HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
257 - Battle of Xiang Yu Temple

Lan Guan Zhi caught up with Xiao Shuxiang and followed the direction of his good friend's gaze. He saw that there were people standing in front of the temple with faces as pale as corpses and coffins visible around them.

The person standing up had thick eyebrows and big eyes, his lips were always smiling widely and letting out an eerie sound of laughter.

Lan Guan Zhi, "Shuxiang"

"White cat, what the fuck is with your clothes?"

?!

Lan Guan Zhi gasped as he was about to talk to Xiao Shuxiang, but his good friend turned around and instead invited Ling Qing Zhu to speak. Moreover, Xiao Shuxiang seemed to be concerned about the bridal clothes worn by Ling Qing Zhu.

"Don't tell me you and Liu Wei Lin are here to get married? You want to elope with her?" Xiao Shuxiang flinched and stared in disbelief at this white-haired girl. His facial expression was as if he had just caught his woman cheating.

Liu Wei Lin who heard that looked surprised. She did not wear a bridal outfit like Ling Qing Zhu, but still the color of her clothes was red and made of the best quality to be quite harmonious when juxtaposed with this white haired girl.

"White Cat, I just left you a few days and you've been looking for my replacement? You even married her?"

"Omong empty, there's nothing like it." Ling Qing Zhu replied calmly, he also said. "You will not be replaced. Now get away,"

Ling Qing Zhu walked over with eyes fixed on his enemy. He held his sword firmly, Baiyi.

"Brother," Liu Wei Lin opened his voice. "Did you hear what Miss Ling said just now? He's already claimed that for him you won't be replaced, so calm down. Her statement has left me no chance,"

"Tsk, who knows what your next plan is. You're a cunning fox," Xiao Shuxiang stared dislikefully at Liu Wei Lin and made the young man startled.

Liu Wei Lin shook his head slowly, "This handsome young man you call cunning? Oh, mercy. You're the first person to make me this painful accusation. I'm heartbroken,"

Ling Qing Zhu saw Liu Wei Li waving her fan. He stared at Xiao Shuxiang and said calmly, "How did you get here?"

"You're in danger. So how could I not come?"

Ling Qing Zhu blinked, while Liu Wei Lin appeared to snort. The young man with the red fan said, "You talk like that as if you have some inner contact with Miss Ling. Do you think we'll believe it?"

Ling Qing Zhu did not believe this either. He knew very well that his Guardians had conducted closed-door training, so it was unlikely that Xiao Shuxiang would be able to know he was here and even come at the right time.

Ling Qing Zhu's gaze then led to the figure of Lan Guan Zhi and he began to exhale, he already knew the truth.

Ling Qing Zhu voiced without a tone, "I'm so envious ... With how close your relationship is."

Xiao Shuxiang heard it and then frowned. He thought long enough about Ling Qing Zhu's words and then came to a realization. He gasped and began to explain, "You don't misunderstand me. Lan Zhi and I are not in such a relationship..! Really am. I'm a normal guy,"

Ling Qing Zhu, "What do you think I'm currently thinking? Did I accuse you of not being?"

"Th-that ...." Xiao Shuxiang scratched softly at his non-itchy cheeks. He was at a loss for words due to the speech from his White Cat figure.

Just now Xiao Shuxiang was about to open his voice when an attack came. It was fortunate that Lan Gua Zhi quickly diverted the attack until it only hit the trees.

Xiao Shuxiang turned towards the figure who had launched an attack just now and clucked in annoyance. "Don't you see I'm talking to my wife?! Can't you just shut up and let us talk for a second, huh?!"

Xiao Shuxiang stared at the man who was the figure of the Laughing Ghost, Gui Xiao. He cursed, "If only you were smart .... You should have left when I ignored you, but you didn't. You're waiting for your death in my hands,"

"Brother Xiao ..." Liu Wei Lin was stunned when he heard Xiao Shuxiang's words just now. He gasped because it turned out that this young man had deliberately ignored the enemy and talked to Ling Qing Zhu.

"I'm kind enough to let you go, but you didn't take advantage of the opportunity I gave you well. What a pity," Xiao Shuxiang stepped over while looking straight ahead.

A moving mirror as tall as an adult appeared along with Xiao Shuxiang who touched Ling Qing Zhu's shoulder. The young man said softly, "You did your best. Now let me handle the rest,"

Ling Qing Zhu looked at the young man beside him and asked, "What do you mean? You want me to go?"

"White Cat, do you think I didn't notice it? You ran out of energy and got hurt. Don't be stubborn and go,"

"............ I'm fine,"

Xiao Shuxiang patted Ling Qing Zhu's shoulder gently and said, "You are a strong girl. But it hurts ... If I have to see you get hurt,"

Ling Qing Zhu never knew that his Guardian Master could spout such words. Moreover, he saw for himself the thin smile that contained the sadness of this young man. He was thus unable to reply to Xiao Shuxiang's words anymore.

"Brother Liu, you've done well too. Get in the mirror and take care of my White Cat for a bit. Watch out if you take a chance from him," Xiao Shuxiang glanced towards Liu Wei Lin before unsheathing his White Jade Flute and lunged towards Gui Xiao.

Liu Wei Lin himself was of course jolted. He was just about to speak when his hand was suddenly grabbed by Ling Qing Zhu and pulled into the mirror.

Before actually entering the mirror, Ling Qing Zhu told about the whereabouts of the hostages inside the temple and asked Xiao Shuxiang to help them.

Meanwhile, the, Liu Wei Lin himself was surprised to be able to enter this thing and surprised him again was - he immediately arrived inside a room that was none other than Ling Qing Zhu's room in the Thousand Sword Palace.

The Moving Mirror that Liu Wei Lin and Ling Qing Zhu entered instantly turned into a grain of water and then disappeared. Lan Guan Zhi looked at him and then breathed slowly. He was now watching Xiao Shuxiang fight against Gui Xiao.

!!

Nothing seemed difficult for Guardian Protector Ling Qing Zhu's figure, even when Gui Xiao blasted a fierce attack-Xiao Shuxiang was able to withstand it.

On the other hand, Lan Guan Zhi took the opportunity of the fight to enter the temple. He knew full well that when Xiao Shuxiang fought, his good friend sometimes paid no attention to the impact of each attack.

"Don't expect you to come any closer..!" Gui Xiao laughed and rang the bell in his hand. He was aware of Lan Guan Zhi's movements and sent out several corpses to attack the young man.

Xiao Shuxiang used his Water Breathing Technique and attacked the corpses wanting to injure his good friend. It was just that the attack was too powerful that other than the corpses exploding and burning-Xiao Shuxiang also made the door of Xiang Yu temple shattered.

"A-Yuan, do what you have to do. Don't mind the others," Xiao Shuxiang darted and this time stuck his White Jade Flute on the edge of the lip.

Lan Guan Zhi muttered and asked Xiao Shuxiang to be careful. He immediately entered the temple. The white-clothed youth circulated his gaze and unsheathed the sword as he looked at the several bridal-clothed figures standing still.

Lan Guan Zhi's feet stepped up and it didn't take long until she realized something. He looked around and saw four women who were scared. Two of the women had wrinkled skin.

Lan Guan Zhi flinched and immediately sped up. He noticed the women's changes and realized that poisonous air was entering through the door of the temple that exploded. Almost all of these women died if only he had not rushed to make the seal.

The presence of Lan Guan Zhi himself inside the temple was shocking to those women. They were afraid, but when they saw the figure that saved them this-the fear quickly faded.

"Young Mrs ...?" one of the women made a sound, but with a trembling tone. He was just about to speak when he heard the cracking sound of the goddess statue.

Lan Guan Zhi directed his eyes and saw dozens of bridal statues that he believed were corpses, possibly deliberately made to stand for a purpose.

!?

Sure enough, the dozens of corpses of bridal-clothed women suddenly opened their eyes and immediately shot out while revealing faces full of blackish veins.

The four women who were in the seal protection of Lan Guan Zhi cried out in fear. The bodies they saw had long claws and large canines.

Lan Guan Zhi swung his sword. A long-range strike was one of his skills and he could deliver a precise punch to one of the corpses' heads. Lan Guan Zhi had his opponent's body thrown and then rolled into one corner of the room.

The other corpses pounced on the sound of roars and then charged towards Lan Guan Zhi quickly. At that moment, the fight was very fierce. It was just that Lan Guan Zhi had yet to come to a realization with the cracks on the goddess statue growing more and more.

"..............." Lan Guan Zhi's eyes changed and she stared outside. He heard the flute of his best friend and it was not the soothing sound of the flute.

The flute effect did not react much to the corpses that Lan Guan Zhi was facing, but it was still enough to make the movement of these corpses slow down. Lan Guan Zhi attacked them using the sword techniques he had learned.

"Young Master, Watch out..!" one of the women exclaimed as she saw the hand of the goddess statue move and quickly charged towards Lan Guan Zhi.

!!

The women were shocked, let alone the floor of the Xiang Yu temple until it exploded and even made a tremor. At the same time, a stray attack came and directly hit the roof of the temple.

Shouts were heard from the women, but it only lasted a few moments before stopping when they realized that none of them were hurt.

A point of water formed in the air and created a large mirror. Lan Guan Zhi who attacked the part of the collapsed roof began to ask the four women to go inside the mirror.

At first the women were hesitant, but they did it anyway. When there were no more living people to protect, even Lan Guan Zhi did not hold himself back.

Lan Guan Zhi took out a talisman paper and glided it towards the opponent. The paper exploded in the air and gave an opportunity for him to make his next attack.

On the other hand, Gui Xiao growled furiously as the musk he was fighting had somehow obliterated the corpses of his. In addition, he also had to endure the pain in his ears due to the discordant sound of this young man's flute.

Gui Xiao laughed and launched an even more devastating attack. Realizing that made Xiao Shuxiang exchange his White Qiok Flute for Yinng xiong and dart towards the enemy.

The impact of the attack was so fierce that it was difficult to resist and made the attack hit the trees and the ground.

"Ware..! The direction of the new attack..." Xiao Shuxiang was startled when he recalled that the attack earlier led to the place where Wang Zhao, Mo Huai, Hei Lian and Feng Hao were located.

!!!

Xiao Shuxiang heard the explosive sound so intense that his footing was forced to stop. He tightened his grip on Ying xiong and lunged at Gui Xiao.

Xiao Shuxiang was breathing slowly, he could feel another danger approaching. This figure must be overcome immediately before assistance from the enemy comes.

?!

Another explosion was created and made the roof of the Xiang Yu temple fall apart. Xiao Shuxiang gasped to see Lan Guan Zhi fighting an unusual enemy. It was a stone statue that was able to move and badly, there were other corpses that also joined and looked more ferocious.

Xiao Shuxiang tightly held onto his immortal sword and took a breath, this will not be easy.
