Chapter 717: Fighting Against the Half Step Scorpion King

“Let’s go!”

Most of the simulating spells did not come with a trapping effect . As long as the people got out of its coverage, they would not be affected by the attacks at all . The skinny elder flashed his body after killing a lot of birds and shot out through the gap of the birds .

The young man also knew that these birds could not be killed completely, and that they would only be wounded if they tried to fight back . Therefore, the skinny elder had just finished talking when he chased up .

Quak! Quak! Quak! Quak!

Hundreds of fire birds chased after them like a burning string . Unfortunately, just like the wolves, these birds could not shoot out long range attacks . Only the ones that were the closest could attack the two with their fireballs, causing countless splashes .

…

“So hot!”

Through the massive meadow, Ye Chen and the five arrived at the lava land . The temperature here was one hundred times greater than outside . Normal iron would melt instantly if put on the ground . The air itself was like burning qi flow . Normal warriors would have their lungs burnt through with the slightest inhalation .

“This should be the fire bird spell . We should not try our chances with the birds . Find a moment to make through . ” Qing Liu reminded the four .

The dark ground was full of cracks . The burning red lava and black smoke filled sky . The whole environment was so awful that it would be almost impossible for human beings to survive . Only fire elemental creatures would want to live here .

The five of them flew in the sky and had to constantly dodge the lave flow from the ground .

Quak!

All of a sudden, a wave of red water poured out of that massive fire mountain in front . When it reached closer, they realized that it was not water but a dense group of fire birds . These birds did not have a solid body; instead the bodies were made of fire elemental energy . As they flapped their wings, the flame burned aggressively, and the temperature of the air further increased by a couple of times .

Qing Liu attacked first, shattering a group of fire birds . Meanwhile, Ye Chen performed his Defensive sword spell, causing three golden light beams to shoot though the groups . Wherever they went, the birds fell down like raindrops .

“Everyone follow me! Let’s make through!”

Qing Liu’s protective Zhen yuan suddenly grew by a couple of times, covering the four before landing into another group of dense fire bird groups .

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A semi king warrior’s protective Zhen yuan was extremely powerful . Even after a couple times of expenditure, it was not something that the master level fire birds could compete with . All of the birds that tried hit their heads on the blockade failed . It was impossible for them to form a formation .

Boom!

All of a sudden, a massive sound was heard from the protective Zhen yuan layer . Qing Liu’s face went pale, and her body froze a little .

It turned out that there were three birds that had attacked a few times, and their power was not much weaker than Liu Wujian’s . They all landed onto the protective Zhen yuan, trying their best to stop the five from breaking through .

“Star Hand!”

Qing Liu made a noise as both of her hands reached out, twisting two fire birds’ necks . Meanwhile, that powerful aggressive qi explosion blew away another fire bird .

“Defensive sword spell!”

Ye Chen used the time to perform his sword spell . The gold sword went through the fire birds’ bodies .

“Let’s go!”

It was a great opportunity, and the fire birds behind were already catching up . The five of them increased their speed and shot out into the distance, soon managing to go way ahead of the birds .

After the meadow was the lava land, and after that was a white foggy place which had the effect of blocking out soul power . Being within, it was impossible to tell where one was or which the right direction to go would be .

“Four Extreme Emperor had the white sheep king below him, who was great at illusions . The spells he set out would be one of those for sure . Although they did not have attacking power by themselves, but they could trap people within . If we cannot break through the spell, then it would be possible to be stuck here forever, which would not be good . ”

Qing Liu did not have the Mysterious Queen’s power . Although she knew a lot about illusions as well, but she could not do it well herself . Meanwhile the white sheep king was known as the powerful beast king from the ancient era . Before he was trained by the Four Extreme Emperor, he was invincible for the longest time . Even king warriors at the same ranking would be scared of him and his illusions . Right now, out of the five of them, the most powerful one was Qing Liu, who was at the half step king warrior level . It would be extremely hard for them to break through the spells .

“I will give it a shot!” Murong Qingcheng stood out .

“You?”

Qing Liu looked at her with surprise . She was indeed not weak, but she had been so quiet this whole time, so Qing Liu had no idea what she could do .

“Senior Qingliu, don’t worry! Murong can handle this . ” Ye Chen knew everything about Murong Qingcheng . In other words, the demon race from the ancient era were not afraid of illusion at all . Murong Qingcheng had inherited that ability as well . Her demon eyes could see through every illusion .

Walking in front, she activated her demon power, pouring them under her eyes . The next second, her pupils became golden, and her vision could see through the illusions and into the distance .

“Let’s go that way!” Murong Qingcheng pointed out her finger toward the left .

“Let’s go!”

Ye Chen trusted Murong Qingcheng with his whole heart . On the other hand, Qing Liu and the other two hesitated briefly before following behind them .

After couple of hours, they actually walked out of the spells .

“Perfect half step demon bloodline is indeed like the legends . You have both the quality of humans as well as a part of the advantage of the demon race . ”

Qing Liu was impressed by Murong Qingcheng . The hardest thing when exploring the unknown regions was to not have eyes and ears . With Murong Qingcheng being there, they had nothing to worry about .

“Senior, you are flattering me . ”

Since being together with Ye Chen, Murong Qingcheng had stopped covering her face . Before, the reason she did so for so long was because she had made a decision that she would not show her face to too many people before she met the person of her dreams . Right now, a light smile appeared on her face .

“So beautiful! Just like Qingxuan, what a natural beauty!”

Just like that, the five of them made it through three different spells and came to the last one . It was the head of the top four king warriors, the Sky Scorpion King, and his spell was called the Sky Scorpion Spell . It was way more powerful than the ones set by the Wolf King and the Fire Bird King .

Over on the other side of the Sky Scorpion Spell, the skinny elder and the teenager were in deep battles . Their opponent was a massive scorpion beast . Normal ones would definitely not put them in this kind of position . But, the beast had reached beyond rank 10, and was in between rank 10 to rank 11 . It was a half step scorpion king . Its power was incomprehensible; the black beast power could already materialize, accumulating on the black shell . Its defense was extreme sturdy, and the massive claw was powerful and heavy enough to break through mountains and grounds . Added with that back hook, it would be almost impossible to block out one hundred percent of its attacks .

“Five Symbol Palm!”

The teenager moved the natural yuan qi as he threw out a palm attack onto the back of the half step scorpion king’s back .

Boom!

That twisted symbol on the back shattered the black beast power a bit, but it was not able to wound the core of the beast .

“Tian’er, you try to control it while I prepare the killing attacks . ”

The skinny elder did not want to continue fighting the scorpion . He was sure that if they continued doing this, it would not be the scorpion king that would die in the end . The beast power of the half step scorpion king was way more than theirs . With the spell, it would just be impossible to break through the situation .

“Alright . ” The teenager bit on his teeth and nodded .

…

The Sky Scorpion Spell too generated an uninviting environment . Once they entered, Ye Chen and the other four encountered five to six batches of scorpion beasts . These beasts might not have been more powerful than the fire birds, but they were great at attacking . That mysterious unpredictable hooks were like a killer hiding in the dark . Without being careful, anyone might be hit by that .

Most importantly, the beasts’ defense was also not something that the former two beasts could compete with .

After killing batches of scorpion beasts, the five had burned a lot of Zhen yuan . Luckily, Qing Liu and the other two had brought enough Zhen yuan pellets before they came here, while Murong Qingcheng even had the demon power essence inside her body . With that, she could recover her demon power extremely quickly . So, they were all okay for now .

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

As the five killed the seventh batches of scorpion beasts, a pile of dark clouds shot out of the mountains below . Within the dark mountains, a hill-sized scorpion beast was hiding . It was not only ten times bigger, its black beast power could even solidify like a layer of black shield . That massive hook on its back was the size of a house . As it opened and closed, it made metal clinging sound . That long tail disappeared and reappeared in that dark cloud while purple light flashed around the hook . It was not hard to tell that it would be full of poison .

“Half step scorpion king!” Qing Liu frowned .

There were a lot of half step king warriors amongst the human warriors, and there were also some half step beast king amongst the beasts . Qing Liu had not expected it, but the spell could even simulate a half step scorpion king as well . Although its qi was not as rich as a real one, its beast cultivation was at mid rank already . Plus, being inside the spell, this simulated beast king could basically do whatever it wanted, and would not have to worry about running out of beast power .

Crack! Crack!

The simulated beast king could not talk, so it flashed its body once and approached the five along with its dark clouds . It threw out its claw towards them as it got close, which looked like two pairs of massive scissors about to cut through the sky .

“Piss off!”

Qing Liu had dark blue light shining on her right hand which then landed on the half step beast king’s claws, generating a metal exploding sound .

The half step scorpion king was indeed a powerful one . That exchange of attack with Qing Liu had only pushed it back for dozens of steps; it was not wounded at all . Meanwhile, that back hook of its swooped around in the other direction at Murong Qingcheng and Ye Chen .

“Go!”

Ye Chen’s reflexes was extremely fast . The second that the hook started to make a movement, he performed his sword finger and his gold sword shot out of its scabbard, blocking out the half step scorpion’s back hook .

“Landing Spell!”

Qing Liu did not back out at all as she formed another spell with both of her hands . A massive crystal palm print fell from the sky, landing onto the back armor of the scorpion beast heavily . As a result, it sank in into the ground a little like a massive mountain .

“Let’s go . ”

With the advantage from winning the exchange, Qing Liu did not want to mess with the scorpion beast anymore, and wanted to leave with the gang . Unfortunately, although the scorpion beast was limited by the spell and could not shoot out long-range attacks, but that long back hook could reach out quite far, landing heavily on Qing Liu’s half step Zhen yuan layer heavily .

Boom!

She backed out dozens of steps, her face losing color .

The protective Zhen yuan layer outside her body had been devoured drastically . After all, the poison on that hook was something that even king warriors might need to be concerned about . It was not hard to imagine what would happen if it got inside one’s body .
