Chapter 619: Chapter 619: Genius Collaboration

Among all those present, only a few could genuinely discern the situation deep in the ancient battlefield, either by activating their Spirit Eye or practising their Pupil Skill. Otherwise, they could not see clearly the happenings in its depths.

Fang Lin activated his Spirit Eye and gazed into the antique battlefield. He saw the Three-tailed Scorpion that was guarding the Unfading Flower of Seven Spirits, with a large amount of death energy spreading out from its body.

This death energy signified that the Three-tailed Scorpion was near its end. Despite its desperate efforts to keep going, it had reached its limits.

On its sturdy, jet-black shell, cracks began to appear and became more and more numerous, as if its body was on the verge of collapse.

In the depths of the scorpion’s terrifying eyes, there was a colour of unwillingness and despair. It glanced back at the Unfading Flower of Seven Spirits in the crevice of the rock.

The Unfading Flower of Seven Spirits quivered slightly in the wind. Its seven different coloured petals remained closed, their light shifting, as if they could bloom at any moment, yet they also seemed as though they would never unfold.

The swaying blossom seemed to mock the Three-tailed Scorpion, nonchalantly swaying in the wind.

The Three-tailed Scorpion let out a deep roar, its two massive pincers rubbing against one another and its three sturdy tails continuously thrashing.

“It’s bad! This Three-tailed Scorpion seems to intend to harm the immature Unfading Flower of Seven Spirits!” Outside the ancient battlefield, Mei Yingxue, Chi Yunxiao and others unanimously showed concern.

The Three-tailed Scorpion, realizing it might not be able to hold on much longer, was planning to directly consume the yet immature Unfading Flower of Seven Spirits.

This was an act of reckless desperation. The Unfading Flower of Seven Spirits hadn’t matured, and its medicinal properties hadn’t reached perfection. Yet consuming it now could greatly enhance the scorpion’s chance of survival.

“We can’t let it interfere with the maturing of the Unfading Flower of Seven Spirits!” declared Chi Yunxiao as he dashed into the ancient battlefield.

Dugu Ruoxu and Mei Yingxue swiftly followed, launching their attacks simultaneously.

Zhou Yishui stood still, his face extremely calm, as if he had no intention of engaging in the fight.

“You guys, go in,” Zhou Yishui turned to the Princes, giving instructions.

The Princes were taken aback, “My lord, we are not strong enough, entering now could be dangerous.”

Zhou Yishui furrowed his brows, showing a hint of displeasure, “When I order you to go in, I don’t leave room for you to bargain.”

At his words, the Princes almost burst into tears while everyone else gasped. As cold-hearted as royalty might be, the Crown Prince was exceptionally cold, willing to send his brothers into danger. It was ruthless.

“Being part of the royal family, should you fear death? If you can get me the Unfading Flower of Seven Spirits, I will share it with you,” Zhou Yishui stated.

Upon hearing this, the Princes exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, and, holding their weapons, charged into the fray.

At this moment, in the ancient battlefield, as the Three-tailed Scorpion was about to lay its hands on the Unfading Flower of Seven Spirits, a large fist-mark appeared and smashed heavily onto it.

The Three-tailed Scorpion staggered, then turned its head abruptly, its face full of fury.

Whoosh!

It lashed its enormous tail, aiming directly at Chi Yunxiao, who had made the last attack.

Chi Yunxiao’s face remained solemn as he dodged the tail and began bombarding the Scorpion with his fists.

Chi Yunxiao’s fists were surrounded by roaring flames and some bolts of lightning. The intertwining of the two elements resulted in exceptional power.

His fists continuously pounded on the Three-tailed Scorpion, causing the cracks on its shell to become denser.

The Scorpion’s shell was extremely hard, comparable to a thousand-year diamond. If the Scorpion were at peak strength, even the attacks of a Spirit Vein warrior would hardly injure it.

However, right now, the Scorpion was at the end of its lifespan, on the brink of death, and its body was about to collapse. Hence, even though Chi Yunxiao was not a Spirit Vein warrior, he could still injure the Scorpion.

The Scorpion sprayed out a smoke of poison, forcing Chi Yunxiao to retreat from fear of being contaminated.

Just then, Mei Yingxue arrived. Her Plum Blossom Paper Umbrella flew out, revolving as it fell, and absorbed all the poisonous smoke into itself.

Moreover, the Plum Blossom Paper Umbrella emanated a light red glow, like a sharp sword, slicing the Scorpion’s body.

Crack!

This attack made the Scorpion stagger as if it had received a heavy blow. A crack formed on its back, and green fluid leaked from it.

The Scorpion roared in pain and fury, as if its threshold was being tested.

It didn’t want to die. Yet, humans now tried to deter it. This was utterly unforgivable.

The Scorpion’s massive pincers emerged, forcing Chi Yunxiao and Mei Yingxue to retreat. At the same time, a foul-smelling black fluid gushed out from its mouth, bringing with it waves of heat, and aimed straight for Mei Yingxue and Chi Yunxiao.

This was a potent venom that had been stored within the Scorpion for many years. It was intensely poisonous, far more so than the Flood Dragon Poison of a Mountain Devouring Flood Dragon.

The two immediately retreated, clearly aware of the potency of the venom. Even Mei Yingxue’s Plum Blossom Paper Umbrella, which could absorb poison smoke, wouldn’t dare to absorb the venom for fear of destroying the precious item.

“Solidify!” A silver sword light approached, bringing an intensely cold chill, and collided with the venom.

In an instant, the scorching, potent venom was frozen into a hard ice cube and fell to the ground.

Even so, the frozen venom began to rapidly corrode the ground, making a sizzling noise.

Dugu Ruoxu arrived, witnessing the two being forced to step back due to the venom. Without any hesitation, he drew his weapon and used his Sword Qi to freeze the venom, thus resolving their crisis.

Mei Yingxue gave a nod to Dugu Ruoxu. Chi Yunxiao snorted. Evidently, he felt uncomfortable being saved by his competition.

However, at this moment they had to face an almost-dead, yet still potent Three-tailed Scorpion. The three of them must cooperate, neither one or two of them could defeat the Scorpion alone.

“Be careful. The true strength of this Three-tailed Scorpion lies in its tails,” warned Mei Yingxue.

Both of them nodded in agreement. The Scorpion’s three massive tails were its most powerful weapon. No one dared to underestimate it.

Mei Yingxue took the lead; amidst her fluttering clothes bloomed glorious plum blossoms, radiating a beautiful aura around her. If there were others present, they would undoubtedly be amazed by the sight.

Chi Yunxiao and Dugu Ruoxu were shocked; Mei Yingxue indeed held unfathomable abilities. Her move, “Pride Snow Red Plum”, was more powerful than before.

Upon a closer look, there were a total of 999 blossoms around Mei Yingxue, each with a unique posture, yet they all exuded astonishing energy.
