Li Xiang the Immortal
69 - Return

Elsewhere, in the Patriarch's residence. After feeling an immense pain, Lin Hao finally stopped feeling that suffering. He sat down with his body leaning against the door of Li Xiang's room. His body was soaked with sweat. His breath was cut off. It felt like he was not strong to make any movements, even just to move his mouth he felt awkward. It feels so tired.

Even so, he felt his strength increase quite rapidly in just a few hours. The one he had originally reached the level of a 1-star general, was now a 5-star general, equivalent to the current strength of Xiao Xing Fu.

"S-actually..what did he... do to me?" Inner Lin Hao.

While thinking about it while adjusting his breath, Lin Hao heard the sound of footsteps inside the living room. "Who... who goes in? I should. check it out. But I'm not strong standing up."

The door of Li Xiang's room suddenly opened, which made Lin Hao slightly turn towards him.

"Hm. are they back?" Li Xiang muttered. He turned his head towards Lin Hao with his eyes still covered by the black cloth, "Oh! You're still alive. I had expected you wouldn't die just because of that" he smiled widely. "Maybe you'd better stay quiet here. I'll go see Xing Fu."

Li Xiang immediately left after saying so. Lin Hao himself could only stare at Li Xiang's departure.

"Xing.. Fu's.." When he reached the living room where Xiao Xing Fu and Bai Nuan were currently, Li Xiang became a little surprised when he saw the state of the two people in front of him.

Xiao Xing Fu had gotten an incision in his chest and stomach which was quite severe. Not to mention other scratches. At the corner of his lips was blood. Meanwhile, Bai Nuan had also gotten quite deep scratch wounds all over his body.

"What exactly happened?" Li Xiang approached the two.

"Uhuk.we are fighting many middle-level evil spirits. I also had time to fight high-level evil spirits." Xiao Xing Fu said with some difficulty.

"Tck, you better explain later. What about the flowers?"

"We got it, Nuan?" Xiao Xing Fu glanced at Bai Nuan, as if asking the girl to give the flower of hope in her hand to Li Xiang.

Bai Nuan did not respond. His head kept bowing with an empty look.

Xiao Xing Fu touched one shoulder with a confused and anxious expression, "Nuan?"

Bai Nuan glanced at the young man beside him slowly. He suddenly grabbed Xiao Xing Fu by the neck with one hand and directly pushed her all the way to the wall of the living room.

Boomm

His movements were fast and could not be avoided by Xiao Xing Fu. The distance where she stood and the wall was quite far, but the girl was able to push Xiao Xing Fu quickly all the way to the wall. Even the wall that had been hit by Xiao Xing Fu's body was cracked with blood splashing out from the young man's head.

Bai Nuan still clasped his neck. His gaze turned sharp, as if a starving predator was staring at the prey he was about to eat. Her irises had turned red, indicating that she had been possessed.

Xiao Xing Fu became difficult to breathe as Bai Nuan clasped her neck. He held the girl's hand and tried to remove the slender hand from her neck, "N-nuan? What the hell are. you doing?"

Bai Nuan smiled grinning, "I'm not that girl. You've taken something that's in our territory and entered our territory without permission. And then you must die."

"Ap–" Xiao Xing Fu grew increasingly claustrophobic to breathe, as Bai Nuan's grip grew stronger. "He's being possessed. But since when?"

"It's a good thing I got inside this girl's body before you guys left. So you can't get away from me, boy."

"Don't approach her." Li Xiang said.

Bai Nuan who was being possessed frowned when he heard the sound of someone else in the living room. He glanced back without letting go of his grip.

He saw a teenager with eyes covered by a black cloth. "It turns out that a boy like you would dare to say such a thing to me."

"Take him off right now." Said Li Xiang indifferently.

"Gu.i.t.." Xiao Xing Fu watched Li Xiang from afar with difficulty.

"I don't want to show it. But it's only forced this time." Inner Li Xiang. He extended his hand forward and at that instant, there were ring of fire coiling around both of Bai Nuan's wrists, but there was little distance there. Not only that, but there was also a ring of fire circling where Xiao Xing Fu was.

"W-what is this. aarghh.." Bai Nuan instantly released his grip on Xiao Xing Fu's neck and directly moved away from the young man. Meanwhile, Xiao Xing Fu lay on the floor while coughing. The flames surrounding him were white, just like the two rings of fire that surrounded both of Bai Nuan's hands.

Bai Nuan faced Li Xiang in anger as well as in pain, "What are you doing?! Aargh.." Now both of his wrists had become red, as if they had been exposed to hot water.

"Get out of her body right now." Said Li Xiang regardless of the agonizing moans coming out of Bai Nuan's mouth.

"I won't get out of this girl's body, aargh.."

Li Xiang smiled obliquely, "That is purgatory. Any evil spirit that gets that fire attack will be destroyed. Including evil spirits that possess a person's body. He will be destroyed along with the possessed. You want me to burn you with him?"

Bai Nuan looked a little surprised, "Heh, are you trying to threaten me to get me out of this body? Hmph! Unfortunately it won't work. It's better if I take her with me too. But I don't think you can attack this girl."

"You think so?" Li Xiang smiled in anguish. The two white flames surrounding Bai Nuan's hand were now attached to his skin, giving off an extremely painful and destructive burning sensation.

Both of Bai Nuan's wrists blistered like they were exposed to hot water. "Aarrggh.."

Xiao Xing Fu was shocked when he saw what happened, "Stop it! Don't hurt Nuan!!" he immediately stood up and came out of the circle of fire that surrounded him. Afterwards, he stood in front of Bai Nuan with both hands outstretched, as if protecting the girl.

Li Xiang narrowed his eyes. In an instant, the flames that encircled Bai Nuan's wrists stretched out, slightly away from the girl's wrist, "Why can't I do it? He's being possessed. So I better burn it down."

"But you will also burn Nuan! I won't let you do it!" Xiao Xing Fu said in seriousness.

Bai Nuan who was possessed and saw all of that was slanted, as if feeling victorious. Perhaps if Xiao Xing Fu protected him like this, then it was likely that Li Xiang would not exterminate him. Because after all, he could not overcome Li Xiang's purgatory white fire that could completely annihilate him in an instant.

"Then be well. I'll handle it later without burning Nuan's body as well. Now we better treat your wounds first." Li Xiang walked over to Xiao Xing Fu.

"Before that, you take care of Nuan first. Get that evil spirit out of his body."

"I'll handle it later. Your wounds are preferred."

"But you have to deal with it first. What if he really took over Nuan's body?!" Xiao Xing Fu said stubbornly.

"Why are you so stubborn? Can't you just obey me this once?"

Xiao Xing Fu turned his gaze in another direction. "Cure Nuan first."

"Rightly stubborn," Li Xiang suddenly appeared beside Xiao Xing Fu and directly hit the young man's nape. At that instant, Xiao Xing Fu lost her consciousness. He glanced at Bai Nuan, "I'll deal with you later. Don't think I let you go." Quickly, in his hand appeared a flower of hope. No, he didn't make it. But he took it from Bai Nuan without realizing the girl.

Li Xiang carried Xiao Xing Fu's body on his back. Although the young man's body was bigger than his, he could carry it easily. He glanced back where Bai Nuan stood. A white circle of fire surrounded the girl's body to the height of her stomach. Meanwhile, the ring of fire that surrounded both of his hands disappeared. "If you try to step out of the ring of fire, you will die immediately. Remember that."

Li Xiang left her in the living room regardless of the anger of the evil spirit that possessed Bai Nuan.

***

"X-xing Fu..?!" Lin Hao who was now feeling better was surprised to see Li Xiang carrying Xiao Xing Fu on his back in an unconscious state.

"Don't go anywhere. Just stay there." Li Xiang said. Afterwards, he entered the room with Xiao Xing Fu and closed the door.

"Actually.. What happened earlier? Then why was Xing Fu.. injured like that? What about Nuan's sister?" Inner Lin Hao.
