Chapter 114

（Here I correct one of my mistakes: the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect indeed has five Fighting Emperors, but when it first appeared in the original text, three of them had just broken through recently; in chapter 769, I'm really sorry, I've been busy with the college entrance exam lately, didn't sleep all night yesterday, after the exam I will definitely update more）

Blood dragons soared on the Thunder Scale Spear, heavily smashing Xie Shan to the ground; Xiao Li turned his head and glanced, seeing that Su Mei and the others also had the upper hand, and gave a faint smile.

"You are the sect master of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, aren't you? Today you have lost; go tell that dog emperor of the Chu Yun Empire that if you dare come again, we will destroy your Chu Yun Empire."

Xie Shan's face looked unpleasant; Xiao Li's battle against him was completely one-sided crushing.

"Although I don't know what secret method you used to boost your strength, ten minutes have already passed; I suppose you're about to run out of steam." Xie Shan said gloomily.

Xie Shan seemed intent on delaying time; Xiao Li's heart jolted, an inexplicable sense of desolation rose in his mind, and he raised his long spear to block in front of his chest.

The next moment, a huge force surged forward, and Xiao Li's figure was already flung backward.

Xiao Li spread his wings, halted his retreat, and without the slightest surprise looked at the old man appearing before him; he guessed that Xie Bi Yan had arrived, and the words he had just spoken were merely meant to lure him out.

A withered old figure eerily appeared in midair; he fiercely stomped his staff into the void, and majestic fighting qi burst violently from within, finally forming a light curtain that completely enveloped the space of about ten zhang ahead; the lingering blood-colored lightning in the air seemed to have found its target, then swept over violently, finally producing a sizzling sound as it struck down.

Under the continuous bombardment of the blood-colored lightning, the light curtain rippled with waves, yet it remained stubbornly upright, showing no sign of dissipating.

After the bombardment continued for a while, it finally gradually weakened until it dissipated.

As the Blood Slaughter Heavenly Thunder dissipated, the huge light curtain also gradually faded, revealing the white-haired old man with a slight hunch behind it.

The old man wore ordinary clothes, his aged face expressionless; though his eyes seemed murky, they hid a chilling gleam. In his hand he held a black staff, atop which sat an especially ferocious scorpion head; on the forehead of the scorpion head flickered a faint purple light barely perceptible.

The old man stood suspended in midair, his aura completely restrained within, with no leakage whatsoever; at a glance he looked like an ordinary old man, yet after his appearance, the powerhouses of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect all hurriedly bowed in respect.

"You must be Xie Bi Yan of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, right." Xiao Li calmed the turbulent fighting qi in his dantian, his voice calm.

It seemed he was somewhat curious that Xiao Li could block his palm, and Xie Bi Yan was also a little surprised.

Saying this, Xie Bi Yan's eyes flashed with killing intent; yet in just about ten years, the Xiao Li before him had risen from obscurity to the peak of Fighting Emperor—a talent so extraordinary that even Xie Bi Yan would be shocked upon seeing it.

"Whether you've heard of me or not, I only want to take the head of this old Taoist."

Upon hearing Xiao Li's words, Xie Bi Yan hadn't even spoken when Xie Shan could no longer restrain himself.

"You brat who hasn't even shed your baby hair, how dare you spout such big talk? Against a Fighting Sect expert, one strike would likely reduce you to ashes!" Xie Shan shouted angrily.

Xiao Li wore a sneer; Xie Bi Yan is now no different from the Iron Guardian—both are two-star Fighting Sect—but the latter, with the Soul Hall's techniques, was instantly killed by him, so Xie Bi Yan really isn't worth his notice.

"Fighting Sect? Even under a sneak attack, you couldn't injure a worthless Fighting Emperor?"

Hearing Xiao Li's words, even though Xie Bi Yan's heart was as steady as stone, he couldn't help but feel some ripples.

"Hmph, a brat who talks big." Xie Bi Yan said no more and charged forward first.

Xiao Li's eyes narrowed; although the opponent was not as strong as the Iron Guardian, he could not be taken lightly, after all the Iron Guardian's death was due to the Blood Slaughter Heavenly Thunder's restraint and his own impatience (the author doesn't want to pad).

Xiao Li's gaze narrowed, although the opponent is not as strong as the Iron Guardian, they cannot be taken lightly, after all, the Iron Guardian's death was due to the restraint of the Blood Slaughter Heaven-Exterminating Thunder and haste (author doesn't want to pad).

Xie Bi Yan's body burst forth with green poisonous mist, countless scorpion insects emerging, looking eerie and sinister.

Xie Bi Yan's whole body burst forth with green poisonous mist, countless scorpion insects emerged, looking eerie and chilling.

Myriad blood-colored lightning orbs fell into the poison mist, crackling sounds erupting; countless poisonous insects were blasted into severed limbs and ash by the blood-colored lightning, falling to the ground and corroding into small pits.

Xiao Li's lightning attribute is supremely strong and rigid, specifically countering the lowly, third-rate poison attribute.

Xie Bi Yan's face looked grim; this guy's strength is astonishing—fighting above his level as a Fighting Emperor, he's practically a monster.

"Young man, your edge is indeed sharp; back when I roamed the Chu Yun Empire, you didn't even know which corner to play in mud; even though the new waves push the old, at least I, this old man, haven't been pushed to death yet!" Xie Bi Yan's murky gaze swept over Xiao Li as he spoke lightly.

Immediately afterward, Xie Bi Yan waved both hands, and countless poisonous insects rolled in from the desert's edge, like a green bone-corroding storm; once this move takes effect, likely half of the Thunder Sect and Snake People's forces will be lost.

Xiao Li was not panicked; after fighting this long, he also wasn't without trump cards.

Colorful fighting qi silk swept across heaven and earth, completely blocking the poisonous mist filling the sky; a stunning figure appeared at the desert's edge.

Xie Bi Yan's eyes twitched; "Medusa, you've also broken through to Fighting Sect."

"Hehe, you old coot have broken through, so why can't I?" Medusa snorted coldly, and suddenly three figures leapt from behind her, completely unafraid of the lingering poison mist, charging straight at Xie Bi Yan.

Xie Bi Yan, though well-versed, also lost his voice: "Puppets!"

The three puppets unafraid of the poison mist each possessed the strength of high-level Fighting Emperors.

Taking a glance at the opposing lineup, Xie Bi Yan truly could not muster much confidence; if he didn't leave now, he would likely be left here.

"Hmph, today you're lucky; we'll see how it goes!"

Xie Bi Yan threw down a harsh remark, just about to flee, when he saw his retreat blocked behind by a large force of Snake People warriors, the four leading figures unmistakably being the Snake People's four great elders.

The Snake People had just obtained a suitable fief for themselves, intending to let Xiao Li see their worth, when the Chu Yun Empire sent people; under the backing of hatred, the great elder directly gave the order, helping to wipe out the invading enemy.

Actually, the Chu Yun Empire chose a good moment, taking advantage of Xiao Li and company having just finished a bitter battle resolving the Jia Ma Empire's original forces, leaving them somewhat fatigued; unfortunately, resolving those forces did not consume much of the Thunder Sect's fighting strength.

Or rather, the battle between the Jia Ma Empire and the Thunder Sect had already surpassed the imagination of surrounding empires: six Fighting Sect-level combatants, more than ten Fighting Emperors, completely not on the same level as the Chu Yun Empire.

Xie Bi Yan's face was grim: "All the great elders and I will charge together; if we can escape one, that's one; if we can return to the empire, I don't believe this group that has gone through successive battles would dare to pursue!"

Xie Bi Yan's face fell, "All the elders and I will charge together; whoever can escape, let them escape; whoever can return to the empire, I don't believe this group that has been through successive great battles would still dare to pursue!"
