HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
180 - An Unexpected Person

Chu Gu Xiang growled stifled. He waved his hair roughly and stared intently at Elder Wang Jing Li. The man always attacked without letting him retaliate.


"It seems like you can't fight anymore," Elder Wang Jing Li voiced coldly and held his greatsword firmly. He pointed at his opponent with a sword and again said, "You better now tell me why you attacked this sect of mine, or if not--"


"'If not, ' what?" Chu Gu Xiang interjected, "You will never be able to threaten Chu Gu Xiang. An old man like you can't even compete with me."


"It's so arrogant," Elder Wang Jing Li walked over, "Are you unaware of your position right now? You're the one who's being pushed around right now and all you need to do now is beg for your safety,"


Chu Gu Xiang snorted and then spat out blood. He grinned and looked at Elder Wang Jing Li. The atmosphere around him suddenly changed and Chu Gu Xiang's voice sounded heavier than usual.


Chu Gu Xiang said, "It wasn't me who should be begging. But you..!"


!!?


Ling Qing Zhu flinched, while Elder Wang Jing Li instantly darted when he knew what Chu Gu Xiang was going to do. Only, Elder Wang Jing Li was late.


!!


Ling Qing Zhu saw that Chu Gu Xiang had suddenly turned into a puff of purple-pointed smoke and heard a heavy sound like a ferocious beast. Elder Wang Jing Li bounced and struck two trees before falling to the ground violently.


Ling Qing Zhu knew this was not over. He darted with a swing of the sword and attempted to slash the purple-pointed smoke. But the shock wind suddenly came and made him bounce.


Ling Qing Zhu could not set a fitting position and he was even difficult to move. The attack that came suddenly shocked him greatly and made his body sick.


The thin veiled girl thought that she would definitely hit the tree trunk hard due to the shock wind attack from her opponent. But unexpectedly - there was a hand outstretched and prevented it from hitting the tree in a painful manner.


Ling Qing Zhu flinched. He could see the charming face of the figure holding his body at this moment. The figure before him had a dazzling smile despite the blood on his cheeks and the corners of his lips. Ling Qing Zhu recognized this person.


"............. Shuxiang?"


"I'll be here soon because I'm worried about your situation,"


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


If you want to be honest. Xiao Shuxiang who was now speaking in a gentle tone was much more authoritative than when he was in his usual fashion.


Even for a moment, Ling Qing Zhu had forgotten his current position.


!


When it came to a realization, Ling Qing Zhu immediately pushed Xiao Shuxiang over and fixed her position. He coughed softly and began to pat the dust on his clothes. His facial expression returned as calm as the lake water.


Xiao Shuxiang himself blinked and did not mind him. He turned to Elder Wang Jing Li and breathed a sigh of relief because the Elder was still alive.


Xiao Shuxiang was just about to speak when the purple-great smoke let out a stronger growl and shocked anyone who heard it.


Ling Qing Zhu looked forward with caution. He also said, "......... Your sword. I haven't got it yet,"


Xiao Shuxiang flinched. He looked at the white-haired girl beside him and felt that Ling Qing Zhu was already fighting too much at the moment.


Xiao Shuxiang was certain that the appearance of his White Cat must be a mess now. Especially when he held the girl's body back--herself in a bad condition.


"..............." Xiao Shuxiang was actually grateful because the current condition was at night or else-Ling Qing Zhu might just be afraid to see her appearance.


"........... Is that thing the pretty girl who took my sword?" Xiao Shuxiang took off his clothes and looked forward, "I remember him picking them up.."


Ling Qing Zhu turned his head for a moment and asked his Guardian Protector, "Why did you take off your clothes?"


"Because it's dirty and I don't want to get dirty any more" Xiao Shuxiang replied lightly. He had indeed already dirty his white clothes and it did not look good right now.


Xiao Shuxiang exhaled as he remembered it. The main reason why he had only given Fu Tou a light punishment before was because of remembering the color of his clothes and remembering that he was currently learning to be a 'little' better human being.


"White Cat, you stay here and let's finish the rest for you." Xiao Shuxiang immediately shot up when he saw the purple-great smoke begin to reveal the head of the monster that was like a huge snake.


Ling Qing Zhu just wanted to talk, but his Guardian had already left first. He gasped when he heard the growl from Elder Wang Jing Li.


"You go help the others..!" Elder Wang Jing Li gave orders to Ling Qing Zhu and then darted out with a powerful swing of the sword.


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


Ling Qing Zhu was actually already tired. His strength was drained a great deal as it continued to support the attack from Elder Wang Jing Li earlier. He simply did not show that tired feeling on his face.


Ling Qing Zhu dodged the stray attack from Xiao Shuxiang and Elder Wang Jing Li's fierce fight against Chu Gu Xiang who turned into a huge snake monster.


With a quick movement, Ling Qing Zhu took out his Guardian Protector clothes and then darted to another place. He was indeed worried about Xiao Shuxiang, but staying there might be troublesome for the charming young man.


!!!


A loud thumping sound was heard when Xiao Shuxiang's foot stepped on a tree due to the attack of the opponent. Fortunately, he was still able to hold it until he did not hit this tree hard.


Elder Wang Jing Li throttled an attack and then turned his head for a moment towards Xiao Shuxiang, he spontaneously asked. "Hey, Son? Where's your clothes?"


"I let go," Xiao Shuxiang unhesitatingly replied. His facial expression was full of concentration.


"I didn't think you were any different," Elder Wang Jing Li said, "When I thought you were a spoiled 'Young Master', a hobby of dressing up and having a body as gentle as knowing."


"What?!" Xiao Shuxiang was shocked. He spontaneously turned his head, yet Elder Wang Jing Li had already darted back and exchanged attacks with Chu Gu Xiang's embodied monster.


Xiao Shuxiang blinked a few times, recalling the large-bodied man's words and snorted. He exclaimed, "Who is a hobby of dressing up?! Haaiy... As expected, wavy hair makes me look like a man in a brothel."


Xiao Shuxiang suddenly felt a pulse of pain in his head, "This is all because of Ling Qin Qi and his friends. They're annoying girls, no one's following in the footsteps of my pure-sacred White Cat."


"While..." Xiao Shuxiang's breathing was heavy, he felt the need to address this rather personal matter after things returned safe. He darted and teamed up with Elder Wang Jing Li.


Xiao Shuxiang actually did not look like the young man in the brothel just because of the look of his hair. It was just that, since Xiao Shuxiang often stopped by such places-then 'cordillions' were the ones he remembered the first time.


To others, seeing Xiao Shuxiang was akin to witnessing the beauty of a heavenly being coming out of a painting. Even if under conditions that were only lit by the sparks of battle and the streams of Qi were clashing against each other.


Elder Wang Jing Li blasted a fierce attack and was received by the huge snake. The force exploded and produced a loud sound accompanied by a large spark.


Xiao Shuxiang felt the ground tremble, yet he did not waste time. He saw there was a gap in the opponent and directly attacked by wearing a strong fist.


The big snake head was struck by Xiao Shuxiang's punch and then got another attack from Elder Wang Jing Li that sent him bouncing very far away.


Xiao Shuxiang spat out blood. He began to feel his body ache and this meaning-of-fight had to be resolved immediately.


Without a cue, Elder Wang Jing Li and Xiao Shuxiang darted back. They would not let the opponent prepare, let alone counterattack.

"Is there not a single person still alive?" Elder Xie Yanran asked and was shaken by Zhang Xiao Lian who was nearby.


Elder Xie Yanran and the others were currently examining one by one the members of the Demon Valley Sect who had previously committed suicide. This is actually a very unfortunate thing, even though life is so precious.


Elder Jiao Feng was seen sighing heavily, he shook his head slowly. His right hand gently stretched out to close the eyes of one of the Demon Valley Sect members who was lying lifeless before him.


Lan Guan Zhi and Liu Wei Lin were also seen doing the same.


On the other hand, Ling Qing Zhu appeared to be standing in his Guardian Protective clothes that had been neatly folded in hand. His sword had been saved back and he was actually very surprised to see the situation in this place.


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


It no longer needed to say how the condition of the building of the Cloud Sea Sect, everything was completely messy. Nothing good can be seen at this distance or close.


Elder Jing Shang Yu carefully laid down the corpse of a member of the Demon Valley Sect. He was helped by Lan Guan Zhi and Zhang Xiao Lian.


Liu Wei Lin was also about to lift a corpse when he sensed something. He looked up and was immediately surprised. Liu Wei Lin exclaimed as he jumped away.


"AWAS...!"


Elder Xie Yanran and Elder Jao Feng immediately took action due to Liu Wei Lin's exclamation. They managed to dodge for a moment before a huge snake struck the vast courtyard of the Cloud Sea Sect.


!!


Liu Wei Lin saw that the huge snake had quickly turned into the form of a beautiful girl dressed in purple-dark clothes, but was lying with severe injuries.


The girl coughed blood. The sword that was previously in his hand was thrown and was beside the body of a corpse of a member of the Demon Valley Sect.


The girl could not get up yet when a red lightning was seen in the air and seemed as if it was about to streak towards her. That lightning was none other than Elder Wang Jing Li with a powerful swing of the greatsword.


Chu Gu Xiang could neither dodge nor fend off the attack. He could not even move now and was confident that the attack would instantly finish him off.


!!!


The sound of explosions rang out and a strong wind was created. Elder Wang Jing Li was shocked when his attack almost killed an opponent and was now being held back by an alien force.


The scene unfolded very quickly and even Elder Xie Yanran and the others had yet to react. They saw a man dressed in black and appeared to embrace the badly injured girl.


Xiao Shuxiang who had just stepped on the ground saw him. The man looks about 38 years old with ink-black hair, looks charming and has an unusual aura.


Chu Gu Xiang in his hazy gaze, he still knew who the person who had come to save him was in those tense seconds. His lips twitched as he spoke, "............ Zhuan?"


"Stupid,"


That heavy voice was extremely cold and frightening as well. To Chu Gu Xiang, that one word was even more painful than the severe injuries he had sustained.


On the other hand, Elder Wang Jing Li coughed in blood and was only able to wake up. Only, he quickly used his greatsword to support the body. Xiao Shuxiang flinched when he saw the pale look on Elder Wang Jing Li's face when the big man was not hit by any attack.


But is that really true?
