Chapter 94: One palm won't kill, strike a few more palms

  （0094）

  The only problem now is that every time Xia Xingxiao uses his avatar, his true energy is consumed very badly. Many times, his true energy was consumed to less than one-third left. Fortunately, his true energy recovered quickly and there was no danger.

  All the way, they kept coming to kill, and didn't know how many poisonous scorpions and sand crabs were killed. Li Yuzhi collected more than a hundred poison scorpion nuclei. He couldn't carry so many by himself, so he handed them over to Fotou and others to carry, with dozens of them stuffed in each person's arms.

  As for Xia Xingxiao, it's only natural that he doesn't need to have any burdens. He is the treasure of the Buddhist team, and Li Yuzi won't let him do anything that has a negative impact on him. As for whether he will be poisoned, it's simply impossible. His two avatars are just as abnormal as his true self. I reckon the Sha clan creatures must be depressed beyond measure.

  "Cloud Han Tang, they!" Suddenly, Xia Xingxiao made a gesture with her hand.

  Li Yuzi and others, hastily raised their flight techniques, unfolded the combat formation, and rushed forward to surround them. The purpose of doing so was naturally to be prepared for battle at any time. Judging from Xia Xingxiao's gestures, Yun Hantang and others had obviously encountered trouble. And it was big trouble.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, after a moment, Li Yuzi and others saw that in the gorge about three hundred meters away from them, Yun Hantang and others were fighting against more than ten huge sand crabs. On the outside of the sand crabs, there were five large-headed poisonous scorpions staring at them menacingly. They occasionally sprayed toxic liquid to harass Yun Hantang and others' battle, causing them a lot of trouble.

  The appearance of over a dozen sand crabs had already put Yun Hantang and the others in a difficult situation, let alone the addition of five poisonous scorpions. It was estimated that at this time, Yun Hantang and the others were already desperate. Perhaps at this time, they had already had thoughts of suicide to avoid dying too miserably.

  In Yun Han Tang's team, three people had already fallen. Adding to the two they originally lost, there were only five people left with fighting power. Five people against so many poisonous scorpions and sand crabs was absolutely impossible.

  Xia Xingxiao took a closer look and found that Li Duocha was also injured, lying on the ground unable to move. The Wang Hanqing he had beaten up was also among them. Yun Hantang's body was covered in blood. His back was bloody, probably scratched by the sand crab's claws. Fortunately, the sand crab's claws were not poisonous, otherwise, if it were a scorpion's claws, he would have been done for.

  Even so, Yunhantang should not be able to hold on for too long. At most five or six minutes later, he would collapse from exhaustion. If Yunhantang collapsed, the other four team members would likely soon suffer a disastrous defeat. At this moment, those venomous scorpions lurking in the corner, more terrifyingly, were probably just playing with the humans' minds.

  "What should we do? Shall we get rid of the poisonous scorpion first?"

  Li Yuzi said resolutely: "Alright, let's get rid of the venom first! You can also treat them at the same time and make him hold on for a while longer to avoid any accidents."

  For Yun Han Tang, the greatest danger is the venom of the poisonous scorpion. As long as they get rid of these poisonous scorpions, the remaining sand crabs are relatively easy to deal with. And for Xia Xing Xiao's clone, dealing with two poisonous scorpions shouldn't be difficult either.

  Li Yuzi shot five poisonous scorpion crystal nuclei into Yun Hantang's team and shouted loudly: "Officer Yun, detoxify first!"

  At the same time, Xia Xingxiao also condensed two clones and pounced on the poisonous scorpion. His true body, however, fell into the midst of Yun Hantang's team. He immediately released a series of purple misty energy, enveloping Yun Hantang and the others within it. The energy of the purple misty energy was vast and spread out, and the injured personnel could feel their injuries rapidly recovering.

  Yun Han Tang hastily took off his clothes, and handed over the five poisonous scorpion crystal nuclei. Without thinking much, he gave them to Li Duo Cha and Wang Han Qing and others to take. Xia Xing Xiao's purple mist true energy could only heal wounds, but not detoxify. People who were poisoned had to use the scorpion's crystal nucleus to eliminate the toxin.

  At this time, Xia Xingxiao's two avatars had already rolled into the middle of the poisonous scorpion like a gust of wind. They were not physical entities and did not need to worry about the poisonous scorpion's venom at all. The first avatar struck out with an extremely cold ice palm, while the second avatar struck out with a powerful golden fist mixed with spiral energy. The combination of the ice palm and the golden fist made both poisonous scorpions feel a mortal danger, and they retreated backward in the first moment.

  But how could Xia Xingxiao let them retreat smoothly? The effect of the Frost Palm was to slow down their movements. The combination of Ice Profound Energy and Frost Palm would definitely reduce the agility of the poisonous scorpions to less than a third of their normal speed. Once their movements were slowed down, a series of other punches and kicks came down.

  Isn't the poisonous scorpion afraid of the spiral force? Xia Xingxiao has plenty. What is the Brahma, what is the Ice Profound Force, what is the War God's Diagram, what is the Undead Seal Technique, and what is the Tai Xuan Divine Art, all have rich spiral forces. Just bring one with you, and use four times the force of the Dali Golden Fist to strike out, and those poisonous scorpions will not be able to eat their fill.

  As expected, Xia Xingxiao took action and immediately enveloped all five poisonous scorpions. He had absolute confidence in his own strength and felt that he could completely rely on his own power to take down the five poisonous scorpions. Therefore, he didn't need anyone else's cooperation at all.

  It was indeed the case that the five poisonous scorpions were entwined by Xia Xingxiao's two avatars, and they had no time to spare for anything else. The first avatar came with an icy palm, driven by Bing Xuanjin's cold ice, freezing them in place. The second avatar came with a broken heart palm, driven by the Small Nothingness Technique's seven breaks and seven cuts. This move was actually quite effective against the poisonous scorpions. One palm couldn't kill them, but multiple palms would do the trick.

  Seeing Xia Xingxiao single-handedly fighting against the five poisonous scorpions, Yun Hantang hastily called out: "Li Yujie, don't bother with this side, go help him!"

  Li Yuzhi, however, seemed to have not heard and continued to charge towards the sand crabs. He was a clever person and immediately realized that Xia Xingxiao wanted to take down the five poisonous scorpions alone. In other words, Xia Xingxiao had changed their original plan. If it were someone else, Li Yuzhi would definitely not have believed he could do it. But with Xia Xingxiao's abnormal strength, he believed him. Therefore, he felt that there was no need for him to intervene in the battle on that side and focused on taking down the sand crabs on this side instead.

  Without the harassment of the five poisonous scorpions, Yun Han Tang and others all breathed a sigh of relief. The greatest pressure on them was the venom of those scorpions, which made them not dare to let go and fight with the sand crabs, and they had to be constantly on guard against the incoming venom.

  Under the threat of the poisonous scorpion, even if Yun Han Tang and his team had 100% fighting power, they could only exert less than 40%. The remaining 60% was all used to guard against the scorpion's attack. Such a battle was, of course, painful. If Li Yuji and his team hadn't arrived in time, this small group of people would have been completely annihilated in this godforsaken place.

  Li Yuzi and others joined the battlefield, immediately making those sand crabs feel pressure. The sand crab's attack method is relatively monotonous, only able to be hard against hard. Generally, cultivators are not afraid of hard against hard. It seems that Yun Hantang himself is the one who is least afraid of hard against hard. Therefore, gradually, they slowly gained the upper hand and pressed the sand crabs to fight back.

  Along the way, thanks to Xia Xingxiao's constant replenishment of true energy, Li Yuzhi and others' meridians have expanded by at least three or more. Although having only three meridians is a small number, it can be very useful in actual combat. Basically, his overall combat strength has increased by at least 10% or more. This is quite a good progress.

  Unfortunately, their opponents, the sand crabs, have a strong defensive capability, and the force of the hard collision has limited damage to them. The huge crab shell dissipates most of the force. To effectively deal with them, Xia Xingxiao's Small No-Phase Skill and Seven-Breaks Seven-Absolutes Heart-Wrenching Palm are still needed. This is the ultimate killer for dealing with sand crabs. Unfortunately, Xia Xingxiao was entangled by the poisonous scorpion.

  Of course, other soft internal skills, as long as they have spiral energy and the effect of hitting a cow over a mountain, can also cause a certain degree of harm to the sand crab. The problem is that these martial arts are generally not very strong in the initial stage. Therefore, ordinary practitioners will not choose them. Among the dozen or so people on the scene, only Xia Xingxiao mastered this type of martial art.

  At the moment of regret, Xia Xingxiao's true body suddenly rushed over and struck a sand crab with his hand, using the Small No Phase Skill and the Seven Severances and Seven Extinctions Heartbreaking Palm. As a result, the sand crab was killed instantly, as if it had been hit by a spell. There was no way to save it, for the combination of the Small No Phase Skill and the Seven Severances and Seven Extinctions Heartbreaking Palm was the bane of the sand crab's existence.

  Xia Xingxiao's avatar flew over in a row, and the Seven Severing Heart Palm was launched continuously. Each time it was launched, a sand crab was killed. In just a moment, more than a dozen sand crabs were eliminated by him. The remaining three or four discovered that something was wrong and hastily dug holes to try to burrow underground. However, Xia Xingxiao's avatar did not show any intention of giving up at all. He directly pursued them into the hole.

  The holes dug by the sand crabs are actually quite large. These sand crabs, they're just like elephants, and the holes they dig can completely accommodate a person flying in. However, after entering, there's no light, and the cultivator's combat strength will definitely be greatly weakened.

  But for Xia Xingxiao, these were not problems. Didn't he still have the Frog Art? As long as he used the Frog Art as a sonar, those sand crabs wouldn't be able to escape. Not only would the sand crabs not be able to escape, but if there were other creatures hiding under the rocks, they also wouldn't be able to escape.

  Yun Han Tang and others quickly turned their heads, trying to stop those poisonous scorpions. They subconsciously thought that Xia Xing Xiao had temporarily given up on the poisonous scorpions, turned back to help them clean up the sand crabs first, and then everyone would work together again to deal with those poisonous scorpions. It's no wonder they had such thinking. After all, the poisonous scorpions were much harder to deal with than the sand crabs, and one person's ability might not be enough.
