64 Day 63: The Scum Is Guilty (1/2)
Actually, the massive malevolent energy is coming in one direction – the Newfound Sect people's direction.
Their eyes went wide, shocked.
”Go!” Xie Lan yelled as everybody mounted their sword and flew, trying to find cover. He pulled Fang Wen as they flew away.
”Yes!” Fei Yin, Li Tian and Feng Mo answered. They immediately mounted on their sword.
Their eyes went wide, shocked, as they remembered someone who can't even fly on his sword. They immediately turned and their already pale face went paler as they felt their heart stopped when they saw the malevolent energy going to that someone's direction.
”Sheng – er!” Fang Wen screamed. Xie Lan's eyes went wide.
”Brother Chen!” Li Tian and Fen Mo called.
”Ah Sheng!” Chen Han, from the Promising Sect's group, yelled. Sun Yi and Wu Yuan's face are pale as they stared at the horrifying scene before them.
”Sheng!” Fei Yin called.
Chen Sheng isn't stupid. He didn't even freeze in place since he's been to many different dangers in different worlds. He calmly fished out the Heaven's Touch from his pocket and took some talismans and lit them.
Everybody's eyes went wide as they watch an old blanket flew in front of Chen Sheng, covering him. Their mouth fell open, more shocked when they saw countless burning talisman's flew in front of the old blanket, going to intercept the massive amount of malevolent energy. They all stood, frozen, on their sword as they watched the massive malevolent energy finally hit the talismans.
They all covered themselves with barriers as they felt the deafening and oppressing impact.
”Ugh - !” they cried as they were pressed back by the continuous impact of the malevolent energy hitting the walls of talismans.
They all turned, straining, to look at the lone and weak disciple that's intercepting the malevolent energy alone for the numerous high – level cultivators that chickened out.
Their eyes went wide, shocked, as they saw Chen Sheng still standing resolutely. Although he was pushed back, but he's continuously burning talismans to replace the ones that was burned out.
Their mouth fell open, even more shocked, and forgot to help the mere disciple as they stared at him in awe.
”Aiaia... so this is what you are.” Chen Sheng muttered as he watches the blanket turned whiter as it 'eat' the malevolent energy. He continued taking out talismans.
He made thousands last night, anyway.
”Who the hell is that?!” the cultivators said, shocked, as they stared at Chen Sheng and the old blanket that turned new.
They can't move because of the oppressing pressure they felt from the interception of the malevolent energy and Chen Sheng's talismans and now white as snow blanket.
”Sheng – er!” Fang Wen called.
”Ah Sheng!” Chen Han called.
”Brother Chen!” Li Tian and Feng Mo called.
”Sheng!” Fei Yin called, gritting his teeth.
”'Chen... Sheng'...?” Fei Lin and Xi Ling said and looked at each other, then looked at Chen Sheng. They already heard and saw earlier that Chen Sheng is still in Qi Condensation Stage.
For him to intercept the massive malevolent energy even them, Nascent Soul and Immortal Stage cultivators fled from... this disciple isn't an ordinary one as you may think.
The stalemate lasted until Chen Sheng used up three quarters of his talismans. The blanket also looked as white as snow. The stalemate stopped since the malevolent energy was mostly 'eaten' by the blanket.
Everybody stared at Chen Sheng in awe. They were about to celebrate since he stopped single-handedly the malevolent energy and was about to fly towards him when suddenly, another massive wave of malevolent energy came rushing towards Chen Sheng.
Their eyes went wide, shocked, as they looked at Chen Sheng. They knew he used up almost all of his talismans and the blanket seemed full, so intercepting another wave, stronger than before, Chen Sheng surely will meet his death.
”Ah Sheng!” Chen Han called.
”Sheng – er!” Fang Wen and Xie Lan called.
”Brother Chen - !” Li Tian and Feng Mo called.
”Sheng!” Fei Yin called.
They all flew towards Chen Sheng. They were almost near as well as the malevolent energy to Chen Sheng when they were all, including the malevolent energy, was blown away by a whirlwind.
”Arrh!” they all exclaimed.
But, the whirlwind didn't stop and continued to blow the malevolent energy, fiercer than ever, away from the lone disciple. The cultivators that're mounted on their sword were almost knocked over.
Is it that disciple again? they all thought and turned. But, another surprise met them when they saw it was a beast. It has six humongous wings and the beast is as tall as a two story house. Every waves of wind the humongous wings of the beast threw to the malevolent energy sends the malevolent energy scattering over the land.
This woke the cultivators up and they all immediately took out their magic tools to prevent the malevolent energy from scattering. But, too late, since most of the malevolent energy was already spread out of the demonic land and into the Newfound Land, and they know it'll continue to spread to the Promising Land which is in the west side of the Demonic Land.
Seeing the malevolent energy dispersed, the beast stopped flapping its wings.
”That's – ” one of the disciples of one of the sects said, staring at the beast.
”Thousand Six-Winged Eagle!” the other disciples exclaimed.
Murmurs can be heard as they all descended. They all started to collect malevolent energy as much as they could. The others went to crowd the beast that's in a staring stalemate with Chen Sheng.
”Sheng – er!” Fang Wen called and ran towards Chen Sheng, throwing his sword away. Xie Lan immediately caught it and followed Fang Wen, who's also being followed by Fei Yin, Li Tian, Feng Mo and Chen Han.
”Ah Sheng!” Chen Han called and hugged Chen Sheng.
”Brother Chen!” Li Tian and Feng Mo called jumped to hug Chen Sheng on his other side.
”... Brother Chen...” Fei Yin called, holding himself back not to hug Chen Sheng.
But Chen Sheng ignored them and continued to do a staring contest with the beast.
”Sheng – er?” Fang Wen called, worry all over his face. He looked at the beast who's still staring at Chen Sheng, totally ignoring everybody.
It was Fei Huang who broke the silence in the Newfound Sect's group. ”A shame for all of us, but the hero of this unfortunate event if the disciple of the Newfound Sect.” he said and looked at Chen Sheng.
But, Chen Sheng is still looking at the beast. Dark lines covered Fei Huang's face, ignored for the first time.
Fei Lin, an elder of the Upright Sect, cleared his throat, saving his and Fei Yin's uncle's face. ”Yin – er.” He called his brother and smiled, trying to shift the attention from Fei Huang to them.
But, Fei Yin just ignored his elder brother and continued to watch, together with others, Chen Sheng who's in a stalemate with the beast.
The other cultivators also noticed something's wrong with the group and they all gathered around. ”What? What's happening?”
”That disciple earlier – ”
”And the beast – ”
” – forming a contract?”
That question woke everyone up.
”Brother Chen?” Li Tian and Feng Mo called.
”Sheng – er?” Fang Wen called.
”Ah Sheng?” Chen Han called.
”Did something happen with your brother?” Sun Yi asked Chen Han as he, Wu Yuan, Ming Ye and Luo Shi, together with their sect leader, joined their group.
”That disciple is a genius in making talismans.” the Promising Sect leader, Wu Yuan's father, said. He's looking at Chen Sheng. ”A shame the second young master of the family that's our biggest supporter joined another sect...” he sighed, disappointed.
Chen Han fell silent. Ming Ye and Luo Shi grimaced as they called Xie Lan since Fang Wen is still occupied by their disciple.
”Junior Brother Xie.”
