Chapter 1070: Chapter 1070: Utterly Unreasonable

Xie Li hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided not to betray Ling Xiao.

Because compared to Ling Xiao, this Mu Tu was truly too detestable.

Her Scorpion people were not the type to fear death and grovel at the feet of the strong out of fear!

Moreover, the Scorpion Tribe had already received news that the nearby Lizard Clan, in collusion with the Little Prince Jiumo Zhiyan of the Black Crow Empire, was preparing to launch an attack on the Scorpion Tribe.

To her, Ling Xiao was merely a plaything that had strayed into their territory, whereas Mu Tu was the real enemy.

"Kill me or carve me up as you please—I have never seen him, Timmerman Mu Tu, don’t use such a poor excuse to try to offend our Scorpion Tribe!"

Xie Li spoke with righteous indignation.

This speech indeed made Ling Xiao, hiding in the dark, feel a flicker of admiration for her.

To be honest, releasing Jiumo Zhiyan’s aura just now was deliberate on his part; he wanted to draw Mu Tu over and then take the opportunity to escape.

He wanted Timmerman Mu Tu and the Scorpion Tribe to bite each other, as in his view, neither side was good.

But now, he felt a little compassionate—although Xie Li was hateful, she was still more admirable compared to Timmerman Mu Tu.

"Grand Tutor, let me capture her," said the Martial Artist at the half-step Yin Yang Realm, bowing. "It’s useless to reason with such obstinate folks. The Scorpion Tribe’s terrain is complicated; only by capturing this woman can we reduce our difficulty somewhat. Moreover, with that item within the Scorpion Tribe, finding the Little Prince will be much easier."

Timmerman Mu Tu nodded and said, "Remember, don’t kill her. After all, keeping her alive still has its uses!"

"Do not worry, Grand Tutor, no matter how cunning the Scorpion people are, today I, Feng Zhan, will capture her."

Feng Zhan had failed to protect Jiumo Zhiyan and was already displeased; he was looking for an outlet for his frustration, and today Xie Li was the perfect opportunity. If he didn’t vent furiously, he felt he would suffocate.

As soon as he finished speaking, he shot through the air toward Xie Li.

During his approach, he transformed into a black line, his figure no longer discernible, and even the air around him resounded with explosive sounds, scarring the sandy ground with deep furrows like trenches.

Xie Li was well aware that she was no match for Feng Zhan and thus wished not to engage in a prolonged fight.

The moment an opportunity arose, she would choose to escape and inform their king about Timmerman Mu Tu’s incursion into the Scorpion Tribe.

Otherwise, given the strength of Timmerman Mu Tu and Feng Zhan, no one could stand against them except the Scorpion King, and the Scorpion Tribe might indeed face a great calamity.

With these thoughts in mind, Xie Li did not stay idle; the moves she had previously used against Ling Xiao were also unleashed.

However, compared to the previous attempt, the sand-formed Poisonous Scorpions were not only larger, but she conjured two at once, doubling the power.

Feng Zhan simply watched Xie Li’s every move with cold indifference. His Long Spear was already raised, filled with surging energy, repelling the chaotic sandstorm far away from him.

Boom!

With a thrust of the spear, one of the giant Poisonous Scorpions was instantly burst, leaving no chance for suspense.

Feng Zhan was indeed strong, so formidable that it instilled immense fear.

Ling Xiao, hidden in the shadows, marveled secretly—managing to save his own life from such a person was truly unbelievable.

After bursting one of the Poisonous Scorpions, Feng Zhan did not stop his advance. With a flick of his Long Spear, the gun light exploded forth, even more potent than before.

The rolling sand waves could not obscure his figure, as if it were forged from steel.

Boom!

Another Poisonous Scorpion was impaled by the Long Spear.

Faced with the terrifying combat intent of Feng Zhan, Xie Li suddenly bit down hard on her own hand, and fresh blood dripped onto the sand.

After that, a gigantic Poisonous Scorpion congealed once again.

Only, this time, the situation was utterly different.

The scorpion, clearly formed from grains of sand, seemed as if it were a living creature, its huge tail swinging behind it, and its blue, sinister sting was actually two to three meters long.

"This scorpion actually has life, what kind of Secret Technique is this?"

Ling Xiao was also shocked. To be able to turn inanimate matter into something alive, could it be activating the soul within those grains of sand?

Try as he might, Ling Xiao couldn’t see through the true nature of the situation, but one thing was certain, this bore some similarities to the Immortal Pot’s absorption of souls.

The Immortal Pot could absorb the soul of any object.

And yet, the Secret Technique used by Xie Li could bestow inanimate objects with souls. Although it was the reverse process, the principle seemed to be the same.

Boom!

Feng Zhan’s Long Spear pierced the Poisonous Scorpion’s body once more.

However, this time, he couldn’t penetrate the scorpion; instead, he was directly blocked by the scorpion’s enormous pincers, and then its tail whipped around, attempting to stab him.

"What a bizarre Secret Technique!"

Feng Zhan hastily retreated, his expression growing grim. Based on his estimation, the great Poisonous Scorpion that had coalesced this time likely had the strength equivalent to someone just entering the Cave Heaven Realm.

And its defense was incredibly strong.

In the shadows, Ling Xiao watched, dumbfounded.

He suddenly felt that the Soul Judgment within his own God Tomb might share some similarities with this scorpion.

"Hmph, so your Scorpion Tribe does possess such a Secret Technique. It’s hard to say how many animal souls you must have extracted."

Mu Tu suddenly snorted coldly.

"Which Secret Technique?"

Feng Zhan asked in confusion.

"The Scorpion Tribe can transfer the soul of a living creature into an inanimate object, creating this unique Ultimate Skill. However, it doesn’t matter. The inanimate object they control is never stronger than their own Cultivation Level, and to congeal stronger objects, they must use more potent Soul Power. Her strength is notable, but her Soul Power should only be at the First Cave Heaven’s level."

Mu Tu spoke indifferently, "Feng Zhan, if you find it too challenging, then let the old man take over."

There was a tone of sarcasm and threat in his words.

Feng Zhan shivered, hastily saying, "Grand Tutor, rest assured, as long as we understand the principle of this thing, I will undoubtedly capture it."

"Then why are you not acting quicker!"

Timmerman Muto seemed to be growing somewhat impatient, "If you cannot resolve the battle within ten moves, the old man will have to take action."

He didn’t actually want to make a move here, because once he did, it was likely that the Scorpion King would sense his aura. That was why he agreed to let Feng Zhan go after Xie Li.

But Feng Zhan’s performance was somewhat disappointing to him.

Regrouping, Feng Zhan thrust his spear once more and engaged in combat with Xie Li.

Although Mu Tu didn’t seem to care much about the battle, nor was he satisfied, Ling Xiao, observing from his hiding spot, was tremendously shocked.

This battle between the formidable warriors of the Cave Heaven Realm was simply terrifying. Just the energy that diffused out towards him was enough to make him exceedingly uncomfortable. If not for the fact that he had chosen a rather concealed spot, it would have been improbable for that energy to reach him.

Otherwise, if he were hit, the consequences would be unthinkable.

It’s likely that it would either kill him or leave him grievously injured; this was certainly no joke.
