ack. They abandoned their two fourth-order White Hair Corpses simultaneously, fearfully moving closer towards Lu Xia Tian. Their bodies shook like chaff, and the terror on their faces clearly showed t...“Phantom Scorpion King, you and I have always kept to ourselves. Now that you, Scorpion King, have reached the late stage of the fusion realm, I am an old man clinging to life, with one foot already in the coffin. My granddaughter alone poses no threat to you at all. In this demon sea, Scorpion King, why must you go to such extremes” Ban Qianzhi lowered his posture and said.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
“There are some things I cannot tell you. As for your lives, both yours and your grandson’s, this king did not care before. It's just that in recent days, several useless people have died, and they are related to your cave dwelling. This king received orders, and if you want to blame anyone, blame your bad luck.” The Shadow Scorpion King didn't look at Ban Qianzhi at all, but looked directly at Lu Xiaodao, "Those useless people should have fallen into your hands. This king likes to deal with interesting people the most. If this king finds you pleasing, I will give you a quick death.”
The Phantom Scorpion King didn't want to waste too much time here. He directly stretched out his finger and shot six azure-black flying needles towards Lu Xia Tian in the void. These six flying needles responded to each other, two in front and four behind, looking like a poisonous scorpion flying through the air.
Lu Xia Tian stood rooted to the spot, his left hand swiping out. Twelve pillars of Xuan fire surged forward, condensing in mid-air once more with the six black flying needles, engaging in a fierce battle.
Ding ding ding, a series of impacts. Under the restriction of magic power, the Xuanhuo column looked slightly larger than the opponent's dark green flying needles in shape, but with every impact, some purplish-green sparks would splash out.
However, facing six black and green flying needles with only two people, they could barely hold their ground.
"To actually block this king's flying scorpion needles, being only at the middle stage of fusion... This king has been rampant in the Sea of Demons for such a long time, and I've never encountered someone like you." The Shadow Scorpion King didn't hide the surprise in his eyes.
In fact, what was most surprising wasn't the Shadow Scorpion King, but the other monsters who heard this. Even Ban Qian and Ban Yao, who had spent quite a bit of time with Lu Xia Tian in the same cave dwelling, were beyond disbelief. The Shadow Scorpion King before them was already a powerful late-stage fusion realm expert. Even though the opponent had only broken through to the late stage of fusion for a few years, their supernatural powers were far from ordinary.
Even though the Flying Scorpion Needle was just an ordinary magical treasure, Lu Xia Tian could easily block it. To Ban Qian Zhi and the others, this was simply inconceivable. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, these monsters would never believe that a cultivator at the mid-Nascent Soul stage could withstand the Shadow Scorpion King's attacks. These monsters were unaware that among the few Nascent Soul cultivators Lu Xia Tian had fought, the Shadow Scorpion King ranked last in terms of strength. And this was his fourth opponent.
Lu Xia Tian remained silent, simply controlling the twelve vermilion fire pillars to fight against the opponent's magical treasures. Among the combined late-stage demon beasts he had fought before, Ye Qian Xun's lotus avatar and Han Feng Xiong Huang were considered strong, while Tu Su Shuang Huang was slightly weaker but still powerful. However, this Shadow Scorpion King seemed lacking in both the purity of his magical power and his control over magical treasures compared to the previous three.
The only advantage the Shadow Scorpion King had was that they were fighting in the Sea of Demons, where his Flying Scorpion Needles had a significant advantage over Lu Xia Tian's Xuan Fire Pillars. Over time, even twelve Xuan Fire Pillars would struggle to match the power of the Flying Scorpion Needles.
Of course, the Xuanhuo Pillar hadn't shown any signs of weakness yet. As for what happened next, Lu XiaTian could only meet force with force.
Even the Shadow Scorpion King was surprised by Yue Dou's strength. In a short time, he unleashed his meticulously crafted Flying Scorpion Needles, but they were unable to break through the defenses. The man in the blue robe with a ghostly face stood calmly, only his extremely tranquil eyes could be seen, seemingly without much pressure.
The Shadow Scorpion King spread his left hand, wielding a green steel whip. Like the scorpion armor on its body, it emanated an eerie green glow. This whip was crafted by the Shadow Scorpion King from his own shed armor, exuding demonic energy and possessing formidable power.
The Phantom Scorpion King's void trembled, and its scorpion-patterned whip swirled through the air, seeming like a living creature.
Lu XiaTian's mouth opened, and a misty flying sword shot out. At this time, the three-foot long sword looked as if it were covered in a layer of faint black smoke, adding a touch of mystery. The Flying Sword was already very solid, and in the air, it clashed with the Scorpion Patterned Whip like two ferocious pythons, biting each other in an instant, then scattering again.

The Shadow Scorpion King's scorpion tail whip was formidable, but Lu Xia Tian's ethereal flying sword possessed even greater power. Since the last time Lu Xia Tian absorbed the Xuyang Spirit Mist, his cultivation had reached a level comparable to that of a late-stage Nascent Soul expert. Furthermore, through the practice of the "Cultivating Heaven and Transforming Spiritual Art," he had cultivated a second dantian, storing nearly two-thirds of his spiritual energy. Even though the Shadow Scorpion King was at a higher realm with more abundant spiritual power, it was impossible for him to defeat Lu Xia Tian in a short period.
With two consecutive attacks blocked by Lu Xia Tian, the Shadow Scorpion King’s face showed a newfound seriousness.
Ban Yao and the other demon tribes were even more astonished. Judging solely from the fluctuation of spiritual energy emanating from Lu Xiaotian's body, it was almost on par with a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. If not for what the Shadow Scorpion King had said, they would have found it difficult to ascertain whether Lu Xiaotian was in the mid or late stages of the Nascent Soul realm. However, regardless of his cultivation level, he had far surpassed their capabilities.
“To actually block this seat's two treasures in a row, not bad, not bad.” The Shadow Scorpion King didn't show the slightest anger on his face, but instead praised a few words with great interest. Before his voice fell, the Shadow Scorpion King only left a faint shadow at the original place, and the shadow gradually merged into the seawater.
And the true form of the Phantom Scorpion King completely vanished, leaving behind an empty space. All that remained were the four of his kin brought by the Phantom Scorpion King, as well as Lu Xia Tian, Ban Qian Zhi, and Ban Yao.
“Phantom Great Law!” Seeing the Phantom Scorpion King cast this divine ability, Ban Qianzhi cried out in surprise, and he and Ban Yao both retreated several dozen miles backward.

At this time, the two of them did not remind Lu Xiaotian about the power of the Phantom Scorpion King's phantom magic. Under such circumstances, reminding Lu Xiaotian that if he were to be distracted by someone whose cultivation level was higher than his own, he would die even faster without being careful.
Lu Xia Tian remained unyielding, still refusing to dissuade Ru Shan from standing where she was. Suddenly, a near-transparent whip shot out, or rather, a scorpion's tail, with no discernible path, swiftly and fiercely lunging towards Lu Xia Tian's chest.
Lu Xia Tian seemed to move slowly, but in reality, he slashed out with a palm strike towards the left, his palm knife directly cutting into the transparent scorpion tail. The scorpion tail possessed incredible resilience, though it was split by Xiao Tian's palm strike, the other section continued to lash menacingly toward Lu Xia Tian.
Lu Xia Tian merely shifted his body slightly, the transparent scorpion tail whipping against his chest. While it appeared capable of splitting mountains, in fact, Lu Xia Tian's slight shift had already dissipated a considerable amount of force. The remaining power, though still significant, was completely manageable by Lu Xia Tian's current physical defenses, and he didn't even need to activate the Five Elements Yuanci Gold Armor.'t you teach him a lesson" 。“Naughty!” Qin Gang scolded, “This person’s cultivation is profound, not much different from mine.
