Chapter 131 (1/2)
”Why did you do it like this?” On the Fire Beacon Chariot, Tang Lianxin asked.
”Other people said you were a sissy, and you are actually slightly effeminate.” Su Xing creased his brow. Was the Tang Lianxin in front of him a man or not. Even if he had been scolded by a mad dog, there should have been no need to scold back in turn, but whichever way this man was looked at, he had an appearance of indignation.
He was at a loss.
Tang Lianxin did not mind these kinds of words, but he looked at Su Xing, puzzled. He repeated his question. ”There was no need for you to go provoke those annoyances for me. We do not have any sort of friendship.”
Su Xing slumped. This Tang Lianxin indeed was incredibly antisocial. He slightly understood why Ju Yueke so bitterly wanted to change his temper.
”Master already said we are brothers that are to share our fortunes and misfortunes. Don't give me that sort of icy manner. In any case, we are comrades in arms. You may feel indifferent, but I feel that this is important.” Su Xing patted his shoulder, for this was his customary action to show closeness.
Tang Lianxin's expression oddly looked at the hand on his shoulder, but he did not say anything more.
Then, Tang Lianxin again brought Su Xing around Flaming Eastern Island. Reticence and silence were his personality, and there were many places that even he did not know, so in the end, he still came across Protector Yang Yanyu. Only when this open female cultivator acted as a tour guide were things not awkward.
The Fire Beacon Chariot arrived at a cape of Flaming Eastern Island.
Yang Yanyu said: ”Ghost Chopping Cape,1 the Four Styles School's most important place!”
”Ghost Chopping Cape?” Su Xing felt this name was very strange.
Following Yang Yanyu's explanation pointing at the sea, Su Xing then understood. Beyond Ghost Chopping Cape's ten thousand li of sea area was the Falling Cherry Ghost Kingdom! The Falling Cherry Ghost Kingdom was the kingdom of a Demonic Cult that produced in abundance a kind of devil mask and body techniques that monstrous cultivators were fond of wearing. Thirsting for a kill, they were known as ”Ghost Martial Cultivators,” and they were loathed by the Azure Dragon Territory's cultivators. Frequently, there would be Ghost Martial Cultivators that sneaked into the Azure Dragon Territory to commit massacres, and usually, when Star Cultivators found out, there often were villages littered with corpses and rivers running with blood.
Consequently, Ghost Martial Cultivators were called ”Demons Among Demons,” devils that each and every one of the Azure Dragon Territory's cultivators killed. Thus, did the Ghost Chopping Cape receive this name.
Again navigating around the villages of Flaming Eastern Island, this place's climate was a considerably torrid heat. The earthly fires were too many and ill-suited for wheat and crops. The foodstuffs inside the villages were mostly supplied by the Four Styles School, and the villagers planted large tracts of ”Scarlet Monkey Fruit”2 and other such spirit fruits to act as remuneration.
Su Xing sighed.
After bidding farewell to Yang Yanyu, Su Xing and Tang Lianxin then returned to the sect. Just at this time, several escape lights fell before them. Su Xing looked, and the tsundere3 girl he previously chided them to was sure enough not resigned, having called for rescue troops.
”Master Brother Jiao,4 he is the one who bullied Little Sister.” Ruan Hongxue pointed at Su Xing, her expression itching to destroy him.
Su Xing stared, and the girl again very fearfully retreated.
This time, Ruan Hongxue brought more than twenty Fire Cloud Peak disciples with cultivations that were not low in a show of force. Among them was one whose face was smart and bright, with red lips and white teeth. He was an elegant man of approximately twenty-seven or twenty-eight years that made Su Xing feel concern. His forehead was full, his Essence Qi deep and resounding, Divine Intent surging. Although he was only Galaxy Early Stage, it seemed he had practiced Secret Techniques and such.
From Yang Yanyu, Su Xing understood what was up with this tsundere girl.
Ruan Hongxue, the daughter of Fire Cloud Peak's First Seat, Ruan Hongde.5 Running amok in the Four Styles School with a Nebula Magic Weapon, the ”Fire Dragon Whip,” every disciple did not dare provoke her. So this man should be the Fire Cloud Peak's Chief Elder Disciple, Jiao Shu.6 Known as one of the Four Styles School's Four Great Disciples, his sword arts were very exceptional.
”You really are spoiled.”7 Su Xing coldly looked at her.
”Master Brother Jiao, see how very rampant he is, he insulted Little Sister like this.” Ruan Hongxue said.
Jiao Shu was very mild, his lips forming a hook.
In an instant, a powerful Divine Intent immediately spilled over. He used his Divine Intent to probe Su Xing, who inwardly sneered. He had practiced the Thousand Machine Gang's Great Spread Divine Art and had five Star Generals at his side. Comparing Divine Sense, he had not yet felt fear, and he released his Divine Intent.
The two formless things were practically visible to the naked eye. In the space between them where no one was at, an impact exploded. A fierce astral wind immediately guested, scattering in every direction. The atmosphere and air suddenly was violent, and the Fire Cloud Peak disciples on riding swords were endlessly blown over.
The Tang Lianxin in the Fire Beacon Chariot was actually nonchalant; this Astral Tool certainly was not something these Divine Intents could ravage. Tang Lianxin still was that aloof as he stood to the side, spectating, an appearance that did not want to pay attention.
Seeing this situation, everyone was shocked, promptly releasing Star Energy for protection.
Explosions rang out continuously, and layers of strong winds formed a slipstream, suddenly sucking the two into the middle. The two people's silhouettes were instantly indistinct. High in the air, as if there was no form, the two were motionless shadows.
Ruan Hongxue was shocked to the extreme, not expecting the Nebula Late Stage bastard before her to surprisingly be able to contend against Master Brother. She knew that Senior Brother Jiao fortunately obtained a kind of Divine Sense refinement secret art, regarded as higher than the rest of the disciples in the entire Four Styles School.
Jiao Shu’s expression slightly changed, the robes on his body uplifted. The fire-light was fierce, only seeing Divine Intent become fire, an ignition. Su Xing was unconcerned, slowly increasing his own Divine Intent. His Divine Sense was like a vast lake shrouded in mist, covering Jiao Shu. The flames immediately died out, and Jiao Shu could only raise an artifact to protect himself, otherwise, he would probably be knocked down by Su Xing's Divine Intent.
He looked at Su Xing with an expression of unabashed shock.
The Fire Cloud Peak disciples thought that when they saw their Great Senior Brother suddenly released his artifact that he was about to act. Immediately, every kind of sword and polearm clattered. Carvings and paintings were thrown out, rays of light leaking everywhere, imposing and scathing.
Jiao Shu was too late to stop this.8
Su Xing also did not anticipate these Fire Cloud Peaks to unexpectedly loot a burning house. They belonged to the same school, and acting without the slightest hesitation, his heart was furious. Su Xing wanted to use the Blooming Water Divine Thunder to teach them a lesson.
At this time, Tang Lianxin was also finally displeased. He lazily tossed his hand, and a scroll was thrown into the air.
That scroll hung in the air. Suddenly, both sides unraveled then shot out a white mist. This mist wrapped and completely assimilated the artifacts of various ranks that were thrown over into itself. Then, the scroll rolled up and fell into Tang Lianxin's hand.
Everyone was dumbstruck.
