Killing God - Chapter 391
Chapter 391 Blood Scorpion
Almost all of the demonic beasts turned their eyes to look at the Heavenly Vermillion Fruit that was strangely unharmed at the center of the battlefield. On the red fruit, the third purple petal slowly opened.
The peculiar fragrance in the air seemed to have reached the point where it was about to boil and almost burn. Every breath seemed to cause the blood in his body to twitch and surge. It was no longer the fragrance of ordinary spirit herbs. It seemed to echo the shouts of every living being in the deepest parts of the cave.
Fruit petals fell …
The fruit was as red as blood.
In an instant, All the demonic beasts roared towards the sky, The entire cave trembled at the same time. The indescribable chaos ensued. Every demonic beast rushed forward recklessly like crazy. Any other demonic beast that stood in front of them, even if it was only close to their bodies, would be attacked crazily by these high-grade demonic beasts with red eyes.
At this moment, the sharp-fanged fangs roared in chaos. There was no longer any siege or killing. There were plenty of bloody flesh and blood flying everywhere, causing Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu, who were hiding at the side, to feel cold in their hearts and cold in their backs. Shen Shi’s expression was somewhat calm, while Zhong Qingzhu’s face was already extremely pale.
In the Demonic Beast Battlefield, even though all the demonic beasts that had originally surrounded him were already on the verge of madness and no longer had the momentum to attack the Iron-winged Black Scorpion together, the Iron-winged Black Scorpion guarding the Heavenly Vermillion Fruit and not allowing other demonic beasts to touch it was equivalent to resisting the attacks of numerous other Fourth Grade demonic beasts. Coupled with the self-destructing demon pill that he had been lazy with earlier, the damage to the Iron-winged Black Scorpion could not be underestimated. After a few rounds, this extremely tyrannical Tier 5 demon beast was already struggling in the surging tide of beasts, and it seemed like it was going to be unable to hold on any longer.
Amidst the wild roars from the surroundings, the numerous Fourth Grade demonic beasts’ eyes were still red as they desperately rushed towards the Heavenly Vermillion Fruit that was about to mature.
The Iron-winged Black Scorpion had just sent a demonic beast flying with its huge claws. However, his eyes suddenly blurred. Surprisingly, the powerful Azure Thunder Lion King roared and rushed in front of him. Seeing the flaw, he grabbed onto the joint of the Iron-winged Black Scorpion’s claw. There was a soul-stirring crisp sound. The claw was actually directly broken by the Azure Thunder Lion King.
Normally, it was impossible for the Iron-winged Black Scorpion to not be able to defeat the Azure Thunder Lion King, who was one step weaker than him. However, at this moment, it was severely injured and had been surrounded by many high-grade demonic beasts for a long time. Seeing that it had almost run out of fuel, it was exhausted and panicked.
With his chelate broken, The Iron-winged Black Scorpion let out a terrifying high-pitched howl, as if it was in pain. The intense pain seemed to have stimulated all the remaining demonic energy in the giant demonic beast’s body. Its massive body swept out and directly knocked the three nearest demonic beasts away. At the same time, a series of chilling sounds of fractures could be heard.
The Azure Thunder Lion King was undoubtedly the strongest and most intelligent of these Fourth Grade demonic beasts. Although it was also drooling over the Heavenly Fruit, seeing the Iron-winged Black Scorpion crashing towards it with its demonic body like it was risking its life, the Azure Thunder Lion King roared angrily. He suddenly jumped backwards, avoiding this powerful attack.
After being swept away by the Iron Winged Black Scorpion, the surrounding demonic beasts couldn’t help but retreat a few steps. However, their roars became even more ferocious and loud. Anyone could tell that this was most likely the final struggle of the Tier 5 demonic beast. What followed was the crucial moment to seize that peerless spirit medicine, the Heaven and Earth Vermillion Fruit.
At this dizzying moment of lightning and flint, At a time when it was as if one could not breathe and was so nervous that one could not speak, When the Iron-winged Black Scorpion, which was almost severely injured and dying, used its final momentum to temporarily push back all the surrounding demonic beasts a few steps, its enormous demonic head suddenly turned around. Its eyes, which had almost no emotion at all, were filled with icy coldness from beginning to end, burning with a ball of despair and a trace of madness.
“Ang!”
A shrill scream resounded throughout the entire cave. The Fifth Grade demonic beast suddenly pounced towards the Heavenly Vermillion Fruit beside it. In the distance, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu were greatly shocked. In the vicinity, all the demonic beasts roared out in unison. In an instant, countless figures pounced over.
However, no one could compare to the Iron Winged Black Scorpion.
The dying Tier 5 demonic beast was the closest to the Heavenly Vermillion Fruit. It was about to take out the upper half of the spirit medicine in one bite. Of course, it also included the Heavenly Vermillion Fruit that countless demonic beast humans coveted and swallowed in their stomachs.

Shen Shi half-opened his mouth. He stared at the strange scene of the sudden change with astonishment. He watched helplessly as the priceless Sixth Grade Vermillion Fruit was eaten by the Iron Winged Black Scorpion. He felt helpless and frustrated. At the same time, he also felt that Zhong Qingzhu, who was hiding with him in the Void Illusion Formation, was almost standing close to his back against the stone wall. His body trembled violently.
Perhaps everyone had that kind of mood?
Moreover, it wasn’t just the two humans. The high-grade demonic beasts surrounding the Iron-winged Black Scorpion also exploded after a moment of dumbfounded expressions. The strange fragrance in the air was still as intense as fire, stimulating the nerves of every high-grade demonic beast. All of the demonic beasts’ eyes were bloodshot, and they desperately pounced towards the Iron-winged Black Scorpion again.
If you can’t eat the Heaven Rejuvenating Vermillion Fruit, then you’ll have to eat this body!
This was the cruel and heartless world of demonic beasts!
In the blink of an eye, three or four demonic beasts hung on the body of the Iron-winged Black Scorpion amidst roars. Blood flew out from between its sharp teeth, and large chunks of flesh and blood were torn apart crazily. A terrifying and horrible beast feast was about to take place.
However, at this moment, from the depths of the Iron-winged Black Scorpion’s dying body, a ray of light suddenly lit up. It was a completely different light from the pillar of light that descended from the sky, but it was enough to resist the Chamber. It carried a faint red color as it swept across the Iron-winged Black Scorpion’s body.
“Ka ka ka ka …”
A strange sound rang out, as if a hard shell was flipping and bones were reborn. It echoed in this ancient cave. The surrounding demonic beasts seemed to have sensed something and suddenly quieted down.
The Iron Winged Black Scorpion slowly raised its head.
Shen Shi, who was standing in the distance, suddenly held his breath. Looking from afar, he actually saw the body of the Iron-winged Black Scorpion. All the remaining shells were slowly trembling, and then slowly changed into a different color.
A bloody red.
The entire giant demonic scorpion’s originally black-brown body began to change color strangely at this moment. A completely different aura was constantly emanating from its body. It was the smell of the Heavenly Vermillion Fruit. A heavy pressure that seemed suffocating came from this constantly changing demonic scorpion’s body. From afar, Shen Shi felt that his chest was so stuffy that he was unable to breathe.
A thought flashed through his mind like a bolt of lightning. In an instant, his hair stood on end as he whispered in astonishment,
“This is … Could it be that the Iron Winged Black Scorpion is about to advance?”
Legend has it that among the countless types of demonic beasts in the Primordial Chaos World, there were seven ranks. The highest seven ranks of demonic beasts were descended from the primordial times. They were actually ancient divine beasts that weren’t inferior to divine dragons. They only existed in legends, and there were only a few of them.
Therefore, rank six demonic beasts were actually the strongest demonic beasts that people could see. At this level, demonic beasts were already unimaginably powerful. Ordinary human cultivators simply did not have the strength to resist in front of them. Only Origin Core Realm Daoist Priests with heavenly dao arts could possibly contend against them with the help of some miraculous magic treasures.
Such a powerful demonic beast had long disappeared after the humans ruled over the Primordial Chaos Realms.
However, the signs on the Iron-winged Black Scorpion’s body were clearly exactly the same as the legendary situation where powerful demonic beasts evolved, mutated, and even broke through their bloodline limits, advancing heaven-defying. Obviously, the root of this was the powerful spiritual effect of that peerless spiritual medicine, the Heaven and Earth Vermillion Fruit.
Such a situation was rare, rare in ten thousand years, but it was happening so truly in this cave at this moment. Perhaps it was because the medicinal power of this Heavenly Vermillion Fruit was too strong, or perhaps the Iron-winged Black Scorpion’s own cultivation had already reached the peak of a Tier 5 demonic beast. Thus, the two of them had this heaven-defying phenomenon, but no matter what, this scene had already happened in front of everyone and all demonic beasts.
An unprecedentedly powerful, crushing, completely new Tier 6 demonic beast, the Iron Winged Black Scorpion … No, perhaps it had already changed its name to the Iron Winged Blood Scorpion, and was about to be reborn in this cave.
At that time, there would be no other path for the surrounding demonic beasts besides death.
Of course, it also included the two humans hidden in the shadows of darkness.

In the darkness, Zhong Qingzhu’s hands and feet were ice-cold. Even though she was so far away, she still felt a depressed feeling that was completely suppressed by the Iron-winged Blood Scorpion’s aura. Despair seemed to be like a poisonous insect that wrapped around her heart, desperately devouring her confidence.
Was he really wrong this time?
Facing the legendary incomparably powerful rank six demonic beast, all the rank four demonic beasts seemed to be subdued, trembling with fear, let alone a weak woman like her? Zhong Qingzhu looked blankly at everything in front of him, but for no reason, he suddenly remembered his life.
It seemed to be such a hurry, a short life filled with many dark memories.
It was because the pain she remembered was much more joyful than happiness that her memories of the past were so dim. However, there was still some shining light within. In the depths of the dim light, she could vaguely see the man beside her.
It has been a hard journey. For myself, for my mother, for the sake of climbing the stairs of people, will I one day stand at the brightest and most brilliant place?
Who would know what she had paid for this dream?
Or was it that only in the darkness did his memories feel a little warmer? She turned her head slightly and tears suddenly appeared in her eyes in the shadows. She suddenly missed the warmth so much.
So she stretched out her hand and gently grabbed his palm.
At the very least, this warmth should accompany him before he died.
She closed her eyes and leaned against the stone wall, waiting quietly as if she had given up all hope. However, at this moment, she suddenly felt the palm she was holding tighten.
