Chapter 42 The Disappearance of Him
As the thick smoke dissipated, the Poisonous Scorpion King with its pincers remained unharmed, staring at Qian Yuhan and the others as if in a provocation.
"This, how is this possible?" Tang Xuan exclaimed in shock.
Even Tang Chen, who was usually quiet, was stunned and said, "The combined full force of five people was just... neutralized like that?!"
At that moment, the fanged scorpion king vanished in a flash, its massive body disappearing without a trace.
Qian Yuhan immediately became alert and closed her eyes to sense the fluctuations in the surrounding air.
Right behind them, the air began to fluctuate more and more violently.
Qian Yuhan suddenly opened her eyes: "Watch out! Use your defensive skill!"
As she spoke, Qian Yuhan took the lead, her third purple soul ring flashing beneath her feet, and a golden, humanoid phantom embraced everyone.
"Second Soul Skill: Protective Golden Light!" Mu Chen didn't hesitate at the crucial moment. Upon hearing Qian Yuhan's words, he immediately released his second soul skill for defense.
"Third Soul Skill: Haotian Protection!" The third soul ring under Tang Chen's feet lit up, which was Tang Chen's newly acquired third soul skill.
Among the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect, the Clear Sky Body Protection can be said to be an essential soul skill. Therefore, at the foot of the mountain where the Clear Sky Sect has retreated, there is a soul beast that can provide this soul skill—the Iron Horned Rhinoceros, which is specially raised by people.
This is basically the third soul skill of every Haotian Sect disciple. Tang Chen took a week off to go back and challenge the Ironclad Rhinoceros to obtain it.
Tang Chen's Earth-Shaking Clear Sky Hammer has a certain restraining effect on the Ironclad Rhinoceros, so he easily obtained his third spirit ring.
Qian Yuhan, Mu Chen, and Tang Chen unleashed their three defensive skills simultaneously, creating a golden protective shield and an earthen-yellow shield around their humanoid phantoms.
Just as Qian Yuhan had predicted, the Poisonous Scorpion King instantly appeared behind everyone. Its powerful scorpion tail lashed out like lightning, carrying a sharp gust of wind. In the blink of an eye, the two protective shields were easily shattered, producing a crisp cracking sound. The humanoid phantom, unable to withstand such a powerful attack, vanished without a trace.
"What should we do!" Tang Xuan said. "Our defensive skills can only withstand this ordinary whipping."
Everyone stared at the venomous scorpion king with its pincers. A bright green sphere condensed on the scorpion king's chest, and then the scorpion's tail struck out of this bright green sphere.
The sphere flew directly into the sky and exploded about thirty meters above the ground, forming a poisonous fog barrier that enveloped Qian Yuhan and the other six people, including Fang Ya who was hiding in the bushes, as well as the Poison Scorpion King itself.
Inside the green gas hood, toxic fog filled the air.
Qian Yuhan: "Oh no, the Heavenly Dragon Detoxification Pill's effectiveness has been greatly reduced. Damn it—"
Everyone felt dizzy and lightheaded. Fang Ya was the first to give up, staggering out of the bushes before collapsing to the ground, exhausted.
Seeing Fang Ya faint, Mu Chen shouted, "Fang Ya!!"
Then, Mu Chen inhaled a large amount of toxic fog after shouting loudly. His head became heavier and heavier, and he passed out.
Qian Yuhan, Hu Lin'er, Tang Xuan, and Tang Chen were still using their soul power to resist the poisonous fog.
The King Scorpion with its pincers wasn't in a hurry. It planned to watch its prey fall one by one before slowly enjoying its meal. It had deliberately set up this venomous fog barrier so it could feast alone; its offspring and followers simply couldn't get inside…
Tang Xuan and Tang Chen also fainted.
Hu Lin'er's head began to spin, and Qian Yuhan knew that this couldn't continue; they had to break the poison shield quickly.
He stood up and summoned his external soul bone—the Wings of Light.
The light emitted by the wings of light had a certain restraining effect on the poisonous fog. After all, the shield was formed from fog, and the light from the wings dispersed a lot of the fog, making the entire poisonous fog shield appear and disappear.
The venomous scorpion king with its pincers stared at the "stinky bug" flying in the sky, which was emitting a dazzling light...
Scorpion King with Pincers: This light is so annoying! Die, you stinky bug!
Thinking this, the Tooth-Pinned Poisonous Scorpion King leaped up with all its might. Seeing the Tooth-Pinned Poisonous Scorpion King charging towards it, it swung its huge scorpion hook, unleashing a bright green slash that shot straight towards Qian Yuhan.
Qian Yuhan held the Sword of Light in his hand. His second spirit ring flashed beneath his feet.
"Shadow Clone of Light!"
A powerful light emanated from Qian Yuhan, enveloping his entire body. Then, this light split into three. The Poisonous Scorpion King's attack struck the light but did not explode; instead, it passed through the light and continued flying into the sky.
Qian Yuhan managed to dodge the attack by taking advantage of the brief void state during the casting phase of his second soul skill, "Shadow Clone of Light".
Then, the three Qian Yuhans unleashed three Bright Slashes at the Pliers Poison Scorpion King that had fallen back to the ground. The Pliers Poison Scorpion King remained motionless, just like before, without any harm.
Qian Yuhan didn't know how to break through the Poison Scorpion King's defense, so he could only temporarily release the Light Slash in the sky to prevent the Poison Scorpion King from launching a fierce attack on him.
Hu Lin'er on the ground could no longer hold on and fainted.
"Lin'er!!" Qian Yuhan called out anxiously as he looked at Hu Lin'er who had fainted.
Seeing Qian Yuhan's opening, the Poisonous Scorpion King with its pincers swept its tail, sending Qian Yuhan and its two clones flying. Qian Yuhan spat out a mouthful of blood and was unable to control himself as he flew through the air. He was sent flying a great distance before finally falling back down.
Thanks to the cushioning effect of the tree branch, Qian Yuhan eventually clung to the branch and fainted.
There were many snake-like spirit beasts in the tree. One hundred-year-old phoenix-tailed crested snake was eyeing the unconscious Qian Yuhan and was itching to attack. However, a group of monkeys' cries frightened it, and it could only leave dejectedly...
The Poisonous Scorpion King with its pincers knocked Qian Yuhan away, and it was very annoyed about it. After all, it had thrown away one of its own food, and no one would be happy in that situation.
There were only six people to begin with, not even enough to fill a tooth gap, and now there's one less...
Just as the Mantis Scorpion King approached the unconscious group, an ice shield suddenly appeared above it. The ice shield instantly fell, enveloping the Mantis Scorpion King.
The venomous scorpion king with its pincers crashed head-on into the edge of the protective shield, causing it to stumble.
The Scorpion King then used its prized hooks to strike the ice barrier that had trapped it. After about a minute, the ice barrier finally shattered. Because the ice barrier was so thick, it couldn't see from the inside who was tormenting it. Once the ice barrier was broken, it looked around and saw an old man in a dark blue robe standing directly in front of it. Another woman was carrying its "food," seemingly completely ignoring it.
These two people were none other than Ouyang Luoxue and Elder Liu, the Ice God Sect elder responsible for protecting Ouyang Luoxue.
Ouyang Luoxue dragged Hu Lin'er, Tang Xuan, Tang Chen, Mu Chen, and Fang Ya over and put them together.
But Qian Yuhan was nowhere to be found.
When they arrived, they saw the Scorpion King about to attack them. With a single glance from Ouyang Luoxue, Old Liu understood her intention and intervened to stop the Scorpion King. Ouyang Luoxue was then responsible for rescuing the people.
"He's gone!" Ouyang Luoxue shouted to Old Liu.
With a wave of his right hand, Old Liu trapped the Scorpion King under an ice shield once again.
Scorpion King with Toothed Pliers: "Wow, Grandma's Legs*+", @
"Miss, who's missing?"
"How did he disappear... Old Liu, let's take them back to their teacher's post first. There's another person in their team who's missing; something might have happened to him. We'll have to look for him again after we take them back!"
Ouyang Luoxue said anxiously to Old Liu.
"Uh, yes, miss. They've been poisoned, we need to get them to their teacher right away so they can get treatment."
After saying that, Old Liu waved his hand, and everyone present disappeared.
After the Poisonous Scorpion King with its pincers shattered the ice shield, it found no one in front of it.
Scorpion King with Pincers: Aa ...
