Chapter 83 Encountering the Two Great Demonic Sects Again

"Be careful!"

Lu Xuan let out a low shout and instantly retreated.

Several dark figures shot out from the river of blood, accompanied by piercing screechs, and pounced towards the two.

They were several strange monsters that resembled bats but had human faces.

Its wingspan was over ten feet, its sharp claws gleamed with a cold light, and it spewed purple poisonous mist from its mouth.

"It's a demonized human-faced bat!"

Su Qinghuan recognized the infamous monster at a glance, and her pretty face changed slightly.

"These monstrous beasts live in packs, are extremely bloodthirsty, and possess potent venom. If you are scratched, the wound will quickly fester!"

Before the words were finished, more sounds of water breaking rang out.

Hundreds or even thousands of human-faced bats surged out of the blood river, obscuring the dome like dark clouds. Their scarlet eyes stared intently at the two intruders, emitting chilling shrieks.

"Looks like it was mistaken for food."

Lu Xuan remained expressionless and drew the Heaven-Swallowing Sword with a backhand motion.

"kill!"

Lu Xuan moved like lightning, rushing directly into the swarm of bats.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

Several human-faced bats pounced first, their sharp claws tearing through the air, aiming straight for Lu Xuan's face.

"cut!"

Lu Xuan flicked his wrist, and the Devouring Heaven Sword transformed into a black streak, instantly slicing through the bodies of the human-faced bats.

"Pfft!"

Blood splattered, and broken wings and claws fell like raindrops.

But the smell of blood only fueled the ferocity of the bat swarm.

They roared wildly and surged forward one after another.

"Purple Sun Sword Technique, Blazing Sun!"

Su Qinghuan was not to be outdone. She brandished her long sword, and bursts of blazing purple sword energy erupted, burning the approaching human-faced bats to ashes.

However, the number of human-faced bats was simply too great; as soon as one batch was killed, another batch would appear, seemingly endless.

"Killing like this isn't working; we must find the Bat King!"

Lu Xuan repelled several human-faced bats with a single sword strike, his eyes sharp as he quickly scanned the swarm of bats.

Soon, his gaze settled on a huge rock in the middle of the blood river.

There, hanging upside down, was a giant bat several times larger than a human-faced bat. Its body was as black as ink, and its eyes gleamed with an eerie golden light. It coldly watched the battlefield and occasionally let out a sharp screech to command the swarm of bats.

"A human-faced bat king in the late stage of the Soul Platform Realm!"

A glint flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes.

"Qinghuan, cover for me!"

"good!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qinghuan gritted her teeth and activated the remaining spiritual power within her body. The sword light surged, forcefully tearing a gap in the dense swarm of bats.

"Open it!"

Lu Xuan seized the opportunity, stepped into the void, transformed into a black streak of light, and headed straight for the Bat King.

"squeak!"

The Bat King sensed the danger, flapped its wings, and unleashed a piercing sonic attack.

Although sound waves are invisible and intangible, they strike directly at the soul!

If it were just an ordinary Soul Platform Realm cultivator, they would probably be shaken so badly that they would bleed from all seven orifices and suffer damage to their soul in an instant.

However, it was nothing to Lu Xuan.

He merely frowned slightly, and the Soul-Nourishing Wood in his sea of ​​consciousness trembled slightly, thus completely neutralizing the sonic attack.

"die!"

Lu Xuan had already closed in on the Bat King, and the Devouring Heaven Sword swiftly thrust out.

The Bat King clearly hadn't expected this, and it was too late to dodge; he could only swing his claws and meet the attack head-on.

"clang!"

Sparks flew everywhere.

Those claws, as sharp as refined steel, were as fragile as tofu in front of the Devouring Sword.

It was cut in two the moment it made contact.

The longsword continued its momentum, piercing through the Bat King's head.

"squeak!"

The Bat King let out a piercing scream, its massive body convulsed violently a few times, and then fell completely silent.

With the fall of the Bat King, the once frenzied bat swarm descended into chaos.

Without their command, they scattered like headless flies and disappeared into the depths of the cave in the blink of an eye.

"call……"

Su Qinghuan let out a long sigh of relief and sheathed her longsword.

Looking at Lu Xuan standing on the boulder, reaping his spoils, her eyes were filled with admiration.

"Let's go, the real inheritance should be just ahead."

Lu Xuan put away the Bat King Demon Core, leaped back to the shore, and turned his gaze to the tightly closed bronze door at the end of the cave.

"Boom!"

As Lu Xuan placed his palm on the bronze door, a heavy mechanical sound rang out.

The long-sealed door began to slowly slide open to both sides.

Behind the door is an extremely spacious underground plaza.

Several enormous statues of demon gods stood around the square, each holding a weapon and exuding a majestic air.

In the center of the square stands a massive altar.

A bead emitting a faint red light floated on the altar, illuminating the entire space in a blood-red hue.

However, to Lu Xuan and Su Qinghuan's surprise, the square was not empty at the moment.

Two groups of people had already gathered around the altar.

The group on the left were all dressed in scarlet blood-red robes.

At first glance, they all exuded a chilling aura; they were disciples of the Blood Blade Sect.

The group on the right was scantily clad, with handsome men and beautiful women, each exuding a seductive charm; they were members of the Hehuan Sect.

At their feet lay more than a dozen corpses lying haphazardly.

Judging from their attire, some were independent cultivators, while others were disciples of small sects.

It's clear that these two major sects joined forces to eliminate everyone else!

"I see."

Lu Xuan glanced around and instantly understood.

"It seems that every hall outside is connected to an entrance leading underground."

"The ruins of the Blissful Demonic Sect are like a giant funnel; no matter which entrance you enter from, they will eventually converge here."

Upon seeing this, Su Qinghuan nodded solemnly.

"This design... is more like raising a venomous insect."

"Only the strongest who have fought their way out of the various entrances are qualified to gather here for the next round of competition."

"As for how many more challenges lie ahead, and where they lead, perhaps... only those who survive to the end will know."

The moment the two stepped into the square, the two groups of people who had been facing each other turned around and their eyes fell on them.

"Oh, another one's coming to their death."

On the Hehuan Sect's side, a woman dressed in a pink gauze dress with a bewitching face chuckled, her gaze brazenly sweeping over Lu Xuan, her tongue lightly licking her red lips.

"This young man is quite handsome. If he is willing to become my furnace, I might consider sparing his life."

Meanwhile, on the Blood Blade Sect's side, the leader, a burly man with a scar, snorted coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Enough talk! Since you're here, stay!"

Before he could finish speaking, the scarred man suddenly waved his hand.

"kill!"

Several disciples of the Blood Blade Sect suddenly sprang into action.

They headed straight for Lu Xuan and Su Qinghuan.

Seeing this, the members of the Hehuan Sect were not to be outdone.

The alluring woman giggled, and a long pink ribbon appeared in her hand, coiling towards Lu Xuan like a serpent.

"Don't be afraid, little brother, I'll be very gentle."

Despite being attacked from both sides by two evil sects, Lu Xuan's expression remained unchanged; he merely glanced at Su Qinghuan indifferently.

Be careful.

"good!"

Su Qinghuan was also a seasoned veteran. Without uttering a word, she flicked her longsword and directly confronted the Blood Blade Sect members.
