Douluo: Infinite Devourer

The clouds obscuring the moon gradually dispersed in the wind, and the moonlight shone down, illuminating the scene of the standoff on the empty grassland.

The Flamefang Beast, with its body of reddish-yellow fur, raised its head, glaring at the Purpleflame Bat. The flames on its body ignited, radiating a powerful aura.

The small Flamefang Beast on the Flamefang Beast's back ran down and came to Ming Tian and Yan Qingwan. Yan Qingwan bent down and held the small Flamefang Beast in her arms. Seeing the Flamefang Beast in front of her actually came to protect them, a wave of inexplicable emotion welled up in her heart.

It was clear that they had hurt the Flamefang Beast before. Although they had bandaged the Flamefang Beast, it should have hated them. But the Flamefang Beast in front of them actually came to protect her. It was strange, did soul beasts also have emotions? Was it just because she had bandaged the Flamefang Beast?

Yan Qingwan tilted her head, looking at the scene before her.

The Purpleflame Bat was clearly enraged. It hadn't expected that after finally getting its prey, another creature would come to interfere, and it was even a soul beast.

What was going on? How could a soul beast help humans, and a Flamefang Beast at that?

"Dog Bark!!!"

The Purpleflame Bat was also furious. No matter who came tonight, the humans in front of it must die, so it could relieve the hatred in its heart.

Dark purple flames burned from the Purpleflame Bat's body, like a wisp of smoke. This flame wasn't high in temperature, but it was the Purpleflame Bat's innate flame, corroding and clinging to the bones. Once it was touched, it wasn't easy to get rid of.

"Dog Bark!!!"

With a flash of purple, the Purpleflame Bat disappeared from its original spot. When it reappeared, it was already above the Flamefang Beast's head. It raised its wing, and its bat wings fell, like a guillotine. A purple, slender energy blade struck down towards the Flamefang Beast's head.

"Demon Bat's Cry!!!"

The Flamefang Beast opened its mouth, forming a long energy pillar of fire, and collided with the purple wing slash. Without caring whether it could block it or not, the Flamefang Beast flashed to the side and pounced on the Purpleflame Bat, its fiery claws swiping at the Purpleflame Bat's wings. If it were scratched, it would be severely injured.

The Purpleflame Bat, of course, wouldn't let the Flamefang Beast have its way. Low-altitude combat wasn't its strength; the air was its domain. The Purpleflame Bat dodged the Flamefang Beast's claws, flying up to a high altitude where the Flamefang Beast couldn't attack. As if mocking, it opened its mouth and emitted the sonic attack common to bats.

"Demon Bat's Cry!!!!"

The high-intensity, ear-piercing sound waves were continuous, as unpleasant as could be. But this move was indeed powerful. This strike was the Purpleflame Bat's innate sonic skill, Demon Bat's Cry.

The continuous, prolonged sonic waves not only affected the Flamefang Beast, but Yan Qingwan and Ming Tian also felt their eardrums ache. Seeing that Yan Qingwan's ears were bleeding, Ming Tian couldn't help but be furious.

"You think you're the only one with sonic skills!!!"

Ming Tian roared, and the Dog Bark soul ring lit up brightly, activating Dog Bark.

"Woof!!!!"

The bat's sound collided with the dog's bark, like a haphazardly played musical concert, causing immense suffering to the ears.

However, although the sound was unpleasant, it was indeed effective. At least the ear-piercing sensation brought about by the bat's sound was reduced somewhat. The Flamefang Beast gratefully glanced at Ming Tian; the effects on it had also decreased. It shook its fiery tail, and the fiery tail instantly grew longer, like a dancing dragon, sweeping towards the Purpleflame Bat in the sky.

The Flamefang Beast's innate soul skill, Flame Tail Hammer!

The long fiery tail soared into the sky and slammed towards the Purpleflame Bat. The Purpleflame Bat frantically flapped its wings, taking advantage of its speed to dodge the attack.

"This won't do. The Purpleflame Bat is too fast, and the Flamefang Beast can't lock onto it; it's at a disadvantage."

Ming Tian saw the disparity and advantages of both sides. In this situation, the Purpleflame Bat would still win by attrition.

"Qingwan, I'll go up and help the Flamefang Beast. You go first, don't worry about me."

Ming Tian said, using Dog Speed to move forward and come to the Flamefang Beast's side.

The Flamefang Beast looked at Ming Tian strangely, not knowing what he was going to do.

Ming Tian searched for the Purpleflame Bat's figure with his eyes, and said to the Flamefang Beast.

"You can understand what I'm saying, right? Later, try to force the Purpleflame Bat to a lower altitude. I have a way to deal with it."

Ming Tian said coldly. The Flamefang Beast nodded, wagging its tail, attacking the Purpleflame Bat's upper space, forcing the Purpleflame Bat to dodge only left and right. Ming Tian calculated the Purpleflame Bat's dodging route, urging his fourth martial soul, which he had devoured, and soul power gathered from his body, condensing into Ming Tian's eyes. A ring of purple soul rings gradually solidified from a faint shadow, as if brewing some terrifying move.

The aura of the thousand-year soul ring emanating from Ming Tian made the Flamefang Beast on the side couldn't help but glance sideways. Yan Qingwan, who was behind them, was even more shocked when she saw the purple soul ring appearing on Ming Tian, covering her small mouth, not knowing what to say. Various thoughts flashed through her mind.

Why did he have another purple soul ring? He had already used at least four different martial souls, right? He had the long scorpion tail martial soul, the martial soul with three yellow soul rings, and now he has another purple soul ring martial soul. How many martial souls does he actually have? What is his cultivation level?

Yan Qingwan felt that Ming Tian was becoming more and more mysterious, making her unable to see through him. She felt an urge to unravel his mystery, to understand him.

The Purpleflame Bat dodged and also found something wrong, feeling as if it was being watched by something. It looked at Ming Tian beside the Flamefang Beast. This look was not good. The Purpleflame Bat only felt that it was being watched by a ferocious, savage bull. A white bone bull head phantom appeared behind Ming Tian, and his pupils turned a yellowish color. The moment he looked at the Purpleflame Bat, the Purpleflame Bat's pupils also turned yellowish.

Affected by this mental impact, the Purpleflame Bat felt dizzy, and it fell down. How could the Flamefang Beast let go of this good opportunity? The Flame Tail Hammer wrapped around it, binding the Purpleflame Bat's body. The flames burned the Purpleflame Bat, and it was thrown around on the ground.

"Ugh..."

Ming Tian groaned as he finished using his soul skill, and he half-knelt on the ground.

What he had just used was the soul ring skill he had devoured from the Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull he killed a few days ago, his first thousand-year soul ring skill, Heavenly Void Eye!

It was the Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull's powerful mental attack skill, Heavenly Void Eye. It required eye contact with the opponent to form a mental impact, controlling the opponent's mind for a second and making them dizzy for three seconds!

"Ming Tian, are you alright!"

Yan Qingwan saw Ming Tian weakly kneeling on the ground and rushed forward, seeing that Ming Tian's mouth was bleeding, and she couldn't help but feel heartache.

"I'm fine. The thousand-year soul skill consumes a lot. With my current soul power, after releasing it once, I've almost exhausted all my soul power, leaving only about a tenth of it. I'm afraid I can't fight anymore, but I think the battle should be over."

Ming Tian looked at the battered Purpleflame Bat and thought it should be over.

Just as the two of them relaxed their vigilance and thought everything was fine, the Purpleflame Bat, which had been wrapped up by the Flame Tail Hammer, regained some consciousness. It had suffered such humiliation, it would do anything to get rid of them!!

"Demon Bat's Cry!!!"

Just when the Flamefang Beast wanted to use force to completely strangle the Purpleflame Bat, the Purpleflame Bat in the tail "poof" and struggled, as if strangling a phantom.

"Not good, it's a clone!"

Ming Tian saw it, feeling something was wrong. Sure enough, the Purpleflame Bat's cry came from behind them. The Purpleflame Bat, which had been scorched and roasted, looked ferocious and terrifying, as if it had gone mad, and attacked Ming Tian.

"No!!!"

Yan Qingwan was closest to Ming Tian and subconsciously stood in front of Ming Tian. Just when she thought she was going to die for Ming Tian, the small Flamefang Beast in her arms ran out. The small Flamefang Beast, with its small figure, met the Purpleflame Bat, so resolutely.

"Woof woof..."

Purple light flashed, and the small Flamefang Beast was knocked to the ground. How could it be a match for the already crazed Purpleflame Bat? But it was just to win these few seconds, allowing the Flamefang Beast to react. Seeing that its child was injured, it roared in anger!!

"Woof woof woof!!!"

The Flamefang Beast's entire body ignited with bright yellow flames and pounced on the Purpleflame Bat, knocking the Purpleflame Bat to the ground. The flames that ignited spread to the Purpleflame Bat's body, and the Purpleflame Bat screamed in terror, its claws pierced through its wings and pinned it to the ground, constantly scratching and trying to break free.

Ming Tian and Yan Qingwan were only shocked by this scene. Ming Tian mumbled:

"Ardent Soul's Guard, the innate soul skill of a female Flamefang Beast. It's only triggered when its child is in danger, burning itself, protecting its child until its life is exhausted."

Ming Tian mumbled, and his eyes were filled with admiration for this Flamefang Beast.

Yan Qingwan also cried, looking at the two soul beasts that were perishing together, burning to ashes under the moonlight.

"Woof woof woof..."

Beside Yan Qingwan's feet, the small Flamefang Beast from earlier dragged its body towards her, licking her feet.

Yan Qingwan squatted down. She wanted to save the small Flamefang Beast so much, but she couldn't.

"Woof woof, woof woof..."

The small Flamefang Beast was held in Yan Qingwan's arms. It struggled to raise its claws and pointed at its heart, its eyes looking at her as if pleading.

"It won't live long. It doesn't want its death to be worthless. It wants you to kill it and absorb its soul ring."

Ming Tian said in surprise. Yan Qingwan also understood the small Flamefang Beast's meaning.

"No! How can I do this? Let me have the heart to kill such a small creature..."

"I can't do it. It has already lost its mother."

Yan Qingwan said, tears streaming down her face.

"But it's seriously injured and probably won't live past tonight. It also likes you and wants to help you. Are you willing to let down this little creature's wishes?"

"I..."

Yan Qingwan looked at the small Flamefang Beast in her arms. The small Flamefang Beast licked Yan Qingwan's finger, nodded, and then struggled to point at its heart, and then pointed at the thousand-year soul ring of the Purpleflame Bat that appeared in front of them. It thought they didn't understand, and struggled to do this action again.

"I know, I know."

Yan Qingwan cried and nodded.

Not daring to look at the small Flamefang Beast anymore, she closed her eyes, and the hand holding the small Flamefang Beast put force on the small Flamefang Beast's neck. The small Flamefang Beast smiled one last time and closed its eyes. Its body went limp, and a yellow soul ring quietly appeared.

Yan Qingwan opened her eyes, looking at the small creature that had died in her arms, and tears like beans fell.

"Woah ah ah ah ah!!!"

In the dark night, the shrill cries of a six-year-old girl echoed.
