The Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect had been preparing for all of this for countless years, investing massive amounts of resources each year. Originally, their plan was virtually flawless, but unfortunately...
Chapter 28 Fusion
The appearance of Xiao Fan and Yun Yun brought about the biggest change to the Wanxie Sect's plan.
More importantly, despite the strength of Scorpion Mountain and Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion, two peak Douhuang level experts, the plan, which was originally a sure thing, and the border town that Scorpion Mountain had specifically chosen to prevent any accidents, still experienced uncontrollable changes.
Scorpion Mountain looked at the wailing Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion in the pit with a pained expression. The Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion was not only the treasure of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, but he had also raised it together since childhood. The bond between him and the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion was very strong. Looking at the scars on the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion's back, Scorpion Mountain felt an intense hatred for Xiao Fan.
Scorpion Mountain's expression was gloomy, his eyes fixed on the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion, his fists clenched, sensing the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion's weak aura, and he couldn't help but curse Xiao Fan in his heart.
"Just what is this Xiao Fan? How could he have so severely injured the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion with a single blow?"
Scorpion Mountain was most familiar with the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion, so when the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion faced Xiao Fan, Scorpion Mountain was very at ease. After all, even a peak Dou Huang would not have an advantage when fighting against the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion, let alone Xiao Fan, who was only a seven-star Dou Huang.
However, Scorpion Mountain did not expect that in just two exchanges, Xiao Fan injured the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion's pincers in the first encounter, and in the second encounter, the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion was severely injured by Xiao Fan. How could Scorpion Mountain not be surprised by such strength?
Realizing that the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion was extremely weak, Scorpion Mountain could only stand at the edge of the pit to block Xiao Fan and the other. Scorpion Mountain turned back to look at Xiao Fan and Yun Yun in mid-air: "Xiao Fan, Yun Yun, my Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect has no enmity with you two. Do you really want to fight to the death with my Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect?"
At this moment, Scorpion Mountain's face was calm, and he spoke lightly, but beneath this calm expression lay a raging fire in his heart.
In order to become the leader of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, Scorpion Mountain not only possesses great strength but also has considerable composure. He knew that being angry at this moment would not be of any use and would only make the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect lose face in front of his opponents. That is why he spoke to Xiao Fan and the other person so calmly.
Upon hearing Xie Shan's words, Yun Yun understood that this was probably Xie Shan's final ultimatum. If the two of them were to continue trying to stop the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, they would likely become mortal enemies with the sect.
The fact that the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect could become the absolute overlord of the Chuyun Empire speaks volumes about its sect's power. Moreover, besides Scorpion Mountain, who is at the peak of the Dou Huang realm, there is also Scorpion Bi Yan, a four-star Dou Zong, who has yet to make an appearance.
However, as the trump card of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, Xie Biyan usually stays within the sect and rarely leaves.
Despite the power of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, Yun Yun showed no fear. She turned to look at Xiao Fan, a resolute glint in her beautiful eyes.
All she cares about right now is the man in front of her, the one who reached out and pulled her out of the abyss when she fell into despair. No matter what choice she makes, she will follow him.
If Yun Yun didn't care about the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, then Xiao Fan naturally wouldn't be afraid either.
Not to mention that the actions of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect had already made Xiao Fan completely disgusted with them, what's more, the system had also issued a task, so Xiao Fan naturally knew what choice to make.
Xiao Fan looked at Xie Shan, who had a cold expression, shook his head, and said, "Xie Shan, I cannot agree with the Wan Xie Sect's approach. Your plan will not succeed."
Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Xie Shan nodded coldly, then laughed twice before looking up at Xiao Fan and Xie Shan with a gloomy expression, saying, "Hehe, good, good indeed!"
"It seems you think my Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect is easy to bully. Now, do you think you can easily control us?"
Xie Shan waved his hand, gathered his sleeves, and stood with his hands behind his back. Then, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and flew into the deep pit, landing lightly on the back of the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion. He looked at Xiao Fan and the other person with a gloomy expression and said, "Originally, according to our plan, the sacrifice of the people of Zhan Yun City was enough to make these demon scorpions grow and give rise to the bloodline of the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion to evolve into a seventh-order demon beast within their bodies."
"At that time, the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion will devour these demon scorpions that contain opportunities for breakthrough, and it will have a very high chance of officially entering the ranks of seventh-order demon beasts. I have been with it since childhood, and we are of one mind and have formed a contract. When it breaks through to the seventh-order demon beast, it will also be able to benefit me. At that time, it will also be the time for me to break through to the Dou Zong level."
As Xie Shan spoke, his gaze toward Xiao Fan and the other man gradually turned sinister and angry.
"Once the plan succeeds, my Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect will have two more Dou Zong. Do you know what two Dou Zong means? At that time, neither the Cloud Mist Sect nor the Heavenly Serpent Mansion will be a match for my Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect. At that time, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect will become the top force in the Northwest Continent. Perhaps, we can even use this opportunity to break into the Central Continent and become famous throughout the Dou Qi Continent. It will all be thanks to you!"
Xie Shan pointed angrily at Xiao Fan and the other man, saying with a somewhat manic expression, "They are just ordinary people from one city. It is their honor to be able to participate in the plan of my Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect and become our nourishment. Let alone just the people of one city, as long as we can succeed, we will spare no effort even if it is the entire Chuyun Empire."
Scorpion Mountain took a deep breath, his expression gradually calming down, but his eyes held a terrifying madness deep within.
"Since you're determined to stop us, it seems our plan is doomed to fail..."
Upon hearing Xie Shan's words, a hint of joy flashed across Yun Yun's face. Could it be that the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect was preparing to abandon its plan?
However, Xiao Fan was not so easily convinced. This villainous boss had told him so much about the plot, how could he possibly be redeemed all at once? Next, he should have a huge burst of inner power and become completely evil.
"Now, all I can do is adjust."
Scorpion Mountain said something indifferently, and then his feet, which were on the back of the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion, gradually sank down and slowly entered the body of the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion.
His aura gradually merged with that of the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion...
"It's alright. As long as I merge with the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion, and with the power of these demon scorpions, we can still advance to the Dou Zong level by devouring all the people in this city. More importantly..."
Scorpion Mountain licked his lips, his eyes fixed on Xiao Fan and his companion with lustful eyes, and said, "Two Dou Huang experts, as long as I can devour you as well, reaching the Dou Zong realm will be a piece of cake, hahahahahaha..."
As soon as Xie Shan finished speaking, Yun Yun's expression changed drastically, while Xiao Fan nodded to himself.
"That's right, that's what makes a crazy villain."
Inside the deep pit, Scorpion Mountain and the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion's bodies slowly merged together. A pale purple energy emerged from their point of connection, gradually enveloping them and disappearing from Xiao Fan and Yun Yun's sight.
The swarm of scorpions that had originally rushed towards Zhan Yuncheng now all changed direction and surged into the light purple energy shield.
"laugh!"
Yun Yun waved her hand and unleashed an arc-shaped sword aura, shattering the demonic scorpions on the ground. However, the demonic scorpions behind her seemed fearless, stepping on the empty space created in front of them, and charged back into the energy shield.
"Alright." Seeing that Yun Yun still wanted to make a move, Xiao Fan reached out and pulled her back, saying, "These demonic scorpions are attacking one after another. They have completely lost their minds at this moment. We can't stop them. Let's save our energy to prepare for the next battle."
Xiao Fan had some recollection of the fusion of Scorpion Mountain and the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion, but not much. After all, in the original story, Scorpion Mountain and the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion died quickly at Xiao Yan's hands after their fusion.
However, no matter how things change, Xiao Fan is not afraid at all.
The swarm of scorpions on the ground rushed into the energy shield one after another. A full quarter of an hour passed before the last scorpion entered the energy shield and there was no more movement.
Xiao Fan glanced at the energy shield that remained completely still, then turned to look at Zhan Yuncheng, a smirk playing on his lips.
laugh!
A thunderous roar resounded, and Xiao Fan's figure instantly appeared within Zhan Yun City. With a gentle wave of his hand, a massive palm print directly slapped the disciples of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect in Zhan Yun City into a salad dressing.
These people were mostly at the level of Battle Master or Great Battle Master, and the few Battle Spirits among them didn't even have time to escape.
Every time Xiao Fan appeared, he took away several lives. The Wanxie Sect disciples who had surrounded Zhan Yuncheng quickly disappeared from this world.
As for the two elders at the Dou Wang realm, they could only glare angrily.
The next instant, they were both incinerated into ashes by the sudden appearance of the void flames within their bodies.
Xiao Fan waved his hand, and the storage rings on everyone's bodies were transferred into Xiao Fan's hand.
Even a mosquito's leg is still meat; little by little, it adds up.
As Xiao Fan slaughtered the disciples of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, faint roars could be heard emanating from within the light barrier.
"Xiao Fan..."
Xiao Fan knew the importance of eliminating any potential threats at the root. If the Yunlan Sect had been more ruthless when they broke off the engagement, or if the Soul Clan had been more merciful when they destroyed the Xiao Clan, Xiao Yan would have been out of the picture.
So don't underestimate these Wanxie Sect disciples just because they have low cultivation levels. The weaker the enemy, the better. If you can kill them with one slap, don't bother arguing with them.
With all the disciples of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect dead, Xiao Fan reappeared beside Yun Yun. Looking at Yun Yun's solemn face, Xiao Fan reached out and tugged at the corner of her mouth, saying with a smile, "Don't be so serious. It's a small problem. Leave it to me."
"Ah."
Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Yun Yun's lips curved into a smile, a tender look appearing in her eyes, and she nodded gently.
While Xiao Fan and Yun Yun were showing affection—or rather, exchanging pleasantries—the energy within the pale purple light shield gradually stabilized.
Then, under the watchful eyes of Xiao Fan and Yun Yun, the energy shield gradually contracted and expanded, then contracted and expanded again, finally breaking open. A pale purple ripple spread outwards, and an indescribable, eerie energy appeared in Xiao Fan's perception. Then, as the dust gradually dissipated, a colossal object appeared in Xiao Fan and Yun Yun's sight.
Chapter 29 The Mysterious Person
The dust kicked up by the explosion of the energy shield gradually settled, and the countless demonic scorpions that had surged into the pit had long since disappeared. Scorpion Mountain and the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion had now transformed into a colossal creature.
A monster with a human head and a scorpion's body is now entrenched in the deep pit.
The upper body resembled Scorpion Mountain. At this moment, Scorpion Mountain's bare upper body was covered with dense, light purple patterns that spread from his waist to his cheeks. His eyes were bloodshot, and he stared fiercely at Xiao Fan and Yun Yun.
Meanwhile, Scorpion Mountain's lower body had completely transformed into the lower body of the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion.
Hard carapace extends from his waist down, eight hard claws grip the ground, and a long scorpion tail rises from behind, swaying continuously in mid-air. The carapace on the scorpion tail makes a series of cracking sounds as it sways.
At this moment, Xie Shan's aura had already surpassed that of Xiao Fan and the other two, and he had entered the Dou Zong realm.
"Dou Zong?"
Yun Yun sensed the aura emanating from Xie Shan and her expression turned solemn.
The difference in strength between a Dou Huang and a Dou Zong is incomprehensible. Sensing the powerful aura emanating from Xie Shan, Yun Yun couldn't help but show a cautious expression.
Unlike Yun Yun's cautiousness, Xiao Fan looked at Scorpion Mountain with curiosity.
"This is the monster you created by combining your powers? It doesn't look that impressive."
Xiao Fan shook his head and said dismissively.
"Hehe, Xiao Fan, I've already advised you to leave. Since you insist on opposing my Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, then don't blame me!"
As soon as Scorpion Mountain opened his mouth, a rough and grating voice came from the air above, causing Xiao Fan to frown. Hearing Scorpion Mountain's words, Xiao Fan curled his lips and mocked, "Forget it, someone like you can't even laugh properly. It seems your story has come to an end."
Apart from Xiao Fan, neither Xie Shan nor Yun Yun understood what Xiao Fan meant by "hehehe".
Although he couldn't understand what Xiao Fan was saying, it didn't stop Xie Shan from sensing the contempt in his tone.
"Boy, you are courting death!"
Scorpion Mountain roared, and its massive body soared into the air, flying towards the two of them. In mid-air, the scorpion tail of Scorpion Mountain after its fusion contained a sharp aura and stabbed towards Xiao Fan.
"That's it?"
Seeing that Scorpion Mountain was still using the same monotonous attack methods, Xiao Fan smiled faintly, gripped the Thousand Flame Spear and struck hard at the scorpion tail that Scorpion Mountain was thrusting at him, and the two made contact.
Ding!
A piercing sound of impact rang out, and Xiao Fan immediately felt the powerful force from the tip of the spear. His eyes narrowed, and he had to mobilize his internal fighting spirit to suppress it.
Having just eased the attack from Scorpion Mountain's tail, Scorpion Mountain had already rushed in front of Xiao Fan and the other two. He looked at Xiao Fan and grinned maliciously, "Hehehe, kid, do you really think I'm still like before? How can you resist the power of a Dou Zong expert?" At this moment, Scorpion Mountain had merged with the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion, and it was unclear whether these words were Scorpion Mountain's own or the beast's own thoughts.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Shan slapped Xiao Fan's head with both hands, his eyes filled with excitement, as if he could already see Xiao Fan's head being smashed by him.
However, Yun Yun, who was standing next to Xiao Fan, would not turn a blind eye. Seeing Xie Shan's hands coming towards her, Yun Yun gripped her long sword, her fighting spirit surging rapidly within her body, and slashed down towards Xie Shan's head.
