Continuing forward, the number of corpses increased, with human skin hanging from the cave walls. Since entering the cave, they had seen no fewer than a hundred, some already desiccated.
Suddenly, Qian Xunji's golden eyes lit up, and he fully activated his mental power, seemingly having discovered something. Gradually, the faint sounds appeared in Qian Xunji's mental world. The sounds weren't loud, but their frequency was extremely fast, and these faint sounds were approaching them. Qian Xunji saw
some red shadows rapidly approaching. He quickly understood why the frequency of the sounds was so fast in his mental perception. Because these flying creatures weren't just one or two, but a swarm. At least a swarm of thousands.
The blood-red bats flew very fast, and in a short while, they were close enough. Their eyes were also blood-red; upon spotting their target, they made a cawing sound, revealing sharp fangs. The flapping of wings by thousands of blood bats created a foul stench, causing Qian Xunji to frown repeatedly.
Qian Xunji immediately summoned his Angelic Martial Soul. Three pairs of beautiful, pure white wings gently unfurled, each feather seemingly painted on, ethereal and dreamlike, like a holy angel from a fairy tale.
Slowly ascending, the previously aloof young man in his sharp black robes had completely transformed. His golden hair, flowing like a willow by a lake, cascaded down his sides, swaying gently in the breeze, a breathtaking sight.
His eyes were crystal clear, carrying a hint of icy coldness, yet also the gentleness of a spring stream. With just one glance, one felt as if the golden-haired man had descended to earth as an angel.
The sword in his hand had changed from an ancient black sword to a golden longsword, a holy radiance constantly pouring forth from him, like the warm sun of spring. It seemed that anyone bathed in this dazzling golden light would feel warm all over, even the flow of soul power would become much smoother.
Jiang Hao, standing to the side, was completely stunned, frozen in place, at a loss for what to do.
"Stay here and don't move," Qian Xunji ordered, then cast a soul power barrier around him—a barrier that no one below level 70 could break.
"Third Soul Skill, Angel's Fall!"
As Qian Xunji's magnetic voice fell, the next second, an even more dazzling golden light erupted from his massive body. Then, countless golden feathers poured forth from the six pure white wings behind Qian Xunji, raining down on the old man in front of him.
However, these feathers were no ordinary ones. Each one was as if forged from metal, incredibly sharp.
Seeing countless chillingly sharp feathers scattering towards the bat, the bat screamed mournfully and retreated, as if it had encountered something terrifying. Blood flowed freely, the stench of gore filling the air. Countless terrifying blood blossoms appeared and fell to the ground in the night, quickly piling up a thick heap of bat corpses nearly half a person's height.
This terrifying scene lasted for an unknown amount of time, until the pile of bat corpses outside the circle of light was almost as tall as a person, at which point the bat swarm finally ceased its powerful and ferocious attack. The six-winged angel's radiance still flickered in the darkness, standing firm.
Qian Xunji had just breathed a sigh of relief when suddenly, a furious shout came from afar, causing his relaxed body to tense up again.
"How dare you! Who hurt my little bat baby? I'll kill you! Ahhh!"
A person completely shrouded in black robes approached rapidly, emanating a thick black mist, looking both menacing and terrifying.
"A six-winged angel? You're from the Spirit Hall? Damn it, since you're here, stay here. Fifth Spirit Skill, Bat Tooth Beak," the man in black said.
The man in black swiftly summoned his Spirit, five Spirit Rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—flashing beneath his feet, his eyes flashing red. His Spirit was possessed—a vampire bat.
The man in black went all out from the start, unleashing his strongest Spirit Skill. However, this was in vain. Not to mention that Qian Xunji's martial soul was the god-level martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel, his soul power level alone was as high as level 78, which was very close to the Soul Douluo level. The result was of course without any suspense.

Qian Xunji in the sky had clearly discerned the information about the black-clad man's martial soul from it. The Vampire Bat Martial Soul was a general term for all species of vampire bats in the bat family. Vampire bats are small, without exposed tails, and their fur is primarily dark red. They appear extremely ugly and only become active after dark, hunting at fixed times each night—sucking the blood of animals. Different species of vampire bats feed on different prey.
"You stinking rats in the gutter, you have murdered so many people to fund your cultivation, utterly depraved! It is against all reason not to eliminate you. I, Qian Xunji, in the name of angels, will send you to the Yellow Springs, to slowly repent in hell," Qian Xunji said calmly, his expression devoid of joy or sorrow, much like the angelic martial soul behind him, like a god descending to earth, looking down upon humanity.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Angelic Holy Sword."
Qian Xunji gripped the Angelic Holy Sword tightly with both hands, raising it above his head. The sword emitted a deadly golden light, seemingly merging with Qian Xunji. Then, he thrust it fiercely at the man in black. The moment the Angelic Holy Sword touched the black mist surrounding the man, the mist retreated as if encountering something terrifying. Undoubtedly, the Angelic Holy Sword pierced his body as easily as cutting tofu.
"Pfft!" The man in black spat out a mouthful of blood, a foul-smelling black blood, and poisonous. Qian Xunji immediately withdrew the Angelic Holy Sword, dodging swiftly.
"Damn, disgusting, I almost got splattered on myself," Qian Xunji said with disgust.
"You—" The man in black seemed unable to bear Qian Xunji's venomous tongue, spitting out another mouthful of blood.
The man in black scrambled to his feet, thinking to himself: I definitely can't escape today, but I can't let him know our secret. I have no choice but to self-destruct. One day, the Holy Spirit will shine upon the earth, and Douluo Continent will become a paradise for us evil soul masters.
Thinking this, the man in black suddenly decided to self-destruct. Qian Xunji, who was already watching from the side, saw the man's eyes darting around, wondering what mischief he was plotting, and couldn't afford not to be wary. Immediately, just as the man in black was about to self-destruct, Qian Xunji's soul power surged forth, forming a soul power chain that restrained the man in black.
This skill was a method of using soul power that Qian Xunji had gradually developed during his training, combining it with some knowledge from his previous life; it was extremely effective.
"What, what is this?" The man in black stared in astonishment at the soul power chains binding his hands and feet, his heart filled with shock.
"Let me go!" The man in black struggled desperately.
"Don't waste your energy; you can't break free unless your soul power level is higher than mine," Qian Xunji sneered.
"Tell me, what secrets do you have that you're willing to self-destruct to prevent me from obtaining?" Qian Xunji said.
"Bah! I'd rather die than tell you!" the man in black retorted stubbornly.
"Sigh, why do you have to force me? Since you won't talk, I won't be polite, hehe." Qianxunji chuckled wickedly.
"W-What are you going to do? Don't come any closer!" the man in black said in fear.
