Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Gu Jingman had sensed the colony of vampire bats as soon as she entered the Red Stone Forest. To her surprise, she discovered that not only could she communicate with these vampire bats, but she could also order them unconditionally. She was like their queen. Any orders that she gave were obeyed without objection.

No matter how powerful she was, it was impossible for her to collect 300,000 points on her own. However, with the help of these obedient vampire bats, the outcome would be different.

She didn’t even need to kill those criminals herself. With a simple order, there would be a countless army of bats ready to kill for her.

The might of an army of ten million bats was terrifying. The large mountain stronghold, which had been lively and bustling with noise just seven minutes ago, had fallen into a dead silence now. A thick stench of blood filled the air.

Gu Jingman was not a benevolent person. The criminals here were all sly and had committed numerous sins. She would be irresponsible if she took pity on them.

A streak of light shot up from the mountain stronghold, killing many vampire bats and penetrating through the densely packed army of the creatures. Then, a figure flew up into the air and escaped quickly. For someone to be able to fly in the Heart of the Red Stone Forest, even just for a short while, one could imagine how powerful the person’s cultivation was. The person must at least be a third realm Martial Arts Grandmaster.

“Are you still thinking of escaping? You are biting off more than you can chew.”

Gu Jingman laughed coldly and sent out a message telepathically. The Vampire Bat King beneath her feet immediately spread its wings and appeared in the air, stirring up a gale. The next moment, the Bat King transformed into a streak of light and instantly blocked the path of the escaping criminal. Its speed was unbelievable.

Gasp!

The criminal drew in a cold breath, stopping instantly. When he stared at the gigantic shadow above his head, which blocked off even the sunlight, fear uncontrollably welled up in his heart.

The might of the Bat King could only be understood by those who lived in the Heart of the Red Stone Forest. An ordinary third realm Martial Arts Grandmaster would most likely be torn into pieces by it in a single move.

Everyone who lived in the Heart of the Red Stone Forest knew that the Bloodthirsty Bat King was one of the most terrifying creatures in the Red Stone Forest. Not only was it powerful, but it also controlled the army of vampire bats. The bat army was capable of exterminating all things in the Heart of the Red Stone Forest.

“How is it possible for you to control the Bloodthirsty Bat King? How is this possible?!”

The criminal who had escaped from the mountain stronghold stared at the elegant figure who was standing on the Bloodthirsty Bat King in disbelief. She was merely an ancient martial art practitioner. How could she control the terrifying Bloodthirsty Bat King?!

“Why don’t you take a guess?” The corner of Gu Jingman’s mouth curled to form an enchanting smile. She did not just control the Bloodthirsty Bat King; she controlled the entire vampire bat clan. She could even issue an order and cause all the vampire bats to betray the Bloodthirsty Bat King.

“You’re not a contestant! You are someone who has been purposely sent here by the Huatian Palace to kill me.”

The criminal suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility. It was impossible for ordinary contestants to control the Bloodthirsty Bat King. Even if she could, it was impossible for the Huatian Palace to allow her to carry out a massacre here. Could it be that the Huatian Palace was ready to conduct a great purge again?

A great purge was a rather terrifying matter for the criminals in the Red Stone Forest. The Huatian Palace had conducted a few great purges on the criminals in the Red Stone Forest in the past. Could it be that a great purge was coming once again?

“Your imagination is quite wild. Sadly you are not an author, but a criminal,” Gu Jingman sneered. The Huatian Palace hired her to purge the criminals? Only he would come up with such an idea.

However, she was puzzled too. What she was doing now could obviously be considered cheating. The Huatian Palace had not interfered with it. Could it be they had silently consented to her acting in such a way in the Red Stone Forest?

“Depending on the army of bats is not real power. If you are really capable, fight me personally. I guarantee that I can behead you in three moves,” the criminal said angrily. He was the leader of the mountain stronghold and a third realm Martial Arts Grandmaster. He was considered a respectable figure in the Heart of the Red Stone Forest, yet he had actually been forced into a hopeless situation by a woman. He was reluctant to accept this.

If she did not have the army of bats, a woman like Gu Jingman would most likely not be able to withstand even three moves from him.

“You are rather confident. Since you asked, I will play with you for a bit. Do you think a third realm Martial Arts Grandmaster is terrific?” Gu Jingman sneered. Her crimson-sea-like gaze looked down on everything. It was not a demeanor that she faked. Instead, it was a temperament that had merged with her inner being.

“You dare to fight me?” The criminal’s eyelid twitched and his heart was filled with joy. However, he tried hard to suppress his emotions. This woman was actually giving up her greatest advantage and wanted to fight him personally. If he could kill her during the fight, he might have a chance of surviving.

Gu Jingman smiled and said nothing more. Step by step, she walked out of the area where the Bloodthirsty Bat King was; however, she did not fall from the sky. Instead, she stood quietly in the air.

A glint of surprise flashed past the criminal’s eyes. However, he calmed down in an instant. Even though it was incredible for Gu Jingman to be able to stand in the air, he could do it too for just a brief moment. Her act only proved that her cultivation was not low. It was at least of the Martial Arts Grandmaster second realm.

The Bloodthirsty Bat King’s golden eyes glanced at the criminal coldly. Then, spreading its wings, it flew higher and encircled the surrounding space with its gigantic wings. The densely packed vampire bats gathered too, covering every inch around them. The bats formed a gigantic sphere with Gu Jingman as its center, sealing off the surrounding space.

Not even a single ray of light could penetrate through the sphere and it was pitch black inside. Commoners could not even see their own fingers, but it posed no hindrance to ancient martial art practitioners like Gu Jingman and the criminal.

The criminal’s facial expression turned ugly. The Bloodthirsty Bat King formed an envelopment with its wing and the army of vampire bats sealed the space. Even if he defeated this woman, he would most likely not be able to escape alive.

“Do you think that you can hide your thoughts from me?” Gu Jingman said plainly. She was not someone who would be fooled easily. Her agreeing to fight him personally was not because she had fallen victim to his goading. Instead, she wanted to let him know that she, Gu Jingman did not need to depend on this army of bats.

“You don’t even plan to give me the chance of survival?” The criminal took a deep breath and stared at Gu Jingman with an exceptionally cold gaze.

“A chance of survival? Alright, I will give you a chance to survive, but it depends on whether you are capable of fighting for it. Three moves,” Gu Jingman said lazily while extending three fair and slender fingers.

“Defeat you in three moves?” The criminal’s pupils contracted and his facial expression turned serious. Clearly, this woman had rather high cultivation. He did not have much confidence in whether he could defeat an opponent when he had no idea what her cultivation was. However, this was his only chance of survival. Since things had come to such, he had no choice.

“You are overthinking it. My condition is this: if you are not dead after three moves, I will let you go,” Gu Jingman scoffed. This person was interesting. She had not seen someone with as much confidence as him.

“Not dead after three moves!”

The criminal’s face twitched. He had never imagined that this would be the condition. Even though he was not at the top tier in this Heart of the Red Stone Forest, he had gained some fame over the years. He had never met anyone who dared to say that they could finish him in three moves.

“Then let’s cut the talk. Come at me. I want to see whether you can really kill me in three moves.”

He was so angry that he laughed. Other than the legendary immortals, those third realm Martial Arts Grandmasters who dared to say that they would kill him within three moves were definitely rare. He had a lot of combat experience and he had practiced a terrifying martial arts teaching. He did not believe that this woman could kill him in three moves for a moment.

Gu Jingman smiled and said nothing more. A brilliant crimson light appeared in her hand, coagulating slowly to form a quaint crimson sword. The next moment, her figure had disappeared from its original spot.

When she appeared again, she was three meters behind the criminal, with her back facing his back. She did not turn her head. However, blood was dripping down from the crimson sword in her hand.

The person stood on his original spot, and his body stiffened. He was still maintaining his previous pose, and his gaze was filled with terror, disbelief, and a deep reluctance.

Fast! It was too fast!

It was so fast that he did not have time to react at all. If he had known that her speed was so terrifying, he would definitely not have been so careless.

Unfortunately, no one could turn back time in this world.

“Whatever!”

The criminal shut his eyes and sighed softly. A blood streak appeared on his body starting from between his brows. Then, it extended all the way to the bottom of his feet, cleaving his body in half. He fell from the sky.

He knew that the terror of this woman had far exceeded his imagination. Even if he knew beforehand that she had such terrifying speed, he would most likely only have been able to defend himself against her first attack. He would still die at her hands during the second and third moves.

“Dead after the first move. That’s all you’ve got.” Gu Jingman shook her head slightly.

This criminal was most likely weaker than those slightly impressive geniuses among the contestants. She had seen a few extraordinary youths who were far more powerful than this person.

“Hunting and killing these criminals is boring. It’s time for me to head to Mechanized Maze City. Rumor has it that it is a mysterious and interesting place. Mo Wen is most likely making his way there too. I wonder whether he can get first place in the Heaven List. If he can’t, first place will no doubt be mine.”

...

Regardless of how exciting the outside world was, Mo Wen did not know and he didn’t care. Right now, he was hiding in the tree hole and focusing on his treatment.

Luckily, he was a physician. Furthermore, the Celestial Scripture: Sun and Moon. which he was practicing, was very useful in allowing him to treat his wounds. In just two hours, his injuries were almost healed.

Mo Wen slowly opened his eyes, ending his seclusion. His aura reached the pinnacle once again. He glanced around. The sky outside was most likely dark now. “Something’s off!”

Mo Wen furrowed his brows. Suddenly, he noticed that many auras had appeared around the tree hole. Those auras were surrounding his location, and they were increasing in number.

Clearly, many people had encircled him.

“I have actually been discovered. This is strange. How did they discover me?”

A glint of puzzlement flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. He was very confident in his concealment technique. It was definitely not an easy feat for others to discover him.

There are indeed many capable men in this Heart of the Red Stone Forest.

Mo Wen felt a sense of regret in his heart. Since he had been discovered, he did not need to hide anymore. His aura suddenly exploded, blasting the tree hole apart. At the same time, he came out of it.
