Chapter Fifty-two: Blood Bat Demon Beast

  At this time, in the depths of the Blood Bat Cave, dozens of large blood bats surrounded Wang Ke in the center, making strange squeaking sounds with their mouths, and rows of red sharp claws shot out from their paws, shooting straight at Wang Ke.

  At this time, Wang Ke was surrounded by a pale blue spiritual energy shield, and a black spiritual shield floated beside him, blocking all the red sharp blades that shot over.

  At the same time, Wang Ke's feet performed a swift Cloud Step, his figure rapidly moving within the cave to evade the blood bats' impact. His hands also executed a sword technique, flying swords coalescing into a green dragon that leapt and danced in mid-air. The ground was already littered with numerous blood bat limbs.

  Facing these dozens of blood bats, Wang Ke was not flustered at all, his expression calm and composed. Suddenly, his expression changed, his right hand sword intent urged on, instantly the sword light in the air burst open, transforming into ten sword lights shooting out in all directions.

  "Hiss...!" The sharp sword light was extremely fast, and many of the blood bats in the air didn't have time to react before they were pierced by the sword light. Instantly, a burst of bloody mist exploded in the air, and several blood bat corpses fell down.

  Other blood bats saw their companions being killed, and let out a sharp cry from their mouths. They flew up in a flurry, but at this time, several more sword lights shot out from Wang Ke's body, breaking through the air with a loud whooshing sound. The sword lights had already flown halfway into the air before they instantly pierced through several blood bats.

  Then, more than a dozen sword lights suddenly turned into a sword net and flew towards the blood bat. The blood bats in the air saw the sword net flying over and swung their small paws, shooting out red lights. In an instant, hundreds of red lights converged and collided with the sword net. The sword net only trembled slightly but continued to rush towards the blood bats. In the blink of an eye, it wrapped up the group of blood bats inside.

  "Chirp, chirp..." The sword net enveloped them, and these blood bats knew that disaster was imminent. They burst out with bloody fangs, but no matter how they resisted, the sword net did not stop shrinking. After a moment, a shower of blood rained down from the sky.

  The sword net flashed, turning into a dozen or so sword lights that shot out in the cave. At this time, the speed of the sword light was significantly faster than before, already exceeding the speed of the blood bats. The sword light flickered, and the sharp sword energy spread out, with one by one blood bat being caught up by the sword light and turning into a corpse falling to the ground.

  At this time, Wang Ke's power to urge the sword light increased by more than double, these blood bats simply couldn't block it. Collecting her breath and hiding on one side, Qin Ke'er looked at the strength Wang Ke displayed, a look of surprise appearing in her eyes. At this moment, Wang Ke's displayed strength was obviously much stronger than when they had exchanged blows before.

  Qin Ke'er's expression changed slightly, and in an instant, she guessed that Wang Ke had hidden his true strength when they fought. Originally, Qin Ke'er didn't care about Wang Ke, but now she was somewhat curious about this ordinary inner sect disciple.

  Only to see the last blood bat in the air being cut off by the sword light, Wang Ke stretched out his hand and beckoned, and all the sword lights flew back. However, he didn't collect these sword lights, but instead said in a low voice: "Has the friend beside you seen enough? Can you show up now?"

  Originally, when Qin Ke'er arrived earlier, Wang Ke had already sensed it. Although Qin Ke'er's hiding technique was very clever, Wang Ke's spiritual awareness was much sharper than that of ordinary cultivators. He sensed that someone was hiding nearby and only then did Wang Ke suddenly burst out with power to deal with these blood bats, also in order to intimidate the cultivators on the side.

  But King did not expect that the monk hiding beside him was actually Qin Ke'er, who was still thought to be a monk among the Golden Sword group.

  "I didn't expect your strength to be so strong, you can actually sense that I'm beside you." Since Wang Ke had discovered her, Qin Ke'er simply walked out of the passageway and glanced at Wang Ke with a calm gaze. At this time, Wang Ke was facing away from the passageway, and when he heard Qin Ke'er's voice, his whole body shook violently as he turned around.

  "Little Master Zong, how did you end up here?" Turning his head to look, the one who walked out of the passageway was unexpectedly Qin Ke'er. Wang Ke was extremely shocked, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

  "What's wrong, can't I appear here? On the contrary, why did you come to this place alone, is it also for the cold spring water in the depths of the cave?" Qin Ke'er's face was calm.

  "What's 'Cold Pool Water'?" Wang Ke didn't know what Qin Ke'er was talking about, shook his head and said slowly: "I'm here to pick Blood Bodhi, I don't know what Cold Pool Water is. It seems our destination is the same, but our goals are different."

  Wang Ke calmed down and smiled slightly, saying that Qin Ke'er didn't say a word, but lifted her legs to go deeper, looking at Qin Ke'er's lovely figure, Wang Ke smiled slightly and followed up.

  The deeper they went, the thicker the eerie and cold air became, and Wang Ke's mood became increasingly heavy. It was strange that they hadn't encountered any more blood bats along the way, but instead it had become quiet inside.

  "What's going on? There isn't even a blood bat inside!" Wang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and just then, Qin Ke'er, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped in her tracks, her delicate eyebrows furrowed.

  "Be careful, there's a strong and eerie aura ahead." The warning voice came from Qin Ke'er's mouth.

  Wang Ke expanded his divine sense and indeed, from a not-too-distant place in front of him, came a fierce and bloodthirsty aura. This aura was extremely powerful.

  After a slight pause, Qin Ke'er continued to move forward. Wang Ke hesitated for a moment before following her. The aura was strong, but it hadn't reached the point where it was impossible to resist.

  The two of them hadn't walked far when a downward slope suddenly appeared in front of them. At the end of the slope, faint lights could be seen shining through, and beyond the lights was an enormous cavern.

  Qin Ke'er dodged down to the slope without hesitation, and Wang Ke followed suit. His gaze turned inward, only to see that this cave was exceptionally massive. The top of the cave was dotted with some glowing crystals, which illuminated the cave with a soft glow.

  The yin chill in here is more than ten times stronger than outside, and the temperature of the surrounding air has dropped a lot. The sudden burst of violent aura is a monster hanging upside down in mid-air.

  This monster was as tall as a person, its entire body wrapped in dark red blood light, looking like a giant blood ball, currently suspended from the top of the cave, powerful breath spreading outward in waves.

  Suddenly, a surge of cold spiritual energy fluctuation came, and the dark red blood mist surrounding the monster above burst open in an instant. Two red lights looked over, and the sound of flapping was heard. A pair of huge bat wings had been unfolded, and the monster's body was completely exposed.

  "Monster!" Upon seeing the monster's appearance clearly, Wang Ke's face changed color and he let out a cry of surprise. Even Qin Ke'er beside him was slightly moved.

  "Gag...gag... Ah, there are actually two human cultivators, just enough to become my supplements." At this time, the demon beast trembled its bat wings and hovered in mid-air, a pair of blood-red eyes staring at Wang Ke and Qin Ke'er. The demon beast's body was humanoid, with a bat-like head that looked extremely strange. Its voice was harsh and unpleasant to listen to, and when it spoke, the two five-inch-long fangs on either side of its mouth moved up and down, making it look exceptionally ferocious.

  Although this was Wang Ke's first time seeing a demon beast, he had already seen records of demon beasts in ancient texts. Some spiritual beasts with innate talents could absorb spiritual energy and cultivate like human cultivators, advancing their realm. However, the path they cultivated was extremely difficult, so there were very few demon beasts.

  However, ordinary demon beasts are far more powerful than cultivators of the same rank, because they not only possess strong physical bodies but also have extraordinary divine abilities.

  Right before his eyes, the demonic beast was a blood bat that had absorbed the abundant yin energy of this place, opening up its spiritual wisdom. It knew it didn't take many years to cultivate to its current state. Wang Ke also didn't expect such a formidable creature to exist in this Blood Bat Cave.

  His gaze shifted from the monster's body, and Wang Ke's eyes scanned the cave, only to see that behind the monster, a patch of purple vines crawled on the rock wall, with many thumb-sized crimson spirit fruits hanging from them.

  "Blood Peaches!" Seeing these blood-red spirit fruits, a hint of excitement flashed in Wang Ke's eyes. Indeed, there were Blood Peaches here, and not far below them was a square-shaped cold pond, with misty cold air surrounding it.

  "Gah gah gah, die!" A sudden cry came from the monster's mouth, its huge bat wings spread out, and in an instant, dozens of thick wind blades shot towards Wang Ke and Qin Ke'er, the sharp sound of breaking air echoing through the cave.

  Qin Ke'er and Wang Ke simultaneously dodged back, the wind blade struck the place where the two had just stood, instantly leaving a gruesome slash mark, blocks of rock falling down.

  Wang Ke had just steadied himself when another dozen or so thick, large wind blades suddenly came slashing towards him. These wind blades looked like sharp knife edges.

  His expression changed, his right hand pinched a sword key, and suddenly a sword light burst out of his body, condensing into a huge sword lotus in front of him, rushing towards the wind blade ahead.

  Feng Ya and Jian Lian collided, instantly emitting a strong impact sound. A burst of violent energy surged in all directions, and more than a dozen wind blades were shattered by Jian Lian.

  On the other hand, Qin Ke'er's right hand lightly lifted, and with a flash of sword light, she swung it down. A white glow flashed, and an astonishing white sword aura slashed out from the city, instantly wrapping up the dozen or so wind blades that were shot over.

  Only a dozen or so wind blades burst open, turning into nothingness in the sword energy, while the white sword energy continued to speed up and pounced on the blood bat in mid-air.

  However, a red gleam flashed in the eyes of the monster, and it instantly disappeared on the spot. The sword energy cut through the monster's residual shadow and fell on the stone wall behind, "rumbling" large rocks fell from the stone wall.

  "Be careful, it's behind you!" Wang Ke stood a little further away and suddenly saw the monster flash into existence right behind Qin Ke'er, immediately shouting out to warn her.

  A monster appeared behind Qin Ke'er, its blood-red eyes gleaming with a cruel and bloodthirsty light. Its right claw rose, flashing towards Qin Ke'er's back in an instant.

  Only the sharp claws flashed, with a fierce and unparalleled appearance, threads of dark red spiritual energy shuttled between the sharp claws, Wang Ke could see clearly, and suddenly became worried about Qin Ke'er.

  However, Qin Ke'er was not flustered at this time. A sword light burst out from the back of her heart and instantly cut off the sharp claws of the demon beast.

  There was only a crisp "ding" sound, and a burst of shocking cold air suddenly erupted from the sword light, blocking the demon beast's sharp claws. At the same time, the intense cold air rushed towards the demon beast's sharp claws, instantly condensing a layer of frost on its claws.

  The monster was shocked and suddenly shattered the ice on its claws, but at this moment, Qin Ke'er had already turned around, her right hand grasping a white flying sword, which slashed towards the monster.

  The monster's wings flapped rapidly as it retreated quickly, dodging to the side and avoiding the astonishing sword energy. It hovered in mid-air ten zhang away, staring at Qin Ke'er with its blood-red eyes that flickered with a faint red glow.
