1048: Chapter 1041 Flame Scorpion 1048: Chapter 1041 Flame Scorpion Bao Yutao and Bao Yuqiang, who had originally been prepared to enjoy the show, stared dumbfoundedly at Kong Fei on the ground, his head smashed to bits.
Their eyes were as wide as lanterns, completely taken aback.
Had Ye Chenfeng actually broken through to the peak of the Sect Level so quickly?
And had Kong Fei really just been killed in a single blow by Ye Chenfeng?
This threw Bao Yutao and Bao Yuqiang into complete disarray.
With the speed Ye Chenfeng had just displayed, he was now clearly superior to middle-stage Venerable Level experts.
Although his strength was only on par with middle-stage Venerable Level fighters, this speed alone made Ye Chenfeng capable of instantly killing any Venerable Level middle-stage opponent.
Bao Yutao and Bao Yuqiang exchanged a grave look, their eyes heavy with unease.
They immediately increased their middle-stage Venerable Level Soul Force within their bodies.
Considering Ye Chenfeng’s recent performance, even if Bao Yutao and Bao Yuqiang joined forces, they no longer had absolute confidence that they could defeat him.
Furthermore, Ye Chenfeng still had Shen Mingxuan, Cheng Dahhu, and Xiao Liyuan who could fight on his side, making Bao Yutao and Bao Yuqiang feel even more uneasy, a hint of retreat creeping into their minds.
Having increased his Venerable Level middle-stage Soul Force, Bao Yutao did not immediately make a move.
Instead, he tentatively asked, “Ye Chenfeng, what do you say to putting aside our grievances for now?
Once we leave this place, we can have a good fight.”
“Right, my brother is correct.
This is a time for unity.
Who knows what other dangers might be lurking underneath this desert?” Bao Yuqiang hastily chimed in, aware of his brother’s intent.
For them, buying time to survive was their true intention.
Ye Chenfeng casually shrugged his shoulders and said, “I’m not in the habit of keeping enemies close.
To me, you two are like ticking time bombs.
I’m afraid if given the chance, you wouldn’t hesitate to strike at us, would you?”
“You were both so arrogant just a moment ago.
Why don’t you both come at me together?
It would provide an excellent opportunity for me to sharpen my skills,” Ye Chenfeng sneered as he continued.
Seeing that Ye Chenfeng was not taking their suggestion, Bao Yutao and Bao Yuqiang realized that it was pointless to continue speaking with him.
The only way for them to survive was to deal with Ye Chenfeng.
Bao Yutao subtly signaled Bao Yuqiang with a glance.
Then, Bao Yutao pleaded, “Ye Chenfeng, what will it take for you to temporarily spare us?
As long as your demands are reasonable, we can accept them.
We can even take the lead for you under this desert, which would greatly reduce your danger.”
“Chenfeng, don’t listen to them.
Just deal with those two bastards,” Cheng Dahhu spat out.
However, just as Cheng Dahhu spoke, Bao Yutao, who had just been begging for mercy, suddenly launched an attack at Ye Chenfeng.
Bao Yuqiang quickly followed his brother’s lead.
Their pleas had been a ruse to distract their target.
Their real plan was to catch Ye Chenfeng off guard with their attack, thus significantly increasing their chances of killing him.
Shen Mingxuan, seeing Bao Yutao and Bao Yuqiang’s sudden aggression, urgently warned, “Chenfeng, be careful!”
Although Ye Chenfeng’s attention had been momentarily drawn by Cheng Dahhu’s words, he was not one to let down his guard in front of enemies.
As soon as Bao Yutao and Bao Yuqiang moved, Ye Chenfeng was ready.
He looked at them as they charged towards him and couldn’t help but smirk coldly, saying, “If you three had attacked me together just now, you might have had a chance to defeat me.
But now, with only the two of you left, you’re no match for me.”
Ye Chenfeng used the Storm Profound Step Method, skillfully dodging the attack from Bao Yutao and Bao Yuqiang.
Then, with powerful punches, he struck fiercely at their backs.
“Bang!
Bang!” Two muffled sounds rang out; Bao Yutao and Bao Yuqiang stumbled and, as they fell to the ground, spat out mouthfuls of fresh blood.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Two silver needles shot out from Ye Chenfeng’s hands, sealing the acupoints of Bao Yutao and Bao Yuqiang, temporarily rendering them immobile.
Ye Chenfeng hoped to extract some information about the Heavenly Alliance from the two.
Cheng Dahhu, upon seeing Bao Yutao and Bao Yuqiang lose their ability to move, eagerly walked over with a gleeful expression, “After encountering these Heavenly Alliance folks, I’ve been holding in quite a bit of frustration.
Chenfeng, let me have a go and relieve some of it first.”
Lying on the ground with their acupoints sealed, Bao Yutao and Bao Yuqiang tried to speak again, moving their lips.
But just then, a rustling sound came from the direction of the city gate.
As Ye Chenfeng and the others looked toward the city gate, an incredulous look appeared in their eyes.
They saw a giant red scorpion emerge from the gate, at least two meters long and about a meter tall, moving rapidly towards them.
Since Ye Chenfeng and Lin Xinyi had been dragged into the city gate by vines just a moment ago, they hadn’t been in the mood to explore what was inside the gate, so they hadn’t noticed this giant red scorpion until now.
It was likely agitated by the commotion here.
The scorpion, with four small legs on either side of its body and two fiery red pincers in front, had its poisonous tail high and raised, looking filled with malevolence, inciting an alarming fear in those who saw it.
“Damn, what the hell is that?
Don’t tell me that’s a scorpion?
How many strange creatures are there under this desert?” Upon seeing the giant red scorpion, Cheng Dahhu no longer felt like venting his frustrations on Bao Yutao and Bao Yuqiang.
As the giant red scorpion drew closer, Ye Chenfeng carried Lin Xinyi at his waist with his right hand, sensing that the creature was not to be trifled with.
He said to Shen Mingxuan and the others, “Mingxuan, let’s back off a bit.”
Bao Yutao and Bao Yuqiang, unable to move, watched as the unknown terrifying creature drew closer, sending them into utter panic.
Bao Yutao yelled from his throat, “Don’t go, save us first.”
But as Bao Yutao shouted, the giant red scorpion was already in front of him, and its tail pierced Bao Yutao’s body.
In two to three seconds, Bao Yutao was dead, and afterward, the giant red scorpion began tearing at Bao Yutao’s flesh with its pincers, swallowing chunks of his flesh.
Bao Yuqiang, drenched in his brother’s blood, watched in horror as his brother was devoured by the giant red scorpion.
He was so frightened that cold sweat covered his forehead, and he lost control of his bodily functions.
His throat was incessantly dry-heaving; where was the composure of a Venerable Level Middle Stage powerhouse now?
After the red scorpion had consumed all of Bao Yutao’s flesh, it turned its attention to Bao Yuqiang.
Seeing this, Bao Yuqiang screamed hoarsely, “No, no, no—”
But the only response he got was the poison needle on the tail of the scorpion.
With the venom entering Bao Yuqiang’s body, he too died within seconds, and the giant red scorpion began devouring his flesh.
This scene caused Lin Xinyi, still held by Ye Chenfeng at his waist, to feel waves of nausea; the view was simply too sickening.
Xiao Liyuan swallowed hard before asking, “Chenfeng, what do we do now?
We have no way out behind us, and the only way to leave is to enter the city gate and look for clues.”
“Right, I remember my father once told me a story, and the protagonist was the Flame Scorpion.
This giant red scorpion in front of us looks almost exactly like the Flame Scorpion from my father’s story.
But my father said that the Flame Scorpion was just a mythical creature; how could it exist under the sands of the Land of Death?
The Flame Scorpion in my father’s story was a very dangerous creature, even more troublesome than Kong Fei and his lot,” Shen Mingxuan said with a frown, speaking his thoughts.
