Chapter 200 The Key
Fellow villager?
Xiao Weiqing was startled.
The black-robed figure stepped past the scorpion demon, removed his cloak to reveal a human face, but it had unidentified purple patterns, making him look quite eerie.
"People from Great Xia, it seems we really are from the same hometown."
Du Meng spoke, his voice low and harsh.
"Who are you?"
Xiao Weiqing asked, "If you're clearly human, why are you with the demon race, and even in the same group?"
"The Demon God Cult?"
Xiao Weiqing's pupils contracted as he suddenly remembered something.
The Demon God Cult is a group of madmen who believe in the Demon God. They think the world should be ruled by the demon race, and they even make themselves neither human nor ghost. The poisonous marks on their faces are signs of their demonization.
Du Meng grinned maliciously, "The Demon God Cult? You could call it that."
"For the sake of being from the same hometown, hand over this three-star person to me, and I'll let you leave."
"Du Meng, don't forget your identity. I want the key, and these two people must die too."
The scorpion demon in the lead clearly disagreed with Du Meng and had no intention of letting the two go.
"Why don't you two discuss this first? Then we won't bother you any longer."
Xiao Weiqing pulled Pertz back.
The scorpion demon in the lead flashed and blocked the two's retreat.
Du Meng said, "Scorpion Fiend, you capture that three-star man, and hand him over to me."
"Pertz, watch yourself."
Pertz swallowed hard, took three seeds from his pocket, and threw them on the ground.
The seed quickly burrowed into the ground, and the next moment, three lush green vines sprouted from the ground and wrapped around it.
"Let's do it."
With a shout, Du Meng charged toward Xiao Weiqing.
Instantly.
A sudden gust of wind arose, whipping up a sandstorm with a deafening roar emanating from its center.
"cut!"
With a single sweep of the blade, flames erupted everywhere, and like the end of the world, a rain of fire fell from the sky.
"Boom~~"
Six of the nine scorpion demons died instantly, without any resistance, and were burned to ashes.
The other three third-realm scorpion demons disappeared into the desert and their whereabouts are unknown.
huh~~
Just now.
A sandstorm struck, engulfing Xiao Weiqing.
"What a pity."
Du Meng stood in the center of the sandstorm and said calmly.
Xiao Weiqing raised his hand and felt it was quite heavy; this was the effect of the sandstorm.
"Still want to resist?"
"Die."
With a wave of his hand.
Countless spikes of sand, formed from the sandstorm, flew toward Xiao Weiqing.
Xiao Weiqing looked down at him with disdain and said, "Is that all?"
next moment.
Boom! ~~
A terrifying energy surged forth, and the power of the third realm erupted from Xiao Weiqing's body.
"Flame Domain!"
A sea of fire rose from the center of the sandstorm zone, eroding the sandstorm at a visible speed.
"What?"
The poison clouded his pupils, making him look dazed and incredulous.
Although he had only just entered the third realm, his strength was no less than his.
The initial shock was replaced by jealousy and murderous intent in Du Meng's eyes.
"Damn it, it must be a level 6 extraordinary talent. Why don't I have such extraordinary talent?"
If he had such extraordinary talent, how could he have ended up like this? He wouldn't have joined the Demon God Cult, wouldn't have suffered inhuman pain, and wouldn't have become neither human nor demon.
"cut!"
In the fiery realm.
Xiao Weiqing appeared beside Du Meng like a ghost and slashed down with his sword.
"Hmph~~"
The arm fell off.
Du Meng retreated while clutching his wound, but his speed was no match for Xiao Weiqing's.
He leaped up and slashed again.
It chopped straight down.
Du Meng was thrown backward, the wound on his chest so deep that the bone was visible.
In the fiery domain, Du Meng's black robe had been burned away, and even his spiritual energy outer garment could not withstand the flames, revealing his jet-black skin.
"Your strength is nothing special. Why do you have to be a transvestite instead of a decent human being?"
Suddenly.
Xiao Weiqing paused, his brows furrowing.
"wrong."
Open your palm.
His pupils contracted.
"When?"
Xiao Weiqing's palm was pitch black, and black threads flowed upwards along the blood vessels, invading his arm.
"Haha...you think that's all the tricks I have?"
Du Meng stood up, took out a bottle from his pocket, and a drop of black liquid flew out, carrying an evil aura, and flew into Du Meng's mouth.
A violent power suddenly erupted from his body, and his black body rapidly recovered. The granulation tissue of his wounds twisted and began to heal.
With a beast-like growl, the lines on Du Meng's face spread again, leaving not a single patch of intact skin.
Xiao Weiqing's spiritual energy overflowed, and he discovered that countless tiny particles were floating in the air.
These particles are constantly invading his body, suppressing his spiritual energy.
"You must be feeling bad."
"This is the venom of Ran Jie, the Great Elder of the Ink Scorpion Demon Clan."
"Flame Dragon~"
Boom!
The flames surged, and the crimson dragon devoured the poisonous mist, not even having time to scream.
The world became quiet in an instant.
the other side.
Pertz's three vines danced, constantly fending off the scorpion's attacks.
but.
It's only a matter of time before the vines are breached.
"Go to hell!"
The scorpion's tail suddenly extended and stabbed at Pertz.
Pertz waved his hand to block again, but to his surprise, the vines did not budge.
Puff~ Puff~ Puff~
Three figures sprang from the ground; they were the three scorpion demons who had initially burrowed underground, each holding a vine root in their hand.
Despair gripped Pertz's heart. He instinctively twisted his body, but was still grazed in the waist by the scorpion's tail sting.
"Hand over the key, or I'll make you wish you were dead."
"Don't even think about it."
Pertz knelt down, clutching his wound, but the toxins continued to invade his body.
"Cut off his limbs."
The three scorpion demons behind him looked cruel as they approached Pertz.
"cut!"
A single, sweeping strike.
The three scorpion demons were instantly torn apart.
Xiao Weiqing, his face streaked with jet-black lines, walked over like the Grim Reaper.
Scorpion was shocked and glanced at the charred corpse behind Xiao Weiqing.
Without any hesitation, they disappeared into the desert and fled.
After the scorpion demon left.
Xiao Weiqing dropped the Thousand Flame Blade from his hand and collapsed to the ground.
"Xiao Weiqing, how are you?"
"You should leave now."
Hearing Xiao Weiqing's weak voice, Pertz was filled with guilt.
"Hurry... that scorpion demon could come back at any moment."
Looking at Xiao Weiqing covered in toxins, Pertz seemed to have made a decision.
A drop of emerald green liquid, condensing in his hand and carrying a refreshing fragrance, was handed to Xiao Weiqing.
The other hand.
He pulled a box out of his pocket.
"This is one of the keys to opening the temple. Please give it to Vidon for me."
"And what about you?"
"There's only one drop of Azure Lotus Jade Liquid," Pertz said sadly.
Suddenly.
huh~~
A scorpion tail shot out from under the sand, piercing Xiao Weiqing's chest.
"Snapped!"
A fiery palm grabbed the scorpion's tail.
puff~
A heart-wrenching scream echoed from beneath the desert.
"Get out here."
Xiao Weiqing pulled hard and dragged the scorpion demon out from under the sand. It was the scorpion demon that had been pretending to escape.
"I've been waiting for you!"
Grab its tail, swing it up in place, and slam it to the ground at a 180-degree angle.
After being struck several times in succession, Scorpion's pupils dilated, and his consciousness began to blur.
Boom~~
Samadhi Fire surged from Xiao Weiqing's body, burning away the toxins within.
The scorpion was burned to ashes along with it.
"You...you..."
Everything happened so fast that Pertz didn't even have time to react.
"My key."
Pertz lunged at the box of keys.
Xiao Weiqing got his hands on the box containing the key first.
"you....."
Xiao Wei is now glowing with health, showing no signs of the weakness he had just displayed.
"No wonder we kept getting ambushed by demons along the way, turns out it was this thing."
"The key carries the power of the gods, and the demon race has ways to detect it," Pertz explained.
"Is it that dangerous?"
"For your safety, I'll keep it for you."
"No, give it back to me."
Pertz stood up, but stumbled due to the poisoning.
"Hurry up and drink the Azure Lotus Elixir, or you'll die."
Three hours later.
Two young men slowly walked out of the desert border.
Pertz, who had been sullen, finally spoke up: "Did you do this on purpose to trick me into handing over the key?"
Xiao Weiqing chuckled. "You haven't said a word for three hours, just thinking about this?"
"Um."
