Chen Hao and Xie Xiaofeng had just left the Nether Acupoint when the Bat Demon King appeared before them.

The moment Chen Hao saw the Bat Demon King, a jolt of fear shot through his heart, and his legs weakened. Immediately, he diverted his gaze to the cracked pavement beside him, caused by a stone.

Sensing Chen Hao's fear, Xie Xiaofeng whispered in his ear, "Damn it, don't look at him. Just follow my command."

Chen Hao nodded.

"Hmph, you've finally shown yourselves!" The Bat Demon King scoffed. "There's something I really can't figure out. Yesterday, I clearly saw you, little Chen Hao, die from my poison fog. How did you come back to life afterwards?"

Chen Hao chuckled twice, then replied with a trembling voice, "At that time, I was just pretending to be dead!"

His gaze never dared to meet the Bat Demon King's.

"Where did you go afterwards? I searched for a long time but couldn't find you!" the Bat Demon King continued.

"Where did you go last night, then? We searched for a long time and didn't see you either! Instead, we saw that Cyclops monster," Xie Xiaofeng said.

"It's because of a bet we had," the Bat Demon King said with a laugh, "The Cyclops old monster, King Mieji, and I are sworn brothers. Naturally, King Mieji is our eldest brother, but it's never been settled who is second or third. So, we wanted to decide through you, Chen Hao, who gets to be second and who is third."

With that, the Bat Demon King's eyes suddenly flashed murderously, and his voice turned exceptionally cold, "Whoever kills you first will be second!"

"You're actually using me for a bet!" Chen Hao said with a mix of laughter and dismay. "What if you all lose to me?"

"That's impossible!" The Bat Demon King spoke with contempt. "Even though you have killed two Dharma Kings before, according to my observations over these past two days, you have been overestimated. You're nowhere near as powerful as imagined!"

Hearing this, Chen Hao felt extremely indignant and glared angrily at the Bat Demon King. But before he could retort, he was so frightened by the Bat Demon King's appearance that he lost all his bravado and subsequently lowered his head again.

"Ha ha!" The Bat Demon King laughed loudly. "Chen Hao, you seem to be very afraid of me!"

After taking a couple of deep breaths, Chen Hao closed his eyes and faced the Bat Demon King, saying, "I am afraid of you, and the reason is simple, you're too ugly. Just seeing you makes me uncomfortable all over. Also, according to my observations these past two days, you have not been overestimated, because you have never been highly regarded by me. To deal with a bat like you, I only need to use thirty percent of my effort!"

"You!" The Bat Demon King gnashed his teeth, clearly enraged by Chen Hao.

Hearing the grinding sound of the Bat Demon King's teeth, Chen Hao felt very pleased and added fuel to the fire, "Compared to Dharma Kings King Ning and King Xin, you're really much inferior. It's beyond me how King Mieji could stoop so low as to become sworn brothers with you. Not to mention comparing you to them, even compared to the Cyclops, you're significantly weaker."

Hearing that he was considered less than the Cyclops Demon King, the Bat Demon King's rage was fully ignited, as he could not stand being told he was inferior to his archenemy.

"Ha ha!" Chen Hao burst into loud laughter. "Bat spirit, just show whatever tricks you have up your sleeve! Today, I'm going to let you see how formidable I am!"

By this time, Xie Xiaofeng had already quietly moved closer to Chen Hao, holding onto his arm.

"Screech!" The Bat Demon King, flaming with rage, suddenly let out a piercing, high-pitched shriek and then his body split into five parts. In an instant, each part turned into a dense swarm of bats, attacking Chen Hao and Xie Xiaofeng from five different directions.

Xie Xiaofeng showed a look of panic, then quickly said behind Chen Hao's ear, "Chen Hao, it—"

"Shh, don't make a sound!" Chen Hao interrupted Xie Xiaofeng. Although his eyes were tightly closed, he had already perceived everything around him through his ears.

It was not until the five swarms of bats were less than two meters away from him that Chen Hao made his move. "Whoosh whoosh" like a gust of wind, he carried Xie Xiaofeng and escaped through the gaps in the swarm of bats.

All the bats converged in one place, forming into the Bat Demon King.

"Not bad, even with your eyes closed you still managed to dodge my moves amidst such a dense swarm of bats!" the Bat Demon King said.

"Do you know why I kept my eyes closed?" Chen Hao said coldly, "I did it to tell you that you're not worth a glance from me!"

"You!" The Bat Demon King's face twitched with anger, and then he let out a furious roar. In an instant, the whole world turned blood-red, and countless black dots appeared in the distant sky, suddenly magnifying. It was only then that it became clear they were swarms of bats.

Xie Xiaofeng was astonished, then looked around and exclaimed in shock, "Bats are densely packed in all directions; we're surrounded! This is terrifying!"

Hearing Xie Xiaofeng say this, Chen Hao dared not open his eyes. "Squeak squeak squeak!" The noisy cries of millions of bats entered his ears, disturbing his heart.

Just as Chen Hao was trying hard to control his mind, the bats that had been surrounding them suddenly all turned into a red mist of blood!

"The bats have turned into a poisonous blood mist!" Xie Xiaofeng cried out.

It was only then that Chen Hao dared to open his eyes. Shocked by the scene before him for a second, the corners of his mouth suddenly rose into a curve, and he sneered, "This is our chance! Xie Xiaofeng, are you ready?"

"Mhm!" Xie Xiaofeng nodded.

"Sword Qi!" Chen Hao said with closed eyes. No sooner had his voice fallen than a whistling, piercing mass of Sword Qi surged around him, and in an instant, the accumulating Sword Qi howled even more fiercely.

Just as the poison blood mist was about to infiltrate his body, Chen Hao suddenly opened his eyes, and the swirl of Sword Qi encircling him shot out like a roaring dragon, blasting a path through the blood mist.

Immediately after, Chen Hao pushed Xie Xiaofeng's back with all his might. Xie Xiaofeng flew out, sped along the path carved out by the Sword Qi, closely following it.

Chen Hao, however, had no time to dodge and was swallowed by the poison blood mist.

"Agh!" The agonized scream of Chen Hao erupted immediately.

Outside the blood mist, the Bat Demon King heard Chen Hao's scream and laughed smugly twice, murmuring to himself, "Now you should have no escape."

At that moment, the blood mist formed from millions of bats appeared before it as a huge, perfectly spherical red ball.

No sooner had the Bat Demon King finished speaking than there was a "plop" sound. The red ball before him underwent a violent deformation, and the blood mist in the area directly opposite him suddenly rushed toward his face.

The Bat Demon King opened his sharp fanged mouth and ingested the blood mist.

As the blood mist was nearly swallowed up, it suddenly saw Xie Xiaofeng's smiling face behind it.

Immediately, Xie Xiaofeng exerted all his Five Elements Magic to perform the Yin-Yang Five Elements Transformation Technique...
