relying on the old Qi Gathering Pills for cultivation. 。At just the sixth level of Qi Refining, the consumption of Gathering Qi Pills was already significant. The remaining amount was insufficient to...Besides, there's another Ice Scale demon, and from their tone, they have an Emperor above them. Someone who can make even late stage Fusion Realm experts dance to their tune—their methods are beyond our comprehension. We may be wolves circling, but we're just a piece of flesh amongst them. Our struggles will only result in being devoured by one vicious wolf or another.

As for Lu Xia Tian, his heart also sank to the bottom of the valley at this moment. Although he had guessed it earlier, the conversation between the two people in front of him undoubtedly confirmed his guess.

I absolutely cannot stay here any longer. If I can get through this immediate crisis, I must find a way to leave, even if it means using the five-fused soul's mudstone demon essence.

Lu Xia Tian made a decision in his heart. However, the Shadow Scorpion King and Bing Shi Yao, two late-stage demon creatures that had merged, were already before him. Whether he could overcome this hurdle was uncertain.

"Brother Xie, don't speak so confidently. With your abilities, you haven't been able to solve opponents for over five hundred years. Even if the Demon Lord doesn't punish you directly, he will inevitably doubt your capabilities." Bing Shi Yao hissed.

"Ice Louse, if you think your abilities are sufficient, then by all means go yourself. If you can take him down, it would be a testament to your skill." The Shadow Scorpion King was unfazed by the other's words and instead, taunted Ice Louse with a remark.

“This seat hasn't reached the point of meddling in other people's business yet. Since Brother Xie doesn't welcome me, this seat will leave.” Bing Shi Yao chuckled, and before his words fell, he had already drifted away.

The Iceworm Demon and its five kin left, and the bone-chilling cold that had spread around them gradually vanished.

"Mind your own business." The Shadow Scorpion King snorted, though his eyes turned suddenly sinister towards Lu Xia Tian and Ban Yao.

“I was going to let you live a little longer, but with the Ice Mite meddling things up, there's no way I can let you live anymore.” The Shadow Scorpion King said in a low voice.

Ban Yao and Ban Qian Zhi were both shocked, but Lu Xiaotian on the other hand, having encountered an Ice Lice Demon whose strength was possibly even greater than the Shadow Scorpion King, felt a sense of relief. If the two combined monsters were here, it would be truly difficult to deal with. But only one Shadow Scorpion King wasn't a situation beyond his capabilities. Right now, Lu Xiaotian's only worry was how far the Ice Lice Demon had gone, and what the two old demons meant by "Demon Lord."

A powerful cultivator in the Great Accomplishment realm is truly terrifying, something Lu Xia Tian knows all too well. Having barely escaped one Ye Qian Xin, he now found himself entangled with another, a demonic lord named Lao Shi Zi. He had managed to slay this Phantom Scorpion King, but now, from all directions, came that eerie tide of butterflies. He was trapped with nowhere to run.

Lu Xia Tian's mind was racing, the Nether Scorpion King across from him had already made his move.

Behind him, the four Scorpion Demonic Beasts of the Integration Realm also charged towards Ban Yao and Ban Qianzhi respectively.

The Shadow Scorpion King once again vanished from sight, employing that extraordinary concealment technique.

"This Phantom Scorpion King is not only cunning, but also extremely cautious in his actions." The moment the Phantom Scorpion King made a move, Lu Xia Tian understood what the other party intended. The first target of this old demon was not him, but Ban Yao and Ban Qian Zhi, two.

After dealing with the two spots, Lu Xia Tian found himself besieged by five scorpion demons. This situation was naturally most advantageous for the Shadow Scorpion King.

"A powerful, late-stage demon like you resorting to such underhanded tactics Don't you think that's a bit pathetic" Lu Xia Tian said coldly.

Banyan and Bantian were still unaware of the meaning of Lu Xia Tian. Two sharp scorpion tails suddenly shot out from the sea, reaching within ten zhang of the two. The Shadow Scorpion King's sudden attack undoubtedly shocked them both. It wasn't just the Shadow Scorpion King's terrifying power, but also the fear they felt towards a powerful being at the late stage of integration.

“You guys just need to deal with a few more attacks.” Lu Xia Tian’s voice timely entered the ears of Ban Yao and Ban Qian Zhi.

The ethereal flying sword and twelve pillars of profound fire had already broken through the water, striking the two transparent scorpion tails. This neutralized the Shadow Scorpion King's attack against Ban Yao and the other.

"Daoist Xiang, the situation is dire. You can retreat to your cave dwelling. If you take charge of the cave's protective barrier, with your abilities, Daoist Xiang, you can surely hold it." Ban Qianzhi urgently transmitted a voice message to Lu Xiaoteng.

“I will approach you shortly. You will hand me the treasure that controls the restrictions of the cave dwelling. First, fight these monsters for a while. If things go badly with the Ministry of Justice, then retreat into the cave dwelling.” Lu Xiaoteng nodded. Given the current situation, this was the only course of action.

In normal circumstances, Ban Qianzhi would absolutely never relinquish control of his cave dwelling so easily. But right now, he's facing a life-or-death situation. If he still hoards it like a precious treasure, there won't even be a sliver of hope left.

"This king wants to kill them both, how can you possibly stop me" The Shadow Scorpion King was blocked by Lu Xia Tian's attack and wasn't angered. Instead, he revealed his true form, opening his mouth and spitting out six transparent scorpions, each three feet long. These six scorpions vanished without a trace the moment they entered the water.

Lu Xiaotian's divine sense extended outwards, though he could faintly sense the movements of these six three-foot scorpions, he was also surprised by their speed.

At this time, both Ban Yao and Ban Qianzhi revealed their true forms as two-tailed salamander pythons, engaging in a fierce battle with the other four scorpion demons.

When facing two enemies, the two of them are preoccupied and have no time to spare. Once entangled by the three-tailed scorpion, the consequences would undoubtedly be disastrous.

Lu Xia Tian couldn't help but feel annoyed. With his abilities, he could stop a few of the transparent scorpions, but these six three-foot scorpions were incredibly fast. To stop all of them was no easy feat.

As the twelve Xuanhuo pillars repelled one of the transparent scorpion tails, the Xuanhuo pillars rippled in the seawater. The Xuan Yan pillars, slightly larger than flying needles, formed a neat array. One towering pillar followed another, directly engulfing Ban Qianzhi and the six three-foot-long scorpions along with four Scorpion Demons within them.

The Xuanhuo Pillar was moving at an astonishing speed, the pillar of flames forming a wall that in the blink of an eye created a massive fire labyrinth. Ordinary seawater was naturally incapable of hindering the formidable power of the Wu Xiang Xuanhuo. However, deep beneath this endless demon sea, the seawater was boundless. When the Xuanhuo Pillar shrunk to a needle-like state, it could reduce the clash. Suddenly transforming into such a massive Xuanhuo labyrinth and trapping these combined demon scorpions, along with those three-foot-long little scorpions, within it...

Under both internal and external pressure, Lu Xiaoteng was under tremendous strain. Over the years, if it weren't for Ye Qianxin's Lotus avatar's Sumeru ring, Lu Xiaoteng's stored mana in his dantian would have almost reached 40%. Without this, Lu Xiaoteng would never have taken such a risk.

Buzz buzz buzz, the six three-foot-long baby scorpions were forced out of their hiding place by the fiery wall. Although they were quick, they couldn't outrun the flaming barriers. However, this was all it took to expose them. At this time, under the attack of the Phantom Scorpion King, Lu Xia Tian was struggling to maintain the Xuanhuo Maze and had no strength to kill the scorpion demons or those six baby scorpions.
