Chapter 86: Confronting the Devil Scorpion (Fourth Update, Seeking Recommendations and Bookmarks)

  A giant scorpion, over ten zhang in height, with wounds all over its body, looking extremely pathetic, swung its massive pincers and smashed them towards a slender figure in front of it.

  Seeing this, the slender figure's pretty face changed, controlling a red treasure to barely hold on in mid-air, looking like it was about to collapse. This giant scorpion had suffered severe injuries, its strength reduced by more than half; otherwise, destroying this weak human before its eyes would not have required any effort at all.

  However, even so, the strength of this demon is not something that the girl in front can withstand. Moreover, this girl has an injured leg and seems to be extremely inconvenient to move around.

  The most important thing is that the giant scorpion didn't give the girl a chance to be distracted at all, her mind was clear, as long as she slightly lost focus or withdrew her magic control over Hongling and let her escape, she would immediately be slapped to death.

  Like this, the girl half-knelt on the ground, her eyes looked around at the corpses in horror, revealing a strong unwillingness, and her pale face was filled with despair.

  Pffft, the girl spat out a mouthful of blood and could no longer hold on, weakly sitting down on the ground. The half-air red crystal was shaken off and flew away. Immediately after, she took a glance at the rapidly falling pincers, closed her eyes, and her body began to tremble slightly.

  Bang! A loud explosion!

  The young girl's body shook, but she felt that she hadn't been hit. Suddenly her eyes snapped open, and she saw a red glow that had knocked the scorpion back a bit. Before she could even react, a gust of wind suddenly came from behind her.

  Right after that, a pair of warm palms wrapped around him from behind, and all he saw was the person's feet flashing with white light as they rapidly retreated backwards while holding onto him.

  Everything happened too suddenly, and the girl didn't even have a chance to turn her head. At that moment when she was slightly stunned, she suddenly saw the demon scorpion let out a furious roar and charge forward.

  With a whoosh, the girl felt her body being flung far away, but in the end she landed lightly on the ground, apparently with magic power added to herself.

  At the same time, a white figure appeared in front of him, controlling a blood-red broken blade in mid-air, shooting towards one of the demon scorpion's eyes.

  "You demon girl, if you have the strength, then run quickly. I won't be able to hold it back for much longer." As soon as the familiar voice entered her ears, the girl looked at the familiar face beside her.

  At this moment, the girl suddenly became a little dazed, staring at the boy with infatuated eyes, her mouth slightly pursed, and she didn't know what she was thinking about. She even forgot what the boy had said, looking at the boy who seemed to have grown taller in front of her.

  The woman was indeed Li Rou, who had been seriously injured by the demonic centipede and hadn't managed to escape. The young man was naturally Ye Fei, who had just rushed back.

  With a "ding" sound, the demon scorpion retracted its tail, blocking the red residual blade, but left behind a deep wound, apparently not expecting that the blood-red short blade had such power.

  At this time, Li Rou seemed to have come back to her senses, hastily taking out a few bottles of medicinal pellets and swallowing them in one gulp. Immediately afterwards, she closed her eyes, and a faint, unnatural flush appeared on her face. Clearly, she had taken some medicinal pellets that temporarily increased her magical powers, but generally had severe side effects and caused no small harm to the body.

  A golden light column as thick as a wrist shot out from the Demon Scorpion's mouth, blasting towards Ye Fei. Seeing this, Ye Fei's eyes twitched and he formed a hand seal with one hand, causing the ground beneath his feet to twist and deform.

  With a whoosh, Ye Fei's figure vanished into thin air.

  At almost the same time, the light pillar struck the ground where Ye Fei had been standing earlier, blasting out a huge deep pit. Ye Fei's figure emerged from the edge of the pit, but his face was even paler than before, looking like he had suffered some injuries.

  Just as Ye Fei had just appeared, a golden sharp needle shot out and flew towards Ye Fei's head. Ye Fei was completely unguarded and didn't have time to dodge, hastily using his protective spiritual light to prepare for the incoming attack with his Gathering Spirit Finger technique.

  With a flash, a red brick suddenly appeared on Ye Fei's head, blocking the sharp stab that was coming down. At the same time, Li Rou came to Ye Fei's side with a slight limp.

  "Be careful of the sharp thorns on its tail, it was that thing that hurt me just now. Although it's not very powerful, but it's extremely fast and hard to defend against." Li Rou said with a cautious expression.

  At these words, Ye Fei nodded, but his eyes were tightly fixed on the giant scorpion, not daring to relax in the slightest.

  "How did you run over here? You go first, I'll think of a way to stall it for a bit. Don't worry, I have an escape technique that can get me out of this." Ye Fei said without looking back.

  "No way, if we're going to leave, let's go together. You came to rescue me, how can I just leave by myself? What do you take me for?" Li Rou said resolutely.

  Upon hearing this, Ye Fei felt a warmth in his heart and furrowed his brow, saying: "If we want to escape, we can't use flying artifacts at all. In mid-air, they're not agile either. If the light pillar it emits knocks our flying artifact down, we'll crash to our deaths."

  "So, you can only rely on escape techniques to flee. You don't have any special escape techniques either, so staying behind would be useless. Don't worry, at the critical moment, I'll let Xiao Qing come out and help."

  Ye Fei finished speaking and saw that Li Rou was still unmoved. Just as he was about to open his mouth again to persuade her, the demon scorpion's body moved slightly, and one of its claws swept across the ground.

  Ye Fei raised his hand and pointed to the air, a red light flashed, and the broken blade appeared on the scorpion's pincers, blocking its attack.

  At the same time, another scorpion tail came crashing down from mid-air towards the two of them. Li Rou controlled the red tassel to block it, but seemed somewhat strained.

  Whoosh!

  The scorpion's tail stretched out, and in an instant it rolled towards the two from mid-air. Ye Fei's expression changed slightly, and with a single hand gesture, he immediately pointed at the scorpion's tail in front of him.

  A strange wave of fluctuations emerged, and a wrist-thick white light column shot out from Ye Fei's fingertips, heavily striking the scorpion's tail, causing the giant scorpion's body to shake violently. After letting out a shrill cry, the scorpion's tail immediately rolled back.

  "As expected, you're badly hurt!" Ye Fei muttered to himself, grabbing one of Li Rou's arms and preparing to make a run for it in the distance.

  "Plop!"

  A golden light column shot out from the mouth of the demon scorpion, and the two men, who had been prepared, quickly dodged to one side. In this brief moment, the demon scorpion's eyes flashed blue, as if it knew that Ye Fei was a tough opponent, and decided to deal with him first. With a swift movement, one of its sharp front legs stabbed towards Ye Fei's back.

  Seeing this, Ye Fei turned around, and the protective spiritual light flashed, but it only made him slightly pause before piercing through the protective spiritual light. The sharp front foot stabbed towards Ye Fei's chest.

  At the same time, the evil wind on his head was not good, and the injured scorpion tail came again.

  "Be careful!" Li Rou, who was desperately resisting the giant pincers, suddenly flashed a brilliant light all over her body and quickly arrived at Ye Fei's side, holding up a small shield to protect herself.

  With a loud muffled sound, Ye Fei only saw Li Rou's figure, like a kite with a broken string, being slapped by the scorpion tail and flew away, actually blocking this terrifying blow for Ye Fei.

  "Seductress!"

  With a flick of his finger, Ye Fei's Gathering Spirit Finger blocked the front paw, and then with a twist of the ground, his figure disappeared, leaving all attacks to fall empty.

  At the same time, Ye Fei's figure appeared beside Li Rou again. Seeing the bloodstains at the corner of her mouth, his heart moved slightly, and he said softly: "Demon girl, how are you?"

  "You, hurry up and escape, don't worry about me anymore, thank you, Ye! Cough cough." Before she could finish speaking, Li Rou was overcome with a severe bout of coughing, her face even paler.

  At this moment, Ye Fei couldn't bear to leave Lei Rou behind, after all, she had been injured while blocking the scorpion's tail for him.

  Just as Ye Fei was about to let go of Xiao Qing and have her take Li Rou away first, he suddenly felt something pierce into his back, causing his entire body's spiritual energy to stagnate, and with a wave of dizziness, he collapsed onto the ground.

  Just before losing consciousness, she saw Li Rou's face filled with terror as she stared at something behind Ye Fei, and then she lost all sense of awareness and fainted. (End of chapter)
