The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 261 - 162: If Life Were Just Like When We First Met

She instinctively performed an Iron Plate Bridge move, bending her waist backward by ninety degrees, easily dodging the strike, then quickly stepped back from the range of the steel tail’s attack!

At this moment, her bodily instincts surpassed the speed of her thoughts; the special training Changtian usually exhausted Divine Power on showed its effects now.

By her ear, Qiongqi urgently reported, "I can’t see, but this presence, it belongs to the Banshee who once captured you—Da Zi!"

Da Zi? She was suddenly alarmed! Such a stunningly beautiful Banshee with voluptuous curves, her true form was actually this terrifying. However, she’s always been proud of her identity, judging from her meticulous attire usually, she wouldn’t reveal her true form unless absolutely necessary, so why is she now appearing in this guise and bringing bad luck to her?

The appearance of the scorpion was, of course, expressionless, but its pair of blood-red eyes were filled with hatred, and from its mouthparts hung a pair of dripping fangs, appearing as if it couldn’t wait to swallow her whole.

Aside from standing her up once, where did Ning Xiaoxian offend this Scorpion Demoness?

Even if we step back a hundred steps, how did she find her? In this jungle where the grass is taller than humans, even she can hardly find herself, how did Da Zi discover her whereabouts? This question is very important!

"Hey, let’s talk this out, Big Sister Da Zi!" This demon is old enough to understand human speech, why not communicate with her?

Da Zi’s response was a giant hooked tail falling from the sky. It seems the tail is quite multifunctional, not only can it whip left and right like a spring but also serves as a pile driver. Just as she dodged two steps, the hooked tip pierced into the ground, and with a pull, clumps of soil and grass roots came flying towards her face.

She reached out to protect her eyes, while the Scorpion Demoness took advantage of this gap and turned around, with Big Claw striking again!

Was she determined to fight to the death with her? Ning Xiaoxian gritted her teeth. The opponent was a demon at Great Success Stage, with countless Divine Skills at its disposal, wasn’t it easy to capture a mortal like her? What is this now, playing a game of cat and mouse with her?

But what could she do anyway? Sitting and waiting for death was never her style.

She dared not hide in the jungle. The weeds here were too tall, easily obstructing vision, and overly long, she could trip over them easily. The giant scorpion, like a tank, although its movements were limited in the narrow space, was still more comfortable than her. Already at a disadvantage facing the giant scorpion, what kind of fight could it be if this continued?

Ning Xiaoxian dodged two more attacks, gradually figuring out the scorpion’s pattern; besides Big Claw’s swiping, chopping, and slashing, there was also the Poison Hook swinging unstably overhead, waiting to strike, nearly acting like a third Poison Claw. In fact, she was mostly paying attention to the movements of this Poison Hook; Qiongqi had no Demon Eye to inform her of the situation on scene, a turn too slow, thus her chest was fiercely hit by Big Claw, throwing her ten meters away.

This hit was like being struck by a siege hammer, her vision went dark, almost passing out. Fortunately, she bit hard on her tongue tip, and subsequently felt a sweetness in her throat, yet couldn’t help coughing up a mouthful of blood. The strength of this scorpion was truly horrifying, if it were an ordinary person, they might have had their chest crushed, dead beyond dead.

Speaking of which, wasn’t she wearing the Life Replacement Jade Token given by Tantai on her waist? Why didn’t it work?

She gasped for breath hurriedly, finding her breastbone miraculously unbroken, which showed how durable her constitution had become, with much enhanced resilience to blows; however, her lungs ached faintly, clearly having sustained some internal injuries.

She had originally hoped Da Zi would be more rational. As long as there were words to be said, there was a chance to live.

She couldn’t delay any longer, although she didn’t know why Da Zi engaged only in melee with her, it was obvious that in usual confrontations she preferred using Divine Skills and wasn’t very good at brawling, almost resorting to instincts to attack, not grasping the opportunities earlier. Since she wanted to play it this way, Ning Xiaoxian would just accompany her to the end!

Ning Xiaoxian took the opportunity to put a Pei Yuan Pill in her mouth, enduring the pain in her chest. The next time Big Claw attacked, she sidestepped and simultaneously drew out her Dagger, lightly slashing at its joint. Although the Dagger was compact, with that slash it deeply penetrated the tendons. She gripped the Dagger tightly and twisted it harshly to magnify the damage, green fluid—presumably the Scorpion Demoness’ blood—spurted from the wound.
