Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 17 Surprise! Zixia comes to your door!
The fight happened in a flash, until Bao Dachu was kicked in the chest and flew out. Only then did the members of the Demon Cult react and immediately ran over to help him up.

Bao Dachu vomited blood, had two broken ribs, and his internal organs were seriously injured, but he had a smile on his face, as if he had won.

"Hahahaha, Lin Zhennan! You've been hit by my Blue Sand Hand. Without my antidote, you'll definitely die within an hour!" Bao Dachu laughed and spat out another mouthful of blood.

Then he continued, "If you don't believe me, you can check your calf. There is a black palm print on it, and it will grow bigger and bigger as time goes by until it spreads to your entire body! Cough cough! Cough cough cough! If you want to live, let me go. When you are safe, I will give you the antidote!"

Everyone in the escort agency's faces changed and they all gathered around to check it out!

Liu Mang casually waved his hand to stop him and lifted up his trouser leg to check Zhong Zhang's calf.

But as the tattered pants were lifted up, the exposed calves had no black palm prints, but the same bronze skin as always!

Bao Dachu's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "How, how is it possible! My Blue Sand Hand is extremely poisonous, even a slight touch can poison people. You were actually hit by my palm, how can you be completely fine!!"

Liu Mang laughed and said, "I can see that you didn't collect my information in advance. Lin's most commendable skill now is not the swordsmanship, but the horizontal training. Although your blue sand hand is vicious, my horizontal training requires the body to be trained by all kinds of poisons. Being immune to all kinds of poisons is only the basic effect. If you want to hurt me, you have to practice for decades more!"

"You, you!" Bao Dachu pointed at Liu Mang, unable to speak, and blood came out of his mouth even faster.

Liu Mang no longer paid attention to Bao Dachu, who was looking unwilling. He swept across the sky with his sword in his hand, and the familiar light of a knife flashed across the night sky.

With a sharp turn of the blade, Liu Mang rushed into the crowd of the Demon Cult members with a long sword in hand. The long sword swung back and forth continuously, and the Demon Cult thieves fell down. Bao Dachu froze in place, with blood rolling down from his brow.

At this point, all the members of the Demon Cult who attacked tonight have been killed, not a single one is left alive!
The escorts cleaned up the corpses and bloodstains in silence, but there was no joy on Liu Mang's face as he was worried about Dongfang Bubai's revenge.

Bao Dachu and his group died in Fuzhou City, which was almost an open declaration of war against the Demon Cult. Even if Dongfang Bubai no longer wanted to fight, he had to consider the thoughts of his brothers, and there was also the issue of the sect's reputation.

A battle with the Demon Cult seems inevitable!
Since there is no way to avoid it, then prepare for the battle! Liu Mang's eyes became fierce, and he had made up his mind!

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was gathered together, Liu Mang directly announced the next course of action.

"Tonight all the members of the Demon Cult died in Fuzhou. The Demon Cult's revenge will not be far away. Now listen to my command and prepare to fight the Demon Cult!" Liu Mang's voice resounded throughout Fuzhou with the blessing of his internal strength.

"Follow the chief's order!" Everyone responded.

Liu Mang nodded, morale was good.

"Pass on my order! Instruct the nine major branches to evacuate their branches within one month and bring all personnel to gather at the Fuzhou headquarters, led by Chief Shi!" Liu Mang gave the order.

"Yes!" Shi Biaotou took the order and left.

"Set up sentries within a 500-mile radius of Fuzhou City. If the demon cult members show up, retreat immediately and notify them with flares. Escort Captain Cui is in charge!"

“Yes!” Cui Biaotou took the order and left.

"Purchase powerful bows and crossbows for all escorts. Each person should prepare at least a hundred arrows. Escort Captain Zheng is in charge!"

"Yes!" Escort leader Zheng also took the order and left.

After arranging the three confidants, it is now the turn of the priests.

"Xie Hongfeng! As the chief of military affairs, you are responsible for teaching the escorts how to use weapons and basic battle formations, passing down the Sanyang Gong and Sanyang Kaitai, and completing the defense of Fuzhou City. You can choose ten priests to complete it with you!" This is one of the five first-class priests. He used to be an officer and was the one with the highest military literacy among them.

"Liu Xianlun, Song Xianying, Fan Ronghua, Kong Zuoyong, you will lead three priests and 3 guards to patrol the four gates respectively. If there is any situation, provide support immediately!" These are the other four first-class priests.

"The rest of the priests and escort leaders, join me in eliminating the followers of the cult in Fujian and surrounding areas and weaken the enemy's strength!" After the final order was given, everyone acted according to the chief escort leader's will.

That night, Liu Mang went to the government office and explained the interests to the prefect Jiang Yi and reached an agreement, which directly allowed them to deploy defenses in Fuzhou City without taking a penny of the 100,000 taels of silver.

The Fuwei Escort Agency had an already good relationship with the prefect Jiang Yu, and considering the court's stipulation that martial arts should be left to martial arts, the army should not interfere, so providing the city walls to the Fuwei Escort Agency was already the most they could do.

However, his opponent was the Sun Moon Sect, which was willing to burn, kill, loot and massacre the city at will. He also transferred his troops to station in the city to prevent the failure of the Fuwei Escort Agency from leading to a massacre by the evil sect.

Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Mang can send his family to the government office. For the sake of their long-term friendship, Jiang Yi is willing to save their lives if Liu Mang dies.

Liu Mang thanked him and left.

The next day, Liu Mang summoned all the priests and escort leaders to pass on the Bone Strengthening Chapter of the Book of Changes, and made it clear that this technique was too important so there must be means to prevent it from being leaked. Those who accepted the technique must also accept the restrictions of the Life and Death Talisman!
In order to make everyone understand what the Life and Death Talisman is, he specially captured a dozen evil cult villains overnight to demonstrate the effect!

The horrifying scene made the priests and escort leaders shudder, but after learning about the effect of the Bone Strengthening Chapter of the Book of Changes, they gritted their teeth and accepted the inoculation of the Life and Death Talisman.

After all, this is a supreme skill that can transform one's physique to the highest level. As long as there is time, all of them have the hope of advancing to the highest level!
On the third day, Liu Mang began to lead people to cleanse the surrounding evil cult forces.

With the help of self-investigation and external locking, they cleared out countless hidden strongholds of the Demon Cult in more than half a month, killed more than 3,000 cult thieves, and seized hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!
The forces of the Demon Cult in Fujian and surrounding areas were wiped out. Seeing that there was still time, Liu Mang decided to expand the scope of the cleanup and clear out the Demon Cult strongholds in Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang as well!
Such a big move by the Fuwei Escort Agency naturally attracted the attention of all the righteous factions.

After asking around, they learned that the Fuwei Escort Agency was going to go to war with the Demon Sect. All the major sects immediately sent teams to Fuzhou City, intending to take advantage of the situation to start a war between good and evil and defeat the ambition of the new leader Dongfang Bubai! Seeing so many people willing to help, Liu Mang also came to his senses and immediately asked people to spread the news of the war, and then attracted more heroes to come to support.

By the time the Sun Moon Sect decided to send troops to Fuzhou more than a month later, an army of more than 10,000 people had already gathered in the city.

Eighty percent of them are from the Fuwei Escort Agency, and the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect personally brought people to help, so the high-end combat power has also been greatly enhanced!
After the competition two years ago, the Fuwei Escort Agency became famous. Liu Mang took the opportunity to vigorously develop the business and recruit talents, expanding the number of combat forces to 2.

This is all thanks to the silver contributed by the Demon Cult, otherwise we really couldn't afford it.

Half of the 20,000 people ran away after hearing that they would have to fight a war with the Demon Cult. Not all of those who came were prepared to fight to the death with the Demon Cult. There were also many speculators and fence-sitters. Only about four or five thousand people could really be counted on.

Compared to when he first came here, he is now known as the best swordsman in the world. His shocking performance in the ring has spread throughout the world, and the number of people who are willing to follow him at the risk of their lives has greatly increased. Personal worship is useful everywhere.

Even those who came from all corners of the world to support him were willing to obey his orders. Except for the major sects, everyone was very happy that he was the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces!
This time, the support from various sects also includes a surprise.

That means Yue Buqun brought the Zixia magic skill to exchange for the Book of the Sword of Exorcism!

Liu Mang was very surprised. He hadn't heard what Zuo Lengchan had done in these years. What prompted Yue Buqun to make this decision that went against his ancestors?

Because he was very curious, Liu Mang directly pointed out Lao Yue's identity, captured him with the skills of a top master, and forced him to tell him what he was thinking.

The exposed and arrested Lao Yue gave up and explained the reason to him.

It turned out that there was a misunderstanding. Liu Mang's achievements over the years were obtained by practicing the Sword Manual of Exorcism. The swift sword skills and fierce force are the primary characteristics of the Sword Manual of Exorcism.

Besides, compared to that, it doesn’t matter whether to use a knife or a sword. He had guessed this two years ago.

However, Liu Mang was not much stronger than him at that time, which led him to feel that the Book of the Sword of Exorcism was just so-so and not powerful enough for him to exchange it for Zixia.

But then he received a secret report from Heimu Cliff that Dongfang Bubai had mastered the Sunflower Manual and defeated Xiang Wentian with one move!
How could this be possible! Who was Xiang Wentian? He was the Right Envoy of the Demon Sect, the King of Heaven, Xiang Wentian. Even if he personally went up against him, he would not dare to say that he could defeat him. In the end, this master was defeated by Dongfang Bubai in seconds!

Is it that Dongfang Bubai is too powerful or that Sunflower Manual is too powerful? Yue Buqun simply assumes that Sunflower Manual is the best, otherwise why didn't he kill in seconds before? Why did he have to practice Sunflower Manual?

Then how could the Sword Manual of Exorcism, which was derived from Sunflower, not be powerful?

Back then, Lin Yuantu won the first place in the world with this martial art! It must be that Lin Zhennan was too weak and caused Mingzhu Mengcheng to be defeated!

The more Lao Yue thought about it, the more it made sense. Lin Zhennan's talent was obvious to all, and after decades of practice he was only a third-rate person in the martial arts world.

As a result, he surpassed him after practicing the Sword Manual of Exorcism. Doesn't this further prove the power of the Sword Manual of Exorcism?

The more I think about it, the more I can't suppress my greed. Just because Lin Zhennan can't do it doesn't mean that I, Yue Buqun, can't do it!

After he obtains the sword manual and practices it, his strength will surely increase greatly. Then he can kill Lin Zhennan and take back the Zixia magic skill. Wouldn't that be free?
Thinking of this, Yue Buqun laughed out loud in his dream that night.

Unfortunately, he couldn't laugh now.

Liu Mang looked at the Zixia secret book in his hand, then looked at Yue Buqun, who had a look of "kill me!" on his face, smiled lightly, and let Yue Buqun go.

Lao Yue looked puzzled and didn't understand what this was going on.

"You, what are you going to do? Why don't you kill me! Are you insulting me?" You can tell from the gnashing of teeth that Lao Yue is very angry.

Liu Mang looked at him strangely and asked, "Master Yue, are you confused? You and I don't have any deep hatred. It's a fair trade. Why would I kill you?"

Yue Buqun hesitated to speak, "What a fair trade! Then why the hell did you arrest me? I thought you were going to kill people and rob them!"

"Then, can I leave now?" Lao Yue asked cautiously.

"Come on, go on. I'm not stopping you. I'm very satisfied with today's deal."

"You can rest assured. I am a principled person. I will only practice the Purple Cloud Divine Art myself and will definitely not pass it on to others. Relax your mind."

"Then I'll leave first. You're welcome to come and do business again next time!" Liu Mang waved goodbye and wanted to continue doing business.

Yue Buqun's face darkened. What the hell will you do next time? You are so arrogant even when robbing people. What the hell is fair trade!
Liu Mang was halfway there when he suddenly remembered something. He slapped his head and took out a cassock from his arms.

He was so curious about what Yue Buqun was thinking that he actually forgot about delivering the goods. The fair trade he had agreed on turned into robbery. This was really wrong!

But looking at the dark forest behind me, I decided to give up. I’ll make it up to Lao Yue next time!

Hey, I asked you to bring the cheats with you, now it’s mine, I must keep this gift from fate well (#^.^#)
