Chapter 1053 - 477: Demon King Parasite

"Boom!"

Thunder and demon qi collided, erupting in a violent tremor.

"Everyone, retreat!"

Ying Qianqian urgently issued the command!

The army quickly retreated, withdrawing a full thirty miles before stopping, setting up the array, remaining cautious and on guard.

This "Red Flame Poison Scorpion King" was proficient in the demon race’s formidable parasitic techniques, and there was a real chance it could parasitize others when at a disadvantage against Li Yunjing.

After all, among those present, there were even Qi Refining Realm cultivators!

Their divine souls were fragile, and they had almost no way to resist the parasitic techniques.

"Indeed a Tier Four Demon King!"

Li Yunjing’s heart sank; after two exchanges, he had understood.

This was not just the "Red Flame Poison Scorpion King’s" poison but a high-tier divine technique of parasitism!

"Kekekeke... You insignificant brat, did you naively think you could handle even a wisp of this king’s avatar?"

The demon qi avatar of the "Red Flame Poison Scorpion King" sneered, inky black demonic mist roiling, forming dozens of sharp poison stingers in mid-air, shooting towards Li Yunjing like a storm!

"Watch out!"

Ying Qianqian cried out, her longsword transforming into a cyan barrier, shielding Li Yunjing from the front.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The stingers struck against the sword screen, producing a piercing metallic clash, each blow numbing Ying Qianqian’s arm.

"This creature’s avatar is this powerful?!"

Ying Qianqian was horrified; she had struck just to test the Demon King’s avatar’s strength, not expecting it to be this formidable!

"Hmph!"

Li Yunjing coldly snorted, his hands rapidly forming seals, thunder light surging around him, "Five Thunders True Method, Tian Gang Thunder Prison!"

"Boom!"

The "Geng Metal Divine Thunder," "Wood God Thunder," "Binghuo Divine Thunder," "Sunflower Divine Thunder," and "Earth God Thunder," five types of thunder descended from the heavens, transforming into a lightning cage that trapped the demon qi avatar of the "Red Flame Poison Scorpion King" tightly!

Thunder Skill restrains demon fiends!

"Ahhh..."

The demon qi avatar let out a shrill howl, its body twisted incessantly under the thunder light, the black mist gradually being purified.

"Five Elements Divine Thunder! Extinguish!"

Li Yunjing’s sword finger sliced through the air, the thunder prison suddenly contracted, transforming into the "Five Elements Divine Thunder"!

"Boom!"

The demon qi avatar couldn’t hold on any longer, exploding with a bang, dissipating into countless black smoke.

However, just as Ying Qianqian and the Long-armed Ape sighed in relief, a new development occurred.

"PFFT!"

A pitch-black scorpion tail suddenly stabbed out from the void, aiming straight for Li Yunjing’s back!

"Junior Brother Li! Be careful!"

Seeing the sudden attack, Ying Qianqian’s face turned pale with fright, involuntarily crying out in alarm.

"I had guarded against this move!"

Li Yunjing’s figure flashed, narrowly dodging the ambush, striking backhandedly, the "Yin Yang Five Elements Celestial Derivation Sword" already unsheathed, slashing towards the scorpion tail.

"Sizzle..."

The seven-colored divine light flashed, a muffled groan echoed in the void, with a blurred scorpion shadow vanishing instantly.

"Damn it! This creature has more than one avatar!"

Li Yunjing’s expression turned grim.

"Everyone, heed the order!"

Ying Qianqian immediately took out a "Communication Talisman," "Form the ’Black Tortoise Demon-Slaying Array,’ protect your divine souls, prevent being parasitized by the demon qi!"

"Yes!"

Thirty miles away, the "Black Tortoise Army" received the command, quickly forming a battle array, a layer of black light rising to shield everyone inside.

Meanwhile, Fu Chao, Lin Wan’Er, and the disciples of the "Primordial Yang Dao Sect" were all protected in the middle by the "Black Tortoise Army."

"Junior Brother Li, what should we do now?"

Ying Qianqian, out of options herself, asked Li Yunjing softly.

How powerful is a Tier Four Demon King?

This was beyond what a Golden Core Realm cultivator could handle!

The strength of this avatar wasn’t high, but it couldn’t be helped that the opponent had many strange techniques.

Many strange techniques lacked offensive power, but their stealth was incredibly tricky and difficult to locate, and Ying Qianqian feared that this "Red Flame Poison Scorpion King" might parasitize her subordinates.

As long as the "Red Flame Poison Scorpion King" didn’t reveal itself, who could possibly find it?

"This creature’s avatar is adept at stealth; we must force it to reveal itself!"

Li Yunjing’s gaze was cold, his divine sense scanning the surroundings, speaking in a deep voice, "If it doesn’t work, ask the Sect’s Supreme Elder to intervene. In any case, we can’t leave a hidden danger!"

"Alright! Let’s return to the camp! I’ll immediately contact the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators for help!"

Understanding, Ying Qianqian immediately said loudly.

In the void, the concealed "Red Flame Poison Scorpion King" hesitated, losing interest in continuing to follow the "Black Tortoise Army" and stir up further trouble.

In its current state, encountering a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator would mean certain death!

There’s really no need to keep taking risks!

The "Shenxiao Dao Sect" is clearly not to be messed with, and they might genuinely summon someone of such caliber.

It has yet to fully explore this realm; there’s no point in risking everything against the "Shenxiao Dao Sect."

Thinking this, without Li Yunjing or Ying Qianqian knowing, a ripple appeared in the void, and the "Red Flame Poison Scorpion King" had already slipped away...

Li Yunjing’s brows furrowed slightly, his divine sense keenly catching that trace of spatial fluctuation.

He smirked coldly, secretly transmitting, "That beast has left."

"Phew..."

Ying Qianqian’s taut nerves somewhat relaxed, yet her eyes still carried vigilance: "Will it really give up so easily?"

"It’s just an avatar, not worth risking its life over."

Li Yunjing put away the Thunder Skill, turning to Master Zhu Yang’s Golden Core, "But this Fellow Daoist Zhu..."

The Golden Core imprisoned by the "Heavenly Net" trembled slightly, Master Zhu Yang’s weak voice transmitting, "Fellow Daoist Li, thank you for your rescue just now. That Demon King’s avatar has been driven off; now I..."
