Killing God - Chapter 390
Chapter 390 Explosive Pill
In an instant, the cave was completely silent. All the excited, restless, and frantic high-tier demonic beasts seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on their heads and immediately fell silent.
The pillar of light that descended from the sky was still bright and dazzling. It shone on the rough ground of the cave. Apart from the Dark Wind Wolf that had just died, there were also several corpses of demonic beasts lying there. This cruel and bloody scene seemed to remind the surrounding demonic beasts once again how terrifying and powerful their opponent was.
The fear of death seemed to have transformed into an endless shadow that enveloped the heads of these high-grade demonic beasts that already possessed intelligence, causing them to not dare to act recklessly.
In the distance, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu, who were hiding in the Void Illusion Array, looked at each other. Although they did not say anything, they could still tell from each other’s gazes that they were fearful of the terrifying strength of the Iron-winged Black Scorpion. A rank four demonic beast, the Dark Wind Wolf, was killed instantly. Although the Dark Wind Wolf was not the strongest species among all rank four demonic beasts, it was still a rank four demonic beast. It was a powerful existence that could condense demonic cores.
However, just now, the Dark Wind Wolf was stabbed to death by the Iron Winged Black Scorpion before it could even take out its demon core. Among the two of them, Zhong Qingzhu’s reaction was even greater, and his face was slightly pale in the shadows. Thinking back to the day when he arrived here, it was entirely conceivable that if it wasn’t for this Iron-winged Black Scorpion guarding the Heavenly Fruit, even if Zhong Qingzhu had ten lives, he would have died here.
The death of the Dark Wind Wolf instantly intimidated the surrounding demonic beasts. However, the strange fragrance emanating from the air and the vermilion-red Heavenly Vermillion Fruit with a light purple color still possessed an incomparably fatal attraction, causing these high-grade demonic beasts to refuse to give up.
They did not continue forward, nor did they retreat.
Countless fierce and greedy gazes stared fiercely at the Heavenly Vermillion Fruit and the Iron Winged Black Scorpion.
Facing this situation, the Iron-winged Black Scorpion was obviously not satisfied. Its howl became sharp again, carrying with it fierce rage. Its compound eyes coldly swept across the nearest few demonic beasts. In front of its powerful aura, the few demonic beasts that were originally eager to try were immediately suppressed and subconsciously took a few steps back. Driven by these demonic beasts, the demonic beasts nearby couldn’t help but show signs of retreating.
Seeing that, it seemed like the Iron-winged Black Scorpion had once again gained the upper hand. Perhaps in this world of demonic beasts, strength was an extremely strict law. It was cruel and cruel, but it was unshakable.
Everything seemed to show signs of easing up. The encircling circle was about to retreat back to the edge of the intersection of light and shadows. However, right at this moment, amidst this unusually tense silence, all of a sudden, a clear and crisp sound resounded in the ears of all the demonic beasts in the crowd.
“Pa!”
In the deepest depths of the light, the second petal of the Heavenly Vermillion Fruit on the top of the spiritual herb split open.
④
The unique fragrance of spirit medicines, The moment the petals split open again, It doubled almost without warning, From afar, the surface of the Vermillion Blossom Fruit was on the spot where the petals were removed. It was bright red and was as lustrous as the best agate gemstone in the world. Even when the pillar of light fell on the fruit, the light around the fruit had a faintly twisted and hazy appearance. It looked like a dream, as if it wasn’t something that could be seen in the human world.
“Roar!”
In the next moment, it was as if all the ferocious demonic beasts had been stimulated by this sudden stimulation. Countless ferocious beasts roared towards the sky. Even though the Iron-winged Black Scorpion roared angrily, it was no longer able to block the many high-grade demonic beasts around it that seemed to be on the verge of going crazy.
No one knew why this Heavenly Vermillion Fruit had such a bizarre and powerful charm. It could attract so many high-grade demonic beasts. Even against Tier 5 demonic beasts like the Iron-winged Black Scorpion, it would not give up on retreating in the face of the danger of dying.
Amidst the wild roars, the herd of beasts seemed to be about to boil, and the encirclement once again tightened, slowly pushing towards the inside. The Iron Winged Black Scorpion was surrounded by ferocious enemies, and it seemed to be panicking for the first time.
However, its body was still firmly nailed to the side of the Heavenly Vermillion Fruit. It did not leave at all and did not show the slightest intention of retreating. It seemed that this Heavenly Vermillion Fruit was also incomparably important to the Iron-winged Black Scorpion.
Even if it was facing so many high-grade demonic beasts.
Fifty zhang, forty zhang, thirty zhang, twenty zhang, ten zhang …
The herd of beasts roared as if killing intent that caused their entire bodies to tremble. The Iron-winged Black Scorpion stood motionless from all directions. However, it raised its tail high and the only broken iron wing on its back slowly stood up. It was obvious that the most urgent time had come.
Suddenly, a loud roar resounded through the cave. The strongest of the beasts, the Azure Thunder Lion King, suddenly jumped up and pounced towards the Iron-winged Black Scorpion. This action instantly ignited the originally tense situation that was on the verge of collapse. Roars rushed over like a flood breaking a dam. In an instant, countless ferocious beast figures roared and pounced over. In response, the sharpest and loudest screams were heard.
The herd of beasts in front of them instantly clashed. The originally incomparably solid rock ground was in front of these formidable beasts. Instantly, it became as fragile as tofu. Countless rocks and dirt flew everywhere, and dust flew everywhere. In the blink of an eye, it was impossible to see the Heavenly Vermillion Fruit in the center of the battle. Only powerful figures of fierce gods could be seen rushing in midair, and roars of fury could be heard one after another.
Large rocks shot out from the center of the cave in all directions, thumping against the stone walls. Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu were naturally not spared, but under the cover of the Void Illusion Formation, they avoided most of the stones, even if there were occasionally stones that could not be avoided. After all, these flying stones weren’t the demonic beasts themselves. Although they were powerful, with Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu’s cultivation, they were still able to withstand them.
What they were most concerned about was not the sudden arrival of these rocks, but the rapidly intensifying and even frenzied battles in the cave. Dozens of high-grade demonic beasts fought amongst themselves, and most of their primary targets were the Iron-winged Black Scorpion.
At this moment, The Iron-winged Black Scorpion finally revealed the strength of a Tier 5 demonic beast. Facing so many Tier 4 demonic beasts, its tail swept and its claws waved. Under the sharp howls, almost all the demonic beasts close to the body of the Iron-winged Black Scorpion were repelled by its powerful strength. Some of the weaker demonic beasts were even sent flying.
In the midst of the battle, a black shadow suddenly jumped up from a strange angle behind the Iron Winged Black Scorpion. Taking advantage of the fact that the Iron Winged Black Scorpion was defending against the attacks of several demonic beasts in front of it, it actually dodged the poisonous scorpion tail defense and landed on the Iron Winged Black Scorpion’s back. Amidst the roar, the figure of light trembled violently. One could see that it was a powerful Primordial Slacker. Its claw furiously grabbed the incomparably hard shell of the scorpion and stabbed it into the back of the Iron-winged Black Scorpion.
The Iron-winged Black Scorpion suddenly let out a violent and sharp roar. Its entire body trembled, and the countless demonic beasts around it seemed to have been instantly beaten to chicken blood. All of the demonic beasts’ eyes turned red, and they lunged madly at the Iron-winged Black Scorpion.
The Iron-winged Black Scorpion ignored the charging demonic beasts. The tail of the scorpion reversed in midair and suddenly stabbed down. It actually pierced through Poyuan Lazy’s body and nailed it to its back shell.
However, this Poyuan Lazy looked much stronger than the previous Dark Wind Wolf. Although it had suffered unimaginable injuries, and terrifying yellow poisonous blood had even begun to flow out from its chest wounds, it still looked fierce. With a sudden roar, it opened its mouth and a round pill that flickered with clear light flew out.
Demon Core!
In the distance, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu’s bodies instantly trembled. However, the beasts in the chaotic battle unexpectedly calmed down for a moment. All of the demonic beasts’ gazes fell on the demonic core, landing on the seemingly undoubtedly dead Poyuan Lazy.
Including the severely injured Iron Winged Black Scorpion, it seemed to have suddenly sensed something. Its scream suddenly became loud and its body twisted, as if it wanted to throw this Primordial Splitting Laziness away, and the surrounding demonic beasts also showed signs of retreating.
However, time was like a bolt of lightning. The moment this demon core appeared, Poyuan Lazy seemed to have fallen into the last madness before he died. He roared wildly, accompanied by a terrifying explosion and an intense light that could hardly be seen directly from the demon core.
The violent aura was centered on the Essence Breaking Lazy Demon Core. It exploded like thunder, transforming into an incomparably fierce hurricane that swept out in all directions. Wherever it passed, the earth-shattering stones were shattered, and it was unbearable to see.
Self-detonating Demon Pills!
Before dying, this Primordial Slacker had used its wild and vicious nature to self-destruct a demon core that was at least five times more powerful than its normal strength, instantly intimidating the entire arena. Poyuan Lazy’s body was shattered almost at the same time, while the nearer demonic beasts had their skin and flesh torn open, blood flowing everywhere, and even their hands and legs were broken and they fell to the ground.
A huge wave of air swept past. After a long while, the souls of the demonic beasts were still in shock. The figure of the Iron-winged Black Scorpion gradually appeared in the depths of the smoke, attracting everyone’s attention.
Apart from the shattered Primordial Laziness, the Iron Winged Black Scorpion was the nearest demonic beast to the self-detonating demonic core. Under such a powerful force, even a Tier 5 demonic beast would find it difficult to endure. Under the brilliance, the Iron-winged Black Scorpion seemed to have never been in such a sorry state before. A large hole several feet wide was directly blasted out of its originally hard shell, and its flesh and blood were blurred. Yet, half of its originally invincible tail was also blasted out.
The entire Iron-winged Black Scorpion was covered in a layer of dark color by the dust. There was no longer the arrogant aura of a Tier 5 demonic beast. Even the coldness in its eyes dimmed a lot.
Dust slowly descended from the cave.
The self-detonating demonic pill was undoubtedly the final and most terrifying outcome for these high-grade demonic beasts. Therefore, every living demonic beast was stunned and looked at this terrifying scene with a bit of confusion.
However, at this horrifying moment, it was as if a voice came from the depths of hell. It carried endless despair and irresistible temptation. It was like a sinister ghost laughing, like a ghost howling. In this silence, a third clear voice sounded,
“Pa!”
