"Swoosh swoosh swoosh …"
The transparent scorpion tail appeared and disappeared unpredictably in the sea. Even if it attacked, ordinary demons would not be able to tell what was going on. There was no way to determine where the Phantom Scorpion King's attack would come from, or when it would be launched. Ban Yao and the others watched with trepidation. They knew that under the Phantom Scorpion King's attack, they would not be able to survive more than a few hits. They would not be able to escape the fate of dying on the spot.
However, this green-robed, devil-faced Lu Xiaotian did not use any other treasures. It seemed that he was able to block the Phantom Scorpion King's attack with just his physical body.
Every time the Phantom Scorpion King attacked, it was strange and powerful. Lu Xiaotian did not make any extra movements. Often, he would just lean to the side and throw out a simple punch or palm to reduce the Phantom Scorpion King's attack by more than half. With Lu Xiaotian's defensive capabilities, the remaining attacks did not cause much damage to Lu Xiaotian even if they landed on him.
The six flying scorpion formations, the twelve mysterious fire pillars, the green-black scorpion whip, and the Ethereal Flying Swords fought fiercely, forming more and more vortexes at the bottom of the sea. It was a pity that no other demons came down from the sky to see the undercurrent in the Demon Sea.
Ban Yao and the others, who were also deep in the Demon Sea, could feel the terror of this scene. It forced them to continuously retreat to avoid being drawn into this fierce battle.
Towards the end of the battle, several transparent scorpion tails appeared in the sea and attacked Lu Xiaotian from various tricky angles. It looked like it would not give up until it achieved its goal.
The Phantom Scorpion King's attacks became fiercer and fiercer. Lu Xiaotian was forced to summon the Five Elements Magnetic Golden Armor to block the attacks.
"You're not bad, not bad at all. This King has not met a decent opponent like you for a long time. This King will come again after some time." The two sides fought fiercely for nearly four hours. It turned out that the several hundred miles of the seabed had deepened by several thousand feet because of their fierce battle. In the deep sea, the Phantom Scorpion King's figure flickered and appeared again. Looking at Lu Xiaotian, it was not angry. Instead, it laughed.
"We await the Scorpion King's arrival!" Lu Xiaotian's hoarse voice rang out from under his ghost mask.
"Go!" With a wave of his hand, the Phantom Scorpion King led his four subordinates and turned into a beam of spiritual light, disappearing into the distant sea of demons. They came swiftly and left without any hesitation.
"He, he left just like that?" Ban Yao still had a look of disbelief on his face. The famous Phantom Scorpion King had come with four experts from his clan. Ban Yao and Ban Qianren had thought that they would not be able to escape this time. Who would have thought that they would not be able to cross this hurdle so easily?
"I didn't expect Mr. Xiang to be so resourceful. Ban Qianren cupped his hands and bowed to Lu Xiaotian. Last time, Lu Xiaotian had killed four early-stage Body Integration Stage demons on his own, which had already greatly shocked Ban Qianren. He didn't expect that this mysterious human cultivator would possess abilities comparable to a late-stage Body Integration Stage cultivator.
"It doesn't matter. The danger is still far from over. We'll be trapped in this cave abode anyway. Let's go back first." Lu Xiaotian waved his hand, not in the mood to speak with Ban Qianren. He directly returned to his cave abode. Under the prolonged attack of a late-stage Body Integration Stage cultivator, holes would appear in the cave abode. However, the strange demon butterflies were unable to do anything to the incomparably hard clam shell. Without a better escape route for the time being, Lu Xiaotian could only return to his cave abode and make further plans.
"I will follow Mr. Xiang's instructions." Ban Qianren's attitude was extremely humble. After this incident, Ban Qianren understood just how great the disparity in strength between the two sides was. Lu Xiaotian was completely capable of taking this cave abode for himself. Fortunately, it seemed that Lu Xiaotian had no such intentions. Ban Qianren was extremely respectful towards him.
"There are no instructions. Everything will be as usual. Just don't disturb my cultivation." Lu Xiaotian didn't put a mere cave abode in his eyes. With Ban Qianren and Ban Yao on guard for him, it would save him some trouble.
"Fellow Daoist Xiang is really strange." Ban Yao and Ban Qianren looked at each other and let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Lu Xiaotian wasn't aggressive. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to leave or stay in the cave abode. The two of them would have nowhere to go.
After returning to his place of cultivation, Lu Xiaotian sat down cross-legged. He raised his hand and looked at the demon soul in his palm. It had no limbs and only a body. His eyes showed some hesitation. Calculating the time, he had been in this cave abode for nearly ten years. In these ten years, he had entered the Broken Metal Ice Fire Sand Domain to cultivate and consolidate his recently broken through Body Cultivation. In addition to exploring the sand domain, he had also prepared other backup plans.
The mud demon soul in his hand was one of the backup plans he had prepared. When he was chased by Zen Master Ming Yi at the Blue Mirror Lake, Lu Xiaotian didn't hesitate to turn into a pile of mud in order to escape. He managed to get rid of Zen Master Ming Yi, but he almost died in the fluctuations of other low-level monsters. For Lu Xiaotian, this was a mistake that was neither big nor small.
Learning from the previous lesson, Lu Xiaotian also prepared a similar backup plan. This strange butterfly swarm was too powerful. Lu Xiaotian didn't dare to face it head-on, and he didn't have the confidence to rush out of the butterfly swarm, so he thought of a similar method.
Lu Xiaotian also had a demon soul that had turned into a mud pupa. And there was more than one fourth and fifth soul fusion. This kind of life-saving method didn't depend on how many demon souls he used to fuse. It focused on the strength of the battle. No matter how much his strength increased, it couldn't make him a powerhouse on par with the Mahayana Realm.
The key was the ability to hide his tracks. And the mud demon soul in his hand was a demon that he had fused with five types of monsters to temper its soul. In terms of battle, it was inferior to a Divine Illusionary Realm monster. Once Lu Xiaotian swallowed this demon soul, it would turn into a mud demon, and its aura would be no different from the mud in the sea. And it would have a certain level of defense. Even if a Divine Illusionary Realm monster fought, as long as it didn't directly hit him, the fluctuations of the battle wouldn't pose a fatal threat to him.
But there was another huge aftereffect of using this thing. The process of turning into mud was much longer than the mud pupa demon. It would take decades or even centuries. And even if he recovered his true form, the aftereffect might not be completely eliminated.
Lu Xiaotian shook his head. If he was really forced to the point of no return, he would have to use this method. Some aftereffects were better than losing his life.
Putting away the Primordial Spirit of the Mud Stone Demon, Lu Xiaotian shook his head. Just now, when he had fought with the Phantom Scorpion King, the Phantom Scorpion King had rushed over aggressively. However, the Phantom Scorpion King had picked up the Primordial Spirit and gently put it down. In fact, the Phantom Scorpion King had its own goals.
