Douluo: Infinite Devourer

Ming Tian hurriedly flipped through the illustrated handbook of soul beasts in his hands, finding a creature similar to the bat in front of them.

"I found it! This is a variant mutated bat, a Steelwing Bat!"

"What is that?"

He Chen clearly hadn't heard of it and turned to ask.

"The Steelwing Bat. The records are limited, and they appear extremely rarely. It's said that Steelwing Bats like to eat human-made steel. Later, because these bats fed on steel, it drew the ire of those who forged steel, and people began to eliminate these bats on a large scale. The wooden nail on the left side of its head is where it was injured by humans in battle, that's its weakness, and it's also the mark to distinguish this bat."

"The Steelwing Bat has a minimum age of ten thousand years, and its innate soul skills are Steelwing Slash, Wing Guard Shield, and Iron-Eating Fang!"

Ming Tian finished introducing the characteristics of the Steelwing Bat at an extremely fast speed. Hearing the features of the Steelwing Bat, He Chen's expression became somewhat solemn.

"This is completely prepared to deal with me! How unlucky. It's not like we're the ones who offended them. Just because we saved that unlucky guy, we've caused such a big problem. If I'd known, I wouldn't have saved him."

He Chen complained, tossing the Heavenly Blaze Halberd in his hands up and catching it again, striking a fighting stance.

"Yan, the rest of you, run first, run to the outer perimeter, don't worry about me, I have a way to escape. What's important is that I can't spare the time to help you. You protect your sister, understand?!"

"But..."

"But what all this fuss is about, you'll only get in the way here. It's been a long time since I had a big battle, so I'll just practice. I'll try my best to hold back those over a thousand years old, and you'll have to deal with the ones that are a hundred years old and ten years old yourselves."

He Chen said, already stepping forward, releasing his fifth and third soul skills, which he hadn't used before.

Fifth Soul Skill, Halberd Shadow!

Third Soul Skill, Halberd Chaos!

In front of He Chen, numerous crimson phantom images of the Heavenly Blaze Halberd appeared, each with a strong attack power. The phantom images appeared in the middle of the bats and attacked in all directions. This group attack quickly killed a large number of bats.

He Chen's various soul skills all cooperated with each other. Halberd Shadow and Halberd Chaos combined with Halberd Soul, Halberd Might, and Halberd Mark. The Heavenly Blaze Double Halberds could maximize the effects of the first five soul skills. Although the soul ring ratio wasn't the best, the combination of skills was the most perfect.

Seeing so many of their own being killed, the Steelwing Bats and the group of bats behind them were enraged, attacking He Chen as a group. Yan took this opportunity to lead Ming Tian and Yan Qingwan to escape first.

"Brother, is it really okay for us to leave Uncle He Chen? What if he can't handle it?"

Yan Qingwan still sounded worried. She was being held by Yan's hand while running away and couldn't help but look back.

"Don't be silly, my sister. Even if He Chen can't handle it, he can still escape. We'll only cause trouble there. The best thing to do now is to go back and call for help!"

"Yan, where's your distress signal? Didn't you send a distress signal last time and get help? Send a signal again!"

Ming Tian, panting, said breathlessly as he ran.

"Damn it, I forgot to bring it!"

Yan reached for his waist, finding nothing.

"Forget about that, do you guys feel like something is following us?"

Yan Qingwan said with some fear, causing Yan and Ming Tian to glance back, but they found nothing behind them, just a black expanse.

"No."

When the two turned their heads again, a purple creature suddenly descended from the sky in front of them.

"Chirp!!!!!!"

"Ah ah ah!"

All three of them were startled, and their path was blocked by a purple bat.

"What is this thing?!"

Even with Yan's knowledge, he couldn't immediately recognize what it was.

But there was no time for him to think. Yan quickly released his Flame Lord Martial Soul and completed the possession, standing in front.

This purple bat didn't seem to have anything special about it from its appearance. Facing Yan's attack, it simply had a dismissive attitude. It spat out purple flames from its mouth. The flames attacked Yan's body, and the flames on Yan's Flame Body dimmed slightly, while the purple flames clung to Yan's body like smoke and were difficult to remove.

As if mocking Yan, the bat clawed at Yan. Even the Scorpion Claw Slash that Ming Tian had just unleashed appeared. The purple bat retreated in fear, looking at Ming Tian as he came forward.

"Brother Yan, are you okay?"

"This is a Purpleflame Bat, which spits out purple flames. These flames are not easily extinguished and are corrosive."

"Damn it! How many years of cultivation does this thing have?"

"I estimate it's at least a thousand years of cultivation."

Ming Tian said with a solemn expression.

Soul beasts with a thousand years of cultivation are difficult for them to deal with, just the two of them with one ring each, unless...

"Ming Tian, I'll hold this thing off later, and you take Xiao Wan and go quickly. If you escape, don't forget to bury me properly, and if I have a body."

Yan looked at the Purpleflame Bat resolutely, his heart already set on dying. Hearing Yan say this, Ming Tian's heart was filled with conflict and struggle.

Should he expose his abilities to save Yan Qingwan and Yan? In this situation, there was absolutely no chance of survival if he held back.

While Ming Tian was pondering for a moment, Yan had already charged forward, desperately fighting the Purpleflame Bat.

"Brother, no!!"

Yan Qingwan, seeing Yan willing to sacrifice himself to save them, was already terrified. Although she didn't have a soul ring, she also released her martial soul in preparation to help.

The Purpleflame Bat, which was about to finish off Yan, sensed the Yan Lianji released by Yan Qingwan and was also stunned, as if it had found a target, ignoring Yan's attacks and flapping its wings to knock Yan away, sending him flying far away. Yan was knocked into the forest, and his life was unknown.

The Purpleflame Bat then flew towards Yan Qingwan with great interest, ignoring Ming Tian.

"Ah!! Help!!"

Yan Qingwan wanted to escape. The Purpleflame Bat flew to Yan Qingwan's head, and its claws fell, grabbing Yan Qingwan's shoulder. Due to the sharpness of the claws, Yan Qingwan was injured and bled, tearing her clothes.

"Ah――――――"

It must be said that when girls encountered danger, their screams were high-pitched.

Yan Qingwan watched the Purpleflame Bat grab her, her feet gradually leaving the ground, and a wave of fear filled her heart.

Somewhere, the Flamefang Beast, which was feeding its child, sensed something, raised its head, and sniffed. The little Flamefang Beast, which was eating at its feet, looked at its mother in confusion, not knowing what was happening to her.

Without saying a word, the Flamefang Beast picked up its child and threw it onto its back, smelled the scent, and ran in a certain direction.

"Evil God's Tail!!!"

A cold voice rang out from the ground. Yan Qingwan was stunned. Wasn't this Ming Tian's voice?

Then she saw a scene that shook her, a three-meter-long object like a tail on the ground, curling towards the Purpleflame Bat, and it quickly wrapped around the Purpleflame Bat's wings, pulling the person at the other end of the tail into the air, and the person at the other end of the tail was Ming Tian!

Two yellow soul rings shone on Ming Tian's body, and he looked at Yan Qingwan with a calm expression, shouting:

"Qingwan, don't be afraid, I'll get rid of this thing soon!"

"Brother Ming Tian, your soul rings? What's going on?"

Ming Tian wasn't a one-ring soul master? How could he have two soul rings? And his martial soul was different too?

Yan Qingwan was somewhat puzzled.

Ming Tian smiled wryly when he heard Yan Qingwan's words.

He was finally exposed. When Yan was attacked and disappeared, and Yan Qingwan was captured, Ming Tian felt unprecedented panic, especially when Yan Qingwan was grabbed by the Purpleflame Bat. If he didn't take action immediately, Yan Qingwan could be captured and eaten at any time. Ming Tian's heart was still too soft, and seeing Yan Qingwan's panicked cries for help, he didn't have time to think carefully and used his Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Martial Soul, using the Evil God's Tail to hook the Purpleflame Bat.

"Chirp!!!!!!"

The Purpleflame Bat felt a trace of inexplicable fear and turned its head to look at Ming Tian, spitting out purple flames again. It attacked Ming Tian.

"Evil God's Protection!"

Ming Tian's first soul ring lit up, and his body became ethereal, covered with a layer of gray airflow. The purple flames passed through without causing any harm.

The Purpleflame Bat's face showed a surprised expression, and Ming Tian smiled. Behind him, the phantom images of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the Three-Tailed Demon Scorpion reappeared.

Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Evil God's Punishment, activate!

After the fusion of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the Three-Tailed Demon Scorpion, the Scorpion Claw became wings that emitted a paralyzing purple light. The Purpleflame Bat's body, which was flying in the air, became stiff and froze for three seconds, losing its movements. The Purpleflame Bat, along with Ming Tian and Yan Qingwan, fell. Ming Tian swung the Evil God's Tail as a rope and, just as they were about to fall to the ground, swung it in front of Yan Qingwan. As the Purpleflame Bat released its claws, he caught Yan Qingwan and shielded her with his body, rolling to the side.

The Purpleflame Bat's huge body fell, breaking several trees and burying itself in the trees.

"Qingwan, are you okay?"

Ming Tian asked Yan Qingwan in his arms.

"I'm fine, Brother Ming Tian."

Yan Qingwan said shyly, as she was held in Ming Tian's arms, and the sense of security Ming Tian gave her made her feel at ease.

"It's good that you're okay. Let's get out of here quickly."

Ming Tian pulled Yan Qingwan up. The two were about to leave, when the Purpleflame Bat emerged from the ruins, making a cry, obviously enraged.

"Chirp!!!!!!"

"Ah! Brother Ming Tian!"

Yan Qingwan was frightened and immediately hid behind Ming Tian. Ming Tian spread his arms to protect Yan Qingwan.

"Qingwan, don't worry, I won't let it hurt you."

Saying this, Ming Tian switched to his Red Dog Martial Soul, and three yellow soul rings appeared.

"A Soul Master? Brother Ming Tian, you..."

"It's a long story, I'll explain it to you if we can get out of here."

Ming Tian said with a bit of a solemn expression.

"Chirp!!!"

The Purpleflame Bat was about to rush in front of Ming Tian and the two of them at an extremely fast speed, its entire body burning with purple flames, as if it was going to kill them on the spot!

"Yo!!!!!!"

Just as the Purpleflame Bat attacked, a yellow figure descended from the sky, its claws falling, scratching the Purpleflame Bat.

The Purpleflame Bat, Ming Tian, and Yan Qingwan were all stunned.

"Swoosh!!"

The Flamefang Beast arrived at the most critical moment, looking at the Purpleflame Bat, its eyes filled with rage.

"This is, a Flamefang Beast?!"
