Chapter 70: The Changing Bats

"It was an... an old friend."

An old friend?

Lin Xing was taken aback.

Was it an old acquaintance or a deceased friend? The ancients were really troublesome!

However, since Su Lingfeng was from the Qingyun Sect, she must be no threat to him. Why bother?

So, he lost the intention to ask further.

"After I leave, you'll continue to sleep. You'll sleep soundly tonight, see nothing. Then you'll have a wonderful dream and wake up refreshed tomorrow!" Lin Xing said, closed his Kaleidoscope Sharingan, and walked out.

He had to quickly digest the artistic conception of water!

The door closed, and the silent boudoir was in complete darkness. After an unknown amount of time, a few rustling sounds came out.

Su Lingfeng opened her beautiful eyes, and a pallor flashed across her face.

She had woken up earlier without following Lin Xing's command!

"The new Holy Lord seems to need some tempering." Her tone was a mix of pride and sadness.

The next day, Lin Xing and the others set off.

With the help of the Kaleidoscope Sharingan and the Qilin's blood essence, Lin Xing had reached the threshold of "obtaining the artistic conception and forgetting the form" in one night. He believed that he would make another breakthrough soon!

The group flew with their swords... and Xiaofan with his fire - burning stick. It took them most of the day to reach their destination.

"Kunsang Mountain is right ahead. Everyone, speed up!"

As the sun gradually set in the west, the warm - yellow sunset made the clouds in the sky glow brightly. Lu Xueqi, in her floating white robe, stepped on Tianya with flowing blue light, shuttling in and out of the clouds. A few strands of her hair fluttered in the wind, and her icy aura thawed slightly. Lin Xing became more and more infatuated.

No way! Such a beautiful girl, how could she end up with Xiaofan? A chef, how could he be associated with a beauty!!

A sneaky plan brewed in Lin Xing's mind.

"Okay, right here. Everyone, follow me! I'm familiar with the place!" Lin Xing was not at all polite. He got off his sword and walked. His cultivation was much higher than the others, and they were willing to follow him.

"This Wanfu Cave, just as its name implies, has so many vampire bats inside that they can even crush people to death. Without preparation, one must never rush in rashly."

As Lin Xing sacrificed the Liuhe Mirror, he walked inside. The other five people were all covered by the light of the Liuhe Mirror.

"Junior Brother, how did you get in last time?" Zeng Shushu asked.

Lin Xing let out a sigh, with a look of profound melancholy on his face: "With just one person and one sword, I charged in!"

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Lu Xueqi. Hahaha, be overwhelmed by my domineering!

Unexpectedly, when this girl heard Lin Xing say this, she glared at him fiercely. Her stubbornness was aroused, and she held Tianya, ready to leave the protective shield.

"Hey! Junior Sister Lu! Don't be impulsive. It's dangerous!" Lin Xing reached out and grabbed Lu Xueqi's delicate wrist. At this touch, it was as smooth as water, soft as if there were no bones, almost melting Lin Xing's heart!

"Junior Sister Lu, although I succeeded last time, I was so stinky all over. It took me... half a day to wash it all off!" Lin Xing's exaggerated expression finally moved the beautiful Miss Lu. Her hand holding Tianya loosened a bit, and she stopped in her tracks.

Sure enough, beauties all love to be clean!

Lin Xing coaxed her gently: "The bats here suck the blood of beasts. When you strike with a sword, it's like stepping into a cesspit. The black - colored blood splashes down, stinking to high heaven, and sticks to your skin - "

Lu Xueqi's face turned pale as she listened. She snorted at Lin Xing again, but still stepped back.

Xiaofan timidly asked: "Senior Brother Lin, is that true?"

"Of course it is!" Lin Xing said. "However, for the sake of the righteous path, what's a bit of stench? Just wash it off once!"

Lu Xueqi quietly withdrew her hand, frowned slightly, and secretly labeled Lin Xing as unhygienic in her heart. Half a day? It should take at least two days to wash it off!

"Junior Brother Lin Xing is really... great!" Zeng Shushu added.

Xiaofan seconded, looking at Lin Xing with eyes full of admiration...

"Many people admire me, but I'll accept your good intentions!"

Lin Xing led the group towards the depths of the ancient cave. A black mass rushed towards them...

"Watch me show my skills!"

...

Half an hour later.

"Junior Brother Lin Xing, why are there so many bats?"

"When I came last time, there were even more!"

An hour later.

"Junior Brother Lin Xing, let's retreat."

"No way. We must completely eliminate evil. How can we back down?"

Three hours later.

"Li, Li Senior Brother, it's, it's too stinky."

"Cough cough, well, there weren't this many when I came last time..."

Under the resentful gazes of the others, Lin Xing retreated.

The group almost pushed their way out like they were moving corpses. The defense of the Liuhe Mirror was actually used as a bulldozer! I wonder what the predecessors who forged this magic weapon would think.

The thick corpses of vampire bats were piled everywhere, covering the ground tightly, about a foot high. The protective shield in front of the Liuhe Mirror, used as a bulldozer, had accumulated dead bats even higher than a person's head.

However, the protective shield could block the corpses but not the stench. Although the stench of the bat corpses was not as exaggerated as the "cesspit" that Lin Xing had described, it was almost the same. The bat blood flowed past their feet under the protective shield, as if they were stepping into a stinky ditch.

"Junior Brother Lin Xing truly has great wisdom and perseverance." Su Lingfeng, who had been silent, suddenly said this seemingly praising sentence. The others, thinking of Lin Xing's fabricated story of "one person and one sword", nodded in agreement.

"But, there really weren't this many when I came last time."

Lin Xing also felt strange. The bats in Wanfu Cave seemed more powerful than last time; and even the stench of their blood - no, there was originally no stench, at most just a smell of blood!

Could the butterfly effect even change the constitution of bats? Wasn't that too exaggerated!?

There must be something strange!

The group struggled step by step and finally walked out of the cave entrance. Lin Xing took back the Liuhe Mirror and let out a sigh of relief.

Lin Xing obviously forgot something. Suddenly, a wall of bats in front of them collapsed with a stinking smell.

The group was shocked!

Miss Lu, standing at the front, was the first to be affected. Just as she was about to strike with Tianya, she suddenly thought of the scene of blood splashing and stench filling the air, and her movement slowed down by half a beat.

"Junior Sister Lu, be careful!"

Lin Xing leaped forward and blasted out a Taiji diagram with a whoosh. The momentum was surging, like thunder crashing down. It instantly expanded to the size of a person.

"Boom——————"

The Taiji diagram was powerfully launched, carrying the destructive aura of thunder. The bat corpses were blasted dozens of meters away and shattered into pieces.

Compared to when he was at the sixth level of the Jade Pure Realm during the competition, Lin Xing, now at the eighth level of the Jade Pure Realm, had a stronger foundation! In terms of comprehension, the artistic conception of thunder was far inferior to that of water, but the momentum of thunder was grand. Coupled with Lin Xing's strong foundation at this time, the strike he made made people feel much stronger than before!

"Goo, good grief! Junior Brother Lin Xing, did you hold back during the competition?" Zeng Shushu's mouth was wide open, big enough to fit an egg!

"No, I'm just constantly making progress." Lin Xing said nonchalantly, not blushing at all when boasting about himself.

Everyone was speechless: Damn it! Can't you have the demeanor of a master and be a little modest?

Lin Xing was telling the truth this time, but no one believed him.

"However, what should we do with these bats?" Lin Xing was in a dilemma...
