"Hiss!"
The Crystal Spined Scorpion crawled forward, hissing as it pulled back its scorpion tail, which was tipped with a deadly venomous barb—"Swish!"
The tail streaked through the air like a flash of silver light.
"Puchi!"
The terrifying, cold-glinting scorpion hook pierced precisely into the chest of Fang Yi. In an instant, horrific toxins began to spread through his blood vessels, destroying cells and disrupting his nerves.
Seeing its attack land, the Crystal Spined Scorpion flicked its tail in a display of joy born from primal instinct.
Yet, it failed to notice the dark space within its blind spot.
One by one, tightly closed eyes emerged in silence.
Suddenly.
An indescribable sensation of pain and burning spread throughout the entire body of the Crystal Spined Scorpion!
"Hiss—!"
The Crystal Spined Scorpion rolled its scarlet eyes, scanning every part of its body within its field of vision.
It found no damage, nor any trace of an enemy attack.
Driven by instinct.
The Crystal Spined Scorpion rotated its slender, sharp limbs, yet it could not find the source of this pain. It wasn't until it glanced at its surroundings that it realized it was surrounded by a multitude of closed eyes that had appeared out of nowhere.
In an instant—
Its primal, beastly instincts were screaming that these eye sockets were incredibly dangerous!
A unique sense of dread welled up from within, as if it had encountered a threat far more terrifying than any natural predator!
"Da-da-da—!"
"Hiss—!"
The Crystal Spined Scorpion thrashed its limbs frantically, emitting warning hisses. Its venomous tail whipped around, wildly attacking the illusory eye sockets hidden in the dark space.
But every strike yielded no feedback of impact.
It was as if it were hitting thin air.
All its movements and all its resistance seemed to be in vain.
Overcome by fear, it watched as one eye socket suddenly snapped open, revealing cold pupils within.
The remaining closed eyes began to awaken one after another.
One, two, three... countless Double Pupil Eyes opened.
Within the sockets were eyes radiating a blue-purple light, now looking down from above, constantly scanning, prying, and intimidating the Crystal Spined Scorpion in the center.
"Hiss—!"
The hiss of the Crystal Spined Scorpion now carried a note of terror. Its beastly pupils darted around, guarding desperately against the eyes awakening all around it.
In less than a heartbeat.
Countless Double Pupil Eyes snapped wide open.
The burning sensation on the Crystal Spined Scorpion's body intensified, and only then did it understand the source of the agony.
Reality.
Of the two Crystal Spined Scorpions attempting to close in, one had stopped in its tracks for no apparent reason.
The other, its tail now snapped off, could only wave its Twin Pincers, yet it still failed to strike Fang Yi.
"Puchi!"
Fang Yi exerted force with his five fingers, successfully dodging the opponent's attack while grabbing the concave part of the Crystal Spined Scorpion's abdomen and slamming it violently against a concrete pillar in the underground parking garage.
"Bang!"
The Crystal Spined Scorpion tumbled down, and the circular concrete pillar, shaken by the impact, cracked into several pieces of rubble that rained down upon its body.
Fang Yi shot forward, appearing before the shocked and terrified pupils of the Crystal Spined Scorpion.
He stomped down fiercely!
This kick concentrated the strength of his entire body, utilizing the technique of the traditional martial art known as Tremor Stomp.
It was incredibly brutal.
Although the outer shell of the Crystal Spined Scorpion was sturdy, it could hardly resist such an attack.
Not to mention that Fang Yi had already struck its shell several times, leaving it fragile and worn.
"Bang!"
With an expressionless face, Fang Yi crushed its head with a single stomp, causing its internal blood and organs to spray out instantly along the cracks and gaps.
And in the distance.
The female martial artist who was supporting her two teammates watched such violent and bloody methods, already at a loss for words.
Everything this youth before her had displayed was far too shocking.
He had dealt with one Crystal Spined Scorpion without any effort, while the other scorpion had not moved in the slightest. Yet, that strange, frozen posture clearly indicated it had been affected by something.
And at this moment.
The final, third Crystal Spined Scorpion had already had its skull crushed and dealt with by him with ease.
The entire battle process had only lasted about a minute.
The two injured male martial artists being supported also looked at the scene before them as if they were staring at a monster.
They were both in their thirties now and had hunted quite a few monsters. But they admitted they could never be as precise and decisive in their strikes as he was.
It was as if he could see through every attack these monsters made and react instantaneously.
Low-level monsters.
They could still deal with them by relying on dynamic vision, instinctive reactions, and agile footwork.
But if they were of the same level or even higher, they didn't have many options.
"So young, yet his strikes are so ruthless..."
"He is simply a natural-born martial artist."
The two male martial artists spoke at the same time.
The female martial artist swallowed hard and nodded in agreement.
Just then, movement suddenly came from above. The three of them looked up toward the cave entrance, only to see several figures appear in an instant.
"Are you all okay?"
"We received an emergency rescue notification and rushed over."
"Wait, these four don't seem to be from the Limit Dojo?"
These men, dressed in combat gear and wielding weapons, frowned slightly. Only after they jumped down from the cave entrance into the parking lot did they notice Fang Yi in the distance.
The moment they saw Fang Yi, they also noticed a Crystal Spined Scorpion not far from his side.
"Watch out, behind you...!"
"It's fine." The moment the martial artist gave the warning, he heard Fang Yi's calm response.
The next moment.
Right in front of everyone, Fang Yi walked up to the motionless Crystal Spined Scorpion.
A punch from above directly pierced through its skull.
The moment the previous two Crystal Spined Scorpions had arrived to provide support.
Fang Yi had manifested the Double Pupil in his left eye. He had used the Double Pupil Illusion to confuse the opponent, pulling it into an illusory space composed of countless Double Pupil Eyes.
The mental attack from the Double Pupil Eyes was incredibly vicious, far beyond the reach of ordinary mental attacks.
At this moment.
It was likely still suffering through torture within the illusion.
The Double Pupil Illusion is indeed useful... It's just that the level of awakening isn't high yet, so its power is limited, but it will only grow stronger in the future.
Fang Yi thought to himself.
At the same time, he pulled his fist out of its body and shook off the viscous blood.
"Take those two wounded out of here; I still need to process these three Crystal Spined Scorpions."
Fang Yi waved his hand.
When he fought the first Crystal Spined Scorpion, he had triggered the emergency rescue signal on his wrist device.
Since Fang Yi was from the Limit Dojo, those who received the signal and arrived first to provide support were naturally martial artists from the same dojo.
That was why, when the group arrived.
They were confused when they looked at the female martial artist's team.
Fang Yi took tools out of his backpack and began to dismantle and collect the valuable parts from the spined scorpions.
The Limit Dojo martial artists who had come to provide support only reacted after hearing this.
"You are... Fang Yi!"
As this martial artist spoke, the others also realized that Fang Yi looked very familiar, immediately recalling the rumors circulating within the Limit Dojo about Fang Yi punching out 2000kg during his quasi-martial artist period.
Coupled with his terrifying performance during the martial artist assessment.
He was already a celebrity in the Limit Dojo.
Afterward.
The group didn't say much more; after all, there were wounded people nearby, so they immediately helped them leave the cave to head to the military district for treatment.
Before leaving, the female martial artist looked back at Fang Yi, who was currently dissecting a Crystal Spined Scorpion.
Deep in her mind, she etched Fang Yi's appearance and name.
Not long after.
Fang Yi finished dismantling the last scorpion tail and folded it into his backpack.
There were many valuable parts on a Crystal Spined Scorpion; the tail, the Twin Pincers, the massive Crystal Shell, and the Poison Sac were all worth a fortune.
