Even though his flying ship was much faster than that True Lake Stage cultivator's flying ship, Mo Wuji did not relax at all. He could indeed shake off the other party, but since the other party could intercept him midway, it was obvious that they knew his destination. Moreover, he had to go to the Thorny Wind Gate, so he was in a dilemma.
He had to think of a way to step into the True Lake Stage, as long as he did so, he would have a chance of getting rid of that Great Circle True Lake Stage cultivator.
If the difference in power was too great, no matter how good his calculations were, he could still lose his life.
Just as Mo Wuji was standing at the front of the flying ship, thinking about how he could get rid of the fella chasing after him, the flying ship started to shake violently. Before Mo Wuji could understand what was going on, his spiritual will detected an endless number of demonic beasts charging towards him.
These demonic beasts looked like scorpions, with two huge pincers and a tail like a steel whip. What made his scalp tingle was that these demonic beasts had densely packed legs. The big ones were two to three meters long, while the small ones were one to two feet long.
Mo Wuji did not hesitate at all as he immediately turned the bow of the flying ship.
This was the first time he saw this thing, but it wasn't the first time he heard of it. While they were travelling, Chu Qianlou mentioned that there was this Space Scorpion among the space beasts. Moreover, the Space Scorpion was one of the top ranked space beasts. These things weren't strong individually, but Space Scorpions always swarmed forward in battle. Moreover, these things were extremely poisonous, whether it was bitten, pinched or stung, they would be poisoned.
Once bitten, one would be poisoned. Countless scorpions swarmed over. Once bitten countless times, even the accumulation of poison could be fatal.
Even a True God Stage expert would find it hard to escape if he was trapped by the endless number of Space Scorpions.
Seeing Mo Wuji's flying ship return, that True Lake Stage cultivator was elated. Without hesitation, he charged towards Mo Wuji's flying ship, and at the same time, slashed down with his twin blades.
Mo Wuji knew that if he didn't keep his flying ship, this attack would destroy his flying ship. He could use the flying ship to block for a while, then continue his escape. But now that his flying ship was destroyed, where could he go? The other flying ships in his storage ring weren't as fast as this True Lake Stage cultivator.
Mo Wuji kept the flying ship and the elemental energy within his 102 meridians started to circulate at the same time. Violent energy surged out from his Tian Ji Pole.
At this moment, there was no other way, he could only meet force with force.
"Boom!" His elemental energy exploded and Mo Wuji spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His entire body was sent flying and he happened to meet the Space Scorpions which covered the entire sky.
At this moment, the True Lake Stage cultivator also understood why Mo Wuji had to escape back. Even if he met so many Space Scorpions, he would still have to escape.
Unfortunately, because he was in a hurry to kill Mo Wuji, even though he dragged Mo Wuji into the Space Scorpion horde, he was also dragged into the Space Scorpion horde.
It was too late for regrets now. The most important thing now was to figure out a way to stop these Space Scorpions.
At this moment, Mo, Space Scorpions Stage, Spirit or Channel, Star, Mo Mo, Star. Space scorpion Stage, Star. Scorpion. Space Star Scorpion's fighting style, Star, Star, Qi, Stage, Mo. Mo. Mo, Star Star Star Stage. Mo star star star.
The Star Scorpion's fighting style was biting and stinging. Mo Wuji discovered that some of the stronger Star Scorpions could even shoot out invisible poison needles.
He accidentally got hit by two needles. Fortunately, he had plenty of antidotes on him. At the first moment, he forced the poison needles out, and swallowed the antidote.
At this moment, Mo Wuji knew that he should have a defensive magic treasure. He rummaged through his magical equipment ring for a while and finally found a somewhat shabby concave shield. This concave shield belonged to Jing Gumu. After he refined Jing Gumu's storage ring, he obtained a few decent spiritual equipment, and this concave shield was one of them.
As he continuously shot out lightning bolts, Mo Wuji refined the concave shield as fast as he could. During this period, a few more invisible poison needles hit him.
The moment the concave shield appeared, it turned into three concave defensive grooves. Mo Wuji's pressure was instantly reduced. At this moment, Mo Wuji wanted to scold himself. He actually didn't think of refining a few defensive magic treasures first. Indeed, one does not learn from experience. After today's incident, Mo Wuji knew that refining a few more magic treasures wouldn't do him any harm. Fortunately, even though there were many Star Scorpions, they weren't very strong. This gave him a chance to refine a few defensive magic treasures.
Mo Wuji hurriedly continued to scan through his storage ring. He discovered that other than this defensive magic treasure, there were two other slightly inferior defensive shields. These two defensive shields were from the True God Stage cultivator's storage ring.
He rarely saw people using defensive magic treasures. He wasn't sure if it was because defensive magic treasures were worth more than offensive magic treasures. Unfortunately, his Heaven Crow Natural Silk Armour had already been destroyed. If it wasn't destroyed, it would still be of some use at a time like this.
After forcing out the poison needles, Mo Wuji released large amounts of lightning bolts. The surrounding Star Scorpions were also killed in large numbers.
Mo Wuji guessed that his Scholar's Heart would be more useful against these Star Scorpions.
Now, he didn't dare to take out his Scholar's Heart. At least before that True Lake Stage cultivator was killed, he didn't dare to casually reveal his Scholar's Heart.
There was no need to think about how valuable the Scholar's Heart was. Just based on the fact that he almost lost his life to get it, he knew that it wasn't just an ordinary item. Ever since Mo Wuji came to this cultivation world, the Scholar's Heart was the most difficult treasure he obtained. Or rather, it was the only decent treasure he had.
Mo Wuji's spiritual will landed on that True Lake Stage cultivator. He realised that this True Lake Stage cultivator actually didn't have any defensive magic treasure.
At this moment, his situation was even worse than Mo Wuji's. Even though he was strong, he lacked an area of effect killing skill. That large amount of blade radiance was unleashed. Indeed, large numbers of Star Scorpions were killed every time. However, there were too many of them. No matter how strong this True Lake Stage cultivator was, no matter how many Star Scorpions he killed, he would eventually die from exhaustion.
Mo Wuji was elated. As he continued to kill the Star Scorpions, he took out another defensive shield. When he tried to refine this defensive shield, Mo Wuji knew that he had done an idiotic thing.
Two defensive spiritual items were taken out at the same time. His spiritual will immediately turned sluggish. In just a few moments, he was consecutively shot by a few invisible poison needles.
Mo Wuji hurried to keep the defensive shield behind him. With a pale face, he forced out the poison needles and used a large amount of lightning to block the Star Scorpions.
Mo Wuji finally understood why it was rare to see cultivators using defensive magic treasures. It was because defensive magic treasures expended too much spiritual will. If not for the 102 meridians supporting him and the fact that he started tempering his spiritual will in the Mortal World, he might not have been able to hold on.
Even so, he could guess that he wouldn't be able to hold on for long. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji no longer had the mood to continue killing the Star Scorpions. As he killed the Star Scorpions, he moved.
If he wanted to escape from this group of Star Scorpions, it would definitely be impossible without a killer move. Even though these Star Scorpions were charging towards him crazily, it wasn't that they didn't have any basic instincts. For example, if he wanted to break out of the encirclement, more Star Scorpions would block his way.
It was possible to break out of the encirclement, but he had to get rid of this True Lake Stage cultivator first.
That True Lake Stage cultivator was killing the surrounding Star Scorpions in a frenzy. His body was also shot by many poison needles. At this moment, he didn't even have the energy to care about Mo Wuji. From his point of view, it was already so difficult for him to hold on. Mo Wuji would definitely have an even more difficult time.
Mo Wuji was already not far behind this True Lake Stage cultivator. While this True Lake Stage cultivator was killing the surrounding Star Scorpions, Mo Wuji shot out ten invisible swords. At the same time, a few huge lightning balls were shot towards this True Lake Stage cultivator.
This True Lake Stage cultivator was trapped by the endless Star Scorpions. He only wanted to charge out of this place as soon as possible. How could he have the time to differentiate the spatial ripples around him? By the time he realised that these spatial ripples weren't from the Star Scorpions, it was already too late.
"Pff! Pff! " Two rays of blood light shot out from this True Lake Stage cultivator's body. This True Lake Stage cultivator immediately knew that he had been ambushed. He quickly moved to the side, but before he could regain his footing, a voice came from behind him. "Boom! Boom!" Two intense lightning balls exploded beneath his feet.
Both his legs were blasted off by the lightning balls. The surrounding Star Scorpions weren't so kind as they pounced towards this True Lake Stage cultivator.
This True Lake Stage cultivator turned to look at Mo Wuji in despair. He didn't even try to defend against the Star Scorpions that were pouncing towards him. He knew that even if Mo Wuji didn't attack, he would definitely die today. In such a situation, he definitely wouldn't be able to escape from the Star Scorpions' encirclement.
Mo Wuji wasn't going to show any mercy. He didn't even try to push away the poison needles on his body. Another invisible sword pierced through the True Lake Stage cultivator's forehead.
This True Lake Stage cultivator loosened his grip and his entire body disappeared within the group of Star Scorpions.
Mo Wuji hurriedly shot out another bunch of lightning bolts to blast away the surrounding Star Scorpions. Only then did he swallow a few antidotes.
In just a short period of time, the True Lake Stage cultivator had disappeared without a trace. He was engulfed by the endless number of Star Scorpions. After these Star Scorpions engulfed the True Lake Stage cultivator, they surged towards Mo Wuji like a raging storm.
Mo Wuji kept his concave shield. Under the control of his spiritual will, his Scholar's Heart turned into a flaming shield to protect his entire body. Thereafter, he charged out frantically. If he didn't charge out in a hurry, even with his three elemental storage channels, he would eventually die of exhaustion from being surrounded by the endless number of Star Scorpions.
Countless Star Scorpions turned into ashes the moment they came into contact with the flames of the Scholar's Heart or their corpses fell into space.
Mo Wuji was secretly rejoicing. Fortunately, there were only a lot of Star Scorpions and their defensive capabilities weren't strong. The moment he met a demonic beast with strong defensive capabilities, he could use his Scholar's Heart to set up a shield around him. However, under the assault of these terrifying Star Scorpions, it was quickly destroyed. After he refined the Scholar's Heart, its offensive capabilities were far from when it was without an owner.
However, Mo Wuji wasn't worried about this. He knew that as he grew stronger, the Scholar's Heart would definitely advance.
The densely packed Star Scorpions were directly burnt to death by the Scholar's Heart. Even more Star Scorpions instinctively blocked Mo Wuji's escape route.
