Chapter 200 Battle Against the Bat King

As soon as Zi Dong and his companions entered the Bat King's territory, they were attacked by countless bats.

The two women quickly plucked luck from the luck tree to resist and kill the misfortune bats.

Misfortune affects cultivators by causing their true energy to reverse, making it impossible for them to exert their full strength.

Although the bats were not very strong, their sheer number caused the two women's luck to be rapidly depleted.

"Master, our luck is being depleted too much; I'm afraid we can't hold on much longer!" The Fox King quickly appealed to Zi Dong for help.

"It's just luck, I, the city lord, will give it to you!" Zi Dong waved his hand magnanimously.

The Fox King and the Scorpion King can only consume their own luck when they kill the bats, but they cannot gain any luck in return.

Zi Dong, however, was able to continuously acquire fortune, so supporting the two women was naturally no problem.

With the support of Zi Dong's boundless fortune, the Fox King and Scorpion King fought the overwhelming horde of bats with increasing ferocity.

Because of the connection through the soul imprint, the two women's slaying of the bats will also bring Zi Dong some luck, though much less.

Zi Dong had been using his righteous energy to protect the two women. When the two women were too exhausted, he used his righteous energy to help them recover.

No matter how many bats there were, they couldn't withstand the combined attacks of Zi Dong and his two companions. Besides, the bats' ability was to create misfortune, and their combat power wasn't strong.

The Bat King finally couldn't hold on any longer and flew out of the cave, leading all his minions to surround Zi Dong and his two companions.

If this continues, Batman will be left all alone.

"You three, leave at once, or I will spare your lives!" the Bat King roared, flapping his wings in mid-air.

"Commit suicide, and I, the city lord, will spare your men." Zi Dong waved his hand impatiently.

Donglai Ziqi told Zidong that he could not refine the Bat King's inner core, and even the Righteous Qi could not completely suppress the inner core's misfortune.

However, the inner core of a bat can be used to refine magical artifacts that strip away one's luck, and naturally, it can also resist misfortune.

Although it was of little use to Zi Dong, it was a rare high-grade spiritual artifact for cultivators.

Along the way, the Fox King and the Scorpion King had collected quite a few bat cores.

"You're courting death! Kill them!" The Bat King roared in fury and immediately unleashed his calamity upon Zi Dong and his companions.

The Fox King and the Scorpion King coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground. Their cultivation levels dropped to the First Grade Supreme Realm, and they were both seriously injured.

Zi Dong quickly used his righteous energy to protect the two women and used his luck to heal their injuries.

The bats had already rushed up, constantly bringing misfortune to Zi Dong and his companions, while the golden light enveloping them surged continuously.

Zi Dong ignored him and continued to remove the bad luck and heal the two women.

"Charge into the golden light, quick!" The Bat King shouted angrily upon seeing that Zi Dong was unharmed.

"Want to die? Then this city lord will grant your wish!" Zi Dong glanced at the Bat King with disdain and stepped out of the golden light.

When the Bat King saw Zi Dong emerge from the golden light, it immediately swung its two claws and charged forward.

Zi Dong immediately conjured a golden longsword in his right hand, slicing the Bat King's black cloak to shreds.

"Who are you?!" The Bat King flew up into the sky in terror and shouted angrily at Zi Dong.

"Zi Dong, Lord of Donglai City!" Zi Dong pointed his sword at the Bat King and said proudly.

"You are actually the city lord of Donglai City!" The Bat King was shocked and flew back into the sky.

Bats are experts at gathering intelligence, so they naturally knew of Zi Dong's formidable strength.

"Take your own life," Zi Dong said disdainfully, glancing at the Bat King trembling high in the sky.

"Kill him!" the Bat King roared, his voice trembling with fear, before turning and flying away at lightning speed.

Just as the bats were about to rush towards Zi Dong, they discovered that the Bat King had run away, and they were all stunned on the spot.

"Your king has abandoned you, so get out of here!" Zi Dong shouted sternly.

The bats exchanged bewildered glances. They dared not disobey the Bat King's orders, yet they couldn't disbelieve Zi Dong's words. "Get out of here!" The Fox King and Scorpion King also stepped out of the golden light, angrily shouting at the bats.

"Run," one bat muttered, and more bats followed suit.

"Run!" One of the bats finally took action and flew away into the distance.

"Let's go, let's beat up the Bat King." Seeing that all the bats had flown away, Zi Dong called to the two women and headed towards the Bat King's cave.

The bats all hid, and the three of them made their way through without any obstacles, soon arriving at the Bat King's cave.

It's a huge hole dug out of a mountain, leading directly from the mountaintop to the underground.

"The cave entrance is at the top of the mountain. You two wait here," Zi Dong instructed.

"Master, please be careful." The Fox King and the Scorpion King quickly bowed.

"You two be careful too." Zi Dong waved to the two women and then flew towards the mountaintop.

The Bat King's misfortune was enough to harm the two women, and Zi Dong didn't want any accidents to happen, which is why he had the two women wait at the foot of the mountain.

Although the mountain was very high, Zi Dong quickly flew to the top.

"Bat King, come out and face your death!" Zi Dong shouted into the cave from the entrance.

"Zi Dong, don't push your luck!" the Bat King cried out in terror from inside the cave.

"Bat King, you dare call yourself a human? Come out and face your death!" Zi Dong rebuked.

"I will not go out!" the Bat King cried out timidly.

He couldn't defeat Zi Dong, so he could only rely on the cave to protect himself, which was full of misfortune.

"Alright, then this city lord will go in and kill you!" Zi Dong leaped directly into the cave.

The Bat King, who had been hiding near the cave entrance, saw Zi Dongzhen rush in and quickly ran deeper into the cave.

The Bat King's cave is like a maze, even more complex than a beehive.

However, this was no problem for Zi Dong, as his divine sense could easily cover the entire cave.

The Bat King kept hiding in the labyrinthine caves, with Zi Dong in hot pursuit.

The Bat King was not only fast, but also very familiar with the cave, so Zi Dong couldn't catch up with it for a while.

"Then let's destroy it." Zi Dong glanced helplessly at the dark red cave and condensed countless golden swords.

"Swish, swish, swish," the cave walls crumbled one after another, and the Bat King had fewer and fewer places to hide.

"Bat King, commit suicide." Zi Dong cornered the Bat King in the final cave.

"Ancestor, save me!" The Bat King took out a jade slip, dripped blood on it, and cried out urgently.

"Oh, there are reinforcements?" Zi Dong put away the golden light and leisurely waited for the jade slip that was flashing with blood light.

"It's an avatar of a seventh-grade Supreme Realm expert," said Donglai Ziqi as a phantom appeared in the jade slip.

"Holy crap, what do we do?!" Zi Dong was startled and quickly called for help from Donglai Ziqi.

"Control this clone." Before Donglai Ziqi could finish speaking, a figure flashed beside Zi Dong.

"Can this clone defeat a clone of a seventh-grade supreme realm?" Zi Dong became even more anxious when he saw Donglai Ziqi bring out the previous clone.

"This clone is already at the seventh-grade Supreme Realm," said the purple aura from the east.

"Zi Dong, prepare to die!" After paying his respects to the ancestor's clone, the Bat King sneered at Zi Dong.

"You're the one who's going to die!" Zi Dong roared, controlling his clone to rush towards the Bat Ancestor's clone, while he himself rushed towards the Bat King.

Both clones were at the seventh-grade supreme realm, but the clone with the purple aura from the east had the assistance of righteous energy.

The Bat Ancestor's clone was suppressed, and Zi Dong easily killed the Bat King and obtained the Bat King's inner core.
