37: Crazy Scorpion
After yet another victory, Wei Xun obtained another pot of quenching demon wine.
Although he still didn't know the specific effects of this pot of wine, seeing the envious expressions of the demons watching from below, Wei Xun could guess that this wine was probably not an ordinary item.
Following that, no third challenger appeared from among the demon crowd for a long time, which made Wei Xun a bit awkward.
Could it be that he won his first two matches too easily, making it so that no demon dared to challenge him on stage anymore?
Just as Wei Xun was reflecting on whether he should be more low-key, a demon had already stepped onto the arena.
"Frenzy Scorpion Instructor, under General Poison Claw, comes to seek guidance!" The one who appeared was a bare-chested Scorpion Demon.
This Scorpion Demon had four arms, and after appearing, he grabbed into the air, and a metal whip resembling a scorpion's tail actually appeared.
"Look quickly, that's Frenzy Scorpion Instructor's Lifebound Weapon!"
"Wow, how amazing!"
Hearing the cheers of the demons around him, Wei Xun simultaneously used his Spirit Seeking Eyes to observe.
This demon named Mad Scorpion had more Spiritual Qi light spots on his body than the previous two demons.
It seemed he was probably at the Body Tempering Realm Second Layer or even Third Layer.
After Wei Xun also greeted him, this time he did not act rashly.
Since Fox Elder wanted him to win, there must be a reason for it, so he definitely had to take the upcoming challenge seriously.
After the challenge began, Mad Scorpion swung the metal whip in his hand and struck towards Wei Xun.
The metal whip in his hand was shaped like a nine-section whip, and the tip of the whip was even like a scorpion's tail with a venomous stinger.
Seeing this, Wei Xun could only use Shadowless Step to continuously evade on the arena, not rushing to attack.
Because the metal whip in Mad Scorpion's hand was wielded very strangely, his four arms swung alternately, and each attack angle was exceptionally tricky.
If Wei Xun hadn't reacted quickly, several dangerous attacks would have almost hit him.
Seeing Mad Scorpion suppress Wei Xun on the arena, many demons began to cheer, and some even cheered for Mad Scorpion.
"A flaw!" As Mad Scorpion launched his attack, he noticed a flaw in Wei Xun's evasion, so he suddenly spun his body, pulling back the metal whip that had been thrust out and then re-stabbing it upwards at a concealed angle.
At this moment, Wei Xun had just dodged and landed when he saw the venomous stinger on the metal whip flying towards his eyes.
It was too late to dodge now.
In this critical situation, Wei Xun could only concentrate all his spiritual power on his face, and immediately used the Rock Armor Cultivation Technique to directly strengthen the part about to be struck by the metal whip, and closed his eyes.
Clang~
With a muffled thud, the metal whip hit Wei Xun's head, causing Wei Xun to fall to the ground.
Seeing this, Mad Scorpion's mouth instantly curved into a smug expression, seemingly confident of victory; once struck by the venomous stinger on his whip's tail, even the generals in the mountain would likely be poisoned, let alone being directly hit in the face.
"That was close!" But what all the demons present didn't expect was that Wei Xun, who had been hit in the face by the metal whip, actually sprang back up with a Carp leap.
And the spot on his face where he had been hit by the metal whip now only showed some scrapes and swelling; the whip's venomous stinger had not caused a wound, and the venom naturally had not entered Wei Xun's body.
"How could he be fine!" Mad Scorpion looked incredulous; in battles against demons of the same Realm, no demon he had hit had ever been able to be as seemingly unharmed as Wei Xun.
"Your strength is very good!" Wei Xun praised, then threw the spear in his hand to the ground, then grabbed into the air with his right hand, and his Lifebound Weapon instantly appeared in his hand.
Seeing that Wei Xun also had a Lifebound Weapon, the surrounding lesser demons were even more surprised.
One must know that only demons with outstanding talent could Cultivate a Lifebound Weapon; among the more than one hundred demons on Black Tiger Mountain, at most only twenty or so knew this move.
Seeing the black spear in Wei Xun's hand, Mad Scorpion put away his smug expression and looked serious, not daring to underestimate him.
"It's my turn!" As Wei Xun said this, he stomped heavily on the ground and directly thrust out his spear, Shadowless Step instantly exploding with its fastest speed.
"So fast!" When Mad Scorpion saw the spear, its tip was already close at hand.
Although he immediately tried to dodge by turning sideways, it was clearly too late.
If Wei Xun had not held back, this spear would have directly pierced through Mad Scorpion's eye and come out the back of his head.
However, Wei Xun still adhered to the principle of causing less trouble and making fewer enemies, so this spear only grazed the side of Mad Scorpion's face, leaving a thin scar on his face.
But even with such a scar, the venom released from Wei Xun's spear tip had already entered his body.
"Hmm!" Feeling the discomfort in his body, Mad Scorpion touched the wound on his face, and because he also used poison, he immediately reacted: "Poison!"
Immediately after, Mad Scorpion felt his whole body's muscles become somewhat numb, and white foam seemed to be flowing from his mouth.
Although Wei Xun had used poison in that last attack, he controlled the amount, not releasing much.
So, the poisoned Mad Scorpion only felt discomfort throughout his body and could not continue fighting; if given time to recover, he would be fine in half a day.
"I concede!" Seeing this, Mad Scorpion knew he was poisoned and could no longer mobilize the Spiritual Qi within his body, so he simply announced his surrender directly.
Thus, Wei Xun once again won the third challenge, and naturally obtained the third gourd of quenching demon wine.
With Mad Scorpion's loss, no demon dared to go on stage to challenge for a long time, and there was a lot of pushing and shoving below, which made the Tiger King on the high platform turn livid.
Wei Xun also clearly noticed the change in the Tiger King's expression and somewhat regretted winning the match just now.
The Tiger King letting him go first was clearly to let other demons teach him a lesson and vent his anger.
But how could he have expected that instead of venting anger, he won three gourds of quenching demon wine, and even beat the Instructors so badly that none dared to step up.
"Since no one dares to step up, this General will have a go with you!" Just then, the Bald Vulture on the high platform suddenly leaped up and landed directly in the middle of the arena.
In an instant, Wei Xun felt an extremely strong pressure.
The moment he activated his Spirit Seeking Eyes to observe, Wei Xun was startled.
The Spiritual Qi light spots on this Bald Vulture looked dense and numerous; he was definitely not at the Body Tempering Realm Cultivation.
Although his strength was not comparable to the Tiger King, he was at least a Pure Yang Realm existence.
Although Wei Xun was confident in defeating a demon at the Body Tempering Realm Third Layer, it would be unlikely to defeat a Pure Yang Realm demon by transcending Realms.
Moreover, even if he had a way to defeat this Old Vulture, he couldn't possibly do so.
He was a newcomer who had only been here a few days, and if he defeated a General, that would be too arrogant.
Wei Xun certainly understood the Dao of 'the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind'.
"This Grey Fur is no ordinary fellow, to actually force a General to take action!"
"That's for sure, I think this Grey Fur's good days are probably over."
