Chapter 1217: Dragon God Step
If it weren't for the Male Vermilion Bird giving him the Phoenix Feather, Ling Feng wouldn't have been able to reach the central area, and now he has even adopted two Little Vermilion Birds, so Ling Feng feels the need to repay the favor.
Moreover, the Scorpion King had actually led a vast swarm of Red Scorpions to besiege him; Ling Feng could no longer let the Scorpion King off.
Ling Feng took a few steps forward, then stretched out his hand and beckoned to the Scorpion King, his eyes full of contempt.
The Scorpion King, as the King of the Red Canyon, was an existence that could evenly rival the Vermilion Bird. When had anyone ever looked at it with such a disdainful eye?
It emitted obscure notes, and the Red Scorpions all opened up a path.
A duel, a kingly duel! The Scorpion King decided to take matters into its own hands and tear apart this fellow who dared to scorn its authority.
Ling Feng raised his eyebrows; a one-on-one fight was exactly what he hoped for, and ordinary Red Scorpions couldn't do much against him.
The Scorpion King flicked its five tails, and Power of Thunder and Lightning filled its entire body.
Ling Feng sneered coldly and said, "Scorpion King, I'm no longer who I used to be. If you underestimate me, you'll pay with your life!"
As soon as the words fell, Ling Feng had already vanished from the Scorpion King's sight, followed by a shadow appearing below its belly.
With a crack, the Scorpion King's response was extremely swift; a Thunder Power followed closely, intending to engulf Ling Feng, but Ling Feng's speed exceeded the Scorpion King's expectations.
The Thunder Power didn't hit Ling Feng; on the contrary, the Scorpion King's belly was struck by Ling Feng with no fewer than ten punches! Each punch was powerful, carrying the strength of a thousand tons!
The Scorpion King staggered, and although its shell wasn't damaged, it felt a shock in its internal organs.
The Scorpion King was furious; a mere human had actually hurt it, and this was absolutely unforgivable.
All five of the Scorpion King's tails began to move, and Power of Thunder and Fire engulfed its body, covering the area around it and even cutting off Ling Feng's way of retreat.
"Oh no, Ling Feng is in danger!" The Bright Saintess shouted anxiously, even Mona Lisa and Tama showed serious expressions.
Only Xuanyuan Xia's face was calm: "Don't worry, Ling Feng won't be at a disadvantage. However, I didn't expect his Dragon God Steps would reach this level; it seems he has indeed improved quite a bit."
Xuanyuan Xia could see at once that Ling Feng was using the Dragon God Steps from the Dragon God Technique to dodge the Scorpion King's attacks! If it wasn't for an attacker with God Realm strength, Ling Feng could already remain undefeated just by using these Dragon God Steps!
It can be expected that the following scenes would be the Scorpion King being beaten unilaterally.
"This is almost like cheating." Xuanyuan Xia shook her head: "Poor Scorpion King, you really shouldn't have appeared!"
Sure enough, just as Xuanyuan Xia predicted, the following scenes became unbearable for the Bright Saintess and the others to watch. Ling Feng turned into a ghost-like shadow, continually attacking the Scorpion King from all sides.
The Scorpion King was extremely furious; its every attack was immensely powerful, but for some reason, not a single attack landed on Ling Feng, while quite a few surrounding Red Scorpions were accidentally killed.
Within a few minutes, Ling Feng himself lost track of how many fist imprints he left on the Scorpion King. Although the Scorpion King's defense was abnormal, each of Ling Feng's attacks caused a certain amount of damage to its internal organs, which over time, when the Scorpion King felt excruciating pain internally, it was already too late!
Roar! Ling Feng bellowed, a punch descended from the sky, hitting heavily upon the Scorpion King's head. The Scorpion King's huge body shook, then collapsed with a heavy thud, and the five sturdy scorpion tails also slammed onto the ground significantly.
"Is that it? So simple and crude!" Les Saint Heir rubbed his eyes, somewhat disbelieving.
"If the scorpion isn't dead after two thousand three hundred punches, it might as well become a god!" Xuanyuan Xia said lightly: "Although the scorpion's surface shows no signs of injury, inside it's already shaken to pulp by Ling Feng."
Les looked at Ling Feng with some awe; this scorpion had chased them to a ridiculous extent, yet it was killed by Ling Feng, and it was even the Scorpion King among the scorpions. Just how powerful had Ling Feng's strength become?
Thinking about this question, Les couldn't help but shiver.
Huff, huff, huff! Ling Feng sat next to the Scorpion King, breathing heavily.
"You've practiced your Dragon God Step well, but surely it's quite draining for you, isn't it? If the Scorpion King had held out for a few more minutes, it likely would've been you who ended up losing!" Xuanyuan Xia teased.
Ling Feng rolled his eyes: "A few minutes? If the Scorpion King hadn't died, I'd have had to prepare to flee ahead of time! However, this Scorpion King truly is thick-skinned; its interiors were shattered, but its shell remained almost intact!"
"That's because the Scorpion King also has the bloodline of ancient Exotic Beasts within its body." Xuanyuan Xia explained: "However, as it's been passed down to now, it's become faded and unrecognizable. I can't even discern what Exotic Beast bloodline the Scorpion King possesses internally."
Ling Feng's mind stirred, and the Devil's Ring flashed, collecting the Scorpion King's corpse. This Scorpion King was a treasure all over; it would be a pity to just discard it.
Not to mention, those five scorpion tails alone were excellent materials.
With the Scorpion King dead, the surrounding scorpion swarm also dispersed and disappeared like sand.
A few days later, with the Red Canyon behind them, Ling Feng and his companions, wind-blown and dusty, exclaimed, "Finally... we finally made it out of the Red Canyon! It's been so difficult!"
Les Saint Heir and his companions from the Dark Church almost cried. Although they gained nothing following Ling Feng, at least their lives were preserved.
"Ling Feng, since we've already left the Red Canyon, how about we part ways here?" Les said to Ling Feng anxiously.
If Ling Feng disagreed, they could only continue following him; after all, Ling Feng's team had more strong members.
"Why such a rush to leave?" Ling Feng looked at Les and said, "Les Saint Heir, didn't we agree to work together?"
Les internally grumbled, wondering what kind of cooperation this was, where Ling Feng took the meat, drank the soup, and left nothing for them. What kind of cooperation was this?
Although following Ling Feng offered higher security, Les also noticed that whenever something valuable was found, he'd have no share; the previous Scorpion King's corpse was an example!
Les watched eagerly as Ling Feng collected everything into his Space Ring. It was too unfair; even leaving them a scorpion leg would've been nice!
