Chapter 5221: Three paths

“The flaming bat King? Just what does the flaming bat King look like?” Everyone hurriedly shouted when they heard this. There were thousands of fire bats here, and they all looked almost the same. Even if they lined up one by one, they probably wouldn’t be able to see anything, let alone in this situation.

“The strongest one is the fire bat King!” Lin Yi said in a deep voice. It was hard to tell from their appearance, but one thing was for sure-the bat King’s strength was above all the other bats, or it wouldn’t be able to control the entire group.

Although this was the case, it was not easy to find the strongest among the thousands of fire bats. With the perception of the spiritual sense of these Foundation Stage Masters, it was difficult to even lock onto the position of these rapidly moving fire bats, let alone carefully determine the strength of each fire bat.

This was as difficult as climbing the sky for everyone, but it was a piece of cake for Lin Yi. He found the bat King’s trail in an instant. Most of the other bats were at the early Foundation Stage, and the stronger ones were at the peak of the early Foundation Stage at most. This bat King, however, looked the same, but it was at the mid Foundation Stage!

An ordinary flaming bat’s speed was already extremely fast, so fast that no one could react in time. However, this flaming bat King’s speed was several times faster. Although it left behind a trail of fire in its wake, it was impossible to determine its position. Perhaps it was right in front of them a moment ago, but in the next moment it was already a hundred meters away. Even the trail of fire it left behind could not catch up to such a terrifying speed.

If that was all, it would not have been so bad. The crucial thing was that this flaming bat King was extremely cautious. It would retreat immediately after each attack, and would often quickly hide back into the group of flaming bats after a single bite, making it impossible for anyone to pursue.

With Lin Yi’s reminder, the others didn’t react in time, but two people noticed the bat King’s tracks. When it attacked again, the two attacked at almost the same time-it was Leng Leng and Duanmu Yu.

In terms of strength, the two women were already top-notch existences among the cultivators of the great circle of the Foundation Stage. Dealing with this fire bat King should have been a piece of cake, but this time, the two women’s attacks actually missed. They had almost injured each other by mistake, but fortunately, they had stopped in time.

“So fast!” Leng Leng and Duanmu Yu cried out at the same time. The flaming bat King might not be considered powerful in other aspects, but its speed was truly unrivaled. Even their Zhen Qi could not catch up to it, so what could they do?

But luckily, there was still Lin Yi!

The bat King didn’t even have time to run back into the group before a blue arc of lightning struck it. Lin Yi’s other moves might not be able to do anything to it, but no matter how fast it was, how could it beat the lightning?

Lin Yi was only at Foundation Stage peak, so he couldn’t use all of his skills. The killing intent of the five elements and the lightning burial were both out of his reach, and he was happy enough to be able to use the killing intent of the five elements. He could barely use some lightning power, but not the lightning burial. He couldn’t even use the lightning explosion, and could only use a small amount of lightning.

An electric arc was not much of a threat to experts of the same level. At most, it would numb the body for a moment. However, it was just right to deal with the flaming bat King, which was comparable to a mid Foundation Stage expert.

As expected, the flaming bat King’s body trembled after being struck by the electric arc and fell on the spot. Although it did not die, it struggled on the ground for a while and seemed to be able to fly again. However, the group did not give it another chance. With a cold palm strike, the flaming bat King was frozen and died on the spot.

This was the shattering ice palm. Although it wasn’t a big move like drawing the ground as a prison or ice prison mirror shattering, it was also a unique palm technique that combined the aura of shattering ice. It was Leng Leng’s usual way of dealing with enemies.

With the death of the flaming bat King, the group of flaming bats immediately fell into chaos. Without a leader, they instinctively scattered in all directions. Just a moment ago, they had been covering the sky and the earth, but in the blink of an eye, they had all fled.

“Phew …” Everyone was panting heavily after the disaster. At least three of them had died to these bats, and many of them were injured. If Lin Yi didn’t find the bat King and kill it in time, many more of them would’ve died.

As expected of an archaic trial that only happened once every thousand years. The moment he appeared, he gave everyone a deep impression of him.

“Alright, let’s go.” Lin Yi said.

Lingshan and the others all nodded, but the other ancient Alliance disciples were scared out of their wits by the fire bats. They all hid behind Lin Yi’s group. This way, if anything happened, Lin Yi’s group would be the first to suffer, not them.

“A bunch of despicable people.” Wu Chengtian’s mouth twitched as he spoke softly. If it wasn’t for Lin Yi, these people would be dead already. Not only did they not thank him, they even hid behind him and used him as a scapegoat. It really made him speechless.

“That’s right, if we knew that Lin Yi bro wouldn’t have killed that flaming bat King, we would’ve charged out ourselves and let them have their fun with the flaming bats!” Ziyu hmphed.

“Hehe, then we’re probably done for. If we’re lucky, we might be able to directly teleport back. If we’re a little slow, we’ll end up like those three unlucky fellows and turn into minced corpses and charred meat.” Yu Bing laughed.

The others all smiled. The ancient Alliance disciples weren’t happy with Lin Yi’s words, but they knew they were in the wrong and didn’t have the face to argue. It would be troublesome if Lin Yi forced them to walk in front. They didn’t have the guts.

Not long after, the group finally walked out of the narrow and long cave. The scene in front of them suddenly brightened up, and a verdant and lush primeval forest appeared.

“Great, we’re finally out!” Everyone was overjoyed to see this. Although they knew that this once-in-a-Millennium trial ground was bound to be fraught with danger, and that there might be even more ferocious and terrifying creatures hidden inside than the flaming bats, this was human nature. There was always an innate fear of the dark and narrow cave. After experiencing the threat of the flaming bats, this fear was infinitely magnified, making them not want to stay for a moment.

“Eh, why are there three paths here?” Someone suddenly shouted.

Only now did everyone come to their senses. They looked at each other. The map that Xin Yijie had given them was extremely rough. Not only did it not indicate the cave where the Firebat swarm was, but there was only one path out of the teleportation formation. However, there were three paths in front of them, and they were all stone paths that were neither wide nor narrow. Although they were overgrown with grass, the paths were still clear.

Lin Yi felt that something wasn’t right. Normally, people would only come here once every thousand years, so why were there three man-made stone roads here? were the disciples of the Supreme ancient Immortal Realms who came here to test themselves made these roads on purpose? (To be continued.) ”
