129: Good man, you even swallowed your own child!

“This... this seems to be spiritual energy externalization?!”

“Could it be that this giant wolf has also stepped into that realm?!”

Seeing the defensive shield surrounding Lu Chuan, the Vampire Bat King was greatly shocked.

He hadn't expected that another powerful being like this had appeared in the Qinling Mountains at some point. No wonder he dared to touch the Red-Scaled Snake.

His massive clan attacked desperately but couldn't even break through Lu Chuan's defense.

However, the Bat King was a bit confused.

This Red-Scaled Snake wasn't just his subordinate; it was also the subordinate of the Qinling Xuanwu Giant Tortoise.

This giant wolf dared to swallow the Red-Scaled Snake. Wasn't he afraid of angering Brother Xuanwu?

The Vampire Bat King had met the white Xuanwu a few days prior.

The Xuanwu in the Lock Realm was extremely powerful. The aura it merely released was enough to deeply shock the Bat King.

And he also learned from Xuanwu that the ability to condense a shield outside the body was the mark of entering the Lock Realm.

“Chirp!”

Realizing that Lu Chuan's strength was extremely formidable and he couldn't afford to provoke him, the Bat King let out a sharp cry to recall his many subordinates.

“Snow Wolf King, perhaps there has been some misunderstanding between us.”

“We can consider ourselves acquainted after this fight. How about I, your junior, offer you an apology?”

Knowing the terror of the Lock Realm, this Bat King directly chose to back down.

“Heh heh, an apology?”

“This group of bats under you attacked me like crazy. How do you plan to compensate?”

Lu Chuan sneered upon hearing the Vampire Bat's words. The other party was merely intimidated by his strength.

If it were an ordinary fierce beast at Awakening Realm Nine Heavens, it would likely have been surrounded, killed, and drained dry by this group of bats.

Thinking he could make him calm down with just a few words? He was thinking too much.

“I already said, this was just a misunderstanding. I had no intention of attacking you.”

“How about this, another day I'll take you to meet my Brother Xuanwu. We are both big shots of the Qinling Mountain Range, and I believe Brother Xuanwu will definitely take good care of you.”

The Bat King didn't take Lu Chuan's words seriously and continued speaking on his own, even trying to use Xuanwu to back him up.

With such an arrogant posture, someone who didn't know better would think he was being magnanimous and letting Lu Chuan off.

Lu Chuan found the words of this Vampire Bat King incredibly laughable.

“I am not some Qinling big shot, and that Xuanwu you mentioned, in my opinion, is just a cowardly turtle. Does he even deserve for me to go visit him?”

Lu Chuan said with a scornful sneer.

“You have great audacity! How dare you be disrespectful to Brother Xuanwu?!”

“Bah! That cowardly turtle not only hides in the water all the time, but also shrinks his entire body into his shell. If not for that, I would have long since removed his shell and made soup!”

Hearing Lu Chuan's words, the Bat King was instantly filled with dread.

He had intended to borrow power and use Xuanwu to intimidate the giant wolf before him.

But he hadn't expected that Lu Chuan had already fought with Xuanwu. This was enough to prove that the other party's strength was even greater than he had imagined, making the Bat King even more wary of Lu Chuan.

“I truly didn't expect you to have such capability. What happened earlier was indeed my rashness.”

“Alright, stop rambling. Rashness comes with a price.”

Lu Chuan's patience was gone. He really didn't want to waste any more time talking to this Bat King.

This Bat King had been full of killing intent earlier and only chose to stop when he saw he wasn't Lu Chuan's match.

Now, clearly afraid of death and conceding, he still maintained a stubborn attitude, like a dead duck with a hard beak.

He showed no sign of begging for mercy. Instead, his tone consistently carried a hint of arrogance and condescension. He was simply courting death.

Lu Chuan was not a soft-hearted person. He wasn't magnanimous enough to easily forgive someone who wanted to kill him.

“Since that's the case, how do you wish for me to apologize?”

Lu Chuan smiled slightly upon hearing this. “It's simple if you want me to spare your life. Offer up all those little bats that attacked me just now. I'll take them back for skewers.”

“Bastard! Don't be too arrogant!”

Hearing Lu Chuan's words, the Bat King was furious. How could he not tell that Lu Chuan was deliberately humiliating him?

“This is the Qinling Mountain Range! No one has ever dared to talk to me like this!”

“Just a little bat? I'm bullying you, what can you do?!”

Lu Chuan's eyes grew increasingly impatient. He had already given this bat a chance.

But this Bat King kept this arrogant attitude, completely not putting him in his eyes.

He even suggested introducing him to Xuanwu, as if he was giving him some kind of favor. It was utterly ridiculous!

“Since you are so unappreciative, let me see just how capable you are!”

Angered by Lu Chuan, the Bat King flapped his wings and instantly flew into the air.

He opened his large mouth and actually spewed out monstrous flames.

A torrential rain of fire poured down from the sky. The raging flames glowed green, looking extremely eerie.

Clearly, this wasn't ordinary fire, but terrifying fire poison!

If an ordinary fierce beast were to directly take on this green fire poison, it would likely die a miserable death.

“Hmph! Courting death!”

Lu Chuan snorted coldly, then released his Ice Breath.

An ice-blue divine light shot out from Lu Chuan's mouth, instantly charging towards the Bat.

Fighting an Awakening Realm opponent with Lock Realm strength, and with their attributes clashing, Lu Chuan suppressed the other party almost instantly.

The green pillar of fire was continuously compressed, and the chilling cold made the Bat King shiver involuntarily.

He quickly withdrew the fire poison, flapped his wings, and flew away into the distance.

“If you have the guts, follow me to the volcano for a fight!”

A fierce glint flashed in the Bat King's eyes, and he immediately flapped his wings, quickly flying back to the volcano and disappearing into the crater.

“Perfect. This volcanic crater is very suitable for barbecue.”

How could Lu Chuan be afraid of this Bat King?

Even if the interior of the volcano was extremely hot and would suppress his ice power.

This Vampire Bat King probably didn't realize that he didn't just have one elemental power.

That lightning power was much more terrifying than ice, and not every fierce beast had defense as Heaven-Defying as Xuanwu.

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan suddenly felt that he could perhaps upgrade his talent abilities.

Many of his talents had already been upgraded to Advanced.

Lu Chuan was a little curious. What kind of changes would occur if his talent powers like Berserk Power and Ice Power, which had already been upgraded to Advanced, were to level up again?

Lu Chuan had previously felt that the 300,000 evolution points needed to upgrade talents were too many, so he saved them all for leveling up.

But now, just breaking through to Lock Realm Layer Two required one million evolution points.

In comparison, the 300,000 evolution points for upgrading talents were truly insignificant.

Lu Chuan followed behind the Bat King and soon arrived above the volcanic crater.

The temperature here was extremely high, with rolling heat rising, seemingly distorting even space.

Lu Chuan looked down from the air, and his eyes were met with a fiery red scene.

At the bottom were scorching volcanic rocks, and he could also see the flowing crimson-gold magma beside the black rocks.

The terrifying temperature here was enough to instantly melt steel!

If an ordinary fierce beast that had awakened ice power came to this volcano, its strength would definitely be greatly reduced.

At this moment, countless bats were hanging upside down on the inner wall of the volcano.

Looking up, it was a dense black mass, looking quite eerie.

A group of bats hung on the mountain wall, while boiling hot magma flowed below. This scene was simply like a purgatory.

And at this moment, the Bat King was inside the volcano, with ten giant bats beside him.

These ten giant bats next to the Bat King's body were noticeably much larger than ordinary bats.

“You snow wolf have great audacity! You actually dare to come into our nest! You are truly courting death!”

One of the ten larger bats immediately roared upon seeing Lu Chuan.

“Father! Let me go finish off this thing that doesn't know death!”

Lu Chuan discovered that most of these ten slightly larger bats were actually at Awakening Realm Seven Heavens, and there were even two at Awakening Realm Eight Heavens!

The power of this bat group was truly not to be underestimated.

Even without counting this Vampire Bat King at the Peak of Awakening Realm Nine Heavens, the strength of these other bats was also very powerful.

No wonder they could dominate the far west of the Qinling Mountains.

If these bat groups living in the volcano were to attack the human world in the future, they would likely cause a huge disaster!

Fierce beasts with flying ability were usually more difficult to deal with, not to mention these bats were also so powerful.

The most crucial thing was that these bats were also social creatures, numerous enough to blot out the sky...

“Don't go, you are not his match!”

The Bat King quickly shouted at his offspring.

He knew Lu Chuan's strength. If his few offspring went up, they would only be sending themselves to their deaths.

“Snow Wolf King! Do you really want to wipe us out today?!”

The Bat King looked at Lu Chuan in the volcanic crater and roared in extreme anger.

“When you brought this group of bats to kill me earlier, you had no intention of letting me go.”

“Now you're saying this to me? Don't you think it's ridiculous?”

Lu Chuan snorted coldly and mocked disdainfully.

Hearing Lu Chuan's words, the Bat King flapped his wings continuously in anger.

He turned his head to look at his ten offspring beside him, and a fierce glint flashed in his blood-red eyes.

Then Lu Chuan saw a large cloud of green poisonous mist spew out from the Bat King's mouth.

However, this green poisonous mist wasn't attacking Lu Chuan, but covered a bat next to him.

The bat covered by the poisonous mist clearly hadn't expected the Bat King to attack it.

It didn't even have time to let out a wail before it directly turned into a pool of blood.

Immediately, the Bat King opened his mouth and inhaled, and all this blood was sucked into his body.

Lu Chuan, who was nearby, couldn't help but click his tongue upon seeing this scene.

He knew that these vampire bats living in the volcano might behave somewhat abnormally.

But the other party's current action was still somewhat beyond Lu Chuan's expectation.

“Good heavens! Even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs, but I didn't expect you guy to even eat your own children!”
