HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
37 - Ruckus (2)

"Young Master Xiao...!" Hu Li exclaimed back, but instantly something seemed to be thrown towards the side of his body and hit the ground. The people who witnessed it spontaneously retreated and mostly exclaimed in shock.


A cultivator in torn clothes and burning in some parts was the figure that was thrown just now. He was still alive, but his body condition was so alarming. Not to mention, his left cheek was like he had been clawed by a wild animal.


!!


The four cultivators were also thrown and hit the ground. Their situation was much worse even though none of them had lost their lives. Merely, the four cultivators had difficulty standing. Their bodies were painful and it was even difficult to simply catch their breath.


"Hey...! You okay?" a man approached to help one of the injured cultivators, but yet his body lowered-a sword darted and instantly slashed at his arm.


!!


A groan of pain instantly sounded and made a commotion re-occur. Hu Li responded late. This was because the sword was darting out very quickly. He turned his head and saw Xiao Shuxiang walking out of the smoke, some of which was still filled with fire.


"Young Master Xiao..."


Xiao Shuxiang was in good condition despite his dirty clothes and there were some parts of the fabric that were burnt and slightly torn. But the young man's face was still charming and did not look pathetic at all.


"If it wasn't for me wanting to live a life without excessive bloodshed, perhaps the current one that would be thrown out would be your internal organs." Xiao Shuxiang patted the dust on his shoulder. It was he who had snatched one of his opponent's swords and made a shock attack just now.


Xiao Shuxiang had indeed promised Ling Chu Zhen that he would reduce his brutal actions that liked to tear the stomach of opponents while fighting. He said he would try not to kill people in the most inhumane way. But of course applying this is not easy for people like him. Especially now, he was upset.


"Hu Li, come and kill them."


!!


Xiao Shuxiang gave an order that shocked Hu Li, Siu Yixin, including the people who heard it. The man whose arm Xiao Shuxiang had slashed earlier was surprised.


The blood was already no longer dripping, this was because he was using Qi to stop the bleeding on his slashed arm. It's just that the pain is still very much felt.


"Xiao Shuxiang, who do you think you are...?!" a cultivator who during the incident was just watching started to raise his voice. He was just about to curse at Xiao Shuxiang when something suddenly just shot up and injured his neck.


!!


The surprise attack hit the periphery of his neck until it bled and included hitting the two cultivators behind him. The incident just now made the atmosphere once again tense and frightening . They were all staring at the perpetrator of the attack who was none other than Xiao Shuxiang.


Hu Li also looked at his Young Master Xiao.


Xiao Shuxiang's countenance was cold with his sharp eyes. He was like a snake that was hissing dangerously, as if it wanted to immediately stick its fangs into the body of the creature he wanted to eat.


"You guys really don't know the place, how dare to get into my fight. You don't think I dare punch a hole in your neck, huh?"


Xiao Shuxiang held him back. Truly trying to restrain himself from taking the lives of a single person. He may sound threatening, but if increasingly provoked-his speech could be done right now.


Hu Li hurried over. He grabbed Xiao Shuxiang's arm and spoke softly, "Relax Young Master. Remember this place. We can't find trouble."


"But those first, Hu Li. Do you blame me too?"


"Then shut up and follow my orders. Replace me finish them off and do it quick."


"Young Master...! Don't be like this-"


"Hu Li, you dare to argue with me?"


!!


It was difficult for Hu Li to make Xiao Shuxiang change his decision. If his Young Master had already decided to take the lives of others, then no one would be able to stop him. Even to do that--it was he who had to intervene.


Siu Yixin noticed Hu Li's depressed look. He and that sweet-faced young man had previously fought against five cultivators. He made them hurt, but none of the two committed murder. 


Siu Yuxin and Hu Li were clearly well aware that those cultivators were the invited guests of the Upper Cultivation Realm. Killing them would cause a complicated problem. But it seemed that even though Xiao Shuxiang knew, he still wanted to take the lives of others.


Hu Li exhaled, he could not refuse the order from his Young Master Xiao. He only hoped that there would be among the people watching this draw a sword and stop him.


Nie Shang himself gasped as Hu Li walked over to one of the men lying covered in wounds and began to let out his Fox Flame. He was just about to exclaim to stop her when he got a cold gaze from Xiao Shuxiang.


Siu Yixin did not say anything and no one from the cultivators stopped Hu Li. The actions of Xiao Shuxiang who gave an unexpected attack just a moment ago were like they had silenced them.


Mo Huai himself noticed it. He was certain that Xiao Shuxiang's attack on the neck of one of the cultivators earlier was deliberately made to miss. This is clearly a warning. Xiao Shuxiang wanted them to know that he could still take the lives of others even though his current strength was being sealed.


Mo Huai circulated his gaze. He could see some people who looked strong and were clearly capable of being on par with Xiao Shuxiang. But somehow those people just shut up and become spectators, even though they could have reversed this situation.


!!


Hu Li shook his hands and simultaneously closed his eyes. He was unwilling to see the lives of these cultivators end up inside his flames.


Nie Shang gasped as he watched Hu Li completely burn the ten cultivators. None of them could escape and when this state of affairs continued, those cultivators would actually burn to death.


"Hu Li-!!"


The atmosphere around Nie Shang suddenly turned cold as he was just about to shout to ask Hu Li to stop with his ruthless actions. Immediately he witnessed a flash of light in the air that was currently beginning to reveal its form.


Cold air blew and made the fire belonging to Hu Li extinguish. Even the air seemed to treat the injuries suffered by the cultivators until they were not in a critical condition. All attention was immediately drawn to the purple-clothed figure hovering above them.


!!


Siu Yixin saw a beautiful woman with long hair and a jade-white skin. The woman's facial lines are very smooth, have clear eyes and an alluring gaze. For a moment, he and the people around him were like being in a vast meadow with a calming wind.


"......"


Xiao Shuxiang also looked at the woman. However his gaze was momentarily sidetracked by a cultivator who had just joined the crowd. The cultivator looked breathless, he also knew that the figure was the one who complained this mess to the beautiful woman floating above.
