Although the Seven-Headed Blood Bat King was enormous,
every flap of its two great wings set blood bats ablaze along their edges, making its escape astonishingly fast!
Even with Tushan Lingling pursuing at full speed, the distance between them continued to grow...
Thinking of her master's orders, Tushan Lingling gradually grew anxious.
However, the abilities of her last three spirit rings were all offensive and did not enhance her speed.
If this chase continued, the enemy would escape sooner or later!
With that thought, although reluctant, Tushan Lingling took out the fan-shaped hidden weapon Lin Ziyi had given her before—the Peacock Plume!
Wielded by a level ninety-six Super Douluo like her,
even a level ninety-eight opponent would at least be seriously injured if struck!
Against Bloody Mary, who was only level ninety-five, as long as it hit, it would be a certain kill!
As Soul Power flowed into it, the Peacock Plume immediately spread open completely like a peacock displaying its tail!
Brilliant multicolored radiance emerged across its ornate metallic surface, while a Soul Power fluctuation so terrifying that even Tushan Lingling felt palpitations radiated from it!
Once the tip of the fan frame was aimed at the Seven-Headed Blood Bat King's body, Tushan Lingling gathered Soul Power into her fist and slammed it fiercely against the end of the Peacock Plume!
This Peerless Hidden Weapon shot toward its target at a speed far beyond that of the Seven-Headed Blood Bat King!
After it entered the Peacock Plume's effective range, Tushan Lingling suddenly clenched her fist.
The three hundred and sixty poison needles, restrained and guided by Soul Power, all struck the Seven-Headed Blood Bat King's body at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow!
Its body was simply too huge. The Seven-Headed Blood Bat King had nowhere to dodge!
Coupled with the cover of night and the inherent concealment of hidden weapons, the Peacock Plume's power was brought fully into play!
As the three hundred and sixty poison needles struck the Seven-Headed Blood Bat King,
Bloody Mary within it immediately felt her Soul Power melt away like ice and snow roasted by flames!
An indescribable, absolute terror rose in her heart!
Bloody Mary had never imagined that these seemingly insignificant poison needles possessed such horrifying power!
Beyond the fierce force that pierced through the Seven-Headed Blood Bat King's body, the most terrifying thing was the dreadful poison injected into her body!
Having been tempered by Yellow Springs Dew for years, her physique was one that few poisons in this world could affect!
Yet the pain spreading through her body and her rapidly vanishing Soul Power both proved that the poison in those needles had taken effect!
She, one of Slaughter City's three great Bat Generals, had actually been poisoned! It was utterly ridiculous!
The Seven-Headed Blood Bat King in the sky soon collapsed completely, revealing Bloody Mary's increasingly weakened body!
Just as she desperately mobilized her remaining Soul Power to suppress the poison, a ghostly voice suddenly sounded behind her:
"It's over."
The moment the words fell, Bloody Mary suddenly felt a hand grip the back of her head from behind.
Before she could make a sound, there was a bang!
Bloody Mary's head instantly burst apart like a watermelon, countless yellow and white bits scattering through the sky!
Without Soul Power sustaining her, Bloody Mary's previous Immortal Body-like and regenerative abilities naturally lost their effect as well.
However, the rest of her body, apart from her head, still transformed into countless crimson bats and fled in every direction.
Yet Tushan Lingling's milky-white Soul Power captured them one by one, crushing them directly into dust!
Tushan Lingling swept her gaze across the surroundings. Only after confirming that Bloody Mary's aura had vanished completely did she finally reveal a satisfied smile.
She turned around and made a V-sign at the empty air:
"Hubby~ Lingling successfully completed your mission!"
Misty Auction House.
Looking at the delighted Little Fox, Lin Ziyi shook his head with a wry smile:
"Your strength is formidable, but your combat experience is still lacking... System, return me to Lingling's side."
As black mist enveloped his body, Lin Ziyi soon appeared before Tushan Lingling.
Tushan Lingling immediately wrapped the young man's body in Soul Power, allowing him to float steadily in the air.
Tushan Lingling looked at her master with an expression begging for praise, her two delicate ears twitching expectantly twice.
Lin Ziyi reached out and rubbed Tushan Lingling's head. When his palm brushed her soft ears, her little face immediately reddened further.
However, instead of praising her as she had expected, Lin Ziyi reached out and rubbed the spot between her brows, where no bloodstains remained:
"You silly girl, do you really think you've completed the mission?"
Tushan Lingling's expression changed. She hastily looked around in confusion, but still could not find even the slightest trace of Bloody Mary's aura:
"Lingling d-didn't complete the mission?"
Lin Ziyi smiled and shook his head:
"Perhaps you didn't see it from your angle, but before the Peacock Plume hit her, a small bat silently left the large bat.
"If I'm not mistaken, she had already sensed the danger in advance!
"Out of caution, she sent one of her clones away beforehand."
Hearing this, Tushan Lingling showed a look of realization, then lowered her head apologetically:
"I'm sorry, Master. Lingling was careless..."
Lin Ziyi smiled and shook his head. "Not necessarily. A blessing in disguise, perhaps?"
As he spoke, Lin Ziyi pointed toward the basin below them:
"I saw that little bat fly down there through the display screen at the Misty Auction House.
"Unless something unexpected happened, it should be hiding within. Drag it out. I have a use for it."
At those words, Tushan Lingling brought Lin Ziyi down to the ground, and invisible Soul Power swiftly rippled outward around them!
Before long, Tushan Lingling narrowed her eyes and grabbed at the empty space behind and to her right!
With a series of squeaks, a crimson bat was indeed dragged back by Tushan Lingling.
When the head-sized crimson bat, wrapped in milky-white Soul Power, was brought before Lin Ziyi,
it suddenly let out Bloody Mary's panicked, shrill voice:
"How... how did you find me?"
Lin Ziyi sneered:
"I said I wouldn't let you leave alive, so I definitely won't let you leave alive.
"Of course, if you don't leave, I can consider letting you live a little longer..."
At that, Lin Ziyi turned to Tushan Lingling and asked:
"In her current state, she shouldn't still have the strength of a Titled Douluo, right?"
Tushan Lingling gave a soft hum:
"Having lost her main body, she avoided being eroded by the poison.
"But without a special opportunity or sufficiently powerful energy, it is nearly impossible for her to recover her peak state.
"She only has the strength of a Soul Douluo now."
Hearing this, the smile on Lin Ziyi's face deepened.
He had not expected Bloody Mary to retain strength above level eighty even after losing her main body. She truly was worthy of being the King of Slaughter's subordinate.
But that was perfect. As long as her strength was below that of a Titled Douluo, his First Spirit Ability could take effect!
With that thought, Lin Ziyi took out his big treasure right in front of Bloody Mary...
