“Formidable!” Lei Ting cried out in shock.
Mr Shi then flew to the back of the crowd as his cultivation was the lowest.
The four people quickly got into the horn formation to guard the Emperor as an act of loyalty, although with the Emperor’s cultivation, he could handle the Thunder Scorpion, he would not make a move till it was the last resort, if not he would not be the Emperor.
Zhong Shan’s hairs stood on end as he slowly shifted his position to an ideal one that would attract the least attention.
Speaking of which, Zhong Shan was a little grateful for this bunch of people to show up as they would be the ones to alarmed the Thunder Scorpion if it was not for them.
During that time, with the cultivation base of Zhong Shan and Tian Ling Er, they would certainly not be a match for it.
“Pi Li Pa La” The huge scorpion’s tail flew towards the closest General Lei Ting like a whip.
As the tails was swinging over, it seemed to bring with it a string of thunderstorms, as if there was a curtain of electric ray around it and containing a tremendous explosive power.
Before the tail arrived, the lightning reached, General Lei Ting was blinded and quickly drew a great sword that did not have any sharp edge.
The great sword seemed to carried with it the influence of thunder, with a stroke of the great sword, there was the sound of thunder exploding forth.
The great sword’s energy became more corporeal, slowly growing in size to become a hundred and then a thousand of its size and hiding its core within.
“BANG!~~~ ”
A large sound broke out, the Scorpion’s tail and great sword were clashing about repeatedly. Evidently, it was a draw. The Scorpion’s tail was incomparably hard, even with the unyielding strokes of the great sword, it did not have a single injury, moreover, it let out a greater amount of thunder and lightning around it, causing it to look more imposing.
“Be careful of its tip” Mr Shi reminded.
Following the words uttered by Mr Shi, the Scorpions tail then twist itself mid-air over a weird arc and suddenly stabbing its needle-like tip towards General Lei Ting.
“Ha Ha, no problem, it’s only a filthy beast.” General Lei Ting mocked as he directed the great sword towards the scorpions and slashed.
This time, General Lei Ting was using all his strength, the great sword did not grow in size, but its energy was becoming more consolidated.
Though separated by a large distance, Zhong Shan could feel the immense oppressiveness released by the energy. It was like a world of thunder and turbulence, and the Great sword was emitting an aura that was ready to annihilate anything.
In the distance, Mr Shi was shaking his head and letting out a sigh. It was obvious that he was sighing because General Lei Ting did not heed his warnings.
Although General Lei Ting did not hear the sigh, the Emperor however did hear it.
Listening to what Mr Shi has said, the Emperor was surprised.
Other people might not heed the advice of Mr Shi due to his low cultivation, but the Emperor knew the origin of Mr Shi, furthermore Mr Shi was never on to exaggerate his words, since he warned about it, then there might be some grave danger.
With a flick of his hands, the Emperor suddenly drew a black machete out, and with his machete erected, he ignored his four subordinates’ reaction and charged towards the not so distant Thunder Scorpion.
The machete then grew in size about a hundred meters mid-air, emitting an imposing aura, seemingly trying to destroy everything around it.
A vast hurricane was spurred, and all the thunder and lightning in the ravine were blown away, a large number of boulders were blown away by the great winds too, even Zhong Shan who was hugging Tian Ling Er was not spared and had been blown far away, hitting mercilessly onto the walls of the ravine.
The scorpion’s tail was too fast, although it sensed the danger coming from the Emperor’s machete, it still chose to stab viciously towards General Lei Ting’s great sword.
“Ting” A brittle sound echoed, the purple needle from the scorpion’s tail had pierced through General Lei Ting’s great sword.
It was simply unthinkable, how could this happen, the scorpion’s needle could actually pierce through my treasured sword? The purple needle continued on its path towards General Lei Ting, and if the needle came into contact with the general, it would surely pierce through him and end his life.
The strong chest of General Lei Ting was like paper at this moment, when the needle was about pierced into him, the General unexpectedly did not put up a struggle.
The needle was too fast, and the General simply could not use any means to avoid it in it.
“Ting ~~~”
A loud noise echoed out, the Thunder Scorpion below was cleaved in half by a machete which covered the sky, and when the machete came down, it cleaved everything in its path, even the earth, forming another ravine below.
This was enough to demonstrate the machete’s aggressiveness.
Yin Yue Imperial Court, this was the power wield by the Yin Yue Emperor.
Hugging Tian Ling Er, Zhong Shan collapsed onto a pile of ruins in the distance with a shocked expression, however he still had a calm look in his eyes. In this moment, he had to be collected.
The purple scorpion needle came to a stop just right before his pupils, General Lei Ting’s mouth was wide open, and retreated humbly with his body drenched in cold sweat.
The purple poison needle slowly drooped downwards, sliding out slowly from the great sword, leaving the General only with a pierced great sword.
After remaining in silence for a while, the cold sweat on General Lei Ting’s body had not dried up, the border of life and death, he was really at the border of life and death, during that instance, General Lei Ting could actually feel death, death was just right in front of him.
Not far away, the Emperor had already retracted his sword. At this time, General Lei Ting had also recovered.
“Thanks a lot, Your Majesty” General Lei Ting thanked with a hint of guilt, that moment was too dangerous, death was around the corner and the Emperor still made a move to save him.
“You should be grateful to Mr Shi, if it wasn’t for his warnings, I would not have made a move.” The Emperor replied immediately, pushing the credits to Mr Shi, hoping that it moves Mr Shi.
However, Mr Shi did not show any change in his expression.
At this moment, General Lei Ting recalled Mr Shi warning about the scorpion’s needle.
“Many thanks, Mr Shi” General Lei Ting immediately thanked, but his words did not carry an ounce of sincerity. Perhaps in the eyes of General Lei Ting, the man who saved himself was the Emperor and Mr Shi played no part in it. After all, Mr Shi was only at Gold Core.
Seeing that General Lei Ting continue to view Mr Shi coldly due to his cultivation, the Emperor frowned, but choose not to say anything about it. Sometimes, the Emperor had to protect his ministers’ mentality so that he would have a better control over them.
“Too dangerous” The others let out a sigh. It was really too close, if the Emperor was a little late, then next year on this date would the General ‘s death anniversary.
“Mr Shi, look at the other Thunder Scorpion egg, what do you think?” The Emperor turned behind to asked.
“The Thunder Scorpion can be distinguished as male or female, the one that the Emperor slayed was a female one, while the one at the north side is a male one with a much stronger cultivation. After we have acquired the other Thunder Flower, we should quickly flee, not stop anywhere because the Thunder Scorpion is an emotional species, if it sees that its partner has been killed, it would drown in grief and try to perish with us.” Mr Shi said.
“En” The crowd nods, this time nobody dared to mess around the Thunder Scorpion.
“Your Majesty, I will go and retrieve the Thunder Flower, and I will retreat immediately after doing so.” General Lei Ting said.
“Wait a minute!” the emperor suddenly turned his attention to Zhong Shan and Tian Ling Er in the distance. A flash of coldness in the eyes.
Seeing the emperor’s eyes, the distant Zhong Shan’s heart tensed up, he could sense the murderous aura from the Emperor, despite the fact that Zhong Shan and Tian Ling Er were some small figures, he wanted to eliminate any future problems.
“The two locusts? It’s better to leave them to me.” General Thunder said suddenly, and the fear just now turned into viciousness. Hoping that he would completely forget the fear he had by venting it all out on them.
“Eee?” The Emperor looked towards General Lei Ting and could the current state of his heart and so he agreed by nodding his head.
Zhong Shan\'s heart secretly turned ruthless, if today he did not die. He will return it a thousands times back to them. Although he had made such a vow, he did not dare to let it show on his face.
Tian Ling Er was so scared that she cuddled up even more within Zhong Shan’s embrace, when we was facing Miao Xian Ren, he could somewhat put up a fight. However, facing these group of vicious people, how could he come up with an idea to resist them, how could there be so many bad people in the world? Why do they keep meeting in to bad people once they left Kaiyang school?
At least there is Zhong Shan, at least in his embrace, Tian Ling Er could give herself the courage to face such a scary scenario.
Mr Shi looked on coldly, he did not offer them any resistance or went down to attack them1, merely looked on, as if he was anticipating something to happen and stood on silently watching them.
“Huuu~~~”
Zhong Shan and Tian Ling Er were sucked towards the palms of General Lei Ting. Under the great force, Zhong Shan and Tian Ling Er could not put up any resistance and all they could do was to hold one another tightly.
This kind of situation where one could be trampled upon, Zhong Shan greatly disliked it, in the future, I must set up my own Imperial Court, and have all the people under the Great Heaven serve me, I will pay them hundredfold back for today’s animosity.
Looking at the two of them hugging one another, General Lei Ting laughed, “It’s still a pair of lovebirds, rest assured that this general will not kill you, as long as you do one thing.”
Zhong Shan had also prepared some eloquent words. However, after hearing the words of General Thunder, he suddenly stopped suddenly and stopped talking, using us to seal the holes of the Egg? A greater danger awaits him. However, as long as he do not die, Zhong Shan can always resist.
Putting on an \'expected\' look towards the general Thunder, Zhong Shan must engraved the appearance of these people in his head and not forget these people for his revenge in the future.
“Senior, we are only passing by and have seen nothing.” Zhong Shan said with trepidation.
“Stop talking nonsenses, come over and pressed down here with yr hands.” General Lei Ting pointed towards the Thunder Flower and ordered angrily.
“Yes” Zhong Shan immediately brought Tian Ling Er over.
“Pa”
Four roots of the Thunder Flower were pluck at the same time.
“Pressed it” General Lei Ting ordered.
“Pa ”
The situation was compelling, Zhong Shan and Tian Linger had no choice but to pressed down on the four holes quickly.
