Chapter 1971
"Rustle, rustle …"
Huge sounds continuously reverberated in the desert.
Thousands of meters behind the woman in red was a billowing cloud of smoke and dust. It seemed as if a giant dragon made of yellow sand was rapidly moving; its momentum was extremely great.
The sand that churned forward contained countless black shadows.
It was a gigantic scorpion.
They were the "Heartless Sky Scorpion" that was unique to this desert. Each of them had a st.u.r.dy body and incomparably fast speed. Furthermore, they liked to move in groups. After discovering their prey, they would definitely chase after it. They would never stop until they had eaten their prey.
Obviously, the woman in red in front of him was the prey of this swarm of scorpions.
Unknowingly, both parties had pursued each other for nearly half a quarter of an hour. However, the distance between the two did not decrease by much over time.
"These things are really haunting."
The woman in red slightly knitted her brows as anger flashed through her eyes. However, a trace of joy also surged up from the bottom of her heart.
She was a cultivator that had just ascended from the heavens, and the dense immortal spirit aura that emanated from her body was a testament to this. When she was in the lower realms, she was already mentally prepared for the dangerous situations that she would encounter after entering the Heaven Realm. She even planned all sorts of countermeasures.
Fortunately, this was the case. Otherwise, she would have lost her life the moment she was exposed to the group of scorpions. It would have been impossible for her to escape from the encirclement of scorpions.
However, even though they had escaped the encirclement, the group of scorpions were still relentlessly chasing them. It was truly a headache for them.
"Fortunately, although I have just ascended the heavens, my strength far surpa.s.ses that of ordinary people. Otherwise, I would have been caught up by these scorpions a long time ago." The woman in red"s expression was grim. Her mind spun rapidly. She could still maintain her strength for another period of time, but she didn"t know if she could surpa.s.s the remaining scorpions.
"I haven"t seen him for decades. I wonder how he"s doing right now?"
The woman in red"s thoughts stirred, and a slender figure appeared in her mind. A strong longing filled her heart, but now was not the time to let her imagination run wild. The woman in red immediately suppressed her emotions and continued to think of a way to escape.
If he really had no other choice, he would have to use the molten lava Giant.
The woman in red pinched the thin jade slip in her hand. With a thought, she thought to herself. This jade slip was called the "Spirit Melting Puppet Seal" and was something that she had brought from the lower realms.
"Rustle, rustle …"
With a blink, another several hundred miles pa.s.sed. But just at that time, the movements behind him suddenly increased by quite a bit.
The woman in red quickly turned her head over, and suddenly discovered an unusually large black shadow shooting out explosively from the rolling smoke. With just a few leaps, the distance between the two sides had already shortened by several hundred meters. That was also a black scorpion, but its size was several times larger than the other scorpions behind her.
Compared to them, those scorpions were like children in front of the brawny man.
The giant black scorpion was extremely ferocious, as if it was an ancient vicious beast that had just broken free from its cage. It madly rushed forward, and a violent aura surged out from its body.
The woman in red"s complexion changed. She immediately realized that she was no match for the giant black scorpion behind her.
Moreover, with the speed it was displaying, he estimated that it wouldn"t be long before he was caught. By that time, if she had even the slightest pause, the countless remaining scorpions would chase after her and surround her. She would once again be surrounded by the black scorpions.
It would not stop there, but it would end up getting messed up!
These words subconsciously flashed through the woman in red"s mind. This was something he often said when they were in the lower realms. Now, it was a critical moment in which he needed her to make a decision.
In almost an instant, the woman in red made her decision.
"Evil creature, how dare you attack human cultivators on the territory of our Azure Dragon Clan, you are really reckless!" However, just as the lady in red was about to activate the "Spirit Melting Puppet Seal", a thunderous shout suddenly rumbled and shook the entire area.
"Hmm?"
The woman in red didn"t stop. Her delicate eyebrows slightly raised as a trace of surprise flashed through her eyes.
Almost at the same instant that voice was heard, five small dots appeared in her line of sight. In less than a breath of time, those specks of light had turned into five black shadows, shooting over from the distant horizon at lightning speed. Their speed was unbelievably fast.
In the blink of an eye, those five figures appeared in front of the woman in red.
The person standing right in front was shockingly an old man dressed in black robes, a burly man with a white beard and a face full of white hair. The person standing right in front was shockingly an old man dressed in black robes, a burly man with a white beard and a face full of white hair.
This person"s strength is so strong, I wonder what cultivation he has?
Compared to him, the group of scorpions behind him, even the gigantic black scorpion, was nothing. The moment this thought flashed through her mind, the woman in red couldn"t help but turn her head to look. The next moment, an extremely unimaginable scene appeared before her eyes.
The group of scorpions had already stopped moving forward. The huge black scorpion at the very front had already turned its body and its stomach was facing upwards as it seemed to be begging for forgiveness. The former impressive might was completely gone. The countless scorpions behind the giant scorpion also followed suit and revealed their stomachs in front of everyone"s eyes.
The rolling smoke and dust that was carried by the scorpions had also swiftly scattered. The figures of the countless number of scorpions that were originally covered by the dust had become increasingly clear.
"You only thought of begging for forgiveness now? "Too late!"
The tall and st.u.r.dy old man snorted coldly, then waved his fan-like hand forward. The four figures behind him shot forward, and in an instant, they flew past the lady in red, like four sharp swords that revealed their sharpness, sweeping towards the group of scorpions. Wherever they pa.s.sed by, all obstacles would be reduced to dust.
The giant black scorpion seemed to have sensed that begging for mercy was useless. It suddenly turned its body around and quickly fled in the direction where the group of scorpions had come from.
As it moved, the countless scorpions behind it also moved. It was a complete mess.
Although its speed seemed to be extremely fast, in a blink of an eye, a white sword light flashed past. It did not even have the time to react before Pang Shuo"s body was split into two halves by the sword light.
After the sword energy pa.s.sed, the cultivator didn"t stop at all as he charged into the group of scorpions with the other three. He was like a tiger in a flock of sheep, and wherever he went, he was invincible.
Seeing this scene, the woman in red could no longer hide the shock in her heart. Surprise emerged on her beautiful face.
But at this moment, the tall and st.u.r.dy old man who had yet to make a move suddenly bowed to her. "The division head of the Azure Dragon Division of the Heavenly Law Academy, Yuan Zhan, greets Madam!"
