Chapter 226: Victory

The other scorpion tried to use its pincers once more, but Alex could easily dodge it. In anger, it used its tail to attack Alex. Alex jumped out of the way and landed on the sand.

He immediately turned around to see that exactly what he wanted to achieve had happened. The scorpion with the tail had pierced the other scorpion\'s back with the stinger.

It was now dead.

Finally, there was only one enemy left. Alex was tired, but now was not the time to rest. He stood up and looked towards the scorpion. It was now time to fight it.

Alex remembered the first time he had fought the scorpion a day ago. He had used the stinger to kill that one, so he wanted to kill this one the same way as well.

He ran forward. The scorpion too came running at him, blood dripping on its back from its tail; blood that belonged to the other scorpion. The pincers came as expected and Alex managed to dodge it in time.

As expected, the tail came down too. Alex easily dodged it and jumped onto the scorpion\'s body, expecting to rip off its tail. He grabbed it with his arms and pulled it.

However, no matter how much he tried, he couldn\'t rip it off. "Damn, this is way harder than the one back in the river. Just how strong are the ones in the desert?" he thought.

Unable to do what he wanted, he punched and kicked the scorpion a few times and tried to jump off. Suddenly, the scorpion turned around at a terrifying speed and grabbed his left arm.

It tried to snap it, but the most it could do it crush it. Still, that was enough.

"ARGHHH," he screamed as intense pain ran inside him from the multitudes of broken bones. The scorpion didn\'t let go of the arm and brought around another pincer to grab his right arm.

CRACK

His right arm was gone too. The pain was equally as intense, forcing Alex to cry out as loud as he could. He tried to pull out his arms, but they were firmly in the scorpion\'s pincers. It was now holding on to him.

Suddenly, it attacked him with its tails. Alex managed to barely move away from his head enough so that the stinger barely went past his head.? This time, however, he couldn\'t hold his breath as the pain was too intense and he had to cry out.

His mind was starting to go numb from the scent of venom. It wasn\'t enough to kill him or even harm him, but it was making his mind dull and lazy.

"That\'s… bad…" he barely managed to think, when suddenly, he heard a bunch of notifications.

<Toxic Substance detected>

<Sun God\'s Divine Yang body disintegrates everything>

<Toxins have been destroyed>

<No Qi found>

His mind went back to being as sharp as ever, as all the venom from his body was destroyed by his body. He didn\'t think about the notifications for now, and instead, used his legs to hit the scorpion\'s head as hard as he could.

Usually, the head was protected by the pincers, but now the pincers were in use. It tried to pull back its pincers while still grabbing Alex\'s hands, but couldn\'t as Alex was equally as strong.

Instead, Alex pulled his on its pincers with his own broken arms. And then,

BAM

He hit its head with his legs as hard as he could. The scorpion tried to hit him with its tail, but he could dodge that easily. He hit his head as hard as he could while dodging the tails.

The scorpion\'s head was starting to bleed a little now. Finally, the scorpion let go of his arms to protect itself, but just then, Alex caught it. He was the one now pulling on the pincers while continuously attacking its head.

Finally, the scorpion started to lose consciousness from all the damage its head was taking and stopped fighting. Soon, it had fainted. Alex didn\'t stop, however.

Now that there was no threat of the tail attacking him, he kept on hitting its head until it was completely destroyed. The scorpion was dead.

He finally slumped onto the ground and cried out in agony as he finally felt all the stress and pain hit him altogether. He slowly lifted his arms to see that around the wrist area, they were completely swollen.

Both of his arms were blue and black, and it hurt like hell. He needed to find a fruit to eat to heal himself a little or just directly go to the sect.

After a while, the pain subsided and he could no longer use his arm. If he were to come across some monster here, it would be bad. He stood up and looked around. He found his broken blade a little further away, so he walked towards it. It was beyond usable now.

He sighed and just left it there. It had helped him as much as it could. He silently and carefully made his way back towards the river. Along the way, he met a few monsters, but thankfully, they were weak enough that he didn\'t need to use his hands to kill them.

Finally, he reached the shore. He needed to jump once more. He didn\'t know if he could do it without his arms or not, but he tried. He walked a little back to make some runway and ran as fast as he could.

In a single leap, he flew high into the air and went past the shore on the other side, landing on the grasses. There were no monsters on this side like last time when he jumped to find the centipede. "Thank god," he said in relief.

He rested for a few minutes there to let his throbbing arm stop hurting. Then, he went to the river and drank some water.

Afterward, he turned around and walked towards the cliff, back to the sect.
