Chapter 51: Mutation
"Where are you going?" Zhang Qingchen felt that something was wrong with Bingyi.
That day, he was very ill in Chandi Village. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave him a strange medicine. Although he woke up, his complexion was not good. It was not until these two days that he felt that his health was not as good as before.
The medicine seemed to be only a temporary solution and not a cure. His symptoms disappeared, but he became very strange.
During this period, whenever he saw Li Yuanying's white neck and thin skin, he wanted to bite it and get the bright red blood. In the past few days, he used his willpower to suppress it.
Blood.
He was extremely eager.
Now he looked at Bingyi. He had never thought that the woman in front of him was so beautiful. She was different from Li Yuanying. She did not have that feminine look. She had a cheerful and sunny look and a heroic face.
The blood of a woman like this might taste better.
When this thought flashed through Zhang Qingchen's mind, he was shocked.
He quickly shook his head, trying to put this horrible thought behind him.
"I want to follow His Highness." Bing Yi sighed. "After all, your junior sister and His Highness are humans and demons on different paths, so there will be no good outcome. So, when you see your junior sister, you must persuade her."
"What happened to my junior sister?"
"Instead of worrying about your junior sister, you should worry about yourself. You're already deeply poisoned. Let Fifteen help you understand." Bingyi glanced at Zhang Qingchen, "I have to go."
"What are you going to do? Tell me."
Bingyi ignored Zhang Qingchen. She patted Shiwu's head and said, "Shiwu, after you've finished begging Brother Qingchen, your mother will be here to pick you up soon. I'm going to protect His Highness Qi. You have to be well and don't run around."
Fifteen grabbed Bingyi's sleeve and said, "Sister Bingyi, please don't leave. I'm scared."
"Don't be afraid. Although Brother Qingchen has been poisoned, he is a man of strong will and will not do anything rash. I believe in him."
Fifteen then looked timidly at Zhang Qingchen and shook her head: "It's too late, Fifteen... Fifteen may not be able to save him..."
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the Shoumingwei Headquarters.
The deputy commander rushed in: "Commander Zhang! They're calling!"
"Who called?" Zhang Qingchen asked.
"Y-youkai!"
Zhang Qingchen drew his sword and walked out, but Bingyi grabbed him and said, "You must remove the poison now, or it will be too late!"
At this time, more than a dozen soldiers were blown away by a huge blue flame, crashing into the ground and the wall, spitting blood.
"No, he's here to steal the Polar Cold Lotus."
Zhang Qingchen didn't care about all that. He rushed out and shouted, "May God bless you!"
Due to his poor health, his fighting power was not as strong as before.
A silver umbrella collided with his sword, emitting silver flames. The umbrella did not stop attacking, but continued to move forward. He was unable to withstand it, so he retreated to advance, looking for an opportunity.
It's Shichiro.
As expected, he finally revealed his true colors.
All along the way, he had been pretending to protect Li Yuanying and cooperating with them, but in fact it was all for this moment, for the Polar Cold Lotus.
At first, he pretended to deceive Li Yuanying's feelings, and then pretended to quarrel with her, using the excuse of not following Li Yuanying to Yanshan. This is how he was poisoned by the Sand Puppet, so that he is now unable to resist. He was just making cautious moves.
The only ones who could deal with them in the Yuan and Ming territories were Li Yuanying and himself. Now both of his generals were killed, and the rest were just cannon fodder.
What a good move to cut off the firewood from under the cauldron.
He didn't even know where Qilang had taken Li Yuanying during the day, and now they were nowhere to be found.
I'm afraid it's very dangerous.
"Qillang! Are you worthy of Wanwan?" Zhang Qingchen shouted towards the door while dealing with Tu Lingyan Umbrella.
"She's infatuated with you, yet you're so cold-blooded!"
Due to a commotion, smoke and dust rose at the door, and a thin and tall figure was looming.
"May Your Highness Qi live in good health." Bingyi knelt down on one knee.
Qilang's temperament is completely different from before. He is no longer a cold and aloof young man, but has the attitude of a proud superior.
His face was cold and emotionless, as if he had never known Zhang Qingchen.
"Where's the thing?" His voice was low and ruthless.
"I won't tell you." Zhang Qingchen gripped the sword tightly in his hand. He felt that every time he activated his internal strength, a strange force overflowed from inside to outside. This strange force made him unable to control his desire for blood.
At this time, reinforcements from the Shouming Guard arrived, and dozens of people surrounded Qilang.
They were wearing armor and holding spears in their hands, pointing the spearheads at Qilang. They shouted loudly with great momentum.
Qilang took the Tuling Flame Umbrella back into his hand and stared at Zhang Qingchen calmly.
"Qilang, don't be stubborn. You can't break through the Guards of Ming Dynasty alone." After the Guards surrounded Qilang, Zhang Qingchen finally had time to breathe. He knew he only had this one chance, so he picked up the sword in his hand, raised it above his head, and chanted: "Sun and Moon Shine Together!"
The sword flew into the air, emitting thousands of rays of light. One sword turned into ten, and ten turned into a hundred, standing in the air, emitting cold light.
It takes all of one's internal energy to launch this move, and this internal energy accelerates the circulation of toxins in Zhang Qingchen's body. He feels a sweetness in his mouth and black blood flows out. The poison has already attacked his heart, and he is afraid that he is powerless to recover.
But he had to do so, he had to protect the Polar Cold Lotus.
Zhang Qingchen waved his hands, and thousands of swords were released at once, all rushing towards Qilang.
There was a dazzling light and flames shooting up into the sky, like a loud thunder that lasted for a long time.
Zhang Qingchen's desire for blood became more and more urgent. In his eyes, the Shouming Guards standing in front of him were like lambs to be slaughtered.
Blood.
Blood.
A low growl came from his throat.
Fifteen was so frightened that he crawled into Bingyi's arms: "The green rabbit turned green!"
"Zhang Qingchen!" Bingyi called out the name.
Zhang Qingchen's skin had completely turned dark green, and his eyes were bloodshot and turned red.
He was breathing heavily, but still had a trace of consciousness.
Is he dead?
Is that person dead?
When the fire disappeared, Qilang walked out unharmed. He looked at Zhang Qingchen coldly, with a strong demonic aura emanating from his body. The dozens of Shouming guards surrounding him were so scared that they began to retreat one after another.
"This one won't die..."
"Monster...it's really a monster..."
Everyone started to panic.
Qilang raised the Soul-Slaying Flame Umbrella. Everyone thought he was going to attack, and they were so scared that they quickly pointed their spears at Qilang.
Bingyi looked at Qilang's posture and knew that something was wrong.
Sure enough, when Qilang raised the Tuling Flame Umbrella, he did not use the umbrella to attack, but opened the umbrella and held it quietly. Then, he recited a spell softly.
The sky suddenly darkened, and dark clouds gathered and became thicker and thicker. There seemed to be evil spirits surging in them, giving people a sense of foreboding.
Zhang Qingchen looked up at the sky vigilantly, wondering how powerful Qilang's move was.
Suddenly, black rain began to fall from the sky.
Crackle.
It started small, then grew bigger and bigger.
Bingyi immediately transformed into his true form and rushed towards Zhang Qingchen.
The guards had no time to hide, and the black raindrops fell on their bodies. When the raindrops touched their skin, they began to corrode their flesh like sulfuric acid. Blood holes of various sizes appeared on the bodies of the guards, black blood gushed out, and rotten flesh splattered.
Scream.
Scream.
The whole Shoumingwei headquarters was filled with shrillness.
It was only then that everyone realized that the umbrella in his hand was not an offensive weapon, but a defensive one.
As the rain got heavier, their strong desire to survive prompted them to run desperately into the house. However, as soon as they entered the house, the liquid like sulfuric acid started to burn. They howled and rolled on the ground until they were burned to death.
Bingyi used his real body to protect Zhang Qingchen, so he was not injured, but he was completely controlled by the poison. He curled up on the ground like a wild beast, howling constantly.
He was fighting his desires with his last bit of sanity.
It would have been better if she could have come to rescue him earlier, but her master wouldn't let her. Only after Qilang came back did he find a way to release her and Shiwu.
It's all too late.
Fifteen told her that if the poison entered his heart, he would be incurable and would become a "green rabbit" forever.
If he hadn't tried his best to fight against His Highness, it might have been more than that.
Bingyi didn't know why, but he began to feel guilty towards the human in front of him.
"Zhang Qingchen, don't you always hide behind everything? Don't you always think twice before doing anything? Why are you so reckless this time?"
The rain has stopped.
Bingyi also turned back into human form. She hugged Zhang Qingchen, trying to make him more sober.
Perhaps, he was not a person who was afraid of death.
"He is already disabled. Let's go and find the Polar Cold Lotus." Qilang put away the Soul-Slaying Flame Umbrella and left these words when he passed by Bingyi, then walked straight into the Shoumingwei headquarters.
The Polar Cold Lotus should be hidden in the innermost room.
Because Qilang has already felt the breath of the polar cold lotus.
"Fifteen, can he still be saved?" Bingyi asked.
Fifteen pointed at the two swords on Bingyi's waist, and Bingyi quickly handed the swords to Fifteen.
Fifteen cut his wrist and stuffed it into Zhang Qingchen's mouth.
When Zhang Qingchen felt the blood rushing into his mouth for the first time, his body was like a field that had been dry for a long time and finally rained, eagerly craving for the nourishment of rain and dew.
He sucked and swallowed greedily, as if he was eating a delicacy.
Fifteen's face became increasingly ugly. Bingyi pushed Zhang Qingchen away, but he had already lost his mind and pounced on him again.
Bingyi kicked Zhang Qingchen in the stomach, sending him flying far away.
Zhang Qingchen, who was hit hard, came back to his senses. He stared blankly at everything happening in front of him, and then looked at his black and green hands.
He seemed to understand something.
Zhang Qingchen jumped up, jumped over the wall of Shouming Guard, and ran towards the outside of Chang'an.
He now had only one thought, which was to quickly leave the crowded area.
Because he was so thirsty for blood.
