Chapter 85: Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King_1
After dealing with the Thousand Year Spider, it took Xu Sheng almost half an hour to reach the end of the narrow path...
However, as his gaze pierced the red glow to clearly see the scene before him, he couldn't help but inhale sharply...
He hadn't escaped at all, but had instead walked straight into the enemy's lair!
In front of Xu Sheng was a cave perched in the air, teeming with at least thousands of densely packed, blood-red little bats all nestled together...
Seeing that he hadn't startled them awake, Xu Sheng quietly breathed a sigh of relief...
He took careful steps forward, trying to minimize his noise as much as possible...
Suddenly, a creature hovering in the sky launched an ultrasonic wave, aggressive in nature, directly at Xu Sheng's location...
With a "bang," the attack wave hit the cave, and faint cracks began to spread across the ground...
But it was these slight cracks that woke all the blood-colored little bats roosting in the cave, and a dense swarm of bats, flapping their wings, covered nearly half the sky...
Hanging in the air in front of these small bats was none other than their ruler, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King!
Its formidable body was nothing like a bat, being at least hundreds of times larger than the other bats, and its massive size made Xu Sheng doubt whether the cave could support it!
Not only that, but this bat boasted three heads, each with dark gold light flickering at the corners of the eyes, and a wingspan of over ten meters! And according to the soul power fluctuations it emitted, it was at least a hundred thousand-year-old soul beast!
Xu Sheng's pupils constricted as he looked up at the thousands of bats in the air and exclaimed in astonishment, "With so many bats, and me without a Martial Soul, it's impossible to kill them all barehanded! Not to mention their agility, which far exceeds other creatures!"
Moreover, even though he was a Titled Douluo level expert, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King's attack was composed of ultrasonic waves! It could completely bypass the physical body and directly target his spiritual power.
Feeling a growing sense of urgency, he bit his thin lips silently. Faced with so many bats, he didn't know what to do!
It was clear that he couldn't rely on his bare hands!
That left only external forces... right, soul tools!
With that thought, a gleam flashed across Xu Sheng's eyes. Hell's Path might have suppressed his Martial Soul, but it didn't restrict the use of storage soul tools!
No sooner had he spoken than he quickly accessed his storage soul tool and immediately pulled out a triangular box-shaped object...
At the same time, including the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, the thousands of small bats had already pinpointed Xu Sheng's location through their sound waves...
With a fierce roar from the former, countless blood-red little bats opened their narrow, sharp fangs and surged toward Xu Sheng, thirsty for blood...
In desperate haste, Xu Sheng activated the triangular box in his hand, and a thin blue protective shield enveloped his entire body...
The blood-color bats that collided with the light barrier were all repelled and flung away...
Seizing the moment, Xu Sheng continued to search through his storage soul tool...
However, there wasn't much of use in Xu Sheng's storage soul tool, but he managed to find one item that could be of marginal use...
That was the Exploding Crystal, also known as Longxu Needle after it shattered into needle form!
Given its attack power, capable of breaking through Zhao Wuji's defense, it could likely easily penetrate the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King's defense as well!
Subsequently, Xu Sheng quickly took out the Exploding Crystals he had purchased at Flender's Shop. At the same time, his eyes happened to catch the ring inside the storage soul tool, still vibrating...
Xu Sheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Ever since he had bought the ring, besides the "buzzing" noise it made affecting him, he hadn't gleaned any other seemingly useful information.
Shaking his head, when he casually grabbed the ring, he vaguely sensed that the connection with his First Martial Spirit, the Nine-Hearted Begonia, had actually strengthened slightly...
Xu Sheng thought he was hallucinating and calmed himself to sense it again, only to discover that the connection with the Nine-Hearted Begonia had indeed grown stronger!
Thinking of a possibility, he immediately put on the red ring and then tried to summon the Nine-Hearted Begonia...
The next second, only to see the Nine-Hearted Begonia in Xu Sheng's right palm bloom with a crimson glow...
Looking at the Martial Soul in his hand, Xu Sheng's eyes hardened, "This ring can actually break some of the constraints this place has on me!"
Unfortunately, even though he could summon his Martial Soul, he still couldn't use his Soul Skills!
During Xu Sheng's brief contemplation, the triangular soul tool's protective barrier had become full of cracks and would collapse before long.
Regaining his composure, Xu Sheng turned his gaze to the Exploding Crystal in his left hand and resolutely punched it...
"Bang!" The Exploding Crystal burst instantly, scattering around and turning into numerous thread-like golden substances, which then, incredibly, sharpened into needles in the air!
With a wave of his hand, the tendrils of the Nine-Heart Asiatic Apple quickly wrapped around all the Exploding Crystals and then passed them into his own hands...
And the triangular-shaped soul tool could no longer hold on and directly shattered into sparkling particles and dissipated...
The source of the shattered soul tool, the Blood-colored Bats turned their gaze toward Xu Sheng again, surging towards him in large numbers...
In his mind, Xu Sheng silently said, "If my memory serves me right, the weakness of these Blood-colored Bats should be Domain-Class Soul Skills!"
But at this moment, he couldn't even reveal his Soul Rings, let alone use Domain-Class Soul Skills.
However, he might just be able to try using the materialization of killing intent...
Thousands of Blood-colored Bats had already reached in front of Xu Sheng, just a step away from pouncing on his body...
A massive, nearly tangible, horrifying killing intent spread out from Xu Sheng as the center, radiating outward...
Once the Blood-colored Bats entered the range of the killing intent, they seemed to have encountered some terrifying thing and decisively gave up on Xu Sheng, screaming madly as they fled from around him...
These Blood-colored Bats flew right past the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, which began to roar, apparently commanding them to continue attacking Xu Sheng.
However, to little effect, these Blood-colored Bats decisively ignored its commands and, as if affected by fear, fled desperately towards the back...
Seeing the Blood-colored Bats dispersing, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King roared in fury a few times, its pale golden eyes filled with infinite killing intent, firmly fixed on Xu Sheng...
With those smaller bats out of the way, Xu Sheng's situation finally became much easier...
His gaze, filled with a chill, shifted slightly upward as he sized up the colossal figure flying above, coldly saying, "Now only you, the one-hundred-thousand-year Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, remain!"
As long as he could bind this Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, or utilize the paralyzing effect of the Nine-Hearted Begonia's tendrils to reduce its agility, killing it was only a matter of time...
