been pretending.

The young man showed a very satisfied facial expression, he was clearly looking down on someone with his eyes and it was hidden so beautiful. But of course, he could not hide his mask from Ling Qing Zhu.

The white-haired girl stepped back and took her place behind the warriors when she realized Gong Zitao was circulating her gaze.

"......"

Ling Lang Tian frowned as his sister suddenly took some distance from him. He had just wanted to ask, but Elder Mo's remark caught his attention.

"... After all, he was the son-in-law of the Sky Pagoda Party Elder. The right to punish belongs to Elder Ling."

The old man replied politely, but as if handing over the slaughter of chicken to a proper person. In his heart he smiled and mocked Xiao Shuxiang to look at her, 'This is the reality of living among humans.'

If they hate, then you can't give any excuses. Even if you're right, you'll still be wrong in their eyes. People like this who should not deserve forgiveness.

Gong Zitao who heard the old warrior's proposal and seemed to be hiding his pleasure. He could finally see with his own eyes - how the young man he so hated was killed even without going through his hands.

Gong Zitao actually did not know that the Old Bangka who just spoke was Qian Kun. All he knew, the fox masked man was somewhere and was taking care of the resurrection of the Elder of the Skull Sword Party, Raka Daksa.

The party elders could be said to be extremely greedy. He sacrificed his young disciples in exchange for eternal power and made his other disciples bring chaos to every city.

In the eyes of the warriors, the arrival of the Blood Scarlet was due to Xiao Shuxiang. Perhaps also, the young man had been pretending to be a part of them and secretly orchestrating all this chaos. Clearly, Xiao Shuxiang had been designated as a suspect.

!!

At a time when many voices were sneering and insulting the Guardian Protector of Ling Qing Zhu-someone had just come and retraced on a tree branch not too far from the scene.

His face was so pale and his eyes were watering with pain. This killing lust was too dense to make him asphyxiate.

"Damn. I'm really late, "there's a sense of regret in the eyes of the man holding the bamboo stick in his right hand.

He was already unable to sense the presence of Xiao Shuxiang, the young man whose body was tied to the rope like he had forgotten himself. In this kind of moment, there was not even a word 'Friends' on his mind.

The Crazy Beggar Boy honestly did not know what to do to save Xiao Shuxiang. If he shows himself and tries to help the young man-himself will cause a lot of trouble. Most likely he would be branded as a Devil droplet as well.

!!

Not to mention, Xiao Shuxiang might just pounce on him if he dared to approach. Although it seemed like a strong bond, but the man-made seal for the Crazy--Beggar Boy remained weak and unable to last long sealing his good friend Lan'Er Gege.

"Shuxiangsu... How's this..?" Crazy Beggar Boy trying to rack his brain. Too many people and they feel like they are venting pent-up anger. He can't get close.

"You scoffed at how much Xiao Shuxiang remained unaffected, the child might have drowned even deeper.."

At this kind of time, it was actually only Yinng xiong who could help Xiao Shuxiang. The sword could suppress the killing intent and clear the mind of its owner again, but even such an heirloom scabbard did not exist in this place.

!!

The Mad Beggar Boy gasped as Ling Chu Zhen began to wield his sword force. He had forgotten with one thing, the Grand Elder of the Sky Pagoda Sect had a Sword Core technique that could clearly make a crippled cultivator unable to cultivate anymore.

Ling Chu Zhen had never used this technique because it was considered a dangerous technique, yet from the look of his now-She was like he would not be lenient to Xiao Shuxiang.

!!

The Crazy Beggar Boy thought for too long. Ling Chu Zhen's sword had already darted first and aimed directly at Xiao Shuxiang. He was late to action and his heart resistance was completely tested right now.

Just as Ling Chu Zhen's sword nearly stuck in Xiao Shuxiang-a sword darted and repelled the attack. The eyes of the entire swordsman immediately widened and immediately turned to the direction the lesatan was coming from.

Gong Zitao's face froze, his expression unable to hide the shock upon seeing someone dressed in all-white walking over and as if breaking up the crowd.

The figure was shrouded in a powerful Swordsman Aura and also endured the pressure from Xiao Shuxiang's killing intent, yet his clear eyes still contained calmness.

!?

Everyone clearly knew the identity of the figure. A person with beautiful long white hair, a unsightly appearance, and would never saturate-the-eyed Heaven Pagoda Sect.

Ling Qing Zhu was able to dispel the air of his existence so that people could ignore him, yet he was now the center of attention.

He walked over and continued to stare towards the young man who was clearly giving a deadly look to him.

Xiao Shuxiang was still entangled in the Eternal Binding Rope, but his growl could create a suppressing wind capable of giving the swordsmen a boost. He doesn't seem to want to be approached.

"Qing Zhu'Er, stop..! What are you doing?" Ling Shen Yue gained his consciousness, he reprimanded his grandson and told Ling Qing Zhu to stay away from Xiao Shuxiang.

Ling Chu Zhen's sword floated up and returned to the hands of its owner. He looked at his daughter and had Ling Qing Zhu stop because the girl did not obey Ling Shen Yue's orders at all.

All eyes are looking. They were shocked and also had many assumptions. Ling Qing Zhu stood before Xiao Shuxiang as if trying to protect the young man. Did he not see how terrifying Xiao Shuxiang was right now?!

"Miss Ling, if you approach any further. He could kill you,"

One of the warriors pointed out and made Ling Qing Zhu stop when it was about three meters away from Xiao Shuxiang. He also looked into the depths of his Guardian Eyes and a growl rang out.

!!

It took a strong Qi to endure this wave of wind and even with eyes that were as calm as water-Ling Qing Zhu was honestly scared. His Guardian growled like she did not remember him in the slightest. He then turned around and looked towards Ling Chu Zhen.

"Please put down your sword, Elder." Ling Qing Zhu fused his hands together, saluting.

"Qing Zhu'Er, didn't you hear? Don't get close to him and come quick."

"I have heard and obeyed many of the elders' orders. But for this one, let your students be a little outrageous."

!!

Ling Qing Zhu did not call Ling Chu Zhen as his 'Father', yet his respect never diminished. In his heart he gathered a lot of courage because for the first time in his life - he was faced with a condition as complicated as this.

"Chairman, please draw your sword." Ling Qing Zhu asked again, he made the hearts of his family members and the warriors somewhat heated up, except for Ling Lang Tian.

"What the fuck, Miss Ling? Are you defending a Devil?"

"Miss Ling, take a good look. Although Xiao Shuxiang is in a relationship with you, but he has been deceiving you all this time. You're.. And we all..!"

"......."

Ling Qing Zhu did not respond to the various words that came out from the swordsmen's mouths, he again released a lot of energy when suddenly his Guardian Master growled again because of the many voices that were mutually speechless. Now, even Xiao Shuxiang was trying to rebel.

The warriors who were holding the seal including Qian Kun drained their Deep Power and made Xiao Shuxiang feel pain all over his body before finally spitting out blood.
