Grinding EXP From Fireball Skill

Chapter 341: An Ingenious Kill

BOOM! BANG!

The moment the Blue Fireball exploded,

a sudden terror surged through the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord’s heart.

It sensed a mortal threat.

It couldn’t understand why the threat from the Blue Fireball had suddenly magnified.

It made no sense at all.

BANG!

A streak of light shot out from within the exploding Blue Fireball.

Propelled by the blast, it erupted with astonishing speed and power.

It instantly pierced the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord’s energy shield and tough carapace.

CRACK! SQUELCH!

The Blade of Judgment plunged into the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord’s body.

Instantly, its lethal effect triggered.

The Poison Scorpion Beast Lord’s immensely powerful Life Force came to an abrupt halt.

It died instantly.

One second, the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord was majestic and its aura overwhelmingly powerful.

The next, its aura vanished in a flash as it collapsed to the ground, the light fading from its eyes.

THUD!

Its massive, raised scorpion tail slammed onto the ground with a heavy sound,

signaling the fall of the mighty Poison Scorpion Beast Lord.

Li Wei slowly descended from the air, a smile on his face.

He had finally killed the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord.

His method was quite ingenious.

The Blade of Judgment could automatically lock onto a target and attack.

However, the locked-on target would also sense it.

The more powerful the creature, the more acute its perception of danger.

That was why the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord had realized the immense threat of the Blade of Judgment the moment it was locked on.

Li Wei’s solution was to not lock onto the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord at all.

He deviated from the Blade of Judgment’s normal use.

He hid the Blade of Judgment inside the Blue Fireball.

Then he used the force of the explosion to propel the Blade of Judgment toward the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord.

This way, with no prior lock-on, the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord would only sense the danger when the Blade of Judgment was already threatening its life.

By then, it was already too late.

The explosive force instantly accelerated the Blade of Judgment to a speed of over several thousand meters per second.

In just a few thousandths of a second, no matter how powerful the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord was, it couldn’t possibly react in time to defend itself.

Given Li Wei’s meticulous planning, the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord had been completely outmaneuvered.

The only thing Li Wei hadn’t been sure of during the entire process was his inability to control the direction of the blast. He couldn’t guarantee that the explosion would propel the Blade of Judgment precisely into the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord’s body.

Fortunately, the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord’s body was massive enough.

The Blue Fireball was also close enough to it.

Although the final impact was far from where Li Wei had aimed, it was at least a hit.

And a hit was all that was needed.

Whether it pierced the heart or just grazed a finger,

the Blade of Judgment’s lethal effect would work all the same.

Li Wei slowly descended, connecting his Spiritual Power to the Blade of Judgment inside the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord’s body.

Guided by his Spiritual Power, the Blade of Judgment flew out of the beast’s body and returned to Li Wei’s side.

HISS!

A Tier Five Poison Scorpion Beast was stunned to see Li Wei kill their lord.

Its first instinct was to flee.

But as it turned, it saw Li Wei landing.

Li Wei had entered its attack range.

A great surge of courage welled up within the Tier Five Poison Scorpion Beast.

It thought it could kill Li Wei and avenge its lord.

’If I can kill Li Wei, I’ll become the next lord!’

And so, it attacked.

WHOOSH!

SQUELCH!

The Blade of Judgment sliced through the Tier Five Poison Scorpion Beast’s body.

The Tier Five Poison Scorpion Beast died instantly.

Its half-raised tail went limp and collapsed.

Li Wei controlled the Blade of Judgment, harvesting the lives of the surrounding Poison Scorpion Beasts.

Even if the ordinary Poison Scorpion Beasts sensed the immense threat from the Blade of Judgment,

they couldn’t react in time to do anything about it.

Li Wei easily slaughtered all the nearby Poison Scorpion Beasts.

Terrified, the Poison Scorpion Beasts in the distance turned and fled.

All the Poison Scorpion Beasts had fled, leaving the ground littered with corpses.

Li Wei let out a breath, his tense heart relaxing a little.

’It’s over. All that’s left is to find the Poison Dragon Saliva Grass and Poison Dragon Saliva in the Poisonous Scorpion Beast Nest.’

Lilith recalled her Shadow Lord and watched Li Wei from a distance, a hint of admiration in her eyes.

Soon, she suppressed her admiration for his strength

and looked at Li Wei with a calm gaze.

Bella stared at Li Wei, dumbfounded.

When she saw Li Wei engulfed by the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord’s attack, her heart had sunk into despair.

She thought it was all over.

But in the blink of an eye, she saw Li Wei turn the tables and kill the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord.

He had decided the outcome in a single move.

The entire battle, from start to finish, had lasted no more than a dozen seconds.

An extremely powerful Tier Six Peak Poison Scorpion Beast Lord had died at Li Wei’s hands.

This dealt a tremendous shock to Bella’s mind.

The Legendary Weapon, the Blade of Judgment, had played a crucial role.

However, she also had to acknowledge Li Wei’s own power.

It was precisely because she had fought the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord herself that she understood how difficult all of this truly was.

It was far harder than it looked.

Kristiman was stunned speechless, utterly shocked.

He didn’t even know what to say.

The pressure from the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord had been immense.

He felt like just getting close would mean death.

For such an incomparably powerful Magic Beast to die so easily at Li Wei’s hands...

The stark, immense contrast was something he couldn’t quite accept right away.

If Li Wei had displayed immense strength from the very beginning, it would have been one thing.

He wouldn’t have been this shocked.

But Li Wei was just a Tier Three Mage wielding a Legendary Weapon.

And he had killed the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord so effortlessly.

For a moment, he couldn’t tell if it was the Legendary Weapon that was powerful, or if Li Wei himself was just that damn good.

He was completely bewildered, finding it all a bit unbelievable.

"Stop standing there in a daze. Hurry up and take me and Evelyn to find the Poison Dragon Saliva Grass," Bella urged.

Hearing this, Kristiman finally snapped out of it.

He quickly ran toward the Poisonous Scorpion Beast Nest.

He controlled the wind, carrying Evelyn and Bella as they floated toward the nest.

Li Wei saw Kristiman and Bella approaching and said, "The Poison Scorpion Beast Lord is dead. We can go in and look for the Poison Dragon Saliva Grass now."

Kristiman nodded and said, "I know. Follow me."

He knew the route like the back of his hand.

It wasn’t his first time coming to the Poisonous Scorpion Beast Nest to find Poison Dragon Saliva Grass.

Previously, he was always the one who would sneak into the nest to find the grass whenever the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord was out hunting.

Bella had always been responsible for keeping watch outside and distracting the Poison Scorpion Beasts and their lord.

Kristiman’s ability from the Hundred Flowers Clan was "Windflower."

His combat abilities weren’t strong, but his support and concealment skills were exceptional.

One of the Windflower’s abilities was to send messages on the wind.

He could use the wind to carry his voice to distant places, and he could also hear the voice of the wind.

He could also use the wind to conceal his scent and his form.

This made him perfectly suited for infiltration missions.

Under Kristiman’s lead, the group moved quickly through the Poisonous Scorpion Beast Nest.

They made turn after turn, left and right.

It made even Li Wei feel dizzy and lost.

He had no idea how Kristiman managed to remember such a complex route.

There were still some Poison Scorpion Beasts remaining inside the nest.

However, for Li Wei and the others, they posed no threat at all.

Wherever the Blade of Judgment appeared, death and destruction followed.

"We’re here. It’s just ahead."
