HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
178 - Assistance

Xiao Shuxiang's forehead shriveled and he began to open his eyes. The first thing he saw was the calm and handsome face of his good friend.

".......... Lan Zhi?"

Lan Guan Zhi heard Xiao Shuxiang's voice, and he stared at his best friend's face without saying anything.

"..............." Xiao Shuxiang blinked a few times before being completely aware of his position that was currently in his good friend's arms.

!!!

Xiao Shuxiang was startled and instantly broke away from Lan Guan Zhi. It was just that the young man had forgotten that he was being taken flying right now.

Lan Guan Zhi was also shocked by Xiao Shuxiang's rebellion, yet he still rushed to pull and capture his good friend until Xiao Shuxiang did not freefall down.

Xiao Shuxiang's breathing was wheezing, as was Lan Guan Zhi. The two young men were both shocked and at this moment they might not consciously embrace each other.

"Why did you do that?!" Xiao Shuxiang was in heavy shock and was still hugging Lan Guan Zhi at this time.

"What do you mean?" Lan Guan Zhi held back his friend's body and tried to control the Qi in his sword lest they fall.

"You carried me from the front like a girl. That's scary, you know?!"

"Your ribs are broken. What can I do" Lan Guan Zhi was certainly not to blame. "Do you want to carry Miss Ling?"

Xiao Shuxiang expressed horror, "That's even worse..."

"..............."

Xiao Shuxiang exhaled and after trying to calm down, he released his embrace from Lan Guan Zhi. He was shocked when he found out he was currently being taken flying.

"You okay?" Lan Guan Zhi asked, his voice soft.

Xiao Shuxiang nodded in response. "It's okay now,"

"You sure?"

"My body still hurts, but not as bad as before. Now it was no longer a problem," Xiao Shuxiang looked around and heard the sound of an explosion. He patted Lan Guan Zhi's chest and seemed to signal for his good friend to stop.

Xiao Shuxiang said, "A-Yuan. You're a real miss. Why did you bring me here while the fight was still going on there."

"You're hurt. Unconscious. Need to be treated."

"Buddy. Even if my innards come out, I will still kill them. Anyway we're going there. Gotta..!"

"Shuxiang..."

"Come on, Lan Zhi..!" Xiao Shuxiang pointed to a floating island. He looked excited, "Hurry to it..!"

Lan Guan Zhi exhaled, "You love to force,"

"We're going there..!" Xiao Shuxiang did not reply to his good friend's words and simply gave the order.

Lan Guan Zhi embraced his good friend's arm and then flew off while still wearing a sword. They shot out at a high speed and at that moment Xiao Shuxiang remembered on his sword.

Elder Jing Shang Yu and Elder Xie Yanran are seen working together in the face of Fu Tou. This fight made Fu Tou exert all the energy he had.

Elder Jing Shang Yu is a close combat expert, while Elder Xie Yanran is more skilled in long range attacks and defense formations. The two elders were complementary, yet this strength was still not enough to overcome a person like Fu Tou.

At the same time, Elder Wang Jing Li and Ling Qing Zhu were fighting against Chu Gu Xiang. They put everything in and did not care at all about the impact of their stray attacks.

"Don't hold back your strength, Miss Ling..!" Elder Wang Jing Li exclaimed, "No life of a Cloud Sea Sect disciple needs to be protected in this place. Xiao Shuxiang had already saved them all..!"

Ling Qing Zhu nodded in response and then performed the Nine Steps Lightning technique to attack Chu Gu Xiang. His sword unleashed a mighty force and merged with the power from the sword lesion of Elder Wang Jing Li.

Chu Gu Xiang flicked his dark purple scarf. He growled, "So that's your plan? That handsome young man was just pretending not to care about the life of the Cloud Sea Sect disciple, huh. That's great,"

Chu Gu Xiang's hand holding Xiao Shuxiang's sword began to sway. Ying xiong shook and pulled out the Qi belonging to the person holding it. The sword launched a huge attack and then clashed with the incoming attack.

A powerful explosion was created with a very strong wind. Ling Qing Zhu, Elder Wang Jing Li, including Chu Gu Xiang himself were pushed back due to the powerful effects of the clash.

The ground to the point of shaking and was even felt by Elder Jing Shang Yu as well as Elder Xie Yanran. They were on the other side and were fighting fiercely. The injuries on the bodies of the two were until they were seen and in fact their appearance was a complete mess.

Fu Tou himself spat out blood. He caught his breath and held tightly to his greatsword. He growled, "You're only helped by girls! That still hasn't quite toppled me!"

?!

Elder Xie Yanran flinched and gazed towards the muscular man who was his opponent. He looked annoyed, "What did you say?! The chick?!"

Elder Xie Yanran exclaimed, "I am the Elder of Zhang Peak Mountain! You're a big flea..! I'm gonna make you go back to your mother..!"

"It is precisely you that I will make a whine to return to your father's lap..!"

Fu Tou gave off a pitch-black aura, while Elder Xie Yanran also enveloped his body with an overwhelming warrior aura.

"..............." Elder Jing Shang Yu breathed softly and co-enveloped his body with a warrior aura. Fu Tou now could not survive because he had said one of the 'forbidden' words that Elder Xie Yanran hated the most.

The patriarch of the Zhang Peak Mountain as well as the teacher of Wen Gao Chong was the least fond of being called, 'daughter', 'spoken', 'short' and the like. Elder Xie Yanran would definitely be furious.

!!!

The pointy ground that was now floating in the air and around Elder Xie Yanran started to dart towards Fu Tou and was faced undaunted by the muscular man.

Fu Tou grinned widely and laughed, "So this is only the ability of the Elder from Zhang Peak Mountain? Ha ha ha, too weak..!"

Elder Jing Shang Yu did not keep quiet. He darted and helped Elder Xie Yanran. The 'White Whale' sword technique could be extremely powerful and draw strength from the pointy ground lesion belonging to Elder Xie Yanran.

Fu Tou's steps started to get irregular. He frowned and felt even his fighting movements as if directed to hit Elder Xie Yanran's attack. He growled furiously as one of the tapered ground injured his right arm.

"You have made me angry..! No more mercy..!!" Fu Tou firmly held his sword. A thin black vein formed on his neck and the torn wound on his arm quickly closed back.

!!!

The eyes of Elder Jing Shang Yu changed. Elder Xie Yanran was surprised. Both of them did not expect that the opponent had extraordinary body regeneration.

"Tsk, this is bad." Elder Xie Yanran knew, there was no way this would end so easily for them.

It was because the opponent he faced was not an ordinary Black Stream cultivator, but rather a member of the Demon Valley Sect. This is really bad. Facing a figure like Fu Tou could not be done with just the cooperation of two Elders. They need help.

"DIE YOU...!!"

Fu Tou shouted loudly and swung his sword forcefully. A bolt of lightning came and struck Fu Tou's attack. Loud sounds and sparks and lightning were seen filling the air.

Elder Jing Shang Yu and Elder Xie Yanran were very surprised. The billowing dust made it hard for them to see who was receiving a fierce attack from the opponent.

!!!

Fu Tou widened his eyes. He saw two young men in white clothes standing before him. One of the young men he knew very well.

"YOU..!!"

"Surprised, huh?"

That voice and the same facial expression. Fu Tou could not possibly forget. The figure he saw was none other than Xiao Shuxiang!

It was true that Xiao Shuxiang and Lan Guan Zhi also existed. They come at stressful times.

The two handsome young men together held onto Shanghai and resisted the attack from Fu Tou. And since Lan Guan Zhi had not fought so far, his strength was still stored a lot.

Xiao Shuxiang used a fist that flowed his Qi and attacked Fu Tou's large chest. He managed to get the man to bounce quite a distance and came back to surprise Elder Jing Shang Yu and Elder Xie Yanran.

Xiao Shuxiang darted and caught up with Fu Tou who was bouncing. He fights using only a fist and a kick-not at all wearing a sword.

Lan Guan Zhi helped Xiao Shuxiang, as did Elder Jing Shang Yu and Elder Xie Yanran. They worked together against Fu Tou's figure and were very serious about carrying out the attack.

"You guys are really sneaky..!!" Fu Tou exclaimed, "Fight one against four..! Is this the teaching of the White Stream?!"

"Well, now you just protested?" Xiao Shuxiang mocked without stopping his attack, "Of course it would be unfair if one was against four people. But for a figure like you, this is perfectly justified!"

"Lack of Ajar..!! I'll break your hand..!" Fu Tou twisted his body and intended to give Xiao Shuxiang a kick that was instead held back by Elder Jing Shan Yu.

"Can't you hurt. As long as there was me," Elder Jing Shang Yu finally opened his voice. He was a Jade-faced Elder who had a dazzling voice.

Lan Guan Zhi darted after Elder Jing Shang Yu and was able to give a powerful kick that hit Fu Tou's chest. He seemed to emphasize that Xiao Shuxiang would be well protected.

"Forward! We help you," Elder Xie Yanran said and looked towards Xiao Shuxiang. "I've been watching him and I'm sure the empty-handed attacks you've been doing have more of an effect on him,"

Xiao Shuxiang flinched, but immediately nodded. He was fearlessly facing Fu Tou and his cooperation with the two Elders of the Cloud Sea Sect as well as Lan Guan Zhi's help had their opponents cornered.

"You said demons are immortal, right?" Xiao Shuxiang managed to give a kick to Fu Tou's wrist which made the man's great sword slip apart.

Xiao Shuxiang returned to give him a kick and said, "Today I will prove it to you. You are not an eternal demon. You're gonna die..!"

"DAMN SHIT..!" Fu Tou strengthened his arm muscles and attacked Xiao Shuxiang. It's just that in the empty-handed fight-his opponent is more benefited.

Fu Tou had long used a great sword as his weapon. He was less able to use his bare hands to fight. He was raising the muscles in his body naturally to lift and swing his greatsword.

While on the other hand, Xiao Shuxiang was an expert in various weapons including if he had to fight with his bare hands. The weak grass was capable of becoming a deadly weapon in Xiao Shuxiang's hands.

Ahhhh..!!

Fu Tou yelled as he felt his leg being pierced by a needle. He was startled when he saw the thing stuck in his calf was not something like the one in the shadow-as-except dry grass.

"Go and help others. I can now handle it alone," Xiao Shuxiang expressionlessly said and returned to give Fu Tou a big blow.

He exclaimed to Elder Jing Shang Yu, Elder Xie Yanran and Lan Guan Zhi. "Go to the front page! There are still many Demon Valley Sect members there..! Leave this guy to me, get going..!"

"You sure you can, son?!" Elder Xie Yanran asked and was taken in by Xiao Shuxiang.

"He certainly can. Come on elder," Lan Guan Zhi was very confident and believed in his good friend. He invited Elder Jing Shang Yu and Elder Xie Yanran to leave.

"............"

Inwardly, Lan Guan Zhi actually knew the reason why Xiao Shuxiang wanted him and the two elders to leave. The expression on his face and the gaze on his good friend's eyes had Lan Guan Zhi memorized correctly.

Lan Guan Zhi could not stop Xiao Shuxiang's desire nor was he willing to see what his good friend was going to do. He indeed had to let Xiao Shuxiang alone this time around.

After all, what the members of the Demon Valley Sect did to the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect did indeed need to receive heavy punishment.

The laws of whipping and hanging to death were even too light. Lan Guan Zhi better leave everything to his friend. Xiao Shuxiang was an expert at best punishing the most appropriate people as evil as the members of the Demon Valley Sect.
