The Scum Is A ***

Chapter 643 – The Scum Is A Prankster

"X – Xiao Xi!" Fan Wen cried and his heart was greatly shaken when he saw Zhu Xi flying alone towards the now hell-like place where Chen Wu and the other participants are.

The other Xinfaxian Sect elders also were horrified.

"Wen. Calm down. Chen Wu and the others are also planning to break through the siege and combine forces with Zhu Xi." Xie Lan told Fan Wen. His voice and expression is calm but they can clearly see that his hands are trembling.

Obviously, Xie Lan, who is usually pranking others, is very nervous and worried. But, it is because of this prankster that now had become serious made them feel more depressed. Even someone who cracks jokes and pranks others now turned serious. This shows that the situation is grave.

Everyone\'s faces turn paler as they watch Zhu Xi\'s figure near the large swarm of demons who are coming his way. Albeit Zhu Xi is flying on his sword, the demons can leap or throw each other to reach Zhu Xi in the air. Thus, they didn\'t remain confident just because Zhu Xi is in the air and demons are on the ground and up the trees.

"Can\'t… can\'t we do something about this?!" Li Tian, who has always remained calm, asked agitatedly as he held his fan tight when he saw that Su Yi, although his expression remained calm, his face is paler than usual and beads of sweat are forming on his face.

Su Yi obviously is holding on and acting calm to not make his fellow participants feel nervous and lose hope, lose their confidence. But, this action of his can\'t escape the sect leaders\' and elders\' eyes,a nd they also feel distressed.

"They can\'t lose their momentum later when breaking through. Or else, they will die." Cheng Sheng told them.

Everyone felt their hearts turned cold when they heard this. They wanted to refute Cheng Sheng, but they also know that what he said is true.

"No! Zhu Xi was finally in sight of the demons!" Lei Ling cried as his face turned pale.

"Why… why are there more demons going towards Zhu Xi but a small number of them remained in the other participants\' side?" Xi Ming asked worriedly.

"It is because the demons got bored \'playing\' with them due to Su Yi\'s barrier which they thought wouldn\'t break since it remained strong for a long time." Tang Li answered.

Kang Ce nodded in agreement. "Their patience ran out, so they wanted to pick the soft persimmon who wants to serve itself in their plate." He said.

Everyone grimaced. "…" is it right to say it like that about the poor Zhu Xi who is going to die?! They inwardly roared. But, they controlled their expressions because their nerves are highly-strung.

"Chen Wu\'s side are breaking through!" Chen Han exclaimed when they saw that as soon as the demons on Chen Wu\'s side decreased, the participants came out of Su Yi\'s barrier as soon as these demons left so that they can immediately go to Zhu Xi\'s side and help Zhu Xi!

"Su Yi!" Li Tian cried and covered his mouth when they saw Su Yi finally collapsed as soon as Chen Wu, Wu Lian, Jing De and Jing Xu left!

"He held on until they left so that he won\'t cause them to lose their morale and give up fighting!" Li Nanzi said and sighed in admiration for Su Yi.

"But… there are still demons left surrounding them!" Tang Teng cried.

Everyone became tense again when they saw that Ling Yun, Chen Su, Su Mi, Su Yi, Qian Jue and Qian Meng were left with Chen Su, Su Mi and Qian Jue protecting Ling Yun, Su Yi and Qian Meng, respectively, against the demons that attacked them as soon as Su Yi\'s barrier was gone!

"No!" Qian Shan cried. "There is still Jin Yu! Jin Yu didn\'t leave!" Wu Tong said when he saw that a flash of cold light struck down the demons that crept behind the six people, with three unconscious while the other three protecting the unconscious ones.

"Jin Yu! Jin Yu remained to protect them!" Hui Qiu cried when she saw the scene.

"Wait! Zhu Xi is about to collide with the demons!" Su Wan sharply gasped with widened eyes.

"Chen Wu\'s side were also noticed by the demons and the demons returned to finally finish them off! Oh no!" He Run\'s face turned pale in horror and he almost covered his eyes with his both hands.

"ZHU XI!" the Xinfaxian Sect cried when they saw that the demons have finally reached Zhu Xi.

But, Zhu Xi, looking as a martyr, still collided with them head-on!

"AAAH!" the audience closed their eyes tight and their hearts sank when they saw that Zhu Xhi was covered by the demons! And Chen Wu\'s side, too.

The sect leaders and elders also fell silent, as if they were mourning. It can\'t be… they thought, feeling their hearts were gripped by the demons\' hands and were about to be torn to pieces.

"No." a cold voice spoke. "It isn\'t over yet." It said.

They all turned and saw that it was Fei Yin who spoke!

"Look carefully." Cheng Sheng calmly told them.

Everyone turned and saw a bright light broke through the darkness, as if tearing the darkness apart! The light came from Zhu Xi\'s side, Chen Wu\'s side, as well as –

"Su Yi!" Li Tian exclaimed.

"Su Mi…" Lei Qing almost collapsed due to her weak knees.

"Qian Meng… Qian Jue…" Qian Shan\'s tears fell while Qian Tian\'s eyes are bloodshot, suppressing his tears.

"Yun-er!" Ling Xi cried while Yu Wen hugged him to comfort him.

They all saw that the demons, instead of devouring the participants, actually were torn into pieces! Although the scene looked gruesome, everyone felt emotional because the participants are actually still alive! And there weren\'t injured nor suffered any wounds!

What happened? They all thought as they closely watched the scene, afraid of missing a bit of it!

"That… what was that?" someone from the audience asked.

"What?" somebody turned.

"That… something seemed to be stirring… turning very fast?" somebody spoke, his voice sounds uncertain.

"That is…!" the sect leaders and elders exclaimed when they recognized it.

"Huh!" they heard Zhu Xi\'s arrogant voice scoffed. Then, his figure became clearer after he raised the Cleansing Stone. "You think you can kill me? You wish!" he sneered at the demons who are surrounding him.

Feng Mo\'s lip twitched when he heard this familiar arrogant tone. Wasn\'t he talking like this, too, when he was younger? He thought and sighed.

"That… aren\'t those the strings of the bracelet that Cheng Sheng gave the participants?" Jing Cheng asked as he turned to Cheng Sheng.

Everyone also turned to Cheng Sheng. The strings of the bracelet separated and formed a protective ball by rapidly turning, protecting the person inside. It also tears the demons that try to attack the person inside the protective ball of string. Chen Wu\'s group of four was in the same situation, just that the ball of strings are bigger since their bracelets combined and formed a bigger ball, accommodating them four. As for Su Mi\'s side, their protective ball of strings are the biggest since there are six of them.

"I just infused some consciousness to those strings, so that they won\'t be as useless as just warding off the demons and demonic qi." Cheng Sheng explained.

Everyone. "…" are you pranking us?! They thought as their expressions turned a rapid change from anger to happiness to more complicated ones. They thought that the participants are all finished, that they were all gonna die! But, Cheng Sheng turned the table in just a second, saving all the participants!

Although they feel happy and relieved that no one died and the participants were all safe, they still felt cheated of their feelings! Cheng Sheng is truly a scum!

Zheng Fu Gong doesn\'t know whether to laugh or cry. "… thank you." He sincerely said to Cheng Sheng whose expression looked calm.

"It is my duty." Cheng Sheng just said.

But, Fei Yin who is sitting beside him felt that Cheng Sheng\'s hands inside his sleeves are trembling. Cheng Sheng isn\'t as calm as everyone thought he is. Cheng Sheng also was nervous that the bracelets won\'t react in time and save the participants.

Fei Yin smiled. "These Life-Saving Bracelets are really very good." He said as he held Cheng Sheng\'s hand tight.

Cheng Sheng\'s taut nerves immediately relaxed when he felt Fei Yin\'s familiar warmth and touch. "En." He answered.

Fei Yin soundlessly chuckled, didn\'t puncture Cheng Sheng\'s façade and let him fool the sect leaders and elders. But, how can Xie Lan and Fan Wen, who raised him, not notice Cheng Sheng\'s emotions that he is hiding? Chen Han also looked at Cheng Sheng and choked back his sob. Sun Yi and Wu Yuan, who are standing beside him, patted his shoulder. They understand that Cheng Sheng doesn\'t want the sect leaders and elders to worry, so he acted arrogant just now.

After all, Cheng Sheng is not omnipotent.
