"You don't know who?" Cheng Sheng asked Lei Ling, surprised. He stared at Lei Ling's face and saw that Lei Ling isn't acting. What would it be for him to act?
"Why, Cheng-shixiong? Is there a problem?" Lei Ling asked when he saw Cheng Sheng's strange expression.
He can't understand. This is the first ti Cheng Sheng boarded the Millennium Ship. Even if there is sothing he is curious or has a problem about, it shouldn't be the chair that he should ask, should he? He thought. Or, is there sothing special with the chair? He looked at the chair. But, it's just a block of wood…
If Cheng Sheng could read Lei Ling's mind, he would say that it isn't the object that is special, but the person using the object. Unfortunately, he doesn't know of Lei Ling's thoughts, and that he can't rember who is this person for him to call him special.
This isn't the special kind for a lover, not even for a family mber. The strange thing is, he thinks that this person couldn't even be called a friend. More like an acquaintance, but he still feels it isn't, either. Then, what was his relationship with the person? He knows in his heart he didn't cheat in Fei Yin. So, who could this person be? What is he exactly to him?
Cheng Sheng felt a headache. This weird feeling, unexpectedly, he doesn't find it annoying. Usually, if he finds sothing is buggering him, if he still couldn't find an answer for it or resolve it, then he'd just give up. Yet, this ti, he finds that he wanted to know more… he's really beco weird.
He sighed, then smiled at Lei Ling. "It's nothing. I just suddenly felt dizzy and doesn't know what I am talking about…" he explained.
Lei Ling imdiately felt worried. "Then, Cheng-shixiong, you should rest. You just woke up, and even made so much dicine." He said. "Not to ntion…" his voice abruptly was cut. He looked at Cheng Sheng and looked guilty.
How can Cheng Sheng not understand? He could feel it. His cultivation has dropped to Golden Core Stage. Before, his cultivation reached Nascent Soul Stage. But, right now, he dropped to mid-level Golden Core Stage. In fact, this isn't bad. A normal disciple would have to spend at least fifty to a hundred years to reach the Golden Core Stage. And, it's just one stage his cultivation has dropped so it isn't that worse.
But, Cheng Sheng knows what is Lei Ling worried about. Not that he's beco equal to Lei Ling's and You Rou's cultivation level, but because Cheng Sheng would feel uncomfortable when he'd face the other disciples who were participants to the Intersect Competition that had gone through life and death with him. After all, he had cared so much about his face.
Yet, right now, Cheng Sheng felt unperturbed. He even felt like he could joke with Jing Cheng, Xi Ming and the others about this matter. He has really beco weird. Is this an effect of Fei Yin's death? Most likely.
"Shixiong…" Lei Ling called.
"It's fine." Cheng Sheng said. To appease him, he told him the standard answer by the depressed people every ti other people asked them if they were fine. "I have to do sothing to distract myself. Otherwise, I'll just wallow more in…" he said.
Lei Ling imdiately reacted. "T-then Cheng-shixiong, you continue! Be careful not to tire yourself out!" he said and ran away to escape.
A faint smile appeared on Cheng Sheng's face, but there's no sense of joy in it. Usually, to pass the ti and to feel amused, he would usually tease Lei Ling. But, even this, he can't feel anything from it. He's getting weirder.
He sighed, then picked up so herbs to start making a new batch of dicines. It's not wrong to have more than less.
…
Li Tian watched the battle, feeling very helpless. When will Wu Ran die? He thought as he looked at the still unconscious Chen Han. He clenched his fists. Wu Ran made Chen Han like this… what exactly did he do to Chen Han? He thought and touched the array he made to recover Chen Han's health, and purify his body from any demonic qi in it. Yet, Chen Han still hasn't woken up.
He sighed and looked at his hands. Have I beco useless? He thought as his eyes reddened. I can't fight properly. I can't help Cheng-shidi. Now – he thought as he lowered his head and his tears fell. – I can't even help the man I love.
Suddenly, he felt soone touched his cheek and wiped his tears away.
…
"Ugh!" Zheng Fu Gong grunted in pain and spat out a mouthful of blood after Wu Ran kicked him in the stomach.
"Tchhh – " Wu Ran suddenly hissed.
Jing Rui grabbed the mont he landed a hit on Zheng Fu Gong and Jing Rui swung his sword at his chest. He imdiately pulled his body back to avoid the attack but Jing Rui's sword still reached him. Xie Lan and Chen Jing aren't idle, either as they followed up with their attacks. Qian Tian acted as their support. They didn't give him a mont to breathe.
But, it looks like the opportunity ca.
"Elder Zheng!" Qian Tian called and pulled Zheng Fu Gong back when he suddenly staggered and his neck was almost sliced off by Wu Ran.
Chen Jing and Xie Lan montarily paused, and Wu Ran imdiately took the opportunity to attack them instead!
"Crap - !" Chen Jing cursed and as he and Xie Lan prepared themselves to be hit.
"Move away!" Jing Rui yelled as he gritted his teeth and gathered all of his power to counter Wu Ran's attack!
"AAAAARRRHH!!!" they all scread as they were blown away because of the impact.
Even Zheng Fu Gong and Qian Tian who just retreated were reached by the colliding attacks!
"CHEN JING!!!" Wu Fan cried.
"LAN!!!" Fan Wen called.
"BROTHERRRR!!!" Xi Ling and Qian Lin scread.
"UNCLEEEE!!!" Jing Cheng, Jing Bai and Jing Hei cried.
Ho Yue imdiately reacted. "HURRY AND TREAT THEM!!!" he yelled.
"YES!" the righteous cultivators answered.
Pai Lie rushed towards Zheng Fu Gong who was lying beside Qian Tian. "Zheng Fu Gong!" he called as he imdiately fed him so dicine.
"Elder Zheng!" Su Yuan called and imdiately treated Zheng Fu Gong's external wounds.
Although the five people were gravely injured, but Wu Ran wasn't uninjured, either. Wu Ran's figure staggered. But, although he was injured, but no one can tell how much, since he is still standing.
Everyone's faces imdiately turned grim. "How is elder Zheng?" Tang Teng asked.
Su Yuan shook his head. "His body can't keep up with his power." He sighed.
"I'm sorry…" Zheng Fu Gong's hoarse voice spoke.
"Just rest, damn it." Pai Lie cursed and slapped his forehead for him to close his eyes.
Zheng Yi, silently watching on the side, suddenly felt complicated after seeing his grandfather was hit. No one has ever hit Zheng Fu Gong, except Pai Lie. But, since the others were focused on the ongoing battle, none of them thought sothing weird with Pai Lie and Zheng Fu Gong.
Because Jing Rui was the nearest, he was the one who received the brunt of the impact of the colliding attacks. Chen Jing and Xie Lan were next. Added with their injuries during these three days, now, the three of them are unconscious.
"What do we do?" Li Nanzi asked as he, Tang Teng, Chen Fu and Wu Yang together with Fei Lin stood in front of the others to protect them in case Wu Ran suddenly attacks. But, looks like Wu Ran was also heavily injured since he's not moving, which gave them a mont to breathe to rest. "Is there any other who can bear Wu Ran's attacks?" he asked.
"Fan Wen, Wu Fan, Fei Lin, Xi Ling and Ho Yue might." Tang Teng answered.
"But, right now – " Chen Fu frowned and turned.
" – Fan Wen, Wu Fan and Xi Ling are too distracted." Wu Yang said as he looked at his son, Wu Fan, crying over the unconscious Chen Jing while Fan Wen was pouring all the potions that he has inside Xie Lan's mouth, but his hands are shaking.
Jing Cheng had frozen all over, stunned as he looked at Jing Rui. It was Jing Bai and Jing Hei who treated Jing Rui. Qian Lin treated Qian Tian.
"So, only Fei Lin and Ho Yue can currently fight." Tang Teng sighed.
Fei Lin wanted to avenge his uncle while Ho Yue can make up the number.
Tang Teng turned and looked at Xi Ming, Xi Xing and Shu Mu, as well as Feng Mo and Lei Qing. They are too young to fight against Wu Ran. Now that Cheng Sheng's cultivation has dropped, even if he is awake, he will definitely die if he fights Wu Ran. Fei Yin might have a chance, but…
He sighed. "Who should fight him next? Do we have to step in - ?" he asked, but he was cut off by a voice.
"."
Everyone turned, then they were stunned when they saw who it is!
