Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1071: Chapter 1071: The Tragedy of the Scorpion People

”My power is still far from sufficient!”

Ling Xiao couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. On a normal day, he might not have felt anything, but now that he had truly witnessed a Cave Heaven Realm expert fully engaged in battle, he was genuinely shocked.

Boom!

After a series of moves, the yellow sand splashed up tens of meters high, and then Feng Zhan and Xie Li separated again.

At this moment, Feng Zhan’s armor was somewhat damaged, but Xie Li was in even worse condition.

Xie Li was injured in many places, indeed not a match for Feng Zhan.

After all, Feng Zhan himself had a higher Cultivation Level than Xie Li, and as a Martial Artist forged on the battlefield, his combat strength was fiercely stronger than that of other Martial Artists with the same Cultivation Level.

”I’m leaving first!”

Xie Li, who retreated, did not want to continue fighting with Feng Zhan because continuing this fight would surely lead to her defeat.

She leaped high into the air and shot forward.

”Think you can escape?”

Feng Zhan sneered coldly as he threw the Long Spear in his hand directly, which transformed into a long snake in mid-air, aiming a bite at Xie Li.

”Scorpion Secret Technique: Molt!”

In a moment of crisis, Xie Li suddenly twisted her body and disappeared into the yellow sand.

What Feng Zhan’s Long Spear stabbed was only an empty shell left behind by a scorpion.

”Damn it!”

Seeing this, Feng Zhan was incredibly annoyed. Although he was much stronger than Xie Li, it was still extremely difficult to kill her in the desert.

It was embarrassing to let an opponent escape when you had them firmly under control.

Right then, Ling Xiao saw Mu Tu make a move.

In an instant, Mu Tu stretched out his hand and the Sky-covering Big Hand slapped towards the yellow sand and then grabbed upwards.

Poor Xie Li, having gone to great lengths to dodge Feng Zhan’s attack, still stood no chance against Mu Tu.

Witnessing this, Ling Xiao was so scared he didn’t dare to move an inch.

Timmerman Muto, truly worthy of being a Yin-Yang Realm powerhouse, had Xie Li utterly powerless in his grasp.

”A mere little scorpion thinking to escape my methods? Ridiculous. Feng Zhan, let’s go. Xie Li is just a minor character, the key target this time is the Scorpion King, with the treasure also in the Scorpion King’s hands.”

Two sharp lights shot from Mu Tu’s eyes, and Xie Li instantly became stupefied.

Ling Xiao grew even more tense.

This old monster could even use Soul Power, truly frightening.

”This subordinate obeys.”

Feng Zhan, who originally feared that Mu Tu would blame him, realized that Mu Tu didn’t bring up that matter at all.

”You don’t need to blame yourself too much. Within the Highly Poisonous Desert, Scorpion people and Lizard people both have innate advantages. This time, our alliance with the Lizard people to fight against the Scorpion people is a helpless move.”

Timmerman Muto said indifferently.

”Those Lizard people are not easier to deal with than the Scorpion people, and they each have wild ambitions and insatiable greed.”

Feng Zhan frowned and said.

”What’s there to fear, after the dog-eat-dog fight, how much fighting power will they have left? By then, we’ll just take advantage of the situation. Once we level the Scorpion Tribe and the Lizard Tribe, and find the young prince, Her Majesty the Queen won’t have much to say.”

Timmerman Muto revealed a brutal smile.

”This old dog really is ruthless, employing a strategy of setting a tiger to fight a wolf.”

Ling Xiao listened with precision, feeling sorrow for both the Scorpion Tribe and Lizard Tribe in his heart.

It was only after Mu Tu and Feng Zhan walked far away that Ling Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, he was considering whether to leave or spoil Mu Tu’s plans.

From what Mu Tu had hinted, the Scorpion Tribe apparently possessed a treasure capable of locating Jiumo Zhiyan. If this were true, then evading Mu Tu’s pursuit would be very difficult.

Thus, Mu Tu must not be allowed to acquire that treasure!

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the Yellow Bird behind.

Ling Xiao decided to be the Yellow Bird this time.

To not only wreck Mu Tu’s plans but also to protect himself; otherwise, he doubted he’d reach Northern Desert City alive.

After swallowing a Revival Spirit Pill and a Rejuvenation Pill, Ling Xiao chose to utilize both the protection of Shadow Step and Shadow Armor.

He wasn’t Timmerman Muto; he lacked such formidable strength, so he had to be more covert, avoiding the pursuit of those fellows as much as possible.

About fifteen minutes later, the Scorpion Tribe’s stronghold appeared before Ling Xiao.

This stronghold, differing from a city, seemed crude, but it stood mountain-backed, with natural defenses acting as barriers.

To enter the stronghold, one must pass through the natural defenses.

Once detected, one would become a target, and countless arrows would fly towards you.

But Ling Xiao was in luck.

Upon arrival, he discovered the stronghold had been utterly destroyed; it was reduced to ruins now, scattered with the corpses of the Scorpion people among the hills.

Ling Xiao was currently utilizing Shadow Step, but even without it, it was unlikely anyone would notice him now.

Because the guards were all dead.

”Supreme experts are truly terrifying. A single person capable of destroying an entire city... It’s lucky that Northern Desert City had Array Formations for protection, otherwise, without needing so many people, just Mu Tu alone could have demolished it.”

Ling Xiao’s emotions amplified within.

Being powerful was indeed the ultimate goal for Martial Artists. What did it matter how many soldiers there were?

In the end, they were merely flags manipulated by the powerful.

”Hehehe, Xie Li, you used to be so arrogant, so high and mighty. And now? I said I would have you, and so I shall, even the Scorpion King can’t stop me!”

Suddenly, as Ling Xiao moved forward, he heard a voice laden with a sleazy laugh.

He stealthily approached.

And then he saw Xie Li from before, bound with ropes and with several points on her body restrained to block off her Inner Strength.

Her clothes were torn, clearly ripped by the Scorpion man standing in front of her.

”Xie Mang! How dare you collude with Timmerman Muto and the Lizard Clan against our Scorpion Tribe, you traitor. The King will not let you off!”

Xie Li struggled and roared furiously.

”Tsk tsk, all that you say is pointless, you are my captive now, I will play with you however I wish. The angrier you are, the happier I get, hahaha!”

Xie Mang’s eyes gleamed with malice as he grabbed Xie Li’s chin, yet his gaze wandered to a line of sight on her body.

”Anyone who rescues me, I, Xie Li, will be willing to serve as their master for life!”

Xie Li suddenly said this to several Lizard people who were watching the excitement.

”Tsk tsk, that’s a tempting offer, Xie Mang. Just hand this woman over to us.”

The Lizard people, being less powerful than Xie Mang, still had their status elevated after the large-scale invasion of the Scorpion Tribe by the Lizard Clan, with Timmerman Muto’s help and the inside-outside cooperation of Xie Mang; they had nearly wiped out the high-level experts of the Scorpion Tribe.

Therefore, the standing of the Lizard Clan naturally rose considerably, and though Xie Mang was strong, he didn’t dare to offend the people of the Lizard Clan.
