"AH KANG!!!" Jing Hei cried before he felt his body was pulled inside the cave. "Ah Lin…" he called when he saw Qian Lin's crying face. "Ah Kang… he – " he said as his tears also fell.
"Don't kill us off!" it was Jing Bai's voice.
Everyone turned and saw Jing Kang, Jing Bai and Zheng Yi were fine after the smoke settled. Jing Kang was lying on the ground and is unconscious after the impact.
"The demonic cultivator…" they said when they saw the demonic cultivator was wriggling on the ground while holding the back of his head that was melting!
"Hah… hah…" Jing Cheng panted as he glared at the demonic cultivator. His hand was still raised. "Don't… you dare hurt… my brothers and cousin." He said as he gritted his teeth.
"Da ge!" Jing Hei cried when they saw Jing Cheng appeared.
"It was the Cleansing Stone!" Fu An exclaimed when they saw the Cleansing Stone melted behind the demonic cultivator's head. It and the demonic qi cancelled each other out.
"AAAAAHH!!!" Jing Cheng yelled as he rushed towards the demonic cultivator.
Outside the secret realm, the chair overturned when Jing Rui abruptly rose from his seat.
"Sect leader Jing?!" the sect leaders exclaimed in surprise when they saw Jing Rui.
Jing Rui's usually cold and expressionless face is tense and his fists are clenched on his side. "Jing Cheng…" he muttered as he stared at the Cleansing Stone without blinking. He's afraid that if he'd blink, he'd miss to see Jing Cheng and the next he'd see is Jing Cheng's death! He felt his heart beating faster because of fear. No… don't die… he thought as he stared at Jing Cheng being pushed back by the demonic cultivator. Idiot! He thought as he felt his eyes started to tear up when he saw the wounds on Jing Cheng's body increased. Even though Cheng Sheng's healing spells heal their wounds, but the demonic cultivator's attacks are faster.
"DA GE!!!" Jing Hei and Jing Bai's voice made Jing Rui's heart sank and break when they saw the demonic cultivator pummeled Jing Cheng to the ground with his fists!
"Ha." Jing Rui sharply gasped and felt his heart stopped when he saw the demonic cultivator raised its claw to kill Jing Cheng!
"Don't blink!" Xie Lan told him as they all stared at the Cleansing Stone.
"Not so fast!" it was Yu Sheng's voice! Yu Sheng suddenly appeared beside the demonic cultivator and kicked him! Then, Wu Xi flashed behind him and flew in the air before his body turned and he cut the demonic cultivator's claw!
Jing Rui felt his heart immediately flew back and his knees lost their strength. He fell on his knees, his whole body cold and is shaking in fear.
Inside the secret realm, everyone was shocked.
"Yu-ge!" Feng Mo cried in joy.
"Wu Xi!" Li Tian exclaimed. That's right! These two are still around! He thought and looked around the area. "Wait… the monsters are all wiped out!" he said.
"What?!" they exclaimed and also saw the mountains of corpses around. "Don't tell me… those two did - ?!" they said and looked at Yu Sheng and Wu Xi who were fighting against the demonic cultivator. "AMAZING!" they exclaimed.
"I'll leave him to you!" Yu Sheng told Wu Xi and smiled before he left to pick up Jing Cheng.
"WHA - !" Jing Hei exclaimed and his eyes widened when he saw Jing Cheng's body was flying towards him! "UGH!" he cried and fell when Jing Cheng collided at him after Yu Sheng carelessly threw Jing Cheng towards him!
"Incoming!" Qian Lin said and moved out of the way when Yu Sheng threw Jing Bai next!
"WAH!" Shan Lu cried when he was hit by Jing Bai!
"UGH!" a Huakai Sect disciple cried when Zheng Yi hit him!
"KAH!" Tang Yun cried when Jing Kang collided at him!
"YU SHENG!" the people who were hit exclaimed and glared at Yu Sheng who just laughed at them before he flew in the air and landed on top of the cave where Cheng Sheng was sitting! "What – " they muttered before they heard a loud noise!
BAM! Something hit the wall of the cave! They turned and saw there was a hole in the cave, and Wu Xi was lying on the ground!
"Wu Xi!" Li Tian called as he, Fu An and Guo Cheng ran towards Wu Xi. They didn't dare carelessly touch him.
"Yu Sheng!" Fei Yin, Chen Han, Xi Ming and Tang Zhe finally arrived and saw Yu Sheng standing beside Cheng Sheng who sat in a lotus position as he meditated.
"KEH!" Cheng Sheng coughed out blood and almost toppled over had not Yu Sheng grabbed his collar behind.
"Ah Sheng!" Chen Han cried before they all felt their strength is increasing. "What… Ah Sheng! Stop healing us!" he called out to Cheng Sheng.
"RAAAAARRRR!" the demonic cultivator roared and his body started to emit more demonic qi.
"Get away from him!" Xi Ming said as he, Fei Yin, Chen Han and Tang Zhe jumped back to avoid the demonic qi.
"The demonic qi… it doesn't affect us?" Tang Zhe said when he noticed the demonic qi burned before it reached their skin.
"It's Ah Sheng… that light just now…" Chen Han said as they looked at Cheng Sheng.
"Attack!" Fei Yin said before the four of them flew towards the demonic cultivator!
Outside the secret realm, everyone held their breath. "Who is it?" they asked as they stared at the demonic cultivator. "Damn it!" they cursed when they saw the movements of the demonic cultivator became faster. "It can still suppress four High Level Golden Core Stage cultivators?!" they exclaimed as they looked at the demonic cultivator in disbelief.
"It must be sucking in the negative qi and demonic qi from the walking corpses, as well as in the secret realm." Fei Huang said.
Qian Shan nodded. "That must be how it can suddenly become stronger." He said as his brows knit.
"Who is it… who is that damned shameless contestant?!" Li Nanzi asked. His face is filled with anger as he glared at the demonic cultivator.
"Whoever it is, he must be killed." Tang Teng said and frowned as they watched Fei Yin, Chen Han, Xi Ming and Tang Zhe flown away after the demonic cultivator roared. Then, the four fell and rolled on the ground. Their head was bleeding but their wound was immediately healed.
The demonic cultivator saw it and he turned to growl at Cheng Sheng. However, Yu Sheng was blocking his sight of Cheng Sheng. "RAAAAR!" he flew towards Yu Sheng, but Yu Sheng turned his body and accurately landed his kick on the demonic cultivator's head. "GAAH!" the demonic cultivator cried before he fell on the ground. A crack appeared where he fell.
"…" Yu Sheng, you have this much strength so why don't you just finish him off? They all thought with a dark face.
Inside the secret realm, Fei Yin, Chen Han, Xi Ming and Tang Zhe saw the scene repeated. "…" just how strong Yu Sheng is? They thought as they saw the difference between their strength and Yu Sheng's. When the demonic cultivator fell to the ground again and Yu Sheng kicked it again, for the nth time, they suddenly felt pity to the demonic cultivator. "…" this is clearly bullying. They thought when the demonic cultivator tried to reach Cheng Sheng again.
They were expecting for Yu Sheng to kick it again. However, they were shocked of what happened next.
SHING! A sword struck the demonic cultivator's head, and they saw him hanging on the sword by his head. He stretched out his limbs that were bent in strange angles just to reach Yu Sheng, but it was futile.
"Even after death, you're still annoying – " a voice that is very familiar to them spoke. They saw that the sword isn't Yu Sheng's, but is coming from behind him! " – ne, Jie Mei?"
"KAAAAH!!!" the demonic cultivator screeched just as Cheng Sheng's face appeared behind Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng chuckled before he flicked the demonic cultivator's head, and the demonic cultivator hit the ground after a split second! BAM! Another big crack appeared on the ground!
Outside the secret realm, everyone was stunned. "What did he say…? Jie Mei?" they said as they looked at each other.
"Jie Mei… the one they ditched?!" everyone exclaimed when the thought had sunk in their head.
"Jie Mei… that's right. She's a rogue cultivator!" a sect leader said as he turned to the others.
"It was her…?" they were dumbfounded. "However, the Cleansing Stone…" they said.
"The Cleansing Stone never fails." Zheng Fu Gong spoke. His face is grave.
"Then, how…?" they asked.
"Let's wait for Cheng Sheng to explain." Zheng Fu Gong said.
They nodded in agreement before they resumed watching.
Inside the secret realm, everyone was shocked.
"What?! Jie Mei?!" Jing Hei said as he pushed Jing Cheng off of him.
"That's what he said." Qian Lin said before he turned to Li Tian, Feng Mo and Sun Yi who didn't look surprised. Xiao Le was still crying because Kang Ce is still unconscious.
"What is happening…?" Jing Bai asked as he held his head when he felt dizzy.
"It is her." Li Tian spoke. "The night before the competition, we never let down our guard even if the demonic cultivators were defeated." He said. "You see, Cheng-shidi has always this reminder..." He said and smiled as he looked at Cheng Sheng.
Cheng Sheng looked down at Jie Mei who was crawling on the ground. "There're only two reasons why one would approach you." He said as he coolly jumped down from the top of the cave. Yu Sheng followed behind him. "One, they need your help. Two – " he said as he walked towards Jie Mei. " – you're going to ask for help after they screw you over." He said as he stabbed Jie Mei's leg with his sword.
