Chapter 67 Kill! (A four thousand word chapter)
“hiss!”

Seeing that his carefully prepared attack, which had been in ambush for a long time, did not hit the two of them, the poisonous scorpion’s eyes, which were flashing with faint purple light, stared at Luo Chen and the other person in the air, and continued to make threatening roars.

However, facing this threat, not to mention Xuan Zi who was at level 98, even Luo Chen who had just reached level 30 did not take it seriously at all, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

“Boy, you are blessed. Just as we arrived at the core area, we attracted an extremely rare Taipan Poison Armored Scorpion, which happened to be a ten thousand year old one. Your third spirit ring has been found!”

The knowledgeable Xuanzi naturally recognized the species of the giant scorpion, which was about five meters long, under his feet, and couldn’t help but say to Luo Chen happily.

The Taipan Poison Armored Scorpion is a killer that hides underground and is well-known for its physical and venom attacks. Not only has the soul master world listed this type of soul beast as a super-dangerous soul beast, but even the soul beasts themselves hate its behavior.

Unlike the human-faced demon spider, although it is also a demon-like existence among soul beasts, it is likely to only move at night and is almost always camouflaged during the day, while the Taipan Poison Armored Scorpion is hunting all the time.

Any prey that is pierced by the poisonous needle in its tail will be deeply affected by this neurotoxin, causing it to lose self-judgment and eventually lose consciousness, becoming its meal.

“The attack power is pretty good, and the defense power is also acceptable. It is indeed a very suitable choice for my third spirit ring!”

It seemed like a long time had passed, but only two seconds had passed from the time the Taipan Poison Armored Scorpion attacked to now. Luo Chen made an analysis in an instant and then determined the target of the third soul ring.

“Since you think it’s okay, would you like me to help you? After all, this thing is still a bit dangerous. If you are poisoned by the poison of the Taipan Poison Armored Scorpion, which has cultivated for ten thousand years, you may not be able to get out of bed for a month.”

Seeing that Luo Chen had also made up his mind, Xuan Zi spoke.

However, facing Xuan Zi’s kindness, Luo Chen shook his head, and looked at the Taipan Poison Armored Scorpion under his feet with fiery eyes. The scorpion coiled up and seemed to be preparing for its next attack, and said:

“Master Xuan, thank you for your kindness, but it’s just a ten thousand year old poisonous scorpion. There’s no need for you to take action. Please help me stay alert to the surrounding situation. I will deal with this poisonous scorpion. It’s a good opportunity for me to verify my current strength!”

When he was in the academy, even when facing the combined forces of Wu Feng and Ning Tian, ​​Luo Chen was unable to truly use his full strength, and that was when his martial soul had not yet awakened.

At this moment, after his martial soul truly awakened, Luo Chen’s own strength also experienced an incredible increase. He had originally just touched the Soul Sect level, but now he could already suppress an ordinary five-ring Soul King.

But even so, without a strong opponent to fight in actual combat, Luo Chen could only estimate in his mind, and could not truly understand the extent of his own strength.

In his opinion, although the ten thousand year old Taipan poisonous armored scorpion in front of him was very strong, it was far from being strong enough to make him want to retreat. Therefore, Luo Chen planned to use it to test his own strength!

“Okay, since you are sure, then I will not take action. However, this is the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest after all, and I cannot bear to watch you fight here. The risk is too great…”

As Xuan Zi spoke, an extremely terrifying aura burst out from his body. His body, which originally looked extremely thin, gradually swelled up, and his sloppy appearance also changed greatly!

As the nine soul rings beside Xuanzi appeared one by one, the Taipan Poison Armored Scorpion under his feet seemed to be frozen. Under the influence of Xuanzi’s rising aura, its body began to shake continuously.

And when the ninth red soul ring representing a hundred thousand year soul ring appeared behind Xuan Zi, the Taipan Poison Armored Scorpion seemed to deflate in an instant. Its body instantly lost its supporting strength and collapsed to the ground, unable to move at all.

Under Xuan Zi’s deliberate control, Luo Chen was not affected by this aura, but within a one-mile radius around the two of them, all the soul beasts hiding there let out a mournful cry at the same time!
All of a sudden, except for plant-type soul beasts, birds, beasts, reptiles, and any soul beast that could move with its limbs, no matter if they were a thousand or ten thousand years old, all fled frantically into the distance, causing a huge commotion. This was the terrifying aspect of a level ninety-eight Super Douluo!
Just his own aura alone was comparable to that of a ferocious beast that lived for hundreds of thousands of years, causing all the soul beasts with low cultivation to flee. However, such a huge movement also attracted the attention of many powerful people in the core area of ​​the Xingdou Great Forest…

“go!”

Under the possession of his own martial spirit, the Taipan Poison Armored Scorpion, which had only cultivated for ten thousand years, was naturally very relaxed. Xuanzi controlled the gravity and grabbed it through the air, and then took Luo Chen to fly rapidly towards the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

At this moment, deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, next to a huge lake that was as green as jade and filled with powerful life energy, several human figures were sitting cross-legged here, as if they were absorbing the rich life energy here to improve their cultivation.

However, in the next moment, several figures with unusually powerful auras seemed to have sensed something and suddenly opened their eyes.

The middle-aged man in the lead had shoulder-length black hair and golden eyes filled with a fierce intent of killing and destruction. He first emitted an indescribable wave from his body, and then could not help but snorted coldly.

“Humph, during this period of seclusion, another powerful human being dared to enter the core area of ​​our tribe and act recklessly, and there is more than one!”

“Di Tian, ​​do you want me to take care of those human ants?”

Just as the middle-aged man opened his mouth, a terrifying figure sitting next to him, whose whole body was filled with blood and brutality, spoke at this moment.

This figure was not human-shaped like the others, but an extremely large bear-like creature with dark golden hair.

After hearing Di Tian’s words, his pair of sharp claws like blades couldn’t help but tremble slightly, causing the surrounding space to become slightly unstable, as if it was about to shatter.

As he spoke, several figures on the side all looked silently at the dignified middle-aged man who was led by the name of Di Tian, ​​as if they were waiting for his orders.

However, Di Tian’s golden eyes, which had just risen with a sharp aura, slowly closed after glancing at the huge lake in front of him that was filled with the energy of life. He then shook his head helplessly and said:

“Those two humans are very powerful. Even you, Lord Bear, may not be able to defeat them unless I personally take action. But now we only need to wait another ten thousand years for the master to fully recover…”

“At this critical juncture, any unimportant matters can be put aside for now. When the master comes out of retreat, the resentment accumulated between humans and my soul beast clan can be completely settled!”

“Yes!”……

At the same time, in another place in the Star Dou Great Forest, a figure in a gray robe looked in a certain direction in the distance as if he sensed something.

Although this figure did not emit any soul power fluctuations, its unparalleled presence attracted the attention of many powerful soul beasts in the surrounding area, and they all chose to avoid it.

“The breath of an old friend… No, this strong sense of death?”

The gray-robed figure, who originally had a look of reminiscence in his eyes, seemed to have noticed something at this moment. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot like a ghost, silently without a trace of fluctuation.

……

At this moment, in an empty uninhabited area outside the Star Dou Great Forest, in the “field” constructed by Xuan Zi with his soul power, Luo Chen and the ten thousand year old Taipan poisonous armored scorpion were fighting fiercely.

Faced with a Taipan Poison Armored Scorpion that has cultivated for ten thousand years, even Luo Chen, whose martial soul has been awakened, has to be serious at this moment.

“Life suppression!”

After a tentative head-on confrontation with the opponent, Luo Chen’s figure quickly retreated, putting some distance between himself and the opponent. The thousand-year soul ring under his feet also lit up, and an invisible wave spread out.

Under this invisible wave, the Taipan Poison Armored Scorpion, which originally had amazing momentum, now has a visibly declining aura. This is exactly the first soul skill that evolved after Luo Chen’s martial soul awakened!

Any living being within the range of the soul skill will experience a certain degree of decline in strength under the effect of this life suppression. The degree of decline is inversely proportional to the opponent’s own cultivation. The stronger the cultivation, the weaker the effect. Even a seven-ring soul saint is no exception!

The Taipan Poison Armored Scorpion in front of him had only cultivated for ten thousand years. Under Luo Chen’s debuffing soul skill, its original 100% strength had been reduced to 80%, and the limit of the effect of this soul skill was 50%!
“The sigh of death!”

After releasing his suppression skills, Luo Chen did not hesitate at all, and his second soul ring lit up, and a purple light was flowing from under his ruby-like dazzling pupils!
It is the Purple Demonic Eye!

When fighting, Luo Chen always adheres to the principle of “taking one set away” and never drags his feet. After all, for his own sickle, the most suitable way is to burst out with all his strength and kill with one blow, rather than a long war of attrition!

At this moment, after suppressing the opponent’s vitality, soul power and mental power, Luo Chen activated his ability to forcibly deduct the opponent’s vitality, and based on his own Soul King-level mental power, he released the Purple Demon Eye.

After a series of small combos, even the Taipan Poison Armored Scorpion with ten thousand years of cultivation, with its powerful life breath, was decreasing at a very fast speed. In Luo Chen’s eyes, the opponent’s life breath was almost the same as his blood bar.

As long as the life breath runs out, the other party will not be far from death!

Seeing that the time was almost right, Luo Chen hurriedly mobilized his remaining soul power and launched his last move!
“Death Stare!”

After the soul skill was successfully activated, Luo Chen’s figure suddenly became like an arrow released from a bow. He raised the blood-red sickle filled with the breath of death in his hand and rushed towards the Taipan Poisonous Armored Scorpion in front of him, whose figure seemed to be frozen!

“呲-“

As the sound of a blade cutting through paper was heard, Luo Chen’s figure flashed past the Taipan Poisonous Scorpion, but at this moment, a pool of purple liquid appeared on the blade of the blood-red sickle held by Luo Chen.

The next moment, as if it had sensed the liquid on the blade, the bloody scythe of death began to tremble like a living organism and absorbed all the liquid.

After this attack, Luo Chen’s face became noticeably pale, and his soul power was almost exhausted. Fortunately, he still had extremely vast energy and blood power. He just took a deep breath, and his condition recovered again.

At this moment, the Taipan Poison Armored Scorpion, which was originally under the control of Luo Chen’s powerful soul skill, first had a long straight crack on its purple armor under the sharp blade of Luo Chen’s Scythe of Death, and then its body was split into two halves like tofu being cut!
At the same time, as its own star-like energy gradually rose, a soul ring as black as ink slowly condensed and hovered above the body of the Taipan Poison Armored Scorpion!

“Hey!”

Looking at this scene, Xuan Zi couldn’t help but chuckle, with a look of satisfaction on his face, but more of it was the surprise after seeing Luo Chen’s own strange soul skills.

Even though he had been practicing for so long, this was the first time he had witnessed such a strange martial soul and soul skills. First, it was a suppressing soul skill similar to a domain, and then it was a soul skill that forcibly reduced the opponent’s aura, and finally, it directly controlled the opponent like a puppet.

Any soul skill picked out at random from these would be enough to surprise him, but these incredible soul skills were only released by the first-year student in front of him who had the cultivation level of Soul Master.

This couldn’t help but make Xuanzi’s evaluation of Luo Chen even higher!

After seeing the black soul ring rising in front of him, Luo Chen’s eyes showed a hint of joy. He was able to hunt down a ten-thousand-year soul beast by himself and still have some strength left. This showed that his overall strength was already far superior to that of a five-ring soul king!
After all, an ordinary five-ring soul king, if he does not have a charged and explosive ten thousand year soul skill, cannot kill a strong attack type ten thousand year soul beast so easily!

Just as Luo Chen wanted to mobilize his own soul power to absorb the ten thousand year soul ring in front of him, a cross-shaped light pattern suddenly appeared in the center of his eyebrows, and then a huge energy wave appeared in Luo Chen’s body.

Before Luo Chen could react, the cross-shaped light pattern between his eyebrows, along with the ten thousand year soul ring in front of him, disappeared. And next to the two thousand year soul rings floating beside him, a black ten thousand year soul ring appeared out of thin air!

Looking at the suddenly appeared black soul ring, and feeling his own soul power cultivation that seemed to have broken through the bottleneck and suddenly skyrocketed, not to mention Xuan Zi who was looking at this scene with a dazed face, even Luo Chen himself had a complicated expression.

“Is this…reasonable?”
