Chapter 225: Run (2/2)

After that, Alex rolled to the side to dodge the tail.

He had been keeping an eye on the second scorpion, and when it did, he managed to dodge it quite easily. He was about to go attack the overextended tails once more, but the other scorpion came running at him.

It immediately jumped into the air, shocking Alex. When it landed, it was on top of Alex and was attacking him with its pincers. Alex jumped and rolled to the side, dodging the scorpion.

Immediately, he ran back and attacked the scorpion's tail once more. This time, it came completely off. However, at the same time, the pincers came towards Alex's torso.

Alex swiftly returned the sword back to the scorpion in a uniform motion and tried to attack its hands.

However, Alex made a mistake. He didn't think before he attacked and instead hit the pincers instead of the arms.

CRACK

A massive snap sounded out in the surroundings as Alex's sword snapped in two at the base. He didn't even manage to get a single scratch on the pincer and yet his sword was now in 2 half. There wasn't even half a sword attached at the handle he could use to fight with.

”Sh*t,” he cursed at the situation. He jumped back to dodge the next pincer that was next to him. But then, the other scorpion had made its way here too.

So he dodged once more. They were relentless in their attacks and weren't giving him much room to fight with. He desperately wanted to use the escape technique he had learned, but without Qi it was useless.

”I can't do this anymore. Running away is not the option,” he thought. It was time to properly fight back. The scorpions were already attacking him.

His Elusive Heavenly Sword's footwork was pretty good, but he couldn't use it as well in the sand. So, his dodging ability had also gone down.

So, he decided to care about the one with the tail more than the one without it. Their pincers were way slower compared to their tails so the tail was what he was worried about.

The scorpions snapped at him once again and attacked him. Alex didn't dodge. Instead, he jumped over the skeleton and landed on it. It was the one without the tail so he had no worries.

The scorpion wiggled its half tail around and tried to hit Alex, but it couldn't reach him. He started punching the back of the scorpion while constantly taunting the other one.

The other scorpion came rushing at him and tried to snip at him. Alex easily dodged the pincers and continued attacking the scorpion he was on. It was trying to wiggle itself to throw Alex from its back but it couldn't.

Alex was firmly grabbing onto its back with one hand while punching down with the second. The scorpion was now half dead.
