Chapter 462 The Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King (Part 2)

Hu Liena felt as if her body was floating on clouds. Looking down, she couldn't see the narrow path at all; all she could see was a dark abyss.

"Has he gone mad?" That was Hu Liena's only thought. Just then, Tang San's body jolted, and he was back on solid ground. The blood bat swarm had dwindled by more than a tenth. Tang San expressionlessly withdrew his blue domain; this time, he didn't even leave a trace outside his body, and continued moving forward rapidly.

The Blood Bats were clearly thrown into disarray by Tang San's earlier actions. Although they still refused to give up, when they caught up, they maintained a certain distance from Tang San and Hu Liena as much as possible, not daring to get too close. As a result, the two of them were obviously safer.

"Tang Yin, stop for a moment. Let me carry you. That way you can better deal with those bats. We can take turns to minimize our energy expenditure." Although it was comfortable for Hu Liena to be carried by Tang San, she knew that with blood bats chasing behind them, both of them had to be highly focused. If Tang San was too exhausted, the road ahead would be even more difficult.

"Alright." Tang San didn't stand on ceremony with Hu Liena. Although he wasn't too exhausted yet, since they were working together, they should complement each other. The current enemy was more suitable for Tang San to deal with, so it was obviously more appropriate for Hu Liena to handle the journey.

As she jumped and landed, Hu Liena's heart went through a process of rising and falling.

The two switched positions. Hu Liena imitated Tang San's previous movements, arching her back to support Tang San's body as they moved forward quickly.

At this moment, because the blood bats dared not get too close, the wind force generated by their wings naturally diminished. Tang San then put away his Clear Sky Hammer; otherwise, Hu Liena, carrying Tang San with the added weight of the Clear Sky Hammer, would probably have collapsed from exhaustion after only a short time.

Just as Tang San had predicted, the surrounding air began to gradually warm up, and the temperature continued to rise. Although the blood bats behind them were a threat, the heat rising from the abysses on both sides made Tang San and Hu Liena even more vigilant.

"Squeak, squeak." A large blood bat suddenly cried out, and then all the remaining blood bats began to emit sharp cries. Their voices were extremely piercing, causing Tang San to frown.

Just then, he suddenly felt Hu Liena's footsteps behind him slow down and gradually stop.

"We're probably in trouble," Hu Liena said in a low voice. At the same time, she straightened up, letting Tang San land on his feet.

Tang San quickly untied the rope binding Hu Liena's waist, turned around, and looked ahead. He couldn't help but gasp.

Directly ahead of them on this narrow path, below it, 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 a swarm of blood bats, a pair of enormous wings slowly unfurled from its dark golden body, their terrifying wingspan reaching a staggering ten meters. Its claws snapped open, and with the flapping of its massive wings, its colossal body took flight. It was an incredibly enormous bat.

Its entire body was dark gold, and most terrifyingly, it had three heads. All the blood bats swiftly swept through the air, gathering behind the enormous, dark gold, three-headed bat.

Tang San muttered, "He beat up his little brother, so it seems the big brother has come out."

The Clear Sky Hammer reappeared, and Hu Liena brandished her two short swords. The two stood there quietly, constantly regulating their soul power by taking deep breaths.

The central head of the dark gold three-headed bat let out a cry, spread its terrifying wings, and suddenly pounced towards Tang San and Hu Liena.

Before its massive body even pounced, an unparalleled and overwhelming aura swept over us, the terrifying gust of wind even more frightening than all the previous blood-red bats combined.

Tang San immediately judged that the strength of this dark gold three-headed bat was definitely above that of an ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

If they could use their soul skills, the two of them working together to deal with it shouldn't be a problem, but right now neither of them can use their skills.

Facing such a huge flying creature in this terrain is obviously extremely disadvantageous.

"Be careful," Hu Liena said quickly. She suddenly put away a short sword and grabbed one end of a rope made from her clothes with her free hand. Tang San did the same.

Both of them understood that against such a formidable opponent, they would need near-perfect teamwork to have any chance of winning.

Blue light emanated from Tang San's body. At this moment, he knew he could not hold back anything, and the blue light instantly spread across a vast area with a diameter of 100 meters.

With the help of this blue field, Hu Liena's spirits lifted, her gaze sharpened instantly, and with a gentle toss of her head, her long hair turned from black to fiery red, draped over her chest.

Its eyes emitted a pink light as it gazed at the dark gold three-headed bat in the air.

The dark gold three-headed bat, which was swooping down, swayed slightly under Hu Liena's watchful eyes. Its speed noticeably decreased. The next moment, it had already rushed into Tang San's blue domain.

Affected by the blue domain, the dark gold three-headed bat's body shook even more violently, but it didn't lose control like its minions. Instead, it let out a shriek, and a ring of dark red ripples spread from its head, enveloping Tang San and Hu Liena.

Hu Liena's waist tightened as Tang San grabbed her with both hands. The next moment, Tang San threw her body backward, and Tang San himself jumped up after Hu Liena's body. As Hu Liena flew behind him, he swung out the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, heading straight for the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat.

Boom! Two loud booms rang out simultaneously.

Tang San and Hu Liena's worst fears came true. Under the invasion of the dark red ripples released by the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat, the narrow path, about five meters long, where they had been standing was completely blasted apart. Countless rubble fell into the abyss.

Although the two did not know how the narrow path was formed, they had no way back after arriving here. If the path in front of them was severely damaged, they would never be able to leave.

But as part of the narrow path beneath their feet was destroyed, Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer accurately struck the central head of the dark gold three-headed bat. What was the power of the Clear Sky Hammer? Although the dark gold three-headed bat's body was extremely tough, its central head was instantly shattered by that terrifying destructive force. With a mournful cry, it flapped its wings and flew backward.

Hu Liena stood firmly on the ground, her body swaying slightly before she could barely regain her balance. Looking at the damaged narrow road ahead, she couldn't help but turn pale.

"It's ruining our road, what should we do?" Hu Liena whispered.

"Charge!" Without hesitation, Tang San ran forward first. Hu Liena did not dare to slack off and hurriedly followed him. But at this moment, Tang San was horrified to find that after the dark gold three-headed bat flew back to its underlings' camp, it opened its mouth and swallowed three of its underlings. Its middle head had actually grown back.

At this moment, Tang San and Hu Liena leaped up one after the other, landing on the narrow path five meters away on the other side. Only by reaching the other side could they continue forward, and the previous damage would naturally be eliminated.

However, they clearly underestimated the intelligence of the dark gold three-headed bat. Another ring of dark red ripples was released, this time even stronger than before. It wasn't aimed at Tang San and Hu Liena, but rather directly bombarded the spot where they were about to land.

Even in the critical moment, Tang San remained calm. As a control-type Soul Master, maintaining composure was an essential quality for him. He yanked the rope in his hand, sacrificing his own rapid fall to fling Hu Liena into the air.

With a deafening roar, the narrow path in front of the two broke off by at least ten meters. Hu Liena, who had been thrown into the air, was still about three meters away from the path, but there was no way she could move forward.

At this moment, Tang San's gaze was not fixed on the dark gold three-headed bat, but entirely on Hu Liena. He was waiting for Hu Liena's choice, and also to determine whether he could trust this temporary teammate on the rest of the Hell Road journey.

At this moment, Hu Liena only had two choices. One was to loosen the rope in her hands, so that she could use Tang San's momentum to land on the narrow path on the other side. The other, of course, was to fall with Tang San into the abyss.

If it were the old Hu Liena, she would have undoubtedly chosen the former without hesitation. But for some reason, at this moment, she felt as if something was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't loosen her grip on the rope.

At this moment, Hu Liena's true strength was revealed. Her delicate body spun suddenly in the air, and a huge, fiery red fox tail lashed out from behind her shapely buttocks. The long fur on the tail instantly extended, and the entire tail stretched to a length of three meters. At the tip of the tail, a sharp spike suddenly protruded and pierced the edge of the narrow path on the other side.

At the same time, Hu Liena herself did not rush to get ashore. Instead, she pulled on the rope with all her might and forcefully swung Tang San up.
