Chapter 1068: Chapter 1068: Fierce Scorpion Woman

"Hehe, what’s the rush? I’m not done playing yet. A cute little human prince like this should be thoroughly toyed with for fun, right? And why the panic? Even if the sky falls, there’s a king to uphold it. Would I really let you go and get yourselves killed?"

Butterfly Girl laughed seductively. At this moment, Ling Xiao was surrounded by poisonous scorpions and utterly unable to escape, so she could leisurely take her time dealing with him.

"Little brother, there’s no need to lie in front of your sister here. Your body carries the scent of war, and it’s quite strong. If I’m not mistaken, you must be a soldier, right? What exactly is your purpose in coming to our Scorpion Tribe? And are you from the Black Crow Empire or the Phoenix God Empire?"

Ling Xiao was startled. This woman was formidable; by merely observing his aura, she could guess his rough identity. It seemed best not to lie before her.

And there was no need to lie.

He spoke softly, "Sister, I was originally a disciple of Qingxu College. This time I followed the military to the frontier for a trial. In chasing after the people from the Black Crow Empire, I lost my way. I had hoped to tame a desert hermit crab to return smoothly, but that beast actually led me here."

Of course, there was no deceit in Ling Xiao’s words.

However, he omitted many key details.

He didn’t expect her to let him go, so while he talked, his soul power was already released, ready to escape at any moment.

"Hehe, you are quite honest and haven’t lied."

Butterfly Girl watched Ling Xiao for a while and then smiled slightly.

"Since I’ve told the truth, perhaps sister could call off those poisonous scorpions now?"

While Ling Xiao spoke, he dared not move his eyes away from Butterfly Girl. This person was a Tenth Cave Heaven Realm powerhouse; a moment’s carelessness could cost him his life.

"Even though you’ve told the truth, the rule of the Scorpion Tribe is that intruders must die. Capture him alive; I have a use for him!"

Butterfly Girl’s seductive eyes flickered as she spoke to a Scorpion person beside her.

"Yes!"

A male Scorpion person by Butterfly Girl’s side burst forward, wielding a strange whip as his weapon. This whip had barbs all over it and could spray poison or simply be used to bind someone without poison.

The long whip lashed toward Ling Xiao, apparently not to kill him, but rather to seriously injure him.

Perhaps this is how Scorpion people hunted, only by doing so could the prey be rendered obedient.

"Ninth Heaven Martial Artist!"

The moment her opponent made a move, Ling Xiao quickly discerned their cultivation level. The Golden Crow Sword suddenly struck out and viciously stabbed at the long whip.

A fierce glow flickered, and some poisonous scorpions near Ling Xiao were actually roasted alive.

The horrifying force blew countless poisonous scorpions towards the Scorpion person who was lunging at him, and Ling Xiao’s body took the opportunity to soar into the sky.

Snap!

The long whip and the Golden Crow Sword collided mid-air.

Ling Xiao used this force to soar even higher, while the Scorpion person did not back off but instead lashed out with the whip again, aiming a vicious strike at Ling Xiao.

"Farewell!"

The long whip was swung, but it failed to hit Ling Xiao because by now Ling Xiao had sprouted wings on his back and was breaking through the air, so fast that it once again startled Butterfly Girl.

"Is that a flying Martial Soul? No, it’s not a Martial Soul, but his cultivation level is only that of the Heavenly Man Realm. How could he possibly condense wings?"

Muttering to herself, Butterfly Girl suddenly pursed her lips into a smile: "The rest of you continue to monitor here, report immediately if you spot any suspicious individuals. This little cutie is interesting; he must have some treasure hidden on him. I’ll personally go after him!"

"Yes, Butterfly Girl!"

After giving the order, Xie Li smiled slightly. She then soared into the air. Though she couldn’t form wings, her body could hover in midair, and her speed was even much faster than Ling Xiao’s.

"My sweet little dear, you better run fast, or this chase is going to be no fun at all."

Xie Li’s status within the Scorpion Tribe was very high. If others found out that a human martial artist from the Heavenly Man Realm had escaped from her grasp, she would face utter disgrace upon returning.

So Ling Xiao was someone she had to capture!

"Damn it! Persistent much? I already said it wasn’t on purpose."

A trail of golden light broke through the sky, accompanied by the reluctant cursing voice.

Ling Xiao had already noticed Xie Li relentlessly pursuing him. He felt extremely depressed; this was off-course from Northern Desert City. It had been hard enough getting here, and now all his efforts were about to be wasted.

Boom!

Xie Li couldn’t fly; she could only glide.

After gliding for a long time, her body suddenly fell to the ground, creating a large crater on the soft sandy beach. Then she burst forth with increased speed.

"Little darling, running is useless. I’ve already said I won’t kill you. Come back with me and stay in the Scorpion Tribe for a while. Once the investigation is clear, you’ll naturally be set free."

Xie Li’s face bore a mocking smile, clearly treating this as a cat-and-mouse game.

It had been a long time since a human had brought her so much joy.

"Thieving old hag, wicked fairy, are you sick in the head? If I go back to the Scorpion Tribe with you, you’d likely skin me alive and eat me whole."

Ling Xiao knew very well how cruel the Scorpion people could be. From birth, they would eat their own parents and then inherit their legacy to survive.

Not only would they become stronger, but even more merciless as well.

"Little thing, your words are truly unsightly. But you’re right, I do want to play with you to death, suck dry your essence blood, and then turn you into a specimen! You can’t escape today!"

Upon hearing Ling Xiao’s words, Xie Li suddenly became infuriated and cursed loudly.

"Old witch, don’t dream! Even if I commit suicide, I won’t let an old thing like you touch me."

While fleeing, Ling Xiao considered whether he should simply call Butterfly Girl for help.

But after hesitating for a long time, he finally gave up.

If he wasn’t at death’s door yet, calling on Butterfly Girl too early would be detrimental to his own development.

"You nasty little thing spewing filth, you think I fancy you? Since you wish to die, then I shall fulfill your wish!"

Xie Li was truly enraged.

Never before had a human with a cultivation level so much lower than hers dared to speak to her like this. She couldn’t bear it.

Having spoken, her body began to transform. Her originally charming and seductive body turned fierce and terrifying, and a huge scorpion tail emerged from her back.

Then, the tail quickly gathered energy before shooting through the air towards Ling Xiao. Mid-flight, the energy morphed into the shape of a giant poisonous scorpion.

The massive scorpion, with its fangs bared and claws waving, pierced the resistance of the air. In just a moment, it covered hundreds of meters and arrived behind Ling Xiao. Its gigantic tail viciously struck towards Ling Xiao’s body.

"Dodge!"

Ling Xiao didn’t dare to confront Xie Li head-on. The opponent was too strong. She wasn’t just in the Heavenly Man Realm, nor had she just entered the Cave Heaven Realm; she was a mighty Tenth Cave Heaven Realm expert.

Unless Butterfly Girl stepped in, any direct confrontation would be signing his own death warrant.
