Chapter 156: The Golden Oriole from Behind (2/2)

“I do not know. Maybe she has her own plans. Also, her four bodyguards are also very powerful. They have already condensed out their Soulflames. Their bodies are like blade energy condensed into tangibility. This is unquestionably the highest realm of cultivation. Brother Chen, are you certain you want to make a move? You will have to properly reconsider. This woman is not easy to deal with,” said Xiao Yin with a smile.

“Ha ha, this woman deceived us to come here and just cast us aside. Let’s not even go to the 100,000 Basic Yang Pills that she owes me, I even want that poisonous stinger.” Chen Feng smiled back.

“That poisonous stinger is quite good. There is a chance of forging a Prized artefact with it. How about this, Brother Chen? I will help you acquire that poisonous stinger, but the next time we find a Prized artefact, that Prized artefact will be mine,” said Xiao Yin.

“You are quite good at calculating, aren’t you? Although the stinger is good, it is not as valuable as a Prized artefact. Still, I am somewhat interested in the demonic artefact in Mo Ji’s hand.” Chen Feng’s eyes glinted.

“That will be somewhat difficult. We’ll have to observe how the situation unfolds. Since we are in a partnership, we should first obtain the items before discussing how to split them up. Look, the big yao beast is about to fall,” said Xiao Yin excitedly.

In the face of the besieging cultivators, the violent Demon Scorpion had to constantly retreat. In the end, their attacks caused it to tumble about. By now, its tough carapace had broken and its defence was gradually falling, especially since Mo Ji was constantly attacking it from afar. The yao beast began feeling fearful.

I might actually die to these humans.

Feeling the wounds on its body and its faltering strength, the thought emerged within the yao beast’s mind.

The poison within its arsenal was almost used up, but it had not managed to kill too many people with it. As for its dexterous tail, it had slowed down somewhat. The intense siege had successfully reduced the yao beast’s combat power.

Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!

Four energy blades, condensed to the point of attaining tangibility, flashed out in quick succession before hacking down heavily upon the Demon Scorpion’s body.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Four booming sounds rang out in quick succession and four deep blade marks appeared upon the Demon Scorpion’s body. Black, ink-like blood sprayed out from the wounds.

I cannot hold on anymore. I have to escape. The Demon Scorpion began shrinking backwards.

However, would the surrounding cultivators give up? Seeing the momentum of the Demon Scorpion weakening, the cultivators’ combat power instead flourished. One after another, they howled out as they unleashed even stronger attacks at the Demon Scorpion.

Mo Xigui’s sword abruptly exploded to transform into a sky-encompassing rain of swords. When the rain of swords approached the Demon Scorpion, they all converged as one and a ray of sword light swept out to cut off one of the Demon Scorpion’s pincers.

Sou!

A flaming red stream of light drew an arc in the air, and a bloodthirsty aura spread out. The resulting atmosphere resembled that of burning blood.

Puchi! Ding!

The blood-red lance then slammed heavily into the Demon Scorpion, nailing it into the ground. Mo Ji had taken advantage of the situation to unleash her attack.

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!

The last bits of the Demon Scorpion’s poison were sprayed out to keep the surrounding cultivators away. It howled ceaselessly as it struggled with all its might. And yet, it was incapable of unravelling the force that the blood-coloured lance was exerting upon its body.

At the same time, a suction force appeared from the blood-coloured lance. The Demon Scorpion’s blood, which was flowing out, began to flow backwards and into the lance. It was absorbing the blood.

What kind of weapon is this? Feeling power flowing away from its body, the savage yao beast became extremely terrified.

As the massive Demon Scorpion was about to die to Mo Ji, Chen Feng and Xiao Yin finally took action.

Weng! Weng! Weng!

Invisible soundwaves suddenly descended from above, assuming a fan shape before spreading out. Xiao Yin had utilized the power of his Prized artefact, the Grotto Soul Flute.

The soundwaves carried neither sound nor presence with it. It also did not possess much in terms of the ability to wound anyone. Instead, they directly surged into the depths of the cultivators’ souls, casting a hypnotic effect upon them all. Even someone like Mo Ji felt her mind entering a dazed state.

“Quick, wake up!” The elderly voice exploded within Mo Ji’s mind, causing her to wake up instantly.

A blurry figure swiftly approached the Demon Scorpion. With a flash of light, the raised stinger was cut down before disappearing.

“Courting death!”

Seeing the figure’s actions, Mo Ji was instantly enraged. She and the other cultivators had fought hard against the yao beast and were about to defeat it when someone else suddenly appeared and stole their kill. For someone as haughty as Mo Ji, this was intolerable.

Mo Ji waved her hand to summon back her blood-coloured lance, only to see the figure doing something completely unexpected.

The blurry figure was none other than Chen Feng, who had swiftly dashed out from his hiding spot. As he was still under the effects of the Invisibility Talisman earlier, his figure appeared as a blur to the others.

Earlier, the Demon Scorpion had sprayed out its poison to keep the surrounding cultivators away, giving Chen Feng an excellent opportunity. Thus, Xiao Yin utilized his Prized artefact to block off the others while Chen Feng made his move. Chen Feng had instantly cut down the Demon Scorpion’s stinger with lightning-like speed.

The excited Chen Feng then did something else which nearly caused Mo Ji to explode in rage. He swiftly reached out with his hand and grabbed the blood-coloured lance that was still inserted within the Demon Scorpion’s body.
