Chapter Fifty-Three: Joining Hands to Exterminate the Demons

  In the cave, the gloomy atmosphere was oppressive. The dark energy not only made the air temperature extremely low but also eroded the spiritual light shield outside her body. Qin Ke'er forced back the demon beast with one sword, her expression cold and indifferent.

  "Gag...not bad, this cultivator must be quite tasty" The beast's mouth let out an unpleasant sound, a pair of blood-red eyeballs rolled around, red light flashing out, as a red mist churned outside its body, releasing a violent spiritual energy.

  "What a powerful aura!" Wang Ke's expression changed slightly, and at this time, the blood bat demon beast's aura suddenly reached the peak of the mid-term Qi Refining stage, almost stepping into the Foundation Building stage.

  Suddenly, a winged beast flapped its wings and left a residual shadow in place, while three red lights shot towards Qin Ke'er from the front.

  Three crimson lotus flowers emitted a bloody glow, and an overwhelming aura of bloodlust emanated from the red lotus, instantly filling the cave. The sharp sound of breaking air also echoed through the cave.

  "Be careful!" Watching from the side, Wang couldn't help but remind him in a loud voice, his expression also changing suddenly.

  However, at the moment when Hong Mang shot over, Qin Ke'er's body flashed with a spiritual light and instantly disappeared from the spot. The red mangon passed through the illusion she left behind, falling on the hard wall of the cave, leaving three long scars in an instant, with strong corrosive marks around the scars.

  Wang Ke looked on in shock, indeed the demon beast's strength was more formidable than that of a human cultivator of the same rank. However, at this moment, Qin Ke'er had already begun to exchange blows with the demon beast in mid-air.

  Her figure flashed open, ordinary people could only see two residual shadows. Qin Ke'er grasped the flying sword, her face as cold as frost, and every swing of the flying sword brought up a shocking sword energy.

  The monster's strength was extraordinary, with a pair of sharp claws as hard as steel, and it actually clashed head-on with Qin Ke'er's flying sword, producing the sound of metal colliding with metal, and sparks burst out.

  The two exchanged blows a dozen times in an instant, each time making Wang Ke's heart skip a beat as he realized the monster's incredible strength. However, at first, Wang Ke was still worried, but after a while, he relaxed, thinking that if this was all the monster had to offer, it would be dead by the end of the day.

  "Gah... you're indeed formidable, it seems I'll have to put in some effort!" The demon beast suddenly flashed its body and retreated, instantly pulling open a distance of ten zhang with Qin Ke'er. Its eyes gleamed with blood light as it stared at Qin Ke'er, making an unpleasant sound with its mouth.

  "Rustle, rustle..." Suddenly, a strange sound came out of the demon beast's mouth, enveloping the cave. At first, it seemed like nothing was happening, just something odd, but after a moment, Wang Ke felt his internal spiritual energy start to churn and boil, as if there was an urge to burst into flames with the passage of time.

  "Not good!" A shock in his heart, he immediately circulated the Spiritual Breath Technique, spiritual energy circulating in his body, suppressing this boiling feeling.

  Fortunately, Wang Ke's spiritual power was refined several times more than that of an ordinary cultivator. If it were an ordinary cultivator, the short period of time just now would have been enough to cause his spiritual power to erupt in a frenzy of burning.

  The sound lasted for a good while, and when it stopped, the beast's blood-red eyes showed a faint shock, staring at Qin Ke'er.

  At this moment, Qin Ke'er had already taken out the transparent light cover at some point, and after the light cover became larger, it enveloped her inside, looking as if she didn't feel any discomfort.

  Although Qin Ke'er's expression was calm at this time, she was shocked in her heart. When the sound just came out, she felt that the spiritual power inside her body seemed to be about to boil and burn instantly. Fortunately, she took out the spiritual instrument and performed it, which eliminated the feeling inside her body. If it were an ordinary cultivator, I'm afraid they would have exploded their spiritual power and died in an instant.

  Qin Ke'er nodded and turned to look at Wang Ke, who was not far away, wanting to see how he was doing. However, at this moment, Wang Ke was standing on a rocky wall, seemingly unaffected by the sound waves.

  "It's strange, he doesn't have a spiritual tool protecting him, yet it seems like he hasn't been affected at all." A faint hint of puzzlement flashed through Qin Ke'er's eyes.

  At this moment, the most shocking thing should be the demon beast. This sonic attack is its specialty, which can explode the opponent's internal spiritual energy. Even if it's a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who is not careful, they will suffer heavy losses. There have been several human Nascent Soul high-ranking cultivators who entered the Blood Bat Cave and were instantly exploded by this move, killing two mid-term Nascent Soul cultivators on the spot. The late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator's spiritual energy was also severely damaged, and he was killed by it.

  However, at this time, Qin Ke'er had already figured it out. Although it was a demon beast, its spiritual intelligence had opened up greatly and it could also see that the spirit artifact outside Qin Ke'er's body was extraordinary in quality, able to block sound wave attacks, which was probably due to the effect of this spirit artifact.

  It never occurred to him that Wang Ke, who was standing on the other side at this time, did not suffer any damage under the sound wave, and suddenly let it sink.

  "It seems that neither of you is an ordinary cultivator, very good." The unpleasant voice came again, and at this moment, the demon beast also became serious.

  Suddenly, a crimson glow flashed in his eyes, and a red mist burst out from his body, instantly spreading out and enveloping the cave.

  A pungent bloody smell suddenly appeared, Qin Ke'er frowned, her slender hand lightly tapped, a white spiritual energy surged into the spiritual instrument in front of her, and instantly saw the transparent cover shining brightly, blocking the red mist around.

  However, this red blood mist was not simple. When it collided with the outer shell, it began to corrode Qin Ke'er's spiritual light shield. Qin Ke'er frowned slightly.

  On the other hand, Wang Ke's body was surrounded by a series of flashing spiritual lights, with four black Xuanwu shields encircling him from the inside. The shields combined to form a shield array, completely blocking out the bloody mist outside.

  Blood mist churned, a pungent smell assailed the nostrils, and only then did the surrounding stone walls begin to show signs of corrosion. However, the Blood Lotus was not afraid of such blood mist, without even half a change, Wang Ke finally felt at ease, his gaze shifting towards the direction of the demon beast.

  At this time, the cave was filled with crimson mist, and even the silhouette of the demon beast could not be seen clearly. Only the sharp cries of the demon beast could be heard from within the bloody fog.

  "Hah, then let you all be buried in the bloody fog!" The voice was full of complacency, as if victory was already within his grasp.

  "Hmph, you think you can win with this little trick?" Qin Ke'er's disdainful voice came out of the bloody mist.

  "Gah gah, this bit of blood fog can't do much to you, but what if we add some extra ingredients?" The beast's voice made Qin Ke'er and Wang Ke frown involuntarily.

  At this time, the monster floated in mid-air, suddenly opened its mouth, and two fangs were completely exposed. The five-inch fangs were blood-red, with extremely sharp tips, looking incredibly ferocious.

  The monster's lips twisted a few times, and two dark red blood beads emerged from the tips of its fangs. As soon as they appeared, a strange aura emerged, and the two blood beads suddenly burst and turned into a bloody mist that merged with the surrounding red mist. Suddenly, the surrounding bloody mist churned up, but at this time, the monster's eyes dimmed slightly, yet a sharp voice came from its mouth.

  "Go to hell, all of you!" Suddenly, the bloody mist around them surged and swept towards Wang Ke and Qin Ke'er. In an instant, the corrosive power of the red mist increased by more than tenfold, and both Qin Ke'er and Wang Ke felt their spiritual energy rapidly disappearing from their bodies. The two simultaneously turned pale.

  "Hmm" was all that could be seen as Qin Ke'er let out a cold hum, a flash of white light in her eyes, and suddenly a shocking chill burst forth from her body. In an instant, the flying sword flashed and disappeared, followed by a white light ball bursting forth from her body, rapidly expanding. At this moment, the aura bursting forth from Qin Ke'er's body had increased several times over.

  At the same time, another powerful aura burst out, and suddenly a sword light flashed out, forming a sword light vortex that twisted in the red mist. In an instant, a large piece of red mist was twisted to pieces and dissipated, revealing Wang Ke's figure. At this moment, twenty sword lights surrounded his body, with piercing eyes searching through the bloody mist.

  A powerful spiritual consciousness burst out from Wang Ke, instantly sweeping through the red mist. Suddenly, his eyes condensed and his right hand lifted, twenty sword lights converged into a single sword dragon, shooting directly into the left side of the red mist.

  The red mist in front was dispersed by the sword light, and a huge passage appeared instantly in the red mist. At the end of the passage, the monster suddenly came into view.

  "How is this possible!" He could hardly believe his eyes as he stared at the twenty sword lights shooting towards him, and a look of shock appeared in the red eyes of the demonic beast.

  At this moment, another terrifying force came from below, and a thick white light column burst out, rushing to the sky. The white light column broke through the red fog, bringing a terrible chill that instantly enveloped the monster inside.

  "Impossible!" The demon beast's voice was filled with terror, as if it still couldn't believe that the two could unleash such enormous power. It tried to dodge, but it was already too late.

  Surrounded by a white light pillar, instantly frozen in ice, and at this moment, Wang Ke's condensed sword dragon also rushed over, seeing the sword dragon striking the thick ice.

  "With a 'peng' sound, the sword dragon instantly pierced through the thick ice, leaving a huge hole on the body of the demon beast, then transformed into twenty sword lights flying back to Wang Ke's side in an instant and was put away."

  "Crack... crack... crack..." Suddenly, white cracks appeared on the surface of the solid ice, and then it shattered, with the monster inside plummeting downwards and crashing into the rocky bottom of the cave.

  Then, only a flash of red light was seen on his body, and after a moment, a yard-long blood bat corpse appeared at the bottom of the cave, suddenly revealing the true form of the demon beast.

  Qin Ke'er glanced at the corpse of the demon beast, then turned her head to look at Wang Ke, who also happened to turn his gaze over at this moment. The two people's gazes met in mid-air.

  Qin Ke'er's eyes were filled with shock, although it was just a brief moment, but the strength Wang Ke had shown was already enough to shock her. This was absolutely not the kind of strength that a Nascent Soul mid-stage disciple should have, and even among the peak strongmen at the late stage of Nascent Soul, there were probably very few who could reach this level.

  At the same time, Qin Ke'er was also surprised that Wang Ke could actually control twenty sword lights at the same time. In her mid-term as a disciple of Naqi, she had never heard of anyone who could do this, not even among the core disciples.

  It was obvious that Wang Ke had hidden a lot of his strength in the fight against himself, and now Qin Ke'er wasn't even sure if this was his true strength. Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, and Qin Ke'er's eyes suddenly became sharp.

  "What kind of person are you, and why are you hiding in Qingmu Sect?" In an instant, Qin Ke'er's eyes became sharp, and her body began to emit a shocking chill.

  Seeing Qin Ke'er's gaze full of hostility and vigilance, Wang Ke could only shake his head and smile wryly. Just now, he hadn't felt Qin Ke'er make a move, but in an instant, she burst out with all her strength. He hadn't expected that Qin Ke'er would also take action, and now he didn't know how to explain his own strength.

  "My name is Wang Ke, I am not hiding in Qingmu Sect, and I have no intention." Wang Ke said with a bitter smile.

  "Hmph, you think I'd believe you? Are you a spy from the Demon Gate?" Qin Ke'er's face remained cold and gloomy, with an expression of distrust.

  "Junior Master, it's not what you think. I swear on my heart demon, I am not a spy of the Demon Gate. I'm just an ordinary cultivator of the Qingmu Sect, with no ulterior motives whatsoever." Wang Ke said with a serious face.

  Qin Ke'er stared at Wang Ke and saw that his eyes were clear, not like a deceitful person. At the same time, he dared to make an oath against his heart demon, so there shouldn't be any deception.
