141: Thunderstrike

“He really is a handful!”

Wei Xun was forced back repeatedly by the Scorpion Demon’s strange Sword Qi, almost unable to parry.

The sword in his hand was sometimes soft and sometimes hard, and his swordsmanship was extremely tricky, with every stab coming from a very dangerous angle. If Wei Xun hadn’t reacted quickly, he would have been struck by several blows already.

After more than twenty rounds of combat, cold sweat broke out on Wei Xun’s back.

Clearly, among these three opponents, the Scorpion Demon was the most troublesome.

Only after fighting him one-on-one did Wei Xun understand why this guy, despite being in the Pure Yang Realm, could fight the Monkey King, who was in the Scattered Core Realm, to a standstill.

It turned out that although his cultivation was not high enough, his swordsmanship was simply too difficult to deal with.

“Accept your fate!”

Seeing that Wei Xun was already struggling to parry, the Scorpion Demon sped up his sword swings and pursued him, pressing his advantage.

“I’ll risk it all!”

Wei Xun took a deep breath, then immediately struck out with a palm, unleashing a black mist to block the Scorpion Demon’s vision, and then took the opportunity to pull back and create distance.

At this moment, Wei Xun’s Spiritual Qi was almost depleted; he had just consumed a qi enhancing pill from that fox, and now it was nearly used up again.

Furthermore, Wei Xun was now far from Nine Ze, with no chance to get another one.

Although he had a Cloud Dew Spirit Pill on him that could also replenish Spiritual Qi, this Medicinal Pill replenished Spiritual Qi very slowly, and after taking it, he also had to sit down and spend time digesting the energy that entered his body.

Just as Wei Xun was pondering a countermeasure.

The Scorpion Demon had already broken through the black mist and stabbed a sword towards Wei Xun’s direction again.

“You’re impressive, but I’m not playing anymore!”

Seeing this, Wei Xun had no choice but to immediately use the Earth Escape Technique, submerging underground and disappearing.

His sword strike missed, and the Scorpion Demon’s gaze fixed on the ground, his brows slightly furrowed.

“He actually knows the Earth Escape Technique! You ran fast!”

The Scorpion Demon turned to look in the Monkey King’s direction.

At this moment, the Monkey King was beating the snake demon so badly that he was crying out in pain; the snake demon was no match at all and was clearly about to be defeated.

“It seems I still have to step in!”

After adjusting his breathing, the Scorpion Demon re-gripped his sword, ready to go support.

But just as the Scorpion Demon was about to take a step, a large hand suddenly emerged from underground and directly grabbed his ankle.

“Watch your step!”

Wei Xun suddenly leaped out from the ground, his body already undergoing Gigantification. He grabbed the Scorpion Demon’s foot and spun him violently, smashing the Scorpion Demon against a nearby stone like a sandbag.

The Scorpion Demon hadn’t expected Wei Xun not to escape, and instead to launch a sudden sneak attack.

Being directly smashed against the stone, he instantly felt his internal organs severely damaged.

After Wei Xun succeeded with one blow, he followed up with another punch.

This punch directly struck the Scorpion Demon’s head, making him see stars.

“Enough!”

The Scorpion Demon roared, and a violent Qi instantly exploded from his body, shaking Wei Xun away.

After getting back on his feet, the Scorpion Demon was gasping for breath, his nostrils bleeding from Wei Xun’s punch just now, looking utterly disheveled.

“You really can take a hit!”

Wei Xun took out his iron rod again, unable to help but exclaim.

That punch he threw just now had used all his strength.

He hadn’t expected this Scorpion Demon, who looked frail, to be largely unharmed.

“I’m going to kill you!”

After wiping away the blood flowing from his nose with the back of his hand, the Scorpion Demon gripped his sword and charged at Wei Xun.

His speed was extremely fast, almost piercing Wei Xun the moment he drew his sword.

Fortunately, Wei Xun’s reaction was not slow; he immediately used the Earth Escape Technique to hide underground again, narrowly dodging the attack.

“Do you think I can’t do anything to you just because you burrow underground like a mouse?”

After the Scorpion Demon roared, purple Qi suddenly ignited around his body, and then he stabbed his sword into the ground.

What Wei Xun hadn’t expected was that after the Scorpion Demon’s sword struck the ground, it actually unleashed a Sword Qi that pierced through the ground and came straight underground.

However, this strike was fortunately a bit off, passing just between Wei Xun’s legs.

“Oh my!”

Wei Xun noticed this underground and suddenly felt a chill in his crotch.

But the Scorpion Demon still didn’t give up, continuing to stab wildly at the ground.

Wei Xun could only dodge the attacks like a fish swimming underwater, constantly moving through the soil.

“I need to eat something to replenish myself!”

Wei Xun was drenched in sweat, his Spiritual Qi was almost at rock bottom, and he was nearly out of breath.

The sneak attack just now had completely enraged the Scorpion Demon, so there was no longer any chance for another sneak attack.

As soon as he ran out of breath and had to surface from underground, he would definitely be finished.

Thinking of this, Wei Xun flipped his hand and pulled out several Medicinal Pills.

These Medicinal Pills were all taken from the previous mountain.

However, the purpose of these Medicinal Pills was still unclear.

He had briefly learned a bit of Alchemy from Ming Mountain Daoist these past two days, so he should be able to guess the general effects of the Medicinal Pills by smelling them.

After carefully smelling a few randomly picked Medicinal Pills in his hand, Wei Xun’s brows furrowed.

After distinguishing for a long time, Wei Xun finally identified the smell of one of the Medicinal Pills in his hand.

This Medicinal Pill smelled somewhat similar to the previous qi enhancing pill, but it also had a different scent that Wei Xun had never smelled before.

“I’ll risk it!”

Wei Xun had no other choice but to swallow this Medicinal Pill in one gulp.

Then, Wei Xun indeed felt the Spiritual Qi in his body, which was originally almost depleted, rapidly replenished, and his whole body became hot.

“Let’s finish this quickly!”

Wei Xun was afraid of any side effects from this Medicinal Pill, so he quickly urged the Spiritual Qi within him and surged out onto the ground.

When he saw Wei Xun leap out of the ground, the Scorpion Demon smiled, then aimed the long sword in his hand at Wei Xun’s chest and thrust it fiercely.

However, Wei Xun dodged with a quick back-hop, moving extremely fast.

“This feeling is truly wonderful!”

Wei Xun’s face was flushed, and he was unusually excited. He had been on the verge of exhaustion, but now he felt like he had endless strength.

“Did you take some aphrodisiac?!”

Seeing Wei Xun’s excited expression, the Scorpion Demon gripped his sword and stabbed again.

“Thunder Light Palm!”

Wei Xun unleashed a palm strike with all his might, and instantly, a Thunder Light erupted, transforming into a surging electric pillar.

The Scorpion Demon hadn’t expected Wei Xun to still have the strength to unleash such an attack. Seeing that he couldn’t dodge, he could only use his sword to slash at the oncoming electric pillar.

There was a crackling sound.

What Wei Xun hadn’t expected was that the Scorpion Demon actually managed to split the electric pillar in half.

However, the current still traveled through the Scorpion Demon’s long sword, electrifying his entire body.

After the electric light disappeared, Wei Xun looked at the Scorpion Demon; his face was already blackened with ash, his hair had been electrocuted into curls, and wisps of black smoke were still rising from his head.

“Again!”

Wei Xun laughed and struck out another palm, unleashing an equally thick electric pillar.

Seeing Wei Xun use this move again, the Scorpion Demon ignored the pain throughout his body and leaped up, narrowly dodging the attack.

But at the same time, Wei Xun also leaped up, then flipped his hand and took out an iron hammer, from which bolts of electricity were still emanating.

“Behold my Thunder Strike!”

Wei Xun swung his hammer violently at the Scorpion Demon, giving him no time to dodge. He could only hold his sword horizontally in front of him, attempting to block the attack.
