Chapter 252: Chapter 128: Seventh-Tier Corpse Scorpion Poisonous Fog Overwhelms the Sky, Lin Xuankong’s Powerful Spirit Puppet_2
Little Yu King lowered his head, remaining silent.
Beside the cave, Liy Ruoqing, Liy Ruo Ying, and Zheng Yunrui had already activated their Battle Armor and were clutching their weapons tightly. But alas, as they watched Yu Shier, a Late Stage Seventh Layer expert, approach step by step, despair gradually filled their eyes. He was a Late Stage Seventh Layer expert! It wasn’t just the three of them; even thirty cultivators like them wouldn’t be a match for Yu Shier. Even Hua Yanluo, the Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect Elder with the highest Realm, likely wouldn’t last more than ten breaths against him!
Zheng Yunrui was so tense, even her hair bun seemed to straighten. Her eyes darted around as she racked her brain for a solution. But... before absolute strength, what could she do!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Suddenly, several gigantic Demons appeared on the mountaintop: a Demon Sparrow, a Ghost Frog King, and five Demon Foxes.
These Demons were naturally summoned by Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er, Hua Yanluo, and the Princess’s Attendants!
At this moment, every Demon and every Martial Cultivator focused their gaze on Yu Shier. A great battle was about to begin!
Just then, Zheng Yunrui’s shout suddenly rang out, "Wait, what’s happening over there? Two huge black fogs!"
Yu Shier, Xiaoo Ying’Er, Hua Yanluo, Liy Ruoqing, and the others ignored her, still staring intently at each other.
"I’m not kidding! Those two black fogs are definitely a huge problem! They’ve already formed thousands of black fog tentacles and are flying towards us!" Zheng Yunrui exclaimed, her face etched with anxiety.
"Nonsense! Trying to stall for time?" Yu Shier retorted, glancing into the distance.
The next moment, his expression froze, his eyes flying wide open.
"Damn it, no! Those are two Late Stage Tier Seven Corpse Scorpions! Why aren’t they going towards General Yu’s position? They’re coming this way!"
Yu Shier’s shout drew everyone’s attention. Immediately, expressions of extreme dread and tension appeared on their faces.
「At this moment」
From the direction of the Secret Realm Center, two massive black fogs, each hundreds of zhang wide, were rapidly flying towards them through the air. Just as Zheng Yunrui had said, thousands of substantial black fog tentacles, each seven to eight hundred zhang long and thick as if tangible, spread out from the two fogs. These tentacles waved fiercely, blotting out the sky and looking both bizarre and ferocious!
"Damn it, why are two Late Stage Tier Seven Corpse Scorpions following us here!" Little Yu King’s face was taut with nervousness.
Hua Yanluo, the attendant Qiing, and Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er also grew tense.
A few days ago, a Late Stage Tier Seven Brown Bear Demon Person had chased them all over the Secret Realm. Xiaoo Ying’Er had even gathered hundreds of Fourth and Fifth Layer Martial Cultivators, but they still couldn’t deal with that Tier Seven Brown Bear Demon Person!
Now, they faced two terrifying Late Stage Tier Seven Demons—Highly Poisonous Corpse Scorpions, renowned for their deadly venom and bizarre abilities!
Even with a Late Stage Tier Seven Martial Cultivator here, it wouldn’t help! After all, unless a Martial Cultivator possessed extremely exceptional Talent, they generally couldn’t match a Same Tier Demon!
"Damn it!" Seeing the imminent danger, Yu Shier cursed as crimson red flames erupted from beneath his feet. He then gripped his Crimson Long Saber, channeling the flames as he charged towards the two mighty Late Stage Tier Seven Corpse Scorpions.
"Third Princess, Little Yu King, I will attack these two Tier Seven Corpse Scorpions and try to lure them away! You... the crisis is urgent, the Tier Seven Corpse Scorpions are upon us! For the Princess’s safety, we can’t hesitate any longer! Hurry into the cave and have Mu Shiba hand over his Demon Prison Cage! If we can use the Demon Prison Cage to suppress one of the Tier Seven Corpse Scorpions, I might have a chance against the other. Otherwise, I’m afraid we’ll all perish here!"
After speaking, he raised his Crimson Long Saber.
Instantly, a Flame Dragon, five to six hundred zhang long, appeared before him. This Flame Dragon was crimson red, and as soon as it materialized, it emitted countless terrifying flames, causing the surrounding air to sizzle and pop, distorting the light!
A dozen breaths later, Yu Shier and the two Corpse Scorpions’ vast Poisonous Fog drew near. The Flame Dragon confronted the two massive clouds of Poisonous Fog.
The Poisonous Fog immediately ignited, and strange, mournful hisses continually echoed from within it.
Immediately after, the thousands of tentacles formed from the Poisonous Fog flailed wildly, lashing towards the Flame Dragon!
In less than three breaths, the originally crimson Flame Dragon was corroded into a pitch-black color. Its flames quickly diminished, and the blackness spread rapidly along the dragon’s body, racing towards Yu Shier!
A trace of dread appeared on Yu Shier’s face. He immediately abandoned the Flame Dragon, which had consumed a great deal of his True Qi, and summoned another crimson Flame Dragon. This new dragon flew towards the Poisonous Fog, while Yu Shier himself sped rapidly towards the east!
His strength was far from enough to confront two Corpse Scorpions head-on, but by drawing their hatred and luring them towards the east, the Third Princess and Little Yu King would be safe!
To Yu Shier’s disappointment, although he had unleashed his strongest attack, instantly scorching the two Corpse Scorpions hidden within the Poisonous Fog, they seemed incredibly intelligent and were not provoked!
The two clouds of all-encompassing Poisonous Fog did not pursue Yu Shier. Instead, they continued flying towards the small hill, seemingly determined to deal with the ’easy prey’ there first!
Anxious, Yu Shier continuously drove the crimson Flame Dragon to attack the two black fogs. Unfortunately, his fierce attacks couldn’t stop the approaching Poisonous Fog from the Tier Seven Corpse Scorpions, nor could they destroy the extensive miasma; they only managed to slightly delay them!
Watching the vast Poisonous Fog draw near, Hua Yanluo anxiously shouted, "Princess, retreat quickly! The Corpse Scorpion Venom of a Tier Seven beast is terrifying! It can instantly reduce a Fifth or Sixth Layer Martial Cultivator to a mere mortal!"
Xiaoo Ying’Er naturally knew how terrifying a Tier Seven Corpse Scorpion was. However, she hesitated because Mr. Mu was still in the cave, refining a Puppet. The situation is dire, do we really need to interrupt Mr. Mu’s refining process now? But if we don’t, Mr. Mu himself might be attacked by the Corpse Scorpions!
Liy Ruoqing, Liy Ruo Ying, and Zheng Yunrui all had faces filled with despair. When Yu Shier of Prince Yu’s Mansion had forcefully tried to enter the cave moments ago, they could still resist a bit, knowing that with the Third Princess of Great Xia present, Yu Shier wouldn’t dare to kill them outright. But two terrifying Late Stage Tier Seven Corpse Scorpions... how could they possibly stop them? With what, their heads?
"Damn it, there’s no escaping this time!" Liy Ruoqing sighed and reached for his weapon.
A joyful voice suddenly came from deeper within the cave, "Two Late Stage Tier Seven Corpse Scorpions! If one could be suppressed and refined, it would become another Late Stage Tier Seven Spirit Puppet! This Secret Realm is truly full of surprises!"
As the voice sounded, several large rocks at the entrance of the cave suddenly shifted, revealing two figures.
Hearing the voice, the tense crowd turned their heads, their expressions perplexed.
At the cave entrance stood Lin Xuankong, holding a Demon Prison Cage. Beside him was a small bear. This small bear had curly, fluffy brown fur, gleaming dark eyes, and seven short tails, giving it a very adorable appearance.
However, the Martial Cultivators on the hilltop, including Hua Yanluo and Little Yu King, were filled with astonishment and dread as they looked at the small bear.
That was no ordinary bear. That was a genuine Late Stage Tier Seven Brown Bear Demon Person...
At this moment, the bear Spirit Puppet seemed alive, its pitch-black eyes scanning everyone present.
In the next instant, the small bear, initially only half a foot tall, suddenly swelled in size, growing to nearly ten feet tall. Demon Qi, so dense it was almost tangible, swirled around it.
Instantly, everyone, including Little Yu King, Hua Yanluo, Liy Ruoqing, and Liy Ruo Ying, felt an intense chill spread through their bodies.
This Spirit Puppet, whose strength far surpassed everyone present, exuded such an intimidating presence without even making a move that it made everyone’s hearts clench!
