"It seems this is the king of these blood bats," Qian Xunji thought to himself.
"Man Yao, step back. Let me deal with it."
Man Yao knew that going up to help now would not only be useless but also cause trouble for Qian Xunji, so she nodded and said, "Brother Qin, you must be careful."
Qian Xunji nodded, releasing his Angel Domain, which instantly enveloped the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King.
Although this Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King possessed considerable intelligence, it couldn't possibly devise the best countermeasure in such a short time. Moreover, the space here wasn't exactly spacious; Qian Xunji's Angel Domain instantly covered it, giving it very little time to react.
Affected by Qian Xunji's domain, the Dark Gold Bat King suddenly became extremely agitated, its body shaking violently, letting out a shrill scream. A ring of dark red ripples spread from its head, enveloping Qian Xunji and Man Yao.
"How dare you!" Qian Xunji shouted, then swung his sword fiercely, aiming for the three heads of the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King.
This Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King was clever; it flapped its massive wings and narrowly dodged the attack.
"Take another strike!" Seeing the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King dodge his attack, Qian Xunji twisted his body and charged at it again.
At this moment, the distance between Qian Xunji and the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King was less than twenty meters. Qian Xunji wielded his ancient black sword, the blade flashing like a streak of light, dazzling to the eye.
With a 'whoosh', the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King let out a shriek. It turned out that Qian Xunji had severed both of its wings with a single strike, sending blood and flesh flying in a gruesome display.
Qian Xunji acted decisively, unleashing three more strikes, blasting its head apart. Golden light instantly spread, and with a whoosh, a large amount of golden liquid scattered everywhere. Any blood bats splashed by the liquid perished instantly, screaming in agony.
With the death of the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, the remaining blood bats were leaderless and charged towards Qian Xunji in a near-revengeful frenzy.
However, when an army loses its leader, it loses not only morale but also its commanding brain. Although the remaining blood bats were still numerous, they posed no threat to Qian Xunji and his group. With the activation of the Angelic Domain, countless blood bats melted and dissolved within the domain, disappearing completely in no time.
"Brother Qin, are you alright?" Manyao ran over and asked with concern.
"I'm fine, I just need to rest for a while," Qian Xunji said.
"Brother Qin, you're amazing! Without you, I definitely wouldn't have been able to manage alone. By the way, Brother Qin, what was that golden light barrier you just used? It felt incredibly powerful; the bats inside were like they were in a giant cauldron, all of them died," Manyao asked curiously.
"This thing is called a domain. It can help improve your own strength, like an auxiliary boost. And domains can play an incredible role in combat. For example, my domain can provide me with a 30% increase in strength and weaken the enemy by 10%."
"Ah, is a domain that powerful? I really want one too!" Manyao pouted and murmured.
"Our Manyao is so powerful, she'll have a domain sooner or later."
"Oh right, I almost forgot, we'll get a domain after we pass through Hell Road, called the Killing Domain." Qianxunji smiled at Manyao.
"Really? Then let's hurry up!" Manyao said eagerly.
"Silly girl, what's the rush? Let's adjust our condition first." Qianxunji flicked Manyao's smooth
, jade-like forehead. Manyao nodded obediently.
Just then, a sea of fire surged across the sky, one raging wave after another, seemingly trying to swallow the sky whole. Qian Xunji stared intently, discovering that the road ahead had been shattered by the aftershocks of his battle with the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, leaving behind a vast expanse of magma. Within this magma, a portal had abruptly formed.
The portal was entirely composed of solidified fire waves, resembling fiery serpents that shifted and moved about, creating a lively spectacle.
What was going on? Qian Xunji pondered, remaining silent.

Man Yao, standing to the side, was stunned, speechless. Gazing at the magnificent scenery, her rosy lips parted slightly, revealing her inner turmoil.
"Brother Qin, what's going on?" she asked in surprise.
"I don't know either. Something must have happened, but I don't know if it's good or bad," Qian Xunji said coldly.
Suddenly, Qian Xunji's spiritual sea trembled. He quickly immersed his consciousness into it to check the situation.
—The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger slowly emerged from
within Qian Xunji's spiritual sea, appearing at its edge. As soon as Qian Xunji entered, he saw the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger standing not far away, quietly waiting for him. Qian Xunji focused his gaze and saw that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was no longer as majestic and tall as before; instead, it had become smaller. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's original body length was a full eight meters, extremely powerful, and its wings, when spread, seemed to blot out the sky. But now, not only were its wings gone, but its tail had also become a regular tiger's tail, and the evil god hook at the end was pitifully small, without any energy fluctuations. Its main body had shrunk to only 1.5 meters long, far smaller than before. If it was incredibly ferocious before, this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger now looked rather cute, more like a large black cat. "Brother Tiger, did you call me in for something? But you look quite adorable," Qian Xunji laughed. "Boy, I called you in because I have serious business to tell you. Don't be so frivolous," the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger said seriously. Qian Xunji straightened his posture and said earnestly, "Go ahead." "I just sensed a power that doesn't belong to the Douluo Continent, which awakened me from my slumber. I checked it and found it's this fiery portal in front of you. Through it, you should discover something extraordinary. Boy, do you want to go in and take a look?" the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger said. "You feel the same way? I sensed it too. I feel this portal is definitely not simple. I didn't want to go in, but it seems like a voice keeps urging me to go in and take a look, or I'll regret it." Qian Xunji said seriously. "I feel there's definitely something strange and eerie inside." "I'll go in and take a look. I won't be satisfied if I don't." Qian Xunji said. "Boy, are you sure? What if it's a dead end? Aren't you afraid?" Dark Demon Evil God Tiger stared intently at Qian Xunji. "What's there to be afraid of? It's just death. If I can't even cross it, what right do I have to become stronger?" Qian Xunji said firmly. "Alright then, I'll stay in the Sea of Spirit. If you need any help, just find me." Dark Demon Evil God Tiger said. Qian Xunji nodded and slowly withdrew from the Sea of Spirit. -- Slaughter City, Hell Road Qian Xunji slowly withdrew from the Sea of Spirit, only to see Manyao looking at him with tears in her eyes. Qian Xunji was completely baffled, not knowing what had happened to Manyao. (End of Chapter)
