Chat group: The ruthless guy was blown up after kidnapping Ye Hei at the start.

Medusa's body radiated a faint light, preventing Ye Xiu from getting close.

However, this obstacle was nothing to Ye Xiu. He grabbed Medusa's arm and pulled her into his arms.

He felt surrounded by soft, fragrant flesh, and smelled a delicate fragrance that made him feel completely comfortable, almost causing him to groan.

"Hmm!" Medusa was embraced by Ye Xiu, and immediately let out a soft moan and slowly opened her eyes to look at Ye Xiu beside her.

She had just regained consciousness and was still in a state of confusion.

She only remembered encountering danger in the forest last night, almost losing her soul, and being saved by the boy in front of her.

"You're awake!" Ye Xiu released his arms and looked at Medusa in his arms.

"Who are you? Why did you save me? Do we know each other?"

Medusa asked three questions in a row, looking at Ye Xiu with wariness. She felt that the boy in front of her was a stranger.

However, when she saw Ye Xiu, she was a little surprised: "Huh? My cultivation level? It has actually reached the fifth level of the True Essence Realm?"

Ye Xiu smiled but didn't explain anything. Instead, he asked, "This was the last night we spent together. You should remember, right?"

Medusa frowned, trying hard to recall what had happened last night.

"I remember now!" Medusa exclaimed after a moment, recalling what had happened the night before.

She looked at Ye Xiu, her eyes flashing with a complex light.

"Thank you so much for saving me!" Thinking of what happened last night, she immediately knelt down and bowed respectfully.

"It was nothing, don't mention it!" Ye Xiu waved his hand, helped her up, and said, "Now that you've recovered your strength, let's leave quickly. I wonder what happened here. I hope we can leave soon."

Before Ye Xiu finished speaking, his ears perked up, because he could faintly hear some noise.

He hurriedly walked outside, pushed open the door, and saw a scene that shocked him.

In the center of the courtyard appeared a gigantic scorpion king. This scorpion king was extremely large, tens of meters long, with eight huge legs that shimmered with a metallic luster, like sharp weapons forged from steel, exuding a cold killing intent.

The Scorpion King's carapace was covered with thick, black scales, menacing and sharp, gleaming with a cold, icy light.

Its limbs are thick and strong, standing like giant pillars, and its long tail swings like a steel whip, raising a trail of sparks.

The Scorpion King was extremely large, over twenty zhang long. Every step it took shook the earth and mountains, as if it were about to shatter the void.

The lava river beside it also churned up towering waves of fire.

This scorpion king exuded a terrifying and chilling aura. Wherever it passed, vegetation burned, rocks exploded, and the ground cracked and collapsed, leaving a deep ravine.

Chapter 337 The Young God of War!

Scorpion King's gaze swept over Ye Xiu and Medusa, a fierce bloodlust gleaming in his eyes. He spoke in human language: "Who are you people? How dare you ambush me! You deserve to die!"

"Boom!"

It roared, swung its giant pincers, grabbed a towering ancient tree, and tore it apart with force, instantly turning it into dust.

This terrifying power is chilling.

With a single strike, it destroyed a small mountain.

Its combat power is too strong, stronger than any ferocious beast Ye Xiu has ever encountered.

"Shh!"

The Scorpion King's attack was swift and ferocious, its eight giant claws swirling and creating a hurricane.

A hurricane swept in from the sky, like a violent storm.

"Boom!"

Its pincers, sharp as knives, sliced ​​through the air, emitting a piercing shriek, and struck with the force of a thunderbolt, its imposing momentum overwhelming and suffocating.

"As expected of the Scorpion King, he is indeed terrifying beyond compare!"

Ye Xiu was taken aback, but remained calm and fearless. His fist was wreathed in purple flames, and with a loud boom, he punched the Scorpion King.

"Oh!"

Ye Xiu's punch contained terrifying power. When he threw it, the fist energy burst forth like a raging purple fire, scorching the sky.

Although he only had the cultivation level of the early stage of the Innate Realm, his physical strength was by no means weak. With the amplification of the Nine Revolutions Chaos Technique and the divine fire he cultivated, he was in no way inferior to a martial artist at the sixth level of the True Essence Realm.

Moreover, Ye Xiu's spiritual power far surpasses that of ordinary people. His mental strength is even comparable to that of a martial arts master at the peak of the Innate Realm, which is terrifying.

Although the Scorpion King was strong, it couldn't withstand Ye Xiu's punch. Its giant pincers snapped, its chelicerae collapsed, and its entire body was blasted hundreds of meters away as if struck by lightning, crashing into a low mountain. Dust and debris flew everywhere.

"Hiss..." Ye Xiu gasped. His physical strength had reached a certain level, yet he hadn't killed his opponent instantly with a single punch. Instead, he had been seriously injured. This Scorpion King was no ordinary creature.

He looked toward the spot where the Scorpion King lay, only to find that the low mountain had completely crumbled, turning both the surface and the mountain itself into dust.

A gentle breeze swept by, the smoke dissipated, revealing the Scorpion King, who was covered in wounds and on the verge of death.

Not only that, two of the Scorpion King's eight giant pincers were also broken off, and bright red blood dripped down the broken ends. Its eyes were filled with resentment.

"Who are you? How can you possess such power!" the Scorpion King roared.

The collision had severely injured it, leaving it almost unable to fight. Moreover, it sensed danger from its opponent, a formidable foe that could not be ignored.

Scorpion King dared not be careless, his eyes flashing with apprehension as he stared at Ye Xiu with extreme caution.

"Your cultivation should have broken through to the mid-stage of the Innate Realm, right? What a pity, what a pity, you've met me today, it's destined to be a tragedy!" Ye Xiu smiled calmly.

With a cultivation level at the mid-stage of the Innate Realm, looking across the Southern Ridge Region, he is already considered a top expert, aside from the top experts in the royal families of various countries.

However, Ye Xiu didn't take it to heart. He was confident that he could kill his opponent because he was stronger than him.

"Hmph, what arrogance! You're only at the early stage of the Innate Realm. Even if I'm injured, I can still crush you!" the Scorpion King sneered.

"Heh, are you sure?" Ye Xiu scoffed.

“Of course!” the Scorpion King nodded.

"Since that's the case, then I'll test just how good you really are!" Ye Xiu said with a smile.

"Seeking death, the dance of death!"

Enraged, the Scorpion King spread its wings like two celestial swords, cleaving the sky as it charged toward Ye Xiu.

This is its signature skill. Once unleashed, it can manipulate the surrounding environment to create illusions, confusing the enemy and making them unable to defend themselves, thus trapping them in a hallucination.

"Boom!"

The heavens and earth shook as streaks of blue lightning snaked through the air, intertwining and coalescing into a massive net that blanketed Ye Xiu, blocking out the sunlight and plunging the space into darkness, leaving only the enormous blue net hanging in the void, seemingly capable of swallowing Ye Xiu whole.

A large blue net descended rapidly, covering the entire space in the blink of an eye.

"A mere trifle!"

Ye Xiu snorted coldly, his whole body radiating golden light. He was like a young war god. He raised his right arm and punched the sky. The golden fist energy surged and pierced through the heavens and earth. With one punch, he tore the huge blue net to shreds.

"You forced me to do this!" the Scorpion King roared, his eyes gleaming coldly, crimson blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Whoosh—" Its mouth opened, and a black poison needle shot out.

This poison needle was as black as ink, emitting a faint green light, and covered with highly poisonous runes, clearly containing an unimaginably terrifying poison.

Chapter 338 Chaotic Overlord Body!

It is the Scorpion King's trump card for survival. It is a toxin that it captured after going through countless hardships and dangers. It is called Black Scorpion Venom. Once the toxin is absorbed, the person will die immediately.

"laugh!"

The Black Scorpion's venom is incredibly fast; an ordinary innate martial artist would have no chance to dodge it and would be instantly pierced through the forehead, dying a violent death.

"Hahaha... Die!" The Scorpion King laughed maniacally.

"call out!"

Ye Xiu remained calm, striking out with his palm to repel the poison needles. At the same time, he leaped forward, grabbing the Scorpion King by the neck and lifting it up. Then, he unleashed a powerful palm strike, slamming it into the Scorpion King's abdomen.

"Pfft!" The Scorpion King coughed up blood, his internal organs were injured by the shock, and he almost fainted. His body curled up into a ball, trembling in pain.

"Roar!" The Scorpion King roared, struggling violently to break free from Ye Xiu's control.

"boom!"

Ye Xiu flicked his finger and struck the Scorpion King on the head, instantly stunning it and tossing it aside.

The Scorpion King fell into a deep sleep, but his body remained curled up.

"Master, what should we do with it?" Morgana asked.

"Kill him!" Ye Xiu said coldly.

"Shh!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Xiu swung his fist and blasted the Scorpion King to pieces, turning it into a rain of blood that drifted through the air.

After Ye Xiu killed the Scorpion King, a dense demonic aura surged from its corpse, filling the air and eventually condensing into a crystal-clear bead, floating in mid-air.

The beads are engraved with ancient symbols and radiate a dazzling brilliance.

"What is this?" Ye Xiu was stunned when he saw the beads. He had never seen anything like it before and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

"I don't know, but I sensed a mysterious aura. Perhaps this is the Scorpion King's demon core!" the Empress said.
