however.
Before Han Yi could figure it out, swarms of black scorpions surged in, giving him no chance to think.
The black scorpions, flapping their wings at high speed, took flight one after another, like giant black eagles that had found their prey, swooping down on them all at once.
The long sword is unsheathed.
Like a dragon emerging from the abyss, dozens of blades shot out in the blink of an eye. Streams of silver-white blade light instantly covered the surroundings, as if the entire world had transformed into a sea of blades in an instant.
hiss hiss hiss...
The blade energy pierced the air, accompanied by the sound of tearing apart the air and causing continuous air currents to vibrate. Huge, crisscrossing trenches appeared everywhere on the ground. However, when it struck the black scorpions, it only caused them to stagger and fall back as if nothing had happened, before they surged forward again in an instant.
Upon seeing this, Nangong Ling's gloomy face revealed a hint of mockery.
"It seems you don't understand this world enough. Although the Xisha Black Scorpion is weak individually and can be easily killed, this creature... can spread across vast deserts and become the most widely distributed carnivore, mainly due to its extremely rapid growth characteristics."
"If we don't completely eliminate any such creatures we encounter, the same methods will be much less effective next time, or even completely ineffective. Therefore… with these creatures, we either don't act at all, or once we do, we must wipe them out completely… It seems you haven't listened to either of these two approaches."
He glanced back at Han Yi, who was trapped by the black scorpion, and shook his head slightly.
A large number of black scorpions piled up like a human pyramid, completely engulfing Han Yi.
At first glance, it looks like a wriggling black giant egg.
Only the occasional sound of long swords slashing and the occasional burst of light could prove that the people inside were still alive.
"I hope you can learn from this lesson... if you can still go back alive." A cold glint flashed in Nangong Ling's eyes, and she turned and left without hesitation.
Even someone like him, with his rich experience, strong strength, powerful divine will, and the soul weapon he possesses, would still be vulnerable if he couldn't be completely wiped out on the first try.
The second time they encountered a black scorpion specifically designed for evolution, escape was extremely difficult.
Besides, he's just a newcomer.
With a thought, Nangong Ling unleashed a black vine, its body radiating a dense aura of death, and quickly coiled towards the Soul Crystal.
really.
This time, the power was switched ahead of time, and the vitality was replaced with death energy. The lake water, which had the power to absorb the life force of living things, had no effect at all and did not hinder it in the slightest.
There was a crash.
Water splashed everywhere.
The translucent soul crystal, faintly glowing red, was thus obtained.
"Done!" Nangong Ling said with a happy expression. She transformed into a green light, picked up Lü Ping, and left.
From beginning to end, he didn't glance at Han Yi even once.
He didn't care whether Han Yi would die or escape; it was none of his business. He was just a logistics staff member and had no responsibility for rescue.
"Nameless... Three Forms!"
Suddenly a low shout rang out.
Click!
A crisp sound came from behind Nangong Ling. He couldn't help but turn around and glance back.
A conspicuous red crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the giant egg.
A blinding red light suddenly shone from the crack.
The red light was dazzling and bright, like radiation, carrying extreme heat, propelling the airflow, and flying out like lightning, exploding around Nangong Ling with a bang.
A split second of effort.
All around were extremely fierce fire energy, surging and roaring like a volcano about to erupt.
In this situation, Nangong Ling had to slow down and carefully dodge to maintain her speed.
When he calms his mind and focuses his spirit, the imagery he condenses is compatible with the wood element, while the fire element is the most effective counter to him.
Especially when using Wood Release: Technique, a slight mishap could result in damage to the soul, making it particularly vulnerable. *Sizzle sizzle sizzle...*
As the first crack appeared, the second, the third...
Countless cracks appeared, and the entire giant egg was instantly riddled with holes, from which a large amount of red light surged forth.
All the red lights connected together resembled a slowly blooming red lotus flower, with layers upon layers of bright halos, dyeing the entire oasis, desert, and sky a crimson hue.
"not good!!"
As the lotus grew larger, brighter, and more vibrant, Nangong Ling's face turned deathly pale, her heart trembled, and she felt her hands and feet grow cold, her hair stand on end, and the fear of dying at any moment kept surging into her heart.
He steeled his resolve, channeling all the demonic power within him, ready to charge out regardless of the consequences.
At this moment, Nangong Ling was shocked to discover.
The air around me was like boiling water, splashing violently, with large amounts of white smoke rising and visible ripples spreading outwards, shaking violently like a flood.
Snap...
As if something had shattered, the air in the entire oasis suddenly jolted, and like a fragile mirror, clear wrinkles and cracks appeared.
This is no longer the time to worry about getting hurt.
Rather, he simply couldn't leave.
The surrounding energy was boiling and turbulent, like a giant whirlpool emerging from the depths of the ocean, sweeping and disrupting everything. The terrifyingly swirling air currents caused the energy to become disordered, and various types of energy were squeezed and twisted together, like a spring compressed to its limit, ready to explode at any moment, out of control.
The greatest weakness of the Northern Divine Soul System lies here.
Once external energy becomes scarce or unavailable, relying solely on one's own demonic energy reserves will result in a shockingly pitiful drop in combat power. Left with no other choice...
Nangong Ling could only temporarily avoid the attack and focus on defense.
He clasped his hands together, and in an instant, a green light flashed on his forehead, around his eyes, and in other places.
Strands of green ribbons flew out, forming three green tree walls as solid as copper and iron, arranged in a triangular shape to protect themselves.
This is not over yet.
The enormous vine monster stretched out its arms and exposed its back, clinging tightly to the tree wall.
Then, an incomparably dazzling red light appeared.
The crimson light was as intense as blood, vast and mighty, like a ring that devoured and annihilated everything, roaring as it spread outwards.
The red light, carrying immense energy fluctuations, easily and effortlessly engulfed the location where Nangong Ling was standing.
The surging air currents, like a raging, turbulent sea, tore, shattered everything in their path. (Looking from high above.)
A small mushroom cloud, composed of red flames, slowly rose and bloomed over the entire desert oasis.
In a moment.
A deep, thunderous roar resounded.
then.
Everything goes quiet.
call…...
A gust of hot wind blew by, carrying up large swaths of black ash that fluttered and danced like butterflies.
At this point, the trees, flowers, and even the lake water in the desert oasis had almost disappeared, leaving only a huge black pit occupying most of the space.
Countless plumes of black smoke billowed from the pit, filling the air with choking dust. Large patches of cracks, as if trampled and rammed by a herd of raging elephants, radiated outwards like a giant fishing net stretching into the depths of the desert, with no end in sight.
It was completely different from the lush, vibrant green sandbar we had just seen.
At the very bottom center of the pit, a thick layer of scalding, viscous liquid, like magma, was slowly and laboriously flowing.
Chi!
An arm covered in black ash was raised with great effort, accompanied by churning liquid and billowing white steam carrying extremely high temperatures.
Next, there was the other hand.
As if she were completely exhausted, it took another half a day before Nangong Ling was able to stand up completely.
"Cough! Cough cough..."
His silver-white protective robe was completely destroyed, and his entire body was covered in black ash, indistinguishable whether it came from his clothes or from somewhere else. "Live...live...finally survived..." Nangong Ling rested for a moment and caught his breath.
Although he looked disheveled, he survived, albeit at a great cost.
“That person…” Nangong Ling looked around, and it seemed that he was the only living person there. “Could it be that they perished together?”
He guessed that the powerful move he had just made was like someone who had been forced into a desperate situation and was resorting to a self-destructive tactic, risking their life to the death.
If one loses control and the power goes out of control, it's not impossible that one's own actions could be implicated.
After catching her breath, Nangong Ling activated her demonic power and prepared to leave.
He knew he couldn't stay too long.
The commotion here is too great and could easily attract some terrifying and powerful predators in the Xisha Islands.
Clang! Just then.
A long sword, accompanied by a gust of wind, fell like a meteor from the sky and plunged into the middle of the pit. The viscous liquid inside the pit was affected and bounced around like a spring.
"Where are you going?"
Han Yi slowly walked over.
He stood before the pit, looking down with a calm gaze, his eyes sharp as knives, a cold glint of light that seemed to cleave everything in two.
At this moment, Han Yi's upper body clothes were ripped open, revealing prominent muscles on his chest and abdomen. The muscles were neatly arranged and clearly defined, each muscle looking like taut steel, black and shiny.
He had originally maintained a normal size, but now he had exploded to more than two meters tall. Faint flames swirled around his entire body, and even his hair seemed to be formed from flames, flying wildly and unrestrainedly. The overwhelming heat that rushed towards him gave people the feeling of being directly facing volcanic lava.
"You're not dead? Are you from the Southern Yan family? Are you from the Southern Yan family or the Hundred Refinements School?" The moment Nangong Ling saw Han Yi's figure appear, her face turned pale and her heart skipped a beat.
There are very few schools of thought that can unleash such powerful fire-based techniques and still appear unscathed.
“No, that’s not right. Logically speaking, your team should be explorers, so there shouldn’t be anyone from the Middle Triple School…” Nangong Ling muttered to herself, puzzled.
Among the Hundred Schools of Thought in the North, there are numerous schools of thought in the Lower Three Realms, varying greatly in quality and direction, as well as in strength.
Therefore, the Lower Three Schools primarily undertake pioneering tasks such as exploration in the outside world.
"Hand over the Soul Crystal."
Han Yi completely ignored the so-called Middle Three Flame Family Hundred Refinement School and simply looked at the other party calmly.
“If our goals are the same, and we’re not competing for the highest reward, but just for this Soul Crystal, then there’s absolutely no need for us to clash.” Nangong Ling tried to seize the opportunity. “The reward offered by the Demon Saint Palace is too meager, a mere second-rate Soul Weapon. It’s far better to let me manage it; I can definitely obtain a much more generous reward.”
"No need," Han Yi said coldly. "Too much trouble."
He had no patience to wait for things to run, and instead handed things over to a complete stranger.
It's better to get the benefits immediately.
The time wasted just from going back and forth is unimaginable.
What he hates most is trouble.
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Ling was stunned, her face filled with disbelief.
