Chapter 642 – The Scum Is Bizarre
"Su Mi! Su Yi!" Chen Wu called as he dodged a demon's claw.
"Here!" they answered.
Su Yi immediately erected a barrier around them while Su Mi killed that demon before she retreated inside the barrier. The others also retreated inside the barrier, trying to take a break.
Qian Jue, the weakest among them, are thoroughly exhausted. His face is pale, trying to suppress the groans coming from his lips due to pain. Ling Yun's energy is also spent, and his eyes are strained as he act as their support to warn them which demon is stronger based on their demonic qi, and so they can avoid it. Chen Su, fortunately, is physically stronger than the two since Cheng Sheng has specifically trained the Chen Clan's descendants. Chen Yu, naturally, is also physically strong. it is just that he is timid, and his cultivation is lower, so he isn't as stable as Chen Su.
"Damn it! They are endless!" Jing De cursed and cannot help but complain as they all looked at the countless demons surrounding them.
The demons are pounding on the barrier, trying to break it so they can't kill them. Fortunately, although Su Yi looked physically weak, that is reasonable, as he is a mage. Mages rely on their qi, so, Su Yi's barrier that is acting as their shelter is very stable.
"Thank you, Su Yi." Qian Jue said as he redressed Qian Meng's wounds.
Chen Su is giving Ling Yun qi so that Ling Yun's eyes would hurt less. This barrier really helps Qian Meng and Ling Yun a lot.
"I have a lot more to learn from my master… my body is too weak!" Ling Yun sighed in lament.
Chen Wu smiled. "Then, you should be prepared for our uncle's training." He told him before he turned to Wu Lian who is catching his breath.
Among them, Wu Lian's clothes are the bloodiest that the red color of the Youxiwang Sect's uniform has now turned green due to the demons' blood. Obviously, he is the one who killed demons most. Of course, he is also exhausted.
"How do we leave?" Jing De asked before he paused. "Well… can we even leave?" he said as he looked at them.
They all grimaced. All of the demons have gathered here, so how would they be able to leave?! This is just a wishful thinking!
"No… we have to. We have to leave!" Chen Wu said as he took a deep breath. "We have to regroup, and then try to take down the leader of the demons again! Only this way can things be returned to normal!" he told them.
They all nodded in agreement, and their dampened desire to kill the leader of the demons was reignited again!
"But, how do you know where the leader of the demons is?" Jing Xu asked as he treated his wound with the herbs that they have found earlier. "Ah." He muttered when he recalled something. He looked at Ling Yun.
Ling Yun wryly smiled. "I tried to find a bizarre trace of qi from the sea of demonic qi… then, we really found it." He told them.
They all looked at Ling Yun in amazement. Then, suddenly, they caught something. "'bizarre qi'?" they asked.
"Don't you think that a demon can be this smart, ordering other demons to gather to besiege us participants?" Chen Wu asked.
They all fell silent. Indeed, this is really bizarre. Even if demons can become powerful, they wouldn't be this smart! This is bizarre indeed!
"You have worked hard." They told Ling Yun with sympathy in their eyes.
They can imagine how hard was it for Ling Yun. It is like finding a needle in a haystack. Not to mention that Ling Yun also has to help them fight against the demons, but the number of demons actually has increased, thus he can only grit his teeth and fight back!
"No… I am really happy that I can help." Ling Yun said and smiled. He really feels happy because his eyes have finally found their use!
They also feel relieved that Ling Yun is here. Or else, until now, they would still be racking their brains on how to find the leader of the demons!
"Wait… no… oh no!" Ling Yun suddenly exclaimed as he sat up straight and looked outside the barrier.
Everyone immediately felt their chests tightened. "What's wrong?" they asked.
"We forgot… that the people in the camp might also be coming here!" Ling Yun answered.
Chen Wu's and Wu Lian's expressions changed. "FCK!" Chen Wu cursed and massaged his temples when he now recalled this matter.
The others' expressions also don't look good.
"Right now, there are only Cui Xiang, Chen Yu, Sun Rong and Zhu Xi in the camp." Wu Lian said. "Cui Xiang naturally can't leave the camp since she has to refine medicine, and Sun Rong is watching over her fellow disciples and Wu Tie, as well as Chen Yu." He said. "That leaves…" he looked at them as his expression turned colder.
"Zhu Xi!" everyone exclaimed as their faces turned pale in horror.
Ling Yun harshly gasped. "Let me find where he is!" he said as he opened his eyes that are bloodshot.
"Ling Yun…" they called, feeling worried. But, they also didn't stop him since they are also worried for Zhu Xi who came to help them.
Ling Yun's eyes narrowed as he looked in all directions. But, there is only pitch-black darkness around them due to demonic qi. The demonic qi is too dense that it can be seen with naked eye. If not for the demons' glowing eyes, they wouldn't be able to tell where the demons are and killed them.
"East… southeast! There is a green light coming from southeast!" Ling Yun finally said when he saw a faint green light amidst the darkness around them.
"When Zhu Xi approach, some demons would be attracted by him and intercept him. This is our chance!" Chen Wu said. "Let us regroup with Zhu Xi as soon as the number of demons surrounding us lessen!" he told them.
"Yes!" they answered as they ate magic pills to restore their strength and qi.
"Ling Yun. How long do you think Zhu Xi will arrive?" Wu Lian asked as he redressed his wounds.
"A quarter of an hour." Ling Yun gasped, catching his breath. His figure staggered.
"Ling Yun!" they cried and caught him when he fell.
"I am fine… I just feel dizzy." Ling Yun said.
"I will look after him." Chen Su said as he helped Ling Yun sit on the ground for a while. With his ability, he can only protect a person and can't break through the siege.
Su Mi naturally will protect Su Yi who is acting as their support. Qian Jue will protect Qian Meng who finally fainted after losing blood. That leaves Chen Wu, Wu Lian, Jing De, Jing Xu and the silent since earlier Jin Yu who is silently resting to restore his energy.
"Let's plan on how to break through!" Chen Wu said.
…
Back at the venue, everyone sighed in relief after they saw that Su Yi has protected a barrier at the last minute and everyone has entered in the barrier, acting as their temporary shelter. This gave the participants a moment to breathe and rest, as well as to plan.
"Fortunately, there was Su Yi!" Jing Bai sighed in relief as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Earlier, it was very chaotic, as well as dangerous since more demons have arrived. Even if the number of participants has increased, it didn't change the fact that both groups were being besieged. So, everyone's hearts are at their throats when they saw that the entire area where the two groups of the participants have been reunited by the demons cleverly was entirely surrounded by the demons!
Especially when the fierce and despairing battle started, and the participants suffered wounds successively… the only fortunate thing is that they were able to kill many demons. But, this matter weigh lesser than the participants' lives, of course! The participants are more important than the points, much less the competition!
Xiao Bao and xiao Ling, as well as the Shapeshifting Blanket were fortunately there to ensure the participants' lives. But, it is really very commending that the participants themselves are able to survive longer! This is why they highly praise and admire Su Yi, since Su Yi has become the lifeline of all of them now, also buying them time to rest and plan using his barrier.
"Oh, no… Zhu Xi!" Feng Mo cried when he saw that Zhu Xi is flying very fast towards where Chen Wu and the others are!
Everyone immediately felt tense again when they also saw Zhu Xi. They have forgotten that Zhu Xi is going to aid the other participants after he received the signal from Chen Wu's group, which Chen Wu managed to send at the last minute before his group was entire surrounded!
