Chapter 0650 Thrilling Fight

**Chapter 0650: A Daring Fight**

The Bloodwing Bat flying toward them terrified the demon cultivators.

Over a dozen demonic cultivators scrambled away, shrieking in fear.

The Bloodwing Bat soared swiftly through the night—if you blinked, you’d miss it.

"Ahhh—!"

Bloodcurdling screams echoed from the ground as the demonic cultivators were drained one by one by the Bloodwing Bat.

Qin Yun felt a chill down his spine as he watched. Initially, he had been thrilled to encounter the Beast King.

But now, his excitement was gone. Facing this Beast King was a nightmare, especially without any weapons at his disposal.

"It hasn’t noticed me yet!" Qin Yun secretly rejoiced.

"Bats have extremely sharp senses. If it can't detect you, that means your shadow power has grown significantly stronger," Ling Yuner whispered with a giggle. "Still, this bat is dangerous. Stay alert and don’t overestimate your abilities."

Qin Yun regretted being unable to use weapons. With his usual equipment, he could have easily defeated this bat.

"If I get the chance, I should craft weapons from Celestial Beast bones!" Qin Yun thought to himself as he quietly followed the Bloodwing Bat.

Effortlessly weaving through the trees, the Bloodwing Bat—about the size of a human—moved through the forest like a fish gliding through water.

Qin Yun followed it for two hours. By now, it was deep into the night, but he still hadn’t acted—he wasn’t confident he could succeed.

Without weapons, challenging a Beast King as strong as a Xuanwu Realm cultivator was an extremely risky gamble; one mistake could cost him his life.

Suddenly, the Bloodwing Bat sharply accelerated.

Qin Yun’s heart pounded. Uncertain of the reason, he quickly sped up too.

Ahead, a familiar voice rang out instantly.

"A Beast King has appeared—a small flying creature!" The speaker was Jian Nanhu.

Four figures stood ahead—disciples of the Sword Immortal Pavilion.

"Be careful!" Jian Nanhu drew a gleaming golden sword.

Glancing at the blade, Qin Yun muttered in disbelief, "So it's actually a lifebound sword! This guy actually cultivated one!"

Jian Nanhu swung his lifebound sword, unleashing the "Sword Shakes Heaven and Earth" technique. Golden sword energy erupted outward, forming a storm of radiant blades that trapped the Bloodwing Bat in its deadly net.

The other three disciples also held swords. Though not lifebound, their weapons carried powerful sword soul energy, and the sword qi they released was just as fierce as Jian Nanhu’s.

These four Sword Immortal Pavilion disciples were all top-tier fighters—even if they couldn’t match Jian Nanhu, they weren’t far behind.

Watching from the shadows, Qin Yun observed the battle unfold, unable to help but admire the Bloodwing Bat’s strength. Despite being surrounded by elite disciples, it darted around with eerie grace, occasionally letting out piercing, mind-numbing shrieks.

The sound was unbearable—Qin Yun felt nauseous, nearly on the verge of vomiting.

"What kind of horrifying attack is this?!" Qin Yun inwardly cursed, frowning deeply.

To his surprise, one of the disciples from Sword Immortal Pavilion actually spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Sonic attacks, and with strong psychic attack too!" Ling Yuner remarked.

Among the four disciples of Sword Immortal Pavilion, only Jian Nanhu was fine. The other three were spitting blood as they fought.

Jian Nanhu kept shouting, attacking the Bloodwing Bat frantically, preventing it from emitting that sound.

The Bloodwing Bat's defenses also left Qin Yun astonished.

Despite its fluffy appearance, the bat was barely hurt even after being struck by wave after wave of sword energy!

"Don't run!" Jian Nanhu suddenly yelled as the Bloodwing Bat soared high into the sky, disappearing in a flash.

Qin Yun immediately gave chase!

This Demon Beast Island was vast, yet there were only sixteen Beast Kings, and with so many disciples competing for them, Qin Yun wasn't about to miss this incredibly rare opportunity.

For Qin Yun, this was an incredibly rare opportunity!

Not long after Qin Yun pursued it, the Bloodwing Bat encountered another group of disciples.

Qin Yun glanced and saw six of them.

"Fire Moon City sisters, let’s take down this bat together! Afterward, we can decide who gets the Beast King’s core through a duel!" A youth from Canghuo Immortal Mountain laughed.

"Fine! But don’t try any tricks, or even if your fathers are Demigods, you’ll still die!" The female disciples from Fire Moon City were known for their short tempers.

Among the six disciples, two were from Fire Moon City, while the other four belonged to Canghuo Immortal Mountain.

Qin Yun watched from the sidelines.

The disciples from Canghuo Immortal Mountain and Fire Moon City were skilled fighters.

They managed to battle the Bloodwing Bat without inflicting serious injuries.

The female disciples from Fire Moon City, in particular, used their Purple Gold Flame, which the bat greatly feared, keeping it from swooping down to feed.

Meanwhile, the disciples from Canghuo Immortal Mountain unleashed flame projectiles, striking the erratically flying Bloodwing Bat.

Qin Yun was on edge—he was worried the Bloodwing Bat might be killed, as it was his prey.

The bat was hit several times, its fur still smoldering, before it finally fled.

The escaping Bloodwing Bat was difficult to pursue.

The group from Canghuo Immortal Mountain yelled after it but soon lost track of their target.

Only Qin Yun managed to keep up with the bat.

"Xiao Yun, when are you planning to strike?" Ling Yuner asked. "The Bloodwing Bat is now hunting again. The blood of cultivators is potent—it’s the bat’s favorite! It’ll keep seeking out other disciples!"

Qin Yun had to admire the Bloodwing Bat’s ability to sense prey and strong blood from great distances.

"I’ll follow it a while longer. If it gets attacked again, it'll be worn out, making it much easier for me to finish it off later!"

Qin Yun knew the Bloodwing Bat was no pushover. Rushing in blindly would likely result in injury.

After all, this Demon Beast Island was full of dangers, especially those targeting him.

The Bloodwing Bat flew for a while before suddenly stopping, hanging upside down from a tree branch as if resting.

"Damn, it's resting! We can't let it recover, or it’ll be much harder to deal with later!" Ling Yuner said.

Qin Yun quickly flew over, channeling his full power before unleashing a palm strike!

KA-BOOM! KA-BOOM! KA-BOOM!

His palm force surged violently, detonating in a shockwave.

Dragon Vanquish Five Palms!

This was Qin Yun’s deadliest technique.

The black palm force whipped up a violent gale, shattering numerous branches as it roared forward.

Yet, the Bloodwing Bat remained unnervingly still, still clinging to the branch.

Qin Yun’s palm force struck the bat, blasting apart the thick branch it clung to.

To his shock, despite being hit by the force, the Bloodwing Bat remained unharmed—merely startled before fleeing.

"What’s going on?" Qin Yun chased after it, his mind racing in disbelief.

His palm force contained three destructive forces: shockwaves, flames, and lightning. Any one of them could wreak havoc.

Yet, against the Bloodwing Bat, they seemed to do nothing!

"I don’t know," Ling Yuner said. "That bat seems to have a special ability to dissipate your energy. It’s similar to the power of Nether Sun!"

If Qin Yun’s cultivation were higher and he could control the Nether Sun’s power more effectively, he could merge it with his shockwaves to form an incredibly strong defense against attacks.

Of course, if the opponent was too powerful—especially when armed with weapons—he would struggle to resist.

As Qin Yun pursued the Bloodwing Bat, he built up another burst of energy, ready to strike at any moment.

Not long into the chase, the bat suddenly turned and flew back toward him!

"Yun'er, now!" Qin Yun barked.

Ling Yuner instantly slammed down a crushing gravity field.

Boom!

The bat, streaking toward them like a bolt, was smashed down by the immense force, crashing through the canopy and snapping several thick branches along the way.

Qin Yun dove after it, executing the first stance of the Heaven-Piercing Finger—Mountain-Splitter, Earth-Sunderer!

His fingertip pierced the bat’s furry abdomen, driving a spike of annihilating force inside, forcing the creature to let out a piercing shriek.

This was Qin Yun’s most focused strike to date!

Just as he prepared for a second strike, four searing fireblasts erupted at him.

KA-BOOM!

Qin Yun was hit.

Though engulfed in flames, his Sky Lion Mystic Body left him utterly unscathed by the flames.

The terrifying part was that within the flying fireballs, numerous sharp fragments scattered wildly, piercing his skin and ravaging his body from within.

"It's the Canghuo Immortal Mountain!" Ling Yuner shouted. "Those damn bastards used some strange hidden weapon—it's inside your body!"

Qin Yun could feel hundreds of tiny fragments thrashing inside him, tormenting his body and causing unbearable pain.

"What the hell is that thing?" Qin Yun seethed. "These scumbags, I'll make them pay with their lives!"

It wasn't just him—the bat on the ground was convulsing wildly as well.

"Hahaha... Qin Yun is about to be captured by me!" A youth from the Canghuo Immortal Mountain crowed triumphantly. "He's worth two King Artifacts!"

Qin Yun's body felt as if razor-sharp worms were tunneling through him, causing such agony that he thrashed on the ground in pain.

The square-faced youth from Canghuo Immortal Mountain advanced with a manic laugh, pulling out a sharp spike and driving it hard into Qin Yun's abdomen!

"Argh!"

Qin Yun bellowed in rage. His abdomen had been pierced—but fortunately, it was the Mingyang Dao Core. Even if the spike penetrated it, the core wouldn't shatter; it would simply pass through.

"Hurry, bring out the rope and tie him up!" The square-faced disciple shook with barely contained excitement.

During his battle with the Bloodwing Bat, Qin Yun had been completely absorbed in the fight, leaving him momentarily off guard. He never expected the Canghuo Immortal Mountain to have such bizarre hidden weapons!

"Qin Yun, you're finished, haha..." The disciple pulled out a specially made rope, moving to restrain Qin Yun.

Just as Qin Yun was about to summon the Sky Lion, he suddenly sensed an approaching presence.

Someone abruptly appeared beside the square-faced disciple—a flash of cold light—and a sharp blade sliced down, lopping off the disciple's head!

The one who had suddenly appeared was none other than Xiao Yuelan!
