Yilu Lok dodged the attack of the scorpion, the attacks of the scorpion hit the ground and from the impacts of the attack the entire cave began to shake and dust began to fly all over.
At the side of the entrance of the cave the second escort puts down the injured first escort and looks in the direction where Yilu Lok and the giant red scorpion are fighting.
He is unable to see what is happening because of the dust that is flying all over but he can feel Yilu Lok is fighting with his life on the line.
"Young master…"
The second escort clenches his fists because of his powerlessness. He clenches his fist so hard that his nail digs into his palm and blood starts flowing.
At the side of Yilu Lok in his state of flow Yilu Lok can temporarily negate the backlash from the {Casualty}.
'I am dead if any of his attacks hit me. But I have to look for an opportunity and end this soon. I can't hold on for much longer.'
Yilu Lok dodges the relentless attacks of and thinks. Yilu Lok can feel that his body is going to reach the limit soon and when that happens he will suffer a heavy backlash from the overuse of {Casualty}. He has to end it before that.
After dodging a few more times Yilu Lok jumps over the right pincer of the giant red scorpion and starts running towards its face.
In order to shake Yilu Lok the giant red scorpion swings his right pincer violently. But just in time Yilu Lok stabs his soulblade in his shell.
After trying for a few seconds the giant red scorpion is unable to shake Yilu Lok off so he swings his left pincer at Yilu Lok. Yilu Lok again dodges and the left pincer hits the right pincer.
"Screech!"
The giant red scorpion screeches in pain Yilu Lok grabs the opportunity and puts all his strength in his legs and jumps at the top of the giant red scorpion's head. And with his full strength stabs his soulsword deep in the right eye of the giant red scorpion.
"Screechhhh!"
The giant red scorpion, mad in pain, shakes his head off to throw Yilu Lok away but Yilu Lok's sword is deeply stuck inside the right eye of the giant red scorpion.
Since the giant red scorpion can't shake Yilu Lok off. The giant red scorpion completely loses his sanity and starts to bang his Yilu Lok into the ground alongside its head.
"Cough!"
Yilu Lok is slammed into the ground a few times and coughs violently. His ribs and back bone cracks from the impacts. But Yilu Lok grits his teeth and tightly holds the soulblade that is lodged in the right of the giant red scorpion.
Then suddenly with a red flash the man wearing a plain red robe enters from the cave and a few seconds later Jiu Jin also enters the cave chasing after the man.
The second escort looks at both of them with stunned expressions. But as his eyes fall on Jiu Jin his expression changes into happiness and he shouts.
"Captain, please help the young master he is fighting the beast lord."
When the voice of the second escort falls into the ears of Jiu Jin he then looks in the direction of Yilu Lok.
He sees Yilu Lok being smashed into the ground by the giant red scorpion. He stops chasing the man in red and runs to save Yilu Lok.
On the side of Yilu Lok after being smashed by the giant red scorpion he is in bad condition and the sword that is lodged inside the right eye of the giant red scorpion is about to fall off.
Because of his enhanced scenes Yilu Lok feels the presence of Jiu Jin coming to save him and smiles as he is smashed into the ground.
"Finally."
As the giant red scorpion raises his head to once again smash the Yilu Lok. But this time Yilu Lok uses the force of momentum and pulls the soulblade away from its eyes and from the force he launched into the air.
Seeing that the hateful enemy that has destroyed his one eye launched into the air the giant red scorpion swings his tail vertically at Yilu Lok.
Yilu Lok uses the power of {Casualty} to the extreme a drop of blood starts to flow from his purple universe eyes. He can now clearly see the purple lines on the tail of the giant red scorpion.
As the tail is about to hit Yilu Lok he uses all the remaining strength in his body and swings the soulblade emitting the aura of {Casualty} and hits a purple line on the tail.
"Clang!"
A sound of metal clashing erupts from the collision but this time no shockwave is produced. Yilu Lok used all of his strength and the momentum of swing to slightly deflect the tail of the giant red scorpion.
A deep wound appears on the tail of the giant red scorpion where the soulblade of Yilu Lok collided and blue blood started to flow from the wound. Yilu Lok is sent flying and falls into the blood pool.
"Young masterrrrrr."
Looking at Yilu Lok falling into the blood pool, Jiu Jin explodes in anger and looks at the giant red scorpion.
"You.. You basterd."
Jiu Jin screams and swings his sword filled with flame qi at the giant red scorpion.
Due to losing his sanity in anger in the battle with Yilu Lok the giant red scorpion did not notice Jiu Jin. The sword attack hits the left pincer of the giant red scorpion cutting it away from its body.
"Screechhhh."
The giant red scorpion screeches and takes a few steps back. The giant red scorpion may be a beast lord whose strength rivals a peak master but it has just taken a step into becoming a beast lord and Jiu Jin is a late-peak master. The giant red scorpion can instinctively feel that it is unable to resist Jiu Jin and tries to retreat.
But Jiu Jin is really angry he does not stop and he is about to unleash his second strike. But at that moment a red claw attacked from behind Jiu Jin.
Jiu Jin rotates and clashes with the red claw and pushes the man back then he looks at the man with anger.
"You…"
"Shi shi shi it seems you are too late. Heaven is also on my side."
"What do you mean?"
The man looks at Jiu Jin with a joyful expression and says.
"Do you want to know?"
Jiu Jin swings his sword at the man.
"You.."
The man hurriedly swings his left red claw in response. But because of the difference in their levels he is pushed a few steps back.
"Shi shi shi."
But instead of getting angry the man laughed.
"There is no point in attacking me. It's too late. Your young master should have already dissolved in the blood pool."
Jiu Jin looks at the blood pool and then points his sword at the man.
"You are lying."
"Shi shi shi."
The man again laughs and says.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to believe me. This blood pool is made to strengthen demon beasts by dissolving humans into blood. No human can survive in this blood pool."
Jiu Jin looks at the blood pool with disbelief and walks towards the edge of the blood pool and touches it.
But as soon as he touches it he feels his skin burning and pulls his hand back. Then he turns around unwilling to accept that Yilu Lok is dead.
He looks at the giant red scorpion that is standing far away from Jiu Jin.
"You beast… it's all because of you."
Jiu Jin starts to fill his sword with flame qi and begins to walk towards the giant red scorpion.
"Shi shi shi shi."
The man began to laugh at Jiu Jin.
As Jiu Jin walks towards the giant red scorpion his anger begins to rise. Feeling the threat of the giant red scorpion, instead of fighting Jiu Jin it began to retreat towards the blood pool.
The giant red scorpion has seen that Jiu Jin is unable to enter the blood pool if he wants to protect his life. Only the blood pool can save him.
As Jiu Jin is walking towards the escaping giant red scorpion. Every step he walks he feels his mind getting clearer and clearer then suddenly something inside of him breaks and he stops.
The man stops laughing and looks at Jiu Jin with disbelief.
"Impossible… It's impossible he.. he broke through."
Jiu Jin feels all of his anger disappearing and his mind becoming clear. Then he lifts his sword above his head, his sword begins to shine with orange light.
Dance of the flame sword-Third form.
Jiu Jin swings his sword and a red light cuts through the ground and reaches the giant red scorpion in an instant.
Half of the body of the giant red scorpions has entered the blood pool. But next instant an orange light passes through its body and it stops all of his movements.
The man stumbles and falls backward.
"This… this is.. sword intent. You have really reached perfect-peak."
As the sentence ends from the middle the body of the giant red scorpion splits in two.
Jiu Jin turns around and looks at the man and says with an expressionless face.
"Now it's your turn."
The man does not say anything because he knows that his end is inevitable, he can't escape a perfect-peak master.
"Shi shi shi shi. At least I have your young master to give me company in hell."
A vein pops up in the head of Jiu Jin from anger. But just as Jiu Jin is about to cut the head of the man, suddenly something strange happens and Jiu Jin disappears from his position and the man looks at where Jiu Jin was standing with disbelief.
