Yu Tianlie casually threw out a few talismans, and with a touch of his spiritual consciousness, the talismans immediately turned into a string of fireballs, which smashed towards Jiang Yuebai like a string of fireballs.
On the other side, Zhong Shanhu drew out a sharp bone sword, which burst into dazzling blood light, instantly covering Jiang Yuebai under his attack, leaving him with no way to escape.
Both of them had left room for maneuver before their attacks, and had not revealed their true strength, so they only showed their full skills at this time.
Facing Zhong Shanhu's sword and blood, Jiang Yuebai felt like a small boat with nowhere to go, about to be swallowed up at any time.
Jiang Yuebai frowned slightly, and the fire silk spread in the air to form an airtight barrier to block Yu Tianlie's continuous fire bomb talismans.
She swung the Wind-killing Blade in her hand, instantly creating a violent wave of wind and tearing open Zhong Shanhu's blockade.
Boom boom boom!
Blood and flames flew everywhere in the fierce confrontation. The powerful force knocked Zhong Shanhu several feet away. He looked in horror at the blood being easily swallowed by the flames.
Zhong Shanhu felt a sharp pain in his sea of consciousness, as if a flame had burned his soul out of nowhere, making it difficult for him to resist.
"Is this the Earthly Evil Fire? You actually possess spiritual fire!"
Hearing this, Yu Tianlie, who was about to approach, suddenly stopped and retreated in fear.
Zhong Shanhu said, "It seems that the biggest gain today is not the spiritual fruit, but you!"
Zhong Shanhu glanced at Yu Tianlie, both of them had fierce eyes and raised their swords at the same time. The aura around them quickly merged into one, with a huge momentum.
A giant bloody tiger suddenly appeared above their heads, roaring to the sky.
roar!!
Insects and beasts in the dark fled in panic.
The two men swung their swords fiercely, and the giant tiger's momentum burst out, carrying an unparalleled destructive force, and ferociously pounced on Jiang Yuebai.
Jiang Yuebai was just about to avoid the attack when a gust of wind blew across his face, sand filled his eyes, and the ground suddenly shook.
The thick scorpion tail suddenly rushed out from the ground, instantly piercing the giant tiger's abdomen, lifting it up and smashing it to the ground.
Bang!
The giant tiger's shadow shattered, and the ground continued to crack and bulge, as if a huge monster was about to appear.
Jiang Yuebai looked at the scene in surprise and kept backing away to avoid the cracks. She could always feel a breeze lingering above the raised ground.
"Oh no, it's the Scorpion King!"
Zhong Shanhu shouted loudly and retreated with Yu Tianlie.
A brown scorpion that was larger than the house broke out of the ground, and the rubble smashed down on the three people.
Jiang Yuebai crossed his arms to block, and saw that the hideous and terrifying Scorpion King's body was covered with sword scars and charred holes, with only one scorpion pincer left. Even so, its power, which was extremely close to the Golden Core Stage, was still terrifying.
“Retreat first!”
Yu Tianlie glared at Jiang Yuebai, then immediately rushed towards the cave they came from with Zhong Shanhu.
Unfortunately, as soon as Yu Tianlie and Zhong Shanhu made a move, the Scorpion King swung its giant claws and smashed them hard in front of them. The mountains collapsed and the ground broke. The cave they came from suddenly collapsed.
A gentle breeze blew on their faces, and the two were forced to retreat. They saw the light on the Scorpion King's tail gathering and compressing, emitting an extremely dangerous aura.
The Scorpion King didn't even look at Jiang Yuebai behind him, and kept staring at the two of them with a fierce gaze.
boom!
A column of ochre-colored light exploded from under the two men's feet, turning the rubble into powder, causing huge waves to roll in and sweep across with a roar.
Jiang Yuebai was knocked to the ground by the powerful aftermath, not knowing what was going on.
"Donor, this way."
Jiang Yuebai heard Ruosheng's voice and turned around to see him hiding behind a huge rock by the lake.
Zhong Shanhu and Yu Tianlie rolled out from the center of the explosion in a panic. The Scorpion King violently waved its giant pincers and long tail, attacking the two men crazily.
The roar continued and the aftermath of the battle was powerful and unstoppable. Jiang Yuebai immediately got up and followed Ruosheng, walking across the lake and running towards the small island in the center of the lake.
"Why can you control the Scorpion King?" Jiang Yuebai asked directly. The wind was unusual, it must be Ruosheng's doing.
If you remain calm and say, "If you do too much evil, you will perish. That is not the will of this poor monk, but the will of the Buddha."
"I don't trust you!"
Jiang Yuebai stepped onto the island and looked up at the snake-shedding fruit on the tree. His kung fu had basically matured by now.
While the fight was raging in the distance, she swung her Wind-killing Knife and chopped down the fruit tree with one stroke, leaving only a stump in its place.
Jiang Yuebai still had doubts in his heart and looked at Ruosheng again.
The spiritual fruit tree was huge, and Jiang Yuebai couldn't absorb all the fruits in a short time. He had to cut the tree into small sections and put the thirteen snake peel fruits into the jade box.
"You really don't want these things?" Jiang Yuebai confirmed again.
Ruosheng shook his head, squatted down, took a handful of soil from the roots of the tree, and wrapped it up and put it away.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuebai felt at ease and put all his things into the storage bracelet.
"Are you here just to get this soil?" Jiang Yuebai asked while paying attention to the battle situation in the distance.
Zhong Shanhu and Yu Tianlie did have some skills. Although they were beaten by the Scorpion King without any ability to fight back, they would not die for a while.
Ruosheng stood up and said, "Of course not. The soil under the thousand-year-old spiritual fruit tree is better than ordinary spiritual soil. It is good for growing flowers."
The lake surface was like a mirror. Jiang Yuebai walked over, his eyes penetrating the surface of the lake to look at the bottom of the lake, looking for something valuable.
At this moment, dense spikes suddenly shot out from the bottom of the lake. Jiang Yuebai's eyes flashed and he turned around to dodge. Ruosheng stood where he was and put his hands together. The golden word "Buddha" appeared out of thin air and blocked all the spikes.
The fish at the bottom of the lake were frightened by the Buddha's light and fled quickly.
The ripples on the lake spread out and returned to calm. Jiang Yuebai's peripheral vision caught sight of the golden word "Buddha" reflected on the lake. An idea flashed in his mind and his pupils trembled.
She seemed to know the secret in the Ningguang Mirror!
boom!
With a loud bang, Jiang Yuebai looked up and saw the collapsed cave being blown open, and a young man in luxurious blue clothes jumped out.
Ruosheng raised a faint smile on his face, his eyes sparkling, "Here comes what I want!"
"Finally I found you bastards!"
Hearing Sha Yingjie's voice, Zhong Shanhu and Yu Tianlie, who were suffocating under the pressure of the Scorpion King, immediately diverted the blame and ran towards Sha Yingjie.
Seeing this, Sha Yingjie didn't hesitate and raised his hand to throw out a handful of fire thunder beads!
Boom boom boom!
Intensive explosions accompanied by flames and lightning raged back and forth in the underground space. Zhong Shanhu and Yu Tianlie were severely blown away and fell into the lake.
The Scorpion King held up an ochre-colored protective light shield, and the fire thunder bombarded it fiercely, creating a powerful destructive force, causing the light shield to fluctuate violently, and its light quickly dimmed.
Finally, before the light shield was broken, he burrowed into the ground and escaped temporarily.
"Jiang Chenzhou, stop right there!"
Sha Yingjie threw the scimitar in his hand like an arrow shot from a bow, straight into the vest of Jiang Yuebai who was trying to escape.
Jiang Yuebai flashed through the air, and her scimitar hit the mountain wall, collapsing the cave she came from.
Jiang Yuebai turned back helplessly, "They took the spiritual fruit, it's useless for you to stop me."
Hearing this, Zhong Shanhu and Yu Tianlie climbed up with blood in their mouths, furious.
“You’re talking nonsense! As soon as we came in, we were chased and blocked by the Scorpion King. It was clearly you who took the spiritual fruit.” Yu Tianlie shouted angrily.
Jiang Yuebai glanced inside the collapsed cave. Given the current situation, it would be difficult to escape.
Moreover, how could Sha Yingjie throw his scimitar such a long distance? It had long exceeded the maximum range of the spiritual awareness of a normal cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.
Jiang Yuebai suddenly remembered the manager of Mingshafang, who once said that their young master was collecting essence.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuebai decided to stay for a while and fish in troubled waters. She secretly released Xiaolu and asked Xiaolu to be on guard against Ruosheng who was hiding in the dark.
"If you didn't take it, why would the Scorpion King only chase you and fight you? The young master is not a fool, how could he be deceived by you?" Jiang Yuebai lied.
"Shut up! I brought you here to hunt monsters out of kindness, and I'm willing to share 30% of the harvest with you, but you're still not satisfied and dare to play tricks on me..."
Sha Yingjie stepped into the air and waved his hand to produce two golden talismans of special style in front of him.
Each one depicts a majestic warrior in golden armor, emitting a terrifying aura comparable to that of the Scorpion King.
Zhong Shanhu and Yu Tianlie stared in shock and said in a trembling voice: "Golden Armored Soldiers!"
Sha Yingjie raised his chin, his eyes proud, "Today, all of you must die!!"
