60: Quick Kill

Since the first day of school, Chen Qing had not made a move in reality.

A second-tier Yao Beast was just right to consecrate his blade for this outing!

Chen Qing dragged the shark tooth, which was like a sword and a saber, quickened his pace, bypassed a few people, and charged towards the second-tier Spirit Tail Scorpion.

The few people looked at the young man, who was unfamiliar to them and did not seem like a veteran who frequently appeared on the battlefield.

One of them saw him charging towards the back and couldn't help but shout, "Classmate, you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw a sky-blue saber light soar into the sky!

It struck one of the Spirit Tail Scorpion's pincers with a single blow!

"Buzz!"

The massive saber light directly severed the Spirit Tail Scorpion's pincer at its root!

The Spirit Tail Scorpion roared to the sky, letting out a cry of pain, and its massive scorpion tail stabbed towards Chen Qing's face!

Chen Qing's expression remained unchanged; he instantly conjured ice-blue walls in front of him, blocking the momentum of the attack.

"Crack!"

The second-tier Spirit Tail Scorpion's tail had immense power, instantly piercing through the ice walls!

However, the tail's momentum was also stopped, hovering in mid-air.

Chen Qing's eyes narrowed; he seized the opportunity, gripped his saber tightly with his right hand, and unleashed a saber light even larger than the previous one!

"Buzz!"

The saber light vibrated the air, striking the base of the Spirit Tail Scorpion's tail.

The Spirit Tail Scorpion cried out in pain, and a deep saber mark appeared at the tough base of its tail!

Chen Qing frowned, looking down at the ice crystal long saber in his hand, which was already shattered.

Although he had not yet successfully Cultivated the Nine Refinements of Divine Consciousness, with his Breakthrough to the first-tier Peak, his Mental Energy had also smoothly surpassed the major threshold of 3, reaching a level where it could be perceived.

Recently, he had also been trying to attach Mental Energy to the ice he conjured.

However, the effect was not too good, and it did not possess the same toughness as the burly man he encountered in the Ice God Space.

Nevertheless, the ice crystal long saber he now conjured was indeed much tougher than before.

Without time to think further, Chen Qing discarded the broken ice crystal long saber, and a flash of light in his hand revealed a black greatsword.

One side was a sharp blade, the other was serrated!

The evil saber, shark tooth!

However, Chen Qing currently preferred to use it as a saber.

His footsteps did not stop; with a flash, he dodged another tail sting from the Spirit Tail Scorpion.

The Spirit Tail Scorpion became ferocious, and a purplish-black halo suddenly condensed on its sharp tail sting!

"Whoosh!"

A blob of purplish-black liquid arrived in an instant, shooting towards Chen Qing.

"It's scorpion venom!"

"Be careful! Don't let it touch you!"

By the gate, the few people who had fled had now stopped; they hadn't expected this young man to possess such strength, capable of directly confronting a second-tier Spirit Tail Scorpion!

But the most fatal characteristic of the Spirit Tail Scorpion was the potent venom it sprayed from its tail!

Once touched, it would completely incapacitate the opponent in a short time, leaving them at its mercy!

However, they didn't need to remind him; in the next moment, Chen Qing's figure gradually blurred, leaving only an illusory afterimage in place, while his true body suddenly vanished!

"Pfft!"

Behind the Spirit Tail Scorpion, a cold glint struck the wound on its back, which was already half-broken.

This time, it was not so lucky; the sharpness of the alloy weapon was far superior to the ice crystal long saber Chen Qing currently conjured.

The Spirit Tail Scorpion's entire tail was severed at its root, falling to the ground!

Chen Qing stepped out of the Ice Prism Mirror, extended his left hand, and gently wiped the severed tail; the entire Spirit Tail disappeared.

Good stuff!

When Chen Qing first saw this Spirit Tail Scorpion, he recognized it; he had done his homework on the Spirit Tail Scorpion's information before coming.

Although it wasn't his mission objective this time, its tail was very valuable to a Martial Artist and could fetch a lot of money.

Even if he kept it to eat himself, it would be a great tonic.

So Chen Qing immediately put it into his storage pendant.

And the Spirit Tail Scorpion, having lost its tail, was like a snake with its vital point severed, roaring to the sky, full of unwillingness.

"Pfft!"

Chen Qing showed no expression; he stabbed his saber into its forehead, piercing the Spirit Tail Scorpion clean through.

"What are you yelling about?! You're a second-tier Yao Beast, yet so vulnerable!"

Chen Qing felt that this Spirit Tail Scorpion's strength was roughly equivalent to a human first-tier Peak, most likely due to incomplete Cultivation, relying too much on its scorpion venom.

This was similar to Martial Artists who relied too much on their abilities and did not focus on physical Cultivation.

Beside them, the few people who were about to leave the Qi Ling Star Battlefield exchanged glances, somewhat speechless.

Someone actually thought the Spirit Tail Scorpion was vulnerable!

The most daunting aspect of the Spirit Tail Scorpion was its venomous attack, coupled with its hard shell; even human Martial Artists at the high stage of the second tier found it difficult to deal with.

However, this person in front of them looked very young!

He should be under 20 years old.

He actually ended the battle quickly in less than 1 minute.

Seeing his skilled movements in putting the scorpion tail into his storage space, it was as if the battle just now was as easy as eating and drinking for him!

"This person looks very young, most likely a participant in this year's All-Federation Youth Martial Dao Competition!" a girl said to her teammates beside her.

The others nodded.

They were also going to participate in it; this Martial Dao Competition was the first since the establishment of the Federation.

Previously, there were only inter-school exchange competitions, but this time, the scale of the competition was unprecedentedly huge, and it was open to all people in the Federation under 20 years old!

Almost no one wanted to miss this grand event.

Having just come out to temper themselves, they saw such a clean and decisive young man in battle, which made them pay more attention to and look forward to this grand Federation event.

"Whew~ Let's go. We also need to redouble our efforts. Although we haven't reached the second tier yet, we must work hard to reach the second tier before the qualifiers begin!"

Although they hadn't been in long this time, they had sustained many injuries and needed to go back to recuperate.

As they prepared to leave, they noticed that Chen Qing did not bother with the Spirit Tail Scorpion's corpse but left directly.

"Classmate! Don't you want the Spirit Tail Scorpion's corpse? A second-tier Spirit Tail Scorpion's corpse can sell for a lot of money!" a girl in the team shouted loudly, reminding the departing Chen Qing.

Chen Qing turned back, looked at the girl, and smiled, "No, I don't! Storage space is limited!"

He had just arrived, and this wasn't his goal; taking away the most valuable scorpion tail was enough.

The girl's eyes lit up slightly, and she cautiously asked, "Then can we take it away?"

Chen Qing nodded, then turned and left.

"Captain, we've struck it rich! A second-tier Spirit Tail Scorpion, even without its tail, many people will be scrambling to buy it! The school's mission points should also have exchange missions!"

...Passing through the gate, the few people saw Old Huang, the gatekeeper, again.

Old Huang saw the second-tier Spirit Tail Scorpion corpse they dragged out with their bare hands and smiled, "Not bad! You guys actually managed to take down a second-tier Spirit Tail Scorpion, much better than those few brats who just left!"

The few people were a bit embarrassed and didn't know how to respond; it was the girl who had reminded Chen Qing who spoke up, "No, Old Huang, this Spirit Tail Scorpion wasn't killed by us!

A young man just went in, and with one person and one saber, he easily dealt with it."

As she spoke, the girl gestured with her hands twice.

Old Huang's eyes narrowed slightly, and Chen Qing's figure appeared in his mind.

He had misjudged him.
