Zhao Xiuyuan had already missed his chance. How could he avoid it now? Before the scorpion sting could touch his dantian, he felt a piercing pain in his dantian. A strange coldness almost froze the immortal essence in his dantian.
At this time, Zhao Xiuyuan couldn't even use immortal tools as freely as before. His movements were about to become stiff.
"My life is over." Zhao Xiuyuan didn't have the energy to complain about the lotus clone. With death approaching, he felt that his previous struggles with his fellow disciples in the Sect were laughable.
Compared to life and death, nothing was important. In the past, he was too calculative in many aspects. But now that he woke up, it seemed to be too late.
Just when Zhao Xiuyuan thought that his soul was about to die, a faint sword intent appeared in his dantian. Zhao Xiuyuan was startled. Before he had time to look, he heard a ding. The ice scorpion tail didn't seem to have pierced his dantian. Instead, it was blocked by a hard object.
"Retreat!" A cold voice entered Zhao Xiuyuan's ears. Although Zhao Xiuyuan didn't understand what had happened, he realized that he had been saved. Moreover, he was saved by the person he had complained about before.
After he retreated several dozen feet, he saw that a small sword had appeared in front of him. With the small sword as the core, it emitted a small sword-shaped shield that firmly blocked the ice scorpion sting.
Although the sword shield was small, it accurately blocked the opponent's attack.
The ice scorpion demon had been preparing for a long time to kill a powerful immortal and lay a good foundation for slaughtering all the cultivators here. Who would have thought that just as it was about to succeed, someone would interfere and completely dispel its plan?
The ice scorpion demon was extremely furious. It jumped out of its group and the other two tails behind it quickly pierced forward.
"Let them retreat first. After I kill some Scorpions, I'll use the formation and the terrain to block them." The lotus clone pushed forward with both hands and a flying sword condensed in the void. Compared to the ice scorpion tails that were piercing at an astonishing speed, it seemed slow. However, although the three ice scorpion tails were fast, they were quickly blocked by the other two sword shields. The two small flying swords were erected and condensed into a nearly circular shield. Once the scorpion tail pierced it, it was as if it was stuck with a sticky substance. It couldn't get rid of it for a while.
No matter how fast the other scorpion tail was, it couldn't avoid colliding with the huge flying sword.
In the previous few exchanges, the unremarkable sword cultivator in front of it focused on defense and didn't cause the ice scorpion much displeasure. But this time, a seemingly indifferent sword intent spread from the tip of the stinger, which was the hardest part.
The Demonic Ice Scorpion cried out in pain. Its stinger, which was the hardest part of its body, was still fine. However, the back part of its stinger was almost cut by the all-pervasive Sword Intent.
The instant the Demonic Ice Scorpion and the Lotus Clone clashed, a powerful air current surged out and split into two sides, causing the entire mine to shake violently. Fortunately, there were some formations in the mine, and most of the stone walls were extremely hard to begin with. . and there were no signs of collapse.
The immortals on both sides, or the immortal-level ice scorpion demons, blocked the impact of the aftershock. Otherwise, the huge shock wave alone would've killed a large number of low-level ice scorpion demons and cultivators.
Zhao Xiuyuan watched in a daze as the lotus clone fought with the leader of the ice scorpion demons. He finally understood why Tu Xingyun had paid such a huge price to invite the lotus clone over. Tu Xingyun was never an easy person to talk to, but he had always been kind to the nameless sword cultivator in front of him. This was because the other party's strength had reached a level where even Tu Xingyun had to be careful when dealing with him.
Zhao Xiuyuan felt that the nameless sword cultivator in front of him wasn't any weaker than Tu Xingyun. In fact, he was even stronger.
The lotus clone used the two sword shields to defend against the ice scorpion demons' attacks. The huge and slow sword pressed down from the middle, slowly advancing. However, the pace of the attack was firm and didn't stop at all.
Although the ice scorpion demons tried their best to resist, they were still unable to delay the huge sword's advance. Even the immortal-level ice scorpion demons behind were intimidated by the sword.
With a shrill cry, the ice scorpion demon's tail was cut off by the crisscrossing sword light. The huge sword heavily fell to the ground, cutting a large number of low-level ice scorpion demons behind it in half. As for the ice scorpion demon leader that had lost its tail, it had already retreated into the group of scorpions.
The ice scorpion demon leader was injured and furious. It urged its group to attack with earth-shattering momentum.
The lotus clone's expression didn't change. The huge sword that was slowly advancing didn't stop just because it had cut off the ice scorpion demon leader's tail. Instead, it continued to advance. Streaks of sword qi flew out from the huge sword, as dense as rain. They shot out in all directions. After a certain distance, they would return to the main body of the huge sword and converge with it.
At this moment, the huge sword was like a flying boat. The countless streaks of sword qi were like arrows that could be retracted. Under the dense streaks of sword qi, ice scorpion demons of varying strength were constantly pierced full of holes. Even the immortal-level ice scorpion demons saw the huge boat slowly approaching. Its speed wasn't fast, but it was unstoppable. The main body of the huge boat-like flying sword was abnormally nimble. It didn't seem to need human control to be able to display a considerable amount of power.
Two immortal-level ice scorpion demons were killed by the endless streaks of sword qi. The originally unstoppable huge flying sword suddenly lost its aura. The sharp sword intent that could cut through anything seemed to have lost something most important.
"I'll leave the rest to you." Killing two mere immortal-level ice scorpion demons wasn't too praiseworthy for the lotus clone. The lotus clone raised its hand and summoned back the huge sword that had suddenly lost its spirit. The Lotus Avatar instructed Zhao Xiuyuan.
Then, the lotus clone sank into its own contemplation. It was as if the bloody battle before its eyes didn't have much to do with the lotus clone.
"Okay." Zhao Xiuyuan directly responded. From the lotus clone's current state, it should be cultivating an extremely powerful divine ability. Those who could still have the time and mood to comprehend divine bravery in this kind of environment were all extraordinary people. The opponent's methods were already so powerful. It was unknown how powerful the divine ability would be after it was fully mastered.
What the sword cultivator called Nameless displayed just now was probably only the tip of the iceberg. It was far from his full strength. Even so, it was enough to make one's heart tremble. At this moment, Zhao Xiuyuan didn't have the slightest bit of dissatisfaction with the lotus clone. With such an expert overseeing things, not only him, but also the other people in the mine all had their confidence greatly boosted. At least for the time being, they didn't have to worry about the unstoppable monster among the ice scorpion demons suddenly appearing.
However, to Zhao Xiuyuan, other than the ice scorpion leader, although the other immortal-level ice scorpion demons were also powerful, they hadn't reached the point where they couldn't deal with them.
