The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 287 What is a miracle? This is a miracle!

From the moment Xu Xingchen snatched the princess away to the moment he flew onto the roof of the building, he headed straight for the city gate.
On the way, although he was chased and blocked by three great masters, Master Lingzhi, Old Monster Shenxian, and Thousand-Handed Butcher Peng Lianhu, it still did not delay him for much time.

Whether it was the young man Yang Kang, who was chasing on horseback with his soldiers and servants in the streets, or the Jin soldiers who were rushing towards the city gate to report the news, or Guo Jing and the girl in red who were dragged by Yang Tiexin and ran fast in the streets.
These people were left far behind by the four people fighting fiercely on the roof of the building and could not catch up.

With one punch, Peng Lianhu was knocked off the roof, and there was no one blocking his way.

As for Master Lingzhi and Old Monster Shenxian who jumped onto the roof again and chased after them, it would take them a few breaths to catch up.

Xu Xingchen jumped up, and with his strong and powerful arms he held up the sedan chair falling from the sky with one hand.

His feet landed lightly on a roof, and he turned around and laughed at the two people behind him: "Ladies and gentlemen, I've sent you here, so please stay! Next, I'm going to take the princess out of the city."

"You can't escape!"

"The soldiers at the city gate will not let you out."

The angry voices of Master Lingzhi and Old Monster Shenxian could be heard from afar, and their speed of running and leaping could not help but increase a bit.

From the street below, an angry roar echoed.

Peng Lianhu ran wildly on the street, bouncing back and forth on the walls on both sides, and soon rushed to the entrance of the city gate.

He turned around and stopped, with his arms outstretched, blocking the city gate with his sturdy body with black and yellow stripes.

The Jin soldiers at the city gate didn't know what was going on. They nervously raised their spears, retreated to the sides, and looked at Peng Lianhu with vigilance and awe.

Peng Lianhu shouted, "I am the guest of the Sixth Prince, and I am here on his orders to arrest a fugitive. You and I must guard the city gates together, and do not let the bandit dragging the sedan escape."

Upon hearing this, the Jin soldiers guarding the city gate immediately turned their heads to look towards the city, and then stood there in a daze, dumbfounded.

Peng Lianhu frowned when he saw the shocked looks on the Jin soldiers' faces, thinking: "They are just a bunch of ordinary people who have never seen a true master."

When he turned around and looked towards the city again, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was wide open, and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

But I saw a figure as majestic as a green mountain, holding the sedan in one hand, and leaping up from the roof of the last attic.
Between the street attic and the city wall, there is a spacious blank area, about ten feet long, which is used for the convenience of troop deployment.

According to common sense, the figure as majestic as a green mountain would leap up from the roof of the last building, draw an arc in the air, and land on the ground several feet away.

However, what happened next was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

Just as the momentum was about to end and the figure as majestic as a green mountain was about to fall, he suddenly took a step forward, and a three-foot-sized white cloud immediately bloomed under his feet.

It was like a ball of white marshmallow blooming, rolling and surging like the tide. It seemed ethereal and illusory, but it gave the figure a fulcrum to continue moving forward.

So, the figure carried the sedan and continued to fly forward across the sky.

When the force of the forward charge was exhausted, he suddenly stepped down with his left foot, and a rolling white cloud bloomed under his feet again.

One step at a time, one step at a time
In this almost miraculous act of walking on the clouds, the majestic figure not only did not descend at all, but instead climbed higher and higher.

After taking five or six steps, the figure had already arrived above Peng Lianhu's head.

Peng Lianhu's eyes followed the movement of the figure in the air and shifted to the city wall. He was startled and shouted loudly, "Oh no! He is going to get out from the top of the city wall."

Although he had realized the other party's plan and knew that he had lost the ability to guard the city gate, he was helpless.

at the same time
The Master Lingzhi and the old monster Shenxian, who were chasing from behind, landed on the roof of the last attic on the left and right sides of the street and suddenly stopped.

The two looked at the figure in front of them, holding the sedan in one hand and stepping on the clouds, rushing straight up the several-meter-high city wall. They were also stunned and looked unbelievable.
"This person, how can this person be so powerful?"

"Who on earth is this person?"

In addition to the shock in his mind, the resentment that had been suppressed in his chest for a long time suddenly disappeared without a trace!
"Gee! Gee, gee."

The young man Yang Kang, leaving behind his soldiers and servants, rode alone on horseback and soon arrived at the city gate.

Then he reined in his horse and, along with many pedestrians on the street, looked up at the miracle in the sky. His pupils contracted violently, his cheeks twitched, and he became speechless.

On the street, countless pedestrians looked up at the sky, stunned and unspeakably quiet.

Yang Tiexin, Guo Jing and the girl in red, who were still some distance away from the city gate, came to an empty corner and could already see the scene in the sky in front of the city gate.

They stopped almost at the same time, and stared with their mouths wide open at the majestic figure above the city gate, walking on the clouds and crossing the city wall. They were shocked.

Guo Jing was no less shocked than the others: "Walking on the clouds, is this the master's real ability? It's so, so powerful that it's unbelievable." Twelve years ago, when Xu Xingchen had just been reborn, he could only walk on the clouds a dozen times before his internal energy was severely depleted and he dared not continue trying.

Twelve years later, the internal energy in his meridians has once again become one with this world. Not only does he no longer need to meditate and practice hard on a daily basis, but his recovery speed is also extraordinarily fast.

In this way, there will be no worries when using the Cloud Escape Technique again.

At least, he can walk on the clouds in the air for a long time without worrying about his internal energy being depleted below the safety line.

Under the gazes of tens of thousands of people near the gate of the capital, the figure as majestic as a green mountain held up a sedan chair with one hand with his strong and powerful arms, walked in the sky with one step on the clouds, passed over the top of the high city wall, and continued to walk towards the distance with one step on the clouds.

Until the figure became very small in the sky and then fell into a forest in the distance.

Of course, only the Jin soldiers on the city wall saw the final scene of the fall.

The merchants and passers-by in the city only saw the miracle of that figure walking away on the clouds. That shocking scene was deeply imprinted in everyone's heart and would never be forgotten.

I don't know whose legs went weak first, but he fell to his knees, kowtowed hard, and shouted in a trembling voice: "The gods have appeared! The gods have appeared!"

Afterwards, more and more people knelt on the ground, kowtowed and shouted loudly towards the figure that disappeared outside the city wall.

The scene was chaotic!
Master Lingzhi, Old Monster Shenxian, and Peng Lianhu quickly gathered together, looked at each other, frowned, and said nothing.

All three of them were martial arts masters who had broken through three times. They knew that the man who abducted the princess was able to walk on clouds because he must have comprehended the martial arts related to "cloud energy". So, although they were surprised and shocked, they were still able to react quickly.

"What should we do? The evil thief has escaped from the city."

"Should we continue to pursue? If we don't bring the princess back, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the prince."

"Let's change our bodies back first. In this state, our internal energy is depleted too quickly."

Following the suggestion of one of them, the bodies of the three people quickly shrank with crackling sounds and returned to their original appearance.

There was a sound of hurried horse hooves. The three looked up and saw that it was the young master Yang Kang. They all clasped their fists and said, "Greetings, young prince!"

Yang Kang jumped off his horse and said hurriedly, "No need to be polite." Then he asked, "Three masters, what should we do now? That thief took my mother out of the city. How can we get her back?"

Master Lingzhi suggested: "The three of us will chase him first and try to stay behind him to prevent him from escaping. Little Prince, go back and tell the prince to send a large group of people to conduct a thorough search outside the city and block all the intersections at the same time."

Yang Kang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but he still maintained a certain level of rationality: "Will this method work?"

Master Lingzhi, Old Monster Shenxian, and Peng Lianhu were silent.

After a moment, the old ghost said, "We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate. I hope that the thief has not taken the princess away to a farther place."

"You guys." Yang Kang wanted to get angry, but he knew that he couldn't offend the three masters that his father had recruited with great difficulty. He could only suppress his anxiety and anger, and said with a cupped hand: "In this case, I would like to trouble you three to leave the city as soon as possible and chase the thief. I will go back and ask my father to send troops out of the city as soon as possible."

"Young prince, wise!"

Master Lingzhi and the other two quickly flattered him.

The Jin soldiers guarding the city gate recognized the young prince of the Sixth Prince's Mansion and came up to pay their respects. Someone brought a few sets of clothes for Master Lingzhi and the others to wear.

The three men did not dare to waste any time and immediately went out of the city gate and chased in the direction indicated by the Jin soldiers on the city wall.

When they chased to the woods in the distance, they saw only an empty sedan chair abandoned there. The princess inside and the thief who robbed the princess had long disappeared.

In desperation, they had to slowly expand the search range around them, carefully looking for traces, hoping to get some useful clues.

A few miles away
Xu Xingchen's upper body was exposed, his right hand grasping the hilt of the Dragon Slaying Sword, while the tendon sheath extending to the back was tightly grasped by a white and clean female hand.

The owner of the woman's hand was none other than the Sixth Prince's princess consort, Yang Tiexin's legal wife: Bao Xiruo.

Previously, Xu Xingchen pressed acupoints on her, causing the circulation of Qi and blood in her body to slow down, as if she were in suspended animation.

Therefore, the feeling of floating in the air and tossing up and down was not real. I just felt dazed for a while, and then I appeared in the woods outside the city.

Bao Xiruo originally thought that the masked man in front of her was going to harm her, but a few words from him shocked her heart, as if she was struck by lightning.

"Yang Tiexin is not dead yet, I will take you to find him"
