Chapter 341: An Ingenious Kill

Chapter 341: The Clever Kill

Boom! Bang!

At the instant the blue fireball detonated.

A sudden wave of terror welled up within the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord's heart.

It felt a looming threat of death.

It could not comprehend why the threat posed by the blue fireball had suddenly intensified?

This made no sense whatsoever.

Bang!

A streak of radiance shot forth from the exploding blue fireball.

Propelled by the blast, it erupted with astonishing velocity and force.

Instantly piercing through the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord's energy shield and hard carapace.

Crack! Splash!

The Blade of Judgment impaled itself into the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord's interior.

Immediately, the lethal effect activated.

The Poison Scorpion Beast Lord's formidable vitality ceased abruptly.

It died instantly.

One moment, the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord stood proud, its aura overwhelmingly powerful.

The next, its aura dissipated instantly, it crashed to the earth, eyes dimming.

Bang!

The towering scorpion tail struck the ground, making a heavy thud.

Marking the demise of the mighty Poison Scorpion Beast Lord.

Li Wei drifted down slowly from the air, a smile gracing his face.

Finally, he had slain the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord.

The strategy he employed was quite ingenious.

The Blade of Judgment can automatically lock onto targets to launch assaults.

Yet, the locked target will also perceive it.

The stronger the creature, the keener its perception of danger.

Hence, the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord realized the grave threat of the Blade of Judgment the moment it was targeted.

Li Wei's tactic was simply not to lock onto the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord.

Breaking from the standard operating procedure of the Blade of Judgment.

He concealed the Blade of Judgment within the blue fireball.

Leveraging the impact force generated by the explosion to drive the Blade of Judgment toward the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord.

Thus, without pre-locking, the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord would only sense the Blade of Judgment when its life was truly imperiled.

By that time, it was already too late.

The explosive shockwave instantly accelerated the Blade of Judgment to speeds exceeding several thousand meters per second.

In mere microseconds, even if the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord was as powerful as possible, it could not react or defend.

Under Li Wei's meticulous design, the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord's death was justified.

Throughout the whole process, the only uncertainty for Li Wei was that he could not control the direction of the explosion's power, unable to precisely guide the blast to push the Blade of Judgment into the Beast Lord's body.

Fortunately, however, the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord's body was sufficiently massive.

The blue fireball was also close enough to the Beast Lord.

Though it ultimately missed Li Wei's aimed spot by a wide margin, at least it struck home.

Striking was sufficient.

Whether piercing the heart or slicing a finger.

The lethal effect of the Blade of Judgment would take hold regardless.

Li Wei descended slowly, linking his mental power to the Blade of Judgment embedded in the Beast Lord.

Guided by mental power, the Blade of Judgment exited the Beast Lord's body, flying back to Li Wei.

Hiss hiss hiss!

A fifth-tier Poison Scorpion Beast witnessed Li Wei slaying the Lord, utterly stunned.

Instinctively wishing to flee.

Yet turning, it saw Li Wei descending.

Li Wei had entered its attack range.

A boundless courage surged within the fifth-tier Poison Scorpion Beast's heart.

Believing it could kill Li Wei to avenge the Lord.

As long as it killed Li Wei, it could become the next Lord!

So, it initiated an assault.

Whoosh!

Squelch!

The Blade of Judgment sliced across the fifth-tier Poison Scorpion Beast's body.

The fifth-tier Poison Scorpion Beast died instantly.

The scorpion tail just lifted, went limp, and collapsed.

Li Wei controlled the Blade of Judgment to harvest the lives of the surrounding beasts.

Ordinary Poison Scorpion Beasts, even sensing the Blade of Judgment's deadly threat.

Could not react or counter in time.

Li Wei effortlessly slaughtered all the surrounding Poison Scorpion Beasts.

Terrified, the distant beasts turned and fled.

All Poison Scorpion Beasts escaped, leaving only a field of corpses. Li Wei exhaled, his tense heart relaxing slightly.

"It is finished, the remainder is to enter the Poison Scorpion Beast nest and find the Poison Dragon Saliva Grass and Poison Dragon Saliva."

Lilith withdrew the Shadow Lord, gazing at Li Wei from afar, a hint of reverence showing in her eyes.

Quickly, she suppressed her admiration for the powerful within her heart.

Her gaze calmly fixed upon Li Wei.

Bella stared at Levi, dumbfounded.

When she saw Levi being engulfed by the Poison Scorpion Lord's attacks, her heart turned to ash.

She felt it was all over.

In the blink of an eye, she witnessed Levi turn the tables on the Poison Scorpion Lord.

With a single stroke, he sealed the fate.

From the commencement of the battle to its conclusion, barely more than a dozen seconds had passed.

An extremely powerful Peak Sixth-Rank Poison Scorpion Lord lay dead in Levi's hands.

This inflicted a profound shock upon Bella's soul.

Among these, the Legendary weapon, Blade of Judgment, played a pivotal role.

Yet, she also acknowledged Levi's formidable strength.

It was precisely because she had battled the Poison Scorpion Lord herself that she understood how extraordinary this feat truly was.

Far harder than it appeared.

Christiman stood frozen like a statue, his heart trembling with shock.

He did not know what words to speak.

The oppressive pressure exerted by the Poison Scorpion Lord was immense.

It felt as though drawing near meant certain death.

Such a mighty beast had fallen so effortlessly in Levi's grasp.

The stark and overwhelming contrast rendered him unable to accept it immediately.

Had Levi displayed such power from the outset, it would have been acceptable.

He would not have been so stunned.

Yet Levi was merely a Third-Rank Mage wielding a Legendary weapon.

And yet he dispatched the Poison Scorpion Lord with such ease.

For a moment, he could not discern whether it was the weapon's might or Levi's true prowess that shone.

His entire being felt hazy, tinged with disbelief.

"Stop gawking, hurry and take me and Evelyn to find the Poison Dragon Saliva Grass."

Bella urged.

Hearing this, Christiman finally snapped back to reality.

He hurriedly rushed toward the Poison Scorpion nest.

Controlling the wind, he carried Evelyn and Bella floating toward the nest.

Levi saw Christiman and Bella approaching.

"The Poison Scorpion Lord is dead; we may enter to seek the Poison Dragon Saliva Grass."

Christiman nodded and said, "I understand, come with me."

An old horse knows the path.

He had not come to the Poison Scorpion nest to find the Poison Dragon Saliva Grass for the first time.

Previously, each time the Poison Scorpion Lord went out to hunt, it was he who advanced into the nest to find the Poison Dragon Saliva Grass.

Bella had always been tasked with scouting outside and restraining the Poison Scorpions and their Lord.

Christiman's Hundred Flowers Vassal ability was "Hyacinth".

While his combat prowess was weak, his support and concealment capabilities were exceptionally potent.

One of the Hyacinth's abilities was to convey messages via the wind.

He could transmit sound across distances through the wind, and also hear the whispers of the breeze.

Furthermore, he could utilize the wind to mask his scent and silhouette.

It was perfectly suited for infiltration operations.

Led by Christiman, the group moved swiftly through the depths of the Poison Scorpion nest.

Turning left and right without cease.

Even Levi grew dizzy watching, feeling as though he were lost.

He wondered how Christiman managed to remember such a convoluted route.

Remnants of Poison Scorpions still lingered within the nest.

However, for Levi and the others, they posed absolutely no threat.

Once the Blade of Judgment was drawn, bodies littered the ground.

"We have arrived, it lies just ahead."
