The Scum Is Ruthless

The demonic qi dissipated and they got a clearer view of the Youxiwang Sect. They saw the Youxiwang sect disciples fighting against the people in black robes, their whole bodies covered up. They were leaping on the boats in the lake, chasing the disciples to kill them.

Chen Han, Sun Yi, and Wu Yuan immediately flew to help their fellow disciples. They counterattacked. "Xiao Yin. Xiao Sheng. Help them. But, also pay attention for your safety." Xie Lan told them. "I'll find the Chen patriarch and the elders of the sect." he said as he closed his eyes and his body began to glow. The demonic qi evaded him.

"Yes, founder!" they answered as they leaped down the boat and killed the black-clothed people that passed by them. Even if this is the first time Cheng Sheng killed a living person in this world, since he had only killed corpses before, he had no psychological problems. After all, he is a transmigrator. The people in his eyes are passersby, as he is also a passerby to them. Thus, he started a killing frenzy.

"What – ah!" another black-clothes person screamed as Cheng Sheng leaped on the boat and killed him.

"Second young master!" the Youxiwang sect disciple exclaimed after he saved him. He is the only second young master since Wu Yuan had no siblings, so there was no other person to be called 'second young master' except him – ah. He meant the original owner of this body.

Cheng Sheng nodded at him. "Look after yourself. Don't overestimate yourself." He told him.

"What about you, second young master?" the disciple asked.

"I have my martial arts." Cheng Sheng answered as he leaped to another boat and stabbed the enemy. He doesn't need to use his golden core. And, he doesn't dare use it. The process of him gaining a golden core is illustrious. He doesn't know its effect if he'd really use it. Thus, he's maximizing his martial arts and sword skills right now. "Hah!" he said as he flipped in the air and landed on the back of the black-clothes person. Then, he put his sword on his neck. "Who are you? Where did you come from and why are you attacking the Youxiwang Sect?" he asked.

The person beneath his feet turned his head to look at him. "Xinfaxian Sect?!" he exclaimed when he saw the sect uniform and the jade pendant of Cheng Sheng. "Why are you here?! We already sealed the array – "

"As if you can stop a genius like me." Cheng Sheng smirked as he kicked the back on the person's head. It hit the roof and blood appeared from his exposed forehead. "Why are you attacking the Youxiwang Sect?" he asked again. "Don't make me say it the third time." He said as he stabbed the person's leg.

"AAHH!" the person screamed. "We heard that Wu Fan is missing. We used this chance to attack them – " he explained and cried when Cheng Sheng stepped on his wound.

The Youxiwang sect disciple stared in horror as he watched the blood pour down from the boat's roof. He realizes that Cheng Sheng is ruthless despite his innocent appearance. "Where is Wu Fan?" Cheng Sheng asked.

"I don't know! We're not the ones who took him!" the person answered as he tried to struggle but Cheng Sheng stabbed his shoulder, pinning him on the roof with the sword.

Chen Han, Sun Yi, and Wu Yuan watched Cheng Sheng in horror. Seeing them arrive, the enemies retreated. However, just when they turned they saw Cheng Sheng mercilessly stabbed the last person of their enemies. Sun Yi and Wu Yuan turned to Chen Han whose face was pale as he watched his younger brother. Fei Yin, not far from them, his expression is serious as he looks at Cheng Sheng. "Fei-shidi." Sun Yi silently called Fei Yin who was also standing on the roof of the boat like them. "Has Chen-shidi…" he said, didn't continue when he saw Chen Han close his eyes as Cheng Sheng finally killed the enemy. They understood. If they saw their younger brother who they carefully raised killed someone in front of them, they might have reacted worse than Chen Han did. But, they also understood. Cheng Sheng had been away for 10 years. They didn't know how Cheng Sheng grew up in Xinfaxian.

But – their face went serious. They know that the Xinfaxian Sect is not ruthless. Instead, they are peaceful people who had no conflicts. Then, how did Cheng Sheng become like this? They looked at Fei Yin who flew towards Cheng Sheng. When Fei Yin landed on the safe roof as Cheng Sheng, blood splattered and stained his shoes and the hem of his robes. However, he didn't care. Instead, it was the disciple on the boat who violently reacted. He vomited and immediately fled away from the boat.

"Shidi." Fei Yin called as he expressionlessly watched Cheng Sheng kick away the enemy's corpse. The corpse fell into the calm lake and sank.

Chen Han, Sun Yi, and Wu Yuan speechlessly watched Fei Yin personally wipe the blood off Cheng Sheng's hands and face, not mindful of the blood on his body. He cared for Cheng Sheng first than himself. Fei Yin took out a Cleaning Talisman and pasted it on Cheng Sheng's clothes. Then, to the roof. The roof was immediately cleaned and the talisman disappeared. The roof looked like there was nothing bloody that has happened on it. The proof that there was are the holes on the roof made by Cheng Sheng's sword. The only unclean left is Fei Yin who has still blood on his clothes and shoes.

"Da shixiong. Were you alright?" Cheng Sheng asked Fei Yin. Even though he is suspicious of Fei Yin's intentions towards him, he can't be not concerned about Fei Yin. He easily forgot that Fei Yin cleaned his clothes first before Fei Yin could clean himself.

"I'm alright." Fei Yin answered and smiled when he saw Cheng Sheng's brows knit, looking at his clothes stained with blood. Then, Cheng Sheng took out a Cleaning Talisman to clean Fei Yin's clothes. Fei Yin felt warmth in his heart. His eyes looking Cheng Sheng filled with gentleness.

Chen Han, Sun Yi, and Wu Yuan's face became blank. The two before them are too bright they were blinded. Sun Yi took out a Moving Talisman and pasted it on the boat to make their boat move towards Fei Yin and Cheng Sheng's boat. "Chen-shidi. Fei-shidi." Sun Yi called. He knew that Wu Yuan was taciturn while Chen Han's heart was still wounded by what he saw earlier, so the two couldn't call the Xinfaxian sect disciples.

Cheng Sheng and Fei Yin turned. Then, they made their sword turn into jade pendants. Cheng Sheng's sword tied itself to his waistband. They greeted the three before them. "Wu-shixiong." Cheng Sheng called as he turned to Wu Yuan. "The enemies just now knew sect leader Wu is missing. However, they don't know where he is." He said. "They only took the opportunity of sect leader Wu's absence to attack your sect." he explained.

Chen Han's face turned ugly while Sun Yi's face froze. Wu Yuan balled his fist and took a deep breath to calm himself. He nodded at Cheng Sheng, grateful. "Many thanks, Chen-shidi." He said and bowed.

Cheng Sheng nodded and smiled. Now, they knew that Cheng Sheng extracted information from the enemy that's why he prolonged the enemy's life earlier. They, on the other side, were hot-tempered earlier. They felt ashamed.

Fei Yin spoke. "We have to do something about this demonic qi." He said and narrowed his eyes as he took out a Cleansing Talisman.

They turned and looked at the demonic qi around them. "My Cleansing Talisman will all be consumed, yet the demonic qi will still be there." Cheng Sheng said. He meant that the amount of his Cleansing Talisman wasn't enough to deal with the demonic qi in the air.

Chen Han sighed. "Let's find the elders first and then talk." He said. They nodded and boarded their sword. However, they noticed that Cheng Sheng didn't take out his sword. "Ah Sheng." Chen Han called. "Won't you use your sword to fly?" he asked, puzzled. They knew that Cheng Sheng has now his golden core.

Cheng Sheng frowned. How to deal with this? He thought and felt the burning pit in his stomach. It's eager to be used. However, Cheng Sheng doesn't want to. "Are you being lazy again?" Fei Yin spoke. Cheng Sheng turned to him. Fei Yin also looked at him. Their eyes talked.

Cheng Sheng smiled. "Yes, da shixiong." He said and pulled Fei Yin's sleeve. "Carry me?" he asked and cutely smiled.

Fei Yin looked at him. "Oh~?" Sun Yi said, his smile is meaningful. Wu Yuan's face just remained cold.

Chen Han frowned. "Ah Sheng. Stop being spoiled." He told Cheng Sheng.

But, Cheng Sheng ignored him and boarded Fei Yin's sword after Fei Yin made his sword bigger, enough for two people to ride on. Chen Han helplessly sighed. Then, they flew towards the top of the pagoda, where the demonic qi is the densest.

Xie Lan frowned as he swung his sleeves to deflect the demonic qi that the enemy used to attack. His eyes fell on Luo Shi and Ming Ye who are using their qi to purify their body from the demonic qi. The other elders are worse. Their body started to turn sallow. Then, he looked at Chen Jing who was surrounded by a barrier.

"Xie-shidi!" Chen Jing called as he punched the barrier. However, it didn't break. "Ming-xiong! Luo-xiong!" he called. They were caught off-guard by the enemies that used the demonic qi to attack them. Ming Ye and Luo Shi were hit by the demonic qi. They immediately pushed Chen Jing to the barrier to save him. "Xie-shidi! Leave!" Chen Jing told Xie Lan.
