Chapter 568 - The Scum Is A Lunatic
Displacement is also teleportation. But, not only this isn't done using an array, the place where you will teleport to could be random, or specific if the distance you want to teleport is very short. This is very effective to use when you were caught off-guard and couldn't react fast enough.
Displacement is actually a spell, which anyone can use thus it is more convenient. But, you also have to be careful since if used improperly, especially that you will use it on yourself. You have to be sure that it won't backfire on you.
"Such a pity that I haven't seen Er Zi used this before. Instead, he also taught this to others but I have yet to see him use this himself." Cheng Sheng sighed.
The others who heard what he said. "…" wasn't this because this is useless even if it is used against you?! They thought.
Cheng Sheng is, after all, the one who knows the Displacement Spell the most and, even if he won't catch his disciple us it, he can always use many methods to counter it, which they all are very sure Cheng Sheng has already came up with as soon as he created this spell.
"Ke Lu is really out of luck since the disciples actually have this trick up their sleeves." Shu Mu grinned evilly as they all watched Qi Lan reversed his and Ke Lu's situation.
The others laughed and agreed.
…
Ke Lu was very shocked, for not only his signature move was blocked, the hunter and prey also changed. He also still hasn't recovered his senses when he saw that the other disciples have appeared along with Jin Yu.
For the first time, Xi He didn't attack Wu Tie and cooperated with him. Xi Bing has already 'disciplined' Xi He after that time when Xi He almost exposed his secret of being secretly in love with Fei Huo. Though, Xi He still remained puzzled about this since Xi He can't see what's with Fei Huo that attracted Xi Bing. Furthermore, Fei Huo is an airhead. Xi Bing actually likes this type?
Thinking this, Xi He glanced at Xi Bing before he looked away. Meanwhile, the others didn't have any complicated thoughts like Xi He and they looked at the cornered Ke Lu. Qian Jue and Qian Meng glared at Ke Lu and looked like they wanted to kill him. But, of course, they know that they can't since Ke Lu is also a participant, and that he is not worth it for them to dirty their hands.
"Ha. So, you are finally ganging up on me?" Ke Lu sneered as he looked at each one of them.
"Why did you attack Lu Xiu, Ning Zhe, and the other participants?" Wu Lian asked even though they already know the answer.
But, Ke Lu doesn't know that they already know his identity. "Aren't we all fighting? So, what's wrong with fighting?" he asked them.
"Lunatic." Zhu Xi rolled his eyes.
He isn't just a lunatic, but also a spy. The others added in their minds.
"What? We aren't fighting?" Ke Lu asked, trying to provoke them. "You think I am scared with all of you coming at me together? Bring it on, cowards!" he shouted.
"Fck. You're dead!" Xi He cursed as he jumped out and rushed towards Ke Lu with hiss word raised.
Ke Lu grinned, feeling triumphant after he provoked one of them. He immediately reached out his claw, going for a kill, thinking that Xi He is the usual ill-tempered type of person whose anger instantly rushes into his head after provoked.
But, who is Xi He? Although he doesn't have a good personality, he is still a Shanliangde Sect disciple! Xi He's eyes sharpened when he saw Ke Lu's hand moved and he immediately dropped his body that turned to the side and slid on the ground, moving towards Ke Lu's legs!
Ke Lu's eyes widened, shocked by how fast Xi He moved. He immediately leaped back, only for Xi He to suddenly turn his body that rose and raised his sword! Ke Lu can't help but inwardly curse as he drew his sword to block Xi He's fast attack!
"He's good!" the audience exclaimed in surprise, didn't expect that Xi He is actually this strong!
Sun Yu heard the audience's comments and he can't help but sigh in relief. Xi He is also strong as an individual. He was just eclipsed by Fei Luo and Sun Yan, not to mention Xi Bing who is the same clan as him. Xi He also has been focused on targeting Wu Tie thus he had never the opportunity to display his real skills.
"Was Xi Shi like this before?" Fei Lin asked Xi Ling when they dropped by the venue and took a peek.
"Yes." Xi Ling nodded. "He was blinded by envy. That was how their grandfather, my uncle raised them." he frowned when he remembered Xi Peng.
"It isn't too late for Xi He." Fei Lin said.
Xi Ling smiled and watched as Xi Bing joined the fray after Xi He flew away to retreat, according to their plan. "He has learned how to integrate with the others." He said before he and Fei Lin left.
…
Ke Lu gnashed his teeth in anger when Xi Bing replaced Xi He. This guy looked simple but in fact, it is those simple-looking people whom you should never underestimate! Ke Lu could feel that Xi Bing is targeting his vital points with each attack. Unlike Xi He's straightforward attacks, Xi Bing's attacks are covert so the others didn't notice it.
If Ke Lu himself didn't notice, he must have already toppled since earlier! His anger about to reach its peak, he advanced towards Xi Bing. But, who would expect that someone would replace Xi Bing at that moment? He can only withdraw his attack while avoiding the incoming heavy but fast sword of Jing Xu.
"Ooh! That was close! Why did they withdraw and change again?" the audience asked, feeling confused as they watched Jing Xu was replaced by Jing De next after a few bouts.
"Haha." A laugh escape from Cheng Sheng's lips which he immediately covered with a cough.
The elders looked at him. "What are they planning this time?" they asked him.
"They aren't just planning to make Ke Lu exhausted, right?" Qian Tian asked.
"En." Cheng Sheng nodded. "They are also trying to throw off Ke Lu's momentum. See?" he said and pointed.
Everyone turned and saw that there was another change. Jing De was replaced by Zhu Xi just as Ke Lu was about to use his clawing move that can 'poison' the participants. This poison really isn't a poison, but just a technique that disrupts one's meridians so the flow of qi would become chaotic, making the person vomit blood every hour and gradually lose strength. Their pulse also would interchangeably become erratic and slow. Thus, they would think they were poisoned.
But, Cheng Sheng is confident that Cui Xiang can figure this out, since one of the basic things he taught her before is the flow of qi in one's body and the illnesses that are related to it. Cui Xiang didn't disappoint since she really has solved the 'poison'ed participants.
"Also, it is not just Ke Lu's momentum." Cheng Sheng continued.
"Huh? There's more?" they were surprised.
"They are trying to figure out Ke Lu's 'trick' after they increased the distance, using their change as a cover." Fei Yin explained.
Everyone's eyes widened in shock. "There is also this method?!" they exclaimed and looked at the disciples.
"Should I say this is a clever move of theirs, or…" Tang Zhe muttered.
"Just use the 'clever', please." Cheng Sheng immediately said since he already know that the succeeding words is bad.
As expected, they all laughed. Fan Wen helplessly laughed while Li Tian and the others roared in laughter. Fei Yin has a doting smile on his lips as he pinched Cheng Sheng's hand for comfort. But, they immediately turned serious since Ke Lu looked only slightly exhausted despite fighting against more than half of the disciples.
"He has good stamina." They said, very serious.
"The disciples should realize this fast as to not lose their own momentum and make Ke Lu regain his momentum." Xi Ming said.
"Yes." they nodded in agreement.
…
"What's our next plan?" the disciples asked Fei Yinzi while Wu Tie fought against Ke Lu before Chen Wu replaced him.
"This Ke Lu isn't going down that fast." Su Mi pointed out the matter.
Fei Yinzi thought fast. "We'll attack him by pair, then by groups, and finally altogether after everyone had a bout against him." he answered.
Everyone, including the audience watching. "…" is he not only avenging the other participants, but actually also using this opportunity to use Ke Lu as a sparring partner?! They thought as they looked at Fei Yinzi in shock. He is really Cheng Sheng's disciple… he can use this opportunity to their own advantage!
But, Cheng Sheng thought otherwise. "Er Zi…" he muttered.. "Did he realize something?" he asked.
