Chapter 9: Making a Deal with the Azure Winged Bat King (Second Update)
Rumor has it that the Blue Winged Bat King cultivated the Frost Palm, but his internal energy was too thick and he had to suppress it by absorbing the blood of living creatures every now and then. After that, the Blue Winged Bat King liked to wander around the Heavenly Mountains.
This person's reputation is both good and evil. Since the Ming Cult's power was suppressed by the joint forces of Liao and Western Xia, it has retreated to Kunlun Mountain's Guangming Peak. Internally, there seem to be big problems, with several high-ranking members having internal conflicts. Now, only Guangming Left Envoy Yang and this Qingyi Bat King are still staying at Guangming Peak.
"Green-winged Bat King, if you have the ability, come out and let me see if you have the ability to claim to be the Bat King!" The black bat's face turned iron-green, as a master of lightness kung fu, he couldn't even detect where his opponent was until now.
"Hahaha, little bat, since you want to see me, let you take a look at the Bat King!"
The words had barely fallen when Wu Ming discovered a cyan figure in front of him, and those words seemed to have been said right in front of him.
"You, you, you're the Azure Winged Bat King?" The Black Bat swallowed his saliva, and just now he didn't even see how this frail old man appeared. This speed, it was so fast that he himself couldn't see clearly, several times faster than a 9,000-year-old?
"What's wrong, didn't you want to see me? Hehe, now that you've seen old me, are you scared?" The Green Winged Bat King cackled with laughter. "All of you come with me!"
The Azure Winged Bat King held one in each hand, grasping both Wu Ming and the Black Bat. Just then, a flash of azure light streaked by, leaving behind only a black horse leisurely eating grass, and a pool of fresh blood covering the ground. Everything seemed to have returned to calm once again.
In the land of Kunlun Mountains, there were countless large and small peaks, with mountains overlapping each other. Wu Ming didn't know where he was at this time either. He only knew that he should be in a certain hidden cave, but he didn't know how deep it was. The sunlight outside couldn't shine in, and as he pondered, his chest began to ache again.
"Hey kid, wake up?"
Wu Ming knew it was the voice of Qing Yi Bat King Wei Yixiao, and at this time he had lost his previous madness, but instead was unusually calm. However, this darkness had no light, and the cave was not large with echoes, so he didn't know where Wei Yixiao was exactly. When he heard Wei Yixiao speak, Wu Ming quickly cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, senior, for saving my life, I thank you here!"
"Never mind the thanks for now, let's get the stuff out first!" Wei's calm and collected voice made Wu Ming's heart skip a beat - could this old bat also be after it?
"Senior, what's up? Uh, I have something else to attend to..."
"Little kid, do you still want to play tricks in front of Ben Wang? I've lived for over a hundred years, if I let you get away with this, wouldn't Yang Xiao laugh me to death? Hand over the thing, and I'll spare your life!" Wei Yixiao said calmly.
Wu Ming's heart calmed down a bit, fortunately this old bat still didn't know what it was.
"I beg your pardon, Bat King, this thing is a family heirloom and cannot..."
Before he could finish speaking, a gust of wind appeared beside him, and a hand directly reached into his chest. The sheepskin scroll in Wu Ming's arms had already been taken away.
"Thirty-six Heaven-Defying Palm?" Wei Yi smiled in surprise, and after finishing reading it, he threw it back to Wu Ming, coldly saying: "A human-level technique, would it be worth this Black Bat chasing you to kill? Listening to your words, it seems that you are still under the East Factory of Tian Chao, under the command of Wei Zhongxian. If there is only this one human-level technique, would Wei Zhongxian, that eunuch, use so much effort? Ha! And also Iron Gallant God Marquis... You might not know, but before I came out, I killed a few more people!"
"Still, is there anyone else?" Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, then understood. It's likely that Tie Dan Shen Hou had been wary of this black bat all along. That old man was extremely well-hidden; if he hadn't finally gotten rid of Wei Zhongxian in the end, no one would have known he had such great power and ambition!
Since Qing Yi Bat King already knew, Wu Ming had nothing to say. No wonder those few words could provoke him out. It turned out that he was waiting for himself to deliver it to his doorstep all along. However, since that's the case, it won't work either. Wu Ming made up his mind and cupped his hands, saying: "Senior, please forgive me, this sheepskin scroll is something I created myself, and it's impossible to carry it with me."
The Blue Winged Bat King suddenly laughed and said: "Good kid, sinister and cunning, calculating every step. It makes me like you a bit. If it were any other time, I'd take you as my apprentice and teach you my martial arts. But today, you must hand this thing over. Otherwise, I'll suck your blood dry! Hehe, since you know my name is Blue Winged Bat King, then you should also know that this bat king loves to drink human blood."
After finishing speaking, Qing Yi Bat King grasped Wu Ming's neck with one hand, and his eyes emitted a green light.
"Senior, or else I... I'll exchange something with you!" Wu Ming, who was being choked and couldn't breathe, quickly revealed his trump card.
"Huh? Could there be something even better than the Musou Castle ruins? Hehehe, I'll let you tell me, if I'm not satisfied, your life will be mine." The Azure Winged Bat King released his grip.
"This, this thing, may not be as good as the Undying City's relic to others, but it is extremely important to you, something that can save your life!" Wu Ming panted heavily, the terror he felt just now was even more than when he faced Tian Boguang.
"Oh, concerning my life? Hehe, who can kill me in this world? Is it Iron Gallbladder God Marquis or Wei Zhongxian? Or is it Zhuge Zhengwo? Although I may not be able to defeat them, but if I want to run, hehe, they won't be able to stop me!" Wei Yixiao's face hidden in the darkness suddenly turned cold, as if he felt being played.
"That's right, that's for sure. In this world, if the Bat King acknowledges himself as the second in lightness kung fu, no one dares to say they are the first. But the Bat King has a fatal weakness." Wu Ming was not anxious at this time, speaking slowly, thinking of a countermeasure in his heart.
"Hmm? You said!" Wei Yixiao hummed lightly, and the entire cave suddenly dropped several degrees in temperature, as if it had become icy cold. To know this matter, even Yang Xun didn't know about it, it was something that happened before he joined the Ming Cult.
Wu Ming forced himself to adapt to this fearful atmosphere and said faintly, "Vampire King, you went mad from practicing the Ice Palm technique in your early years. If you didn't reach midnight, the true energy of the ice would flow backwards through your meridians. That's why you sucked human blood to suppress that true energy. People are ignorant, thinking that the Vampire King was called the Green Winged Vampire King because of his exceptional lightness skill, but they don't know that it was actually because he sucked human blood that he got this name. Is what I said correct?"
"Hahaha... I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that you would be the one to expose me today. Kid, speak up quickly, if you have something to say, spit it out! If what you said is true, I'll let you off the hook!" Wei Yixiao laughed loudly, but his face remained icy cold afterwards.
Wu Ming stroked his palm and laughed: "Alright, since senior is being straightforward, junior won't be stingy either. I'd like to exchange the peerless Nine Yang True Classic for a life, plus the treasure map of the Unparalleled City ruins! Of course, if senior is willing to take me as an apprentice, junior can also offer the location of the Unparalleled City ruins with both hands."
