Blackie's reaction was quite fast. However, he was still stabbed in the back by the scorpion's tail, causing him to hiss in pain.
Blackie immediately counterattacked. A white beam of light shot toward the scorpion king.
The scorpion king's narrow eyes were filled with disgust as it said, "What a hateful beam of light!"
When the white beam of light was about to reach him, he easily dodged it.
Little Black continued to launch a few more attacks, but all of them were futile!
The attack of the horn was very powerful. It could even threaten a mid-grade Demon King.
However, that kind of lethality could only be achieved when the opponent was caught off guard.
If the opponent was prepared, it would not be enough to deal with a mid-grade Demon King.
Blackie had consumed a lot of energy, but he was still bitterly holding on.
The scorpion king spoke again, "You're out of tricks, aren't you? My turn!"
The scorpion king approached Blackie, and its pince-like arms pierced toward Blackie's lower abdomen.
Blackie was unable to dodge the attack. His lower abdomen was pierced, and blood immediately spurted out.
This time, Blackie did not scream. Instead, a large amount of Asura Qi emerged from his body and surged toward the scorpion king.
Not only that, but a strange rune energy suddenly came out of his mouth.
The rune energy looked like ancient words, but it also looked like some kind of strange diagram. It was impossible to understand.
However, it was this strange rune that gave off a dense aura of death.
If a top-grade Demon King was here, they would be able to tell that this was a type of Nether Demonic Curse used by the Nether Demonic Horse. It was also the so-called Death Curse.
A single curse could instantly kill any lifeform.
Although Blackie was only using Asura Qi to condense the Nether Demonic Curse, it was enough to cause great damage.
The Nether Demonic Curse tangled with the scorpion king. The dense aura of death began to reduce the scorpion king's vitality.
If the scorpion king could not break free from the Nether Demonic Curse, it would definitely die.
The middle-ranked Poisonous Scorpion King also felt that something was wrong. It ruthlessly threw Little Black to the ground, smashing several large trees and breaking them apart.
It was unknown whether Xiao Hei was dead or alive, and Huo Ming was beginning to show signs of weakness!
The middle-grade Poisonous Scorpion King tried to use its power to break free from the Nether Demon Curse, but the Nether Demon Curse was not weakened at all. It was too troublesome!
"I don't believe that I can't make this damn thing disappear after eating you!"
The middle-grade scorpion king was at its wit's end. It roared and rushed towards Little Black. It wanted to swallow Little Black's demon core alive!
At this moment, Yao Yue, Xiao Liuzi, and the other demon kings finally arrived.
Yao Yue and Xiao Liuzi both had divine eyes and clairvoyant ears. When they came along the way, they immediately sensed the commotion in this direction and immediately flew over at full speed.
Yao Yue flew down at full speed when she saw the middle-ranked Poison Scorpion's pincers piercing towards Little Black's head.
"Get lost!"
Yao Yue roared. His speed was as fast as lightning, and he kicked the middle ranked Poison Scorpion's back.
Bang!
Before the middle-grade Poison Scorpion could understand what was going on, its body was smashed into the ground, creating a huge crater!
"Little Black!" Yao Yue ignored the middle-grade Poison Scorpion and bent down to check on Little Black's injuries.
He found a huge hole in Little Black's abdomen. He could even see the internal organs inside. Blood was flowing profusely!
Although Little Black had used Rejuvenation, its recovery speed was extremely slow. After all, its injuries were too severe!
Without hesitation, Yao Yue took out the Spring of Life and dripped a drop into Little Black's mouth. At the same time, he said, "Little Black, quickly swallow this Spring of Life!"
The middle-grade Poison Scorpion King crawled back up and shouted, "How dare you injure this king! You deserve death!"
Just as it was about to attack Yao Yue, another voice rang out, "How dare you injure my brother? This prince will beat you to death!"
As the voice rang out, a flaming stick descended from the sky, forming a ten-meter-long stick shadow that slammed into the middle-grade Poison Scorpion King's body.
Rumble!
How could the middle-grade Poison Scorpion King possibly withstand Xiao Liuzi's all-out attack? It exploded on the spot.
On the other side, Huo Shang led the other Firehawk Kings to rescue Huo Ming and kill the two Poison Scorpion Kings!
Huo Ming and Little Black's crisis had finally been resolved!
Huo Shang was very happy to see Huo Ming become a King, and he praised him repeatedly.
Huo Ming was also very happy to see his father, but his situation was a little bad. He had to expel the scorpion poison as soon as possible!
As for Little Black, after swallowing the Spring of Life and using Rejuvenation's healing ability, his injuries were recovering very quickly.
However, his strength was still very weak, and he still needed more time to recover.
Just as Huo Shang was about to tell Yao Yue to return to the Fire Maple Forest, Yao Yue said, "There is no need for the Poison Scorpion Tribe to stay here and harm other tribes!"
Without a doubt, Yao Yue wanted to kill all the Poison Scorpion Tribe in the forest to appease his anger!
If he had arrived a little later, he would have been the one to collect Little Black's corpse. Naturally, he couldn't let this matter rest!
Huo Shang was also angry, and he immediately agreed. He led the other Firehawk Kings to kill the scorpions in the forest.
There were hundreds and thousands of scorpions in the vicinity. Without the protection of their Kings, they were basically defenseless!
Under the burning of the demonic flames, many of the scorpions were quickly eliminated!
At the same time that these poisonous scorpions were killed, Yao Yue also searched their territory and obtained a lot of vitality stones, as well as some poisonous herbs and spiritual herbs. Among them was a spiritual herb called the Scorpion Spirit Vine, which had the effect of curing hundreds of poisons.
After doing all this, Yao Yue, Xiao Liuzi, Huo Shang, and the other Kings returned to the Fire Maple Forest once more.
After returning, Huo Shang immediately brought Yao Yue to pay a visit to the Firehawk Emperor.
The Firehawk Emperor didn't stay in a secluded place. He usually sat cross-legged on a Fire Maple Tree that was tens of millions of Firehawks. Very few Firehawks dared to approach this place.
When Yao Yue and Huo Shang arrived at the Firehawk Emperor's place, they found him using demonic flames to burn all kinds of materials and then condensing them together. Clearly, he was refining a weapon.
Bang!
A muffled sound rang out. Many materials were destroyed in an instant.
The Firehawk Emperor grumbled, "Damn it, why can't I refine it?!"
The Firehawk Emperor had a tall and sturdy physique. Flames swirled around his body, and his aura was intimidating. There was no doubt that he was an emperor!
As Yao Yue's strength increased, he could sense how terrifying an emperor's aura was. He discovered that the Firehawk Emperor gave him a much stronger pressure than his grandfather!
"Feather Emperor, His Highness, Yao Yue has returned!" Huo Shang prostrated himself before the Firehawk Emperor respectfully.
Yao Yue bowed and greeted, "Greetings, Firehawk Emperor!"
The Firehawk Emperor had long sensed their arrival. He turned around and stared at Yao Yue with his sharp eyes.
In an instant, the Firehawk Emperor arrived before Yao Yue from a thousand meters away and laughed, "Kid, you've actually reached the mid realm. Your bloodline is indeed extraordinary!"
The Firehawk Emperor had long suspected that Yao Yue had an Atavistic Physique. Now that Yao Yue had improved so quickly, he couldn't help but feel excited.
"You flatter me, Firehawk Emperor!"
Yao Yue replied humbly. He then added, "Actually, I have something to discuss with you."
The Firehawk Emperor was puzzled. He then waved his hand at Huo Shang, indicating that he could leave. He then said, "Just say what you want to say. Don't be so wishy-washy."
Yao Yue looked at the Firehawk Emperor and underwent a transformation.
The fire on his body surged, and his wings changed as well. He seemed to have transformed into a nine-colored demonic phoenix!
The Firehawk Emperor's eyes narrowed when he saw this. His eyes were filled with astonishment.
"This, this is …?" The Firehawk Emperor swallowed his saliva.
He suddenly felt a suppression from the power of the origin, giving him the urge to submit.
"To tell you the truth, I actually have the blood of the Phoenix in me. I belong to the bloodline of the Phoenix Clan!" Yao Yue said frankly.
The Phoenix was the leader of all birds. The Fire Hawk Clan was nothing in front of them. Therefore, Yao Yue revealed his identity this time to clarify a fact with the Fire Hawk Emperor!
The Firehawk Emperor stared at Yao Yue, sensing Yao Yue's aura. He was sure that Yao Yue was telling the truth.
Yao Yue felt his hair stand on end under the Firehawk Emperor's stare. He was afraid that the Firehawk Emperor would kill him in a fit of rage.
"I didn't mean to lie to you, Firehawk Emperor …" Yao Yue had no choice but to explain.
However, before he could finish, the Firehawk Emperor bowed and said respectfully, "You are indeed of the Phoenix bloodline. Please allow Huo Yu to protect you, Son of Heaven."
Yao Yue was stunned.
The Firehawk Emperor was actually bowing to him and addressing him in such a manner. He had no idea what was going on.
"Firehawk Emperor, don't be like this. I only have the Phoenix bloodline. I'm not Son of Heaven," Yao Yue explained.
The Firehawk Emperor straightened his back and stared at Yao Yue with sparkling eyes. It was as if he was looking at his lover.
The Firehawk Emperor explained, "I thought you had the Ancestral Awakening Physique, but it turns out you have the Phoenix Physique. You are the primogenitor of all birds. Your future is limitless, so it is normal for me to address you as Son of Heaven. The Phoenix, Dragon, Kunpeng … they are all primogenitors of our demonic beast race. They are the strongest representatives of our demonic beast race. They all possess great power. For example, the Golden Flood Dragon Clan, one of the ten sovereign clans, has a thin layer of dragon blood. The Sky Peng Clan also has a thin layer of kunpeng blood, which is why they are so powerful. Son of Heaven, your bloodline is the real Phoenix bloodline, which is much denser than theirs.
The Firehawk Emperor had already obtained all kinds of legacies after becoming the Firehawk Emperor. He knew that there were even stronger existences above the Emperor Realm.
Given the bloodline talent Yao Yue had displayed, he was sure that Yao Yue would have no problem reaching that level. This was why he was willing to protect Yao Yue.
