Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of muffled thuds rang out one after another, like hammering stakes into the ground.
The burly Du Jiao stood suspended in midair, his massive frame towering as his hands tightly gripped the Scorpion Tail, swinging it violently and smashing down without pause.
Swing left, smash down. Swing right, smash down.
Over and over again in an endless cycle. The Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast let out agonized, ear-piercing roars with each brutal slam.
The entire land trembled violently beneath the relentless impacts. This was pure, unrestrained, brute-force violence — nothing fancy, just raw physical power. Wave after wave of terrifying energy shockwaves erupted and rippled outwards.
A moment later.
Finally, it came to a stop.
The dust and smoke that blanketed the skies slowly began to disperse. The ground below had been ravaged beyond recognition, as though countless artillery shells had relentlessly bombarded it, leaving it pitted and cratered everywhere.
Thick, arm-wide fissures spread across the earth, stretching out like scars.
At the center of a massive pit, the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast lay sprawled limply, his entire body slack and motionless, eyes dull, his pupils nearly losing all focus.
Blood — dark, sticky, and thick as a stream — dribbled endlessly from the corners of his mouth.
His body trembled faintly, and it was impossible to tell just how many of his bones had already been shattered.
Du Jiao descended slowly, landing steadily on the ground. He gave the limp Scorpion Tail in his hand a slight shake, but seeing the opponent lying there like a pile of useless mud, completely devoid of resistance, he instantly lost all interest.
Casually tossing the tail aside, he rumbled in his deep, muffled voice, "King?… so weak."
Pffft~
The Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast coughed up a mouthful of dark-red blood mixed with bits of his crushed organs.
Since the day he gained his human form, today was undoubtedly the most miserable, humiliating defeat he had ever suffered.
Wei Yang and the others walked forward, stepping closer. They looked at the pitiful state of the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast, then glanced at Du Jiao, who still stood like an immovable mountain.
Brutal. Far too brutal!
Wei Yang rubbed his chin, clicking his tongue twice. Du Jiao's fighting style… really had that Hulk Smash vibe to it.
Even Ah Da couldn't help but glance at Du Jiao in slight surprise. So this guy wasn't completely brainless when he fought, huh?
Knowing his speed couldn't match his opponent, he actually chose to sacrifice taking a hit just to grab onto the Scorpion Tail — a clever, vicious move.
Qing Lin's gaze landed on Du Jiao's chest. There, a gaping wound that had previously pierced clean through his body was now forcibly sealed by rapidly regenerating flesh. Even so, strands of dark purple blood still seeped out from the wound, trickling down.
That blood carried an intense, acrid stench, clearly laced with potent venom.
"Du Jiao, are you okay?" Qing Lin asked with concern.
"Master, I'm fine," Du Jiao replied in his deep, muffled tone, "I'm not afraid… of his poison."
"As long as you're fine." Qing Lin patted her chest lightly, letting out a quiet sigh of relief.
Xian'er took out a jade bottle, pouring out a dragon-eye-sized medicinal pill that emitted a refreshing fragrance. Handing it to Du Jiao, she said, "This is a Tier 5 Healing Pill. Take it to suppress your injuries."
"Thank you, Mistress." Du Jiao took the pill, tossed it into his mouth, chewed twice, and swallowed it.
"Du Jiao, good job." Wei Yang gave him a firm pat on the shoulder, his tone filled with approval and encouragement.
Then, without hesitation, Wei Yang turned and stepped forward, walking slowly down into the massive pit.
Crack~
Wei Yang stepped onto the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast's chest, lowering his head to stare down at him, his voice calm yet cold, "My woman… and you dare set your sights on her? Hm?"
As he spoke, he twisted his foot slightly, grinding it harder against the beast's chest.
Originally, the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast could have died quickly, cleanly, even with some dignity.
But he just had to run his damn mouth, didn't he?
So now… he would die without dignity.
"Cough, cough, cough~" The Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast's dull, unfocused pupils regained a flicker of light as he coughed several times.
He fixed Wei Yang with a venomous glare, opening his mouth to unleash a long, thunderous roar from deep within his throat.
As the deafening roar spread, the entire land beneath them suddenly began to shake violently once again.
Then, faint rustling sounds started echoing from afar — a countless, eerie chorus.
Wei Yang and the others turned toward the sound, and their eyes narrowed sharply.
From the distant horizon, a black tide surged forward like an overwhelming wave. Thick poisonous miasma rose high above the endless black tide, condensing into a massive, roiling toxic cloud that hung ominously in the sky.
Seeing this, Wei Yang's brow arched slightly.
"Brother Yang, those are all poisonous creatures from the Fallen God Stream," Xian'er frowned slightly, her voice cold, "He's summoned them."
As her words fell, the black tide drew closer and closer.
Wei Yang's sharp gaze swept over it, and he finally saw the truth.
That "black tide" wasn't just fog — it was an endless ocean of venomous beasts, swarming together in a vast, terrifying flood.
The poisonous cloud coiling above the sky was formed entirely from the countless toxins those beasts were spewing into the air.
Within that endless, densely packed ocean of venomous beasts, Wei Yang even sensed two other fairly strong auras.
Although they weren't nearly as powerful as the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast, they were still around the level of a Four-Star Dou Zong.
"You've got quite a number of underlings, huh." Wei Yang raised his brows slightly, sounding a bit surprised.
"Cough, cough… This king is the dominator of this entire region. These poisonous beasts… they all obey my commands. Cough, cough… If you kill this king, you won't be leaving unscathed either."
The Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast's face was dark and twisted as he coldly said, "Leave now, and we can still walk away peacefully."
"Dominator? That was in the past." Wei Yang sneered lightly.
He then turned his head toward Du Jiao, a faint smile curling on his lips, "Du Jiao, go. Let this former 'dominator' see for himself… what true survival of the fittest means."
"Yes, Master." Du Jiao nodded heavily, stepping forward as his foot slammed into the ground.
Whoosh~
His massive frame blurred into a streak of lightning, darting out at extreme speed until he reached the front of that surging black tide.
His body twisted midair, and in the next moment, a dazzling burst of purple light erupted around him — Du Jiao had transformed into his true form.
A massive creature, nearly thirty zhang in length, hovered and coiled majestically in midair.His body was covered in dark purple-black scales that gleamed faintly beneath the moonlight, exuding a sense of innate nobility.
Atop his head, a long, spiraled black horn pierced straight toward the heavens. An immensely oppressive aura surged outward from within him, spreading across heaven and earth, blanketing the entire battlefield.
The advancing black tide suddenly began to slow.
"ROAR—!"
Du Jiao raised his head and let out a deafening, thunderous roar that rolled across the sky like crashing waves.
It was a declaration.
A proclamation of the arrival of a new ruler.
The poisonous beast tide gradually came to a halt.
Countless venomous beasts trembled violently under the oppressive aura, and many couldn't resist collapsing onto the ground, bowing submissively.
The once-surging beast tide's ferocity diminished by half in an instant, and even the dense poisonous clouds lingering above seemed to begin thinning out.
"See?" Wei Yang spread his hands with a mocking smirk, "Looks like your reign as dominator is already over."
He glanced lazily at the battered Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast, voice laced with sarcasm, "Aren't you magic beasts the ones who always preach about the law of the jungle — the weak being prey to the strong? I'd think you'd understand that better than me. A loser… how could you still be called a dominator? This right here, that's reality."
"Cough… One-Horned Purple Scale Python!" The Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast coughed violently, his face revealing both shock and unwillingness.
He never expected… that he had actually encountered the legendary One-Horned Purple Scale Python!
Indeed, the law of the jungle had always been the absolute truth among magic beasts.
But there was another, equally important rule — bloodline reigns supreme.
Among magic beasts, those with noble and powerful bloodlines were naturally born superior.Within the same realm, higher-bloodline beasts almost always possessed overwhelming advantages.
The Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast understood this rule well. After all, his own kind benefited from it — lesser-bloodline magic beasts often found themselves suppressed before him.
But unfortunately for him, today he had met One-Horned Purple Scale Python.
A being with an even nobler bloodline.
For such beasts with ancient bloodlines, reaching Dou Zong upon adulthood was the bare minimum.
With just a bit of patience and some decent opportunities, stepping into Dou Zun wasn't even considered difficult.
When it came to bloodline superiority, the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast couldn't even begin to compare — the gap was obvious.
Therefore, it was no surprise that the incoming poisonous beast tide would instinctively choose to submit to this newly revealed ruler.
"You… you can't kill me! Cough… This king is a member of the Dragon Scorpion Clan! If you kill me, my clan will come for revenge!"
The Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast's voice was hoarse, but his tone carried a deep, venomous threat.
"Dragon Scorpion Clan?" Wei Yang raised his brows slightly, his expression showing faint surprise.
This magic beast bloodline… he had indeed heard of it before.
Within the ranks of magic beast clans, the Dragon Scorpion Clan was considered an extremely powerful clan.
Their name carried a certain reputation, largely because of one thing — it was said that the blood flowing through their veins contained traces of ancient dragon bloodline.
And when one spoke of ancient dragons… it naturally referred to the most mysterious and most powerful clan of them all — the Ancient Void Dragons.
Within the magic beast world, any clan even remotely connected to the Ancient Void Dragons… was synonymous with absolute strength.
Moreover, the Dragon Scorpion Clan had far greater numbers compared to the extremely rare Ancient Void Dragons.
Thus, while they couldn't compare to truly dominant clans like the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, they still stood proudly among the top-tier magic beast clans.
Wei Yang hadn't expected this at all — this Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast was actually a member of the Dragon Scorpion Clan.
"So you're not just a Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast, huh? When did you get tied to the Dragon Scorpion Clan?" Wei Yang muttered thoughtfully, "Or maybe… the so-called Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast… is actually a mutation derived from the Dragon Scorpion Clan's bloodline?"
Thinking about it carefully, the names did seem related.
