122: Chapter 122 Black Scorpion King

"Well, well, looks like I won't even need to make a move." Mu Cheng watched, utterly astonished.

But thinking about it, it made sense. The Han Family was one of the Eight Great Families Peppa had mentioned, so it wasn't strange for them to possess such strength.

Peppa took everything in. "You're overthinking it... A ninth-tier monster isn't that easy to deal with. Better get ready to fight!"

Sure enough, just as it said, the Black Scorpion King suddenly went berserk, instantly pinning Han Dapang down and grinding him into the dirt.

Han Xiaoshou reacted with incredible speed, instantly releasing his Ice Attribute Ability to freeze the Black Scorpion King into a block of ice.

"Boss, I can't hold it for long."

Han Xin, of course, was well aware. But they had still underestimated the Black Scorpion King's strength. In just a few seconds...

The ice trapping it was already beginning to crack. Fortunately, at the critical moment... Mu Cheng made his move.

A wall of ice blocked the monster, and he shouted,

"Don't just stand there! Get out of here, now!"

"It's you." Han Xin recognized Mu Cheng at a glance. By the time he processed it, Han Dapang had already managed to escape.

"That was close. Thanks, man." He panted out his gratitude.

Mu Cheng was deadly serious. "Save the thanks. Let's deal with the problem at hand first!"

"This thing's strength is probably no joke. We should watch and wait for an opening." Han Xin didn't dare be careless again.

Peppa, however, wasn't flustered in the slightest.

"Leave it to this guy. Oh, right... if you're after the water of life, you can turn back now."

It made it very clear to them... the purpose of this trip was for the water of life.

"To be honest... we just came from the Magic Well. We originally went there for the water of life, but there's a powerful Talisman Array there, so we had to return empty-handed."

"These three must have used some method to reach the Magic Well directly. Whatever the case, let's deal with the immediate threat first."

Mu Cheng watched the ice wall before him crack bit by bit... He stopped overthinking and became intensely focused.

But seeing the Black Scorpion King up close again, this behemoth before him... one slap could casually crush him to death.

He naturally lacked much confidence and asked, "Can I... really do this? Are you sure you're not joking?"

"Of course. Dealing with this thing is a piece of cake." Peppa had that much confidence.

Dealing with monsters wasn't much of a problem. As long as it wasn't something beyond the ninth tier, it could basically be worn down to death.

Humans, however, were a different story. Of course, after breaking through to the eighth tier, there would be no problem at all.

"Alright then... I'll go. But how exactly do I fight this thing?" Facing such a giant creature, Mu Cheng genuinely didn't know where to start.

"You talk too much. I said go, so go! Must you dawdle and hesitate like a girl?" Peppa was furious.

It instantly sent Mu Cheng... flying onto the Black Scorpion King's body.

"Good grief... he's completely unharmed?" Han Xin watched, utterly dumbfounded, expressing his confusion with a question.

The Black Scorpion King was covered in poison from head to toe... even a ninth-tier expert would perish upon contact. Yet Mu Cheng was completely fine.

"This... I remember the Black Scorpion King is covered in poison. What on earth is going on?" Mu Cheng was stunned, too dazed to react.

But he quickly guessed the general idea. "Could it be my Devouring Bloodline? If that's the case, then I just have to go all out."

Without hesitation, Mu Cheng unleashed his fighting spirit and went to town, landing punch after solid punch on the Black Scorpion King.

With each attack, clear spatial cracks were visible. At the same time, the Black Scorpion King also felt the pain.

It thrashed about desperately, but for Mu Cheng, it hardly had any effect.

"Good grief, is he planning to brute-force his way through a ninth-tier monster?" Han Xiaoshou was dumbstruck for a long moment before finally reacting and speaking.
