Chapter 93: The Fearsome Doppelganger

  （0093）

  In fact, Xia Xingxiao thought that he could take down the scorpion by himself. One froze it, one distracted it, and another unleashed a powerful Golden Fist, mixed with a spiral force like a whirlpool, directly smashing the scorpion to pieces. He didn't believe it, three moves at once, how long could the scorpion last?

  They continued to move forward. After a moment, Xia Xingxiao discovered the scorpions. They were also lurking under the rocks, quietly waiting and trying to ambush passing humans. As a result, they were forced out by Xia Xingxiao's Frog Art. Hmm, to be precise, it was his No. 1 clone who had used the Frog Art that forced them out.

  Since he had his clone, Xia Xingxiao handed over the dangerous tasks to his clone and hid behind to watch the excitement. His first clone descended directly above the scorpion's head. The enraged scorpion continuously sprayed venom at the first clone, but it was completely ineffective. The clone was just a ball of true energy, so why would it be afraid of some venom?

  Those sand worms were also somewhat intelligent, and once they realized they had been deceived, they ignored Xia Xingxiao's clone and instead turned to stare at Li Yuzhi and the others. The sand worm that Xia Xingxiao had forced out was not just one, but three. Each of the three sand worms was as large as an elephant. In front of them, Xia Xingxiao and the others were incredibly tiny.

  No wonder Yun Hantang and Li Duo Zha are going to suffer. This creature in the void is really too powerful, even ants are as big as water buffalo. If a few sand scorpions cooperate with a few sand crabs to attack Yun Hantang and his group, it's possible that they can be completely annihilated.

  "Xia Xingxiao, you take care of the one on the left first! We'll tie up the other two! Be quick! Move!" Li Yuzhi's face was stern and decisive as he gave orders.

  Xia Xingxiao's first clone had long since leapt into the air, and with a burst of energy from the Mystic Ice Palm, he enveloped all three sand scorpions. The sand scorpion could release toxic liquid, but he wouldn't let it do so. (·~) His clone wasn't afraid of the toxic liquid, but Li Yuzhi and the others weren't so lucky. All creatures of the Sand Clan feared cold the most. Once frozen, their combat strength would be greatly reduced.

  As expected, the No. 1 clone's cold and gloomy aura made all three scorpions feel extremely uncomfortable. As creatures of the sand tribe, they were naturally afraid of the cold. The cold and gloomy true energy caused their speed and agility to be greatly reduced. It was as if the star power within their bodies had also been affected by the severe cold, making it difficult for them to move smoothly.

  But that's not the most tragic part. The most tragic part is that Xia Xingxiao's second clone has arrived. His second clone isn't just a simple distraction for the sandworms. As soon as he makes his move, it's a powerful Golden Fist. Four times the force, smashing down on the sandworm with all his might. The fierce fist wind immediately caught the attention of that sandworm.

  However, for the fierce force, the scorpion is not too concerned. Its body structure can effectively dissipate these direct forces. Nevertheless, when the force touches its own body, the scorpion discovers that something is wrong. The fierce force contains a cold spiral energy within it. If it were just spiral energy, it would be fine, but it's also cold. This is equivalent to taking the scorpion's life. It fears this the most.

  Fortunately, the scorpion's vitality was indeed tenacious. It rolled continuously on the ground with all its might, forcibly dissipating more than half of the spiral energy. Even so, it had already suffered severe injuries and almost lost its combat effectiveness. The cold spiral energy that seeped into its body was almost like a petrification technique, rendering it immobile for a short period of time.

  At this time, Li Yuzi and the three Buddhas, Buddha Head, Buddha Cave, and Buddha Ancestor, had all launched a simultaneous attack. Their target was the other two scorpions. Li Yuzi's Dharma hand was nothing to be trifled with, but the heavy weapons of the three Buddhas were even more deadly. The problem was that the scorpion's venom was equally deadly. Its various claws on its body were also extremely deadly.

  "Go die!"

  Xia Xingxiao's second clone flew over, a series of icy soft palms pressed down.

  In terms of pure yin coldness, Bing Xue Mian Zhang is above Xuan Ming Shen Zhang. However, the true energy consumed by Bing Xue Mian Zhang is more than twice that of Xuan Ming Shen Zhang, but its actual combat effectiveness is not even twice that of Xuan Ming Shen Zhang. Therefore, ordinary cultivators generally choose Xuan Ming Shen Zhang to enhance their combat endurance and will not choose Bing Xue Mian Zhang. However, for a freak like Xia Xing Xiao, it's impossible to guess with common sense.

  Continuous Frost Palm indeed greatly restricted the movements of the Sand Scorpions. A layer of pale blue ice had formed on the bodies of both Sand Scorpions. The power of the Frost Palm was evident. Both Sand Scorpions desperately shot venom at the Second Split Body, but it had no effect and instead wasted a precious opportunity to counterattack. As a result, Fo Tian seized the opportunity and attacked from behind, smashing down with his Vajra Pestle and heavily crushing one of the Sand Scorpion's tails.

  The scorpion's most powerful weapon is its two pincers and its tail. The scorpion's tail can sweep horizontally, reaching a length of 5-6 meters, covering a large area. Moreover, the scorpion's tail also has a reverse hook, once hooked, it cannot be shaken off. If the scorpion's tail is cut off, it is equivalent to losing one-third of its combat power.

  On the other side, the iron rod in the Buddha's hand also smashed a scorpion's head directly. In fact, this scorpion was the most tragic. Its attention was all attracted by Xia Xingxiao's avatar

  If it were someone else's clone, Sha Xie might be able to ignore it, but Xia Xingxiao's clone was something he absolutely couldn't afford to ignore. Other people's clones usually just attracted attention and wouldn't take any real action because they didn't have enough true energy. But Xia Xingxiao was different. He had more than enough true energy to squander as he pleased. His clone could fully launch an attack.

  Moreover, as soon as he made a move, it was with the powerful Golden Fist of Spiral Energy, which for the scorpion was absolutely a fatal blow. The scorpion had to desperately block Xia Xingxiao's clone in order to protect itself, and naturally didn't have much energy left for anyone else. As a result, when Mai Tieshang struck down, this scorpion fell with a lingering sense of resentment. However, it wasn't completely dead yet.

  The vitality of the Sha family's biological body is very strong. Even if its head and tail are smashed, it may not necessarily die. However, if its body is also smashed, then it will truly be dead. So, the wolf-toothed club in the Buddha's hand heavily smashed onto the scorpion's body, thoroughly smashing its body to pieces. With this blow, the scorpion was truly dead and could not be deader.

  Killed one sand scorpion, and severely injured another. The remaining sand scorpion's fighting power was greatly reduced. Xia Xingxiao's two clones had already freed up their hands and were continuously casting Frost Palm, freezing it solid. Li Yuzhi and the others took advantage of the opportunity to unleash a flurry of martial arts moves, smashing it into pieces with brute force. The sand scorpion let out continuous angry roars, causing the surrounding rocks to tremble violently, but ultimately could not escape its fate of being killed.

  As for the scorpion that was previously recreated by Xia Xingxiao, it had just recovered a bit of its spirit and tried to escape by burrowing into the ground, but was quickly caught up by Xia Xingxiao's two clones. One clone unleashed a powerful Vajra Fist, while the other clone used the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, striking and killing it on the spot. Under the enormous pressure, the scorpion was directly crushed into a meat paste.

  "Ah!"

  Xia Xingxiao recalled two of her clones.

  Divided body is indeed very useful, and it's also very consuming of true energy.

  Just now, the continuous movements of the two avatars did not stop for a moment, and Xia Xingxiao felt that the true energy in his body was like a burst dam, and it was gone in an instant. From this, it can be seen that the consumption of true energy by the avatar is indeed not covered. Even if he has thirty-three spiritual seas, the storage capacity of true energy is abnormal, but it's still a bit unbearable.

  If the battle lasts for more than half an hour, his true energy will also be exhausted. The speed at which three channels consume true energy far exceeds the speed at which the air sea can recover true energy. Therefore, if it is not necessary, it is best not to condense the avatar. This powerful martial art can only be activated at the most critical moment.

  After recalling the avatar, Xia Xingxiao's true energy immediately recovered quickly. All the dantians frantically absorbed the heaven and earth yuanqi from around them to supplement the deficiency of the dantian. On the other hand, Li Yuzi and others had not consumed much true energy because the battle ended very quickly.

  Li Yuzi took out a specially made dagger and dug out the crystal core of the sand scorpion. The crystal core of the sand scorpion, in fact, has no use at all, its only effect is to detoxify. If someone accidentally gets poisoned by the sand scorpion's venom, within a certain period of time, using the sand scorpion crystal core can detoxify it.

  The toxicity of the scorpion's venom is not as abnormal as that of the Mantis people, and only specific crystal nuclei can detoxify it. As long as it is the scorpion's venom, the scorpion's crystal nucleus can detoxify it. In other words, if you have a certain amount of scorpion crystal nuclei on hand, you can save your teammates who are poisoned in critical situations. Now that they have three scorpion crystal nuclei on hand, Li Yuzhi and others feel greatly relieved.

  "Keep going!" Xia Xing said with a spirited tone.

  There are two doppelgangers protecting her body, Xia Xingxiao is really bursting with confidence, completely unaware of the danger.

  All the way, he kept launching the Toad Art, detecting the hidden creatures around. Those sand scorpions, sand crabs and so on, as long as they were hiding underground, were all forced out by him. The Sand Clan's plan to ambush humans was completely ruined.

  There are two avatars of Xiaoxiao in the Insect Catching Team, and there are two more abnormal warriors to deal with scorpions and other easy-to-deal-with creatures. The greatest benefit of an avatar is that it is not afraid of any harm. An avatar is just a condensation of true energy, no matter what kind of harm it receives, as long as there is still true energy, the avatar will not disappear. This is very effective for attracting scorpion venom. Many scorpions are eliminated after being misled.
