Once out of the tent, Tang San saw Dai Mubai nearby swiftly running towards him. Behind him, a ray of fiery light shot towards the sky, almost burning his back. With a leap Dai Mubai reached the side of the camp grounds, his face not having a trace of panic but a happy expression.
"A suitable spirit beast delivered itself to our doorsteps. Little San, your medicine seemingly has no effect on it. It's at least a four thousand year old or so spirit beast."
Before Dai Mubai has finished speaking, Tang San has already sighted the spirit beast he spoke of.
It was a scorpion with a gigantic stature. Its body wasn't at all small compared to the Man Faced Demon Spider which Tang San killed previously; it was even several sizes bigger. What was bizarre was that this huge scorpion's entire body was snow white in colour. Entire body emitting a strong murderous aura, its pale body moved keeping close to the ground with a surprisingly fast speed. A tail made of a chain of nine tailbones rose high up, on top of it a fiery red tail hook was connected to it.
Just as Tang San saw it, a pillar of fire sprayed out from its tail, rushing towards Dai Mubai.
"Hey."
Dai Mubai exhaled,
"Do you think I'm still afraid of you."
White Tiger Spirit instantly enhancing his body, two yellow, two purple, four spirit rings appeared over him. With his body enhanced by his spirit, his stature was even more magnificent than before. Both hands clasping in front of his chest, the first spirit technique White Tiger Barrier already activated.
A loud peng sound rang out. The light of fire scattered all around Dai Mubai, his body taking three consecutive steps backwards before standing firm.
Currently, Tang San could already discern this spirit beast's species. From its outer appearance, he could conclude that this was a Giant Earth King, belonging to the fire based spirit beasts.
This scorpion called Giant Earth King was exceptionally tyrannical with a bloodthirsty nature. Although spirit beasts weren't as fearful of it as the Man Faced Demon Spider's poison, not many spirit beasts of the same grade dared provoke it. From its nine tailbones, one could see this Giant Earth King had a cultivation age of four thousand five hundred years or so. This was because every five hundred years, its tailbones would increase by one.
The Giant Earth King was categorized into three different colours. A red coloured Giant Earth King had a cultivation of less than a thousand years, each tailbone representing fifty years of cultivation. Once it had cultivated to a thousand years, its gigantic body would return to its original form, becoming small again but its body's colour would change from red to white. Also, if it cultivated to the level of ten thousand years, it would change colour once again. At that time, it would become dark blue in colour.
From its colour and the number of tailbones Tang San immediately concluded its strength. Correct, this spirit beast coincided with what they needed at the fortieth level spirit energy.
Just when Tang San was preparing to cooperate with Dai Mubai, as the rest of Shrek Seven Devils were exiting the tent, a shadow suddenly rushed out from the other tent. That was Liu Erlong with her hair in a terrible mess.
Right now Liu Erlong's clothes were slightly disheveled, looking as if she had gone insane. On seeing that four thousand year Giant Earth King after rushing out from the tent, she suddenly let out a howl, directly rushing towards the Giant Earth King. Not only were her movements surprisingly fast, but that burst of momentum shocked even Dai Mubai, Tang San and the others who were watching. Due to their attention being all focused on Liu Erlong, they did not see the miserable look of Zhao Wuji getting kicked out of the tent by Flender.
"Letting you to destroy this old woman's happy occasion, this old woman shall fight it out with you."
While Liu Erlong scolded angrily, she released her own Fire Dragon Spirit, rushing on without a single pause.
It could be considered that this Giant Earth King was unlucky. Originally with its cultivation, when facing Tang San and the others it might have an opportunity to escape, but what appeared in front of it right now was an utterly furious Liu Erlong. It had already lost any chance.
Suddenly seeing a human rushing towards it, the Giant Earth King's first reaction was to spray fire from its tail stinger, the same attack as it used on Dai Mubai earlier, a pillar of fire rushed towards the leaping Liu Erlong.
But Liu Erlong wasn't Dai Mubai. Without even dodging, intense flames soared from her whole body. In the next moment, Tang San and the others clearly saw a fiery light exploding from Liu Erlong. Her seventh spirit ring instantly shined, clothes instantly disappearing, scales covering her skin, a terrifying dragon cry reverberated throughout the air.
Tang San blankly said:
"Just to handle a thousand year spirit beast, teacher Erlong doesn't seem to require releasing her seventh spirit technique Scarlet Dragon Avatar. Didn't principal Flender say that we are to handle spirit beasts ourselves? Why did Teacher Erlong go up by herself?"
Dai Mubai's evil eyes are also lifeless,
"Before I always thought that the tigress was the most ferocious, now I understand that the female dragon is even more horrifying than the tigress."
"Dai Mubai, who did you say is a tigress?"
"Of course that's my Zhuqing..., uh..., no, Zhuqing, listen to me, I wasn't referring to you..."
After Dai Mubai subconsciously answered, he discovered the one asking him this question was Zhu Zhuqing.
Right now Zhu Zhuqing's expression wasn't one of icy cold, but one full of smiles. She who was originally very beautiful, with a smiling expression she became even more thrilling. But right now Dai Mubai wore an expression of panic.
Spirit beasts' senses were very keen, the higher the cultivation, the level of keenness naturally also increased. This Giant Earth King who had cultivated to close to five thousand years felt something wasn't right when Liu Erlong displayed the Scarlet Dragon Avatar. On seeing enormous dragon wings stretching out from behind Liu Erlong, it knew it couldn't run even if it tried to, only fighting with its full strength did it have a chance to escape.
Suddenly, red light burst forth from the entire body of Giant Earth King. With its body as the center, the air several tens of meters around it completely distorted, the ground below its body instantly cracked. Using its two front claws to forcefully smash the ground, the distorted air instantly produced an intense shockwave.
Even Liu Erlong who used Scarlet Dragon True Body couldn't help but delay faced with this shockwave. And at this moment, along with a booming sound from the cracked ground below the Giant Earth King's, a crimson pillar of fire soaring up.
This fire pillar was two meters in diameter, coincidentally covering the center of that distorted air. Right now Liu Erlong's body instantly stiffened in midair.
Tang San had heard Grandmaster explain this skill in detail before, this Giant Earth King's innate skill was also its strongest ability. Along with its cultivation it would keep getting stronger, called Magma Earth Rending Strike. What was most scary about it wasn't its strong attack power, but that distorted radiance covering a semicircle shape before its attack was released.
The air in the radius of that distorted radiance could make enemies experience dizziness. The duration of dizziness was based on the distance between the Giant Earth King itself and its opponent. If the opponent's could withstand it, then in the next moment what sprayed out, was a fire pillar that was as hot as magma which would fatally hit the opponent.
Right now, the distance between Tang San and the others and the battlefield was very large. Even if this was right in front of them, they still didn't have any effective method to block this attack by the Giant Earth King. That time Grandmaster taught Tang San, the way to handle this type of spirit beast, was to never ever keep close to the Giant Earth King's body. Only distancing over twenty meters from it, would there be no need to fear this terrifying technique of it. As for a ten thousand grade Giant Earth King, this distance would increase to fifty meters.
The furious Liu Erlong naturally didn't have this kind of battle plan, watching the fire pillar violently knock into the chest of the enormous dragon body.
At this moment, Flender and Grandmaster had also walked out from the tent. Of course, Grandmaster has an ugly facial expression, while Flender wore a face of innocence.
They naturally also saw the appearance of Magma Earth Rending Strike. Grandmaster only furrowed his brows, while Flender's hands formed the shape of a prayer, muttering a sentence,
"Pitiful Giant Earth King."
Yes, the Giant Earth King was indeed pitiful. In the next moment Liu Erlong responded.
When that enormous fire pillar rushed and hit her, a bizarre scene occurred. The slowed down body of Liu Erlong in midair didn't get knocked away by the fire pillar, but rather she was immersed within it. The enormous fire pillar that is like magma instantly spread over her entire body, under the heat of the flames, the crimson scales on her body dazzled like cut rubies.
The body of the Giant Earth King was gigantic, but its eyes were extremely small. If right now anyone here was able to discern the expression in its eyes, then he or she would definitely see a panicked expression.
In the next moment, Liu Erlong's body descended from the sky. Without any fancifulness, nor using any abilities, she only furled the two wings on her back. Just like that she descended from the sky. Her hind dragon claw heavily stomped on the back of Giant Earth King with a booming sound, causing more than half of the King of the Desert's body to sink below the ground.
The Giant Earth King let out a sharp, tragic howl, its two front claws swiftly brandishing about, but it couldn't even make contact with Liu Erlong.
Was the body of the Scarlet Dragon True Body released by Liu Erlong really that colossal? Was its weight really that terrifying? Just with that descent and directly stamping onto the body of Giant Earth King, although it didn't immediately crush it to death, it wasn't too far off.
"Too violent."
Right now Dai Mubai couldn't pay attention to placating Zhu Zhuqing, totally shocked by Liu Erlong's actions.
Ma Hongjun's eyes shined,
"I have decided, from now on Teacher Erlong will be the target of my worship. Don't tell me this is the rumored aesthetics of violence?"
The Giant Earth King struggled violently under Liu Erlong's body, but no matter what how hard it tried it couldn't break free from that terrifying dragon claw. If this Giant Earth King were to possess human intelligence, then he would quickly come to regret not getting instantly crushed to death by Liu Erlong's legs.
