The Scum Is A ***

"Don't waver." Jing Kang said when a Zunjingde Sect disciple died after a demonic cultivator bit him on the neck. However, the disciple stabbed himself together with the demonic cultivator. "This is war." He told Cheng Sheng.

"… is it worth it?" Cheng Sheng asked. "Am I worth it?" he asked them.

"You are." Jing Hei said. "But, they are, too. So, you should not lose sight of your goal. Or else – " he said and looked at Cheng Sheng. " – we'll be the ones to kill you, and not the demonic cultivators." he told him.

"Cheng-shidi…" Lei Qing called before she smiled. "Let's all live together." She said.

"That's right! We're all going to live!" You Rou said.

"Shijie… shimei…" Cheng Sheng called. Then, he lowered his head before he smiled. "Is this the final chapter that's why you're saying all these things?" he asked and sighed before laughed. What am I verbally beating myself for? He thought. This is not me. A scum should be – "These cannon fodders… do your job, damn it!" he yelled at the people outside. "A cannon fodder should kill the enemies, not the ones who will be killed!" he said as he walked forward and threw Cleansing Talismans. The talismans accurately hit the demonic cultivators. "Hey! Move it! Are you blind?! Are you sending yourself to the enemy's blade?!" he yelled when he saw a disciple looked at him, dumbfounded. "Hey! Stop sleeping! It's not bedtime yet!" he added.

"Cheng-shidi…" they called before they laughed.

"Geez…" Shu Mu said and scratched his head. "Hm?" he said when he saw Qian Lin. He immediately looked away and walked towards Cheng Sheng. "I'll be joining in the fray, too." He told him and patted his shoulder. "I just can't leave my fellow disciples alone." He added before he jumped down the ground and started cutting the demonic cultivators.

Jing Cheng saw a flying Voice Transmitting Talisman and he caught it. "Uncle?" he called.

"The Alliance is being attacked, too." Jing Rui's voice came from the talisman. "The demonic cultivators are doing everything to stop the competition to keep us from using the Cleansing Stone." He explained. "They will definitely kill Cheng Sheng tonight to stop him from making more Cleansing Talismans." He said. "Make sure he is alive." He added.

"Yes, uncle!" Jing Cheng answered. "You… be safe, too." He said.

"… I will." Jing Rui answered before the talisman burned and turned to ashes.

Jing Cheng's hand that held the talisman shook. Jing Rui… you should live! He thought and turned to the Zunjingde Sect and Shanliangde Sect disciples. "The Alliance was also attacked. The Alliance elders and the other sect leaders are holding them off. We should also hold the fort here!" he said.

"Yes!" they answered.

"Chen Han." Xi Ming called. "The Shanliangde Sect will guard the north side of the inn." He said.

"We'll guard the east side." Jing Cheng said.

"We'll guard the south side." Qian Lin said.

"We'll be guarding the west side." Sun Yi said. Then, they took their fellow disciples with them.

"Things sure are lively…" Yu Sheng said as he and Zuo Zhe watched everyone split in four directions. Only the Xinfaxian Sect was left with Chen Han.

Cheng Sheng took a deep breath before he fell on his knees. "Cheng Sheng!" Zuo Zhe exclaimed.

"Ha." Cheng Sheng sighed as he lowered his head.

"Cheng-shidi!" his fellow disciples called.

"I'm alright." Cheng Sheng said and smiled. "I just… suddenly became scared." He said.

"What happened?" Fei Yin asked.

"The… sect was attacked, too." Cheng Sheng answered when he felt his chest hurt earlier.

"What?!"

"But, it's alright." Cheng Sheng immediately said. "Wu Bai is there. He's actually that powerful." He told them.

"Wu Bai…" Feng Mo looked worried.

"He's fine." Cheng Sheng said. "Only the outermost barrier of the Xinfaxian was touched." He assured them as he slowly stood up. Then, he blinked and his pupils turned silver. "I can see it." He told them as what's before his eyes isn't the battle in the Yunxiao Inn but instead the demonic cultivators outside the barrier of the Xinfaxian. "Shifu and Wu Bai are holding the demonic cultivators back while our fellow disciples evacuated the residents." He told them as he saw Fan Wen and Wu Bai fighting against the demonic cultivators. "Shifu." He called, his voice echoed in the walls of Yunxiao Inn around them.

"Cheng-shidi…?" his fellow discipels called.

In Xinfaxian, Fan Wen was startled when he suddenly heard Cheng Sheng's voice. "Xiao Sheng?!" he exclaimed and immediately went back inside the barrier together with Wu Bai.

"It's me, shifu." Cheng Sheng, who's inside the Yunxiao Inn in Zhongyang, answered.

Fei Yin and the others stared at Cheng Sheng who was staring in front and his pupils are silver. "Is he… communicating with shifu?" Feng Mo asked.

"He must be." Li Tian answered.

"Amazing…" Lei Ling muttered. "Huh?" he said when they suddenly saw lights floating around them. "What is happening?" he asked.

They all looked around and saw it was the same outside. "Shifu." They heard Cheng Sheng called. "Go back to the sect." he told him.

"Ha?" Fan Wen, in the Xinfaxian, said. "Where are you? Did you go back? What about the competition?" he asked, but he's flying with Wu Bai back to the Xinfaxian Sect.

"I'm still in the Zhongyang." Cheng Sheng chuckled. "I'm using the arrays to communicate with you." He explained.

Fan Wen made a sudden stop in mid-air. "You mean… you can also go back here?!" he exclaimed in shock.

"Not entirely. I'm still controlling my powers." Cheng Sheng said. "Have you reached the sect?" he asked.

"Yeah." Fan Wen answered as he descended in the empty Meditation Hall with Wu Bai. "Close the doors." He told the disciples. The residents are inside. "What're you planning to do?" he asked.

"This will be harmful to ordinary people, so make them close their eyes." Cheng Sheng said.

"Alright." Fan Wen said.

Cheng Sheng blinked and his eyes turned back to their normal color. Then, he saw the Yunxiao Inn was covered with floating lights. They are qi. "Cheng-shidi." His fellow disciples called.

"I'm fine." Cheng Sheng answered before he blinked his eyes. Then, he placed his right hand to his chest while he raised his left hand. His body started to glow.

"What's happening?!" the disciples outside the Yunxiao Inn asked when they saw the barrier surrounding the Yunxiao Inn started to glow.

"What is he going to do- ?" Jing Cheng and the others asked.

"Ah Sheng?!" Chen Han exclaimed.

"Ha – " Cheng Sheng gasped as he felt his qi rushing out of his body. "We can't let them hurt more people…" he said, his voice soft.

"Cheng-shidi…?" Lei Qing and the others are puzzled while Fei Yin's face is solemn as they watched Cheng Sheng grabbed his pendant with his left hand while his right hand lowered.

"Xiao Ling." Cheng Sheng called.

Everyone suddenly felt the pressure in the air started to rise. "W-what's… what's going on?" both the righteous cultivators and demonic cultivators paused and turned to look at the Yunxiao Inn.

"Sheng-er!" Chen Jing cried and flew towards the Yunxiao Inn.

"Xiao Sheng!" Xie Lan called and followed Chen Jing.

The jade pendant flew in the air and turned to a beautiful sword. Cheng Sheng caught the hilt of his sword. "Destroy." He muttered as he pointed his sword on the floor in front of him. The blade of the sword flashed before the light travelled to the floor and split in all directions.

"Wha - … AAAHH!!!" everyone cried when the barrier flashed brightly. They immediately covered their eyes.

In the Righteous Alliance, they saw a bright light coming from the direction of the Yunxiao Inn. "That's…" Zheng Fu Gong and the others said when they saw the light flashed and shot into the sky before it disappeared.

"It's Cheng Sheng! It must be Cheng Sheng!" Pai Lie exclaimed.

"Shut up, you geezer." Su Yuan told Pai Lie as they protected him and Jing Xian since they can't fight. He and Qi Ling are righting with Zheng Fu Gong using their talismans and spells.

Xinfaxian, Xinfaxian Sect.

After the light died down, Fan Wen saw the demonic cultivators outside the barrier were frozen. "Did Xiao Sheng…?" he muttered before he gasped in shock.

Zhongyang, Yunxiao Inn.

"What… what was that just now - ?" the disciples asked.

"AAAAAHHH!!!" a loud scream broke the silence. They all immediately turned, thinking someone was killed by a demonic cultivator. However, what they saw stunned them.

The demonic cultivators were frozen before they slowly turned to ashes. "Geez… he stole my food." Mu Jun helplessly shook his head and looked at his arms. He's burnt all over his body. He didn't die since he is powerful.

THUD! A loud noise was heard as Cheng Sheng collapsed on the floor. His sword fell with a loud clang. "Cheng-shidi!" they called as they immediately helped Cheng Sheng. "Are you alright?!" they asked in panic. They were stunned earlier by what he did.

"Hah…" Cheng Sheng panted.

"Sheng-er!" Chen Jing called when he and Xie Lan finally arrived.

"Don't… panic – " Cheng Sheng said. "I'm… alright…" he told them.

"What was that just now?!" Xie Lan asked. Anger is in his voice.

"I... saw shifu…" Cheng Sheng said. "And… the sect…" he added.

"What?! What happened to Wen?!" Xie Lan asked.

"Our sect was attacked, too… and the Youxiwang Sect – " Cheng Sheng glanced at Chen Jing. "My array in the Youxiwang Sect is limited, so I can't see much." He explained. Regret is in his voice.

"Ah Sheng…" Chen Han called as he, Sun Yi and the Youxiwang Sect disciples came back with the Shanliangde Sect, Zunjingde Sect and the Qianxu Sect.

Cheng Sheng immediately sat up. "I'm fine…" he told them. "I won't die. In fact – " he said as he smiled at them. "I just used the extra qi in my body." He said.

"…" 'extra'? They thought as they looked at each other. You destroyed the demonic cultivators in a quarter-mile radius, and you call that 'extra' qi?!
