Chapter 426 - The Scum Is Tense
Wu Ran naturally saw the light in the Millennium Ship and he was enraged. Are they all underestimating him? Is Cheng Sheng looking down on him? He thought as his bloodshot eyes ominously glowered. Does he think that because he managed to escape from death after I attacked him, he can escape for the second time? He gnashed his teeth as he punched Wu Yuan and kicked Sun Yi in the head. Then, he swung his sword at Chen Han and almost sliced Chen Han into two if not for Ho Yue pulling him back and Fei Lin intercepting him with an attack.
Cheng Sheng… don't underestimate me! You all shouldn't underestimate me! "AAARRRRHHH!!!" he roared as the demonic qi around him once again thickened just when Zheng Fu Gong, Chen Jing, Xie Lan, Jing Rui and Qian Tian managed to thin it earlier, making it easier for Chen Han, Wu Yuan, Sun Yi, Ho Yue and Fei Lin to come nearer to Wu Ran and increase the damage of their attacks on him.
"Dodge!" Ho Yue shouted as he flew away. Fei Lin followed after him.
Chen Han, Wu Yuan and Sun Yi immediately reacted as they pulled each other to dodge Wu Ran's attack.
"Wait!" Sun Yi cried. "It's fake! He's aiming for Cheng-shidi!" he said as Wu Yuan pulled him away, farther from the range of Wu Ran's attack.
It isn't a lie. Wu Ran really faked his attack and seized the opportunity that the five people flew away, giving them no time to react.
"Not good!" Fei Lin said.
Chen Han's eyes narrowed as he flew after Wu Ran, wanting to stop him.
"You think you can stop me?" Wu Ran asked even though he didn't turn to Chen Han.
Chen Han heard Wu Ran's question and his heart skipped a beat, having an ill foreboding feeling. "Get back!" he yelled at the four others who flew after them.
Wu Yuan, Sun Yi, Ho Yue and Fei Lin immediately stopped, but it was useless as they were still reached by Wu Ran who shot attacked them backhandedly. "AAAAHHH!!!" they screamed as they were hit, feeling their bodies fell from the sky and hit the ground hard.
"UGH!" Chen Han grunted when he hit the ground. He couldn't even spat out a mouthful of blood because he felt he couldn't move his body which bore the brunt of Wu Ran's attack as he was the nearest to Wu Ran because he followed him.
"AGH!" the others cried when they fell on the ground.
Xi Ling, Gong Xian, Xi Ming, Xi Xing, Feng Mo, Lei Qing, Shu Mu, Xiao Le and Kang Ce were stunned because of the fast change of the events.
"LINNN!!!" Xi Ling screamed as he flew towards where Fei Lin and the others fell after taking the sudden attack of Wu Ran.
"UNCLE!" Xi Ming cried as he and Xi Xing flew after Xi Ling.
Gong Xian finally recovered from his shock and he shot towards Ho Yue whose body is twitching on the ground which turned into a dark color after being soaked by his blood. "SHIFU!!!" he called.
Feng Mo, Lei Qing, Shu Mu, Xiao Le and Kang Ce finally returned to their senses and saw Li Tian was already flying to Chen Han.
"CHEN HAN!!!" Li Tian cried.
"Shixiong!" Feng Mo called before he and Lei Qing followed Li Tian.
Shu Mu, Xiao Le and Kang Ce didn't care whether Wu Ran would attack them, too, and flew after the others, wanting to come to aid them the most.
"FCK!" Guo Cheng cursed when he finally reacted after they saw Chen Han and the others were blasted away.
They were placed to guard the Millennium Ship after Chen Han and the others replaced Zheng Fu Gong's group of five and the Millennium Ship descended on the ground, which then when Cheng Sheng made his appearance. Although Chen Han and the others were occupying Wu Ran's time and attention, but it isn't bad to prepare for the worst.
And the worst really came. They guessed right that Wu Ran would really come for Cheng Sheng.
"EVERYONE!!! WU RAN IS COMMINNGGG!!!" he shouted.
The attention of the people in the Millennium Ship has long been caught when they heard a big explosion. Guo Cheng's shout roused them up from their shock.
Fan Wen and Wu Fan immediately flew out of the ship to intercept Wu Ran halfway. They can't allow him to get near the ship! They can't allow him to kill Cheng Sheng! And Zheng Fu Gong, Chen Jing, Xie Lan, Jing Rui and Qian Tian are still healing! Cheng Sheng and Su Yuan are in the middle of healing the group of five!
"Out of the way!" Pai Lie said.
Fan Wen and Wu Fan didn't turn, but they really flew to the side. Then, they saw a flash of light shot past between them and charged towards Wu Ran! "That's – " they muttered and looked at each other as they flew.
Then, everyone saw the light scattered and formed a giant array, trapping Wu Ran!
"If you're in a hurry to die, then I'll grant your wish!" Pai Lie said as he jumped off of the ship and landed on the ground. Then, he walked towards the trapped Wu Ran!
"Elder Pai!" Fan Wen and Jing Rui called.
"You two stay here. If I'll fall…" Pai Lie's voice is low. "Then, you're still here. If you also fall, then there are still Tang Teng and the others." He took a deep breath. "Just don't ever let him go near the ship. At least, hold on and wait for Zheng Fu Gong and the others." He told them before he entered the cage made from arrays that he trapped Wu Ran with.
"ELDER PAI!!!" their eyes widened as they stared at Pai Lie, shocked.
"Don't worry. He can't harm me in my domain." Pai Lie assured them as he calmly faced Wu Ran.
"You think so?" Wu Ran asked and punched one of the walls of the cage.
The wall rippled and the whole cage shook. But, it didn't break.
Wu Ran's brows shot up and he grinned at Pai Lie. "Interesting." He said. "I am really curious as to how your arrays work. Let me practice with you so that I can be more prepared for Cheng Sheng's petty tricks later!" he said as he shot towards Pai Lie.
"It is my honor, then, to teach you." Pai Lie scoffed as he teleported just as Wu Ran arrived in front of him.
Fan Wen and Wu Fan watched this another battle of attrition. Wu Ran's power is immeasurable. It only needs one attack of him to land on Pai Lie and Pai Lie will definitely die. This is one of the disadvantages of being a mage: their physical strength is low. Pai Lie naturally knows this so he uses teleportation to dodge Wu Ran's attack.
It is a question of who is faster between them. Will Wu Ran hit Pai Lie first, or Pai Lie could dodge faster? They wanted to continue watching to find out, when their attention was caught by the incoming people flying towards their way.
"Yuan-er!!!" Wu Fan exclaimed when he saw Kang Ce is carrying Wu Yuan.
Gong Xian is carrying Ho Yue. Xi Ling and Xi Ming are carrying Fei Lin. Feng Mo and Lei Qing are carrying Sun Yi while Shu Mu and Xiao Le are carrying Sun Yi. The five of them are gravely injured and unconscious.
"Go to the ship first!" Fan Wen reacted.
Gong Xian doesn't need to be told as he flew past Fan Wen and Wu Fan, not even pausing in the slightest.
"Go!" Fan Wen urged the dumbstruck disciples.
They immediately moved and together with Fan Wen and Wu Fan, they boarded the Millennium Ship.
"Cheng-shidi!" Feng Mo and Lei Qing exclaimed when they saw the awake Cheng Sheng.
"Li-shixiong! Feng-shixiong! Shijie!" You Rou called as she wiped her hands. She just finished decocting potions. "The other patients, place them here." she instructed as she moved the table with the medicines and bandages with the help of Lei Ling and Jing Kang.
"Let us help!" Jing Bai, Jing Hei and Qian Lin spoke.
The Huakai Sect are still outside the ship guarding and feel tense as they closely watched Pai Lie fight against Wu Ran.
"Yuan-er!" Wu Yuang cried when he saw his grandson.
"Han-er!" Chen Fu cried when he saw Chen Han lying beside Wu Yuan and Sun Yi.
"Treat them first!" You Rou reminded them.
Li Tian felt very worried and anxiously watched them treat Chen Han. Then, he glanced at Cheng Sheng's side. "Healing Array…" he muttered. But – he thought when he saw Su Yuan behind Cheng Sheng. Cheng-shidi… he bit his lower lip. I must do my best, too! He thought and clenched his fists. "I'll make another Healing Array!" he said.
They can't waste any second!
