HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
388 - Sky Sword Sect (2)

The surprise attack from Xiao Shuxiang was of course impactful and even made Jade Liong growl with furious bulging eyes. The large-bodied man again lunged and the exchange of attacks with quick movements was inevitable.


Xiao Shuxiang did not use his immortal sword because he could have forgotten and accidentally killed his opponent. He also only took out the White Jade Flute to use to withstand the lunge of the Jade Liong great sword blade.


"You're really why are you after Rana Qisheng so much?" Xiao Shuxiang asked on the sidelines of his fight. He dodged the opponent's attacks and kicks and it frustrated Jade Liong.


"Damn it," Jade Liong cursed and then snapped, "For me to tell you?"


"So you're not gonna say it?"


"Hmph, it's not you who's posing a threat here. But me,"


!!


Xiao Shuxiang flinched, the opponent's technique instantly changed. He looked so focused that this stream of fighting did not drag him in the opponent's strategy.


To be honest he was curious about this muscular man's relationship with Rana Qisheng, but judging from his situation-his opponents would obviously not talk so easily.


Xiao Shuxiang's hand moved around his White Jade Flute and then the heirloom again clashed violently with Jade Liong's sword until a loud sound was heard, even from the impact - a shock was created.


Patriarch Lan Xu Jian himself could witness how fierce Xiao Shuxiang's fight was. It was just that there was something that made him slightly astonished, it was Xiao Shuxiang's unusual move.


Patriarch Lan Xu Jian knew the good friend of his younger brother and after many events in the past-it could be said he knew what kind of person Xiao Shuxiang was while facing his opponent. But what he saw now was truly unusual.


The Xiao Shuxiang he knew was a person who had wild fighting movements, such as flames or rushing water currents. Xiao Shuxiang was such a person. Even the core of the movement was a brutal speed like a savage beast.


Patriarch Lan Xu Jian was even well aware with this detail that while fighting-Xiao Shuxiang was at all with the opponent's attacks and would receive scratches while still crashing. The torn and blood-filled clothes were the thing that had always been characteristic when Xiao Shuxiang fought, but what happened to this?


The good friend of his sister was now fighting fiercely, but the movement of legs and hands when swinging weapons was more structured and calculating. There was not even a wasted movement like the usual Xiao Shuxiang. You could say, he saw a change in this charming young man.


Jade Liong growled furiously. The massive attack he had slammed down was completely useless and not even to the point of damaging anything around him. This was all because of the damn technique of the annoying young man before him.


"What style is she really wearing?!" Jade Liong was annoyed to the point that the veins stiffened on his forehead.


Every time he made a powerful attack, in that second also appeared a mirror as tall as an adult and the attack seemed to be sucked into it.


The other most annoying thing was, none of his attacks were able to scratch the opponent's body. Instead, he had already received many powerful punches and kicks.


It's so embarrassing. It was obviously so embarrassing considering his opponent looked so young. If he were to lose here, then this really slapped his pride.


"He's a tough opponent to face. Damnit. I've underestimated it," Jade Liong thought of changing his strategy. He took some distance and intended to use a secret weapon when something happened instantly.


A deafening flute sound suddenly rang out and made Jade Liong instantly drop the sword and scream in pain. His actions that took that distance were clearly worn by Xiao Shuxiang to play the White Jade Flute in his hand.


!!!


Jade Liong should have realized this. The opponent he faced earlier used a flute to fend off the swing of his heirloom sword. Things like this flute... Of course his function was not made to be a sword and because of his lack of precision-he was instead trapped himself.


An explosion was created, right in front of Jade Liong and making the man bounce until his back hit a building behind him. Due to the huge explosion and the difficulty it had avoided, Jade Liong suffered serious injuries and looked unconscious.


Xiao Shuxiang stopped his flute play and calmly slipped the thing on his waist belt. He walked over to check on the condition of the opponent lying on the ground with his eyes and mouth open.


"Hey, are you dead?" Xiao Shuxiang used his legs to shake Jade Liong's body. The lack of reaction made him blink and then crouch down.


"I'm holding back because Patriarch Lan wants you alive. Don't tell me this and you're dead" Xiao Shuxiang reached out and examined the pulse on Jade Liong's neck, he also checked the breathing of this muscular man and then became relieved because the opponent was not gone.


"Xiao 'Er..!"


Xiao Shuxiang turned his head and saw Patriarch Lan Xu Jian approaching him. The older brother of his best friend was sweating, probably because he worked hard to help the townspeople.


"Patriarch, this man is now yours. So where are you taking him?" Xiao Shuxiang opened his voice.


"The Sky Sword Sect is still in trouble. Go over there and let me take care of the rest here,"


"Mn, okay." Xiao Shuxiang darted and left Patriarch Lan Xu Jian with Jade Liong.


"..................." Patriarch Lan Xu Jian actually had many questions for Xiao Shuxiang. The young man had really changed a lot and even when he saw him fighting even-he no longer saw the feisty Xiao Shuxiang to look like a blood-crazy person.


Even the former Xiao Shuxiang had only attacked without a care the surrounding conditions were severely damaged, but now... It feels so different. It was as if the current Xiao Shuxiang was not only thinking about himself, but was also starting to think about others.


"Different... He now looks like someone new,"

In the Sky Sword Sect, Feng Jiayi was seen spewing blood. He had received countless attacks from his opponent, the young man who had a cold and annoying facial expression for never even wanting to make a sound.


"Damn. Don't you even want to say your name, huh?!" Feng Jiayi shouted, "Are you actually mute!?"


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


Feng Ying did not give any response and instead returned to attack. He again exchanged attacks and in five moves he did-he finally managed to slash the opponent's thigh before separating the opponent's head with his body.


!!!


Chief Feng Jiayi bounced and rolled quite a long distance before finally stopping between the legs of the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples. Feng Jiayi's body then fell down right after Feng Ying cleaned her blade by rubbing it on the sleeve of her clothes.


The incident where Feng Jiayi's head was rolling was really like a blow in the hearts of the disciples of the Sky Sword Sect. They were amazingly surprised by what happened.


Ying Tao who was currently seen piercing one of the senior disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect and nearly slashing the other disciple appeared to be glaring sharply. He saw his comrade's head rolling and was surprised instead of playing.


"You..!!" Ying Tao shouted, he was just about to lung at Feng Ying when suddenly the attack of a disciple of the Heaven Sword Sect hit his back. Ying Tao fell to the ground without being able to move.


On the other hand, the Lightning Lion Demonic Beast that had already made a lot of commotion was seen being resisted by Lan Guan Zhi. That Demonic Beast was truly powerful, even Lan Guan Zhi was bothered by it.


The young man who was Xiao Shuxiang's good friend even had to be helped by Ling Qing Zhu to deal with a Demonic Beast. Their battle was not the same as when Feng Ying finished off this one lightning lion in a single strike.


The difference is in the way they attack. Feng Ying had previously made a surprise attack until the Demonic Beast had no time to react and was eventually killed. While Lan Guan Zhi's current position was not so.


Although it was quite difficult, it did not take long until the results of Lan Guan Zhi's cooperation with Ling Qing Zhu were seen. They managed to wound this Demonic Beast and made it fall helpless.


On the other hand, Patriarch Yu Chang Hai had long since crippled his opponent and the other Lightning Lion Demonic Beasts had been defeated. He did not kill his opponent nor finish off the Lightning Lion.


Neither Patriarch Yu Chang Hai, nor Lan Guan Zhi and Ling Qing Zhu had their opponents killed. Even the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect before had done the same. This was why the fight felt so difficult and time-consuming.


The moment Xiao Shuxiang came, he gasped when he saw the chaotic surrounding conditions. He had even witnessed some disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect being killed with slash wounds on their bodies.


"His protective seal was even tampered with..." Xiao Shuxiang was completely inexhaustible with those people. They came for Rana Qisheng, but did such a destructive thing.


Xiao Shuxiang walked over, trying to examine every single body of the Heaven Sword Sect disciples as it was possible that there might still be some among them who could be saved.


As Xiao Shuxiang walked, he heard a strange sound and it didn't take long for him to know. Xiao Shuxiang was surprised to see a cub of the moon tiger among the rubble of the building.


"Lan Xiao's..!" Xiao Shuxiang hurried over and slowly picked up the cat-sized moon tiger and carried it. He felt scared for a moment, but thank God that Lan Xiao was still breathing and even started to open her eyes while still a bit weak.


"It's okay. I'm here now... You will now be fine," Xiao Shuxiang brought Lan Xiao and a few disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect over to him.


"Young Master Xiao"


The Sky Sword Sect disciple was panting heavily, there was a wound on his arm as well as his temple. He attempted to speak, "Well, how is Lan Xiao? There too, many people need help."


Even though he was injured, the Heaven Sword Sect disciple was more concerned with the safety of others than himself.


Xiao Shuxiang said, "Lan Xiao is fine. He's really very strong. Take me to your brothers' place,"


"Okay, please get through here."


Xiao Shuxiang followed the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples before him. His face was calm, but his eyes were clearly sharp as if he was holding back anger.
