HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
345 - Groove Change

Chu Gu Xiang was surprised not to play. He was about to extend a hand and attempt to stop Xiao Shuxiang's footsteps when he came to a realization of what had happened to the back of his hand.

The skin on Chu Gu Xiang's hand turned bruised and began to look rotting. The pain suddenly spread throughout his body and it didn't take long for his sight to darken.

Xiao Shuxiang did not turn around at all to look at Chu Gu Xiang's current condition. Yet he understood very well what was happening, right behind his back.

Xiao Shuxiang smiled, that woman's body must have become a lump of meat by now. He was really a bit late because he didn't even let the woman say a few words towards the end of his history.

But did Xiao Shuxiang feel guilty? Hmph, of course not. He had not been able to find Chu Gu Xiang's kindness capable of making him feel guilty for what he did.

It was precisely Chu Gu Xiang who should be grateful for being able to die under the best sword blade ever. Honestly speaking, not many people wanted Xiao Shuxiang to finish off by using Yinng xiong. He would rather kill directly without an intermediate sword like this.

A fierce battle was still going on and one of the places that made a huge impact was the war involving Elder Zhang Shan.

The cultivator who was one of the elders of the Thousand Sword Palace was originally attacked by five members of the Demon Valley Sect from various directions.

He could fend off the attack easily, even being able to provide a counterattack. But when all five of his opponents were close to being seriously injured - someone suddenly came and saved his opponents.

Elder Zhang Shan was still expression calm. There was a long red-haired woman standing behind him. He also heard a clear voice from the figure.

"Isn't it not right to draw a sword on a handsome man?"

Elder Zhang Shan poured spiritual energy into his sword. From the voice he heard, this figure was not a stranger. He recognized.

The long red-haired woman turned around, her clothes and strands of hair were waving in the wind. The dense Killer aura enveloped the beautiful woman with that small mole on her lower lip.

Although Elder Zhang Shan's expression did not change, but the look in his eyes clearly proved that he was shocked. The figure of the woman before him right now was one of the members of the Demon Valley Sect named Mei Chanzi.

"No-Miss May ..." A member of the Demon Valley Sect seemed to be pressing against his chest. He also looked surprised and among the pain he was going through - there was fear at the sight of this woman.

Those five Demon Valley Sect members had no problem when facing Elder Zhang Shan, this was because they did not know the man very well. Moreover, they knew very well that cultivators like Elder Zhang Shan who came from the White Stream would never be able to do the thing that Mei Chanzi had done.

Behind the beautiful face of that woman, there was a character as bad as a demon. Mei Chanzi was already very famous as a scary figure because of her habit of brutally attacking opponents and then eating their hearts. Cultivators from the White Stream were clearly impossible to do the same.

"So handsome~" Mei Chanzi stroked her hair softly and stared intently at the figure of Elder Zhang Shan. He said, "I've seen your painting, it turns out you're much more handsome than the one that's got the painting~"

"................" Elder Zhang Shan did not speak. His silence made the opponent even more interested in him.

"Interesting, very interesting~" Mei Chanzi used a hand gesture to expel the five members of the Demon Valley Sect. Those who noticed the gesture rushed away with pain.

"Chairman Zhang Shan, let me tell you one thing." Mei Chanzi took a slow bite on her index finger and said, "You don't deserve to wear a sword. You're more deserving of being my husband~"

"How darn..!"

!!

Elder Zhang Shan gasped at a cry. He turned his head and a man immediately stepped on the ground, right beside him. This figure was none other than Elder Xiao Mang of the Chu Xun Sect.

Elder Xiao Mang unsheathed his greatsword and stared fiercely at Mei Chanzi. She said, "A presumptuous and shameless woman like you looks so low right now. How dare you insult an Elder Zhang Shan, so presumptuous!"

Mei Chanzi's smile faded due to the presence of a figure she did not want. He looked at the man from the Chu Xun Sect and said coldly, "How dare you interrupt when I'm talking..!"

!!!

A flutter of hands from Mei Chanzi instantly created an attack with a fierce might. The attack directly hit Elder Xiao Mang who surprisingly made the man's body charred and become ashes instantly.

Elder Zhang Shan himself was late to move to fend it off. He was of course shocked because Mei Chanzi so easily took the life of a sect elder, without even blinking.

"Nah~ now there are no more distractions," Mei Chanzi smiled again and then took a step closer, she noticed the man before her and started to toy with her hair.

"Chairman Zhang Shan, what if you're mine?"

"................" Elder Zhang Shan was trying to hold back his emotions. He said without a tone, "I feel it's inappropriate to be juxtaposed with Miss Mei."

"Mm~ did Elder Zhang Shan just reject me?" Mei Chanzi's gaze changed slightly. He snorted and then began to chuckle, "How is this ...? I've never been rejected by anyone before. Elder Zhang Shan, come on. Nothing to lose to you~"

Mei Chanzi said, "I will definitely take good care of you and if you can satisfy me, I might not eat you."

"No, thank you."

"Tsk, so you prefer coercion?" Mei Chanzi's fingers began to be enveloped by a strange blackish thin smoke. The woman voiced somewhat sadly, "I can at least bear to attack a handsome man. But since Elder Zhang Shan is forcing, what can I do? Ah ... I promise I won't hurt your face."

!!!

Thin blackish smoke suddenly shot out without warning from the back of Elder Zhang Shan. The white-clothed man could hardly avoid it because he was too wary of Mei Chanzi's hand movements, even though the attack that came was actually related to the woman's eyes.

"Jeez~ I was very surprised," Mei Chanzi smiled, "Chairman Zhang Shan has a quick movement. It's very interesting,"

"................" Elder Zhang Shan did not say anything. He stepped on the ground and appeared to be holding his sword firmly.

Elder Zhang Shan closed his eyes for a moment before looking back at the woman who was his opponent. Apparently, the clothes on his right waist are now red. This proves that he had been hit by an attack from the enemy and that is not a good sign.

The back attack came from behind the back of his opponent and this time the man he was facing also launched a huge attack.

The fight broke out, but it was Elder Zhang Shan who looked desperate. On the other hand, the Demon Valley Sect members who were as high as Mei Chanzi began to intervene.

The presence of the members of the Demon Valley Sect who were at this high cultivation level had changed the course of the war that was previously almost under the control of the Alliance of Cultivators.

With their present existence, the war plot was now siding in the hands of the members of the Demon Valley Sect. Not to mention, the help from the members of the Ghost Valley Sect made things even more difficult for the cultivators who were part of the alliance.

Not only was Elder Xiao Mang killed surprisingly without being able to resist, but also an elder from another sect. They underestimated the opponent to the point of having the worst death.

!!!

"Awas ...!"

The cries of the cultivators from the white flow sect made some cultivators able to dodge the stray attacks coming from the sky. They were all in an already exhausted state from continuing to fight.

"Damn it, who attacked so wildly? Does he not see us here?!"

"Indeed he didn't see you, did he?"

"Don't protest a lot, get away from there-"

"Dodge!!"

!!!

A light slash came and instantly exploded as it hit the ground. There were many fallen trees and buildings that were badly damaged due to the stray attack. Not to mention that some cultivators were seen to be injured for not expecting the attack to lead to them.

The fight that caused such conditions came from where Liu Wei Lin was. Originally, he and Lan Guan Zhi were looking for Wang Zhao's whereabouts. But they were instead attacked by the other members of the Demon Valley Sect until they had to end up fighting fiercely like this.

On the other hand, the members of the Demon Valley Sect who had already surrendered to the war that had occurred seemed to still be inside the protective circle belonging to Lan Guan Zhi. They waited with a very uneasy feeling.

Wang Zhao himself was still chasing someone until he got further and further away from the location his friends were. He was in the forest where the trees were dead.

He had previously lost track of the figure, yet he followed his premonition and was finally able to return to find the target he was chasing. It was just that despite having exclaimed a few times, the figure was still unwilling to stop.

Although Wang Zhao was trying to chase after that person, yet he could not stop thinking about the state of Hu Li who was fighting with Liam Jiao Shu.

"Young Master Hu Li, please be patient in a moment ..."

A flash of light suddenly came from the front as Wang Zhao was worrying about Hu Li. His eyes widened as the attack approached.

!!!

An incredible explosive sound was created and even burned the forest where the trees were dead. The explosion even created a puff of smoke and ground vibrations that could be felt by the warriors in the courtyard of the Black Lotus Palace.

Xiao Shuxiang who had just walked out of his Moving Mirror also seemed to flinch. He looked up and saw a fiery cloud appear in the sky. It was quite far away, but he was sure it was indeed a fiery cloud.

"................" Xiao Shuxiang circled his gaze around and saw that there were a lot of damage as well as corpses that were scattered. He stared at the scroll in his hand before finally deciding to act a little further.

Xiao Shuxiang's sword slowly began to be enveloped in black smoke and turned into a White Jade Flute. He hasn't used this best weapon for quite as long.

The scroll in Xiao Shuxiang's hand disappeared and the young man began to play a few tones. At first the sound of the flute sounded beautiful, but it suddenly turned even louder and piercing.

Xiao Shuxiang did not play a song that had been heard before. It's a very different rhythm. This tone of voice sounded like coercion and contained a frightening nuance.

The atmosphere suddenly changed when Xiao Shuxiang's eye color became red. The thin wind that formed chains surrounded the young man's body and wrist before a sound like two broken iron.

Xiao Shuxiang's robe suddenly fluttered powerfully and the spirit of a fire phoenix streaked through the sky. The loud sound accompanied by a high tone and quickly created an extraordinarily frightening atmosphere.

Black shadows began to look and seem to come out of the ground. The shadow formed human figures that then darted into every corpse body lying on the ground. In an instant, the body parts of the corpse began to move.

!!!

A cultivator from the Demon Valley Sect who was currently fighting against two people from the white flow sect looked surprised instead of playing. He and his two opponents widened their eyes as they watched the corpses around them begin to wake up in an extraordinarily terrifying state.

"W-what happened?!"

!!!

The color of Xiao Shuxiang's clothes turned into his proud black robe. The sound of the flute is increasingly piercing and creates an increasingly gripping atmosphere.

The bodies began to stand. Some lost their organs and then took organs scattered on the ground, installing them like it was a part of their body that was lost.

There was a corpse that looked up at the sky with its mouth wide open before it began to show a smile that tore at its cheeks. They were actually dead and that was why the smile made anyone who saw it goosebumps.

!!

Spiritual energy that was like a wave of wind came and surrounded Xiao Shuxiang's body. The seal in the shape of a lotus flower on his forehead is now visible. It was the Mad Beggar Boy's Artificial Seal that started to react as the 12 Star Seal binding Xiao Shuxiang's strength was instantly severed all at once.

Even the Soul Restraint Seal which was a side effect of the Nine World Gate Seal that was already inside him also reacted. This was all because Xiao Shuxiang was now using the technique from one of the chapters that was in the Sun Killing Book Scroll, 'Spirit and Death'.
