Death Grip
Meng Xiner moved her delicate body and instantly retreated, then suddenly struck with her sword towards the blood-red eyes of the Venomous Giant Scorpion.
The Venomous Giant Scorpion seemed to sense the threat, raising one of its massive pincers to shield its eyes.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Meng Xiner's sword struck against the Venomous Giant Scorpion's pincer, producing a sound of metal clashing, but this blow caused no damage to the Venomous Giant Scorpion.
"Damn it!" Xing Chen, who was pinned down by one of the Venomous Giant Scorpion's pincers, cursed inwardly. He continued to push against the immense pressure of the pincer with his right hand while his left hand formed two fingers together, surrounded by a faint starlight.
At this moment, Xing Chen realized that with their combined strength, it was nearly impossible for him and Meng Xiner to kill the Venomous Giant Scorpion. However, if they could find a way to blind its eyes, they would have a chance to escape. Although the Venomous Giant Scorpion was incredibly powerful, its Soul Power was particularly weak. If it lost its eyes, it would definitely be unable to stop their escape.
"Shattering Star Finger!"
At this moment, Xing Chen strained to use the Earth-Level Advanced Martial Technique Shattering Star Finger, simultaneously employing two major Earth-Level Advanced Martial Techniques. More than half of his Vital Energy was instantly consumed, indicating that activating two Earth-Level Advanced Martial Techniques required an extraordinary amount of energy.
With a glint in his eyes, Xing Chen thrust his two fingers through the gap between the Venomous Giant Scorpion's pincers towards its eyes.
The fingers formed from condensed starlight struck the blood-red eyes of the Venomous Giant Scorpion in an instant.
"Roar..." The intense pain caused the Venomous Giant Scorpion to emit a low growl. It went into a frenzy; one of its eyes had been blinded by the tiny creature before it, which was an absolute humiliation for the Venomous Giant Scorpion.
The giant pincers of the Venomous Giant Scorpion swung wildly, destroying large areas of trees around it and shaking the ground beneath. Taking advantage of the moment when the Venomous Giant Scorpion had just roared and retracted its pincers, Xing Chen quickly retreated.
"This Rascal has gone mad; we need to get out of here." Xing Chen, pale-faced, glanced at Meng Xiner and urged her.
They had deeply realized the power of the Venomous Giant Scorpion. Without strength at the level of Soul Realm Pinnacle, breaking through its defensive exterior was nearly impossible. Therefore, Xing Chen felt no sense of luck and quickly fled while the Venomous Giant Scorpion was in a rage.
"What should we do if that Venomous Giant Scorpion keeps chasing us? At this rate, we definitely won't escape." Meng Xiner, looking back with worry on her lovely face, said.
"There's someone ahead, lead it away." Xing Chen gritted his teeth, his gaze fixed ahead. He sensed a powerful aura coming from that direction, with several strong individuals from the Soul Realm present. As long as they could slightly hinder the Venomous Giant Scorpion, they would be able to escape to safety.
Meng Xiner nodded. She also felt the presence of many powerful auras ahead, and there was no other way but to divert the danger.
"Boss, it seems like something's happening over there?" At that moment, a group of people gathered ahead of Xing Chen and the others, one of them glanced back at them and said.
One man, wearing a black eye patch and exuding a fierce aura, turned to look back. His brow furrowed as he sensed a powerful presence rapidly approaching them.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
At that moment, two figures suddenly appeared and immediately fled into the distance. These two were Xing Chen and Meng Xiner. Just as the fierce-looking man showed confusion on his face, the ground around them suddenly shook, and a massive black-gold creature appeared before everyone.
"Damn it, it's the Venomous Giant Scorpion!" Upon seeing the Venomous Giant Scorpion appear, the man referred to as 'boss' cursed angrily.
Having lived for a long time in Nine Heavens Cloud Mountain, they knew all too well how terrifying the Venomous Giant Scorpion was. Although he himself was at the Soul Realm Pinnacle level, he had no confidence against the Venomous Giant Scorpion. Moreover, the Venomous Stinger at its tail was definitely lethal upon contact.
"B-Boss, what should we do?" A person beside him stammered.
"Damn it, if I find out who those two are, I'll make them pay!" The fierce man shouted angrily as he faced the already approaching Venomous Giant Scorpion and led his group into battle against it.
Meanwhile, after fleeing a short distance, Xing Chen began to struggle. After all, he had just taken a heavy blow from the Venomous Giant Scorpion. It was already impressive that he had held on this long.
"Here, take this pill quickly. We need to keep ourselves in peak condition at all times here; otherwise, we could easily lose our lives," Meng Xiner said as she glanced at Xing Chen and tossed him a bottle of pills from her Storage Ring.
"Those people earlier should be from Yunxiao Stronghold. With them hindering the Venomous Giant Scorpion, we should be safe now," Meng Xiner remarked after looking back and seeing nothing unusual.
"What kind of force is Yunxiao Stronghold?" While taking the pill to heal his injuries, Xing Chen asked. This time Meng Xiner didn't poison him; the pill she gave him was fine, and with its help, Xing Chen's injuries were quickly recovering.
"Yunxiao Stronghold is a force within Nine Heavens Cloud Mountain; it's essentially a group of bandits who established their own power. The leader is known as Azure Sky Eagle and has reached Soul Realm Pinnacle strength. They have quite a reputation around Nine Heavens Cloud Mountain," Meng Xiner explained calmly.
"It seems many forces want to get their hands on Thunderfire Deity's Inheritance!" Xing Chen glanced at Meng Xiner. If even bandits wanted to lay claim to Thunderfire Deity's Inheritance, other forces would certainly not miss this opportunity either. With his strength entering the Inheritance area would undoubtedly be perilous.
"That's right, many forces indeed want to get their hands on the Thunderfire Deity's Inheritance, but whether they can actually obtain it depends on personal fortune," Meng Xiner nodded, not denying this.
Half an hour later, Xing Chen's injuries had mostly healed.
"Are we continuing up the mountain?" Xing Chen looked at Meng Xiner.
"The Venomous Giant Scorpion's Venomous Stinger and Venomous Claw are very useful to me. I want to go back and see if the people from Yunxiao Stronghold have dealt with the Venomous Giant Scorpion," Meng Xiner shook her head. The Venomous Giant Scorpion is a highly toxic creature, and its Venomous Claw and Venomous Stinger are very beneficial for someone like Meng Xiner who uses poison.
Xing Chen did not immediately follow Meng Xiner but stayed in place, carefully examining himself.
"Hey, what are you doing? Hurry up!" Meng Xiner turned back when she saw that Xing Chen was not following.
"I'm checking to see if you've poisoned me," Xing Chen said seriously as he inspected himself.
"You... you actually suspect me?" Meng Xiner stomped her foot in annoyance.
"Alright, let's go!" After checking for a good while, Xing Chen finally looked up at Meng Xiner.
"Hmph!" Meng Xiner snorted and turned her face away from Xing Chen, looking quite upset.
Xing Chen shrugged in response, showing no further reaction.
Meanwhile, at Yunxiao Stronghold, the leader Azure Sky Eagle expressed his deep frustration as he and his men paid a heavy price to finally kill the Venomous Giant Scorpion. They had lost more than half of their personnel, and those who remained were all severely injured, lying on the ground without the strength to get up.
"Damn it, don't let me find out who those two are. Otherwise... otherwise... if I don't kill them, I, Azure Sky Eagle, will change my name to Cloud Sky Bug," Azure Sky Eagle vented his anger while sitting on the ground. He had come with confidence alongside his brothers to compete for the Thunderfire Deity's Inheritance but had lost more than half of his men before even entering the Inheritance area, and he himself was also heavily injured.
"Leader, although we've suffered significant losses this time, obtaining this Venomous Giant Scorpion is still a good outcome. Even if we ultimately don't get the Inheritance, we can still make a profit from this Venomous Giant Scorpion," one of the similarly injured men gasped as he spoke.
"Damn right! This Venomous Giant Scorpion is a treasure. Having this thing makes losing some personnel worthwhile," Azure Sky Eagle nodded. Although he still wore a fierce expression, there was now a hint of joy in his eyes when he looked at the Venomous Giant Scorpion.
The Venomous Giant Scorpion is valuable all over; aside from its Venomous Claw and Venomous Stinger, just its skin alone can fetch a high price. Whether used for crafting Divine Weapons or armor, its skin can reach at least the peak level of human-grade materials.
The most precious thing about the Venomous Giant Scorpion is the Venomous Pearl inside its body. As long as one carries this Venomous Pearl, they will be immune to all poisons and will no longer have to fear toxins.
"This Yunxiao Stronghold is quite powerful; they actually managed to take down the Venomous Giant Scorpion," Xing Chen said lightly as he glanced at the already deceased Venomous Giant Scorpion from the shadows.
"Their strength is indeed impressive, but it seems we will benefit from it," Meng Xiner said with a smile. Just thinking about obtaining the countless treasures from the Venomous Giant Scorpion made her heart surge with joy.
"You are truly cunning," Xing Chen remarked, looking at Meng Xiner's adorable face.
Anyone who saw Meng Xiner would never expect her to be so devious. After all, how could such a cute girl possibly engage in self-serving acts?
Yet Meng Xiner did just that. Xing Chen sighed countless times in his heart; such a lovely appearance should not belong to someone like Meng Xiner.
"Are you complimenting me or scolding me?" Meng Xiner shot a fierce glare at Xing Chen.
