Chapter 457: Breakthrough to Xuan Rank

Chapter 457: Chapter 457: Breakthrough to Xuan Rank

Chen Feng’s aura had been at the pinnacle of the Yellow Rank Perfection. Now, however, his aura began to surge, showing signs of wanting to rise to the Xuan Rank.

"This is..."

Black Scorpion frowned as he sensed the continuously rising aura within Chen Feng, and then he realized with shock, "You’re actually making a sprint for the Xuan Rank!"

Chen Feng opened his eyes and looked at Black Scorpion, his lips curling into a slight smile, "Congratulations, you guessed right!"

Upon hearing this, Black Scorpion’s face turned extremely ugly in an instant.

Putting aside whether Chen Feng could succeed in his breakthrough.

It was known that making a breakthrough in one’s realm was the most vulnerable time for an Ancient Martial Cultivator.

During a breakthrough, a cultivator’s True Qi would be used to surge against the bottleneck of their realm, and all of their attention had to be devoted to the breakthrough.

At this time, the cultivator’s defense was at its weakest. If someone were to attack then, the one attempting the breakthrough would surely die. This was extremely dangerous.

Hence, most cultivators would generally seek out a safe and hidden place to make their breakthrough at such times.

But what about Chen Feng? He was making a breakthrough right in front of Black Scorpion amidst combat.

This was clearly showing utter disregard for Black Scorpion as an opponent!

This made Black Scorpion extremely angry, his teeth itching with hatred.

"Kid, you dare to make your breakthrough at this moment. Do you really think I, a Xuan Rank Early Stage expert, do not exist?"

Black Scorpion clenched his teeth and said in an infuriated voice.

Chen Feng simply ignored Black Scorpion and closed his eyes again to continue with his breakthrough.

This drove Black Scorpion nearly mad with rage!

"Ah! If I don’t crush your bones and scatter your ashes today, I, Black Scorpion, swear I’m not a human!"

Black Scorpion roared with a face full of anger.

After speaking, Black Scorpion charged directly at Chen Feng, planning to take advantage of Chen Feng’s current breakthrough and kill him in one fell swoop!

However, just as Black Scorpion was about to reach Chen Feng, a short figure suddenly appeared, blocking in front of Chen Feng.

This figure was none other than Little Pillow, who had just exterminated those eleven Assassins.

"Kid, scram! This is a feud between Chen Feng and me, and I advise you not to interfere. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!"

Black Scorpion gritted his teeth and said coldly.

"Big bad guy, bleeeeh!"

Little Pillow stuck out her tongue at Black Scorpion and made a funny face.

"You’re freaking asking for death!"

Black Scorpion was already on the edge of anger, and Little Pillow’s taunting face drove him to completely lose his reason. Without regard for the consequences, he mobilized his True Qi and attacked Little Pillow, starting a fight with her.

However, in terms of strength, Little Pillow was slightly superior to Black Scorpion.

In terms of True Qi, Little Pillow’s resentful energy was even more sinister than Black Scorpion’s Scorpion Poison True Qi.

Thus, after several rounds of combat, Black Scorpion couldn’t do anything to Little Pillow and was even put into a rather sorry state by her resentful energy.

After another collision with Little Pillow, Black Scorpion was forced to stagger backward more than ten steps, while Little Pillow only retreated five or six steps.

Seeing this, Black Scorpion’s eyes became bloodshot with anger, "This is all your doing! Since that’s the case, don’t blame me now. Today, even if I have to pay a heavy price, I will make sure that both of you go to Hell!"

Having said that, Black Scorpion gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, causing a large amount of deep purple True Qi to burst out of his body.

"Poison Scorpion Descent!"

With a move of his will, that purple True Qi gathered swiftly in front of him, eventually forming into a huge deep purple scorpion!

The big scorpion was entirely comprised of the concentrated Scorpion Poison True Qi from the Black Scorpion, exuding deep purple radiance all over. Venomous fumes swirled around it, giving off an eerie feeling.

Biting his teeth, the Black Scorpion looked at the forming Big Poison Scorpion and, with grim determination, bit the tip of his tongue violently, then spat a mouthful of Essence Blood onto the Big Poison Scorpion!

As the Essence Blood sprayed out, the Black Scorpion’s face instantly turned dead white, and his breath weakened considerably.

The Essence Blood was completely drenched onto the Big Poison Scorpion.

Suddenly, the Big Poison Scorpion burst into dazzling light, and a terrifying aura emanated from within it.

"Eh?"

Little Pillow frowned upon seeing this.

Because the energy fluctuation emitted by the Big Poison Scorpion even made him feel a fatal threat.

Little Pillow quickly mobilized grudge energy to prepare his defenses, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

"You should stop your futile efforts. Now that you’ve forced me to use this move, at the cost of great damage to my Primordial Energy, you must die!"

The Black Scorpion said with a cold laugh, full of confidence.

This move, Poison Scorpion Descent, was his strongest one. It was already extremely powerful, and with the addition of his Essence Blood reinforcement, an ordinary Xuan Rank Early Stage expert who took it head-on would be seriously injured or even avoid it if they were Xuan Rank Middle Stage experts who dared not take it directly.

Therefore, Black Scorpion was confident that this move would definitely be able to take out Little Pillow!

Then, without any further hesitation, he made a slight gesture with his hand.

The terrifyingly powerful Big Poison Scorpion charged straight at Little Pillow.

Little Pillow frowned.

Facing the full force of a Xuan Rank expert’s attack, it would obviously be wisest to dodge and not meet it head-on.

But now, it couldn’t dodge because Chen Feng was behind it, making a breakthrough, and he had to protect Chen Feng!

Thus, Little Pillow hastily mobilized grudge energy and formed a barrier of grudge in front of itself to withstand the attack.

"Simply asking for death!"

Seeing this, a disdainful smirk formed on the Black Scorpion’s lips, and then he slightly concentrated his mind.

The Big Poison Scorpion directly lashed its tail, aiming its stinger at Little Pillow’s grudge barrier.

"Buzz!"

The stinger, radiating chilling coldness, struck the barrier, and in an instant, the grudge barrier shattered.

Little Pillow was momentarily stunned; it hadn’t expected the Big Poison Scorpion to be so ferocious and to shatter its protective barrier with just one hit.

But in that moment of shock, the Big Poison Scorpion’s tail lashed out at it again.

Little Pillow wanted to dodge.

However, in terms of speed, it was not its forte, and it was utterly outmatched by the Big Poison Scorpion.

So, before Little Pillow could even begin to move, the Big Poison Scorpion’s tail landed heavily on it, slamming into its tiny body.

"Ptui!"

Little Pillow spewed a mouthful of black blood and was thrown back four or five steps before finally steadying itself.

But at this point, it had already sustained serious injuries.

After all, it was a Xuan Rank expert’s life-risking strongest technique that had hit it. Even though Little Pillow had a unique constitution, it still couldn’t withstand it.

"HAHAHA, die!"

Seeing Little Pillow vomit blood almost made the Black Scorpion ecstatic, and then he prepared to control the Big Poison Scorpion to deliver a fatal blow to Little Pillow.

Because at this moment, Little Pillow was already seriously injured, and it was an excellent opportunity to strike a killing blow.
