What a heavy palm. Xu Yun was indeed somewhat careless. Because Scarlet Scorpion's scorpion tail needle had attracted too much of his defensive attention, Xu Yun had neglected Scarlet Scorpion's martial arts. After all, Scarlet Scorpion was a first-rate expert. His fists and palms contained enough internal energy to shatter stone powder.
Scarlet Scorpion's chest had taken Xu Yun's kick, so his situation was clearly very bad. His gasping for breath was much heavier. Scarlet Scorpion had never thought that the guy in front of him would use two slippers as bait and actually attack from the top of his head.
"Who the hell are you!" Scarlet Scorpion stared at Xu Yun with rapt attention. An expert of this level would certainly have a resounding reputation in the underground world, but how come he had never seen this person before? Could it be that he was Feng Qiansui's hidden secret weapon?
"If you can beat me, then it won't be too late for me to tell you. Unfortunately, I won't give you this opportunity." Xu Yun took advantage of Scarlet Scorpion's gasping for breath to quickly adjust his meridians and blood. After all, he was still an experienced pharmacist and knew how to adjust his condition to its peak at any time.
Scarlet Scorpion's eyes flashed with a cold light. "Isn't it a bit early to talk big? Do you really think my scorpion tail needle is that easy to deal with?! "
The instant his voice fell, Scarlet Scorpion's body once again crouched on the ground and shrunk. The instant his body suddenly exploded, countless cold rays shot into the sky from his raised right leg without any pattern!
Xu Yun wrinkled his eyebrows. Could it be that his kick just now had already caused that guy's most basic accuracy to be lost?
"Sky Covering Needle Rain!" Scarlet Scorpion sneered, and his entire body suddenly retreated at high speed.
Not good! Xu Yun secretly said in his heart. He raised his head, and just as the moonlight that had been blocked by the dark clouds revealed itself, a sky full of silver light directly poured down from the sky! It was simply an inescapable net of attacks.
Xu Yun didn't have the time to think too much. Beneath his feet, Swimming Dragon Treading Waves, he nimbly dodged to the back. If he couldn't dodge this, then he would directly become a hedgehog! Could it be that this bastard's body really had that many poisonous needles?
With this dodge, Xu Yun immediately retreated more than twenty meters. He was inwardly shocked by the large attack range.
Soon, the left arm that was grazed by the scorpion tail needle felt a faint stinging pain again. Xu Yun could not help but frown. He was a little worried about Chou Yeon. Even he could not guarantee that he would not be injured, let alone Chou Yeon.
Xu Yun was worried that Chou Yeon had also been hit by the Scorpion Tail Needle. Xu Yun felt that the poison on the Scorpion Tail Needle was very strong. If it was not treated in time, it could easily be life-threatening.
No matter what, he had to end the battle quickly! Even though Xu Yun didn't know about Chou Yeon's condition, he was very clear that Chou Yeon already had almost no combat strength left. Therefore, it was very likely that she had already been struck by the Scorpion Tail Needle. He was very clear that the longer he dragged on his battle with Scarlet Scorpion, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.
Xu Yun's biting cold gaze looked at Scarlet Scorpion, who was thirty meters away from him. Xu Yun, who had not killed for a long time, finally had the intention to kill. As long as he could break Scarlet Scorpion's right leg, there would be no suspense in this battle.
Boom! Xu Yun struck first to gain the initiative. He gathered strength under his feet and shot out. His entire person charged towards Scarlet Scorpion like a hot knife through butter. Scarlet Scorpion was not someone who would sit and wait for orders. Even though the rain of needles just now did not injure Xu Yun, it gave him enough time to adjust his meridians and blood. Scarlet Scorpion, who had basically recovered, met the attack without hesitation!
The two people's fists and palms collided. At this time, they were competing purely on inner strength!
From the very beginning, Xu Yun had focused on the aura and inner strength. Shizun had said that inner strength was the foundation of all fist techniques. A fist without inner strength was no different from cotton. Furthermore, Xu Yun liked to study medicinal theory. He had concocted many medicinal pills to recuperate inner strength.
Therefore, in terms of inner strength, Xu Yun had never lost to an expert of the same realm as himself. Now, he naturally believed that he would not lose to Scarlet Scorpion!
As expected, two waves of inner strength exploded between the two of them. Scarlet Scorpion's heart surged. So strong! This guy's inner strength was definitely at the peak of first rate experts!
In order to ensure that he did not receive more damage, Scarlet Scorpion hurriedly withdrew his inner strength and quickly retreated. How could Xu Yun give him the chance? He pressed forward step by step.
In his panic, Scarlet Scorpion directly raised his leg and threw out his scorpion tail needles!
At such a close distance, Xu Yun naturally would not miss the chance. He split his palm to block Scarlet Scorpion's attack. His right fist gathered strength and suddenly shot out like a bullet. It was as fast as lightning, and it directly hit Scarlet Scorpion's right leg!
A wave of intense pain directly traveled from Scarlet Scorpion's leg to the nerves above his head. Scarlet Scorpion completely disregarded his image and awkwardly fled several meters away. Using both his hands and feet, he simultaneously shot out hundreds of scorpion tail needles. Only then was he barely able to seal off Xu Yun's pressing footsteps.
Xu Yun's attack was very clear. As long as he broke Scarlet Scorpion's right leg, it was equivalent to twisting the scorpion's tail off!
Without waiting for Xu Yun to continue forward, Scarlet Scorpion once again used the Sky Full of Needles Rain! The experienced Xu Yun quickly retreated. He had already figured out the attack range of the Sky Full of Needles Rain, so he easily escaped to a distance of twenty meters away.
The pitter-patter of silver needles once again shot into the ground. Even the roots did not penetrate!
"It's useless." Xu Yun's smile carried a bit of provocation. After figuring out Scarlet Scorpion's attacks and weak points, he was completely confident that he could quickly finish off his opponent in the next battle!
However, Scarlet Scorpion coldly laughed. He suddenly fished out a black and white medicinal pill from his inner pocket. Facing Xu Yun's gaze, he directly threw the medicinal pill into his mouth.
Xu Yun stared blankly. Did this guy catch a cold? How did he even eat white and black?
That's not right … If he caught a cold, then he should be eating black pills at night. What was that black and white thing? Xu Yun's mind quickly filtered through. Suddenly, he was startled. Could it be that Scarlet Scorpion had eaten a forbidden medicine — the Yin-Yang Pill!
That was a forbidden medicine that could instantly raise a person's state of mind and combat strength by a level! It was named the Yin-Yang Pill because this kind of thing was truly terrifying. It was completely a medicinal pill that shortened one's lifespan. However, its effects were undeniable. If a second-rate expert were to eat it, their strength would directly reach the realm of a first-rate expert. And if a first-rate expert were to eat it, their strength would directly reach the realm of a super-expert!
Obtaining an increase in strength naturally came with a price. If it was light, it would shorten one's lifespan. If it was heavy, it would result in death! Therefore, the Yin-Yang Pill was directly classified as a forbidden medicine. The reason this thing had always existed in the underground world was entirely because of its profits. This kind of expensive thing was not something an average person could afford.
Xu Yun would never have thought that Scarlet Scorpion would use this kind of method to kill a thousand enemies, but he was very clear in his heart that it was impossible for him to win against a super-expert! Even if it was a pseudo-super-expert under the influence of a forbidden medicine, he would absolutely not be able to defeat him.
Scarlet Scorpion's body suddenly shot out. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of Xu Yun. Xu Yun was caught unprepared. He had never thought that Scarlet Scorpion's speed would increase to such a terrifying degree after eating the Yin-Yang Pill!
Boom —!
A solid thunderbolt directly struck Xu Yun's left chest. Xu Yun's originally regulated and stable meridians were once again in turmoil. His heart rolled, and his entire body flew out like a kite with its string cut. A mouthful of pus and blood spurted out from his mouth!
This kind of difference in strength was like the difference between heaven and earth. Xu Yun had absolutely no possibility of counterattacking. Without waiting for Xu Yun's body to hit the ground, Scarlet Scorpion had already swept a leg over. Xu Yun's entire body was swept away by the swift and fierce force of the kick and flew out over ten meters. He forcibly smashed into another thick willow tree and fell to the ground.
The dark clouds that had covered the moonlight completely dispersed. Scarlet Scorpion stood under the moonlight and looked at Xu Yun lying on the ground in front of him. He coldly laughed. "You are the first person who can force me to take medicine."
Hearing the enormous noise, Qin Wan 'er once again leaned on the windowsill. She looked at the scene in front of her with astonishment. Xu Yun was lying on the ground with a trace of fresh blood hanging from the corner of his mouth. The enormous willow tree was pressing down on his leg. Scarlet Scorpion stood in front of Xu Yun, his entire body emitting an invincible aura.
Scarlet Scorpion suddenly turned his head to look at the windowsill on the second floor of the Medicinal Cuisine House. A pair of sinister eyes met Qin Wan 'er's four eyes. Qin Wan' er's entire body went limp. Only at this moment did she completely understand why Xu Yun had repeatedly emphasized not to provoke this wanted criminal. It was because with just this kind of savage gaze, Qin Wan 'er had been defeated. Her entire body was unable to move according to her own control of any matter …
A black shadow flashed, and Scarlet Scorpion had already leapt onto the windowsill. He looked at the little policewoman sitting paralyzed on the ground in the room, as well as Chou Yeon, who had already been tormented by the poison of the scorpion tail. A strong sense of accomplishment suddenly rose in his heart.
"Hand over the little girl, and I won't kill you," Scarlet Scorpion said to Qin Wan 'er. A cruel smile hung at the corner of his mouth.
Qin Wan 'er actually didn't know how to resist under the powerful pressure of his aura.
…
Xu Yun closed his eyes. Even his breathing had stopped. He hadn't thought that he would be able to survive. According to normal circumstances, it was simply impossible for him to withstand Scarlet Scorpion's all-out attack. But now he was very certain that he was still alive.
He was alive only because he had to be alive! If he died, he wouldn't be able to protect anyone. He wouldn't be able to protect anyone. Xu Yun didn't want to lose anyone by his side. The scene of Yin Long's tragic death once again assaulted his mind …
Xu Yun wouldn't allow anyone to harm the people he wanted to protect! The instant Yin Long's smile appeared in Xu Yun's mind, Xu Yun suddenly pushed away the willow tree that was pressing down on him and stood up. He was no longer able to control the heart demon that had been suppressed in the depths of his body. The heart demon suddenly erupted!
Scarlet Scorpion, who had already leapt onto the second floor of the Medicinal Cuisine House, heard the noise from downstairs. His entire person was stunned. He turned his head and looked at the standing Xu Yun with an astonished expression.
Wasn't he already dead a moment ago? How could a person who wasn't even breathing stand up? Scarlet Scorpion's eyes were filled with inconceivable amazement. Impossible, absolutely impossible! He didn't believe it!
"Scarlet Scorpion, I'll say it one more time. Your opponent is me." The corner of Xu Yun's mouth, which was stained with blood, faintly raised an evil and cold aura. The biting cold light in his eyes was as if he was possessed by the god of death, brimming with chilliness.
Impossible! Scarlet Scorpion's pupils suddenly enlarged by several times. His figure flashed again and directly leapt out of the Medicinal Cuisine House. The shape of his palm changed. His five fingers formed a claw as he grabbed at Xu Yun's face! The Yin-Yang Pill allowed Scarlet Scorpion's speed to increase substantially. He believed that Xu Yun absolutely couldn't dodge this attack of his!
However, the situation was completely unexpected. Scarlet Scorpion's claw completely grasped empty air. Immediately after, a burst of unbearable pain came from his chest. The instant Xu Yun dodged, he had already sent out a swift and fierce punch, striking Scarlet Scorpion's heart!
The instant Scarlet Scorpion was blasted flying, his eyes still flashed with disbelief! After eating the Yin-Yang Pill, his strength had already increased to the realm of a super expert. How could he be hit by a first-rate expert who couldn't even withstand a single blow?
"Clang!" Scarlet Scorpion's body heavily fell to the ground. The corner of his mouth flowed with scarlet blood.
