Ink Sun Grass

"Help!"

Inside the valley, the Azure Armored Demonic Scorpion thrashed about like a mad beast, its massive pincers launching fierce assaults against Cheng Xue.

This Azure Armored Demonic Scorpion had reached the fourth level of the Core Condensation Realm!

Under the Azure Armored Demonic Scorpion's near-frenzied onslaught, Cheng Xue was in constant peril, her life hanging by a thread.

Boom, boom, boom!

Cheng Xue dodged continuously as the Azure Armored Demonic Scorpion's giant pincers whistled past, crushing large boulders into dust.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng naturally couldn't stand idly by. Moreover, he had harbored some affection for Cheng Xue in the past. After all, as the most beautiful disciple in the outer sect, which disciple wouldn't be moved by her?

Swish!

Lu Changsheng circulated his spiritual energy and immediately shot forward. His figure was like a phantom, instantly appearing behind the Azure Armored Demonic Scorpion.

Without hesitation, Lu Changsheng unleashed a powerful punch, striking the scorpion's armor heavily.

Bang!

"What tough armor!"

To his surprise, not only did the punch fail to pierce the scorpion's armor, but it also sent a sharp pain through Lu Changsheng's fist.

The Azure Armored Demonic Scorpion's armor was truly as hard as metal!

Roar!

Struck from behind, the Azure Armored Demonic Scorpion was instantly enraged, redirecting its fury towards Lu Changsheng.

Swish, swish, swish!

At this moment, the Azure Armored Demonic Scorpion's rear stinger suddenly lunged fiercely towards Lu Changsheng!

"Junior disciple, be careful! Its stinger is highly venomous!"

Cheng Xue warned.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng's expression changed slightly. He immediately dodged swiftly, continuously evading the stinger's attacks.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The sharp stinger darted like lightning. Lu Changsheng dodged left and right, narrowly avoiding being impaled each time.

With a bang, just as Lu Changsheng dodged, a large rock behind him was struck by the stinger and then torn to shreds.

"Hmph!"

Lu Changsheng snorted coldly, then began to move his palms. The space around him rippled slightly.

"Raging Waves Palm!"

Boom!

Lu Changsheng clapped his hands, and instantly a powerful palm strike, stirring up a colossal wave of spiritual energy, surged towards the Azure Armored Demonic Scorpion!

Bang, bang, bang!

Roar!

This Raging Waves Palm strike, with its palm energy like continuous waves, slammed into the Azure Armored Demonic Scorpion, pushing it back. With a rumble, it smashed through a patch of trees.

Roar!

In pain, the Azure Armored Demonic Scorpion was now completely enraged. It quickly brandished its massive pincers, ferociously clamping down towards Lu Changsheng.

Bang, bang, bang!

The giant pincers crushed countless boulders into powder!

Lu Changsheng's expression changed drastically. If he were caught by those pincers, he would likely be turned into a pulp instantly.

"Wind Thunder Fist!"

Crackle, crackle!

Lu Changsheng clenched his fists, and streaks of silver lightning crackled and danced around them. He then shot forward, unleashing a punch towards the Azure Armored Demonic Scorpion.

At the same time, the Azure Armored Demonic Scorpion also brandished its pincers and slammed down!

"Bang!"

Fist met pincers, and two figures, one large and one small, were sent flying backward.

Lu Changsheng was knocked back, his back crashing into a large tree, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. The Azure Armored Demonic Scorpion was not faring much better; its pincers were nearly cracked, and the intense pain caused it to roar continuously.

At this moment, in its fury, the Azure Armored Demonic Scorpion launched another fierce attack. This time, its giant pincers and stinger simultaneously whistled towards Lu Changsheng.

"Soaring Dragon Steps!"

Lu Changsheng dared not be careless and immediately employed his movement martial arts. A faint dragon's roar emanated from beneath his feet, and his figure moved rapidly, as if golden dragon shadows flickered around him with each movement.

Swish, swish, swish!

Executing the Soaring Dragon Steps, Lu Changsheng's movements were as fast as lightning. He moved like a dragon shadow, effortlessly evading all the attacks.

"I didn't expect this Soaring Dragon Steps to be so exquisite. The Azure Armored Demonic Scorpion can't even touch my clothes!"

Lu Changsheng was secretly delighted.

Relying on the Soaring Dragon Steps, Lu Changsheng's speed was extremely swift, to the point where the Azure Armored Demonic Scorpion's attacks couldn't touch him at all. Every time, Lu Changsheng could easily dodge them.

"This Azure Armored Demonic Scorpion is covered in hard armor. Breaking through it won't be easy. I need to find its weakness."

While dodging the attacks, Lu Changsheng was thinking about how to completely kill the Azure Armored Demonic Scorpion.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng's gaze fell upon the Azure Armored Demonic Scorpion's head.

The demonic scorpion was covered in a shell all over, except for its head, making the head its fatal weak point!

Swish!

With that thought, Lu Changsheng once again used the Soaring Dragon Steps. His feet seemed to tread on a golden dragon's shadow as he swiftly moved to the front of the demonic scorpion's head.

"Wind Thunder Fist!"

Lu Changsheng said in a deep voice, then punched towards the demonic scorpion's head.

Bang!

This punch struck, directly blowing up the Azure Armored Demonic Scorpion's head!

Roar—

The Azure Armored Demonic Scorpion let out a pained roar, and then with a thunderous crash, its massive body fell to the ground. There was a fist-sized hole in its head, and emerald green blood continuously flowed out from the opening.

"Finally dealt with!"

Lu Changsheng felt relieved.

He lightly tapped his toes, then landed in front of Cheng Xue.

"Senior Sister, are you alright?"

Lu Changsheng asked with concern.

Cheng Xue's face was pale, clearly still shaken. However, when she saw that the Azure Armored Demonic Scorpion was dead, she looked at Lu Changsheng with shock.

"Junior Brother, you're amazing! You actually killed this demonic scorpion whose strength is comparable to a fourth-level Core Condensation Realm cultivator!"

Being praised by Cheng Xue like this, Lu Changsheng blushed a little.

"Junior Brother, I still don't know your name. I really owe you my life for saving me this time."

Cheng Xue said gratefully.

"Lu Changsheng."

Lu Changsheng replied truthfully.

Hum—

Just then, a sun-like beam of light shot out from the valley.

"That's..."

The two of them looked, and saw that at the deepest part of the valley, there was a large, blackish-brown rock. From this large rock, a sun-like light was continuously emitted.

The two of them rubbed their eyes, and only then did they clearly see that within the sun-like light was a dark ink-colored spiritual grass!

"Ink Sun Grass!"

Lu Changsheng blurted out.

"No wonder, as soon as I approached this valley area, I was attacked by this Azure Armored Demonic Scorpion. So there's such a spiritual medicine in this valley!"

Cheng Xue suddenly understood.

Spiritual medicines were generally divided into nine grades, and also had low, medium, and high tiers.

The Ink Sun Grass was an extremely rare Grade 1 high-tier medicinal material. For cultivators in the Core Condensation Realm, it was a rare treasure. If it could be refined, it could rapidly improve one's cultivation and strength!

"Let's go take a look!"

Lu Changsheng's eyes were filled with excitement, and he walked towards it with Cheng Xue. As they approached the Ink Sun Grass, both of them could clearly feel a scorching energy emanating from it.

"It really is Ink Sun Grass!"

Lu Changsheng was extremely excited.
