"A Demon Beast of the Utmost Poverty Realm!" Su Chen’s face was exceedingly grim as he sadly discovered that the target of this giant bat was not only Li Ping but also himself.
He had been locked on as well.
"Jiuyou, what Demon Beast is this?" Su Chen communicated with Jiuyou.
"Black Demonic Fire Bat!" Jiuyou’s voice was incomparably heavy, "A very rare type of Demon Beast; had it not appeared, I would have thought that the Black Demonic Fire Bats had vanished from the Divine Martial Continent. Black Demonic Fire Bats come from the Ancient Era."
"The Ancient Era?" Su Chen inhaled sharply. The Ancient Era was even more distant than the Ancient Times, and the more ancient the era, the more terrifying the proliferation of martial arts. Therefore, in general, humans and Demon Beasts from the Ancient Era were much stronger than those from the Ancient Times, and those from the Ancient Times were also much stronger than those of the present.
"Kid, your luck is really bad," Jiuyou said speechlessly, "You’ve even encountered a Black Demonic Fire Bat..."
"Well, esteemed Demon Beast senior, this youngster hasn’t violated the rules between humans and Demon Beasts. It was her who broke them, cough cough, can you let me go?" Su Chen took a deep breath, raised his head, and negotiated with the Black Demonic Fire Bat.
"Since I’ve encountered you, and you’re human, it’s natural to kill you all!" The Black Demonic Fire Bat said indifferently, "Your blood, I’m quite interested in it!"
"Damn it!" Su Chen cursed again, feeling dejected in his heart. Li Ping, that lunatic hadn’t been shaken off yet, and now there was an even more terrifying Demon Beast. If he could survive today, Su Chen himself would think it a miracle.
"Cooperate." In the same second, Li Ping said firmly, "Let’s deal with it first!"
"Cooperate? Heh..." Su Chen said with a sarcastic laugh, "First, even if we cooperate, we can’t kill it. Second, even if we can kill it, you will still try to kill me. Either way, I’m dead, so why should I cooperate with you? I might as well die with you. If we can’t live together, we can die together, right? You’re quite a beauty, no, I should say stunning. Among the women I know, you can definitely rank in the top three. Dying here in this valley with you, I guess I could consider that a stroke of ~~luck!"
Su Chen really let himself go.
He viciously flirted, venting the frustrations in his heart!!!
"Do you want to die right now?" Li Ping looked at Su Chen deeply, her killing intent nearly spilling out of her beautiful eyes. If given the chance at that moment, she would definitely dismember Su Chen without hesitation.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t do it; she was locked on by the Black Demonic Fire Bat!
"We can work together, but how can I be sure that after it dies, I can survive?" Su Chen took a deep breath and said. Although it sounded nice, deep down he still wanted to live!
How could he be willing to die?
To stay alive, now, the only way was to cooperate with Li Ping.
"I’ll hold it off, and you use that black light beam you hit Li Feng with to kill it!" Li Ping transmitted her voice to Su Chen. In Tianhe Hall, when Su Chen finally struck down Li Feng, she could sense the terror contained within that black beam.
She was certain that even if she got hit by that black beam, she’d mostly likely die.
Of course, she was absolutely confident that even if Su Chen used that black beam, he wouldn’t be able to hit her.
"Agreed," Su Chen nodded, his gaze deep and unfathomable; no one knew what he was thinking.
"As long as you kill him, then I can assure you, at least today I won’t kill you," Li Ping said in a firm voice.
She didn’t promise not to kill Su Chen in the future, but she could agree not to kill him today.
"Fine," Su Chen nodded. He didn’t expect Li Ping to go back on her word because at very high levels of martial cultivation, one must adhere to their words or else they might incur Heavenly Punishment or be afflicted by inner demons. The source of thɪs content is novel[f]ire.net
Besides, Su Chen didn’t expect Li Ping to spare him.
What he wanted was to look for any chance during the upcoming battle to directly deal with both Li Ping and the Black Demonic Fire Bat! Although it was a far-fetched idea, what if there was that slightest chance?
Su Chen had much at stake!
Originally, he only wanted to escape with his life.
But now, he wanted more, first, he wanted to counter-kill Li Ping. Second, he wanted to get the carcass of the Black Demonic Fire Bat, the body of an Ancient Demon Beast! To him, it was an absolutely fantastic opportunity!
Su Chen licked his lips, his mind racing with various thoughts.
"Two little human kids, have you finished discussing? Will you commit suicide, or do you want to fight with this demon?" the Black Demonic Fire Bat sneered.
It didn’t care about what Su Chen and Li Ping were discussing because, be it Li Ping or Su Chen, they both seemed extremely weak to it.
"Ice God Transformation!!!" The next moment, suddenly, Li Ping raised her head and shouted.
Wings appeared directly on her back, silver wings. Not only that, Li Ping’s aura crazily surged.
In her hands, Li Ping held a weapon, but it was a Dao Artifact, a purple tetrahedron that looked like a magic cube. However, its form wasn’t solid but liquid, a liquid enveloped in a layer of silver-white Divine Charm and thunder and lightning.
"Quite interesting, a very nice Secret Technique," the Black Demonic Fire Bat was surprised and became a bit more serious. Then, with its massive ashen wings, it fiercely took off, flying straight towards Li Ping.
Its mouth widened as well.
Columns of fire descended from the sky, the fire columns were like magma, orange-red, boiling, and as it shot out, the entire cliff valley below was stained orange-red.
More terrifying was that within the entire valley, all stones and the air that were somewhat close rapidly disintegrated into nothingness.
Su Chen felt a sense of danger and oppression, even though he had practiced "True Fire Unity."
However, Li Ping seemed able to ignore it, as silver-white Divine Charm rippled around her, isolating all the heat, flames, and magma!
Her speed was incredibly fast. She shot up from the ground, soaring towards the sky. One hand held a longsword, and the other the purple liquid tetrahedron, like a Female War Goddess, she charged at the Black Demonic Fire Bat, her face emotionless yet she forged ahead.
"Die, human!" The Black Demonic Fire Bat, seeing its flames ineffective against Li Ping, was shocked but also more interested, and of course, its killing intent increased. Its wings suddenly vibrated, turning into a fierce, blinding ashen light, piercing through all the air and space, flapping towards Li Ping.
"Scram!" Li Ping was unhurried, her hand throwing the purple liquid tetrahedron outward. As soon as it was thrown, Li Ping’s red lips slightly parted, as if she was whispering the secret language of a Secret Technique.
In a fraction of a breath later, clear for all to see, the purple liquid tetrahedron suddenly spread across the sky like purple ink in the air, forming a strange, long, soft, and colorful barrier.
The barrier stood in front of Li Ping.
The Black Demonic Fire Bat’s wings hit the barrier, and shockingly, the barrier was left undamaged!
In that second, Li Ping appeared just beneath the Black Demonic Fire Bat’s neck as if by instantaneous movement.
The sword unsheathed.
A bone-chilling white light illuminated the entire valley.
That single strike precisely hit right below the neck of the Black Demonic Fire Bat.
However, chillingly, only a shallow wound appeared right below its neck, merely scratching the skin, not a fatal injury at all.
