Reversing the Milky Way

Upon seeing this, Huang Biao couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn it, now there aren't even any heads left. How are we going to go back and report?" However, at this moment, his gaze towards the smoke began to turn to surprise. Suddenly, a charred leg stepped out of the thick smoke, and the blue glowing veins on the leg could be vaguely seen. Then, a pair of eyes glowing blue slowly appeared in the smoke, and Bai Cheng slowly walked out of the smoke.

His upper body clothes had been shattered by the immense energy of the lightning, his lower body pants were torn to shreds, and his shoes were nowhere to be found.

Huang Biao stared in disbelief at Bai Cheng emerging from the smoke. He had never seen such a scene before. Bai Cheng's entire body was blackened, a result of the lightning strike. His heart emitted a faint blue light, as did the blood vessels extending from his heart. Even the blood vessels on Bai Cheng's face and feet glowed with a faint blue light.

At this moment, the four henchmen around him were also so frightened that they retreated one after another. Some of them even said as they retreated, "Monster...monster!" Huang Biao also recovered from his shock and shouted, "What are you afraid of! Kill him!" After saying that, he gripped the long knife in his hand and attacked Bai Cheng fiercely. He leaped high into the air, gripped the hilt of the knife with both hands, and used all his strength to slash diagonally at Bai Cheng's neck.

Just as the blade touched Bai Cheng's body, a loud collision resounded all around. Then, to Huang Biao's astonishment, the blade produced huge sparks when it touched Bai Cheng's skin—sparks and sounds that could only be produced when weapons collide.

Then, Huang Biao's Water-Clear Blade shattered like an egg hitting a rock, the fragments flying in all directions with the sparks from the impact, some even embedding themselves deeply in the surrounding trees. The immense force caused the raindrops on Bai Cheng's body to splash everywhere.

As the rain splashed, Bai Cheng's skin, charred black by lightning, exploded like rust. Upon closer inspection, as Bai Cheng's skin peeled away, faint golden currents seemed to flash and disappear with each piece of skin that shattered, revealing Bai Cheng's originally fair skin. The blue striped light emanating from his body became even brighter, standing out particularly clearly in the gloomy rainy weather.

Huang Biao was speechless with shock at the sight before him. His Water Cleansing Blade was a low-grade magic weapon, capable of easily cleaving boulders, even refined iron ore. Yet now, only the hilt remained in his hand. Startled, Huang Biao took a few steps back and stammered, "You...who are you?"

Bai Cheng felt incredibly comfortable, as if every cell in his body was active. His vision was crystal clear, and he could even see the texture of the branches and leaves on a tree a hundred meters away. The fatigue and injuries he had suffered earlier had all disappeared. He felt like he had inexhaustible energy. He knew that he had returned to the same state as before, but this time, it seemed to be at a deeper level.

I thought I hadn't absorbed enough spiritual energy in the past few days to activate my previous state, but after being struck by this massive lightning bolt, I felt like a power bank, instantly fully charged.

At this moment, Bai Cheng smiled and said, "You ask me who I am? Well, listen carefully, my name is Bai Cheng!" After saying that, he took a step in front of Huang Biao, then swung his right fist back to gather power. A faint golden current was seen on his fist, and then he swung it forward with force.

His speed was incredibly fast; Huang Biao didn't even have time to raise his hand to defend before Bai Cheng's fist slammed straight into Huang Biao's face. Huang Biao's face caved in deeply, like dough, and his body was sent flying with the force of the impact, traveling over fifty meters away. Trees along his path were snapped by the force, some even having their roots uprooted by Huang Biao's body, leaving a trench more than three meters wide in the ground.

Seeing this, the four bandits around them were terrified. One of them shouted, "Run!!" They immediately turned and ran. Before they could take two steps, Bai Cheng took a leap and gave chase. A closer look revealed that with each powerful stomp of his bare feet, a faint golden current seemed to emanate from them. In a few seconds, Bai Cheng had caught up with one of them and slammed his hand into the ground, creating a massive crater ten meters wide. The bandit died instantly. The remaining three bandits, seeing this, fled with all their might.

However, Bai Cheng was not about to let them go. He had been chased and hacked all the way by them, so how could he possibly run away now? He then caught up with another person in an instant. To him, the movements of these people were like slow motion in a movie from a certain country. He was able to catch up with them without any effort.

Then, to the bandit's astonishment, Bai Cheng appeared in front of him and swung his left fist straight at his face. Since the bandit couldn't dodge at all, he was blasted fifty or sixty meters away by Bai Cheng, just like Huang Biao before him, and died on the spot.

The other two bandits also fled separately after witnessing this scene, but this was not a problem for Bai Cheng now. He then leaped up and chased after one of the bandits, who ran and jumped with all his might to escape.

Just as he leaped into the air and was about to land, he found Bai Cheng already standing in front of him, looking at him with the same indifference one would show to a dead man. He prepared to fight to the death, raising his long sword and gripping the hilt with both hands, aiming to strike Bai Cheng. However, Bai Cheng propelled himself forward, instantly leaping in front of the man and then delivering a powerful knee strike to the bandit's jaw. The bandit's jaw shattered instantly, and his body spun 360 degrees, flying a hundred meters into the air. The long sword slipped from his hand, only to be caught by Bai Cheng.

Although Bai Cheng's body was no longer afraid of the long sword in front of him, he had other uses for it. He then made a throwing javelin gesture, with the tip of the sword pointing in the direction the last bandit had fled. At this time, the last bandit had already disappeared into the woods more than 300 meters away from Bai Cheng because they had fled separately, but Bai Cheng could still see the back of the fleeing bandit.

He then shouted and threw his long sword. His right hand gripped the hilt tightly, and strands of golden lightning covered the blade. With a powerful throw, the long sword flew straight toward its target like a missile.

As the longsword flew towards the bandits, the trees blocking the way were like paper. The moment they were pierced by the longsword, they were crushed to pieces by the wind pressure around the blade and the golden lightning. In almost a second, the longsword pierced through the body of the last fleeing bandit, who was torn to pieces like a watermelon pierced by a bullet.

However, the longsword did not stop there. It flew more than 500 meters in a straight line before slowly losing power and embedding itself deeply into a large tree. At this moment, the bandit who was spinning 360 degrees in the sky also fell next to Bai Cheng, making a dull thud as he landed, splashing up the rainwater that had accumulated on the ground.

This was Bai Cheng's first time killing someone in this world, but he didn't feel uncomfortable. If he let them go today, these people would come back to kill him in the future, and even more innocent people would be harmed.

At this moment, he also noticed that his condition seemed to be lasting longer than before. "Sss... Could it be because of the lightning? Come to think of it, I seem to have felt a stinging sensation for no reason before this, just like when I was in the cave. Never mind, I should go back to Yu Qing's place first." Just as he finished thinking this, he was about to take a step out.

Unexpectedly, he had only taken one step when he felt a sudden loss of strength in his body, and the blue light on his body slowly disappeared. As the light faded, Bai Cheng felt excruciating pain coming from all parts of his body, even his genitals were in intense pain. This was because in this state, blue energy was flowing from his heart into every blood vessel in his body, and his body seemed to have returned to the pain he felt when his body was being disintegrated bit by bit during the transmigration.

Finally, after he screamed in despair, bright red blood gushed from his body, and he collapsed on the spot, falling heavily into a pool of blood.

Song Xian, who was on his way, also heard the heart-wrenching scream. He sensed something was wrong and quickly rushed towards the sound. There he saw Bai Cheng lying in a pool of blood.

"Damn it, am I too late?" After muttering this, Song Xian quickly went to Bai Cheng's side to check him. Bai Cheng was now naked except for his trousers, which were tattered. Even his shoes had been burned to charcoal by the lightning.

After Song Xian finished examining Bai Cheng's body, he found that Bai Cheng was unharmed and did not even have a single wound. So what was the bloodstain? Thinking of this, he got up and looked around. He then spotted the thief who had fallen from the sky and landed not far from Bai Cheng. He slowly approached and examined him. He found that the thief's chin was like soft mud, and his face was covered in blood and flesh.

He also discovered that in the nearby woods, there was a path that looked like it had been carved out by something, leading straight into the depths of the forest. All the trees along the path had been destroyed, and even the grassy area below was now just freshly turned soil.

Song Xian stared at the scene in disbelief, muttering in shock, "What...what is going on? Could this be caused by some kind of spirit beast? But spirit beasts of mid-level or higher would never appear in such a shallow forest."

Having said that, he stopped thinking about it. After all, as long as Bai Cheng was alive, that was all that mattered. Besides, the other bandits had only seen the one next to Bai Cheng; they hadn't seen the others. He then carried Bai Cheng back the way they came.

What he didn't know was that two of the other four bandits were unrecognizable, one of the other two was deeply embedded in the ground, and the other was dismembered and unrecognizable.

At this time, Yu Qing was...

At this moment, Yue Ling was locked in combat with two bandits. One of the bandits, a late-stage Body Refinement Realm expert, swiftly swung his longsword at Yue Ling, the immense force causing the raindrops in the air to whip around with each strike, making it appear as if he were whipping something. Yue Ling, however, dodged each attack like a fairy dancing in the rain.

At this moment, Yue Ling seized the opportunity and suddenly raised her right foot to kick the bandit's side of the face. The bandit quickly raised his left arm to block, and Yue Ling's slender, jade-like ankle struck the bandit's thick wrist. The tremendous force once again dispersed the rainwater around them. The bandit then remained in this position, his right hand's knife deeply embedded in the ground. His feet slid for more than twenty meters on the muddy road before finally stopping.

Another bandit seized the opportunity and attacked Yue Ling with his longsword. Yue Ling easily dodged with a backflip, then kicked the bandit in the back. The bandit reacted quickly, turning around and using his longsword to block. The bandit was sent flying, as his strength was only at the mid-stage of the Body Refinement Realm and he was no match for Yue Ling's sudden kick. He landed next to another bandit, rolled backward on the ground, and stood up. Had he not blocked with his sword, the attack could have seriously injured him.

Not far away, Yu Qing'an leaped up, his right fist seemingly imbued with invisible power, and launched a fierce attack at Hao Motou. Hao Motou raised his Cold Moon Blade to block, but Yu Qing'an's fist struck the blade heavily. The immense force instantly sank Hao Motou's legs, which were blocking with their blades, deep into the mud. The impact materialized in the rain, spreading dozens of meters away from his feet. By this time, the mud had reached up to his knees.

He couldn't believe that the person before him, who was also at the Great Perfection of Body Refinement, possessed such immense strength; even his own hands, which were wielding the sword, were numb from the impact. Yu Qing'an, after his attack, also created distance, then clenched his right fist, as if deep in thought.

After Hao Motou lifted his legs out of the mud, he slowly said, "You must be Yu Qing'an?" Yu Qing'an raised an eyebrow and replied, "Oh? You know me? Has my name already spread among the bandits?"

Meanwhile, Hao Mo thought to himself, "Damn it, it really is him. I've heard that this person's strength is not that of an ordinary Body Refinement Realm Great Perfection cultivator. If we continue to fight like this, I might be in trouble." After thinking this, he turned to look at Yu Qing's side and realized that he only had two men left, and these two men were facing a little girl.

Seeing this, he cursed inwardly. "How can these guys be so useless? They can't even beat a little girl. Damn it, forget about Huang Biao. Bai Cheng should be dead by now. They'll definitely retreat when they come back and see this." Thinking this, he blew a signal, and the ground shook from the woods to his right.
