Chapter 1186 – Sand Scorpion Attack
While the Demon Kings were chatting idly, the battle was escalating.
At the city gates, the limbs were piled up, the blood dyed the sky red, and the sand beasts and cultivators were killing red.
In a battle at this level, even as a Heavenly Demon powerhouse, one was powerless to dominate one’s own destiny.
Two days later, the northern city gate that had suffered the most impacts was indeed overwhelmed and was broken through by the wave of sand beasts that came after it.
Countless sand beasts rushed into the city along the broken gates, and some sand beasts, under the command of the Sand Beast King, surged towards the other three gates.
While Xu Chuniang was reinforcing the formation, she always detached a portion of her mind to focus on the battle at the city gates.
After the northern city gate was breached, a large number of Sand Scorpions poured in from outside the city.
Seeing that the Sand Scorpions did not follow the other Sand Beasts to rush towards the other three city gates, but instead searched the marketplace door-to-door, she knew that there was no hiding from what was coming.
The Sand Scorpion King she had offended was unable to do it himself due to the agreement, but it was able to take advantage of the city breaking down to drive the Sand Scorpions against her.
Xu Chuniang withdrew her gaze and pondered her response.
With a hurried glance just now, a rough estimate showed that there were nearly a hundred Sand Scorpions that had entered the city.
With her and the vines, they could barely cope with this batch of Sand Scorpions if they went all out.
But the Sand Scorpion King had suffered a loss in her hands, and knew her strength, and if he wanted to get serious, he would send out more than just these Sand Scorpions.
So she had to take the initiative and take care of these Sand Scorpions before they found her.
Xu Chuniang stopped reinforcing the formation and drove the Soul Breath Vine into the depths of the earth, passing through a small half of the Sand City and quietly approaching towards the Sand Scorpions.
The Soul Breath Vines moved stealthily and were able to travel freely through the ground, and this assassination was effortless for them.
However, the massive deaths of the Sand Scorpions soon caught the attention of the Sand Scorpion King.
It could tell at a glance that the cause of death of these Sand Scorpions was caused by the Soul Breath Vines.
That devil cultivator who dared to offend him, did he really sink?
The Sand Scorpion King ordered the remaining Sand Scorpions to gather together while probing out his demonic thoughts and following the scent of the Soul Breath Vine to search for the other party’s hiding place.
Sand City was this big, it didn’t believe that it couldn’t find her as a person!
The Soul Breath Vines moved quickly and had a hidden scent, but there was a large realm gap between them and the Sand Scorpion King.
The Sand Scorpion King personally took action, and quickly followed the scent of the Soul Breath Vines and deduced Xu Chuniang’s location.
Only just as its demonic thoughts were about to probe into the courtyard, they were bounced back by a formation.
The Sand Scorpion King flicked its tail, “Heh, so you’re hiding here.”
After confirming the location of its opponent, it began to give orders to its subordinates, causing the Sand Scorpions to enter the city and surround the courtyard where Xu Chuniang was.
The rest of the Sand Beast Kings were a bit puzzled when they saw the Sand Scorpion army going in the wrong direction.
“Scorpion King, what are you doing? Why don’t you let your men support the remaining few gates?”
The Sand Scorpion King spoke coldly, “I want to settle a little personal grudge first.”
“Personal grudge?”
The rest of the Sand Beast Kings didn’t understand, but only the Sand Rhinoceros King’s eyes flashed with excitement, and with a hefty smile, he took the initiative to clear up the confusion for the rest of the Sand Beast Kings.
“You guys don’t know, right, the Scorpion King’s pincers were chopped off by a Heavenly Demon Realm human demonic cultivator, at this moment, he is probably probing into that demonic cultivator’s residence, and letting his subordinates go to take revenge for him.”
On that day, it fought with the Sand Scorpion King and both of them were seriously injured, and it was even a little bit more injured as it was poisoned by the scorpion poison.
In order to avoid the poisonous injury from worsening, it hurriedly fled, and before it left, a human demonic cultivator happened to break into that territory.
Seeing that the other party is only a sky devil cultivation, the sand scorpion king naturally did not put in the eyes, immediately wanted the other party’s life. The Sand Rhinoceros King wasn’t too sure what happened after that, but when it came across the Sand Scorpion King again a day later, the other party had only one pincer left.
Sand Scorpion King’s wound, the breath of the law is very rich, in all likelihood, it is that celebrity demon cultivator’s hand.
Upon hearing this, the rest of the Sand Beast Kings were both curious and somewhat surprised.
“It can’t be, the Scorpion King’s pincers are very hard, how could a Heavenly Demon Realm cultivator be able to cut through its pincers?”
“Rhinoceros King, you and the Scorpion King have always been at odds, and you’ve even been pressed by it several times, when you say that, you can’t be deliberately squeezing it, right?”
The Sand Rhinoceros King raised its head and spewed out a mouthful of hot air.
“Heh, do I have to lie about such things? Think about it carefully, if the other party is of Demon King level cultivation, according to the rules, they can’t make a move.
These Sand Scorpion pups are running this trip for nothing.”
The rest of the Sand Beast Kings looked at each other with complicated expressions, already believing most of the Sand Rhino King’s words.
However, since that person was able to injure the Sand Scorpion King, could some ordinary Sand Scorpions not be able to help that person?
A Sand Beast King tried to open his mouth, “Scorpion King, why don’t we just focus on the big picture and break down the remaining three gates first ……”
“Hmph!”
The Sand Scorpion King impatiently interrupted the other party’s words, his gaze coldly sweeping over the rest of the Sand Beast Kings, finally landing on the Sand Rhinoceros King’s body as he spoke indifferently.
“What big picture or not, all I know is that the person who injured me needs to be repaid tenfold and a hundredfold!”
After settling that demonic cultivator, it would settle the score with this stupid sand rhinoceros!
Persuasion was fruitless, and the rest of the Sand Beast Kings were dissatisfied in their hearts, but they did not say anything more.
The relationship between the various Sand Beasts was not an iron bucket, merely maintaining a superficial peace.
It was understandable that the Scorpion King had suffered such a great loss and wanted to get his revenge back.
Under the Sand Scorpion King’s command, hundreds of Sand Scorpions poured into the city from the north city gate, heading towards Xu Chuniang’s location.
The huge number of Sand Scorpions surrounded the already small mansion with three layers inside and three layers outside.
Just waiting for the Sand Scorpion King to give the order, they would launch an attack on the formation in front of them.
The Soul Breath Vine sensed something bad, “Damn, these annoying Sand Scorpions are getting more and more numerous! It’s impossible to kill them all, it’s simply impossible to kill them all!”
“What to do, what to do, why don’t we call up the female devil and escape together?”
“Escape? Where can we escape to, the south city gate is about to be breached, there are sand beasts everywhere outside, the entire city is in danger ……”
Xu Chuniang quietly listened to the ramblings of the vines, since they were targeted by the Sand Scorpion King, she hadn’t let the vines strike again.
The divine souls of the vines weren’t weak, but they weren’t a match for the Sand Scorpion King, and once they were attacked by the Sand Scorpion King’s divine soul, they would be lifeless.
The Sand Scorpion King had used his demonic thoughts, and had actually violated the agreement that strong people above the Demon King level could not strike.
It was just that it hadn’t done anything out of the ordinary, and in response, the Demon Kings had apparently turned a blind eye to it, seeing it as if it were nothing.
Seeing the vines grow more and more flustered, Xu Chuniang finally spoke, her tone unhurried.
“What’s the point of panicking, I’ve already set up a formation against the Sand Scorpion and invested a large amount of magic crystals into it to maintain the normal operation of the formation.
At that time, the formation will trap a portion of the Sand Scorpions, and all you need to do is follow my arrangements, and you’ll be able to get through this crisis with ease.”
