"This …" Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air at the sight before them.
Everyone knew Dugu Ni's strength. His full-powered strike was actually swallowed by the sea of fire in front of him. This was too strange!
"Kekeke …" Right at this moment, the sea of fire spread rapidly. The ear-piercing sound seemed to be right beside their ears, making them feel uneasy.
"It's the Fierywing Vampire Bats!" Nie Tian was still relatively calm. Starlight flashed in his eyes as he finally saw the true face of that 'sea of fire'. It was actually formed by countless Fierywing Vampire Bats.
Fierywing Vampire Bats, one of the Ten Great Savage Beasts of the Heaven Realm!
Fierywing Vampire Bats were even more terrifying than the Earth Monitor Lizard. Although they were only a few meters in size and were not as big as low-tier spirit beasts, they always appeared in tens of thousands. Moreover, their bodies were extremely tough, even stronger than ordinary Ninth Level Heavenly Emperors.
With so many Fire-Winged Blood Bats gathered together, even an all-out attack from a powerhouse like Dugu Ni couldn't hurt them.
"Fierywing Vampire Bats!" Everyone was stunned, and their hearts trembled. "Why would they appear here?"
Tian Gong and the rest had also come to Purgatory Mountain before, but they had never heard of Fierywing Vampire Bats appearing here.
"They must have come with the demonic fire." Nie Tian said loudly, "Everyone, be careful. Don't let the Fierywing Vampire Bats break the formation."
Although the seven of them were very strong, if they were broken up by the Fierywing Vampire Bats, even peak powerhouses would find it hard to resist.
Everyone's hearts trembled, and they all became nervous. Nie Tian and the other four stood at the outermost, surrounding Zuo Qianchen and Tian Gong. Their auras rose at the same time, fusing into a visible energy barrier.
The combined auras of five peak powerhouses were enough to kill other peak powerhouses in an instant!
"Watch out!" At this moment, the Fierywing Vampire Bats charged over. Nie Tian shouted, and his aura rose again, releasing a terrifying sword aura.
At this moment, Nie Tian could clearly see the appearance of the Fiery-Winged Vampire Bat. Its body was three to four meters long, and its black, fleshy wings were burning with terrifying flames. There was a scarlet ball of fire in its throat, which was extremely frightening.
"Rumble!" In the next moment, the sea of fire formed by the Flamewing Blood Bats charged over. Terrifying rumbling sounds rang out in the air as waves of fiery power smashed against the barrier formed by the five of them.
Fortunately, Nie Tian and the other four were all at the Peak Realm. Even if they had to face the attack of the Flamewing Blood Bats head-on, they could still withstand it.
However, after these Flaming Vampire Bats charged over, they had no intention of leaving. Instead, they surrounded Nie Tian and the others, spitting out waves of fire from their mouths as they attacked the Yuan Qi barrier.
"Oh no!" Nie Tian suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "The Flaming Vampire Bats are targeting us. They won't leave until they kill us."
He had thought that these Flaming Vampire Bats would leave after charging over, but he did not expect them to surround them and attack them non-stop.
"These Flaming Blood Bats seem to be under someone's control. They are very violent, and the Yuan Qi barrier won't last much longer. We have to get rid of these Blood Bats!" Baili Fengchen could see that the Flaming Vampire Bats' eyes were scarlet red, and they were in a berserk state. It was clear that they were being controlled.
The Yuan Qi barrier could still resist the attacks of the Flaming Vampire Bats, but as time passed, Nie Tian and the others' Yuan Qi would be exhausted, and they would be dead.
"Who is so terrifying that they can control so many Flaming Vampire Bats?" Chen Xinwen roared angrily. He clearly felt that something was wrong.
"The First Nightmare!" Baili Fengchen was stunned, and he blurted out a name.
Even Baili Fengchen himself could not control so many Flaming Vampire Bats at the same time.
If there was someone with such powerful control ability, it would be the fourth Devil Fire, the First Nightmare.
The First Nightmare could devour the consciousness and soul of martial artists, and it could also control martial artists. These Flaming Vampire Bats were definitely under the First Nightmare's control, which was why they were so violent.
"Those Devil Fires know that we are coming!" Baili Fengchen understood everything, and his voice trembled a bit.
It seemed like the Devil Fires of Purgatory Mountain already knew that human martial artists were coming, so they sent the Flaming Vampire Bats out first.
"Kill them all!" Dugu Ni did not think too much. He roared angrily, and a terrifying sword aura was released from his body. It soared into the sky, and a sharp and austere aura spread out. Miserable screams came from the space.
Even the Flaming Vampire Bats could not resist Dugu Ni's sword intent at such a close distance.
Seeing this, a black heavy sword appeared in Ghost Scar's hand. It was his Yuan Spirit Sword, Ghost Night Rain!
"Boom!" Ghost Scar slashed out, and the Ghost Night Sword Intent was like a blade of the night, violently rushing out. Under the black sword shadow, countless Flaming Vampire Bats were directly smashed into pieces.
Nie Tian frowned, and the Absolute Heaven Slash appeared in his hand. The power of the emperor's light combined with the terrifying sword intent was released. The soaring sword intent rushed out like a wild beast, tearing apart countless Flaming Vampire Bats.
Baili Fengchen and Chen Xinwen also made their moves at this time, each killing countless Flaming Vampire Bats.
The five of them were at the peak of their strength, so it was not too difficult for them to deal with these Flaming Vampire Bats.
However, if they killed all the Flaming Vampire Bats, the five of them would most likely use up their Yuan Qi.
Before they even saw the demonic fire, their Yuan Qi had already been used up. This was not a good thing.
"Boom!" At this time, in the depths of Purgatory Mountain, a terrifying ball of flame suddenly rose. It soared into the sky, condensing into a terrifying flaming ghost face in midair. It was extremely frightening.
Almost at the same time, the Flaming Vampire Bats seemed to have been summoned. They actually directly gave up on Nie Tian and the others, flapping their wings and flying towards the flaming ghost face in the sky.
In just a blink of an eye, all the Flaming Vampire Bats disappeared like the wind, leaving behind countless Flaming Vampire Bats' corpses on the ground. It was a bloody and miserable scene.
"What happened?" The Flaming Vampire Bats suddenly left, and everyone's face was filled with confusion. They did not know what happened.
"It should be the First Nightmare sending some kind of message to the Flaming Vampire Bats, so they left." Baili Fengchen frowned, his face full of shock.
He had heard before that the First Nightmare was extremely terrifying, able to evoke the greatest fear in people's hearts. However, he did not expect the First Nightmare's control ability to be so strong.
"Lord Illusion Emperor, are you saying that the flaming ghost face in the sky is the First Nightmare?" Nie Tian frowned, calmed down, and asked with a deep voice.
"Yes." Baili Fengchen nodded. He looked at the flaming ghost face in the sky and said, "I can sense the First Nightmare's aura, it is definitely true."
"This …" Everyone looked at Baili Fengchen, and all of them sucked in a breath of cold air.
This trip to Purgatory Mountain was even more difficult than they had imagined.
Just a single First Nightmare had already made them flustered. If other demonic fires appeared, what would the consequences be?
The strangest thing was, why did so many demonic fires gather in Purgatory Mountain?
"Everyone, are we still going to continue forward?" When Heavenly Worker saw everyone's reaction, he couldn't help but ask.
"Of course we are going to continue forward. Since we have already come here, how could we just leave like this?" Dugu Ni chuckled, his expression actually sinister.
