During a battle, when one's spirit was highly strained, it was the best time to hone one's martial arts.
Moreover, Ye Xing now used the Black Hole Astrology, which gave him the best conditions to cultivate the Dark Spirit Spear Art.
With the best conditions and the best time to cultivate, one would naturally obtain the best results. Whether it was the Dark Spirit Spear Art or the Heavenly Bat Steps, both had great benefits.
When the Poison Tail Needles could not threaten Ye Xing, the desert scorpions no longer posed any threat to Ye Xing. Ye Xing just had to consume his celestial essence and energy to fight them.
If he did not gain anything, this battle would become an irritating one. Because the desert scorpions did not have any valuable treasures on them, killing them would not be of any use.
However, if one regarded this battle as a process of cultivating martial arts, then the feeling would be completely different. The more Ye Xing fought, the braver he became. The more he fought, the happier he felt.
Ye Xing had a lot of celestial essence and a lot of stamina. After fighting with the desert scorpions for half a day, he finally felt his strength running out. He had consumed too much celestial essence, and even his spirit started to feel tired.
After killing for half a day, Ye Xing had killed at least tens of thousands of desert scorpions. Corpses littered the ground. However, Ye Xing felt that the desert scorpions around him did not seem to have reduced. They were still densely packed, giving people the feeling that they were endless.
Ye Xing wanted to kill them all in one go, but it was impossible. He had to rest to recover his celestial essence and energy.
Dark Spirit Spear!
Dark Spirit Spear!
Dark Spirit Spear!
Ye Xing changed his direction and used the Dark Spirit Spear three times in a row, killing all the desert scorpions within a radius of several dozen feet.
After using three killing techniques in a row, Ye Xing could not help but gasp for breath. However, he quickly brought out an array disc.
In an instant, an array formation light shield, with Ye Xing as the centre, covered a radius of several dozen feet, separating him from the desert scorpions.
This was the array disc given by Lin Fenghua, which contained the grand completion Copper Wall Array!
Even the Copper Wall Formation could not withstand the endless attacks of the desert scorpions forever. However, it could withstand them for four hours without any problem.
In less than an hour, Ye Xing recovered his Celestial Essence and energy. Since the Array Disc on the Copper Wall was still intact, Ye Xing put away the Array Disc and left it for the next time.
As soon as the light shield disappeared, the endless desert scorpions charged towards Ye Xing again.
The Purple Feather Spear shone brightly like a black dragon as it soared into the sky and attacked in all directions. Another massacre began.
In an instant, Ye Xing was surrounded by the broken limbs and remains of the desert scorpions.
After another half a day of killing, another tens of thousands of desert scorpions died under Ye Xing's Purple Feather Spear.
Ye Xing used the Heavenly Bat Steps and the Dark Spirit Spear Art at the same time. After a day of fighting, the desert scorpions' corpses stretched for more than ten miles.
During this time, Ye Xing was attacked by the stingers of the desert scorpions many times. The Spirit Cleansing Pill could only last for about half a day. When the effect of the pill passed, Ye Xing was hit again and had to take a second Spirit Cleansing Pill to detoxify the poison in his body.
In the two massacres, Ye Xing had killed more than 100,000 Desert Poisonous Scorpions. Moreover, he had killed more than 100 Poisonous Scorpion Kings in the battle. Among them, there were several Poisonous Scorpion Kings whose strength was equivalent to that of a Three Star Martial Sage.
Among the 100,000 scorpions, there was a Poisonous Scorpion King equivalent to an Intermediate Martial Sage. Obviously, the highest leader of this group of Poisonous Scorpion Kings was still alive.
Moreover, there were still many desert scorpions around, but they were much fewer than before. There were only about twenty to thirty thousand of them left.
Ye Xing still felt that his strength was not enough to kill all the remaining desert scorpions in one go. Therefore, after half a day of fighting, Ye Xing once again used the Copper Wall Array Disc to separate the scorpions and recover his Star Essence and energy for the second time.
After a day of fierce fighting, Ye Xing clearly felt that his attainment in the Dark Spirit Spear Art had greatly improved. When he used the Dark Spirit Spear Art, it had more Dao Connotation and its power was getting stronger.
However, there was still no qualitative breakthrough. It was still improving in the Small Success Realm.
There was a very long distance between the Small Success Realm and the Great Success Realm. Only by breaking through to the Great Success Realm would the power have a qualitative breakthrough and increase exponentially.
However, Ye Xing believed that one day, sooner or later, his Dark Spirit Spear Art would reach the Great Success Realm.
The Great Success Realm of the Middle Spirit Martial Art was extremely rare even among the Noble Martial Artists. Only then could the true power of the Dark Spirit Spear Art be displayed.
As for the Heavenly Bat Steps, although the improvement was not as great as the Dark Spirit Spear Art, there was still great progress.
The gap between entry and small success was not as big as the gap between small success and large success. The Heavenly Bat Steps had already reached its limit at entry level. He was only half a step away from breaking through to small success. In a short while, the small success of the Heavenly Bat Steps was inevitable.
The Heavenly Bat Steps was a movement technique created based on the bat demonic beast. Bats were dark demonic beasts. Therefore, Ye Xing's cultivation of the Heavenly Bat Steps should also have a bonus effect under the Black Hole Star Avatar.
Therefore, it was reasonable for his attainment in the Heavenly Bat Steps to improve so quickly.
When he recovered his Star Essence and energy, it was already the second day of the battle with the scorpions.
Another massacre had begun!
After about an hour, Ye Xing's speed had suddenly increased by a large margin. He shuttled through the group of poisonous scorpions, leaving behind afterimages. His speed had reached a level where even the desert scorpions and even the Poisonous Scorpion King could not react in time.
The Small Success Realm of the Heavenly Bat Steps had also merged with the wind force. His speed was so fast that he could no longer be considered the best among the Intermediate Martial Saints. Even among the Noble Martial Artists, he was outstanding.
As he sped up, Ye Xing killed the desert scorpions even faster. At this rate, he would be able to kill all the desert scorpions in a little more than two hours.
The day before, when Ye Xing was fighting with the Desert Scorpions, not a single Core Disciple came.
But now, there were two core disciples who had come to this area.
The two Core Disciples, one male and one female, did not see the battle between Ye Xing and the Desert Scorpions at first. Instead, they saw the corpses of the Desert Scorpions all over the ground.
"So … so many corpses of the Desert Scorpions. Senior Sister He, is … is someone hunting the Desert Scorpions?"
The male Core Disciple asked the female Core Disciple beside him with a face full of shock when he saw the Desert Scorpions all over the ground.
This female Core Disciple was beautiful and had skin as white as snow. She was one of the Falling Star's Twin Beauties, He Hongjiao.
The male Core Disciple's name was Yang Zhixiong. His cultivation was slightly weaker than He Hongjiao's. However, he was still a Five Star Martial Saint and did not enter the top ten of the Core Disciples.
He Hongjiao came out of the sea of fire earlier. When she entered the sea of fire, she was very close to Ye Xing. She thought that after she came out of the sea of fire, she would not be far from Ye Xing. Thus, she kept waiting for Ye Xing.
However, in reality, Ye Xing had moved through the sea of fire and had already put some distance between him and He Hongjiao. Thus, even after He Hongjiao waited for a long time, she still did not see Ye Xing.
In the end, Yang Zhixiong came out of the sea of fire. When he saw He Hongjiao, he teamed up with her to cross the desert. Although they could avoid the Desert Scorpions from afar, there was also a certain chance that they would barge into the Desert Scorpions' nest and be surrounded. The more people there were, the more hope there was for them to kill their way out.
He Hongjiao saw that a long time had passed and that Ye Xing might have passed through the sea of fire and entered the desert. If she waited any longer, she would not be able to see Ye Xing. Thus, she teamed up with Yang Zhixiong and entered the desert.
After walking in the desert for three days, they arrived here and saw a large number of corpses of the Desert Scorpions.
He Hongjiao's eyes were filled with shock. From the broken limbs of the Desert Scorpions, she could tell that they had indeed died at the hands of a cultivator.
However, which disciple had the strength to kill so many Desert Scorpions?
Even a Marquis would not be able to do so, right?
He Hongjiao said, "It should be a team. It might be Eldest Senior Brother and the others. Let's follow the corpses of the Desert Scorpions to take a look."
Yang Zhixiong nodded. He also thought that the Desert Scorpions were killed by a team. Furthermore, it was a team formed by Eldest Senior Brother Ma Ren, Second Senior Brother Qi Jingyang, and Third Senior Brother Li Yuanqing. This was because Ma Ren, Qi Yingyang, and Li Yuanqing were all Six Star Martial Saints.
Only a team of three Six Star Martial Saints could kill so many Desert Scorpions, something that even a Marquis would not be able to do.
He Hongjiao and Yang Zhixiong followed the path of the Desert Scorpions' corpses. After walking for more than ten li and climbing over a sand dune, they finally saw the battle scene.
Among the densely packed Desert Scorpions, there was only a young man holding a spear and fighting. Above the young man was a pitch-black star. It was unknown what kind of star it was.
He Hongjiao and Yang Zhixiong stood on the sand dune, almost petrified.
These Desert Scorpions were actually killed by one person. Furthermore, this person was the only inner disciple who had entered the Falling Star Secret Realm — Ye Xing!
"How is this possible?"
The two of them exclaimed at the same time, not daring to believe it.
The two of them were still about five li away from Ye Xing. As Martial Saints, their eyesight was very strong. Naturally, they could see Ye Xing's appearance clearly.
A Three-Star Martial Saint had actually killed so many Desert Scorpions. The corpses stretched for more than ten li. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed it.
The two of them stood on the sand dune like statues, watching the battle between Ye Xing and the Desert Scorpions several li away. They saw Ye Xing's spear move like a dragon, shooting in all directions. The Desert Scorpions would definitely die if they were hit by the spear.
No matter which direction the Desert Scorpions attacked Ye Xing from, Ye Xing calmly killed them one by one. It was as if he had eyes on the back of his head.
On the sand dune, Yang Zhixiong was dumbfounded. After a while, he said, "Junior Brother Ye is surrounded by the Desert Scorpions. We saw it. Should we help him?"
He Hongjiao glanced around indifferently and said, "Didn't you see how many Desert Scorpions he killed? How can the remaining Desert Scorpions do anything to him? "
Yang Zhixiong said, "Junior Brother Ye killed so many Desert Scorpions. He must be mentally and physically exhausted. Perhaps this is the time when he needs help."
He Hongjiao said, "Aren't you afraid that you will die in the mouths of the Desert Scorpions before you can meet up with Junior Brother Ye?"
Yang Zhixiong frowned and said, "Junior Brother Ye can kill so many Desert Scorpions that their corpses litter the ground. How can I die in their mouths?"
He Hongjiao smiled coldly and said, "Do you think that you can also keep your eyes and ears open and not be afraid of enemies attacking you from all directions?"
Yang Zhixiong was stunned and immediately felt speechless.
