No matter how fast Tu Nian ran, he only had two legs, and there was no way he could outrun a pair of wings on those bats. Seeing that the dark mass was about to pounce on his face, Tu Nian resolutely stopped and turned around, calling out to Chi Wenzhao, "Brother, hold on!"
The two had been preparing for the sect's melee for a long time. They didn't have a telepathic connection, but they did have a tacit understanding. Seeing Tu Nian turn around, before she could say a word, Chi Wenzhao had already drawn his sword and rushed forward, blocking all the bats rushing towards him from all directions.
Tu Nian was not slow either. He drew his sword with his backhand and moved it back and forth on the ground a few times. A formation was completed. In an instant, a raging fire ignited in the formation, surrounding the two of them and rising into the sky.
Wild animals are afraid of fire, and bats are no exception. As soon as this formation was launched, the bats in the front were immediately burned to charcoal by the flames with a miserable "squeak". The remaining bats that escaped the disaster fled in all directions and quickly disappeared from the sight of the two men.
"What's up with these bats?"
After putting away the formation, Tu Nian looked at the direction where the bats disappeared with a cold sweat.
Normally, these beasts would not actively attack humans, especially in such a large-scale attack, as if something was directing them from behind, which was very terrifying.
"Let's go, let's go quickly."
Chi Wenzhao did not respond, but still pulled her up and ran. However, due to the time wasted by the little bats in front, it was too late to run now.
"squeak--"
There was that shrill hissing sound again, but this time what appeared in front of the two was no longer a small bat, but an oversized bat that almost spanned the entire cave.
"It's the Bat King!"
At this time, some of the audience outside the secret realm have recognized this bat monster.
The Bat King is the king of bat-like spirits. Born at the second level, to grow to the size of the cave, one must be at least at the fourth level, equivalent to a mid-stage Jindan cultivator. Furthermore, the Bat King is a very bloodthirsty spirit. Upon encountering a living creature, it will likely fight to the death, making it extremely formidable.
It can be seen that Tu Nian and Chi Wenzhao found a big thing when they explored the cave, and it is possible that these two people will die here.
What will happen?
Looking at the two figures flying in the Red Dust Mirror, Nie Yanchen's eyebrows were as tightly knitted as his heart.
Please be safe, he said silently in his heart.
In the cave, Tu Nian and the other man had fought many rounds with the Bat King.
After this fight, they can be sure that this bat demon has reached the fifth level and has the strength of an early Nascent Soul.
Just as there is an insurmountable gap between the Nascent Soul and the Golden Core, there is no doubt that this bat demon is definitely not something that Chi Wenzhao and Tu Nian can deal with, especially since it is a demon beast. In addition to having a cultivation level similar to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, it also possesses an innate strong physique that is out of reach for humans.
Although Tu Nian and the other could now barely cooperate with sword symbols, one attacking and the other controlling it, their attacks could hardly break even its fur. If this continued, they would only become the big bat's dinner.
Look, the bat demon that had just been repelled for a while opened its bloody mouth in just a few breaths, flapped its wings and rushed towards them again, but this time they were not so lucky.
Tu Nian was still in shock and was stunned for a moment when the bat demon came. When she reacted and threw another immobilization talisman at it, the bat demon had already increased its speed. It dodged the talisman with a dexterity that was inconsistent with its huge body, and slapped her fiercely with its wings and sharp claws.
Tu Nian quickly picked up the Qingfeng Jue, but in the end she was no match for the monster's strong physique, and her whole body was exposed to the sharp claws. Finally, Chi Wenzhao flashed in front of her, raised his sword and took the bat monster's claw.
"puff--"
“Senior Brother!”
The force of the claw went straight through the paper and hurt Chi Wenzhao's lungs, knocking him several meters away. He used his sword to support himself on the ground and spat out a large mouthful of blood before he felt better. Tu Nian was shocked and threw several talismans at the bat demon without any plan. Although they had little killing power, the controlled spiritual power still made the bat demon dizzy and temporarily trapped it in place.
"Brother, how are you?" Tu Nian asked anxiously.
Raising his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his lips, Chi Wenzhao shook his head.
"We can't just sit there and wait for death any longer. We have to take the initiative."
All the healing pills had been taken away, so Tu Nian could only draw a few blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing talismans for urgent use. "Brother, you have to find a way to help me divert it for half a cup of tea. Leave everything else to me."
After she finished speaking, she had just finished drawing the talisman. She stuck the talisman on Chi Wenzhao, and when it lit up, she asked him, "Do you feel better?"
"Um."
Feeling the warmth gradually rising in his chest, although it could not completely eliminate the pain, it did have a slowing effect. Chi Wenzhao nodded and immediately stood up with the sword in hand.
"Half a cup of tea." He said, looking at the bat demon from afar.
Tu Nian nodded, his eyes firm, "Only half a cup of tea."
Without hesitation, Chi Wenzhao rushed forward with sword in hand. Tu Nian immediately got into the state and drew a formation on the ground with sword in hand.
Xue Shiqian, watching from the sidelines, was completely bewildered. He frowned and muttered, "Wind element, water element, this structure...what is she up to?"
Similarly, Mo Qingshan and Yuchi Chen in the stands were also puzzled when they saw this.
"Formations using these two elements usually only serve a supporting purpose. She probably wants to control the demon and wait for an opportunity to escape."
Mo Qingshan crossed his arms and analyzed for a long time before finally coming to this conclusion.
