Chapter 614: Chapter 615: Suck the Toxin Out (12th update, 3 more updates later in one go!) Chapter 614: Chapter 615: Suck the Toxin Out (12th update, 3 more updates later in one go!) The body of the Dragon Scorpion was drawn out from the dust by Sun Wukong and landed in his palm.
Under the bombardment of the Heaven-Breaking Nine Sticks, the Dragon Scorpion was on its last breath. Cracks spread across its body like a spider web. The destructive power of the Heaven-Breaking Nine Sticks was not something this Dragon Scorpion’s body could withstand, and it was impressive that it hadn’t been shattered completely.
“What a strange creature. It hardly has any Divine Consciousness, yet its Cultivation is so high, and both its Attack Power and defensive power are formidable. Could it be because it lives within the Chaos Vortex?”
Sun Wukong grasped the scorpion tail of the Dragon Scorpion, holding it up and observing its dying state, his eyes slightly squinted.
While he was contemplating, the Dragon Scorpion, which seemed to be only gasping without exhaling, suddenly moved. Its long scorpion tail twisted suddenly and stabbed into the back of Sun Wukong’s hand. Even his Chaos Battle Body couldn’t withstand the sting of the tail and was deeply pierced, making him cry out in pain and release his grip.
The Dragon Scorpion fell to the ground, and its two front claws quickly burrowed, attempting to dig into the earth.
“Damn it, where do you think you’re going?”
Sun Wukong was furious. This beast had played dead and ambushed him and now it was trying to run away. Did it think such things came cheap?
“Heaven-Breaking Domain!”
With a low shout, the Heaven-Breaking Domain was unleashed, enveloping the Dragon Scorpion. Suddenly, an immense force pressed down from all sides, firmly suppressing the Dragon Scorpion.
Already gravely injured by the Heaven-Breaking Nine Rods, the Dragon Scorpion, having feigned death for a sneak attack, barely had any strength left to withstand the suppression of Sun Wukong’s furious Heaven-Breaking Domain and was rendered completely immobile.
“You bastard, how dare you deceive me, old Sun!”
The left hand of Sun Wukong, where he had been stung, from the back of the hand to the entire arm, was numbed. The toxin that the Dragon Scorpion had injected into his body was rapidly spreading within him. Had it not been for Sun Wukong counteracting it with all his might using the Chaos Primordial Force, it would have likely spread throughout his body by now!
The small eyes of the Dragon Scorpion whirled chaotically, squeezed by the Heaven-Breaking Domain. Now, only its eyes could move, which seemed like a protest or perhaps a plea for mercy.
“Can you speak? Or can you communicate through Divine Sense?”
Sun Wukong said this as he likewise transmitted his Divine Sense towards the Dragon Scorpion.
“Spare me! Spare me~!”
Clearly, the Dragon Scorpion couldn’t talk, but it did have Divine Sense to communicate back, begging Sun Wukong for mercy.
“Spare you? You ambushed me, just now you played dead and deceived me again, and you expect me to spare you?”
Sun Wukong glared, continuing to exert his full strength to dissolve the toxin that had invaded his body but found it to be minimally effective. The toxin seemed to be some kind of energy that even the Chaos Primordial Force couldn’t assimilate or absorb.
“You invaded my territory, I was merely defending myself.”
The Divine Sense communicated once again, “You’re powerful. I surrender. Just spare me, and I’ll do anything you ask!”
Sun Wukong became interested. Such a bizarre tunneling scorpion had no small lethality; even he had been caught off guard by it. The venom in its tail was so difficult to remove, wouldn’t others be reduced to dust instantly like that large tree if stung?
Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes, “If you want old Sun to spare you, first, remove the poison from my body!”
“What if I cure your poison and you still kill me?”
Though the tunneling scorpion seemed of low Spiritual Wisdom, it suddenly appeared quite astute. Sun Wukong laughed, finding the creature not so foolish after all!
“Even if you do not cure the poison, old Sun can still neutralize it with some effort. Do you really think your venom poses a great threat to me?”
Amused, Sun Wukong’s face remained stern, his eyes fierce, “Old Sun is asking you one more time, will you cure the poison or not?”
“I will cure it! Isn’t that good enough?”
The tunneling scorpion cowered. Sun Wukong’s murderous aura was no joke, and if it didn’t cure the poison, it might be annihilated by Sun Wukong the next moment!
Having cultivated to the Half-Step Saint Realm within the Chaos Vortex, the tunneling scorpion had suffered much. It wasn’t willing to be annihilated so senselessly.
“Can you release the restraint on my tail? I can’t cure the poison !”
The tunneling scorpion pleaded, causing Sun Wukong to frown slightly and ease the suppression of the Heaven-Breaking Domain a bit. This allowed the tunneling scorpion to breathe a sigh of relief and regain some mobility, extending its tail toward the arm Sun Wukong had been stung on.
Sun Wukong’s eyelid twitched as he shouted fiercely, “Scoundrel, what are you trying to do?”
“Nothing, just trying to suck out the poison for you…”
The tunneling scorpion flinched; its tail quivering. The venom was injected into Sun Wukong by it, so naturally, its tail was required to suck it back out. What kind of fierce creature was this that didn’t even know this?
“You need to use that tail of yours to extract the poison?”
Sun Wukong squinted his eyes warily at the scorpion’s tail, feeling somewhat uneasy. It was his first time feeling completely defenseless against an enemy’s attack. The tunneling scorpion’s tail was indeed formidable!
“What else? Only my tail can extract the Dragon Scorpion’s poison!”
The tunneling scorpion’s response was somewhat baffled. Every creature in the Chaos Vortex knew that to cure the poison from a Dragon Scorpion sting, one must use its tail to extract the venom. Otherwise, one could only try to expel the venom bit by bit using their own strength, though hardly any creature in the Chaos Vortex had the ability to do so, and most were directly corroded by the venom.
“Dragon Scorpion? So that’s your name!”
Sun Wukong’s caution slightly diminished, yet he still concentrated Chaos Primordial Force in his arm. In case the Dragon Scorpion tried anything, he would rather lose this arm than not immediately kill the creature!
With his Chaos Battle Body’s healing capabilities, losing some energy would allow a new arm to grow back quickly. However, the newly grown arm would not compare to the original arm for some time, requiring quite a while to restore and strengthen. It was better not to lose an arm if it could be helped.
“You better not play any tricks, or old Sun will show you no mercy!”
After a fierce threat to the tunneling scorpion, no, the Dragon Scorpion, Sun Wukong’s eyes shone with a golden light. His Void-Breaking Starry Eyes fixed steadfastly on the Dragon Scorpion’s tail as it pierced back into his already healing arm.
