1106: Chapter 673 1106: Chapter 673 Su Chang’an controlled the formation, and the scorpions within it, upon witnessing the attacks from the human cultivators, became utterly frenzied!
Frenzied in flight, frenzied in spewing venom, frenzied in shooting fire from their eyes!
Unfortunately for the scorpions, trapped within the confines of the formation, they were powerless to counterattack the cultivators outside, yet the cultivators outside could strike at them freely.
In this one-sided massacre, the scorpions struggled fiercely, their bodies breaking open under lethal blows, and black blood oozing out from their wounds!
If a woman were to see this scene now, she would likely recoil in terror—scorpions, after all!
The male cultivators led by Su Chang’an harbored their own fears, yet none would dare show a trace of it.
At this moment, their mission remained paramount, and regardless of the demon’s type or form…
They had to prevail.
They were the first wave, the vanguard, tasked with killing as many demons as possible within eight hours!
No matter how many demonic beasts the Western Demon Realm sent forth, if they kept killing nonstop, one day they would eradicate every last one!
Reproduction wouldn’t be swift, and thus, the future dangers would diminish greatly!
The scorpions emitted no loud cries, seemingly a unique breed of insect, devoid of other noises.
Their eyes and mouths remained hidden, yet the crimson glow they radiated was unmistakable!
Thus, though their mouths were unseen, the venom they spewed alongside the red beams from their eyes could still be felt!
A scorpion, inherently a venomous insect, had been cultivated into a demon.
Clearly, in the Western Demon Realm, creatures ranging from poisonous bugs to any manner of life forms could potentially evolve into demons!
During combat with these creatures, the cultivators had to suppress their nausea and steel their minds.
Nonetheless, none of them hailed from the Tang Family nor the Dugu Family; these clans didn’t engage in breeding poisonous bugs, leaving the cultivators with a subtle feeling of discomfort in their hearts.
In the cultivation world, many individuals with high abilities contracted spiritual pets to supplement their own strength.
Su Chang’an had no spiritual pet contract; outwardly refined yet inwardly solitary and powerful, he had focused on cultivation within his noble clan, developing his strength, only forging ties with Jiang Tang after stepping outside.
However, within Su Chang’an resided his Lifebound Sword—a hallmark of a sword cultivator.
It granted him extraordinary strength in sword techniques, a rarity among cultivators, as not all could possess such a powerful, nurtured Lifebound Sword!
The sword blades Su Chang’an unleashed were formed from spells.
His Lifebound Sword was not something he intended to expend on low-level demonic beasts such as these.
The Lifebound Sword was his ultimate trump card, a vessel of unrivaled swordsmanship, formidable mana, and overwhelming soul power.
Yet, its usage required finely tuned spiritual control.
The scorpions, mere Demon Core-level threats, were leagues below him in power!
To Su Chang’an, they were but fodder to crush, to humiliate, to force regret for ever coming to this place!
The Western Demon Realm seemed to have limitless confidence in its invasion—seeking to conquer the Eastern Demon Realm starting with the cultivators.
Their goal was to absorb human spiritual energy to combat the Eastern Demon Realm!
Su Chang’an remained unaware of the Eastern Demon Realm’s precise whereabouts, though the cultivation world and the demon realms shared some resonance, having brokered certain laws.
In accordance with these laws, the powerful demon realm’s Demon King was forbidden from recklessly unleashing beast tides to disrupt the order!
Demons could appear in mountainous regions if they were lower-tier beasts, but powerful demonic creatures were strictly prohibited.
Should they cause chaos, cultivators would annihilate them without hesitation!
Under such laws, obtaining ancient Divine Beast contracts or even spiritual pet contracts was often a matter of pure luck!
Some noble clans cultivated beasts internally, avoiding casual contracts in the wild, while others seized fortuitous opportunities in ancient secret realms brimming with resources!
In the cultivation world, bitter conflicts over resources, including murder and treasure theft, were commonplace!
While some acted covertly, few dared to make open moves.
Take the present scenario, for instance: confronted with such vicious scorpions, no one entertained thoughts of forming contracts.
Perhaps the Eastern demons differed from the Western ones…
Or perhaps, Western beasts were already under the influence of certain demons and thus inherently untrustworthy!
Su Chang’an’s Sword Rain fell upon the scorpions, their bodies afflicted by the sword strikes, their demonic qi dissipating into thin air!
As blood seeped from their wounds, their bodies weakened progressively!
Scorpions relied on spiritual energy and magic to spew venom.
As the demonic qi within them diminished, their venom attacks grew feebler!
The scorpions had surely realized by now—the humans were mercilessly crushing them!
Their glowing red eyes dulled to vacant stares.
With the waning of their demonic qi, their bodies became uncontrollable, succumbing to the inevitability of slaughter!
Su Chang’an’s Sword Rain had thoroughly depleted the scorpions’ strength.
Meanwhile, other cultivators unleashed their own mana continuously, supporting the fight, and learning from their captain’s prowess.
Whether in combat or spellcasting, Su Chang’an’s example provided insights.
The spells they cast were informed by the techniques displayed by their peers.
Su Chang’an, this Heavenly Pride with abilities far surpassing theirs, led them heroically—unceasingly killing, unceasingly crushing, unceasingly dominating!
The exhilaration was palpable; they felt no danger, only immense satisfaction in their relentless power!
For every young cultivator, for every hero aspirant, the dream of heroism spurred them on—to crush, slaughter, and destroy demonic beasts without a shred of guilt or hesitation!
In no time, more scorpions succumbed, their souls bound and extinguished, depriving them of their chance for reincarnation and cultivation anew!
