"Hiss!" "Clang!"
The Crystal Spined Scorpion's enormous, transparent crystal pincers snapped shut on empty air. The sharp crack echoed through the spacious underground parking garage.
By the time it realized what had happened, Fang Yi had already moved behind it.
Whoosh!
Though the Crystal Spined Scorpion couldn't see Fang Yi, it still whipped its long, thick, venomous tail around.
It swept in a full circle, trying to force Fang Yi back.
But thanks to the analysis of Fang Yi's Double Pupil Eyes, he had anticipated the scorpion's sweeping tail and had already bent backward, successfully dodging its follow-up strike.
The gap between the man and the tail was less than half a millimeter!
The female Martial Artist hurriedly helped the two injured teammates to their feet.
She also checked their injuries.
"Are you all right? How are you feeling?" Her concerned voice trembled uncontrollably.
Seeing her teammates' torn combat suits and mouths full of blood made her heart clench, as though it had stopped beating for a moment.
"I'm not going to die just yet, but I can't run either... Captain, get out of here. At least one of us can still make it out alive."
The man's gaunt, pale face managed to form a weak smile.
"Cough, cough... Captain, go. We can't walk anymore."
The other male Martial Artist coughed violently, blood continuously spilling from his mouth. His injuries were worse than the other man's.
Neither of them was quite at death's door yet.
But their injuries had already left them unable to move. They needed immediate rescue to survive, and they wouldn't get far trying to walk in their condition.
The woman's pupils trembled.
She seemed to be struggling with a difficult decision. Her teammates were right: if she didn't leave soon, she might not get out at all.
The female Martial Artist clenched her teeth. "No! How can I just leave you behind? If our communication wristbands hadn't been damaged during the fight, we could have sent an emergency rescue signal..."
Before she could finish, the sharp sounds of combat rang out again. She hurriedly looked toward Fang Yi, not far away.
One glance was all it took.
The female Martial Artist saw every precise dodge Fang Yi made.
An expression of disbelief appeared in her eyes.
"That's... That's Micro-level Movement Technique!"
She knew about Micro-level Movement Technique and had practiced it many times, but she had never grasped its essentials.
She had even thought she might never reach that level in her entire life.
And yet—
Today, she had seen such an astonishing, ghostlike technique in a young man. Her entire worldview had been turned upside down.
"How is that possible? How could someone his age reach that level?"
Just as she was wondering, the sound of rapid crawling echoed through the empty underground parking garage.
The woman snapped back to her senses, terror once again appearing on her face. She hurriedly looked toward Fang Yi, who was fighting the Crystal Scorpion in the distance, and shouted hoarsely:
"Watch out! Two more Crystal Long-tailed Scorpions at Junior War General Level are coming! Get out of there! Stop fighting!"
"I'll cover you. At your current speed, you can get my teammates out of here!"
After watching him for a short while,
the female Martial Artist was certain that if Fang Yi ran at full speed, he could carry her two injured teammates to safety.
She could stay behind to hold the scorpions off for a minute or two.
That would be enough time to get out of the building.
With his back to the female Martial Artist, Fang Yi heard her words. His Double Pupil Eyes immediately analyzed the surroundings, piercing through the darkness in an instant.
In the distance,
two Crystal Spined Scorpions at Junior War General Level were rushing toward them.
They also bore signs of having fought.
Clearly, this squad had fought the other two Crystal Scorpions too. Seeing this, Fang Yi understood why one of them had died and two had been injured.
"This new nest has three Beast-General Rank monsters..." Fang Yi slowly raised his head and gazed into the distance, excitement appearing on his face. "This trip was worth it!"
His excited words
rang clearly through the underground parking garage.
The female Martial Artist stiffened when she heard him, as if she thought she'd misheard. She leaned forward slightly, staring at Fang Yi's back in utter confusion.
What was he talking about?
Those were three Beast-General Rank Crystal Spined Scorpions!
If there had only been one, the female Martial Artist would have believed Fang Yi could handle it. But now he was facing three—Crystal Spined Scorpions renowned for their defenses and filled with terrifying venom!
Even a mid-level War General wasn't guaranteed to be able to fight them.
After all,
two fists couldn't fight four hands—and the enemy had far more than just four limbs. One careless moment, one sting, and without an immediate antidote, it was all over.
If their intelligence hadn't been wrong,
they never would have entered a nest containing three Beast-General Rank Crystal Scorpions.
They had carefully crept deeper into the nest, not daring to make the slightest sound. They had even been forced to cautiously avoid the Advanced Beast Soldier-level Crystal Spined Scorpions.
They had thought they were about to reach the heart of the nest and finish the job.
Instead, they had discovered three Beast-General Rank monsters. It was a nightmare they never wanted to see again...
"Hiss—!"
Fang Yi's face lit up with excitement. As the Crystal Scorpion tried to whip its tail at him again, he seized the weak joint in its tail.
He exerted force with both arms, one pushing up and the other down. In an instant, he snapped the vulnerable joint!
"Crack!"
"Hiss—!"
The Crystal Scorpion opened its mouth wide and let out a pained wail.
Even with the nerves in its tail severed, it still had its terrifying pincers. Their edges were razor-sharp; once they caught prey, they could slice off its head, arms, and legs!
Absolutely terrifying.
But Fang Yi wasn't about to give it a chance to hit him.
Under the analysis of his Double Pupil Eyes,
he saw every one of its movements with perfect clarity, as though he could predict its attacks in advance.
Combined with his Micro-level Movement Technique, he dodged with ease in the blink of an eye.
Fang Yi raised his right arm and brought it crashing down toward the crystal shell on the scorpion's head. Creation Divine Light surged from the Fist Armor on his fists and gathered above his elbows.
An elbow was different from a fist. It was harder,
and its smaller surface made it like a short, blunt spear—a uniquely powerful weapon built into the human body.
Traditional Baji Fist had a saying: Better to take ten punches than one elbow!
That showed how dangerous an elbow strike could be.
Fang Yi planted his feet, gathered all his strength at his waist, and channeled it through each vertebra into his arm. Using the sudden acceleration of the downward strike—"Bang!"—he drove his elbow forward like a spear, unleashing its force in an instant.
"Crack—!"
"Hiss!" The Crystal Spined Scorpion let out a pained wail. It could also clearly hear its own skull beginning to split, the sound carrying the despair of its impending doom.
The next moment,
Fang Yi's elbow plunged completely into its head. Blood and fragments of its organs sprayed out.
The Crystal Scorpion's eyes instantly went lifeless, then gradually dimmed.
"Hiss—!" "Hiss—!"
Inside the underground parking garage,
the other two Crystal Scorpions let out furious hisses.
Their crimson eyes blazed with rage.
Fang Yi slowly turned to face the enemies in the distance. His young, boyish face was covered in blood, and blue-violet light continued to shimmer in his Double Pupil Eyes.
