HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
307 - Meeting (5)

The one who was still timid even though he was already very strong was probably the Crazy Beggar Boy. The man walked alone while tightly hugging his bamboo cane. Even he was not at all calm despite being accompanied by a butterfly belonging to Xiao Shuxiang.

"I'm really scared, I'm so scared." the voice of the Mad Beggar Boy trembled, "Why should I be in this place and alone? Wouldn't it be better for me to be with Lan'Er Gege?"

The Mad Beggar Boy scratched his non-itchy head and sighed, "Why can I forget. Lan'Er Gege should be with me, why would I let her be with that cute and alluring guy? B-what if Lan'Er Gege and Hu Li-!!"

The Crazy-faced Beggar Boy paled as a strange and indecent shadow appeared on his head. He shook his head and tried to erase the shadow.

"No, it's impossible. My Lan'Er Gege cannot be such a person. Semanis and as charming as anything Hu Li's face was, she would be unlikely to be affected. Lan'Er Gege wasn't the man of the same age, but ..."

The Mad Beggar Boy bit his fingernails and blinked a few times, "Hu Li is a Snow Fox Demonic Beast, right? Xiao Shuxiang also once said that she could be a woman. I believe Lan'Er Gege is a normal man, but in front of that Demonic Beast charm .... Anyone would be affected,"

The Mad Beggar Boy's mind had gone everywhere. He was just about to turn around and go to Lan Guan Zhi's place when the ground he was treading shook.

The Mad Beggar Boy gasped and spontaneously looked up, his expression turning serious. "This is not my real fight ... But let's look at the situation first,"

The Mad Beggar Boy began to catch his breath. He used an Air Breathing Technique that was able to make himself run fast.

His bamboo stick swung and he used it to attack the living corpses in sight. He even preceded the Xiao Shuxiang butterfly with his incredible speed.

This should no longer be a problem for people like him, the Mad Beggar Boy knew himself about it and hence he always held back the power.

He was also trying to withdraw from a world that was still concerned with the position of being the strongest. He had absolutely no interest in reaching the pinnacle of glory because it was the past for him.

Right now, he just wanted to enjoy life. Have fun as he always did while faithfully watching the life journey of Xiao Shuxiang.

To be honest the Mad Beggar Boy was interested in that dazzling figure. Xiao Shuxiang had an unusual identity and his title as the Destroying Star was so famous.

Not to mention the fact that the young man had already experienced many reincarnations and his true identity was even more shocking.

The journey of Xiao Shuxiang's life was interesting to follow, even the Crazy Beggar Boy experienced many new things because of that young man. Problems do come and always go hand in hand, but the sky seems to have unexpected plans and even Xiao Shuxiang solved them admirably.

The Mad Beggar Boy wanted to see how far Xiao Shuxiang had progressed and was curious about the final action that the young man would take. But of course, he must not interfere too much in this fate outlined by the heavens.

The Mad Beggar Boy saw that there was a ladder in front of him, he unhesitatingly retraced and then ran up the stairs. He was the first to find the stairs to climb up and became one step closer towards the Black Lotus Palace.

Xiao Shuxiang is seen kicking one of the corpses and then stabbing the creature in the back with his sword.

He darted and used his right hand to capture the heads of the other corpses and smashed the monster against the wall before stabbing it. His actions turned the corpse into bones.

Xiao Shuxiang's white-winged butterfly flew back and illuminated every path the dazzling young man walked. Xiao Shuxiang sped up his pace and he saw the winding road.

There was a staircase before Xiao Shuxiang and a giggling sound was heard. He also held his sword firmly and looked like a monster with a thin body.

The creature in front of Xiao Shuxiang looked like a woman, she was a monster that walked with her hands and feet. The terrible thing about it is that the creature's head is upside down and he has teeth that are like those of a wild animal.

Xiao Shuxiang said without a tone, "Can you talk?"

The creature giggled back and then opened its mouth wide. There were many needles that shot out from the corpse's mouth and made Xiao Shuxiang flinch.

With a single flick of a hand, a Moving Mirror quickly formed in the air and the needles shot into it. Another Moving Mirror was formed, just above the creature and a burst of needles came out of it.

Xiao Shuxiang reversed the opponent's attack and his actions were on target. He did not wait for the monster and shot back with Yinng xiong in his right hand.

Once attacked, Xiao Shuxiang stabbed the back of the corpse and then darted up the stairs. He was not looking to amuse himself with internal organs at the moment, to be honest he would rather play with the internal organs of a living human than a corpse.

Just about to think of the move he was going to make next-foot Xiao Shuxiang suddenly stepped on the fragile ground and he was mired into it.

!!

The white-winged butterflies also came down following their master. Xiao Shuxiang used his spiritual energy and controlled his feet to tread with a proper position.

He exhaled and looked up before starting to circulate his gaze. He didn't know this place and this wasn't the place he was.

Xiao Shuxiang clucked irritably and was seen cursing. He was about to dart back up when he heard a strange sound that made his forehead shrivel.

This is not the sound of the undead, but rather is called the sound of a chain. He blinked and decided to find out the origin of this voice.

Xiao Shuxiang walked in accompanied by his butterfly. The longer he walked, the more he heard the voice. He gasped when he saw a big door not far in front of him.

He was sure it was indeed a door because his three insects flew first and illuminated the place. He swung his sword and an attack shot towards the door, causing it to explode.

Xiao Shuxiang stepped up and did not last long until another voice sounded. He frowned and as he walked into the room-hot air instantly filled his body.

He was inside a large stone cave, seen a lake filled with flames with a stone platform in the middle. Hot lava liquid seemed to ripple, rumble and seemed ready to melt anyone into nothing.

There were six pillars on top of the wooden platform, there was a chain connected to the pillar and the end of the chain was tied to both hands and feet of a person.

Xiao Shuxiang took a step to get closer. The heat around it is not a problem at all. Even his facial expression did not change much. He continued walking and stopped when he almost arrived at the end of the lava lake.

A lady. The figure who was being chained was a woman who had no idea what was wrong. Xiao Shuxiang watched him carefully and like he had seen this person somewhere.

A memory started to cross Xiao Shuxiang's head and made him realize, this figure he saw was one of the Demon Valley Sect members who had once sought trouble in the Cloud Sea Sect, Chu Gu Xiang.

"Hmph, I thought he was dead." Xiao Shuxiang watched Chu Gu Xiang from a distance. The woman seemed to be unconscious, most likely she did not even hear the sound of an explosion from the door that was hit by Yinng xiong's attack earlier.

There was a chain wrapped around his wrists and feet until it looked a scar of red-blackish marks and even still shed fresh blood.

The skin of his feet and thighs so white is now filled with deep lash marks. Some parts even made his skin torn apart to the bone from Chu Gu Xiang.

Don't ask about the girl's knee, Xiao Shuxiang had even subconsciously held his breath when he found out that Chu Gu Xiang's knee had already been shattered somehow due to what torment.

No need to explain how the condition of the upper body of the girl, Xiao Shuxiang turned his face for a moment with both hands firmly clenched.

Chu Gu Xiang's back was also filled with traces of lashes. The girl's face was pale and there were deep scars on her right cheek.

His lips were dry and the sweat that poured out all over his body further added to the pain of these wounds, not to mention the heat that was able to penetrate the bones. The only hope right now might be death alone.

Although it was no longer flogged, it did not mean that Chu Gu Xiang's pain had subsided. Both of his knees were crushed and he was forced to stand by these hot chains. He even had trouble opening his eyes.

Xiao Shuxiang took a breath and expressionlessly began to stomp his feet. He floated up and landed right on the ground of the stone platform, where Chu Gu Xiang was.

The girl who was actually beautiful was still alive, only in a condition that could be said to be 'dying'. Chu Gu Xiang's eyelashes trembled as they opened, he did not know but felt a sudden chill coming before him.

Chu Gu Xiang's eyes opened, behind the blurry vision ... He could still see that there was a person standing in front of him. It's just that this isn't some crazy monster who whips him to his satisfaction every day.

"It's very sad ..."

That heavy and toneless voice sounded. Chu Gu Xiang's forehead frowned and his eyes were still blurry. He could not hear clearly, yet he knew this talking figure was a male.

"I was looking for a way to the top, wanting to go to the Black Taratai Palace, but instead fell and ended up here. I even have to meet you. Should I call this my bad luck or your luck?"

"Cn ... Who ...?" the longer hearing this man's voice made Chu Gu Xiang feel extremely familiar. He felt like he had heard it somewhere.

Chu Gu Xiang closed his eyes before vomiting blood. His eyes gradually became clear and when he could actually see again-He was so shocked to see the figure in front of him.

"You-You ..."

"Right, it's me. Wh why? Just seen the first handsome guy?"

Chu Gu Xiang felt a pain in his chest. If only he was in his usual condition, then he would definitely be cursing at this young man.

It was just that things were different, he was too tired to argue with this annoying young man. To be honest, he only wanted to be freed from this unbearable pain.

"You're not asking why I'm here?" Xiao Shuxiang opened his voice because the girl in front of him did not speak anymore.

Chu Gu Xiang coughed in blood, he was seen refraining from shouting out loud. If he was awake like this, then the pain in his entire body became many times over.

"You don't seem to be able to say much," Xiao Shuxiang crossed his arms and then smiled, "Is it really painful?"

"You want to try it?" Chu Gu Xiang stared intently at the young man before him before spewing blood back.

Xiao Shuxiang snorted, "I don't like being in your position, but I'm glad to see you're in so much pain. What I want to say yeah ... Uh! Is correct. You may already feel what you've done to someone else,"

Xiao Shuxiang circulated his gaze around and then smiled. He said, "Karma does exist. If you do not get it when you make a mistake, you will definitely get it in the future. I'm not surprised at all that you're getting to a point like this and I think what you're getting is pretty decent,"

Chu Gu Xiang's lips trembled as they opened. His voice was weak, yet he tried to speak. He looked at the young man in front of him and said, "Oh ... It's really good. Do you want to repay me too? How ... If you just do it and finish me now."

"And make you free from the pain and suffering you feel?" Xiao Shuxiang blinked and innocently said, "Beautiful Miss. I'm not that good. You ... Stay here and just enjoy every second of your breath-"

Xiao Shuxiang was about to sneer at Chu Gu Xiang when a slap came from behind his body. Luckily he realized this and immediately turned around with a powerful swing of the sword.

The attack from Xiao Shuxiang's weapon clashed violently with that powerful strike. Explosions in the air were created and provoked the lava lake until some began to strongly gush out.

Xiao Shuxiang took out his Moving Mirror to suck out the lava spray that was about to hit him. He looked towards the previous opponent and took out another mirror.

Xiao Shuxiang's opponent was a female-shaped undead with one of his legs facing backwards. The creature was creepy with red eyes and sharp teeth.

In the creature's hands was a whip that continued to be firmly held. The monster swiped its teeth until it heard a deafening sound.

Xiao Shuxiang asked Chu Gu Xiang without turning his head towards the girl, he said. "Is that hot woman who hurt you?"

Sexy? A monster whose abdominal organs are sticking out and whose chest is filled with bones is said to be sexy? Are the eyes of this young man already myopic?!

If only Chu Gu Xiang could speak more, then surely Xiao Shuxiang would have already received much swearing from him. It's a pity that he's not capable of doing it in these conditions.

Chu Gu Xiang regurgitated blood again and this was already the answer for Xiao Shuxiang. The young man also saw the female monster darting while swinging his whip.

A slap was heard, at the same time the chain on Chu Gu Xiang's hand was cut off and made the girl groan in pain.

Xiao Shuxiang swung his sword and attacked one of the chains on the pillar, he caught the hot object and swung it like a whip.

A clash occurred between the two weapons, but it was Xiao Shuxiang who excelled as he also took out the Moving Mirror, right behind his opponent's body.

Xiao Shuxiang blasted his sword into the other mirror and the attack appeared right behind the female monster's body causing it to be thrown forward.

Without delay, Xiao Shuxiang brushed the chain he was holding and wrapped around the body of the female monster. He also made her fall into a river filled with lava.

!!!

Next was a violent lava explosion and destroyed the entire stone platform including its six pillars. The figures of Xiao Shuxiang and Chu Gu Xiang were not even visible anymore.
