Chapter 3107: ???Defeated???

ld I believe you" The broken-armed man's voice was laced with undisguised distrust towards the Heavenly Demon King. 。“I can teach you a special method for using the boundary heaven stone.” 。And to uti...Zhao Xiuyuan had already missed an opportunity, and now there was nowhere to hide. Before the scorpion's sting could reach his dantian, he felt a sharp, needle-like pain in his abdomen. A wave of frigid energy almost froze the immortal essence within his dantian completely.

At this time, Zhao Xiuyuan wasn't even using his magical artifacts smoothly. His movements were almost stiff.

“My life is at an end.” At this moment, Zhao Xiuyuan had no time to blame the lotus avatar. As death approached, he felt that all the petty squabbles over interests with his fellow disciples within the sect were utterly ridiculous.

Compared to life and death, everything else seems insignificant. He used to be too preoccupied with trivial matters. It's only now that he's finally realizing this, but perhaps it's too late.

Just when Zhao Xiuyuan thought he was about to return to the heavens, at some unknown time, a faint sword intent appeared in his dantian. Zhao Xiuyuan was startled, and before he could even look, there was a "ding" sound, as if the ice scorpion's tail hadn't pierced his dantian, but was blocked by something hard.

“Retreat!” A cold voice entered Zhao Xiuyuan’s ears. Although Zhao Xiuyuan didn't understand exactly what happened, he reacted that he had been saved, and by the one he had previously blamed deeply.

Only after he had retreated several dozen paces did he see that a small sword had appeared sometime ago in front of him. With the small sword as its core, it emitted a sword-shaped shield that firmly blocked the Ice Scorpion's sting.

Though small, the sword and shield were precise and blocked the opponent's attack perfectly.

The ice scorpion demon opposite had been amassing its power for a strike, preparing to kill a powerful immortal and lay the groundwork for slaughtering all the cultivators in this place. Who could have predicted that just as success was within reach, someone would suddenly intervene, completely foiling his plans

The Bingxie Demon roared in fury, surging out of the clan. Two others behind it also shot forward with lightning speed.

“Let them withdraw first. I’ll slay some of these creatures, then according to the formation and terrain, we'll defend step by step.” The lotus avatar pushed her hands forward, a flying sword condensing out of thin air. Compared to the ice scorpion tail that pierced with astonishing speed, it seemed sluggish, but the three tails were quickly blocked by two other swords shields. Two small flying swords stood upright, forming a nearly circular shield shape. Once a scorpion tail pierced through, it was like getting stuck in something sticky, and no matter how hard they struggled, they couldn’t shake it off.

Another scorpion tail, even faster, still inevitably collided with the massive flying sword.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

In their previous encounters, the unassuming swordsman had always played a defensive game, not causing the Ice Demon Scorpion much displeasure. But this time, upon clashing, a seemingly placid sword intent spread from the tip of the tail spike, which was the hardest part of its stinger.

The Ice Demon Scorpion cried out in pain, its toughest tail spike was still fine, but the part behind the tail spike was nearly split apart under that all-encompassing sword intent.

At the instant the Ice Demon Scorpion clashed with the Lotus Avatar, a powerful surge of energy erupted outward, causing the mine to shake violently. Thankfully, some formations protected the inside of the mine, and most of the stone walls were already very sturdy, so there was no collapse.

The Immortals on both sides, or those with Immortal-level prowess, blocked the shockwave. Otherwise, this massive impact alone would have caused countless low-ranking Ice Scorpion Demons and cultivators to die instantly.

Zhao Xiuyuan stared blankly as the Lotus avatar battled with the leader of these ice scorpion demons. He finally understood why Tu Xingyun had gone to such great lengths to bring the Lotus avatar here. Tu Xingyun was never a pushover, but towards this unnamed swordsman before him, he had always been generous and fair. This was because the other party's strength had reached a level that even Tu Xingyun had to treat with caution.

Zhao Xiuyuan felt that the nameless swordsman before him was no weaker than Tu Xinyun, and even stronger in some aspects.

The lotus avatar defended against the Ice Scorpion Demon's two-pronged attack with a pair of swords and shields. The massive, slow sword from the center pressed down, advancing steadily, but its attacking pace was unwavering and without any hesitation.

Though the Bing Xie Yao tried their best to resist, they were still unable to delay the advance of the giant sword. Even several ice scorpions at the Immortal level were intimidated by this sword.

A shrill scream echoed as the Ice Scorpion Demon King was cleaved in half by the crisscrossing sword beams. The giant sword crashed heavily to the ground, slicing through a multitude of lower-ranked Ice Scorpions behind it. The Ice Scorpion Demon King, now missing a tail, had retreated back into the scorpion horde.

The Ice Scorpion Demon leader, enraged and injured, spurred his tribe to attack in a relentless wave.

The lotus avatar remained impassive. The massive sword, which had leisurely advanced towards them, did not falter after severing the Ice Scorpion Demon Leader's tail. Instead, it continued its relentless advance. Sword qi continuously emanated from the blade, swirling like a dense rain and shooting outwards in all directions. Once they reached a certain distance, they would reform and rejoin the main body of the sword.

At this time, the giant sword was like a flying boat, and the countless sword qi were like arrows that could be recovered, coming and going. Under the dense sword qi, ice scorpion demons of different strengths were constantly pierced with holes. Even those immortal-level ice scorpion demons, seeing the giant sword slowly approaching, not fast but unstoppable, felt fear. The main body of the flying sword, like a giant boat, was extremely agile, as if it did not need to be controlled by humans to exert considerable power.

Two ice scorpion demons of the immortal level were strangled under the endless sword energy, and the giant flying sword that had originally seemed unstoppable suddenly lost its spiritual energy. The sharp and invincible sword intent was like losing something most important.

"Leave the rest to you." Killing two Ice Scorpion Demons, who were merely at the Immortal level, wasn't much of an accomplishment for the Lotus Avatar. The Lotus Avatar raised a hand and summoned back the giant sword that had suddenly lost its brilliance. The Lotus Avatar then gave Zhao Xiuyan another order.

Thereafter, the lotus avatar fell into a state of self-absorption. It seemed that the bloody carnage before him held little significance for the lotus avatar.

"Good." Zhao Xiuyuan responded directly. From the current state of the lotus incarnation, the other party should be cultivating an extremely powerful divine ability. To have the time and mood to comprehend divine bravery in this environment is truly extraordinary. The opponent's methods are already so formidable, one can only wonder what kind of power his divine ability will possess when perfected.

What the nameless swordsman just demonstrated was merely a glimpse of his power, far from his full strength. Even so, it was enough to be astounding. At this moment, Zhao Xiuyuan's heart no longer harbored any resentment towards the lotus avatar. With such a powerful expert present, not only himself but also everyone else in the mine felt their confidence soar. At least for now, they didn't have to worry about the ice scorpion demon's monstrous creatures suddenly appearing and overwhelming them.

However, for Zhao Xiuyuan, besides the Ice Scorpion Demon Leader, although other immortal-level Ice Scorpion Demons were powerful, they hadn't reached a level that was impossible to deal with., Yang Shuo's body shattered in mid-air, and only then did the madness subside.Not only was Liu Yushi fighting against the blood-red moonlight, even Lu Xiaoteng, who saw this scene, couldn't help but...
