Gui Long and Ye Zi clashed and the connection between the three pans created such a huge spark that everyone and everything was blown away, including the roof of the warehouse. The only people - or rather beings - who were still standing were Gui Long and Ye Zi who were locked between pans. Surrounding them were huge clouds of smoke and dust whilst everyone else was blown outside and sprawled across the floor.

Xiao Yu stood up coughing, looking around with wide eyes and shock spread across his face. The warehouse was practically blown to bits. "Yu Yan!" he exclaimed and hurried over to her, throwing her arm around his shoulder and pulling her up.
Yu Yan didn't face him but was focused on Gui Long and Ye Zi, "They're really going all out," she muttered before clenching her fist, "I want to have in on this too!"
"Yu Yan, wait-"
She was gone.

Yu Yan, using her super speed, charged towards Ye Zi with her fist ready to make some damage. However, before she could make impact, she was deflected by another weapon and was sent tumbling to the ground.

Ji An stood before her with a serious expression before lowering his axe, "No one is to interfere!" he yelled, "I will destroy these two demons!"
"Ji An, hold on a second!" Ya Se called out, joining them, "Gui Long is helping us, you can't destroy him!"
"And he's in Da Dong's body, you can't hurt him!" Xiao Yu added quickly.
Ji An's eyes glowed wildly and turned to Gui Long and Ye Zi who were suddenly gone. Immediately, his eyes darted back and forth, watching the two demons battle in out whilst moving almost at the speed of light.

Gui Long slammed Ye Zi into what was remaining of the wall and then backed off as some of the ceiling crumbled and fell on top of him. He panted and then jumped backwards to regroup with the students of Zhong Ji Yi Ban. "Make yourselves useful!" he barked angrily as he watched Ye Zi break free from the cage of rubble.
"Let's go Zhong Ji Yi Ban!" Ya Se roared and then they all pulled out their weapons.
Scoffing, Gui Long shot them a glance, "Follow my lead," he commanded before clashing with Ye Zi again. The connection between the three pans once again created huge gusts of wind and released massive waves of energy.

The members of Zhong Ji Yi Ban dispersed into a hexagonal like arrangement and then powered all their yi neng energy towards Gui Long. Thrilled by the sudden increase in yi neng, Gui Long laughed as though he was insane. With adrenaline rushing through his body, he used all his energy to whack the demon tattooed pan away from Ye Zi's hands, causing it to be sent flying into the air. Noticing this, Ye Zi jumped up and flew to retrieve it but Yu Yan was one step ahead of him; she managed to jump into the air and land a firm kick to her uncle's head. The demon tattooed pan was still shooting upwards through the air so Ji An used his axe like a tennis racket and hit it as hard as he could with all the energy he could muster. The pan then skid across the ground and landed before Hong Guang's feet who  then picked it up.

Suddenly, Ye Zi fell to his knees, screeching like a howler monkey. His body had taken too much damage from the ghost tattooed pan. Out of his body poured dark waves of energy which contaminated the air with toxins and darkness. Everyone, except Gui Long and Ji An doubled over into a coughing fit and they chocked for clean air. "You weaklings!" Gui Long hissed in annoyance before creating a huge sphere of energy using the ghost tattooed pan. He then attacked Ye Zi with it, causing him to be smashed into the ground face first. This weakened him and also allowed the students of Zhong Ji Yi Ban more time to fight against the toxic air.

Ye Se had his hand clamped over his mouth which prevented him from breathing in anything at all. Despite the lack of oxygen, he looked for his friends in the darkening area before collapsing into a weak crawl. His heart and head pounded in pain and he felt so dizzy that he was ready to pass out. Lei Ke Si who had asthma [A/N: I'm not sure if he was lying about in KO One or not so...] had already collapsed onto the floor. Hong Guang was successfully able to hold his breath longer than the others but he still was unable to see. "Ya Se! Xiao Yu!" he coughed out, slowly dragging his feet around in the darkness. "Lei Ke...Si... Yu...Y-Yan!" he yelled but his voice became weaker and weaker.

Gui Long grunted in the darkness, unaffected by the tainted air and the lack of light. He powered himself up with yi neng again and held up a luminous greed fire ball, ready to finish Ye Zi off. Ye Zi was laying still, buried head first into the ground. It was the perfect chance to deliver the final blow... or was it?

"Step aside!" Ji An ordered, "I was ordered by Meng Zhu to eradicate all demons so I will fulfil my duty!"
"Like hell if I care!" Gui Long laughed as he neared Ye Zi's fallen body.

Yu Yan shut her eyes tightly, struggling to stay conscious. The average person could hold their breath for roughly 60 seconds before gasping but even though Yu Yan was trained for such situations, almost 5 minutes had already passed and she couldn't move anymore or risked breathing in the toxins. She felt her head feel lighter and felt her body going numb before she landed on her knees, unaware that she had fallen into a sitting position. She focused her yi neng on telepathy, finding it the only way to stay awake.

"Everyone, jia you! Keep fighting the poison!"

"Yu Yan, you're okay?" Xiao Yu's voice came through.

"Is anyone okay in this situation?!" Yu Yan exclaimed as a response.
 

"I'm glad you two are still conscious," Hong Guang's relieved voice came in.
 

"Is Ya Se and Lei Ke Si still awake?" Yu Yan inquired.
 

"They would have responded by now," Hong Guang replied. He looked around, seeing Yu Yan's body illuminated by her aura on the ground but then his eyes caught a dying out gold aura that belonged to Xiao Yu.
"Xiao Yu! Hang in there!" he said desperately through telepathy.

 

"Little Fish?" Yu Yan called out, worriedly, lifting her head up.

Suddenly, Ye Zi jumped out of his still position with a huge explosion that knocked Gui Long and Ji An to the side. The first person his eyes landed on was Yu Yan. He growled like a predator before using his super speed to lunge towards her with his fists engulfed in red yi neng. Hong Guang's eyes widened as he saw the red light of yi neng approach Yu Yan who was slowing fading out, as her aura slowly began to decrease in intensity.

"Yu Yan!" He yelled out in alarm, before falling to the ground from inhaling too many toxins.

Yu Yan's heart began to race as she felt Ye Zi near her almost in slow motion. Was this the end for her?

Crash!

A blinding golden light deflected Ye Zi and he was out of the roofless building. The impact caused the mists of poison and dark energy to be rushed to the side, clearing a way for natural light to flood warehouse. Gui Long's eyes widened in amazement, watching Xiao Yu hold onto his throbbing and now broken right fist.

"Now that is crazy power..." he muttered before looking up at the ray of light that Ye Zi was sent flying through.

“Xiao Yu…” Yu Yan whispered, utterly speechless.

Xiao Yu smiled weakly at her, “I’m glad you’re not hurt…” he murmured before he out and fell to the floor.

Hiding outside were Ella and Selina who were positioned high up and away from view. As soon as they saw Ye Zi's body land in the open, they immediately set off laser traps that stopped him from moving. This allowed Ji An to come along and deliver the finishing blow. Then it was over.

Ye Zi was no more.
 

~*~*~

After Gui Long had returned to the Iron Dimension, a strange event had occurred. As soon as he had left Da Dong's body, his form began to fade away for some strange and unknown reason. [A/N: This is my terrible way of writing off Gui Long so that my story doesn't clash with The X-Dormitory lol]

Currently, all the members of Zhong Ji Yi Ban including Da Dong were hospitalised due to poisoning. The Ghost Tattooed Pan and Demon Tattooed Pan were returned to Master Fu and all seemed peaceful for now.
 

"I want to go home!" Da Dong groaned, "I can't believe Gui Long breathed in so much poison that I can't even remove all these wires!" he exclaimed, tugging on the tubes that were connected to him through his skin.
"Egomaniac, just be grateful that he defeated Ye Zi for us," Ya Se replied.
"I feel quite ashamed for letting someone else from another dimension fight for us," Hong Guang admitted from opposite Ya Se's hospital bed.
"Well there's nothing we could have done about it," Lei Ke Si told him.
"And don't forget, Xiao Yu also delivered an important blow!" Da Dong added, "I wish I could’ve seen it!”
"But now he's the most injured out of all of us," Ya Se pointed out, looking at Xiao Yu's broken right arm. "This is the second time you used your right fist, right?"
Xiao Yu nodded quietly.
"Your right fist really is 10 times stronger than your left," Lei Ke Si commented, "That's amazing!"

"What's amazing? That you all got hurt?"

Hong Guang turned to the door and smiled, "Jie? Why are you here?"
Tian Xin rushed in, "How could I just ignore my brother and students getting involved in such a huge fight?!" she exclaimed, "I'm so disappointed in you all! You could have died!" she scolded, "Look at you all!"
"Ban Dao, we're all fine!" Da Dong reassured with a grin, causing her to frown.
"He's right, we heal pretty quickly," Ya Se added.
"You silly kids will really turn my hair grey!" she exclaimed, frustrated.
"Jie, isn't that a grey hair I see?" Hong Guang asked teasingly as he pointed to her hair.
Tian Xin gasped and her hands flew to her head in panic, "Where?" she asked, pulling out her hand mirror.
The boys laughed at her.

"Ban Dao, don't worry. You'll always be our prettiest teacher even when you do turn old," Da Dong smiled.
Tian Xin smiled at his sweet comment before her face went blank, "Don't think you can make me happy with sweet comments Da Dong! Zhong Ji Yi Ban has mostly had male teachers so of course I would be the prettier one! I'm the first female teacher you've had; it doesn't make me the prettiest! There aren’t any other female teachers you can compare me to!" she explained in a high pitched voice.
Hong Guang chuckled as his sister rambled on like always, "Jie!" he called out to stop her talking, "Jie! We get it now!" he laughed.

Once she stopped talking, Tian Xin looked around and wrinkled her brows. "Wait, where is Jiang Yu Yan? She's supposed to be hospitalised here too, no?" she inquired and Da Dong sighed.
"She's probably on the roof. She wants to be alone," he explained.
"Why?" the form teacher asked, worried.
Ya Se looked over at Xiao Yu, "She feels guilty about being the reason why Xiao Yu broke his arm. She doesn't have the confidence to face him," he whispered in a low voice and the teacher nodded in understanding.
"I'll go check up on her," she said, looking at Xiao Yu, as though she was speaking directly to him. "Don't worry, okay?"

Xiao Yu didn't say anything and just stared out of the window.

As Tian Xin turned around to leave the room, a nurse quickly came in and began clearing away Yu Yan's bed. The members of Zhong Ji Yi Ban watched, puzzled. "Uh, excuse me, may I ask what you are doing?" Tian Xin asked the nurse, politely.
The nurse turned around with a small smile, "Oh, the girl who was staying in this bed has been discharged," she explained.
"Discharged? How could she be discharged so quickly?" Hong Guang asked, "We've only been here for two days."
The nurse shrugged at his response, "The child's father came and took her after paying the hospital fees," she explained.

Instantly Da Dong's eyes widened and his body became tense. Ya Se noticed this small reaction but did not react to it but instead remained silent.

Tian Xin frowned at the nurse, "Well that's not good! She's very sickly, how can she go home?" she asked.
The nurse shrugged again before leaving the room.

Yu Yan, I hope you're okay... Da Dong thought.
