The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 178 The Bat King Returns
The morning light breaks and the sun rises!
On the vast land, the mountains are undulating and lush, hiding the beautiful scenery created by nature.

The two shadows were as fast as the wind, flying and shuttling between the grass, trees, mountains and rocks, moving forward continuously.

The phantom in front suddenly accelerated, almost blending into the wind, and in an instant, it floated a long distance away with the wind.

"Good form!"

A cheer came from the misty clouds behind, and the next moment, two black and white comet-like streams appeared and spun. In a breath, they grew to the thickness of a child's arm. With a "whoosh", they tore free from the misty clouds, dragged two long tails in the air, and shot forward.

One black and one white, two streams of comet light, like two positive and negative magnetic poles, isolated Xu Xingchen, who was wrapped in the middle, from the gravity of the earth. In the process of rotating and circling, they burst out with extremely powerful force, pushing his body forward at high speed.

Its ability to turn and change direction at close range may not be as good as the previous misty cloud, but its speed of sprinting in a straight line is really like chasing stars and catching up with the moon, which is much faster than Yundun.

This is the new light skill after Xu Xingchen upgraded the Yundun body technique. When he performs it, two black and white comet streams of light rotate around him, so he named it "Yin Yang Two Qi Escape".

Of course, the Yin-Yang Qi Escape can not only speed up his body movements, but also defend against and counterattack all external attacks. It is a multi-purpose move that brings the changes in the properties of the Yin-Yang Yuan Magnetic Qi to the extreme.

Xu Xingchen used the Yin and Yang Qi to escape, and flew dozens of feet away, quickly approaching the moving shadow in front of him.

Their destination was a cliff a thousand feet away. After a dozen breaths, they arrived at the foot of the cliff one after another.

The two figures did not stop, and quickly stepped on the protrusions on the rock wall, the trees growing on the hillside, the cracks that had opened for unknown reasons, and the backs of birds that happened to fly nearby.
We quickly climbed up the mountain and soon reached the top of the hundred-meter cliff.

The phantom of the swift wind and the black and white light fell on the ground on the top of the mountain almost at the same time.

The strong wind and the black and white light dissipated, revealing the figures of Wei Yixiao and Xu Xingchen. The two smiled at each other, marveling at each other's speed in their hearts.

Wei Yixiao was panting heavily, his bony face was eerily pale, there was a flickering red light in his eyes, and he was licking his lips subconsciously, his whole body exuded a bloodthirsty and evil aura.

He took two deep breaths, clasped his fists towards Xu Xingchen, and said in a shrill voice with some difficulty: "Subordinate, Wei Yixiao, greets the leader!"

This statement was the recognition of Xu Xingchen, the new leader of the Ming Cult, by the Green-Winged Bat King, the last of the Four Dharma Kings of the Ming Cult. It was of great significance!
From then on, the four Dharma Kings gathered again under the leadership of the leader of the Ming Cult, and the force led by Xu Xingchen gained powerful support.

"No need to be so polite!" Xu Xingchen held out his hand, frowned, and pretended to be confused and asked: "Bat King, what's wrong with your body? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Wei Yixiao's body swayed, his legs softened, and he sat down on the ground. He looked up and smiled at Xu Xingchen who was approaching. Under the other's puzzled and concerned eyes, he said tremblingly: "Last night, I was competing with the leader in Qinggong. I was too excited and forgot about my old illness for a moment."

"Now, it's just an old illness that's flaring up. It's not a big deal, but it's a big deal."

As he spoke, his voice trembled more and more violently, his body gradually curled up into a ball, and with his hands around his shoulders, he slowly fell to the ground.

Xu Xingchen looked at Wei Yixiao's trembling body, blurred blood-red pupils, and snow-white face. At the same time, he felt a cold chill emanating from his body. He knew that it was just as the other party said, it was an old illness that flared up, and he needed to suck someone's hot blood to relieve it.

I don’t know whether the old man referred to some of the characteristics of Western vampires when he wrote this character.

The damage sustained from practicing the Ice Palm technique requires sucking human blood to alleviate the damage, but I wonder if animal blood will work?!

Xu Xingchen had no intention of donating blood. Seeing that Wei Yixiao was already in a semi-comatose state, he said, "Wait here for a moment. I'll go catch an animal!"

After saying that, he turned and walked down the mountain.

After a while, he came back with a tiger weighing several hundred pounds.

The tiger's neck was tightly grasped by Xu Xingchen's hand. His strong bones and muscles were as soft as numb and he couldn't exert any strength at all.

"Tiger's blood is extremely masculine and strong. It should be more helpful to you than human blood!"

Xu Xingchen threw the tiger out, and before it could struggle on the ground, he pointed his finger like a sword at the aorta on the side of its throat.

The true Qi broke through the tough skin and flesh, penetrated deep into the blood vessels and chest, and made a hole in the heart.

With his heart broken, the tiger's body stiffened and he had no strength to move. With a thud, he fell beside Wei Yixiao.

A handful of extremely fishy hot blood spurted out and splashed all over Wei Yixiao's face.

Stimulated by this hot blood, Wei Yixiao shuddered all over and immediately opened his eyes, with a bloodthirsty light flashing in his dark red pupils.

The next moment, he stretched out his arms, hugged the tiger's neck, and started sucking deeply.

After a while, Wei Yixiao stood up and kicked the tiger's body weighing hundreds of pounds, causing it to roll and fly, falling off the cliff.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and cheek, and then ignored the bloodstains on his body. He clasped his fists to Xu Xingchen and said, "Thank you, Master, for sending this beast in time. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have to strangle it for a day and a night before it can recover!"

Xu Xingchen asked curiously, "I heard Uncle Xie and Uncle Yin talk about your old illness. Do you need to drink human blood to relieve it?"

Wei Yixiao explained, "I rarely drink human blood. I usually only use the blood of animals to treat illnesses. Fierce beasts like tigers require much more blood vessels than humans!"

"Have you not looked for Hu Qingniu from Butterfly Valley? He is a skilled doctor, maybe he can help you heal!" "I have looked for him, and Doctor Hu said he can cure me, but I can no longer practice the Ice Palm in the future." Wei Yixiao sighed and said, "Although my extraordinary Qinggong is closely related to my physique, it was also stimulated by practicing the Ice Palm."

"I don't know if I can keep my Qinggong skills if I change to another one, so..."

Xu Xingchen nodded in understanding and asked, "Are there any other treatment options?"

Wei Yi smiled and said, "Medical Immortal Hu once said that only someone who practices the most yang and most strong technique can cure the root of my illness."

Xu Xingchen thought of the record in the original book, that the Green-Winged Bat King's old illness was cured by Zhang Wuji, who had mastered the Nine Yang Divine Art, and he suddenly had an idea in his mind.

He comforted her, "I know who has practiced the most masculine and masculine martial arts, and I can have him treat you, Bat King, so you don't have to worry too much!"

Wei Yixiao was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly thanked him.

This old illness has plagued him for many years. Whenever it strikes, he is in excruciating pain. If he can be cured one day, how comfortable and wonderful it would be!

The two men went down the mountain, and Wei Yixiao washed the blood off his body in a nearby stream.

Taking advantage of this time, Xu Xingchen shot two wild rabbits and two pheasants, skinned and gutted them, built a bonfire, and grilled them.

After running for half the night, both of them felt hungry and needed to eat some food to replenish their strength.

By the time he had eaten and drunk his fill, Wei Yixiao's underwear was almost done drying.

At this time, Xu Xingchen discovered that the coat and cloak on his body were rare treasures in the world. Not only were they fireproof and waterproof, they were also tough enough to resist penetration by swords, arrows and other weapons.

Only such a precious robe could prevent him from being torn apart by the strong wind or pierced by attacks from the ground when he was flying and circling in the air.

The two men came out of the mountains and came to a nearby market.

Before entering the market, Wei Yixiao quietly sneaked into a nearby farmhouse, put down silver and money on the table, and took a hat without asking for permission to cover up his strange and weird face.

He would do this whenever he entered or left markets or towns, to avoid his unique appearance being seen by others and attracting the Yuan soldiers' pursuit and encirclement.

Once you enter the market, you don't need to ask anyone for information. You can find out where this place is just from the casual conversations of passers-by.

The two men ran in the middle of the night and actually ran all the way from northern Anhui to near Dadu, a thousand miles away. It is easy to imagine how fast they ran.

Hearing that this place was not far away, Xu Xingchen had an idea and took Wei Yixiao to a remote alley.

Seeing that there was no one around and no movement behind the walls on both sides of the alley, Xu Xingchen said to Wei Yixiao in a serious tone: "Bat King, your lightness skills are unparalleled in the world, and your ability to conceal your whereabouts is far better than mine. Now, I want to ask Bat King to do something for you. I wonder if Bat King is willing to do it?"

Wei Yixiao bowed and said, "Master, you are welcome. If you have anything to say, just tell me and I will do my best!"

"Okay!" Xu Xingchen nodded, and used the method of secret voice transmission to send a message into Wei Yixiao's ears.

"I want you to sneak into the Ruyang Palace tonight and find the place where the drugs are hidden in the palace."

"The medicines that can be collected by King Ruyang must not be common medicines on the market, and the quantity will not be too large."

“If possible, pack everything up and bring it out.”

"If you can't take all of them away, then try to take some of each medicine away."

“When I came out.”

Wei Yixiao nodded repeatedly as he listened, a gleam of confidence flashing in his red eyes.

At the end, Xu Xingchen gave another reminder: "By the way, try not to spy on the house with your eyes. If there is someone in there whose martial arts is not weaker than mine, he will definitely notice it immediately!"

"Also, there are many experts in Prince Ruyang's palace. You must be careful. If things become impossible, withdraw immediately. I will meet you outside!"

Wei Yixiao said solemnly: "Master, rest assured, I will do my best to get this done!"

After discussing what to do, the two men disguised themselves and headed for Dadu.

After spending some money and entering the city smoothly, Xu Xingchen brought Wei Yixiao to the courtyard where he and the White-browed Eagle King had hidden last time to rest and eat.

Wait until the night is deep and the moon is high in the sky.

The two men climbed over the wall and left the courtyard, moving quickly along the roof tiles. After a while, they arrived near Prince Ruyang's palace.
