Douluo Continent: A Fallen Immortal Descends to Earth, Slaying Gods with a Drunken Sword

Chapter 6 Mutant Soul Beast – The Three-Tailed Sword Scorpion King! "If I hear the Dao in the morning, I can die content in the evening."

Deep in the valley.

The sound of loose stones rolling could be heard.

One by one, the sword-tailed scorpions retreated in fear.

The shadows on the rock face appeared before the main bodies—three ferocious, sword-like tails swayed and collided, producing a metallic clang.

The sound of metal clanging together grew louder as it approached.

The shadow on the rock face grew larger and larger until it finally climbed out.

I saw.

Its bronze-colored armor gleamed with a cold luster, and three narrow blades extended from its tail section.

As the scorpion moved, the three blades collided with each other, scattering tiny sparks.

An extremely sharp and aggressive aura spread wildly throughout the valley.

The other sword-tailed scorpions prostrated themselves on the ground, their sword-tails pressed tightly against the earth, signifying their submission.

Behind the boulder.

Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes widened, her pretty face filled with disbelief.

"Withdraw first, and then we'll discuss the matter further."

Li Zhexian stared at the scorpion king with three sword-like tails and whispered.

The two tiptoed away from the valley.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Li Zhexian and asked in a panic:

"What is that soul beast?"

"A sword-tailed scorpion with three tails?!"

Li Zhexian took a big gulp of wine, wiped his mouth, and said:
"Humans can experience mutations in their martial souls, and so can soul beasts."

"This sword-tailed scorpion with three tails... perhaps we could call it the Three-Tailed Sword Scorpion King."

After a moment's hesitation, Li Zhexian continued with a sigh:

"Even ordinary sword-tailed scorpions are extremely powerful among soul beasts of the same level. This three-tailed sword scorpion king must be even more terrifying."

Zhu Zhuqing's face still showed traces of horror.

The scene just now, where the Three-Tailed Scorpion King appeared and the other Scorpion-tailed Scorpions submitted, was truly visually striking.

"Unfortunately, a three-tailed sword scorpion king appeared."

"Li Zhexian, it seems you can't use the Sword-Tail Scorpion as your spirit ring anymore. Let's look for something else..."

Zhu Zhuqing said.

Li Zhexian suddenly said:

"Thank you, Zhu Zhuqing."

"You go."

"Ok?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Li Zhexian and noticed that while the latter was gulping down his drink, his eyes were fixed on the entrance of the valley without blinking.

There was a long silence.

A hint of surprise appeared in Zhu Zhuqing's usually cold voice.

"Li Zhexian, don't tell me you're eyeing that Three-Tailed Sword Scorpion King?!"

Li Zhexian turned around and looked at Zhu Zhuqing, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"no?"

"You're crazy!"

Zhu Zhuqing asked, not understanding:

"Leaving aside how powerful the Three-Tailed Sword Scorpion King is, even those sword-tailed scorpions are beyond the capabilities of the two of us!"

"Be rational, we can definitely find other soul beasts that are suitable for you!"

Seeing that Li Zhexian remained unmoved.

Zhu Zhuqing clenched her fists, her tone becoming much harsher.

"Li Zhexian, are you willing to risk your life for a soul ring?!"

"Ah……"

Li Zhexian let out a laugh that was difficult to decipher.

“Zhu Zhuqing…”

"If your soul power doesn't improve at all in six years."

"Those who had high hopes for you, cared about you, and loved you could not accept your mediocrity and gradually left you."

"Then you'll realize how precious and rare it is to become stronger."

Li Zhexian had his back to Zhu Zhuqing, and his tone was as light and ethereal as the clouds in the sky.

"If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening."

-

A long silence fell over the jungle, broken only by the rustling of the wind through the trees.

Zhu Zhuqing's trembling eyes reflected Li Zhexian's back.

The boy's back was lonely, yet he stood tall and straight like bamboo.

It turns out that the first spirit ring belonged to a genius boy with a thousand-year lifespan, and there were so many unknown past events behind him.

"If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening..."

Zhu Zhuqing began to understand something. This explained why Li Zhexian was able to achieve such a feat—his first soul ring was a thousand years old.

This unwavering determination to become stronger at all costs is truly awe-inspiring.

this moment.

Zhu Zhuqing even felt that her mind had become clearer.

She slowly exhaled and pursed her lips, saying:
"What's your plan?"

"Ok?"

Li Zhexian turned around and stared at Zhu Zhuqing's cool and beautiful face for a long time without saying a word.

Zhu Zhuqing was so embarrassed by his gaze that she said, blushing and annoyed:

"What are you looking at!"

"I've said it before, Zhu Zhuqing keeps her word!"

"Since I promised to help you obtain a spirit ring, I will definitely do it!"

Li Zhexian was not the type to overthink things.

He immediately gave Zhu Zhuqing a thumbs up.

"My sister Zhuqing is a good person, she really steps up when needed, and she's reliable!"

Upon hearing the words "able to handle," Zhu Zhuqing spat out a mouthful of hot water.

"What kind of 'Sister Zhuqing' is that? What an awful way to address her!"

Li Zhexian smiled but did not speak.

Zhu Zhuqing is such a good friend; he will remember her kindness.

We'll see about the future.

Watching the sky getting darker.

Li Zhexian no longer wasted time.

He told Zhu Zhuqing about his plan.

"The swordtail scorpion colony in the valley has formed a complete social system."

"You can think of it as an ant nest, and just like ants have different roles, these sword-tailed scorpions are the same."

"I don't know if you've noticed, but there are four exceptionally large thousand-year-old sword-tailed scorpions in the valley. These four thousand-year-old sword-tailed scorpions are like worker ants, and they are the ones that come out of the nest to forage for food."

"The best time for us to act will be when these four thousand-year-old sword-tailed scorpions leave the valley to forage!"

As Li Zhexian recounted his story in detail...

Zhu Zhuqing blinked her beautiful eyes, her mind a little dazed.

But that didn't stop her from feeling admiration for this boy who was about the same age as her.

To understand soul beasts so well at such a young age is truly remarkable.

"Hey, Sister Zhuqing, are you even listening to me?"

"Hmm? I'm listening, I'm listening, please continue..."

Li Zhexian continued with a solemn expression:
"It's up to you now."

"When faced with an enemy invasion, the king of a tribe will not be the first to strike."

"Sister Zhuqing, I need your help to lure out the remaining sword-tailed scorpions in the valley."

"Although the four thousand-year-old sword-tailed scorpions have gone out to hunt for food, there is still considerable danger."

"Can you?"

Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face tightened, and she slowly nodded.

"My martial soul excels in speed, so there shouldn't be any problem."

Li Zhexian said:

"One minute, I only need one minute, just hold them off for one minute."

Zhu Zhuqing frowned as she looked at the sharp glint in Li Zhexian's eyes and said:
"Isn't one minute too short?"

"enough."

Li Zhexian slapped the green bamboo beside him with his palm.

With a "snap," the bamboo broke.

Then, he pointed his sword fingers together and carved a simple bamboo tube.

He picked up the clear spring wine pot from his waist and poured the cool wine into the bamboo tube.

The bamboo tube was handed to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Scorpions move quickly on flat ground, so you should try to get deeper into the jungle."

Li Zhexian stared at Zhu Zhuqing and said seriously:
"Remember to drink the wine I give you while you're running."

Zhu Zhuqing took the bamboo tube and nodded emphatically.

"Ok!"

It's getting late.

The setting sun dyed half the sky blood red.

Li Zhexian and Zhu Zhuqing hid in the bushes dozens of meters away in the valley.

When four thousand-year-old sword-tailed scorpions were seen crawling out of the valley.

Li Zhexian was greatly encouraged.

"action!"
