The yellow sand obscures the sky, and the strong wind howls.

The people who were originally walking steadily on the sandy ground were attacked by a desert scorpion.

The sky filled with yellow sand obstructed their vision, dividing the team into two camps.

In front of Wu Dian and his two companions stood a Foundation Building Mid Stage and a Qi Refining Mid Stage scorpion.

Lu Chuan, Su Lianlian, and Luo Li were dealing with three Qi Refining Late Stage scorpions.

"Meng Senior Brother, quickly take out your weapon, what are you standing there for!"

Luo Li blocked the scorpion's poisonous tail that was charging towards Lu Chuan with her spiritual sword, and sparks even flew between the tail and the sword.

The scorpion was huge in size but extremely fast.

Although the three scorpions only had the cultivation level of Qi Refining Late Stage, their overall strength far surpassed human cultivators of the same realm. With their resilient bodies and complex toxins, it was not difficult for them to kill Foundation Building Stage cultivators.

Lu Chuan, disguised as Meng Qing, of course, was not slow to react.

However, he didn't have a suitable weapon in his hand. The only weapon, the Frost Sword, was recognized by Luo Li, so revealing his identity was inevitable.

He was actually protected by Luo Li while hesitating.

Lu Chuan imitated Meng Qing's tone and said indifferently, "Mind your own business. Just take care of yourself."

After saying that, he walked towards one of the scorpions empty-handed. The spiritual energy in his hand transformed into the shape of a sword. With a gentle swing, the scorpion's body was split in half, and blood flowed all over the ground.

From the split body, a round transparent sphere fell out.

"What is this?" Lu Chuan wondered.

Before Lu Chuan could bend down to pick up the sphere, another Qi Refining scorpion attacked. Lu Chuan skillfully dodged the attack.

As a master at the Foundation Building Late Stage, dealing with these Qi Refining Stage bugs was a piece of cake.

Seeing Meng Qing easily kill a desert scorpion with Qi Refining Mid Stage, as if killing a scorpion of the same level as Qi Refining, Luo Li realized that she had indeed meddled unnecessarily earlier.

Su Lianlian felt unfamiliar with Meng Qing.

Is Meng Qing really this strong?

When he was pestering her, he was only at the Qi Refining Late Stage. He made such rapid progress in such a short time. Did he have some fortuitous encounter, or was he intentionally hiding his strength?

Clearly, even when she and Luo Li were dealing with a Qi Refining Mid Stage scorpion together, it was quite difficult.

The Qi Refining Mid Stage desert scorpion had a strength equivalent to the Foundation Building Early Stage. It was a wild Spirit Beast native to the cultivation world.

With the yellow dust obscuring their vision, Lu Chuan chose to stay close to Su Lianlian to ensure her safety and be able to save her in times of danger. He casually dealt with a Qi Refining Mid Stage scorpion.

He felt that this Qi Refining Mid Stage Spirit Beast was not as good as Sima Dong, at least Sima Dong knew how to change attack methods.

This bug either bites with its mouth or stings with its tail, so boring.

On the other side, Wu Dian and his two companions were retreating under the attack of the Foundation Building Mid Stage scorpion.

Wu Dian could only use his spiritual sword to protect himself from the scorpion's charges and bites.

The two companions barely managed to restrict the scorpion's attacks with its poisonous tail.

To make matters worse, the Qi Refining Early Stage small scorpion that had its tail severed took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on them.

The three of them were rapidly losing their stamina. If they continued like this, they would only exhaust their spiritual energy and die under the scorpions, becoming their dinner.

The skinny companion cried with a mournful face and said, "Wu Dian, what should we do?"

Wu Dian raised his sword to prevent the scorpion's large mouth from tearing at him and said, "How would I know! Instead of crying, why don't you go and slash this bug a few more times?"

The chubby companion complained, "If I had known, I wouldn't have taken this mission. Luo Li didn't get hurt, but I got myself into this mess. The goddess is still waiting for me at the Immortal Gate to have dinner with Spirit Stones. Waaah..."

"Forget about your goddess. She has long been with someone else, she just didn't tell you," Wu Dian said with a chuckle, but his expression changed from emotionless to sinister.

Upon hearing this, the chubby companion threw his sword away and sat on the ground crying loudly while shouting the goddess's name.

"But you did remind me, we can lure this bug to Luo Li."

Without further ado, Wu Dian gave up his defense and swung his sword towards the scorpion's mouth.

The giant scorpion was in pain and completely enraged, charging at Wu Dian at full speed.

Wu Dian quickly dodged the attack with his fastest speed, step by step leading the bug out of the sight of his two subordinates.

Seeing that Luo Li and Su Lianlian were still dealing with other giant scorpions, Wu Dian thought to himself: "Heaven is helping me too."

With a swift slide, Wu Dian passed through the massive body of the scorpion.

The giant scorpion's speed became faster and faster, wanting to bite the man in front of it. But in an instant, the person in front of it disappeared and was replaced by Luo Li.

However, it had no intention of stopping its charge. It wanted to kill everyone it saw.

Luo Li's attention was focused on the Qi Refining Stage bug in front of him. When he noticed something approaching him from behind, it was already too late.

Turning his head, he saw a gaping mouth just two or three meters away from him. Although his brain reacted, his body couldn't keep up.

In that instant, many images flashed through Luo Li's mind. Death was so close to him.

There were scenes of him as a child, watching lantern festivals with his father.

There were scenes of his mother coming to his room on the day of his coming-of-age ceremony, telling him how to live well as a woman.

There were scenes of his older brother betraying the revolution, under the instigation of evil people, and killing their father with his own hands, with his head falling to the ground.

There were scenes of being chased to the edge of a cliff, being saved by the white-clothed female sword immortal, Lin Qingxue.

There were scenes of him joining Lin Qingxue's sect, being mocked and instructed by Senior Brother Lu Chuan under the watchful eye of their master, after losing in a competition.

Various scenes flashed through Luo Li's mind as he thought: "Am I going to die?"

That's fine too. Although I haven't avenged my grievances, I can finally reunite with my father and mother.

Luo Li closed his eyes and accepted reality.

Su Lianlian felt a powerful aura approaching, but her vision was obstructed and she couldn't see anything two meters away. By the time she saw the charging giant scorpion, it was already too late.

The giant scorpion's target was not herself, but Luo Li next to her.

To warn Luo Li, she could only shout, "Danger!"

Wu Dian was overjoyed to see his plan succeeding.

The annoying Luo Li would die because of this.

Not to mention giving a good account to Sima Dong, he could also take this opportunity to escape.

Hiding in the raised yellow sand, Wu Dian thought about witnessing Luo Li being swallowed. As long as Luo Li was swallowed, he would leave immediately.

Just as the giant scorpion was about to bite Luo Li, it unexpectedly stopped and stood still.

Luo Li didn't feel the pain he had imagined and opened his eyes.

In front of him was a magnificent figure.

It was Meng Qing standing in front of him, with a spiritual sword formed by condensed spiritual energy inserted into the scorpion's head.

Just like when he casually killed the Qi Refining Stage giant scorpion before, he killed this Foundation Building mid-stage giant scorpion with one sword.

Although it was their first meeting today, Meng Qing unexpectedly made Luo Li feel familiar.

Am I alive?

Luo Li's heart was filled with joy of surviving a disaster.

Beyond the joy, there was also a sense of familiarity.

He had felt this feeling not long ago.

The giant scorpion fell down, raising more yellow sand. The sand blinded Luo Li's eyes, and his eye sockets were soaked with tears.

The other desert scorpions, seeing their leader being killed, all burrowed into the sand and escaped.

After a few moments, the swirling yellow sand stopped, and the sky became clear blue again.

Only the hot wind whistled on the faces of everyone present.

And the four-meter-long giant scorpion lying on the ground, blood flowing everywhere, reminded everyone present that this was reality.

The whole scene fell silent.

The Foundation Building mid-stage desert scorpion was killed by Meng Qing's sword thrust!?
