HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
199 - Xiao Shuxiang (6)

The tree trunk that was around Xiao Shuxiang until it was scratched by the shock wind that came repeatedly and got stronger each time.

Xiao Shuxiang was forced to use a little of his strength to stop the movement of the wild Yinng xiong. As the seal was slightly opened, the color of his eyes began to change and the blackish thin veins that ran through his neck were visible.

The ground under Xiao Shuxiang's feet was eroded and the shock wind created was extremely pressing. Ying xiong was seen emitting a red light with a thin wind encircling it.

The sleeves of Xiao Shuxiang's clothes were slightly torn apart and so was the back of his hands. Even now, there was a slight scratch on his right cheek until fresh blood was seen pouring down.

Xiao Shuxiang did not loosen his grip at all. Instead, he gave off a black-gout aura and Yinng xiong absorbed it.

Slowly, the shock wind was getting more powerful out and until it made the pepohan which was seven meters from the place fell in a slashed condition.

The Mad Beggar Boy and the others had just arrived, yet they could not get close. Although they had previously been banned by Xiao Shuxiang, but still those cultivators had caught up here.

"Brother Xiao-!!" Yi Wen was just about to exclaim when the shock wind nearly injured her if Lan Guan Zhi did not immediately make a shield from the protective seal.

Coincidentally at the same time, Wang Zhao came from the other side and the young man was not alone. Wang Zhao was seen with Dao Elder Fang An and Elder Meng Hao Niang.

The shock wind also nearly injured Wang Zhao if he was not protected by these two elders. He was really surprised to see the condition of Xiao Shuxiang who was seen fighting hard to conquer Yinng xiong.

"What's really going on?" Elder Dao Fang An was just as surprised. He met Wang Zhao on the street while he was with Elder Meng Hao Niang.

On the other hand, Xiao Shuxiang was so focused with Yinng xiong. His hand had already shed a lot of blood and even his left hand that had been previously exposed to the poison was again injured. By the time Xiao Shuxiang was about to reach his limit, the pointed-tipped iron he was holding began to stop rebelling.

Xiao Shuxiang's blood seemed to be absorbed into the weapon and the smoke that had previously existed now began to fade. The shock wind that had been very dangerous began to gradually disappear.

?!

Xiao Shuxiang gasped as the poison in his left hand was also absorbed by Yinng xiong. Slowly, the purple-black color on the skin of his hands began to fade and return as usual.

Xiao Shuxiang's heart was still pounding violently due to this incident and was still seen breathing.

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

Lan Guan Zhi first approached his good friend. He touched Xiao Shuxiang's shoulder and called out back to her.

"Shuxiang"

"Don't touch. I'm fine," Xiao Shuxiang brushed off Lan Guan Zhi's hand and avoided looking at his good friend.

Lan Guan Zhi was of course shocked, yet he could see why Xiao Shuxiang was like this. He breathed slowly and immediately pulled his best friend to hide in his arms.

Xiao Shuxiang was surprised, it was now clear that his eyes were of different colors and there were even some blackish thin veins on his cheeks.

"Lan Zhi ...."

"It's okay. They don't see it. You can also close your eyes," Lan Guan Zhi's voice was as clear as water, her white, waxy screams outstretched. He patted his best friend's back gently with attention. Xiao Shuxiang was simply speechless about getting such treatment.

Lan Guan Zhi knew that Xiao Shuxiang did not want the changes to his eyes to be visible to anyone. This will certainly cause a lot of speculation and suspicion from many parties, especially for those who still do not know the true identity of Xiao Shuxiang.

All along, only Demonic Beasts whose eyes could change color. Even if there were cultivators who could do it, then that person was most likely a descendant of a Demonic Beast or a cultivator who had made a pact with the creature.

However, the devil is also one of the creatures whose eye color is able to change. He had eyes sharper than Demonic Beasts, more fearful and seemed to want to swallow anyone with just a single look.

If others found out, they might accuse their best friend. Lan Guan Zhi did not want if the events in the past were also experienced by his friend in this place.

Xiao Shuxiang did not want that to happen either. He tried to hide it and Lan Guan Zhi who also knew it immediately gave help. Xiao Shuxiang was honestly happy to have such a caring friend.

"Leon'Er .... Please stay quiet like this. Just one moment ...."

"............ Mn,"

"Master Xiao ....!" Wang Zhao rushed in after by Dao Elder Fang An and Elder Meng Hao Niang. They drew closer to the place where Xiao Shuxiang was.

"Brother Xiao ...!" Jian Yang and his other companions also did not remain silent. Even Liu Wei Lin rushed over. They all naturally wanted to check on Xiao Shuxiang's condition.

Lan Guan Zhi realized that and then helped Xiao Shuxiang stand up, of course he hid his good friend's face from being seen. He was still hugging Xiao Shuxiang.

"Lan'Er Gege, what's wrong with Shuxiang?" The Mad Beggar Boy was nervous because Lan Guan Zhi was like very protective of Xiao Shuxiang. He was worried that his Lan'Er Gege good friend was in a bad state.

"Young Master Lan, what happened to my Brother Xiao?" Yi Wen was also worried. He could not see Xiao Shuxiang's face at all, but from his brother-in-law's hands it was obvious that Xiao Shuxiang was in a wounded condition.

"Let me check on you," Elder Meng Hao Niang meant well. However Lan Guan Zhi politely rejected him.

Lan Guan Zhi said, "Shuxiang needs some time to calm down. It doesn't matter,"

"Son, but--"

"Lan'Er is right, Elder ...." Xiao Shuxiang interrupted with a slightly weakened tone of voice. He still hid his face and made his good friend's field chest as a body buffer. He said, "I .... Trying to catch your breath. This .... Just a minute,"

"Brother Xiao ...." Wang Zhao was breathing slowly. His face looks pale. He was obviously worried about Xiao Shuxiang at the moment, but the young man had already spoken and said it would take some time to be able to calm down again.

Xiao Shuxiang himself felt pain in his body, let alone his internal organs. But compared to before, this time he really has improved a bit.

Lan Guan Zhi himself was able to cover his good friend perfectly. He had a slightly larger body and was also taller than Xiao Shuxiang. So of course hiding his friend in an embrace like this is not a problem at all.

Elder Dao Fang An blinked and then turned his gaze to the Mad Beggar Boy. The appearance of the pride son of the Heavenly Light Valley Sect elder looked messy like he had just finished fighting. Elder Dao Fang An was convinced that this man had some involvement from the existing conditions.

"Shen Long, can you explain everything to me?" Elder Dao Fang An asked. His words made Liu Wei Lin, Jian Yang, Yan Tianhen and also Li Huanshou to be jolted.

The Mad Beggar Boy breathed slowly and then shook his head, "I don't know for sure. I was just helping him from that gun attack,"

Liu Wei Lin blinked when he was pointed at with an eye by the man named Shen Long. He coughed softly and began to open his fan.

Liu Wei Lin said, "Before .... I, Jian Yang and Li Huanshou are repairing Brother Xiao's sword. But when it finished reshaping the weapon .... Suddenly Brother Xiao's weapon attacked us."

Jian Yang nodded confirming, "That's right. Brother Xiao's weapon was like a craze, even badly containing poison. Though we are not at all good at concocting poison,"

"You guys fixed the gun without waiting for me?" Yan Tianhen asked and then clucked. He shook his head with crossed hands and then said, "You should wait for me to bring another material for the sword. If I had been there, it wouldn't have been possible for that weapon to attack you."

Liu Wen Lin gasped at hearing it and then snorted. He waved his fan and looked at Yan Tianhen. Liu Wei Lin sneered, "Huh. As if you could face that sword alone,"

"Are you underestimating me?"

"Obviously I'm teasing you. You've been talking a lot all along,"

Yan Tianhen took one step and looked at Liu Wei Lin. He said, "Listening you can say that seems like you've made trouble. I'm sure you must be the mastermind who fixed the sword."

Yan Tianhen sighed and shook his head slowly. He turned his gaze to Li Huanshou and Jian Yang. He said, "You two don't want to be ruled by this young man. He can mislead you-"

"Hey," Liu Wei Lin interrupted. "Brother Yan, you seem to have discovered again your old habits. Are you starting a fight with me?"

"of course. Who's not sick of seeing you,"

"Waa friends. You guys don't be like this, "Crazy Beggar Boy tried to break up because he was between Yan Tianhen and Liu Wei Lin. Somehow the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat tense between these two young men he saw.

The Mad Beggar Boy said, "You fellow students. It is not good for your own brother to fight, let alone see many people. Let's make up for each other~"

Yan Tianhen snorted, "I don't want to make up with a man who only knows how to wave his fan while reading a strange poem,"

"Brother Yan, you'll know what I can do with this thing if my fan has already severed one of your neck veins."

"I'm the one who's gonna kill you first"

"You fight like a child,"

Yan Tianhen flinched when he heard the voice of the young man interrupting his words. He turned around and knew that the owner of the voice was Xiao Shuxiang.

"Brother Xiao ...." Yi Wen was eager to lung and hug Xiao Shuxiang, but seeing the condition of his brother-in-law's hand-he was forced to lower his intentions.

Xiao Shuxiang's eye color had returned to normal as before and Lan Guan Zhi had also let go of her embrace. He tore off a bit of his clothes and then started to wrap them around his injured hand.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Elder Dao Fang An asked. He looked at Xiao Shuxiang's face which was still somewhat pale.

"Old Brother, thank you for worrying about me. I can now handle it," Xiao Shuxiang replied and began to weigh up the weapons in his hands.

"Is that yours?" Elder Meng Hao Niang noticed the weapon in Xiao Shuxiang's hand. This young man seemed to be thinking of something.

Xiao Shuxiang nodded softly, "This is my sword that has been broken before."

Xiao Shuxiang looked at Liu Wei Lin, Yan Tianhen and Li Huanshou. He then said thank you which actually made the three friends jolted.

Elder Meng Hao Niang again said, "The weapon in your hand now no longer looks like a sword. What are you gonna do?"

"That's easy. Just be forged into a sword as before,"

Elder Meng Hao Niang crossed his hands and snorted. He shook his head slowly, "If I were you .... I'm gonna throw that thing away and then find a better replacement,"

"Chairman Meng, my sword can't possibly be replaced just like that."

"Hmph, but it's not-!" Elder Meng Hao Niang gasped when Xiao Shuxiang suddenly just waltzed away at the moment he was just about to speak. In fact, Elder Dao Fang An and the others also gasped.

"Master Xiao ....!" Wang Zhao exclaimed and then caught up with Xiao Shuxiang. Yi Wen was also behind him.

Elder Meng Hao Niang clucked and shook his head slowly. He noticed Xiao Shuxiang's back getting further away and said, "Indeed, you little brat. Not polite at all,"

"Look at that, Old Bangka." Elder Meng Hao Niang turned his head towards Dao Fang An and said, "I was talking and that Delinquent Boy just left, without even saying goodbye. Hah, I wonder if he was born of a human or of a stone."

Elder Dao Fang An smiled bitterly, he exhaled and allowed Elder Meng Hao Niang to walk first. Elder Dao Fang An said, "That's why I think we are needed. He needs a lot of teaching about morality and so on,"

Elder Meng Hao Niang walked over and then said, "You are the one who will guide him in such matters. Because if I did, he'd probably be a Drunk Boy."
