720. Crazy Self-Destruction
*Thud—Bang!*
A muffled, heart-stopping crack of bone breaking suddenly rang out, and the notorious demon scorpion in Zhongzhou also exploded.
The scorpion's panicked soul, which had just escaped from its shattered body, was about to flee when it suddenly saw several pale souls with bloodshot eyes and a fierce aura rushing towards it!
His soul also froze, and then the Soul Committee used one hand to control the human scorpion. Looking at the soul of this nine-star Dou Zun, the Soul Committee finally showed a satisfied look in its eyes: "In that case, this mission will finally have some extra reward."
Seeing his two brothers die one after another, Scorpion's resentment towards the Soul Palace reached its peak.
"Scum of the Soul Palace!!"
However, Venerable Black Intent was quite powerful, and he couldn't find a good opportunity for the time being. Now that the Soul Committee had dealt with the Human Scorpion, they were preparing to turn their attention to him. At this moment, the Soul Palace had a large number of people and two peak Dou Zun experts, and he was no match for them alone. He was thinking that he had no choice but to leave for the time being, otherwise the three Scorpion Demons would probably all perish today, and he would have to find an opportunity to take revenge later!
Without further hesitation, Scorpion pushed his speed to the limit and charged headlong towards the outer edge of the Cloud Rain Sect Valley.
The Black Intent Venerable's figure flickered, transforming into a twisted black line, and he pursued the Soul Committee almost simultaneously. Both the Soul Committee and the Black Intent Venerable knew the principle of eliminating the root of the problem.
Upon hearing the order, several Soul Palace Dou Zun members who were positioned a little further away, although unwilling to face a peak Dou Zun expert, dared not disobey. They immediately activated strands of dark chains, attempting to lock down Scorpion's retreat.
However, the explosive power of a peak Dou Zun fleeing for his life without any restraint is terrifying!
"Get out of my way! Anyone who blocks my way will die!" Scorpion roared and swung his palm, the powerful claw wind tearing through the void and shattering the chains in front of him. A Soul Hall Dou Zun who tried to block him was the first to be hit, and was so shocked that he spat out blood, staggered backward, and his Dou Qi aura dimmed by more than half in an instant.
The full power of a peak Dou Zun was unleashed at this moment. Scorpion did not linger in the fight. After slightly dispersing the Soul Palace members who were surrounding him, he wanted to leave directly.
He moved extremely fast, and in just a few breaths, he had already left the valley where the Cloud Rain Sect was located.
Although ordinary Soul Hall Dou Zun experts couldn't keep up with him, Soul Committee and Black Intent, both peak Dou Zun, naturally pursued relentlessly. Clearly, they both understood that now was the best time to hunt down Scorpion. Most importantly, they didn't know the location of the fragment of the Strange Flame Diagram. If Scorpion escaped with the fragment, their efforts today would likely have been in vain.
Scorpion, in his haste to escape, was horrified to discover that there was a cold and dark aura in front of him, and that aura was even stronger than him, at least at the half-saint level!
"My Soul Palace has laid a net that can't be set up. Where do you think you're going?" A very arrogant voice entered Scorpion's ears directly.
At that moment, Scorpio trembled violently!
Faced with this situation, Scorpio knew that there was no chance of escaping today, and his momentum came to an abrupt halt.
Ahead stood a Soul Hall Half-Saint powerhouse with overwhelming power, providing cover. Behind them were Soul Hall officials and Black Will, their eyes bloodshot with rage, ready to pounce. On the flanks, remnants of Soul Hall Dou Zun were also watching with predatory intent. Truly, there was no way out, no escape!
A dead end! A dead end with no chance of survival!
Scorpion froze in mid-air, turning his head with extreme slowness. His eyes were fixed on the rapidly approaching figure, whose aura was also locked on him, and his face revealed undisguised greed and darkness!
He saw the headless, exploded corpse of the human-scorpion fall into the valley, and he saw the mangled fragments of the earth scorpion's body after the black mist dissipated...
The hundreds of years they had spent together, the unbridled joy of causing trouble, the laughter and arguments they had shared while studying martial arts techniques—the past of the three brothers flashed wildly through his mind.
His strong will to survive was completely extinguished by the blockade of the Soul Palace half-saint powerhouse in front of him.
Even if he dies, he will drag these Soul Hall scum who drove his brothers to their deaths and forced him into a desperate situation down with him.
That overwhelming hatred instantly overwhelmed his last fear of death. When a peak Dou Zun is no longer afraid of death, then he is of course terrifying.
"Excellent! Very good! The Soul Palace is ruthless! Absolutely ruthless!"
His voice suddenly rose, turning into a sharp roar: "Then let's do it together!!!"
He then abruptly changed direction, heading directly towards the approaching Soul Committee and Black Will. He didn't employ any extraordinary techniques; instead, his body began to rapidly expand. A mutual destruction, a shared demise!
Scorpios accumulate power extremely quickly; within just two or three breaths, their bodies have already expanded to their limit.
"Oh no, he's going to self-destruct!" Hei Yi exclaimed in alarm.
"How could that be? It's fake, he's going to run away!" Soul Committee judged confidently, believing he had seen through this simple deception.
Seeing that Hunwei and Heiyi were still hesitant, Scorpion finally felt a surge of satisfaction. His body then reached its limit, and a strange smile appeared on his face!
boom--
A terrifying sphere of fighting spirit and soul power, centered on Scorpion's body, suddenly exploded without any buffer.
The power generated by the self-destruction of the soul and body of a peak Dou Zun is absolutely no less than the power of a strike from a Half-Saint.
The space itself was immediately overwhelmed, instantly becoming riddled with countless deep, spiderweb-like cracks. A terrifying shockwave spread wildly from the center, engulfing everything in its path; within the core of the energy explosion, all the mountains were flattened. Smoke and dust billowed hundreds of feet high, blotting out the sun.
Those from the Soul Palace who were at the very center of the explosion were the first to be hit and suffered the most devastating impact!
After the massive surge of battle qi ceased, the Soul Hall members gradually recovered. This earth-shattering self-destruction resulted in the immediate deaths of three of the six ordinary Dou Zun members, and two others suffering physical damage. Only the strongest, an eight-star Dou Zun, barely managed to withstand the explosion.
The two closest to him were also in a terrible state. Hun Wei's dense black aura protection was completely broken, his black robe was shattered, and he was spitting out large amounts of black blood. The Black Intent Venerable was in an equally terrible state; the eerie light covering his body was exploding inch by inch, and one of his arms, along with most of his shoulder, was blown off in the impact.
Just as the Soul Palace members were recovering from the impact of the Scorpion's self-destruction, a spinning, colorful fire lotus unexpectedly appeared beside them.
