Li Beifei flew in the sky above the Desert Sea. All around him was nothing but yellow sand. Except for the color of the sky, everything that met his eyes was yellowish-brown.
"How could such a monotonous place grow something as magical as the Other Shore Flower?"
Li Beifei wondered inwardly, but he didn't dwell on it too much. The Azure Star was just the first level of his Ancient Starry Road, and the entrance to the second level was deep within the Desert Sea. Clearly, passing through the Desert Sea was the trial of the first level.
"Boom!"
Just then, three long, enormous whips suddenly shot out from a sand dune ahead, smashing towards Li Beifei in the sky.
The sudden change didn't alarm Li Beifei. He gently waved his right hand, and a sword qi slashed at the incoming whips, instantly severing all three.
"Roar!"
A furious roar echoed, followed by rolling yellow sand and dust filling the sky. Then, a giant scorpion beast leaped out of the sand, roaring at Li Beifei in the sky. The three tails that Li Beifei had just cut off were on its back.
Three-Tailed Scorpion!
Li Beifei recognized the origin of this fierce beast, but he didn't take it seriously at all. It didn't even have the strength of the Nirvana Realm, yet it dared to sneak attack him.
"A beast is just a beast, with no brains at all." Li Beifei complained, and a sword qi fell, cutting the giant Three-Tailed Scorpion in half.
The roar stopped abruptly.
"Huh?" Li Beifei was stunned. He saw a not-completely-rotted corpse fall out of the Three-Tailed Scorpion's belly, covered in the scorpion's thick gastric juices.
Li Beifei's expression turned ugly. Although the corpse was badly decayed, he could still tell that it was a human, possibly even someone from the same Starship as him.
"It actually ate people!"
Li Beifei's face was cold, and then he released a surging sword intent. "Bang," "Bang," "Bang," hundreds of invisible sword qis plunged into the yellow sand, constantly making "噗嗤" "噗嗤" sounds of cutting flesh.
"Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!"……
Miserable roars echoed from within the yellow sand. The powerful shockwaves stirred up vast clouds of dust, dyeing half the sky yellow.
Scorpions are social animals, and the same is true for Three-Tailed Scorpions. Their clans are spread over hundreds of miles, but now, Li Beifei was emitting a cold sword intent, using the sword intent to activate the Traceless Sword Technique. Hundreds of invisible and colorless sword qis were killing towards their respective targets.
For the Three-Tailed Scorpions, whose strongest members were only at the third level of the Nirvana Realm, Li Beifei's Traceless Sword Qi was a one-sided massacre.
Soon, the yellow within hundreds of miles was dyed with a thick bloody color, and a strong, pungent smell of blood filled the air, drifting far, far away with the wind.
In the Gu family of Heavenly Wasteland Star, Gu Changsheng was originally enjoying the tea poured for him by his great-granddaughter Gu Qingcheng, when he suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Grandpa, what's wrong? Is the tea Qingcheng brewed not good?" Gu Qingcheng asked.
Gu Changsheng shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's not your fault. The tea you brew is many times better than your father's."
Gu Youxian, who was beside him, looked at Gu Changsheng with a helpless expression. Grandpa, although I'm very happy that you praised my daughter so much, can you not use me as a comparison?
But Gu Qingcheng glanced at Gu Youxian triumphantly. Gu Youxian used to be very strict with her and her brother, otherwise, they wouldn't have cultivated to the Quasi-Emperor Realm so quickly. But now that she has Grandpa backing her up, let's see if you still dare to be so strict.
Gu Changsheng ignored their father and daughter's "scheming" and focused his attention on Li Beifei, who was far away on the Azure Star.
"This kid, when did he develop this kind of mind?"
Gu Changsheng thought to himself, Li Beifei would destroy a clan of Three-Tailed Scorpions because of a dead human, which Gu Changsheng did not expect.
"It seems this kid has changed a lot!"
Gu Changsheng sighed. He didn't need to know what prompted Li Beifei to change, but in his opinion, this change was very pleasing to the eye.
Li Beifei didn't know that his venting-like slaughter of the Three-Tailed Scorpions had actually earned Gu Changsheng's praise. If he knew, his first reaction would definitely be disbelief, and then his butt would probably be up in the sky.
After killing all the Three-Tailed Scorpions in this area, Li Beifei continued to move deeper. Less than a quarter of an hour after Li Beifei left, a small Dharma Boat came flying by. When they passed through the Three-Tailed Scorpion's area, they smelled a strange smell.
"What's that smell?"
The leader frowned. His name was Li Qiming, and he was Fang Rui's boss. His cultivation had reached the third level of the Transcendent Realm, and he was a famous strongman in the Desert Sea area. When he heard from Fang Rui that Li Beifei had Supreme Source Crystals on him, he set off with several of his men to intercept Li Beifei.
On the Dharma Boat, besides him, there was also a cultivator at the first level of the Transcendent Realm, named Li Qifeng, who was his younger brother. In addition, there were three strongmen at the eighth level of the Nirvana Realm, a total of five people. As for Fang Rui, he was not qualified to come along at all.
"Brother, it's the smell of blood." Li Qifeng said, "Look, there are bloodstains below."
Li Qifeng pointed to the yellow sand below. In the desert, bloodstains are easily buried by the yellow sand, but Li Beifei killed hundreds of Three-Tailed Scorpions. In other places, it would be a phenomenon of rivers of blood, but only in the environment of the Desert Sea would it seem less cruel and bloody. However, despite this, the bloodstains were not completely covered by the yellow sand and were still discovered by Li Qifeng.
Looking at the large pools of bloodstains, Li Qiming frowned slightly and said, "I remember that this is the Three-Tailed Scorpion's activity area. Whenever someone passes by, whether strong or weak, they will launch an attack. We have stayed here for so long, but not a single Three-Tailed Scorpion has appeared. It seems that they have all been wiped out."
"It seems so." Li Qifeng nodded, but neither of the brothers felt any shock about this. Killing a group of Three-Tailed Scorpions was something any one of the five of them could do, but it would just take some time.
"It seems that the person Fang Rui mentioned is ahead. Chase!"
Li Qiming gave an order and drove the Dharma Boat towards the direction Li Beifei was heading. Just as the Dharma Boat disappeared into the sky, four graceful figures also rushed over from the direction they came from.
"Eh, did a great battle happen here?" The eldest sister, Tian Yuanyuan, noticed the bloodstains on the yellow sand and smelled the strong smell of blood.
But the youngest sister, Tian Xiaoxiao, said at this time, "Eldest sister, never mind that, we are already behind that Dharma Boat. If we are any later, the Other Shore Flower will be gone."
At this time, Tian Xiaoxiao was holding a strange compass in her hand, with a pointer on the compass. The direction of the pointer was the direction Li Beifei was heading.
"Then let's go!"
Tian Yuanyuan said, and the four sisters used their escape techniques to move forward quickly.
At this time, Li Beifei did not know that there were two groups of people coming towards him from behind.
