Chapter 123 See You Again in the Martial World
The giant bat screeched and vigorously stirred the pool of blood, causing blood to splatter everywhere. Qi Lian'er and the other six people nearby were almost completely stained with blood, and unable to bear it, they all coughed up blood.
Upon seeing this, the giant bat became even more excited, flapping its wings wildly, baring its two long fangs, and croaking a strange laugh.
Zhou Fengchen and Monk Yuanzhi felt a chill run down their spines, finding it rather disgusting. They pursed their lips and said, "Ew—"
At this moment, Qi Lian'er suddenly spoke up urgently, "Zhou Fengchen, this old bat is a powerful demon from this area, named Granny Black Bat. She has harmed countless people, and her illusion magic is extremely powerful. We entered this place from the school last time. If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to kill it again. Come and help!"
Zhou Fengchen was taken aback, thinking to himself that it was no wonder Qi Lian'er and the others wanted to follow the old lady dog spirit and come in from the outside like him; it was just too much trouble.
At this moment, Monk Yuanzhi, for some unknown reason, blurted out, "Hehe, I can ask my brother for help, but he doesn't have a wife yet. Which of you three girls is willing to sacrifice yourself?"
"What do you mean?" Zhou Fengchen snapped, yelling at Monk Yuanzhi, "Being my girlfriend is considered sacrificing yourself? Am I really that bad?"
Before Monk Yuanzhi could speak, Song Xixue snorted loudly, "Even if I grow old alone, I'd rather not be the girlfriend of someone like you!"
Sang Rongrong coldly replied, "Help or don't, it's one thing to take advantage of someone in distress, what kind of person are you?"
Zhou Fengchen's embarrassment was beyond words; he really wanted to kick Monk Yuanzhi.
Qi Lian'er took a deep breath. "Zhou Fengchen, exorcising demons is a righteous thing. If you insist on using such a trivial matter as blackmail, then I've misjudged you."
Zhou Fengchen felt even more embarrassed, thinking to himself, "It's like you used to value me a lot." He rubbed his nose, snatched the goose-wing knife from Monk Yuanzhi, ran a few steps, stepped on Zhang Shisan's head, and swiftly reached the top of the giant bat's head, swinging the knife to strike.
This decisive and swift approach left everyone stunned, but the most exciting part was yet to come...
The giant bat opened its mouth and swallowed Zhou Fengchen whole, knife and all.
"Well……"
Qi Lian'er and the other six blinked, momentarily unable to process what was happening.
Monk Yuanzhi's eyes widened, his body trembled, and with a roar, he picked up a large rock from the ground and charged towards the blood pool, shouting, "Damn it! I'll kill you, you dead bat, today!"
However, before he could reach the edge of the pool, the giant bat let out a miserable cry, and a bloody gash appeared on its chest. Zhou Fengchen, covered in blood and stubble, crawled out of the gash, kicked off the bat's belly, and with a somersault, landed cleanly behind Doromo.
The giant bat behind him swayed three times, let out a strange cry, and fell into the pool of blood, dead!
"Well……"
Qi Lian'er and the other six looked at the bats in the pool, then at Zhou Fengchen, and were stunned. They had to admit that Zhou Fengchen's reckless courage and beautiful martial arts skills were quite admirable.
But Zhou Fengchen's next words completely shocked them: "Do you think... I'm provocative?"
As he said this, he lowered his head, gripped the knife, and blood dripped from his clothes and the tip of the knife onto the ground, giving him a somewhat cool look.
Monk Yuanzhi immediately responded enthusiastically, "Brother! No doubt about it, that's awesome!"
Sang Rongrong curled her lip. "What exactly is your definition of 'slut'? You're crazy!"
Song Xixue scoffed, "This old bat is almost dead. Anyone could kill it. What are you so smug about?"
Doromo sneered and shook his head in disdain.
Zhou Fengchen had been waiting for this moment. He swung his sword backhand and chopped at Doromo's head, yelling, "There's more to come! Die, you bastard!"
This sudden turn of events stunned everyone; Doromo was exhausted and had no chance to resist.
Just as Zhou Fengchen was about to strike Doromo's head with his sword, Qi Lian'er picked up the longsword from the ground, leaped forward, and narrowly blocked the blow. With a clang, the two of them took a step back.
Monk Yuanzhi was eagerly waiting for Doromo to die so he could leave this awful place as soon as possible. But upon seeing this, he couldn't help but sigh.
Zhou Fengchen was also annoyed and asked coldly, "What do you mean?"
Qi Lian'er retorted with a stern face, "And what do you mean by that?"
Doromo seemed to just realize what was happening, staggering to his feet. "Zhou Fengchen! What kind of skill is it to take advantage of someone in distress?"
Zhou Fengchen slapped Qi Lian'er's sword away and cursed, "I'm going to kill you, what's the point of talking about skill!"
At this moment, Song Xixue and Han Fei got up and stood in front of Doromo, while Sang Rongrong and Zhang Shisan stood behind Qi Lian'er.
Upon seeing this, Monk Yuanzhi picked up a stone and ran to Zhou Fengchen's side, shouting, "Hey! In a group fight, we two brothers have never been afraid of anyone!"
Zhou Fengchen looked at Doromo and the other two, then at Qi Lian'er and the other two, unsure of their relationship. Even though the six of them were injured, he still had no confidence in a fight to the death.
Doromo was panting heavily, glaring fiercely at Zhou Fengchen, clearly frightened by the knife strike he had just received.
Qi Lian'er frowned and said, "I don't know what grudges you have against each other, but it's fate that you joined forces to get rid of this harmful bat. Why can't you explain things clearly instead of resorting to violence?"
"I'm afraid it's hard to explain..." Han Fei shook his head and smiled, then explained the grudge between the two of them.
Qi Lian'er laughed upon hearing this and said to Doromo, "Your grandfather's affairs, in reality, have little to do with Zhou Fengchen's grandfather. Besides... so many years have passed, why bother?"
Doromo said with a stern face, "Who can truly understand the grudges between generations? I just didn't expect my enemy to have such a grandson. I'll give Maoshan some face, Zhou Fengchen, I won't seek revenge on your grandfather, nor will I touch your family, but... our business isn't over! We'll meet again another day!"
With that, he sheathed the skull sword, turned and left. Han Fei and Song Xixue exchanged a glance, then also withdrew their attacks and followed him out.
Zhou Fengchen glanced at Qi Lian'er and the other two who were vaguely blocking his way, and said irritably, "You think I'm afraid of you? What are you?!"
After Doromo and his two companions disappeared into the cave passage without looking back, Qi Lian'er said to Zhou Fengchen, "Doromo is the Holy Son of the Shamanism. The Shamanism has thirty-six spirit mediums deep in the grasslands. Their methods of summoning clouds and rain, cursing, and so on are extremely powerful. If they really wanted to take revenge on your family, they would have succeeded long ago. The reason Doromo came here alone is probably just for fun, but now the feud between you two is officially established."
Without waiting for Zhou Fengchen to speak, he took out a small bottle from his pocket, walked to the blood pool, and poured it down.
Zhang Shisan took out a lighter and lit it on the blood pool. In an instant, a raging fire broke out, and a foul stench filled the air.
"Let's go!" Qi Lian'er said, and ran out of the cave first.
Sang Rongrong and Zhang Shisan followed, while Zhou Fengchen and Monk Yuanzhi exchanged a glance and also went out.
It was already dawn when we emerged from the cave. The east was showing the first light of day, and the air in the mountains was incredibly fresh. All around us was lush greenery, which instantly lifted our spirits.
After Doromo and his two companions disappeared, Qi Lian'er and the other four gazed at the mountain scenery, took a deep breath, and felt as if they had been transported to another world.
There was a mountain path overgrown with weeds on the side of the nunnery. The five of them walked down the mountain along the path in silence. When they passed the desolate mountain village, they stopped and looked around for a while before continuing down the mountain.
Several hours later, they arrived at the foot of the mountain. Qi Lian'er nodded to Zhou Fengchen and said, "Things here are over. We're leaving now. I hope we'll meet again in the martial world!"
Zhou Fengchen had absolutely no idea what the martial world was, but he found meeting Qi Lian'er and the others quite interesting. He smiled and said, "See you in the martial world!"
