"You can't escape!" Tang Chen led a group of Title Douluos in a grand pursuit, catching up to the Scarlet Nine-Headed Bat King, which had already adjusted its state.
"Escape?" The Scarlet Nine-Headed Bat King let out a scornful laugh. "When has a majestic Asura King like me ever needed to escape!"
"I was just taking my power back. Come on, let's start the second round."
Tang Chen, who had caught up, clearly sensed something. The vast majority of the living beings in Slaughter City had been devoured by the creature before him.
"You actually devoured so many lives! You deserve to die!"
As the former Haotian Douluo of the Clear Sky School, and even as the current Asura King, he didn't possess the bloodthirsty nature of the Scarlet Nine-Headed Bat King.
His essence was human, after all, so he still had some moral bottom line.
But the Scarlet Nine-Headed Bat King was truly digging up the very foundations of Slaughter City, and also undermining the Clear Sky School's base.
In Tang Chen's view, Slaughter City was his possession, a place to select personnel to deal with Spirit Hall.
Now, it was all gone.
Damn it.
The inherently evil Scarlet Nine-Headed Bat King.
"Get angry! Be furious!" Maniacal laughter appeared on the faces of each of the Scarlet Nine-Headed Bat King's nine heads. The sharp, grating sound was inexplicably chilling.
"Tang Chen, oh Tang Chen! If before I was still worried about your strength..."
"Remember my words, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river."
A red storm appeared before it, accompanied by red ripples of soul power, surging towards Tang Chen.
Seizing this opportunity, it dove downwards, its target precisely Tang Hao.
"You want to parasitize Hao'er? Who gave you the guts!" Tang Chen transformed into a crimson red light, arriving on the ground. The Asura God Sword in his hand slashed towards the oncoming enemy.
"Jie jie jie, you fell for it." The Scarlet Nine-Headed Bat King had predicted Tang Chen's prediction.
Using the killing intent of the Asura God Sword, it rapidly retreated, its speed far exceeding before. Even if Tang Chen wanted to give chase, it was too late.
"Found you at last, the Soul Master who controls spatial power."
"As long as I can obtain your ability, I'm confident I can leave Slaughter City. Then the sky will be vast for the bird to fly, no longer bound by anything."
"Quite skilled at making a feint to the east and attacking in the west!" The red figure growing larger and larger in her retina made Ning Rongrong quite speechless.
The target wasn't Tang Hao, but herself?
Did it sense something when it devoured my White Queen doppelganger!
Ning Rongrong was thoughtful.
Originally, heaven has a virtue of cherishing life.
I didn't want to kill so quickly. I wanted to wait until you were both weakened before making a move, then wave my sleeves and leave without taking a single cloud.
Before I could even act, you took the initiative to attack first.
Thinking of the words transmitted by Tokisaki Kurumi, Ning Rongrong felt her eyelids twitch.
Having such a large bat got in, Ning Rongrong's body and spirit both rejected it. Even if it was just a soul body, it was still creepy!
"But, will Kurumi really be okay over there without my help?"
The Scarlet Nine-Headed Bat King before her not only had remnants of the Asura God's divine power but also remnants of the Rakshasa God's divine power.
If it's just Kurumi alone, what if she overestimates her abilities and we both end up doomed?
"Human, it will be over soon!"
Seeing that Ning Rongrong seemed not to have reacted, or perhaps knew it was impossible to resist him and had given up, the Scarlet Nine-Headed Bat King couldn't help but speak:
"Quite a beauty, completely different from the other women in Slaughter City."
"But it doesn't matter, your body will be mine from now on." The Scarlet Nine-Headed Bat King, with its ferocious face and fangs, spoke in a hoarse voice that felt extremely creepy.
Hearing the bat's words, Ning Rongrong's mouth twitched inexplicably:
"Grass"
A type of plant.
Why does this bat feel a bit... improper!
The red light drilled into her body, and Ning Rongrong's entire form trembled slightly.
In an instant, scarlet red flames continuously burst forth. Ning Rongrong slowly closed her eyes.
But the scarlet red flames erupting around her body, and the twin tails gently stirred by the flames beneath, gave her an extremely sinister and eerie feeling.
"Not good, I've been tricked!"
It was so difficult to force it out of my body before, and now it has found a host again.
Judging by this guy's words, the host it has parasitized now is absolutely not simple.
"No other way." After separating from the Nine-Headed Bat King, Tang Chen wasn't at his peak condition either now. He didn't even dare to use the divine power within the Asura God Sword.
At least before his soul recovered, he wouldn't be able to bear the strain of the Asura God Sword's divine power. Recovery would probably take some time.
"Tang Lie, you all find a way to stop her from escaping. Buy me some time. I need to set up a seal to completely seal her away."
Hearing Patriarch Tang Chen's words, the four Title Douluos nodded and accelerated towards Ning Rongrong.
"Clear Sky Nine Absolute Techniques – Sky-Piercing Strike."
A huge Clear Sky Hammer appeared in Tang Lie's hands. He raised it high with both hands and fiercely swung it towards Ning Rongrong's location.
A host parasitized by the Nine-Headed Bat King wouldn't die so easily. Even if it died, the Nine-Headed Bat King would find a way to keep it alive.
This way, perhaps they could severely injure the other party.
"Boom"
A violent tremor came from the ground. After the smoke dispersed, Ning Rongrong's figure was nowhere to be seen.
"Seventh Elder, behind you!"
"What?" Tang Lie was shocked, completely unaware of how the young girl, or rather the Scarlet Nine-Headed Bat King, had dodged the attack.
"Don't worry, I'll help Old Seventh."
The Clear Sky School's Third Elder was a rather short old man. He also raised his Clear Sky Hammer. His somewhat short stature made it hard to contrast the heavy iron hammer with his appearance.
Another Clear Sky Nine Absolute Techniques strike fiercely swung towards Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong retreated two steps, lightly leaped into the sky, and dodged again. The ground erupted with a terrifying loud noise, dust filling the air.
The flames around Ning Rongrong remained scarlet red, becoming increasingly darker.
Her eyes tightly closed, she continuously dodged the attacks of the four Clear Sky School Elders.
Without counterattacking, just dodging like this, not a single one of them could land a hit.
In the distance, the trembling cockscomb-haired youth and the scarred-faced Soul Douluo.
"Is the White Queen this strong?"
They glanced at each other, their faces filled with disbelief. She seemed completely at ease under the joint attack of four Title Douluos.
What did that make their previous battle with her?
"Perhaps she was parasitized by that red bat calling itself the Asura King," the cockscomb-haired youth said uncertainly.
"Unlikely," the scarred man shook his head solemnly.
"Why?"
The cockscomb-haired youth was puzzled.
"Just a feeling," the scarred man sighed softly. It was because the White Queen hadn't resisted the bat's parasitism from start to finish.
To say she couldn't react in time? She wasn't even flustered when surrounded by four Title Douluos.
Would she do nothing at all and let others parasitize her so easily? Thinking about it, it seemed impossible.
But the scarred man didn't voice these thoughts. The Clear Sky School side, perhaps being the ones involved, were blinded. He didn't know if they had realized this point or not.
Suddenly, two black figures emerged from the side of the Hell Killing Arena, heading straight for Ning Rongrong's position.
"That's the Breaking Soul Spear!" the scarred man exclaimed. "The two chief and deputy law enforcement captains have joined the battle."
Title Douluos were strong, no doubt, but the scarred man was most impressed by Deputy Captain Yang Wudi's Breaking Soul Spear.
That terrifying offensive power, having faced it once, was unforgettable. It was definitely power comparable to a Title Douluo.
However, the vast attack seemed to land on cotton, sinking into the ocean without a trace.
Ning Rongrong cleverly used her position to avoid the attacks of Yang Wudi and the black-armored captain.
Apart from the scarlet red flames bursting forth, Ning Rongrong seemed to have entered a mysterious state.
Agile, ethereal…
As if integrated with the surrounding environment.
