Chapter 340: The Powerful Poison Scorpion Beast Lord!
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Bella had to use all her strength just to suppress the poison.
After returning to her normal state, she coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.
Her face still held a faint, dark bluish tint.
She was in terrible shape.
Bella said weakly, "I underestimated the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord’s power. It’s gotten stronger."
Li Wei looked at her and asked, "How are you doing now?"
Bella replied, "I’m not dead yet."
"Cough, cough, cough..."
She coughed up more blood and wiped the stains from the corner of her mouth.
She gave a bitter smile. "But I can’t help you anymore."
Li Wei said, "Leave the rest to me."
He strode toward the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord.
Lilith kept pace with him.
"I’ll help you."
The shadows at Lilith’s feet spread out.
She summoned the Shadow Legion.
Countless Shadow Creatures burst forth from beneath her, swarming toward the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord.
The Shadow Creatures bore the brunt of the attack, crashing into the Poison Scorpion Beasts first.
They tied up most of the Poison Scorpion Beasts, buying Li Wei a chance to get close to the Lord.
The Shadow Creatures weren’t powerful; many were only Tiers One and Two.
However, their ability to ignore physical attacks made them sufficient for holding back the Poison Scorpion Beasts.
The Poison Scorpion Beast Lord turned to look at Li Wei and Lilith.
Its eyes burned with rage.
’It despised these damn humans. It was bad enough that they kept trespassing on its territory. But how dare they slaughter its subjects and descendants right here on its own land? They were courting death! They had chosen the path to their own demise!’
The Poison Scorpion Beast Lord took a step and strode toward Li Wei.
SQUELCH!
It crushed several Shadow Creatures that got too close.
The Poison Scorpion Beast Lord’s entire body was covered in a potent venom, a poison so strong it could even kill the Shadow Creatures.
The Shadow Creatures that approached the Lord died one after another.
Lilith watched calmly as her Shadow Creatures marched to their deaths, feeling not a single ripple of emotion.
Under her control, the Shadow Domain spread to the feet of the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord.
Countless Shadow Tentacles shot out from the Shadow Domain, wrapping around the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord’s body.
It was as if innumerable octopuses were extending their tentacles from the shadows, trying to drag the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord into the Shadow Domain.
The Poison Scorpion Beast Lord easily snapped the Shadow Tentacles.
But the tentacles still managed to hinder its movements for a moment and obscure its vision.
Li Wei seized the opportunity to unleash his Blade of Judgment.
WHOOSH!
The Blade of Judgment locked onto the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord and shot toward it at extreme speed.
Once locked onto, the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord instinctively sensed mortal danger.
A powerful aura erupted from its body.
Purple, toxic energy surged forth, forming a shell of energy around it.
The Blade of Judgment struck the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord’s energy shell.
The Demon-Breaking Rune that Valen had inscribed on the Blade of Judgment played a crucial role.
Like a hot knife through butter, the Blade of Judgment easily sliced through the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord’s energy shell.
The Poison Scorpion Beast Lord’s tail swept out, striking the flat side of the Blade of Judgment and knocking it away.
Li Wei’s eyes narrowed, a look of surprise on his face.
’So close. The Blade of Judgment almost killed the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord. I didn’t expect its reaction to be so fast, or its attack so precise. If its tail had struck the blade’s edge just now, it would already be dead.’
The edge of the Blade of Judgment was inscribed with runes for sharpness and keenness, making it effortlessly Armor-Piercing.
Before the Blade of Judgment, the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord’s tough carapace was utterly fragile.
Li Wei recalled the Blade of Judgment.
The Blade of Judgment hovered over his palm.
He gazed at the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord, knowing that relying solely on the Blade of Judgment’s auto-targeting attack wouldn’t be enough to defeat a Tier Six Peak Poison Scorpion Beast Lord.
He had to show it what he was really made of.
RUSTLE RUSTLE RUSTLE!
SWOOSH!
An ear-piercing whoosh cut through the air.
A Tier Four Poison Scorpion Beast had gotten close to Li Wei, its venom-tipped tail striking at his back with astonishing speed.
BANG!
The Poison Scorpion Beast was sent flying into the sky by a surge of Shadow Energy that erupted from the ground.
Countless sharp shadow spikes stabbed into the Poison Scorpion Beast’s body like knives.
In an instant, its body was run through, and the Poison Scorpion Beast was torn to shreds.
Li Wei glanced back at Lilith.
Lilith said, "Leave the other Poison Scorpion Beasts to me. You focus on the Lord."
Li Wei nodded and turned back to face the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord.
He was a little surprised by Lilith’s power.
’It seems that during their time in the Elemental Tower, Haros helped Lilith uncover a good deal of her potential.’
Li Wei had seen Lilith’s past in his dreams.
He knew that an incredibly vast Power was hidden within her.
However, she used to have great difficulty controlling this Power.
Neither Lilia nor Lilith was the original master of this Power.
The master of that Power was a black cat.
Li Wei didn’t know the black cat’s origins either.
’Of course, what he saw in the dream might have been fake. Dreams are a mix of truth and lies; they can’t be trusted until they’re verified.’
But the fact that there was a formidable Power within Lilith was beyond doubt.
What was questionable was the source of this Power.
Li Wei focused his attention back on dealing with the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord.
The Poison Scorpion Beast Lord saw that the thing that had posed such a great threat to it moments ago came from Li Wei.
It launched its most ferocious attack at him without hesitation.
A blast of purple, toxic energy shot toward Li Wei’s chest.
This was the same move that had heavily injured Bella.
But Li Wei didn’t dodge or evade.
BOOM!
The purple toxic energy struck Li Wei, exploding and engulfing his figure.
A triumphant look appeared in the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord’s eyes.
’Anyone hit by that move is guaranteed to die! Bella is just holding on; without an antidote, she’ll die sooner or later too.’
Feeling triumphant, the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord let its guard down slightly.
Suddenly, it sensed danger approaching.
Looking up, it saw a Blue Fireball descending from the sky.
The Poison Scorpion Beast Lord froze. It saw Li Wei appear in midair.
’Then what was that thing it just hit?’
The glow of the purple toxic energy faded.
Li Wei’s Illusory Body gradually vanished into thin air.
From the very beginning, Li Wei hadn’t used his real body.
He didn’t need to be there in person to use the Blade of Judgment; the Illusory Body was sufficient.
The Poison Scorpion Beast Lord was baffled by the scene before it.
It quickly recovered and launched an attack at the airborne Li Wei.
Although the descending Blue Fireball felt threatening, it wasn’t enough to be life-threatening.
The Poison Scorpion Beast Lord was far more wary of the Blade of Judgment in Li Wei’s hand.
Therefore, it would rather take the hit from the Blue Fireball to kill Li Wei first.
WHOOSH!
FWOOSH!
Li Wei flew to dodge the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord’s attack.
The attack was too fast. He couldn’t dodge completely, and his arm was grazed.
CRACK CRACK CRACK!
In an instant, more than thirty layers of his Invisible Armor shattered.
The attack’s power was astounding.
Furthermore, the purple toxic energy continued to corrode the Invisible Armor.
The Invisible Armor was continuously being destroyed.
In the end, fifty-two layers had to be shattered to completely consume all the purple toxic energy.
The Blue Fireball also smashed down onto the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord.
BOOM!
The Poison Scorpion Beast Lord raised an Energy Shield, completely unconcerned by the force of the explosion.
The instant the explosion occurred, the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord suddenly felt the threat level of the Blue Fireball skyrocket.
It had reached a level capable of killing it!
