Jian Yang looked very worried. He was now hovering by using his navel sword, right around the island where the Cloud Sea Sect was building.


Not only Jian Yang, but also Yan Tianhen, Lan Guan Zhi, Ling Qing Zhu, including Elder Wang Jing Li and Elder Xie Yanran were also present. Even some disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect were present. They surround the floating island.


"We've been waiting for a long time and there's still no sign of Brother Xiao," Jian Yang gulped down his saliva, "Is it possible that his plan has failed?"


"..............." Lan Guan Zhi heard it, but did not say anything.


On the other hand, Elder Wang Jing Li seemed to be clenching his hands. "This shouldn't have happened if I hadn't listened to the boy. He's obviously very young, but why would I let him?"


Elder Wang Jing Li felt bad. He knew the age of Xiao Shuxiang who had not even reached head three and he should have banned the risky plan of the young man, but Xiao Shuxiang's remark was so convincing that he believed it.


Elder Xie Yanran felt bad as well. "It's even been over 7 minutes, very different to the original plan that only said five minutes. I can't keep quiet here,"


"I'm leaving," Elder Wang Jing Li was about to dart when he heard the cry of one of the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect.


"Something's thrown..!"


Elder Wang Jing Li flinched. He saw the rubble of the building being thrown and falling towards him, some disciples dodging the rubble.


Elder Wang Jing Li narrowed his eyes and instantly darted when he knew a human had been thrown. He managed to catch her and gasped when he found out that the one he caught was Zhao Lu Si.


Elder Xie Yanran also looked at him and became tense. He exclaimed, "Prepare! Now commencing..!"


!!!


Jian Yang and the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect directly set the position. So did Lan Guan Zhi and Ling Qing Zhu. They saw among the rubble of the buildings that were thrown there were also disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect who were prisoners.


Lan Guan Zhi managed to capture one female disciple. It was just that the injuries to the disciple were already too severe and had even gone. On the other hand, the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect were also there to capture the corpse of their brother, not the least of which was even just catching the body pieces.


"This ..." Yan Tianhen's voice trembled and his countenance was pale. He could not accept that his fellow students would suffer such a tragic fate.


"There's no time to be sad, Tianhen!" Liu Wei Lin exclaimed. "You must strengthen your heart...!"


Yan Tianhen tried to catch his breath. Although there was one point in his heart that disliked Liu Wei Lin, but what the young man said was indeed true.


Yan Tianhen could not become weak, he had to confirm his heart. He was no longer a novice in this blood-shedding world.


On the other hand, Ling Qing Zhu actually felt the same way as well. His heart throbbed pain looking at the condition of the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect who were prisoners. And bad, he can't do anything to those who are gone.


"........... Shuxiang," Ling Qing Zhu took a breath and recalled his Guardian Protector. The words of the dazzling young man were still ringing in his head.


"I have one plan. I'll attack them directly to their place. While you help me lay siege to the floating island. Let me save the disciples in my own way and after getting the signs the Elders will ambush immediately."


"You...! How could I possibly let you attack that place alone?! They're after you and you just want to give yourself up?!" Elder Wang Jing Li protested.


Back then, Xiao Shuxiang's facial expression did not change. "Who gave himself up, Elder? I'm talking seriously. No one can face those men while they're still taking hostages. Only I can."


"But why?!"


"Because your hearts are weak. I admit you have a high practice and honestly very strong. But when faced with the safety of the lives of others, you cannot handle it. You tend to choose to sacrifice yourself and that is the wrong thing. I'll never let it go, so I'll go. Wait until the hostages are released and only after .... You can attack."


"But--"


"Five minutes. Trust me this five minutes. When the time comes and no change happens, then do what you want to do. But really, you will lose if you don't follow what I say."


Lan Guan Zhi was like that. He never doubted his best friend's thoughts even though Xiao Shuxiang did sometimes like to act childishly and was hard to predict.


Is correct. Previously there had been a lot of crazy actions done by his best friend, but all of that always ended up with something extraordinary. As of now, Xiao Shuxiang was doing an unusual way to save the lives of the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect.

In front of his enemies. Xiao Shuxiang might look unconcerned with the captives. He had even shown how unconcerned he was by slashing the corpses of the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect and also wounding those who were still alive.


Not only that, Xiao Shuxiang did not even care if the shock wind created from the Breathing Technique and its manager made the captives flung into the air. Especially accompanied by the debris of the building which was also thrown.


Xiao Shuxiang was trying to be able to maintain the strength of each of his attacks. He could not stop moving now because if it happened, then the pain would instantly radiate to his body and he would probably not be able to move anymore.


Xiao Shuxiang held his breath and still exchanged attacks with Fu Tou. He said, "Something is really troubling my mind right now. My heirloom sword, Yinng xiong has a deadly poison. One small scratch, then the opponent will instantly become a lump of flesh. But you .... Besides not dying into a lump, you can still fight like this. Is it possible you--"


"Hmph, isn't the devil an immortal being?"


!!!


Fu Tou grinned at the surprised expression of his opponent. He said, "The devil will not die until all the creatures of this world are gone. You .... It's free to fight me...!"


Fu Tou stomped his feet and attacked with even greater force so that he could shake the ground. He made his opponent unable to defend until he had to hit several buildings that were still standing.


"Ha ha ha, no one can fight the Devil. We have great power and you're just like a little ant in my eyes." Fu Tou licked the blade of his great sword, his eyes gleaming red. "It's time to finish this-"


"Fu Tou," Chu Gu Xiang interjected, he retraced beside his comrade. "You don't kill him. Give the young man to me,"


?!


Fu Tou frowned and looked at this dark purple-clothed beautiful girl beside him, "Why do you want that person? He was just a weak youth and his cultivation practice was really trash,"


Chu Gu Xiang stared intently at Fu Tou, but his lips were attracted to form a smile. "I want that young man because he has already dared to face us alone. He didn't seem to know how dangerous the Demonic Valley Sect was."


Chu Gu Xiang chanted coldly, "I don't want him to die so easily. It'll embarrass me. Youunderstand?"


"Hmph, then I'll cut off his hands first so that he won't be able to fight back later,"


Chu Gu Xiang did not stop Fu Tou. He saw his companion darting to the place where Xiao Shuxiang was.

Xiao Shuxiang's body only stopped after hitting five buildings and three tree trunks as well as a large stone that had always been his seat.


The huge stone even broke into pieces and it was a fortune that Xiao Shuxiang was still alive now.


"I wish it was over..." Xiao Shuxiang coughed out blood. He tried to breathe slowly, his gaze looking up at the sky. "........ It's night,"


Xiao Shuxiang closed his eyes for a moment. His entire body was currently in great pain and even to move a little would add to his pain by many times over.


"I'm hungry .... And also sleepy ...." Xiao Shuxiang let out a slow breath. He believes there are some broken bones.


It felt really sick, but he found it hard to scream in pain and vent everything. He held his voice.


"I'm really sleepy .... But it's not over yet. Haaah.... Never mind. At least .... The prisoners are free now. I have also made one good .... What I can be proud of,"


A red flash was seen in the sky and shot to where Xiao Shuxiang was. The lightning hit the ground and slowly the figure of the man who was none other than Fu Tou was seen.


The muscular man was about 7 meters away from where Xiao Shuxiang was lying. He walked quietly while holding his great sword. Fu Tou grinned.
