All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

Just as the two were talking, Feng Ning suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

It was a subconscious reaction, a sense of tension that danger was already nearby.

Her sixth sense had never been wrong, and it had even saved her life.

She ran forward almost the instant she sensed the danger.

He immediately unleashed the Illusion Technique and rushed forward at an extremely fast speed.

The moment she left the spot, a giant scorpion crawled out from underground.

It was just a few seconds away.

If she hesitated for just two more seconds, she would have been stung by the scorpion's tail.

The sight of the jet-black scorpion sent chills down her spine.

The scorpion was entirely black, and its carapace, like cold iron, gleamed with a captivating light.

A long scorpion tail stood behind him, its target aimed directly at Feng Ning, its every move threatening.

Feng Ning stared at the nearly three-meter-long scorpion and its almost four-meter-long tail, so shocked that she couldn't utter a single word.

"Ye Yuan, you're such a jinx! You were right, this strange environment really does produce some strange things."

Even demonic beasts have never seen a scorpion grow this big!

Its scorpion tail, in particular, was dripping with green liquid, making it even more unsettling to look at.

Ye Yuan's voice was cold and clear, "It's just a third-tier little demon beast, can't you even handle it?"

Feng Ning was so angry she wanted to punch someone. "I'm just a newly entered Golden Core cultivator. How did you know I could handle this late-stage third-tier demon beast?"

"If you can't handle it, then you won't be able to get the Amazing Profound Heart."

Feng Ning was stunned. "Why?"

Couldn't she just pick it and run?

"Don't think about those unrealistic things." Ye Yuan seemed to see through her thoughts. "If I'm not mistaken, this third-tier scorpion should be the guardian beast of the Jinghong Xuanxin. If you can't deal with it, you won't be able to get the Jinghong Xuanxin. Even if you do get it, it will keep chasing you until you die or it dies."

Feng Ning's expression darkened. "Then it seems we need to resolve this."

She quickly summoned flying swords, this time taking out all nine of them.

This scorpion was stronger than a typical late-stage third-tier demonic beast, so she dared not let her guard down.

The scorpion scurried around in the distance, observing her movements and searching for a direction to attack.

Feng Ning was also observing it.

Make sure you can seize the opportunity to respond when it takes action.

After a long standoff, the scorpion suddenly moved.

It was moving incredibly fast, rushing towards her while simultaneously brandishing its long scorpion tail and lunging at her.

Feng Ning quickly dodged to the side, and nine flying swords pierced towards it.

The sword and the scorpion clashed together, making a clanging sound.

Feng Ning was surprised by the hardness of the scorpion's shell, but also felt that it was somewhat difficult to deal with.

She tried various angles and places to stab it, but the scorpion seemed to have no weak points; it was incredibly hard.

While controlling her sword attacks and slowing its progress, she also observed its movements.

But it seems real, as if it has no weaknesses and is flawless.

She controlled the flying sword using her mental power. However, her spiritual sense was not strong enough, so she still had some difficulty dealing with the scorpion.

The longer it drags on, the worse it will be for her.

She then took it even more seriously.

After confirming that there were no weaknesses in any of the attacked areas, she thought of the spider from before.

Isn't that spider's weak point its abdomen?

Could it be that all reptiles share the same weakness, and its weakness is also located in its abdomen?

She said she'd give it a try, and she controlled the other keys to move faster and faster, quietly recalling the Sparrow Tower, and then rushed forward with her sword in hand.

While sweeping away the incoming arrows with its tail, the scorpion also kept an eye on Feng Ning.

So it still saw Feng Ning when she attacked.

It quickly abandoned defending against the other sword attacks, and directly raised its scorpion tail to stab at her.

Feng Ning didn't slow down at all and rushed towards her.

Ye Yuan, who was inside the space, was startled and asked with a cold laugh, "Don't you want to live anymore?"

But his hands moved without hesitation, throwing out a stun talisman from his spatial storage and sending it flying toward the scorpion.

The scorpion was frozen in place. Feng Ning seized the opportunity and swung her sword, knocking the scorpion over.

She examined the scorpion's abdomen but still couldn't find any weakness.

She was a little confused.

"It's not here? How is that possible? Everything has a weakness, how come this scorpion can't find its Achilles' heel?"

"Do you need my help?" Ye Yuan asked.

Feng Ning waved her hand, "No need, I just don't believe I can't kill it."

As he spoke, he gathered all his spiritual power and gripped the Sparrow Tower tightly in his hand.

In the blink of an eye, he had already determined the location to attack.

She swung her sword down, using all her spiritual power, and severed the scorpion's tail.

The scorpion cried out in pain, its tail thrashing on the ground several times before finally calming down.

The scorpion stared at Feng Ning with eyes full of hatred, as if it were a fight to the death.

Feng Ning chuckled and calmly raised his sword.

She had already spotted the scorpion's Achilles' heel.

On the head.

As expected of a late-stage Tier 3 demon beast, it even knows to hide its vital point.

She cut off the scorpion's tail, thus depriving it of its ability to attack and protect itself, making it impossible to conceal its vital point.

At this moment, the vital point is located right at its head.

Feng Ning drew his sword and stabbed at its vital point, killing the demon and taking its core in one swift motion.

Then they didn't even spare its corpse, collecting it all.

Something this hard is perfect for forging weapons! Sell it!

She then asked Ye Yuan in the space, "Can you sense the location of Jinghong Xuanxin now?"

Ye Yuan nodded. "Just keep walking straight in the direction you're facing, and you'll see it."

Feng Ning then put all the swords away.

Ye Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Although you killed it, your spiritual power is exhausted. What will you do if you encounter danger again?"

She walked forward in the direction he pointed without caring. "If I don't go all out, I can't kill it at all. You saw it too. If you hadn't immobilized it, I wouldn't have even had a chance to use that move. I don't have that much time to think, so I can only take the initiative."

"That's nonsense! Your first priority should be taking care of yourself."

Feng Ning chuckled, "I'm just protecting myself. At least I haven't been injured yet, it's just that my spiritual power hasn't recovered. It's better than being injured."

She popped a recovery pill into her mouth while activating the spirit-gathering array.
