Xu Xingzhi was completely unaware of what happened, he only knew that when the giant had slaughtered up to his heels, all of the blood in his body flowed in reverse and only one thought emerged in his heart.
. . . Can’t die, not a single one of them are allowed to die.
Hot blood surged up and as if bright lightning had struck down from the sky and split his skull open from the crown of his head, his psyche was completly emptied out as terrifying waves rocked in his chest. The moment “Xianbi” exploded with brilliance in his palm, he finally felt solidarity as if he was genuinely a being of this world.
. . . The sealed gates were slammed open one by one and the fetters that bound him within his body burst apart.
Just like in the past, muscle memory made him act without need for further thought at this time.
When he came back to his senses, hot blood had already splashed on both of their cheeks.
The coordination between Meng Chongguang and his attacks greatly mitigated the impact of the rough blow aimed at Xu Xingzhi’s arm. He swung the sharp spiked-mace in his hand horizontally and a line of blood was splashed onto the sand dunes that were constantly undergoing saltation.
However, he still couldn’t control his own spiritual power and everyone could only see “Xianbi” rotating with radiance in his hand, rapidly changing shapes.
Shuihuo cudgel, yuchang sword, scythe, long whip, feng bow, podao, machete, long halberd, iron shield, fluttering silk. . .
Xu Xingzhi was an outstanding disciple among the four sects and was admired and feared by them all. Not only was he particularly favored by Qingjing-jun, but the most important thing was that he could easily control thousands of mechanical transformations, hundreds of classes of armaments, and could switch between them flexibly, just like manipulating one’s own arm. All those who fought against him in close quarters combat couldn’t help but complain. Even if they were as powerful as Qingjing-jun and possessed a comparable amount of spiritual power, if solely comparing close quarters combat, they might become overwhelmed by his ever-changing nifty tricks if they were even a little careless.
In the strong winds that whipped the face, Meng Chongguang erected another wind shield. He kicked the giant’s corpse away and exclaimed in great shock: “Shixiong!”
“Shi what xiong?” Xu Xingzhi was so out of breath by the surging spiritual power in his body, such a strange and familiar feeling reminded him of the emotional fluctuations that previously flooded him when he had exchanged pleasures with Meng Chongguang a few days ago and blushed reflexively as he became annoyed at the same time, “Go back! You’re just going to leave Beinan and Ah-Wang to their own devices?! You—”
Meng Chongguang shot forward in one step and made the move first as he coveted the other’s neck with one hand and blocked the other’s mouth with his own lips.
The feeling of kissing in the sandstorm wasn’t very beatific, not to mention that there was a dense metallic stench that was flowing from the two’s faces, the salty and acerbic taste that followed when it trailed onto their lips was also extremely discomfiting.
Yet such a wild and savage kiss in the midst of the wind and sand also triggered a different experience.
Meng Chongguang only wanted to kiss him fiercely for a moment before he disengaged, then with greed, possessiveness, and admiration in his eyes, he croaked in a hoarse voice: “. . . Shixiong, when I see you like this, I really want to eat you alive in one bite.”
After declaring that, he withdrew and left, the flames surrounding his body soared exponentially and the scarlet lines at the end of his eyes spread all the way to his temple where his hairline was. His sword was wrapped in startling thunder and the presence of a dragon was concealed within, crackling towards the female giant who was entangled with Zhou Wang and Zhou Beinan.
First was character, second was strength, these two traits that a man admired the most exploded in Xu Xingzhi’s body one after another, making him unable to distinguish between himself and the original owner.
Xu Xingzhi was not the type to be boastful and aggressive. Even if the passion and boiling blood rushing through the meridians of his body were roaring and longing to lift a blade and fight, he was very aware that with his current state with only one arm and a single hand while being unable to properly control his spiritual energy, fighting against the female giant that was several meters tall was like asking for death.
However, when Tao Xian saw Qu Chi summoning the remaining six swords back to fend off the little giant that was insensitive to pain, he was so anxious that he snatched up the corner of Xu Xingzhi’s long robe tightly and begged: “Xu-shixiong! Qu-shixiong. . . help him, aid him ah.”

Yuan Ruzhou had been staring at Xu Xingzhi with her empty eye sockets since earlier, her voice sounded rather incredulous: “Shixiong, wasn’t your root removed by that Jiu Zhideng. . .”
. . . Jiu Zhideng?
The Worlds’ Consciousness clearly stated that his root was stripped by the sect. . .
Xu Xingzhi found that because the past incidents were such an utter mess, it was also difficult to discern the truth from the lies. He could no longer muster the energy to waste his thoughts on being startled by this revelation, thus he might as well redirect it to accomplish something practical.
Taking a few deep breaths, he tried to suppress the spiritual power rapidly tunneling into his meridians before he set “Xianbi” as a light, easy-to-handle and unstoppable spiritual sword and charged out of the wind shield’s range, trampling on the sand to advance.
At first, he could only tread on the sandy ground on foot, but gradually, as if the wind supported his feet, he was raised aloft. After taking a few steps, Xu Xingzhi felt that the spiritual power in his body was circulating twice as smoothly as before and the continuously growing power reached the extreme ends of his four limbs, making the originally flexible and powerful muscles swiftly become filled up.
A mass of fresh human flesh was dashing towards him, making that little giant’s mouth containing a bloody odor break out into a grin with rampant joy as he charged towards Xu Xingzhi in an unbelievably delighted manner.
The sword formation Qu Chi manipulated fell like a rapid rain, but the little giant was very clever. After a short while of being entangled with Qu Chi in close quarters, he knew that the prey was good at defense and didn’t deign to attack proactively, thus he took the initiative to change the momentum of his strong onslaught and engaged with Qu Chi like he was teasing the other. He could make every strike of the other’s blades narrowly miss his vital areas and after several exchanges, he only came out of it with mere scratches in a few places and was otherwise relatively unharmed. What’s even more frightening was that there were several indestructible scales on this monster’s body which ultimately remained untouched under the flurry of attacks.
At this moment, the giant freed himself from Qu Chi’s entanglement and sprinted straight for Xu Xingzhi. When his muscular legs touched the ground, they abruptly bulged and protruded prominently to a disturbing extent. He bounded forward with an eerie grin and when he was half a chi away from Xu Xingzhi, his fists, that were originally swinging loosely by his sides moved like lightning, took mere milliseconds to shift from rotating them in one revolution to launching it forwards!
There was a huge earthquake reminiscent of how the Kunlun mountain collapsed as the dust and haze blinded one’s vision for a while and even Xu Xingzhi’s figure was annihilated by the flying ash, making his figure disappear momentarily.
Lu Yujiu’s breath hitched as he saw a thick stream of blood spray three chi into the air. The bloody beads were mixed with the sand, dyeing the surrounding flying sand into a hazy bloody mist.
Before he could call out “Xu-shixiong” in horror, he noticed the drifting sands scatter slightly, outlining Xu Xingzhi’s figure as he stamped on one arm of the little giant that was on the ground with one leg while he stabbed the body of his sword violently into it’s other arm in the same place where Qu Chi had previously created a laceration marred with blood!
The weapons stored in Xu Xingzhi’s “Xianbi” were not specialized armaments. After the body of the sword sank into the monster’s forearm, it snapped off immediately, but he didn’t pause and morphed “Xianbi” into another flexible blade, ran a few steps along the giant’s arm and with a wave of the sword, a white glare spun out, wrapping around the it’s throat, intending to lock it in a chokehold.
The monster’s reaction was lightning fast as he grasped the snake-like sword with its intact palm and roared in a deep voice trying to shatter the flexible blade. “Xianbi” seemed to have sensed the danger and instantly flared up with a blinding glow as it shrunk and transformed into a slender, silver needle that slipped through his wide fingers.
Xu Xingzhi leapt off his arm in advance and was already waiting in the gap between the other’s fingers.
The needle glinted like a wheat awn and transformed once again, this time, into a bag of fine lime powder. After Xu Xingzhi caught it, he scattered the powder with a backhanded throw, smashing the giant full in the face.
The monster was stunned and instantly covered its face, hopping around as it howled, the noises rolling out of its throat were like peals of thunder, scaring Tao Xian, who was in the distance, until his face blanched.
Xu Xingzhi stepped on the scaly muscles of the giant’s back, circled around him, and gathered the dispersed gray-white powder back into a pile, returning them to his own palm.
He tightly fastened the giant’s protruding muscles then circled around it, only to see a fluttering white robe envelop the little giant’s face from the left side. The corners of the garments were as sharp as knives as if it planned to slice off its neck in one fell swoop!
Who would have expected that the little giant, who was covering his face and yowling just now, would react like a flash lightning and snatch the white robe securely in the palm of its hand, exerting force instantly, clenching the white robe out of shape!
The suffering he demonstrated just now was actually faked!
There was so much wind and sand in this barren wasteland, if he doesn’t even bat an eye to that, what could mere lime do to him?
Tao Xian, who was not too far away, saw this scene and cried out with a sob: “Xu-shixiong!”
Even Qu Chi, who was forced to retreat more than a meter away, raised his head only to catch sight of the blood-stained white clothes jutting out from below the giant’s palm, the expression on his face also changed drastically: “Xing. . .”
The giant initially sported a cocky expression, then blinked his huge eyes in confusion, as if he felt that there was something wrong.
Before it could figure it out, he staggered back a few steps, covering his throat as he let out a hoarse roar of disbelief!
In the lielie sounds of the violent gusts, Xu Xingzhi’s outer robe had disappeared and his wheat-colored tight muscles were exposed. His left hand and right wrist were crossed as he twisted a copper chain that was about as thick as an arm while mounted on the giant’s neck, allowing the chain to penetrate deeply into the flesh of the other’s throat.
He looked back at Qu Chi and shouted sharply: “Qu Chi! Aim at the spot that is bleeding!”
Qu Chi caught on instantly. Before he arrived physically, the sword’s edge had already made its way over and the wound he had made in the difficult struggle with the giant just now became the red target sign where his blade fell. Wherever the razor sharp edge touched, the skin was ripped apart to expose soft flesh, and bloody flowers bloomed wildly!
The little giant couldn’t laugh any longer as he was prostrated on the ground, rolling wildly, using his head to pound against the ground in an attempt to throw Xu Xingzhi, who was restraining him, off his back.
Xu Xingzhi’s figure shifted to another location as he stepped on its forehead without easing up the force exerted by his hands at all. He locked onto the its throat as if he were strangling an animal, his muscles so taut that he could almost hear them creak and a low growl due to the exertion of force spilled out between his teeth along with a trickle of blood due to how hard he clenched his teeth.
Qu Chi didn’t want to let Xu Xingzhi confront this giant like this any longer, so he pursued closely with his sword at hand, and was about to chop off the its head when he heard Xu Xingzhi call out in a low and anxious voice: “Hold off for a bit!!!”
Qu Chi halted his glaring blade feeling a little puzzled, but still conceded to the other’s order and stayed his hand.
Xu Xingzhi put pressure on a solitary foot that was stepping against the creature’s skull, who already perceived that the good times weren’t going to last much longer and had started struggling crazily, then turned back towards Meng Chongguang, who was entangled with the female giant, and bellowed: “Meng Chongguang! Make her look over here! We’ll slaughter him for her to see ah!!”
Before his voice could be heard, his words were already torn to pieces by the strong winds.
Qu Chi alerted him anxiously: “He can’t hear it!”
Xu Xingzhi stabilized his posture, gritted his teeth and stated with conviction: “He can!”
Blocked by the wild gales and waves of sand, even if it was only a short distance away, it was as if it had to cross the distance of a mountain and sea, but Meng Chongguang, who was flitting and zipping around the female giant, hacking out burst after burst of sparks like scorching stars, seemed to really have heard his voice from hundreds of meters away.
He avoided the female giant’s palm that was wrapped in a hurricane and when he glanced back suddenly, he caught sight of Xu Xingzhi strangling the monster’s neck with a colossal chain from behind his neck. The moment his gaze turned away, he realized something and shot into the air as he kicked the female giant, who was chasing after and snapping her teeth at Zhou Wang, in the side of her face. The female giant wasn’t on guard against Meng Chongguang for a brief moment and was kicked solidly, her neck snapping sharply in the direction Xu Xingzhi and Qu Chi were located.
She had just been enthralled in her hunt and didn’t realize that one of her sons had already died so tragically. When her huge eyes as big as lanterns landed on the child who was lying on the ground in a pool of his own blood, and then on the other who was about to meet his maker, her pupils suddenly constricted and with a roar, she cast Zhou Wang off to the side and bounded straight over, even the attention she placed on protecting her throat was diverted.
Xu Xingzhi’s gaze coalesced: “Qu Chi! Do it now!”
Qu Chi, who had already been on standby off to the side, with a cold glint of his blade, raised his hand and brought his sword down without any hesitation. At the cost of losing another blade in exchange, he slashed a palm-deep laceration in the neck of the little giant!
Blood as rich and thick as liquified copper spewed out, causing the female giant to clench her fists and howl again. Her feet kicked against the ground so violently it seemed as if the earth was quaking and the mountains were shaking as she charged over, her eyes alight, eager for revenge!
Xu Xingzhi ripped out the massive chain that was restricting the giant’s neck, morphed it into a sharp épée, gave an angry shout, and hurtled the sword in Meng Chongguang’s direction!
The steel blade drew a perfect and snow bright arc in the air, piercing through layers of flowing sand without pause and when it was before Meng Chongguang’s eyes, Meng Chongguang accurately snatched up the hilt of the sword then faced Zhou Beinan and Zhou Wang, who were floating in midair at a loss, and ordered: “Now!”
They must grasp this timing when the mother giant had just lost two sons in a row and lost control of her emotions to strike! Otherwise, if they continued to delay, it was inevitable that new variables would arise!
The two could only see the movements of Meng Chongguang’s mouth as he called out, although they didn’t know what the contents were, after thirteen years of interacting with each other, they were already very familiar with each other’s tactics. Zhou Beinan wielded his long spear made of steel, Zhou Wang drew her single saber that had been marred with a nick in the edge, and Meng Chongguang crossed his two blades. The three of them worked together and almost simultaneously stabbed their respective weapons into the throat of the female giant which was her most vulnerable spot!
Blood splattered sky-high, reaching beyond the nine levels of heaven.
That female giant was like a centipede that was dead, but wasn’t stiff. She struggled and stumbled forward a few dozen steps arduously before collapsing like a landslide.
The crazy gusts gradually quieted down and the wild sands slowly subsided. The silent wilderness sluggishly returned to a picture of tranquility.
Only then did Xu Xingzhi let go of his tightly clenched left fist, his muscles spasming due to prolonged excessive tension. He grinned, rubbed the blood that was on his hand onto the body of the little giant, then wiped the blood off his face and spat out a mouthful of it, sneering coldly: “Trash.”
Meng Chongguang approached Xu Xingzhi as he stripped off the clothes that were drenched and soaked in the disgusting stench of the female giant’s warm blood. In a few hasty steps, he tossed the épée that “Xianbi” had transformed into along with his blades into the drifting sands next to him and tugged Xu Xingzhi into his arms without another word.
The muscles on Xu Xingzhi’s arm were pulled on until it ached with soreness making him call out with a ai, but before he could make a second sound, Meng Chongguang had already blocked his lips again, attacking them frantically, lingering endlessly, coiling their tongues together in a burst of ecstasy and euphoria that couldn’t be expressed in words.
. . . Kissing such a person, he would never get tired of it no matter for how long.
The author has something to say:
Guang-mei replied shyly: Bi—A man like Shixiong is the most stimulating~
Shixiong: . . . mmp.
