Chapter 1977: Dark Bat Spirits

Even ordinary sunlight can kill them; this is the reason why these things only appear at night.

Yet the Three Yang True Fire in Chen Yu's hand is more than a hundred times more powerful than sunlight. As he flicks his hand, faint Original Power gathers at his right fingertips.

Whoosh... A streak of fire shoots from his fingertips, instantly shrouding more than half the sky.

Three Yang True Fire ignites upon encountering darkness; to this Three Yang True Fire Talisman, these Dark Creatures are nothing but fuel.

With a hum, the Bat Spirits across the entire sky turn into flames.

Hysterical screams erupt from the bodies of these Bat Spirits, and countless Bat Spirits turn into dust amidst the firelight.

At this moment, Xueli has finished chanting her incantation, and the Crystal Ball in her hand erupts with extremely powerful force.

Hum, white radiance spreads in all directions once more. This time, the Holy Power forms a massive net, trapping all the remaining Bat Spirits within it.

As she withdraws her hand gesture, the Bat Spirits filling the sky turn to dust and disappear completely.

This battle, which was originally a desperate fight for Liao and his son, ends right here.

The moon reappears in the sky, but because so many Bat Spirits died here just now, the moonlight looks somewhat dark red.

A burnt smell permeates the air, signaling the end of a battle; this is also the only evidence that those tens of thousands of Bat Spirits ever existed.

Liao and his son Feilisi are stunned. Feilisi holds that spear, which is taller than he is, and stares blankly at the two of them.

He hadn't even prepared for battle yet, and this desperate fight was already over? No, this is fake, this must be fake; he must have seen it wrong.

"It's... over just like that?" Liao looks at everything before him in surprise, not knowing what to do for a moment.

If it were a one-on-one fight, these Bat Spirits would indeed pose no threat to him.

But the terrifying thing about these creatures is that they never travel alone; they always appear in a dense, overwhelming swarm.

He had slashed many Bat Spirits in the Black Wind Forest, but in the end, he was overwhelmed by their numbers and had no choice but to flee.

However, the coordination between Chen Yu and Xueli was almost seamless.

Especially Xueli; the Holy Object Crystal Ball in her hand wiped out these tens of thousands of Bat Spirits in two waves of attacks, which even he finds unbelievable.

"Yes, it's over." Xueli puts away the Crystal Ball and says, "You should be glad you didn't refuse us. Otherwise, if these tens of thousands of Bat Spirits had really attacked, I'm afraid no one could have withstood it, right?"

"I am very glad I wasn't stubborn." Liao breathes a sigh of relief: "Their numbers far exceeded our imagination."

"I hadn't even prepared myself, and it's already over?" Feilisi still looks incredulous.

He had wanted to be a Warrior, but by the time he grabbed his weapon and rushed out full of hot-blooded passion, the battle was already over.

For him, this is also a setback, because he never knew such powerful existences could exist in this world.

"Don't be discouraged, Feilisi, you are still young." Xueli strokes his little head and says: "There will be more opportunities to duel with Dark Creatures in the future."

"But... you are really, really too strong." Feilisi shakes his head: "It seems I underestimated you before."

"The truly powerful one is this Brother Chen from Huaxia." Moli says with a smile: "His attack method bought me enough time."

"And the reason I was able to catch these things in one net and eliminate them completely relies on the Holy Hand passed down within the Pope."

"But if he hadn't bought me time, even if I were faster, I'm afraid I couldn't have withstood their second attack."

"But regardless, you are both heroes." Feilisi says earnestly: "When I grow up, I must become someone like you."

"Good, Feilisi, you and your father can go to the Pope tomorrow; we will take over here." Xueli says: "The Pope needs people like you."

"I also believe that the future you will surely grow into an outstanding fighter; I congratulate you in advance."

"Thank you." Having received recognition, Feilisi appears very happy.

"I want to go to the Endless Coast with you." Liao lowers his head, ponders for a moment, and then looks up.

"You need to think clearly about what you are saying." Chen Yu glances at him: "You know better than us what kind of place the Endless Coast is. With your strength, once you get there, your power will vanish."

"At that time, you will be an ordinary person, and you will only end up as fresh food on the Blood Clan's dining table; other than that, you can do nothing."

Liao falls into Silence. What Chen Yu said is indeed correct; with his strength, once he arrives there, he has almost no other path to take besides becoming food.

"Liao, don't worry, we will definitely succeed in resolving the Blood Clan's problem this time." Moli says: "And if you follow us, you might not be able to help with anything, and we won't be able to spare the effort to look after you then."

"Have I reached the point where I need others to look after me?" Liao gives a bitter smile.

But thinking about the situation at the Endless Coast, he helplessly shakes his head: "Forget it, I originally wanted to go on an adventure with you, but you are all going to handle serious business, so I will honestly follow the arrangements."

"Liao, I also think you should follow their arrangements; they are truly too powerful." Feilisi is now practically a little fanboy of Chen Yu and Xueli; that battle just now truly shocked him.

"Feilisi, you can't be so fickle." Liao is speechless; is his own son looking down on him too?

"I'm not being fickle, I'm speaking seriously." Feilisi says with a smile: "You often mention the Endless Coast to me, and you know how terrifying it is inside."

"If you go over there, you really would make others look after you, and in that case, the mission could never be completed. You need to think clearly about this point."

"You are right, I have thought it through. You two, stay here for the night and leave early tomorrow morning." Liao looks up at the two of them.

"Very well, we will set off again tomorrow morning."

The next day, Chen Yu and Xueli continue forward. The two must pass through the Black Wind Forest, a place where cracks of the Dark Abyss exist; if one is not careful, Dark Creatures will pop out.

"The cracks in the Black Wind Forest have existed for a long time; we will find a way to seal this place off on our way back." Xueli says: "The problem here is not too big."

"Then, was the large-scale appearance of Bat Spirits yesterday because the cracks in the Black Wind Forest have grown larger?" Chen Yu voices the doubt in his heart.
