Chapter 692 Victory Is in Sight

But even so, Qingyang's performance surprised others. Xiao Yuhan was fine, as she had seen the power of Qingyang's sword formation long ago. Xiying and Xiping beside him were amazed.

The combat power displayed by Qingyang has greatly surpassed Xiping, and it seems that it is not much worse than Xiying. You know, more than 20 years ago, when they were already Qi-refining and foundation-building cultivators, Qingyang had not yet cultivated immortality. It has only been a few years, and his cultivation and strength have caught up with them. They dare not think about what will happen in the future, because it is too terrible.

Let's not talk about what others think for the time being. Qingyang tried his best to suppress his strength, and the results of the battle were still good. After only half an hour, there were only three left of the ten red-tailed sea scorpions in front of him, two of which were fourth-level and one of third-level. Among these three red-tailed sea scorpions, two were incompletely injured. If Qingyang had not deliberately concealed his weakness, he would have solved them all long ago.

The reason for such a good result is that in addition to Qingyang's increased strength, he also has a top-grade defensive spiritual weapon, the Snake Spirit Armor. The top-grade spiritual weapon has amazing defensive power. It is difficult for monsters below the fourth level to break through the defense. As long as the vital points are protected, the red-tailed sea scorpion cannot hurt him.

Qingyang had no scars on his body except that his clothes were caught by the tail hooks and claws of the red-tailed sea scorpion, which broke a few holes. The three red-tailed sea scorpions were also timid. It was obvious that they were afraid of Qingyang. If it were not for the shock of the high-level monsters, they would have turned around and fled.

At this time, the battle had reached a white-hot level. After half an hour of fighting, both sides suffered heavy casualties. The number of monsters was reduced by more than half. There were originally thousands of red-tailed sea scorpions, but now there are only a little over 400 left, and more than 600 were killed and injured.

The number of level 6 red-tailed sea scorpions did not decrease, but one of them was injured and its strength was greatly reduced. The loss of level 5 was not much, but the rest were injured. The number of level 4 was only half of the original. As for level 1, 2 and 3, two-thirds were killed and fed to fish.

If other monsters had suffered such casualties, they might have collapsed. The fact that the red-tailed sea scorpion could hold on until now also verified Xiying's previous words that the red-tailed sea scorpion has a sinister temperament. Once provoked, it will be a situation of life and death, and it will not retreat easily.

The situation on the cultivator side is slightly better. Among the more than 100 foundation-building cultivators, about a dozen died. They were all killed by the claws of the red-tailed sea scorpion because they were not careful when dealing with it, or they were poisoned by the tail hook of the red-tailed sea scorpion and died, accounting for 10% of the number of cultivators.

As for the injured, there were more people, with more than 100 people being slightly or seriously injured, accounting for 60% to 70% of the total. At this time in the battle, there were less than 40 people who were still intact like Qingyang.

In other words, they knew that in this vast ocean, only by gathering together could they ensure safety, and only by following the spirit ship of Wantong Pavilion could they successfully reach Zhongsha Region. Otherwise, this temporary team would have dispersed long ago.

Qian, the head of Wantong Pavilion, used a flat mountain shovel to force back the sixth-level red-tailed sea scorpion again, then took a look at the battlefield and shouted loudly: "The number of monsters is less than 50% of the original number. Everyone should work harder. The red-tailed sea scorpions are not afraid of trouble. We can hold on for at most a quarter of an hour, and the monsters will retreat. By then, we will be completely safe."

There were also monks who were fighting with blood boiling. The monks echoed: "Qian is right. Killing all the monsters can not only ensure safety, but also earn spiritual stones. It's killing two birds with one stone."

"Yes, use all the skills you have in your heart. Don't miss the good opportunity."

Yes, killing these monsters in front of us will not only bring safety, but also so many monster materials are worth a lot of money, especially the tail hook and double claws of the red-tailed sea scorpion, which are good materials for refining. Even if so many people share it, each person can earn 200 spiritual stones. If nothing else, at least half of the boat ticket can be earned back, making everyone's pockets a little loose.

With the encouragement of these people, the morale of the monks suddenly became strong. They used their own skills and launched a new round of attacks on the monsters. The red-tailed sea scorpions on the opposite side were immediately under great pressure. In just a quarter of an hour, hundreds of them were killed, and most of them were the backbone of the third, fourth and fifth levels, even including the injured sixth-level red-tailed sea scorpion.

At this time, the number of red-tailed sea scorpions was only over 300, and there were only three sixth-level ones left. The fifth and fourth levels were less than half of the original, and the first, second and third levels were even less than one-third of the original. It can be said that they were seriously injured. Even if they turned around and fled now, the entire red-tailed sea scorpion group would be seriously injured. It would take at least a hundred years to restore the original strength and scale.

No matter how vicious the red-tailed sea scorpions were, and they were in a situation of life and death with these people, they had to consider the future of the entire group at this time. The eyes of the largest red-tailed sea scorpion flickered, and it seemed that it had considered other things, and its offensive was weakened.

The peak sixth-order monsters are actually on the verge of spiritual tribulation. Although their intelligence is far inferior to that of the golden elixir monsters, they are able to weigh the pros and cons. Coupled with their natural instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm, they have the idea of ​​retreating when faced with difficulties.

Of course, the situation on the cultivators' side is not optimistic. During this period, more than a dozen cultivators were killed or injured, and the rest were almost all injured. However, they all knew that everyone was on the same boat, so no one retreated and they still gritted their teeth and persisted.

Seeing that the red-tailed sea scorpion had already begun to retreat, Master Qian was overjoyed and shouted: "Hahaha... The monsters are scared, victory is in sight, everyone try hard and try to keep a few more."

A cultivator echoed, "Yes, everyone should not hide their weaknesses. Let these monsters learn a profound lesson and let these beasts know that we are not easy to mess with. They can come and go as they please. How can it be so easy in the world?"

Another cultivator also shouted, "I have killed two fourth-level monsters and one third-level monster. As long as I kill another fourth-level monster, I will earn back the money for this boat ticket."

The words of these people were very encouraging. Many cultivators who originally planned to preserve their strength felt that it would be unfair to their strength if they did not fight. They launched a crazy attack on the monsters. Qingyang also raised his sword and killed the last two red-tailed sea scorpions in front of him on the spot.

The sixth-order red-tailed sea scorpion seemed to feel the tremendous pressure and was forced to take several steps back by Master Qian. The other red-tailed sea scorpions were also overwhelmed. Seeing that the entire team was about to collapse, the leading sixth-order red-tailed sea scorpion suddenly lay on the sea, staring coldly at Master Qian opposite him with his belly heaving and letting out a soft scream.
