Peacock Plume!

The Seven-Headed Blood Bat King was enormous.

However, with every flap of its massive wings, blood bats would ignite along the edges, allowing it to escape at incredible speed!

Even with Tushan Lingling giving chase at full speed, the distance between them only grew...

Remembering her Master's orders, Tushan Lingling grew increasingly anxious.

Unfortunately, the Soul Skills from her last three Soul Rings were all offensive, with none to boost her speed.

If she continued like this, the target would inevitably escape!

With this thought, Tushan Lingling, though reluctant, took out the fan-shaped hidden weapon Lin Ziyi had given her – the Peacock Plume!

This item, wielded by her, a Level 96 Super Douluo.

Even an opponent at Level 98 would at least be severely wounded if struck!

Used against Bloody Mary, a Level 95, a hit would absolutely guarantee her death!

As Soul Power flowed into it, the Peacock Plume unfurled completely, like a peacock displaying its plumage!

Its ornate metal surface shimmered with a myriad of colors, emitting a Soul Power fluctuation that made even Tushan Lingling's heart tremble!

Aiming the tip of the fan's ribs at the Seven-Headed Blood Bat King's body, Tushan Lingling slammed her fist, which had gathered Soul Power, into the base of the Peacock Plume!

This peerless hidden weapon immediately shot towards the target at a speed far exceeding the Seven-Headed Blood Bat King's!

Once within the Peacock Plume's effective range, Tushan Lingling clenched her fist fiercely.

The three hundred and sixty poisonous needles, controlled and guided by Soul Power, struck the Seven-Headed Blood Bat King's body at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye!

Due to its immense size, the Seven-Headed Blood Bat King had no way to evade!

Coupled with the cover of night and the inherent stealth of hidden weapons, the Peacock Plume's power was fully unleashed!

As the three hundred and sixty poisonous needles hit the Seven-Headed Blood Bat King.

Bloody Mary, within it, felt her Soul Power rapidly melting away like ice and snow under a scorching flame!

An indescribable, extreme fear surged within her!

Bloody Mary never expected these seemingly unremarkable poisonous needles to possess such terrifying power!

Aside from the sheer force that pierced the Seven-Headed Blood Bat King's body, the most terrifying aspect was the potent toxin injected into her!

With her physique, having been cleansed by "Yellow Springs Dew" for many years, few toxins in this world could affect her!

Yet, the pain surging within her and the rapidly diminishing Soul Power at this moment both indicated that the toxin in the needles had taken effect!

She, one of the three great Bat Generals of Slaughter City, was poisoned! How utterly laughable!

The Seven-Headed Blood Bat King in the sky soon disintegrated, and Bloody Mary's increasingly weakened body was revealed!

Just as she desperately tried to mobilize her remaining Soul Power to suppress the toxin, a ghostly voice suddenly echoed from behind her:

"It's over."

As soon as the words fell, Bloody Mary felt a hand grip the back of her head.

Before she could utter a sound, there was a "bang" of an explosion!

Bloody Mary's head instantly burst like a watermelon, spraying countless yellow and white fragments across the sky!

Without the boost of Soul Power, Bloody Mary's previous abilities, such as immortality and regeneration, naturally lost their effect.

However, her body, apart from her head, transformed into countless blood-red bats that scattered in all directions.

But Tushan Lingling captured them one by one with her milky white Soul Power, crushing them into powder!

Tushan Lingling scanned her surroundings, and only after confirming that Bloody Mary's aura had completely vanished did she finally show a satisfied smile.

She turned around and made a "V" sign at the air:

"Husband Brother~ Lingling has successfully completed your mission!"

Misty Auction House.

Lin Ziyi looked at the happy little fox with a wry smile, shaking his head:

"Despite her formidable strength, her combat experience is still insufficient... System, return me to Lingling's side."

As black mist enveloped his body, Lin Ziyi quickly appeared before Tushan Lingling.

Tushan Lingling immediately wrapped her Soul Power around the young man's body, allowing him to float steadily in the air.

Tushan Lingling looked at her Master with a face full of expectation for praise, her two delicate ears twitching eagerly.

Lin Ziyi reached out and gently rubbed Tushan Lingling's head. When his palm touched her soft ears, Tushan Lingling's face blushed slightly.

However, Lin Ziyi did not praise her as she had expected. Instead, he reached out and rubbed the spot on her forehead where the residual bloodstains had been:

"You silly girl, did you really think you completed the mission?"

Tushan Lingling's expression changed, and she quickly looked around in confusion, but still couldn't find any trace of Bloody Mary:

"Lingling... didn't complete the mission?"

Lin Ziyi smiled and shook his head.

"From your perspective, you might not have seen it, but before the Peacock Plume hit the target, a small bat silently left the larger bat.

"If I'm not mistaken, she sensed the danger in advance!

"Out of caution, she released one of her clones ahead of time."

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. "That's not necessarily true. A blessing in disguise, isn't it?"

As he spoke, Lin Ziyi pointed to the basin area at his feet.

"I saw the small bat flying downwards on the display screen of the Misty Auction House.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be hiding there. I have my uses for it once I drag it out."

Upon hearing this, Tushan Lingling brought Lin Ziyi down to the ground, and invisible Soul Power quickly spread outwards!

Not long after, Tushan Lingling narrowed her eyes and grabbed at the empty space behind her to the right!

A "squeaking" sound was heard, and a blood-red bat was indeed grabbed back by Tushan Lingling.

When this blood-red bat, about the size of a human head, was enveloped by milky white Soul Power and brought before Lin Ziyi.

The bat suddenly let out Bloody Mary's panicked and sharp voice.

"You, how did you find me?"

Lin Ziyi sneered.

"I said you wouldn't leave alive, and you won't leave alive.

"Of course, if you hadn't left, I might have considered letting you live a little longer..."

As he said this, Lin Ziyi turned to Tushan Lingling and asked, "In her current state, she shouldn't have the strength of a Titled Douluo, right?"

Tushan Lingling hummed in agreement. "She has lost her main body, and although she has avoided being corroded by the poison.

"But to recover her peak state without a special opportunity or sufficient powerful energy is almost impossible.

"She only has the strength of a Soul Fighting Douluo now."

Hearing this, the smile on Lin Ziyi's face grew even more pronounced.

He hadn't expected Bloody Mary to still have over level 80 strength after losing her main body. She truly was a subordinate of the King of Slaughter.

But that was perfect. As long as her strength was below Titled Douluo, his First Spirit Ability could take effect!

With this thought, Lin Ziyi took out his prized possession in front of Bloody Mary
