228: Desperate counterattack

The Scorpion Lord was able to become the overlord of the Poison Mist Forest and raise the status of the Poison Mist Forest to a level feared by all demons, primarily because of its terrifying ability to control poison!

Poison, whether for humans or demon beasts, is something that cannot be immunized against under normal physical conditions, let alone toxins released by high-rank demon beasts, which are even more powerful!

However, the harsh reality was that the Scorpion Lord's poison was actually ineffective against Fang Bai!

This meant that its advantage could not be utilized at all!

This could be considered a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse; it had the will but lacked the power!

Fang Bai was full of excitement. When he discovered that the opponent's poison was ineffective against him and that its strength could not threaten his life, his expression immediately changed!

"Hehehe! An Eighth-Rank Demon Lord? Hand it over!"

Fang Bai's momentum immediately climbed to a peak, and he once again took the initiative to charge towards the Scorpion Lord!

The latter snorted coldly, "Foolish human, even if you can immunize against this master's toxins, this master is an Eighth-Rank after all. You are far from being this master's opponent!"

After speaking, the Scorpion Lord was about to let Fang Bai feel the gap in strength, but the next second...

Boom!

Its attack not only failed to repel Fang Bai, but instead, it suffered heavy injuries itself, its body flying backward!

The Scorpion Lord: ???

Wait, what about the gap in levels? What about the chasm in realms? Did the combat power collapse?

Even a monster genius shouldn't be able to jump levels like this, right?

The Scorpion Lord crashed into a large mountain, looking incredibly disheveled!

Yet Fang Bai's momentum rose instead of falling!

Although there is a certain gap between a pseudo-Eighth-Rank and a true Eighth-Rank, under the stacking of Fang Bai's buffs, these gaps could be compensated for!

Fang Bai felt that he could slay a Demon Lord today!

Excited! Thrilled!

However, a Demon Lord wasn't as easy to kill as he had imagined. The Scorpion Lord roared, and with terrifying power, it instantly collapsed the entire mountain. Its body slammed toward Fang Bai like lightning!

The latter dared not be careless and exerted all his strength to meet the opponent's impact!

Had he been even slightly weaker, the result might have been different!

The great battle between the two also attracted the attention of many Demon Kings.

"How is this possible? That human can actually rival a Demon Lord?"

The White Horse stared at that figure with a solemn expression, its face full of doubt about its demon life.

When the opponent was being swarmed by them, he didn't possess such strength!

Could it be that he held back?

How could that be? With that human looking like he wanted to kill them, how could he have held back?

At this moment, the group of Demon Kings could only watch the battle, because they couldn't interfere in a battle at the Demon Lord level, and they couldn't get too close either, because if they were not careful, they might be caught in the crossfire!

Fang Bai, incredibly excited, engaged in a fierce confrontation with the Scorpion Lord. He ignored the opponent's poison skills and chose the most primitive hand-to-hand combat!

The dull thuds of punches landing on flesh exploded over the valley. Fang Bai dodged the Scorpion Lord's rapid piercing strike, his fist glowing with lightning as he smashed it fiercely onto its black-armored back.

With a crisp "crack," the Scorpion Lord's carapace was actually smashed with spiderweb-like cracks, and dark green blood seeped out along the crevices, dripping into poisonous bubbles in mid-air.

"Human! You are courting death!"

The Scorpion Lord roared in pain, its tail sweeping horizontally like a poison whip. The poisonous stinger at the tip of its tail flickered with a ghostly blue light, stabbing straight at Fang Bai's heart from behind.

But Fang Bai seemed to have anticipated it. He stomped his foot hard on the ground, and using the recoil, his body flew backward. While narrowly dodging the poisonous stinger, dark elements instantly condensed into a giant blade, and he slashed down fiercely!

Pfft!

Although Fang Bai didn't sever the opponent's tail, he still drew a spray of blood!

The defense of an Eighth-Rank is still too monstrous!

If he were also Eighth-Rank, the Scorpion Lord would have been beaten to death by him long ago!

The Scorpion Lord, having its defense broken repeatedly, was already on the verge of fury!

It was both shocked and angry. To be pushed to this point by a human Seventh-Rank, if word got out, it would lose all face!

However, Fang Bai didn't intend to let it lose face, because he was determined to kill the opponent today!

He had a premonition that by slaying the Scorpion Lord, he would have a high probability of breaking through to the Eighth-Rank!

For this reason, Fang Bai did not hold back at all! He threw all his moves and skills at it!

The Scorpion Lord also felt the pressure; it was stunned by the beating!

In its anxious rage, it shouted deeply, "Little ones! Hold him back for me!"

Fang Bai's face sank, and he cursed angrily, "You old bastard! Can't win a duel so you resort to ganging up, huh? And you call yourself a Demon Lord! How fucking shameful!"

The Scorpion Lord said expressionlessly, "So what if I don't want face?"

Fang Bai: ...

Damn it! Never seen such a shameless demon!

Under the Scorpion Lord's order, the Poison Mist Forest army that had long since arrived immediately charged toward Fang Bai!

Besides that, there were also the Demon Kings from the Demon Valley!

They knew of Fang Bai's monstrous nature, so they didn't care about martial ethics either and swarmed him directly!

"Fuck!"

Fang Bai's expression immediately turned ugly. Even he couldn't withstand the combined forces of these monsters!

In just a few rounds, Fang Bai had suffered quite a few injuries!

Moreover, the Scorpion Lord actually seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, directly causing Fang Bai to suffer heavy injuries!

The crowd of demon beasts was overjoyed, because they finally saw the hope of killing this human monster genius!

At this moment, they were absolutely convinced that this human had no way out!

And although Fang Bai's injuries were constantly worsening, his expression was very calm, and a trace of madness flashed in the depths of his eyes.

In a desperate situation, he could only use that move!

Under the group attack led by the Scorpion Lord, Fang Bai eventually exhausted his energy and was severely injured!

The Scorpion Lord's gaze landed on the battered Fang Bai, with a hint of wariness, "Close! It almost backfired!"

Its tail stinger, which was also severely injured, slowly aimed at Fang Bai, greed appearing in its eyes. The blood and energy of a pseudo-Eighth-Rank were a great supplement; by eating and digesting this human, it could also advance further!

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

Inside Fang Bai's body, a violent aura suddenly appeared!

"Hmm?!"

The Scorpion Lord's eyes showed a trace of surprise. He actually still had power?

It did not hesitate, and the tail stinger stabbed down fiercely!

However, the next second, a bloodied hand suddenly grabbed the stinger!

Fang Bai was seen slowly standing up, a strange red light flashing in his eyes, "A feeling I haven't felt in a long time!"

The power within his body was like a volcanic eruption, endless, and the cells throughout his body were cheering wildly!

Compared to the last passive skill trigger, the power Fang Bai received this time was even more powerful!

It had already reached the Eighth-Rank level!

As this terrifying energy radiated outward, the Scorpion Lord and the crowd of demon beasts immediately felt a sense of crisis!

At this time, Fang Bai's mouth curled up, "Hehehe! Little scorpion, you've been having quite a lot of fun, haven't you!"

He was seen gripping his palm tightly! Violent power surged into the tail stinger!

Crack!

Dense cracks actually appeared on the tail stinger, and then the next second, the entire tail stinger shattered like glass!!
