HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
61 - A Person Who Cannot Be Oppressed

The incident lasted a split second and the impact was like a lightning strike inside the chest for the young maid.


He was greatly shocked when his powerful dagger-wielding right hand was held back by the figure that should have been the target of his attack.


"What are you doing? Could it be that the heat of the sun is driving you crazy or that there are side effects from the air inside this forest? Huh, or maybe it's because of my wise words that you can't accept?"


!!


The voice he heard clearly belonged to Xiao Shuxiang. The young man held his wrist firmly and seemed to speak calmly. This made him even more afraid because of his actions that he had realized.


Xiao Shuxiang was honestly shocked by the surprise attack addressed to him. He watched and saw the look on the face of this young servant who was very frightened.


"I can't bear to hit you" Xiao Shuxiang grabbed the servant's dagger and released the grip of his hand.


Merely, when the servant was detached from Xiao Shuxiang-she again attacked. This time he used a fist and a kick. The exchange of attacks lasted very short, even Xiao Shuxiang only needed two moves to subdue his opponent.


"You seriously want to attack me?" Xiao Shuxiang pressed the young servant on the ground. He had yet to make a sound when a sharp red flash of light slashed through the air violently like lightning striking.


!!


Xiao Shuxiang spontaneously reacted. He pulled the young servant who was pressed to the ground to avoid the flash from that flash of light. If it were not to quickly dodge, it was likely that Xiao Shuxiang's body would instantly split in two.


The young servant was similarly shocked. If only he hadn't been pulled by Xiao Shuxiang-whether what would have happened.


"I'm sorry.." the bellow sounded. He apologized to Xiao Shuxiang for hurting him.


"A servant like me should follow orders. I really don't want to do it,"


Xiao Shuxiang looked at the young man he was embracing. He said nothing and focused on looking ahead. A flash of red light again slashed through the air and pointed at him.


!!


Xiao Shuxiang dodged back and this time carried the young servant beside him. He stepped on a tree branch and began to see three red-clothed women walking quietly.


"They gave you orders, right?" Xiao Shuxiang finally asked. His voice is low.


The young maid nodded slowly. He was actually surprised instead of playing when carried like this by Xiao Shuxiang. But he could do nothing to avoid the attack.


"That's great. Only a servant was at the 5th level of Forging Qi, but was already able to dodge my whip attack. I praise you,"


Xiao Shuxiang watched the red-clothed woman. He jumped down and treaded smoothly on the ground. His voice was half whispering, "You're getting out of this place."


The young servant began to be sent down. He looked at Xiao Shuxiang and then ran away. He knew that staying here would only be a burden.


One of the red-clothed women who saw him did not let the young maid off. He drew his sword and launched a huge attack.


Xiao Shuxiang gathered Qi at the fingertips of his left hand and only a light jolt until a lesion immediately repelled the woman's attack to the point of not hitting the young maid.


!!


What Xiao Shuxiang did was extremely shocking. He instantly caught the attention of the three red-clothed women before him.


Xiao Shuxiang said seriously, "Why do you want to attack the person who has followed your orders? Don't like it if there's an eyewitness, huh?"


"He's useless, that's all."


Xiao Shuxiang did not know these three women, but it was clear they had come to look for trouble.


Xiao Shuxiang's. "If I remember any more, I never offended these beautiful ladies. So what makes you guys so eager to bully me?"


"I don't need your sweet word, Xiao Shuxiang. We came here to teach you how to behave in front of the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect primarily with the senior disciples,"


There are no pleasantries. A fierce fight instantly occurred even without a long time. Xiao Shuxiang himself focused on dodging the attack addressed to him. He only occasionally fended off attacks if he did not have time to dodge.


One of the women was named Ye Qin Jiu. He was a disciple that Yan Tianhen was familiar with even admiring the man. So upon knowing that the figure he so admired was humiliated by a servant-of course he did not remain silent.


"You won't be able to continue dodging this attack...!"


"Who will avoid it?" Xiao Shuxiang knew the opponent attacked him seriously. He did not play games in every step of his foot.


Xiao Shuxiang used the Wind Breathing Technique and used flying leaves as weapons. He skipped some to make the three red-clothed women a hassle.


The opponent's unreadable practice made Xiao Shuxiang extremely cautious with the incoming attacks. He knew if any part of his body was hit by a single strike - it would result in severe injuries. Especially in this case, his body regeneration was very slow.


Xiao Shuxiang provoked the opponent by saying, "Does this have anything to do with that person named Yan Tianhe? I remember he was the only student looking for trouble with me,"


"How dare a waitress like you say her name without any respect. He was a senior disciple in this place...!"


Xiao Shuxiang snorted. "Yan Tianhen is your senior, not my senior. I've never paid any respect to anyone,"


"Xiao Shuxiang...!!"


Ye Qin Jiu and his two comrades were inflamed. They launched such a huge attack as if they wanted to chop down the young man who was their opponent.


Xiao Shuxiang did not use any weapons other than the leaves that were blown away by the wind. The leaves move quickly and are very sharp, even able to scrape the trunk of the tree deep enough.


The Qi in this place was extremely dense and Xiao Shuxiang was a cultivator who could use Qi directly in nature without the need to gather it first in his dantian.


Although his current strength was sealed and made his practice drop to the 5th level of Forging Qi, yet Xiao Shuxiang was not at all overwhelmed against an opponent like Ye Qin Jiu. There is still a limit to what he can do.


!!


"Damn it," a look of shock appeared on Ye Qin Jiu's face, "That's not a move from a novice cultivator."


"He was like a person who had fought many times," Ye Qin Jiu's colleague spat out blood as the attack that should have hit the opponent was instead made to turn against him.


"It's even worse" another woman said, "The way I fended off my attacks proves that she's a fighter."


Ye Qin Jiu snorted, "While judging from his appearance-He was like 'Pampered Young Master'. Hmph, it turns out that he does have the ability,"


Despite exchanging opinions with his two colleagues, Ye Qin Jiu's concentration never diminished. The three women put on their best abilities in the next attack.


Xiao Shuxiang replied to the attack with all his might which made himself surprised instead of playing. Ye Qin Jiu and his two comrades bounced very far away even the tree trunk they hit one by one fell, it was not enough to hold the body of the three.


!!


Xiao Shuxiang retraced on the ground and subconsciously held his breath. His mouth opened as if he could not believe what he had just done.


"My practice is clearly at Forging Qi level 5. How could I... Am I really that strong?" Xiao Shuxiang had trouble swallowing his saliva.


Xiao Shuxiang looked pale, "Ga-gawat if the three of them died. I'm definitely gonna be in big trouble,"


Considering that made him panic. Xiao Shuxiang immediately darted as fast as possible to check on the condition of the three women, but his clear mind suddenly returned.


Xiao Shuxiang stopped his steps, "Wait. Why should I be this sweet? They're the ones looking for trouble with me first. Those who started it first, I just defended myself. If I'm not as strong as I can fight, I'll die."


Xiao Shuxiang knew that the fight earlier as well as the final attack could provoke some attention. "Some people from the Cloud Sea Sect were most likely on their way here. If anyone sees me... That's gonna be a problem, though,"


Without wasting much time, Xiao Shuxiang turned around and stepped away. His facial expression was like he had no regrets at all, "It would be good if those three people lost their lives, I certainly would not be blamed. And even if they live once, I can still handle it. Let's just say today I'm having no taste for dirtying my hands with blood,"
