Flames soared into the sky!
Even the eternally misty vapor of the Cloud Kingdom was evaporated clean.
Dry sky-floating algae were exposed to view, scorched black by Bogong’s inferno.
Heatwaves rolled across the battlefield. Even the thick fog couldn’t resist Bogong’s flames. The entire battlefield became clear, and countless people could feel the scorching air currents slapping their faces!
Bogong retracted his fist.
He let out a surprised exclamation.
In the large pit beneath his fiery fist, the human-skin doll had vanished. In its place was a large, blackened, hardened mass, its surface resembling the dried scab of blood.
Thump~
The hardened mass emitted a tremor, like a heartbeat.
With the tremor, the dried blood cracked, revealing soft flesh tissue, and shattered bone fragments within.
“The moment I threw my punch, you completely let go of your body, using the immense water content of advanced cells to resist the high temperature, and by drawing out your bones to withstand the impact of the fist…”
“I must say, your combat intuition is commendable.”
“If you were still in that doll-like form, you definitely wouldn’t have survived.”
Bogong scoffed at himself, “To think you endured another blow, this battle is truly full of unexpected turns! However… I must kill you!”
His left hand, holding the saber, was raised high.
Bang~
From afar, a jar flew, striking Bogong squarely in the face. Green mist dispersed.
Bogong looked up.
In the distance.
Scorpion stood on high ground, his arms crossed over his chest.
He spoke with a hint of disdain, “I think you should find a more suitable opponent!”
“Scorpion…”
Bogong blew away the green smoke, “These trinkets are useless against me!”
As he spoke, he brought his saber down!
Clang~
In the blink of an eye!
Scorpion had traversed hundreds of meters and appeared directly beneath the descending saber!
He extended a hand from his chest and grabbed the heavy saber!
And brought it to a steady halt!
Scorpion exerted force with his right hand. The saber in his palm distorted under the terrifying wrist strength, as if it were made of soft clay!
Screeeech~
A grating sound echoed. The saber could no longer withstand Scorpion’s torment and shattered into countless iron fragments!
“This toy of yours is quite boring.”
“If it were my original saber, you wouldn’t have been able to catch it.”
Bogong’s treasured saber had not been recovered when he was rescued.
The one he was using now was merely a random substitute.
This had caused Bogong’s saber skills to be greatly diminished, his punches even more effective than his blade.
“You want to save this lump of flesh?”
“I saved it, so what are you going to do about it!”
Scorpion stepped forward, meeting Bogong’s gaze.
Bogong was taller and more robust, standing at approximately 350 centimeters and weighing around 1100 kilograms.
Scorpion, without a potbelly, was also a formidable man, slightly shorter at 270 centimeters and weighing about 400 kilograms.
Yet, before Bogong, Scorpion’s presence was no less imposing!
“Interesting…”
Bogong discarded the shattered saber and swung his left fist, smashing it into Scorpion’s face.
The mask shattered.
Scorpion, however, stood as firm as a mountain!
“Heh, ptooey…”
He spat out a glob of phlegm.
Scorpion licked his lips and said, “That packed a punch!”
Then, he turned, dug out the human-skin doll from the ground.
After a few steps, he hurled it forcefully towards his own side.
Bogong watched silently, with no intention of launching a surprise attack.
Scorpion turned around and provocatively gestured to Bogong, “Come on, let’s continue!”
Boom!!!
Bogong appeared before Scorpion and landed a pure, heavy punch to Scorpion’s chest!
The force of the punch passed through his body!
Scorpion’s back armor, poison sacs, and clothing all turned into fragments!!!
But!
Scorpion still stood firm!
“Scorpion Hand.”
Scorpion began his counterattack!
Even after taking two blows from Bogong, Scorpion still had the strength to fight!
His hand transformed into a blade, stabbing forward!
It plunged directly into Bogong’s thick belly, three inches deep!
Instantly, all the containers and tubes on Scorpion’s body pulsed, injecting all his toxins into the hand blade!
“Useless!”
“These trinkets are useless!”
Bogong roared, placing his hand on Scorpion’s shoulder!
Demon Fire!
Ignited once more!
Under the inferno, Scorpion was engulfed in flames, but the poison on his body seemed to be inexhaustible. Even the fierce flames couldn’t completely vaporize it.
Furthermore, this poison was incredibly resilient, unable to be destroyed even under such high temperatures.
These toxins dispersed with the rising heat of the flames!
Intermingling!
Bogong’s relentless flames shifted from yellow-red to blue-green…
Poison Fire…
Most outrageously, this poison fire spread wider and wider, gradually threatening to cover the entire battlefield!
Ordinary soldiers would die instantly upon contact!
And the closest point to the poison fire was the Terror Clown’s circus.
Within the circus, clowns were in a panic everywhere, stumbling and fleeing. Some sat frozen, weeping silently…
But if one looked closely, a sinister grin could be seen hidden on every clown’s face.
Truly perverted!
And within the circus, there were omnipresent iron scarecrows, lurking in the shadows to startle people.
Some clowns, with cries of horror, suffered fatal heart attacks and collapsed.
But if a scarecrow dared to touch the corpse…
The corpse represented gifts and surprises, did it not?
Fire hoop jumping, beast taming, stitched monster performances.
To show the utmost respect to the fear envoy, the clown brought out all his acts.
In a certain room, a clown peered through a crack in the window at the absurd scene outside, covering his mouth to stifle a laugh.
“Wonderful, truly wonderful, this is the peak of my performance career!”
The clown smoked ecstatically, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
Suddenly, the clown frowned slightly.
“What a delicious smell… It’s a form of immense fear!”
“Let me take a whiff…”
The clown closed his eyes, and visions of thousands upon thousands of people in panic, fleeing in a desperate rush, filled his mind.
And these people were not ordinary.
The scent of ordinary people’s fear was faint.
Unpleasant!
It was thousands of advanced cells trembling, scrambling to survive.
“What on earth is happening?”
“Could it be…”
The clown opened the ventilation duct.
Scorching flames sprayed in like a gas stove, setting the clown’s hair ablaze.
“Gaaah, gaaah, gaaah…”
He plunged headfirst into a nearby fish tank!
Hiss~~
Blue smoke rose.
The goldfish in the tank also floated to the surface.
The clown picked up a goldfish with confusion, his mouth stretched to his ears, the back of his head tilted back. His mouth was filled with steel needles, not a single tooth.
He took a fierce bite.
The goldfish was shredded by the myriad needles!
Chewing, the clown toyed with the half-eaten fish carcass, “The smell of poison… It’s Scorpion’s formula.”
“What is he doing? Is he trying to spread poison across the entire battlefield?”
“Oh, oh, oh, how terrifying, how astounding! What a feat!”
“No, I must hurry and move. If my circus is infiltrated by too much poison, it will affect the guests’ enjoyment of the show.”
…
Riiip~
Riiip~
A sound echoed in the corridor.
From afar…
drawing near…
Bang~
A scythe smashed through the wooden door!
The clown sat on the windowsill, looking at the door, “It seems I’ve been discovered.”
Just then.
A head poked out from outside the window, leaning over the clown’s ear from behind, “Yeeeessss…”
The voice was hoarse.
Like an old, broken record player.
