Chapter 85: The Terrifying Demon Scorpion (Fourth Update, Seeking Recommendations and Bookmarks)

  A thousand cliffs and one dense forest edge, Ding Ning's feet stepped on the flying sword suspended in mid-air, Qin Yi stood beside him, both faces were solemn and tense.

  In front of the two, there was a gigantic scorpion with a terrifying appearance. The scorpion was over ten zhang in height and shone with a golden light all over its body. It had a thick metallic aura and its outer shell looked extremely solid.

  A pair of giant pincers, over a foot long, collided and rubbed against each other in front of their body, emitting a loud "clang" sound. On top of the massive skull, two deep blue eyes rolled around restlessly, but did not rush to attack Ding Ning and his companion.

  Behind this giant scorpion, there is a deep crack, one of its huge feet has disappeared, and several deep wounds are scattered on the side of its body, looking quite disheveled.

  "Ding Ning, are you sure we can subdue it? Although it just fought with that three-eyed demon wolf and suffered some injuries, this is a genuine Golden Core period demonic beast, its strength comparable to that of a human Condensing Dan high-ranking cultivator." At this time, Qin Yi whispered a sentence to Ding Ning.

  Upon hearing this, Ding Ning's face revealed a hint of bitterness, and he sighed: "This is also an unavoidable matter. That top-tier demonic beast from the nuclear stage was too cunning and didn't come out with us."

  "It just so happens that we stumbled upon the battle between the Qiu Yuanpeng and the Three-eyed Demon Wolf. Do you think it will let us off? Even if we don't provoke it, it will still come after us. I hope Lin Shidi's big array can take effect. Otherwise..."

  Ding Ning stopped halfway through her sentence, clearly neither of them had any confidence, but at this point it was also a helpless move, they could only rely on the number of people and the two large arrays to deal with this scorpion, otherwise, even if the two of them wanted to escape, they wouldn't be able to.

  "How come it's still not attacking? Won't it discover something?" At this time, Qin Yi frowned and said to Ding Ning.

  Upon hearing this, Ding Ning pondered for a moment, then her eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness as she controlled the flying sword under her feet to slowly retreat backwards.

  Boom!

  At the sight, Kuiyuan's two giant pincers moved in front of him, with a somewhat restless and eager appearance. His eyes sparkled as he looked around, his massive feet scraping out a metallic sound.

  Bang!

  A brown streak shot out of the giant scorpion's mouth, transforming into a black cloud that enveloped the two. As if anticipating this, Ding Ning suddenly accelerated her long sword and thrust it backwards, shooting it out.

  Kuiyuan scorpion's body shape suddenly charged forward, its speed was not inferior to Ding Ning's, and even faster than him. Just as Kuiyuan scorpion rushed to the place where Ding Ning and others had stopped before, a strange change occurred.

  A loud humming noise echoed in the air above the giant scorpion, and suddenly a flash of light appeared around it. A golden barrier emerged, and before the giant crab could react, it crashed into the edge of the barrier with a loud crash.

  Buzz!

  The golden light shield shook violently, but immediately after a flash of light, it was calm and intact. Seeing this, the giant hammer swung towards the golden light shield, striking it with great force, causing the golden light shield to tremble uncontrollably.

  At the same time, more than a dozen figures suddenly emerged from the surrounding distance, surrounding the golden light curtain. However, when everyone felt the terrifying pressure of Qiu Yuanxie's body, their faces changed immediately.

  "What? Golden, Golden Core Period Monster Beast?"

  "This, Brother Ding Ning, you're not mistaken, are you? Can we really take it on? Weren't we supposed to only deal with the nuclear phase demonic beasts?"

  A murmur ran through the crowd, it wasn't just someone shouting a sentence.

  What's there to fear? Now that he's trapped, we have the upper hand. If something unexpected happens and our formation is broken, we can just retreat immediately.

  "Are you all just going to stand there and watch a wounded, trapped Jinyu period demonic beast with injuries on its body without doing anything? That would be such a waste. If any of you want to leave, I, Ding Ning, won't stop you." As she spoke, Ding Ning glanced at the crowd.

  "Haha, since Brother Ding Ning has said so, I'll definitely accompany him. Moreover, I still have some reservations about these two arrays of mine." Lin Shixiong said with a smile, but his eyes were filled with caution.

  "Alright, we'll accompany Brother Ding Ning."

  "Right, let's go together, if we leave, we'll leave together, and if we stay, we'll stay together. Besides, in case of danger, neither of us will be forced to stay behind."

  A chorus of approval rose, the long-faced youth looked at the demon beast, and was actually somewhat excited, after all, being able to join forces to slay such a high-ranking demon beast was something that ordinary people didn't even dare to think about.

  "Alright, let's follow the original plan and get to work quickly! Don't hold back any strength." As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Ning and Qin Yu descended onto the ground. The former wielded his long sword, its light flashing, and with a swift motion, slashed towards Kuiyuan.

  Seeing this, others also released their treasures, turning into rays of light and attacking the giant demonic scorpion.

  Boom, boom, boom! A series of explosions sounded out, and except for a few heavy treasures being knocked flying by a pair of giant pincers, the rest of the treasures didn't even flinch, allowing themselves to be battered against their bodies.

  Only a few sharp swords cut out wounds as deep as a foot, but for such a huge demon scorpion, it was simply like scratching an itch, and had no effect.

  This scene also made everyone gasp in shock, the giant demonic scorpion was self-righteously bombarding the large formation, with a somewhat disdainful gaze at the surrounding crowd.

  It's no wonder that the giant scorpion has such a gaze. Even if it were a high-ranking cultivator in the Condensing Dan stage, they wouldn't dare to fight alone against a Golden Core stage demon beast. Generally, when humans and demons of the same rank fought, the demons had the upper hand due to their extremely strong defense. Unless the human had some special means.

  Rumble!

  The scorpion's body shone with a yellow aura, and the small wounds healed quickly. A pair of golden giant pincers struck fiercely at the restrictive light shield, causing the golden light shield to shake violently.

  "Not good, Brother Ding Ning. This demon beast's defense is too abnormal, we can't even hurt it. What should we do?" The long-faced youth said anxiously as he looked at the swaying array.

  Upon hearing this, Ding Ning glanced at Ye Fei and said solemnly: "Ye Fei, you and Song Gang go all out, we'll coordinate with the two of you."

  Upon hearing this, Ye Fei nodded his head, while Song Gang wielded a black iron wolf-tooth club about the size of a zhang and struck down at the demon scorpion's head.

  Immediately, a silver light flashed out, swooshing towards the giant scorpion's back, and with one look at these two attacks, the demonic scorpion's eyes flickered, no longer paying attention to other attacks.

  Two giant pincers lifted up, and with a loud crash, the powerful wolf-tooth club was shaken off and flew away. Just as everyone thought Ye Fei's silver long sword would succeed, the demon scorpion's long tail suddenly rolled up, and with another loud crash, the silver long sword was knocked to the side.

  "Lin Shidi, quickly activate the formation!" Ding Ning hastily instructed.

  Upon hearing this, the figure known as Lin Shidi nodded his head and lost the confident look he had before. His eyes were filled with a serious intent.

  The double-handed seal changed rapidly, and in an instant, it pointed to the center of the restrictive light screen. With a humming sound, a white whirlwind swept up inside the light screen, and five thick beams of light shot out from the ground, each as thick as a water bucket.

  Five beams of light with different colors, the lightning arc above them rolling non-stop, towards the half-empty space below, is to strike down at the giant demonic scorpion.

  "Take action, the outcome is decided in this one move. If we fail, we'll retreat quickly, and must not linger." Ding Ning shouted decisively while controlling the treasure to attack.

  If the combined forces of the formation cannot kill or severely injure this demon scorpion, it means that everyone does not have the power to kill the scorpion. If they do not retreat quickly and continue to fight, they will surely fall.

  Rumble!

  A deafening explosion sounded, and everyone vaguely saw the demon scorpion spew out a golden light column. Immediately, the entire large array turned into a colorful and dazzling light halo, making it impossible for people to distinguish between reality and illusion, and they could only control the treasure inside to launch a chaotic attack.

  Bang!

  At this moment, the golden prohibition light shield suddenly burst open after a severe distortion, and everyone's face changed color, their bodies slowly retreating, but they didn't see whether the demon scorpion was dead or alive, nor did it escape.

  Everyone's face was solemn, and they didn't even dare to breathe heavily, carefully staring at the center of the light halo, waiting for the result.

  In an instant, just as the light was dissipating from the center, suddenly another explosion of countless golden lights burst forth, emitting terrifying and suffocating waves that made one's magical powers falter.

  As the golden light spread rapidly, it instantly enveloped everyone, forcing them to close their eyes. Even their divine sense was affected by the chaotic fluctuations, making it impossible for them to discern reality from illusion.

  "Ah, Brother Shifu save me!"

  "Save me......" A shrill and mournful cry echoed out!

  "Not good, let's retreat quickly." Just then, the crowd heard Ding Ning's urgent shout, and without waiting for her orders, these people began to scatter in all directions, escaping from the place where Jin Xia was shrouded and fleeing towards their pre-arranged destination.

  At this moment when life is at stake, let alone fellow disciples, even if they were biological brothers, they may not necessarily risk their lives to save each other. Just like that, they ignored the shouts of others and stepped on flying artifacts one by one, fleeing quickly.

  Ye Fei stood on the flight artifact, looking around to his left and right, and couldn't help but furrow his brow. Originally more than ten people had set out together, but now only a handful had managed to escape, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart.

  "Huh?"

  At this moment, Ye Fei suddenly twitched the corner of his eye and did not see Li Rou's figure. Just as Ye Fei was puzzled, he suddenly heard Yue Hua say with a sob: "Ding Ning Shixiong, Li Rou Shi Mei was seriously injured, she didn't die, I want to go save..."

  The words had not been spoken yet, Yuehua was knocked unconscious by Dingning's palm. Dingning's face darkened and she sighed, then without hesitation, she carried Yuehua away into the distance. The crowd also showed a helpless expression.

  Ye Fei's face struggled for a moment, then his eyebrows suddenly rose, as if he had made some kind of decision. He turned around and flew towards the direction of Kuiyuan Cave. (End of chapter)

Anyway, the male lead under BadBad's pen is not that ruthless, he is a person with emotions and righteousness, with flesh and blood, he will cry, he will laugh, there are ups and downs, but after falling down, he will get up again. BadBad doesn't like those selfish and self-serving people who only care about their own interests and don't take risks, whether in the world of immortals or in modern society, where there are heartless people, there is no lack of those who value emotions and righteousness, because BadBad doesn't want to make the world too cold.)
