The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

With his gaze sweeping around and his breathing even, Huo Zhanji looked around to assess the situation. Observing the surroundings was obviously the most important thing at the moment. Upon closer inspection, he couldn't help but gasp. The situation before him was far more dangerous than he had imagined.

Everything around him was a faint blood red. Beyond the circular platform with a diameter of five meters, there was a bottomless abyss. Apart from that, there was a narrow path less than half a foot wide, just wide enough for two feet to stand at the same time. This was the only way for the platform to lead to the outside world.

Huo Zhanji couldn't help but frown: "It's poisonous, but I'm immune to poison, so this round is in the bag."

Huo Zhanji's pace was not fast, and the distance he covered with each step was very even. Once his mental detection skill was released, not even the slightest movement could escape his notice. Although soul skills were banned in the City of Slaughter, mental detection was activated by mental power, so the ban was practically useless.

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Huo Zhanji focused on the distance. The darkness in the distance wasn't a big problem for him. He slowly disappeared into the dark red light. The circular platform behind him was gone. As he walked forward, Huo Zhanji suddenly stopped. The air was starting to get hot. Moreover, the place no longer seemed quiet. Although there were faint sounds around him, he could still sense them.

Huo Zhanji flicked his wrist, and a silver-white pistol appeared in his hand. This was the elemental gun he had made when he participated in the Soul Master Competition. At this moment, those subtle sounds were approaching him.

The buzzing sound grew louder and louder. The creatures flying in were not one or two, but a swarm. They were blood-red bats, each about a foot long, flying swiftly toward Huo Zhan.

The blood bats in the air seemed to have gained intelligence; instead of rushing to attack Huo Zhanji, they quickly circled around him in mid-air, surrounding him.

Huo Zhanji immediately pulled the trigger, and a red bullet shot out at lightning speed, flying straight towards the blood bats in front of him. As it approached, it transformed into a large red net, instantly enveloping dozens of blood-red bats.

"ah----"

Accompanied by a series of shrill screams, the dozens of blood bats that had pounced first fell into the abyss like meteors.

Huo Zhanji kept his attacks within a 50-meter radius centered on himself. The blood bats launched two more attacks, but both ended in the same way.

"A gun is fast from seven paces away, and accurate and fast within seven paces," Huo Zhanji said, toying with the gun in his hand.

After probing three times, the blood-red bats were no longer willing to approach Huo Zhanji's attack range easily, but they were also unwilling to leave. They continued to circle around him, flapping their wings and blowing unstable air currents toward him.

"That's it?" Huo Zhanji hunched his back slightly and moved forward at an extremely fast speed.

Huo Zhanji's sudden acceleration startled the blood bats, and a large number of them hurriedly chased after him. Just as they were getting closer and closer, Huo Zhanji suddenly stopped his forward momentum and turned back.

Several decoy missiles were launched, and huge red nets spread out, accompanied by piercing screams. Because they were chasing too fast, their bodies fell like rain after a flash of red light.

The blood bat swarm had almost dwindled. Huo Zhanji turned around expressionlessly and continued to move forward quickly. The blood bats were clearly disturbed by Huo Zhanji's actions. Although they still refused to give up, when they caught up with him, they kept a certain distance from Huo Zhanji as much as possible and dared not get too close.

"Squeak!" A large blood bat suddenly cried out, and then all the remaining blood bats began to emit sharp cries.

Their voices were extremely shrill, causing Huo Zhanji to frown. Right in front of them, below the narrow path, hung an enormous creature upside down. Bathed in the surrounding pale red light, it emitted a dark golden glow.

The creature was over four meters long, its two enormous claws gripping the narrow path. Each claw was over a meter in diameter, their sharp edges digging into the rocks.

Amidst the screams of hordes of blood bats, a pair of enormous wings slowly unfurled from its dark golden body. The terrifying wingspan stretched for a staggering ten meters. Most terrifyingly, it possessed three heads. All the blood bats swiftly swept through the air, converging behind the gigantic, three-headed, dark golden bat.

"Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, you can't do anything to me, Eternal Divine Spear!" Huo Zhanji's eyes narrowed, and with a wave of his right hand, a long spear with an all-silver-white body slowly appeared.

The central head of the dark gold three-headed bat let out a cry, spread its terrifying wings, and suddenly pounced towards Huo Zhan. Before its massive body even reached him, an unparalleled and domineering aura swept over him, and the terrifying gust of wind was even more terrifying than all the previous blood-red bats combined.

"Ignorance is bliss, an eternal wound!" A strange light flashed across the spear in Huo Zhanji's hand, as if it would tear space apart at any moment.

Boom, boom—

Unsurprisingly, the swarm of bats affected by Eternal Creation and the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King that had been pierced exploded one after another, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King not even able to let out a scream.

With the death of the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, the remaining Blood Bats were leaderless and charged at Huo Zhanji in a near-revengeful frenzy, but they could no longer pose any threat to Huo Zhanji. After a moment, everything around them became quiet again.
