Chapter 8: The Azure Winged Bat King

  Nanhe Town, located in the northwest of Tianchao, bordering Xixia.

  At this time, Wu Ming was riding a horse heading north.

  "Come on, come on......" Wu Ming kept patting the fine horse under him. The past ten days had all been spent on rushing along the road. From Nanhe Town, he had been galloping non-stop and had already entered Western Xia three days ago. At this time, he was heading towards Kunlun Mountain. It seemed that by doing so, he had taken a detour and walked many more bends in the road. But if he had brushed against the Tianxia border, safety would be hard to guarantee. He wondered if Tian Boguang had already been escorted to Bianjing by now? And how long could he hold on?

  As for Tian Boguang, Wu Ming didn't know what to think. That kind of scoundrel should have taken him hostage, but instead he told him where the treasure map was hidden. Perhaps there's another purpose here? Heh, making himself a scapegoat? Wu Ming shook his head, unsure whether he should hate him or not. After all, no matter what, he had gained an advantage, even if it came with extreme danger.

  "Alas..."

  They were about to leave the Western Xia border, Wu Ming suddenly pulled the reins of his horse and looked at the people in front of him with a bitter expression. He didn't expect it to come so soon, although experience points increased quickly on this plane, but that still required killing monsters, these ten days were all spent rushing around, where was there any time to think about eliminating bandits and killing monsters?

  He was dressed in a black suit with extremely large sleeves that were connected to the clothes, his two hands spread out like a giant black bat. He sneered: "Little boy, do you still want to run? Hand over that thing and Black Bat will spare your life!"

  Upon hearing his name, Wu Ming suddenly felt at ease and loudly rebuked: "Hebei Black Bat, I heard you've already surrendered to Wei Zhongxian? If Tie Dan Shen Hou finds out, aren't you afraid he'll take you down?"

  In Hebei, there was once a wicked man who called himself the Black Bat. His lightness skill was extremely high, and few people in all of Hebei could compare to him. Later, he was subdued by Iron Gallbladder God Marquis and entered the Dragon Protection Mountain Villa. Originally, this wouldn't have caught the attention of Wu Ming from his past life, since Wu Ming had no connection with the Dragon Protection Mountain Villa. Especially after countless top-notch experts emerged, the Black Bat naturally became a nameless character, being only 29 levels at that time, and merely having Innate Ninth Level strength. Nowadays, he's probably around Innate Sixth or Seventh Level at most. However, it wasn't until he was mysteriously killed that it was revealed that this guy was actually an undercover agent arranged by Wei Zhongxian to be by Iron Gallbladder God Marquis' side, precisely because his strength was low but his lightness skill was extremely high, which made it convenient for him to make some small moves.

  But Wu Ming was quite curious at this time, with the strength of the black bat, it's probably easier to catch Tian Boguang than Tie Shou. Why did Tie Shou come out? But also, Wei Zhongxian is not dead yet, and there is Zhu Ge Zhengwo's restraint, and the Iron Courage God Marquis has not exploded his ambition yet.

  "Haha, kid knows a lot of things, looks like today I have no choice but to kill you!"

  The black bat let out a strange laugh, the tip of its foot touched the ground, and it shot towards Wu Ming like a cannonball, its speed was even faster than Tian Boguang.

  "Rise of the Purple Sun!" As Wu Ming spoke, he secretly manipulated his internal energy. With a flick of his wrists, the true energy within his body surged into his palms and was released in an instant.

  "Hmm..."

  Wu Ming's palm strike didn't take effect and instead he was sent flying three or four zhangs away by the black bat, along with his horse.

  "Wow......" Wu Ming's face darkened, unable to suppress the surging breath in his chest, a mouthful of blood spurted out. So strong, so terrifying internal force!

  Innate boundary, really too powerful!

  Following that, Wu Ming's heart darkened. This was just a small monster of twenty or so levels. If Wei Zhongxian, who had practiced the Peony Treasure Manual, were to come in person, how terrifying would that be? And what kind of existence were Tie Dan Shen Hou and Zhuge Zhengwo, who could match him?

  In the previous life, playing games, everything was dataized. Who would have thought that this scene would be so shocking? Although I knew from the beginning that I couldn't win, in fact, Wu Ming had never thought that he would lose so quickly.

  The black bat leisurely walked over, squatted down in front of Wu Ming and smiled slyly, saying: "Heh heh, kid, you've actually managed to cultivate true energy? Don't think about playing any more tricks, this desolate mountain wilderness doesn't have any 'heroes' who will jump out and lend a helping hand. Hurry up and hand over the goods, I want to get back and report as soon as possible!"

  Wu Ming actually had this idea in mind, why did he choose to take a detour around Tian Shan? It's not possible that he simply wanted to avoid him from afar. In the vast institution of Tian Chao, it's easy to find someone like playing hide and seek, unless you go deep into the mountains and forests. But where can you find so many mountains and forests to escape to?

  Wu Ming didn't know how that mysterious person from his previous life had escaped the Black Bat's pursuit, but his plan was simple: to come to Mount Kunlun and find another bat, one with terrifying strength. However, just as he was about to leave Western Xia and enter the border of Great Liao in the Kunlun Mountains, he was still being pursued.

  Covering his chest, Wu Ming smiled and said: "Black Bat, I've heard that your lightness skill is unmatched, but you were defeated by Iron Gallant God Marquis and Wei Zhongxian in the past. Especially Wei Zhongxian's lightness skill was something even you couldn't catch up to. So, it can be said that your lightness skill ranks third in the world?"

  The black bat was somewhat impatient, but upon hearing Wu Ming praise him, he felt delighted and burst out laughing: "I dare not say I'm the third in the world, but as for lightness skills, there are indeed few who can surpass me. What? You want to curry favor with me? If it were any other time, I'd be happy and let you off, but since you know my secret, I think you should get going sooner rather than later, lest I have a long and sleepless night!"

  As he spoke, Hei Wu Xue was about to grab into Wu Ming's clothes, apparently intending to search him personally.

  Wu Ming saw this, his heart sank, and he gambled. Suddenly his voice rose, and he said loudly: "Wait a minute, isn't it just a map? Even if I give it to you, you're afraid you won't be able to escape from here. You call yourself the Black Bat, do you know that there is another bat king on top of Kunlun Mountain? With your little lightness skill, you're probably just a foot soldier for him, and he doesn't even look up to you."

  "What? What Bat King? How dare you, I call myself the Black Bat, who dares to be called the Bat King? Hmph, I think you're tired of living, daring to fabricate nonsense to deceive me? The Bat King? If he's the Bat King, then I'm the Bat Emperor!" Originally, the Black Bat was furious after hearing this, but later realized that this kid was probably trying to provoke him on purpose, letting him go find someone who didn't exist, and then slipping away unnoticed. Hmph, I won't fall for it.

  Wu Ming's heart skipped a beat, it seemed that this black bat really didn't know about the existence of the Green Winged Bat King! However, it was also understandable, since the Ming Cult had been oppressed by the Liao Dynasty for several hundred years and could only hide in the Tianshan Mountains, few people in Central Plains probably knew about it. The only question was whether the Green Winged Bat King was nearby or not? If he had gambled wrong, he might really lose his life here!

  Just as Wu Ming was feeling anxious, a burst of laughter echoed through the mountains: "Hehehe... Hahaha..."

  It's here! It seems that rumor is true! Wu Ming heard this voice and was overjoyed in his heart, falling into the hands of the Green Wing Bat King still had a few chances of survival. The Green Wing Bat King's illness, he knew it very well!

  "Who is this sneaky rat hiding in the shadows? Come out and show yourself, you think you're some kind of hero with your tricks?"

  "Little bat, wasn't it just you who said you were the Bat Emperor in front of my Young Winged Bat King?" This time the voice was clear and ear-piercing, like a duck's quack.
