"Xue 'er!" Seeing that his mount was cut in half by Ye Fan's Lifire Sword, the old man who was floating in the air cried out.
The white donkey was the old man's beloved mount. It had developed intelligence and human nature. For more than two hundred years, it had been inseparable from the old man. Now that it was killed by Ye Fan's Lifire Sword, how could the old man not be heartbroken?
The old man was also a spiritual creature in the world.
His original form was a thousand-year-old white bat. Because he was born in the Taoist temple, he was white all over and understood human nature. Therefore, the Taoists in the temple did not expel him. Instead, they kept him in the temple so that he could listen to scriptures in hopes of returning to Taoism in the future.
The white bat was rather obedient. Every time the Daoists in the temple were giving lectures, reciting sutras and discussing Dao, it would fly out from the vegetable garden of the temple and respectfully hang upside down under the eaves of the grand hall to listen to the Dao teachings.
After a long time, the white bat developed intelligence and temperament.
As everyone knew, bats did not have good eyesight, but their ears were extremely sensitive. The white bat was a spiritual species of heaven and earth, so its ears were naturally sharper than other bats. Within a radius of ten miles in the Taoist temple, not a single sound could escape its ears!
Therefore, the white bat that had developed intelligence was able to listen to all the secret spells, scriptures, and even secrets passed down by word of mouth in the Taoist temple!
The white bat would listen to scriptures outside the main hall during the day as usual. At night, it would fly to the nearby mountains and forests to absorb spiritual Qi and cultivate its Primordial Spirit. According to the secret spells it eavesdropped on, it would cultivate Taoism diligently!
After a few decades, the white bat with extraordinary talent condensed an inner core the size of a walnut and cultivated to the state where it could transform into a human form!
The change in the white bat's spiritual Qi attracted the attention of the young Abbey Dean in the Taoist temple.
Although the white bat lived in the Taoist temple, it did not join the Taoist sect, let alone learn the cultivation method.
However, the white bat had formed an inner core and was full of Taoist Qi!
Obviously, the white bat had practiced the Taoist arts!
In order to solve this mystery, the Abbey Dean started to make a plan.
One day, the Abbey Dean told his disciples that he was going on a long trip to the Abbey a hundred miles away to study the imitation of Dao. He would only be back in a few days. He asked the disciples to cultivate well during this time and not slack off.
After everything was arranged, the Abbey Dean went out.
After he went out, the Abbey Dean performed a secret Taoism skill and hid himself. He stood on a big tree outside the Taoist temple's vegetable garden and secretly observed the white bat.
Everything was as the Abbey Dean had expected. After the disciples finished their evening classes and fell asleep peacefully, the white bat began to move.
It spread out a pair of snow-white bat wings that were more than five feet long. Taking advantage of the night, it flew directly toward the back of the mountain.
The Abbey Dean hid his breath and performed the Levitating Skill to follow him quietly.
In his opinion, there must be a disciple in the Daoist temple who was secretly imparting Daoist techniques to the white bat.
What he needed to do was to ferret out this Dao Disciple.
However, when the white bat landed on the ground and transformed into a human form, the Abbey Dean who was hiding in the dense forest and observing in secret was so shocked that he broke out in cold sweat!
This white bat's cultivation had already reached the stage where it could transform into human form!
What he envisioned did not happen at all!
No one was secretly imparting Daoist techniques to the white bat!
The reason was simple. The Daoist temple he was in was a small one. Other than him, there was no one else in the temple who had such cultivation!
Obviously, the white bat had eavesdropped on the secret technique and practiced it secretly. That was why it had such cultivation!
What happened next was predictable. The Abbey Dean appeared out of thin air in front of the white bat who had transformed into human form and was sitting cross-legged in meditation.
Seeing that its plan had been exposed, the white bat revealed its bestial side.
It pretended to be sincere in repentance and kowtowed to the Abbey Dean. In fact, it wanted to kill him!
Eavesdropping and practicing secret techniques were serious crimes in Taoism. It was well aware of this fact!
According to Taoism's rules, those who committed such serious crimes would have their cultivation destroyed and their Ocean of Qi shattered. They would never be able to practice cultivation for the rest of their lives!
Even the disciples were punished like this, let alone a foreign species like it!
It was the lifelong dream of all foreign species to shed their beast bones and transform into human form, including the white bat!
Everything that it had painstakingly cultivated for was not easy for it to obtain!
There were thousands of beasts in the world, but how many of them could have such a lucky encounter?
Today, even if it had to commit murder, it would have to obtain this cultivation!
The white bat with evil intentions took advantage of the Abbey Dean's distraction and showed its true form. It flapped its huge wings at the Abbey Dean!
As the bat flapped its wings, a strange wind blew and the sand and pebbles flew!
The Abbey Dean felt a strange force and his body was blown backward by the strange wind. It took him a lot of effort to stabilize his body!
He had never expected that the white bat, who had always been respectful to others, would attack him!
When he came to himself, the bat spirit had disappeared from where it was. No one knew where it was …
Since then, the bat spirit had never appeared again.
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, a thousand years had passed.
The unknown small Taoist temple had long disappeared. However, the bat spirit was still alive in this world and its cultivation was much stronger than before!
For the past thousand years, he had been practicing Taoism's secret method diligently and wandering around in the form of a Taoist. By chance, he had picked up the secret treasure, the Qiankun Ruyi Gourd, from a fairy vine on Mount Kunlun. More than 200 years ago, he had subdued the white donkey monster and made it his mount!
However, although he had a thousand years of cultivation, he had been unable to break through the bottleneck of the Three Flowers at One's Prominence because he only focused on spells and not morality. He was greedy and had killed many people.
Left with no choice, the old man chose the simplest and most heartless way — to devour young boys and girls to obtain the power of pure Yang and pure Yin!
This was the same as the bone couple's purpose in the desert of Flaming Dragon Town!
Young boys were pure Yang while young girls were pure Yin. If there were enough of them, one's cultivation would increase greatly and break through the bottleneck!
However, the difference between the bone couple and the bone couple was that the bone couple forcibly collected young boys and girls from the people. The bat spirit, on the other hand, used a more reliable method — to buy them at a high price!
Money and people. Both parties were willing and they did not owe each other anything.
In this way, it would not arouse the anger of the people and would not attract the attention of the Taoist sects. It would save a lot of trouble!
In the past few decades, the old man had devoured hundreds of young boys and girls! He had already completed half of the thousand young boys!
As for the source of the money, the old man naturally had his own way.
The old man was not good at anything except for his lust.
Every time he met a beautiful woman, he would use a sleeping incense to knock her out. After ravaging her, he would sell her to the rich families or brothels. Not only could he satisfy his beast desires, but he could also get the money to buy young boys and girls. It could be said that he killed two birds with one stone.
It was also because the bottleneck was close at hand that the old man did not do anything to Akatsuki. He just wanted to feast his eyes.
Seeing that the white donkey was split in half by him, Ye Fan, who was on the ground, was a little surprised.
He had originally thought that the flaming sword arc from the Departing Fire Sword would be sucked away by the old man using the same trick as before. He had never thought that the old man would be so afraid of the Departing Fire Sword that he was even willing to abandon his mount!
It seemed that the Li Fire Sword was the nemesis of the magic gourd!
Ye Fan looked at the Ever-Flame Sword in his hand and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The old man had a secret treasure, but so did he!
"That brat!" The old man, who was floating in Ye Kong, pointed at Ye Fan and said angrily, "You killed my mount. How can this old man let you go?!"
"Whatever moves you have, come at me." Ye Fan held the sword with one hand and imitated the old man's tone.
"Ignorant brat, this old man will deal with you today!" The old man said angrily. He put both his index fingers in his mouth and whistled!
Xiu …
The whistle was sharp and loud. In the silent night, it was extremely ear-piercing!
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes and frowned.
He did not know what kind of sorcery this old man was going to use!
Flap flap …
The sound of wings flapping!
Squeak squeak squeak …
The sound of sharp teeth chattering!
Whoosh …
As the old man's whistle became sharper and sharper, countless black shadows gathered from all directions in the sky rapidly!
When he saw what the black shadows were, Ye Fan felt his scalp go numb!
What was flapping and roaring in the night sky was none other than thousands of bats that blotted out the sky and covered the earth!
The biggest bats were five feet long and the smallest ones were the size of a palm. They were densely packed and covered the starlight in the sky instantly!
"Kill!" After the bats had gathered, the old man gave the order to kill! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
After the bats received the old man's order, they spread their wings and bared their white teeth. They stared at Ye Fan with bloodshot eyes and swooped down!
"You overestimate yourselves!" Ye Fan narrowed his eyes and activated the Li Fire Sword in his hand. He swung it at the bats!
Whoosh …
A gigantic dragon-shaped flame surged out from the dazzling red Li Fire Sword!
The dragon-shaped flame was nine feet thick and more than ten feet long. Its golden eyes were glaring and it swung its tail menacingly!
The four claws of the fire dragon moved through the air and went straight for the bats!
Whoosh …
The dragon-shaped flame rose up and rushed into the bats' camp!
The fire dragon turned its head and coiled its body. Its head and tail were connected and it circled around the bats' camp at high speed! Squeak!
Squeak! Squeak!
Squeak! Squeak! Wherever the fire dragon passed, the bats' squeak could be heard!
Whoosh …
In the blink of an eye, the dense bats' camp was burned by the flames around the fire dragon. They turned into countless black ashes and scattered to the ground!
"Boundless Heaven and Earth, Collect Heaven and Earth!"
When all the bats turned into ashes, the old man's roar came from the sky!
Through the ashes, Ye Fan saw the old man.
At this time, the old man held the gourd in his hand up high with the bottom facing the sky and the mouth facing down!
The mouth of the gourd flashed with golden light!
Whoosh …
As the old man finished speaking, a golden cyclone rushed out from the mouth of the gourd!
The golden cyclone spun at high speed like a whirlpool!
Whoosh …
Once the cyclone appeared, a violent storm rose and sand and stones flew!
Hualala …
All the stones on the ground, as well as the steel shavings and iron powder, flew toward the mouth of the gourd. In the blink of an eye, they were all sucked into the gourd!
Kacha … Kacha …
The tree next to Akatsuki was pulled out by the strange force. It rose slowly and flew toward the gourd!
"Ah …" Akatsuki hugged a big rock on the ground tightly and floated upside down!
"Woo …" Baihu Xiao Zhao hugged Akatsuki's arm tightly with its claws. Its white fox fur was fluttering in the wind!
The old man was going to suck in everything around him!
