HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
437 - The Unexpected (2)

Xiao Shuxiang though was worried about his current condition, but he was still trying to be clear-minded. His tone was serious when he said, "You think I'll easily trust you-"


"You think I'm gonna trust you easily?"


!!


Xiao Shuxiang was shocked. Wang Zhao interrupted his words with the same words. His eyes widened as he asked, "You... What might-"


"Can you read minds?" Wang Zhao interrupted back. He crossed his arms and said, "It's a pity that it's not. But it is very easy to read your own mind,"


!!!


Wang Zhao shook his head softly, "I appreciate you previously pretending to be trapped. Unfortunately because I know... You're just getting into your own trap."


While circulating his gaze around, Wang Zhao again opened his voice. He said, "It's been a long time... I've forgotten my 20-something face this year."


Getting a sharp glance from the young man in front of him felt like a shock in Xiao Shuxiang's heart. "What the fuck is this really? That's saying..."


Xiao Shuxiang growled, "Stop pretending like you are me. The Devil of the Heart cannot come out from within, let alone have a form like you."


"I already knew you were going to say it," Wang Zhao looked at his palm and tonelessly said, "You didn't admit this either... No problem at all. In the end... That body will be mine."


!!!


Wang Zhao could see shock at this chain-bound charming young man. He said, "Didn't I say that this body has to be replaced once over a number of years. But of course if I go back to my own body... Then the story will be different."


"Wang Zhao, you-"


"Wang Zhao? I have held back for a long time to use that name. Really sick of me,"


The sound turned cold. Wang Zhao looked at Xiao Shuxiang and the color of his eyes turned black. It was a completely empty eye with no eyeballs or anything.


"Because separated... We don't have the same memories in life this time. But you shouldn't forget... How I so badly want to ravage this continent. Nothing is more important than bringing the world to ruin."


Xiao Shuxiang heard the voice as if it was inside his own head. The tone of this voice felt heavy, much more mature and he actually recognized it. This was the voice of himself, the figure of 39-year-old Xiao Shuxiang.


Both of Xiao Shuxiang's hands clenched firmly, he growled and then stared intently at the young man before him. He said in a cold tone.


"I believe it now," Xiao Shuxiang firmly said. "Collapse of the world was my wish in the past, but I already knew that it was not the right choice. We don't have the same memories in this life so you don't know what kind of truth I've seen,"


"No problem. I'll find out when I take your body. Of course we will fight a little for who is the controller of this body, but the winner is clearly determined."


Xiao Shuxiang turned his face away. He dodged the hand of the figure before him before staring intently at this young man. He coldly said, "You are just an imperfect force. How dare you play around with this Your Majesty,"


"Give up, you can't do anything anyway."


!!!


Xiao Shuxiang gasped as the circle of seals under his feet glowed red. He could not struggle in his mind because this man could read it. He actually wanted to buy time, but saw the current state.... He's really in a bad situation.


"There's no need to be too tense," Wang Zhao stood behind Xiao Shuxiang and tonelessly said, "This will only hurt a little. When finalized... The plan you and I have been wanting for a long time will come true,"


"I warned you. You are just an imperfect force and you are just a heart demon. Just try, you won't win."


"Hmph, the difference between you and me right now is... I can find information about you and your life, while you don't. You didn't even know that this subject was reincarnated within the black-eyed demon clan."


!!!


Xiao Shuxiang spontaneously turned his head and immediately looked at Wang Zhao. His facial expression was extremely cold, even looking very eager to chop up the figure standing behind him right now.


Wang Zhao said, "The other difference between you and me is that you were born with a defect in your dantian, you live in the region with the worst Qi density on the continent, and you too must live with those hypocrites. You only carry memories from the past, while I carry my grudges and hatred for those humans. This is the greatest power you can't handle,"


!!


Xiao Shuxiang's wrist was bleeding as he tried to untie the rope and the chain that bound him. This condition cannot be allowed, he must not end up being controlled by the demons of his own heart.


This kind of thing should never happen. The possibility that a creature such as a heart demon could have its own real form is impossible, he said, Xiao Shuxiang wanted to reject him - but considering he himself was not fully human and had experienced more than ten times the then-reincarnation


Xiao Shuxiang bit his lower lip. He was shocked when the circle seal under his feet began to exert pressure. The situation would be terrible if he could not handle it. Great chaos was really about to occur and not only the eastern continent alone, his adoptive family that existed elsewhere could be in danger.


The problem was, Xiao Shuxiang could not think of a way to buy time because this person knew the contents of his mind. On the other hand, his good friend did not notice the moment Wang Zhao took himself away so there was no way Lan Guan Zhi knew the location right now.


"Well, that's also one of the reasons why your situation is so sad." Wang Zhao interrupted and started touching Xiao Shuxiang's back. The light on the seal circle under his feet began to move and an ancient carving-shaped spiritual energy began to form in the air.


The carving quickly rose to Xiao Shuxiang's feet until it spread throughout his body. Black spiritual energy burst into Wang Zhao's hands and entered Xiao Shuxiang's body when a streak of white light came.


!!!


A surprise attack occurred and Wang Zhao who did not expect this was hit by the attack until his body hit the wall hard. Someone stepped on the ground with a wave of his white clothes.


Xiao Shuxiang looked extremely pale. Although only a little bit of black spiritual energy entered his body, but the pain was not something that could be withstood. Because of that sudden attack and made the spiritual energy cut off... Xiao Shuxiang became spewing out a lump of blood.


In his breathless breath, the grimacing Xiao Shuxiang tried to see who was coming. On the other hand, Wang Zhao who was now standing was looking intently at the figure who had messed up his plan and was surprised to recognize this person.


Xiao Shuxiang widened his eyes. He muttered to mention someone standing in front of him right now.


"White Cat...?"


!!!


The person standing before Xiao Shuxiang right now was his White Cat, a figure that was none other than Ling Qing Zhu himself. A subject of undisputed beauty. Ling Qing Zhu was described as a beauty capable of making a phoenix with supreme arrogance forget her way of flying into the sky and the girl was standing in front of Xiao Shuxiang right now.


"White cat, what are you doing here-!" Xiao Shuxiang was startled when suddenly Ling Qing Zhu stuck a sword blade right at his neck. He froze and became very tense.


"I need an explanation about your father-in-law," Ling Qing Zhu's voice coldly. His words made Xiao Shuxiang recall what he had done.


"White Cat... That's..." Xiao Shuxiang grimaced. He felt a pain in his neck as a result of being scratched by this girl's sword blade.


Xiao Shuxiang looked at Ling Qing Zhu in horror and said, "Do you want to kill me here?! You-"


"You're making me feel very guilty," Ling Qing Zhu interrupted and made Xiao Shuxiang come back in shock.


"I'm mad at you" Ling Qing Zhu opened his voice again before distancing his sword and at the same time a huge attack came.


Without looking at the opponent or the slash of the attack - Ling Qing Zhu turned his sword and destroyed the circle of the seal. The red light burst out and clashed with the incoming attack.


Wang Zhao was surprised, his gaze dark as it held in anger. He did not expect that this girl could damage his artificial seal circle and even use the impact from the damage of the seal to withstand his attacks.


Ling Qing Zhu unhesitatingly slashed the chain that bound Xiao Shuxiang's hand, yet he was shocked when the chain could not be broken. He stared at his Guardian Protector and the young man seemed to know the meaning of the look in his eyes.


Xiao Shuxiang said, "It can't be decided in the usual way. Rather than that, I was surprised that you could get here. How'd you find me?"


"............... Lan Xiao," Ling Qing Zhu opened his voice and unsheathed the sword towards Wang Zhao. He then said, "I'll find a way to take that chain off.... While facing it."


"White cat, you can't. He's-"


"Miss Ling Qing Zhu," Wang Zhao interrupted Xiao Shuxiang's remark and coldly said. "It's none of your business, so you better go. I don't like to dirty my hands by killing a weak girl like you,"


Xiao Shuxiang's forehead twitched upon hearing that remark. He looked at Wang Zhao and angrily said, "My White Cat isn't that weak, asshole."


"Are you talking to yourself?" Wang Zhao quipped Xiao Shuxiang before turning his gaze back to the veiled girl before him. His right hand was then shrouded in black smoke which quickly solidified and formed a huge bladed sword.


"White cat, be careful." Xiao Shuxiang said softly, "Take a little time for me. I'll handle this right away and help you,"


Ling Qing Zhu turned his head for a moment before slightly lowering his eyes. He nodded slowly before staring coldly at Wang Zhao. Spiritual energy enveloped his heirloom sword and the next second he shot out.


!!!


Ling Qing Zhu's previous attack with the current one was equally large and used a lot of spiritual energy. However, it was also because of the massive attack that Wang Zhao was lacking in anticipation that the young man could be pushed back even until his body hit the wall creating a sizable hole.


Xiao Shuxiang was of course surprised because the attack just now was more of an ultimate attack. It was strong, but Ling Qing Zhu shouldn't use it now. It was like wasting a lot of spiritual energy and exertion, this did not benefit the white-haired girl at all.


"White Cat..!" Xiao Shuxiang could not prevent it because Ling Qing Zhu had already darted first and left him alone in this place. He's really worried.


"Geez, what's wrong with that girl?" Xiao Shuxiang panicked and attempted to remove the chains and ropes that bound him but his efforts remained in vain.


"Oh, shit." Xiao Shuxiang cursed. "He will not last long if he uses that much spiritual energy and energy. Especially in a place where his Qi density was less like this. Uhh! I really need to let go of this now, aish!"
