HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
327 - Unempowerment

The battle that was bothering Xiao Shuxiang right now came from Wang Zhao who was facing Qiao Nuan fiercely. Xiao Shuxiang's friend was in a tense state.


Wang Zhao's body almost hit a large pillar if his legs were not strong enough to support his weight. He was stupefied, but his eyes were sharp as he looked towards the woman before him.


Qiao Nuan glared furiously, "It seems like I'm being too soft on you. You can break free with ... Well, of course. It's impossible without getting hurt,"


When Qiao Nuan finished speaking, Wang Zhao vomited blood and felt pain in his chest.


Qiao Nuan rubbed the soft scar on his cheek and said, "You look so handsome when you get hurt. I can't wait to do more to you~"


"What you're doing is wrong. You were only used by him. Are you gonna keep wagging your tail at him? He didn't even care about anyone in this place. He only cares about himself-"


"Then what about you?" Qiao Nuan interrupted, a sinister voice as he said. "You are the same. Have you forgotten how many people died just because of you? You and your selfishness are what makes the situation what it is today."


Qiao Nuan stepped closer, "Think of this carefully. The present state would not have happened if you had died then. What did you come to this place for? Take revenge, huh? All you do is kill for your own purposes. Look, even the blood of the palace guards hasn't dried up on your blade."


Wang Zhao gasped at the words of the woman before him. His breathing was still not normal, yet he tried to remain calm while continuing to be alert.


Wang Zhao tried to do some self-defense, but his voice trembled.


"I ... I don't-"


"You didn't kill the guards?" Qiao Nuan interrupted, he crossed his arms and said. "Wang Zhao, you don't have to pretend to be innocent. You may not have killed them, but they died because of you. You're the one who brought those people here under the pretext of helping you, right? Now it looks like they are fighting for you. They kill just for you. Then what am I doing? This place was fine before you all came, is this my fault?"


Wang Zhao bit his lower lip. He couldn't go against the remark of this woman because it was true. Things wouldn't have been this complicated if he and his friends hadn't come.


Wang Zhao was very kind, the young man was not even aware with a thin smile full of stratagems from Qiao Nuan. That woman has a unique and obviously dangerous provoking ability.


Qiao Nuan's eyes stared straight at him, as if he was staring at Wang Zhao but was actually watching the wall behind him which began to give rise to pointed-tipped stones.


In a split second, the stone shot towards Wang Zhao's blind spot. Qiao Nuan felt that this attack would work, but who would have thought his opponent would just move quickly and slash the stone into pieces.


Wang Zhao stared intently at Qiao Nuan and said, "I had a chance to think that this was my fault. But a second ago I realized that this thing I did was not entirely wrong. This place wasn't okay at all, even before I came."


Wang Zhao unsheathed his sword and said, "You and also the guards of this palace have already made the existing citizens suffer. You have without a doubt killed those who supported me all this time. There really isn't anything good as long as you're in power,"


"Then do you think everything will change when you come?" Qiao Nuan laughed softly, "Wang Zhao. All the people who supported you have long since become bones, all that remains now are those who desperately want your death. You this ... It's been too long gone,"


"You lied!" Wang Zhao held his sword firmly and said, "Qiao Nuan. Do you think I'll easily believe what you say? You're clearly a big liar!"


"Ha ha ha, it's up to you. I never forced you to believe my every word." Qiao Nuan sighed and said, "Xuan Zhao'Er ... You came here just to look like you're a criminal. Ah ... Is correct. You're a criminal. The reason why you and your family end up miserable is the result of your own actions. You're not welcome in this sect at all, try to realize that."


"If only ... All I see is a line of happy smiles from them ... I will definitely never come back. And if only ... You don't throw tantrums at other people's sects, then I definitely won't show any face in this place again. You ... Your presence brings badness to many and I have come to stop it!"


"Hmph, then come here if you can!" Qiao Nuan waved and the pointy rocks shot back towards Wang Zhao.


!!!


Qiao Nuan's attacks were strong as well as wild. Wang Zhao must not be careless or he will just die. The young man continued to dodge Qiao Nuan's attacks and occasionally deflected them.


Wang Zhao's Silent Slash sword technique could not be used carelessly. It was an amazingly great technique, but had a time lag each time it would do so.


Wang Zhao couldn't get too hopeful on his extremely powerful technique, hence he used up all the understanding of the sword he had learned from Xiao Shuxiang and Elder Chen Duan Shan.


Wang Zhao was a disciple of the Dao Elder Fang An in the Cloud Sea Sect, but as before-Elder Dao Fang An had more directed him to practice about the Heart Demon Cleansing, Soul Control Sutra, so on, and everything related to inner understanding. The elder and Fang An rarely taught him how to fight or use a sword.


In the Thousand Swords Palace, Wang Zhao was not only in the shade of Elder Xie Yanran, but also the other elders including Elder Chen Duan Shan. From here he was taught to be able to focus more on practicing fighting techniques and even to the point of being called 'disciples'. He trained very hard.


Wang Zhao not only repelled Qiao Nuan's attack, but also surprisingly aimed the attack at his opponent.


Qiao Nuan gasped as some pointy rocks shot towards him. He waved his hand and the stones shattered into pieces. He stared intently at Wang Zhao.


Among his fallen teeth, Qiao Nuan said. "I really want to kill you, but death is too good for someone like you."


!!!


The huge pillar was until it cracked in part because it was hit by Wang Zhao. Qiao Nuan saw his opponent coughed in blood and had a face so pale.


Wang Zhao's gaze was somewhat blurry, fresh blood was pouring down on the side of his forehead and he felt a great pain on the inside of his body. Wang Zhao was sure there was a crack on his spine at this moment.


"Xuan Zhao'Er ... Show me your other painful face again. You're really very handsome!" Qiao Nuan laughed and again attacked Wang Zhao. He was nimble and then started kicking his opponent's chin.


Wang Zhao bounced back and this time hit the floor. His right hand continued to hold his sword, but indeed he had no condition where he could counterattack.


Qiao Nuan was too fast, his high practice could easily make Wang Zhao like a toy. The woman beat her opponent, kicked him and threw him against the wall. He simply did not kill Wang Zhao quickly.


!!


Wang Zhao cried out in pain as his right hand was stepped on violently. Not only that, the opponent even kicked him in the face until he was thrown and fell with his back hitting the floor.


Qiao Nuan stomped on Wang Zhao's chest and saw the young man spew out a mouthful of blood. He smiled, "Seriously. I love seeing your face like this. Feels ... So it's very much like eating you,"


Wang Zhao stared intently at the woman who stepped on his chest before starting to groan in pain as Qiao Nuan's incision grew louder and as if he was about to break his bones.


"Aren't you supposed to be happy?" Qiao Nuan said softly, "From below ... You can enjoy my pretty legs~ Don't the guys like it so much, hm?"


"You!" Wang Zhao tried hard to get rid of Qiao Nuan's legs. He held onto the woman's ankle, but instead the pace of his opponent became more and more.


Qiao Nuan rubbed the scar on his cheek and said in a toneless manner, "Begging me. It's possible, I could be a little soft to let you go."


"No way!"


"Mc ... All right, then I have no choice." Qiao Nuan grinned and slightly glanced at a wall from hearing such a loud noise from earlier.


A pointed-tipped stone was re-formed, but this time it was smaller and resembled a spear. The stone shot out and was captured easily by Qiao Nuan.


The woman with the scar on her cheek said, "Chu Gu Xiang seems to be impatient. What if I take you out and watch your comrades die. But of course, I have to make sure you can't fight."


Wang Zhao tried to rebel, but could not. Moreover, this woman even gave off a murderous aura that was so concentrated that it made her spit out blood for the umpteenth time.


Qiao Nuan raised the weapon in his right hand and without warning directly pierced Wang Zhao's wrist. He made the young man cry out in pain and he had absolutely no regrets about doing so.


"You're no match for me. I didn't even sweat when I was fighting you. You're too weak, Wang Zhao." Qiao Nuan flatly expressed and said, "You should have prepared yourself more. Coming like this is the same as a rabbit going into a lion's mouth. So stupid.."


Qiao Nuan pulled back the weapon in his hand, lifted it up to then thrust into Wang Zhao's other wrist.


Qiao Nuan did it over and over again. Wang Zhao was obviously in a lot of pain, but the young man could do nothing.


It was almost that Wang Zhao lost hope and decided to give up when a silhouette came, attacking Qiao Nuan without any warning at all.


!!!


Qiao Nuan was about to hit the wall, but fortunately his feet quickly held back the weight until he was completely unharmed. His expression was solemn as he looked straight ahead.


There was someone standing in front of him, as if protecting Wang Zhao. Qiao Nuan looked at the fluttering of white clothes on the figure that had just bothered him.


Behind the blurry vision, Wang Zhao still recognized the posture of this figure who helped him. Moreover, from the voice he heard - these figures increasingly made him convinced.


Qiao Nuan gnashed his teeth, "Basic of bullies. How dare you show up in front of me again,"


"Why not dare? Do I owe you?"


It was a woman's voice, sounding rather lazy but containing a plunge. This was the voice of the Jing Cheng Peak Mountain Elder, Meng Hao Niang.
