The Scum Is A

"BLEAURGH!" some righteous cultivators who have a lower forbearance at the sight vomited at the gruesome scene of Wu Ran eating a demonic cultivator's heart.

Those who continued to look at Wu Ran didn't lower their guard to not miss a single action of his because they feared he might suddenly attack them again earlier. So, they endured the nausea as they watched him eat the demonic cultivator's heart. There was already blood in his hands and more blood spilled onto his hands as blood spilled after he tore the heart of the demonic cultivator that is still beating in his hand with his canines.

"UGH!" the disciples who have seen less of the world immediately looked away as their faces turned green when they saw Wu Ran ate the heart. They felt more nauseous because the rustic smell of the blood can still be smelled from this distance.

It just shows how gruesome what is currently happening.

"No… we can't let him continue!" Zheng Fu Gong said.

"Of course, we can't!" the other righteous cultivators, who can't bear the gruesome sight, agreed.

Zheng Fu Gong has other ideas. "This demonic cultivation… he might be eating the other cultivators' hearts to absorb their cultivation and increase his power!" he said.

The others who finally realized it have a colorful expression on their faces when they realized the gravity of the situation. "STOP HIM!!!" they shouted.

"YES!!!" the other cultivators roared and attacked.

Zheng Fu Gong, Jing Rui, Qian Tian, Chen Jing and Wu Fan moved. Xie Lan and Fan Wen, after they have been attacked by Wu Ran because they have carelessly lowered their guard, immediately acted.

"Xiao Ling. Take Fei Lin away. Fan, let's go!" Xie Lan said.

"Yes!" they answered.

Ho Yue watched them leave as he silently analyzed the situation. "Now that the Heilong Realm is gone, Wu Ran doesn't have reinforcements. The flow of the demonic qi from the Heilong Realm naturally has stopped. He can only absorb the demonic qi, as well as the negative qi, that remained in the Huilong. And also absorb the cultivation of the remaining demonic cultivators by eating their heart." He said. His expression is serious as he watched the grave battle happening before him. "Gong Xian. Relay the message to former sect leader Qian and the others who are injured, but can still fight." He turned to Gong Xian. "Tell them that there are two ways to stop Wu Ran: fight him directly, or kill the demonic cultivators before he could and take their heart. Since elder Zheng, sect leader Jing, sect leader Qian, the Chen patriarch, former sect leader Wu, sect leader Xie and elder Fan are now fighting against Wu Ran, then, tell them to take care of the demonic cultivators." He told him.

"Yes." Gong Xian nodded, indicating he understood. "What about shifu?" he asked and stared at him, as if he won't hesitate to stay if Ho Yue will be in danger.

"I'll be fine." Ho Yue waved his hand. Seeing that Gong Xian is still staring at him, he helplessly smiled. He pointed Wu Yuan and Sun Yi fighting against the demonic cultivators afar together with the Huakai Sect. "I'll be assisting them in killing the demonic cultivators." He said, then paused. To not worry him, he added. "After you relay the message, then come back and assist me." He told him.

As expected, Gong Xian's tensed expression eased. "I'll immediately return." He told him before he flew to the direction of Qian Shan, Qian Su, Shu Ji, Tang Teng and Li Nanzi who have gathered to protect Qian Shan and Shu Ji whose cultivations have been greatly damaged after they self-destructed before.

Qian Shan, Qian Su and Shu Ji survived because Mu Jun and Fei Huang, who have been escaping to Heilong Realm, passed by and took them away, then healed and hid them in a safe place before they resumed their travel to Heilong Realm. They couldn't stop them, even Qian Su who was still conscious, because they were all spent and are truly exhausted.

"This is really getting crazier!" Shu Ji said as he cut down a demonic cultivator.

Although his cultivation was badly damaged because he was heavily poisoned by the Nuhuo Pills, but he still has his martial arts to back him up, so he can easily defeat these measly demonic cultivators that are Wu Ran's henchmen. Fortunately, when Fei Huang and Mu Jun saved him, Qian Shan and Qian Su, they suppressed the poison for him to survive longer. Then, when Shu Mu finally found him along with Qian Shan and Qian Su, Shu Mu gave him the Cleansing Meridian Pills which are the antidote Cheng Sheng made for Shu Mu before because Shu Mu was also poisoned by the Nuhuo Pills.

"Never would have imagined this gruesome method of the demonic cultivators by eating one's heart, until I saw it." Shu Ji said. Unlike his gloomy and bad temper attitude before when he was poisoned, he returned to his talkative personality after he made clear-headed by the Cleansing Meridian Pills.

"Yes." Qian Shan nodded in agreement. His expression is grave as he watched Wu Ran be interrupted by Zheng Fu Gong, Pai Lie, Jing Rui, Xie Lan, Qian Tian and Chen Jing from eating the heart that he has just dug out from a demonic cultivator.

Meanwhile Fan Wen and Wu Fan immediately destroyed the heart and resumed killing the demonic cultivators along with Feng Mo, Lei Qing, Wu Yuan, Sun Yi, the Huakai Sect disciples, Jing Cheng, Jing Bai, Jing Hei, Qian Lin, Ho Yue, Xi Ming and Xi Xing and Gong Xian who has just returned and joined them.

"Elder Zheng and elder Ho are right. We have to either kill Wu Ran first, or eliminate all the demonic cultivators." Qian Su said.

"But… Wu Ran can still survive even under attack by Zheng Fu Gong, Pai Lie, Jing Rui, Xie Lan, Chen Jing and Tian-er." Qian Shan sighed.

"That's because he has been cultivating as a ghost for a long time, and then was reincarnated." Shu Ji frowned. "If he remained as a ghost, he can be easily killed. But, he just had to have a vessel, be reincarnated…" he sighed.

"Elder Zheng, elder Pai, sect leader Jing, sect leader Xie, the Chen patriarch and xiao Tian aren't at their peak, either." Qian Su spoke as she watched the battle afar. They have eliminated the demonic cultivators in their area as they talked.

Li Nanzhi and Tang Teng were silently listening to them talk. "They can't simultaneously attack." Tang Teng spoke.

They turned to him.

"With their level of cultivation, if they attacked at the same time, even just for eliminating Wu Ran, but they will also injure not only themselves, but the others would also get caught in the impact." Tang Teng explained.

"You have a point." The three said.

Li Nanzhi killed the last demonic cultivator in the area before he turned to Kang Ce who was silently killing on the side. "You go help Xiao Le, Shu Mu, and that Xinfaxian Sect spell caster." He told him.

The Xinfaxian Sect spell caster he is referring to is Li Tian – the only spell caster in the Xinfaxian Sect. But, Li Tian didn't dare use spells since it will heavily consume his qi. Although he is just average in sword, but it still enough to deal against the demonic cultivators attacking them.

"Watch out!" Shu Mu shouted before he threw a dagger to the demonic cultivators that crept behind Li Tian and Xiao Le.

"Thanks, Mu-ge!" Xiao Le said before he snapped the head of the demonic cultivator.

Li Tian stabbed the demonic cultivator before he turned to check Chen Han, only for his eyes to widen in shock when he saw that a demonic cultivator was trying to kill the unconscious Chen Han! "No!" he cried. "Chen Han – " he called.

CLANG! The sound of the swords clashing was heard. Kang Ce has arrived and immediately killed the two demonic cultivators! "Are you alright?" he asked them.

"Thanks." Shu Mu said.

Li Tian sighed in relief and immediately checked Chen Han's body.

Kang Ce nodded at Shu Mu, then awkwardly smiled at Xiao Le before he turned to Li Tian. "It's better to place a barrier around him, just in case there's another sneak attack." He frowned as he looked at the corpses of the demonic cultivators on the ground.

"But, my qi…" Li Tian hesitated.

"I'll replace you as the guard. You'll be the backup, so just create a barrier for him." Kang Ce said. "That way, if the three of us can't finally deal against the enemies and you have to step up, then you won't be worried for him to be killed while everyone's busy." He explained.

They can't bring Chen Han back to the Millennium Ship like Fei Yin and Cheng Sheng since the battle is reaching a crucial stage, and the demonic cultivators became more alert.

Li Tian nodded. "Thank you." He said, then turned to face Chen Han before he closed his eyes and raised his hands to cast an array as a barrier.
