HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
261 - Early Groove

"Tu-wait for me..!" Mo Huai exclaimed. He was panting heavily as it followed Wang Zhao and Feng Hao who kept darting. They sometimes set their feet on the branches of trees.


"God ... Why are you guys so fast," Mo Huai found it difficult to tread on the tree branch. He took a long time when jumping from one branch to another, let alone the trees in this place sometimes moving.


Wang Zhao opened his voice. "Mo Huai, you better wait for us here. The place we're going is very dangerous,"


"But I'm afraid to be alone,"


Wang Zhao was just about to speak again when a creeping root suddenly appeared. With a quick movement, he turned around and instantly saved Mo Huai who had almost been hit by the attack.


Feng Hao also moved along and started swinging his sword. The root was also cut off. On the other hand, Mo Huai was extremely shocked by what had just happened.


Wang Zhao stepped on the ground. Holding Mo Huai's arm, he said. "I don't want you to get hurt, let alone know that you're not very good at fighting. If you keep coming, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you."


"But I ..." Mo Huai bowed and in a somewhat sad voice, he said. "I know .... I just became a burden. But I don't want to be alone, I'm so scared. Ba-what if I-"


"Calm down, Young Master Mo." Feng Hao patted Mo Huai's shoulder and softly said, "I'll put up a protector for you. We'll be here soon when things are safe. Don't you ever be afraid, you'll be fine."


"That doesn't calm me down at all," Mo Huai wanted to say, yet he also couldn't possibly hold back these two comrades. He could hear the sounds of explosions which meant that there was a fierce fight right now. He can't be stubborn.


Mo Huai breathed slowly and looked at Feng Hao, "What ... Is your shield very strong?"


"Mn, you're really gonna be safe." Feng Hao assured. He also made a hand seal and spiritual energy surrounded Mo Huai.


Feng Hao said, "Don't step out of this circle of shields until we return. Nothing's gonna happen as long as you remember this, trust me."


Mo Huai nodded slowly, he did not try to persuade Wang Zhao and Feng Hao back. He was afraid of being left behind, but also did not want to trouble these two friends.


Mo Huai advised Wang Zhao and Feng Hao to be careful. The two young men nodded and then darted away. They left Mo Huai amongst these strange trees.


When his two friends were nowhere to be seen, Mo Huai began to gulp and circulate his gaze around. She's alone now and looks very nervous.


"........... Why did they leave me here?" Mo Huai held firmly onto his clothing cloth and gasped as the surrounding trees moved back. A wild root appeared on the ground and shot out, right at him.


!!


Mo Huai exclaimed, closed his eyes and closed his ears. He crouched down and looked very scared. Fortunately, the shield that Feng Hao made was so powerful that it could withstand these roots. Only, until when will the shield survive?


"I'm going to die, I'm going to die. It must be dead," Mo Huai nearly cried. He hoped that Wang Zhao and Feng Hao would return soon.


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


Unwittingly, not far from where Mo Huai was currently-seen were several pairs of feet that started treading on the ground.


Green mist appeared around the foot. The rain had subsided for some time and foreign figures began to emerge from the darkness. There was a horrifying grin in sight and the sharp gazes contained a great killing appetite.

Wang Zhao and Feng Hao sped up their steps. Both of them had a bad feeling about what was going on at Xiao Shuxiang's place.


!!


"The sound of the explosion was terrible," Feng Hao gave a bad expression. "It is inconceivable that no one died,"


"I really hope that mister Xiao and the others are okay."


Feng Hao nodded. He naturally did not want the person he knew to be in an injured state. Even though the sound of the powerful explosion made him a little doubtful.


Some of the roots creeping back shot out and attacked Wang Zhao as well as Feng Hao. The two young men brandished their swords and slashed at the roots. The cooperation of the two looked very good, it didn't even take long until they arrived at Xiao Shuxiang's place now.


Wang Zhao and Feng Hao were surprised instead of playing while watching what was before them. The Xiang Yu Temple was gone and it was precisely a terrifying sight to be seen.


Wang Zhao gave a pale expression, his stomach ached and he wanted to vomit watching this scene. His heart was pounding from remembering a similar incident. He had seen something like this kind of sea of corpses and until now was traumatized by it.


"..............." Feng Hao just felt his kiss being interrupted. He lowered his head and saw that his feet were stepping on a black-reddish puddle of water. Anyone knew that the water was already mixed with the blood of the corpses.


Feng Hao was just about to speak when he heard a loud shriek. He got goosebumps because the sound was so heartbreaking.


Wang Zhao also heard the same thing. He tried to hold back, trying not to reminisce about some bad pasts. He was about to dart out to find out what exactly happened when something shot up and hit the ground before him.


!!


A person is seen using his knees and sword as a restraint so that his body does not collapse. Wang Zhao was surprised to find out that that person was Xiao Shuxiang.


"Young Master Xiao?" Feng Hao was surprised, he also saw it. Xiao Shuxiang's clothes looked different and it seemed like the young man was in a drenched state.


Water droplets were visible on the end of Xiao Shuxiang's hair, and even other droplets poured down his neck. He was actually very charming if the water did not look like blood.


"Master Xiao-!!" Wang Zhao was just about to call Xiao Shuxiang when a scorpion-like tail shot out with such a swift movement.


Xiao Shuxiang gnashed his teeth and again lunged at the attack from Gui Hong Yi. He did not hear any sounds from Feng Hao and Wang Zhao as he focused on finishing off his opponent.


The beginning of the fight Xiao Shuxiang had already drained a lot of energy and if he wanted to honestly-win in the face of two ghost figures was a very difficult thing to do.


Although the name of the practice level in the Upper Cultivation Realm with the Lower Cultivation Realm was the same, but the level of strength was very different. It can even reach twice as much as usual.


Xiao Shuxiang could not read the cultivation practices of Gui Xiao nor Gui Hong Yi. However there were certain times where he could sometimes read the practices of these two opponents.


While fighting fiercely earlier and successfully defeating Gui Xiao, the Laughing-Xiao Ghost Shuxiang saw that the man's practice was at the Yellow Gold stage Master Foundation Level. Though he felt that he was fighting a cultivator of the Grand Master level.


This difference in strength was so far away and so terrifying. If a mere Foundation Master level cultivator could be this strong, then what would it be like if he fought a Grand Master?!


!!


Not only was Xiao Shuxiang shocked, but his opponent also felt so. Gui Hong Yi himself did not expect that there was a young man who could defeat Gui Xiao, let alone the practice of this young man was only at the level of Forging Qi.


Really, if anyone wanted to be called a monster-actually it was Xiao Shuxiang himself.


"No," Gui Hong Yi growled furiously, "The strong one is not this young man .... But the heirloom sword in his hand was..!"


Gui Hong Yi did not accept his desperate condition, "The sword .... I believe that sword is the Sky Heirloom that has been sought. It's not wrong anymore..!"


"Truly in vain..!" Gui Hong Yi exclaimed as he wagged his tail. He stared intently at Xiao Shuxiang and then said, "What a great sword is there in the hands of someone like you? You are not even able to bring out his true strength! Very frustrating!"


"..............." Xiao Shuxiang looked at Gui Hong Yi and calmly said, "So you know this? What ... You want to have it?"


!!


Gui Hong Yi was shocked when he saw a smile from his opponent. He was startled when Xiao Shuxiang stretched out his sword and even threw the weapon into the air.


Gui Hong Yi's gaze followed the sword that Xiao Shuxiang had thrown. The scorpion snake monster was about to grab the weapon when Xiao Shuxiang shot away.


The White Jade Flute came out and was in Xiao Shuxiang's right hand, at the same time - a Moving Mirror was formed and the young man darted into it.


Wang Zhao and Feng Hao were surprised to see another mirror appear, right at that tail Gui Hong Yi and Xiao Shuxiang darted out with a full Aura of Assassins.


!!


A red glint appeared in an instant and blocked Feng Hao's gaze, he spontaneously extended an arm to cover his gaze. At that moment also a loud sound like a mountain explosion was heard. Only Wang Zhao could see what was happening.


"Technical of the attack ..." Wang Zhao froze with widened eyes. He saw things he should never have seen.
