Chapter 25: The Great War Against the Purple Bat King (Part 2)

  Lei Hao indeed laughed last.

  The faint shadow of the purple bat king slowly dissipated, and the purple bat king's figure reappeared in front of Lei Hao.

  "I didn't think that even after I became the Demon King, I still couldn't easily defeat you." The Violet Bat King said with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. His heavily injured body was not enough to support him in launching high-intensity attacks for a long time. Originally, he wanted to use absolute speed to defeat and even kill Lei Hao and snatch the Hegemon's War Sword from his hand, but unexpectedly, Lei Hao's speed was completely unable to keep up with his own.

  "You're not only unable to defeat me, but you'll also die at my hands." Lei Hao was purely talking tough like a dying duck, if Zi Bat King could maintain the attack intensity and speed from earlier, he would have been tortured to death by Zi Bat King sooner or later. Now looking at the blood flowing non-stop from Zi Bat King's mouth corner, he knew this kid wouldn't last much longer either, so he felt a bit more at ease in his heart.

  "Is that so? You really think you can kill me today?" The Violet Bat King spat out a mouthful of blood, his face full of mockery as he looked at Lei Hao. "Originally, I didn't want to use these two moves, but now it's either you die or I live, so let me show you the ultimate technique of our bat demon king." The Violet Bat King said, splitting open his mouth to reveal two blood-red fangs, silently laughing as if he had already seen Lei Hao dead at his hands.

  Lei Hao thought that Zi Bat King would immediately relapse and die from his injuries, but after hearing Zi Bat King's words, he felt something was off. When he saw Zi Bat King's silent mockery, Lei Hao's hair stood on end.

  "Rift" Lei Hao shouted loudly as he swung his knife out, attempting to attract the attention of the Purple Bat King, but it was still too late.

  The figure of the Purple Bat King disappeared into a black fog, and one second later, a large number of "squeaking" sounds came from the fog. At this moment, Lei Hao's knife aura slashed into the fog, and the snow-white knife aura flashed through the fog, emitting an extremely short burst of light that illuminated the entire fog in an instant. Although it was only a glimpse, it was enough for Lei Hao.

  In the midst of the dark fog, there was no longer a trace of the Violet Bat King. The dense fog was filled with numerous black shadows as big as Lei Hao's fists.

  "Little Fox, Big Cow, take the brothers of Lei Wei and Lei Zijun out first, hurry up!" Lei Hao shouted loudly with his eyes wide open.

  In the distance, a small fox and Lei Da Niu looked towards Lei Hao, seeing him on high alert as he faced the black fog tens of yards in front of him. Seeing that Lei Hao didn't explain anything to them, they turned their heads and called out to Lei Wei's brothers to quickly and orderly retreat from the Bat Demon Cave with Lei Zi Jun.

  That's why Lei Hao only called Xiao Hu Li and Lei Da Niu, because they were the only two who would unconditionally listen to him in any situation.

  The demon army of Bat Cave also chased after Lei Zongjun out of the cave, these little demons understood that the fight between Zi Bat King and Lei Hao was not something they could intervene in. The Bat Cave which had just been filled with the sounds of killing quickly became quiet again.

  The "squeaking" sound coming from the black fog grew louder and louder, and Lei Hao's heart also became tighter and tighter. Suddenly, Lei Hao's eyes condensed, and the fist-sized black shadows in the black fog all rushed out. Only after calming down did Lei Hao realize that these were actually bats, countless bats, all emitting the aura of Inner Dan realm monsters, but without any vitality, like dead objects. After a moment's thought, Lei Hao knew that these should be the manifestation of the energy of the Purple Bat King, and should be the racial divine ability of the bat demons.

  Endless bats swooped towards the solitary Lei Hao, and the scene looked so desolate, with a kind of heroic aura that seemed to defy the enemy. In fact, Lei Hao's heart was also trembling at this time, instinctively wanting to retreat, but reason told him that he couldn't retreat, if he couldn't even defeat the Purple Bat King in this narrow cave, if he retreated outside, he would likely leave his life on this Yinshi Mountain that didn't match his aesthetic at all.

  Lei Hao gripped the Dragon Slayer tightly, and the icy texture of the sword brought him a slight sense of relief. Faced with the enormous crisis before him, Lei Hao didn't dare to be even slightly slow. He circulated all his magical power, using the back of the Dragon Slayer as a shield to set up a purple magical barrier. A flash of lightning occasionally flickered across the surface of the barrier.

  A vast army of bats, one after another, crashed into Lei Hao's purple shield, each bat carrying a force of over a thousand kilograms. The impact caused Lei Hao's magical shield to fluctuate violently, almost on the verge of collapse. Lei Hao gritted his teeth, his face turning pale with bulging veins, and his body expanded by a fold to stabilize the shield. At this moment, Lei Hao felt a wave of fear in his heart. One bat was not scary; he could easily crush it with his fingers. Ten bats were also not scary; with a flick of his wrist and a burst of magical energy, he could swat them dead. Even a hundred bats would only be a bit troublesome; with a few swings of his sword, he could chop them down. What was terrifying was the endless swarm of bats, each carrying over a thousand kilograms of force. Even Lei Hao couldn't handle it now and could only hold on, waiting to see if the Purple Bat King or he would exhaust himself first. He still had his ultimate move, "Earth Split," waiting for that guy. After expending so much magical energy, he didn't believe that guy could dodge the boundless power of "Earth Split."

  These bats crashed into Lei Hao's sharp shield and disappeared, without even leaving behind a corpse.

  Fortunately, he had previously made a decisive decision to withdraw Lei Wei and Lei Zijun from the Bat Cave. If he had hesitated for a moment earlier, there might have been heavy casualties now, because these bats could not be stopped by anyone except Leihao. Lei Dahu was no match for them, nor was Lei Daniu, let alone others.

  Lei Hao was secretly rejoicing when he didn't notice that the little fox had anxiously sneaked back into the Bat Demon Cave.

  In these few minutes, the little fox's world was unbearably long. After withdrawing from the cave, she was extremely worried about Lei Hao, who was still inside the bat demon cave. The image of Lei Hao covered in blood kept appearing in her mind. On the other hand, she had to pretend to be calm and comfort the equally anxious Lei Wei brothers. She knew very well the position these brothers held in Lei Hao's heart. She could affirm that if any one of them were to die, Lei Hao would be heartbroken. She didn't want to see Lei Hao hurt, nor did she want to hurt any of the brothers with whom they had lived together for over a hundred years. So she endured her worry about Lei Hao and dissuaded the brothers who wanted to rush into the bat demon cave. In the end, she succeeded, but secretly snuck back into the bat demon cave herself.

  She knew that Lei Hao would rather be hurt himself than leave any of his brothers behind. But in her heart, she would rather be the one to get hurt, and couldn't bear to see Lei Hao bleeding, it was too heartbreaking...

  Lei Hao, who was blocking the bats with all his might, did not notice the little fox sneaking into the cave, but that didn't mean the bats, which only recognized auras, hadn't noticed either. When the little fox snuck within thirty zhang of Lei Hao's shield, the large group of bats that had been locked in a fierce battle with Lei Hao suddenly split off a small portion and charged towards the little fox with lightning speed. It wasn't until Lei Hao saw those bats heading in the wrong direction that he discovered the little fox behind him, and with a great shock, Lei Hao retracted his shield and pounced on the little fox without hesitation.

  Fortunately, Lei Hao's speed was faster than these bats, and he appeared in front of the little fox one step ahead, once again using his full-body magic to set up a magic shield, blocking the large group of bats that followed closely.

  "How did you get in? Didn't you understand what I said?" Lei Hao's face looked terrible, it was too dangerous just now, if he had been a step slower the little fox would have been hurt by these damn insects.

  The little fox didn't care what Lei Hao said, and instead used her small hands to continuously feel around the wounds on his body. After confirming that Lei Hao wasn't seriously injured, she let out a long sigh of relief. Her eyes sparkled as she spoke in a low voice: "I just wanted to come in and see you."

  Lei Hao's figure paused for a moment, his eyes filled with emotion. He wasn't an idiot, how could he not feel the thick emotions of the little fox?

  "Don't do such a stupid thing next time, trust me, I won't abandon you, abandon my brothers..." Lai Hao, who was not good at speaking, didn't know how to express his feelings at this moment. In his heart, he had a lot of words to say, but when they came out, it was just these simple sentences.

  But for Little Fox, these few sentences are enough.

  Her slender body gently leaned against Leihao's, her soft lips landed on the back of Leihao's heart, a strong and gentle magic replenished the greatly consumed Leihao, the turbulent magic shield in front of Leihao also slowly stabilized. But if these bats continued to attack with such intensity, even with the little fox's support, he could only hold out for half an incense stick.

  Lei Hao stabilized, and the most panicked was naturally the purple bat king hiding in the bat army. With his heavily injured body, he launched this move, a powerful technique of the bat demon's demon king level, which was a huge risk. He hadn't dared to use it before because he didn't know what would happen after using it with his injuries. As a result, he had no choice but to use this move, and if he didn't, Lei Hao would have dragged him to death.

  He had expected as much, and the bats he had summoned with his demonic powers and divine sense did indeed pose a threat to Lei Hao. He had even seen Lei Hao being torn to shreds by these energy bats in his mind's eye. However, he hadn't anticipated that a meddling little demon would intervene and stabilize Lei Hao once again, filling him with unparalleled terror. "Could it be... do I really need to use that move?" the Purple Bat King asked himself inwardly, his expression clearly hesitant. But as soon as he saw Lei Hao and the little fox still being affectionate amidst the swarm of bats, he revealed eyes full of boundless resentment.

  "Since you won't let me live, then you'll die with me!" The Purple Bat King reappeared once more from the dark fog.

  The complex Heaven and Man War of the Violet Bat King was, of course, unknown to Lei Hao, but even with the support of the little fox, he felt a bit overwhelmed. He was also hesitant about whether to use the "Fissure" move to clear out these damned energy bats.

  "This can't go on like this, I've been suppressed by that kid from the start, it's too suffocating. Should I use one move to clear out these bats and charge into that black fog again?" Lei Hao felt extremely stifled, always at a disadvantage. This battle was not what he had expected, he had thought that once they reached the Bat Demon Cave, he would directly suppress the heavily injured Purple Bat King inside the cave, wait for an opportunity to use his ultimate move "Fissure" and easily defeat this kid, it should have been a smooth and carefree process. But in reality, it was the opposite of what he had thought, he was always being suppressed and at a disadvantage, and judging from the current situation, if that kid didn't die on his own, he would be the one to die.

  Lei Hao, who is now filled with regret, can't understand how he could have been so stupid as to lead his brothers into the Bat Cave without any preparation. Getting hurt himself is a minor issue, but if anything were to happen to any of his brothers, Lei Wei would be devastated. It's like having many relatives in a family, but losing any one of them would still bring immense sorrow.

  He didn't know, of course, that he was possessed by the fire demon. This wasn't too serious; if it had been any worse, perhaps he would have swollen up and gone alone to kill the Bat King in a fair duel at the Bat Cave...

  Lei Hao finally woke up from his madness and walked away, which was a blessing in disguise.
