Chapter 80: Fierce Battle with the Mysterious Turtle

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, even with Su Zhangqing's composure, he could not help but show a look of interest.

If he could obtain one more defensive Dharma Treasure, it would be of great help to his previous path of cultivation.

Such a good opportunity—if he hadn't encountered it, so be it, but since it was right before his eyes, how could Ruyue Xianzi give it up so easily? As for whether it would offend Shenguang Xianzi, Ruyue Xianzi did not consider it at all; with the divine abilities she and her fellow Daoist possessed, it was impossible for any fish to slip through the net, and who would know that this matter was their doing?

Moreover, even if they didn't act, the idea that a mere girl at the Golden Core Chugi, accompanied by a few small demonic beasts, could deal with such a formidable desolate beast was simply a joke.

Taking a step back, even if she were to save these people for the sake of the big picture and hunt this demonic beast for them, would Shenguang Xianzi form an alliance with her and join forces to deal with the Corpse Yin Sect just for the sake of an insignificant Disciple?

In an instant, numerous thoughts flashed through her mind.

Boom...

A huge, booming sound rang out, and subsequently, the giant waves on the sea became even larger. One could see the four limbs and head of this mysterious turtle all turn a blood-red color, and an overwhelmingly powerful pressure was released.

"Berserk."

Seeing this, the Golden Core girl's heart sank. The so-called Berserk divine ability was something only possessed by some desolate beasts with exceptional innate talent.

It was somewhat similar to the Blood Burning divine ability of the demonic path; once in this state, it could allow the desolate beast's strength to be greatly enhanced.

This creature's strength was already superior to a cultivator at the late stage of Golden Core, and now it was infinitely close to the existence of a post-Golden Core stage.

"Boom..."

A terrifying, loud noise entered her ears, and the water-blue light screen scattered directly away.

Pfft! The demonic clan members who were maintaining the formation all around sprayed blood wildly, turning into blood-covered people entirely. Even that demonic clan member at the Golden Core Chugi had an incomparably pale complexion, with blood spitting from her mouth; clearly, she had suffered no light injury.

Just at this moment, after the desolate beast broke through the formation, its eyes flashed with a blood-red color, and as it raised its dragon-like head, it let out an earth-shattering roar.

In an instant, giant waves surged to the heavens, flashing with a deep blue radiance, condensing into pillars of water.

Swish, swish!

In the void, accompanied by the sound of air being torn, the water pillars flew toward the demonic clan members in the void like water dragons.

Those low-level demonic clan members went without saying; without even the slightest reaction, they were directly slaughtered, and clouds of blood mist scattered away.

That girl at the Golden Core stage had a look of extreme fear. As she raised her hand, a small water-blue banner appeared in her hand, and with a pale face, she injected her demonic power into it.

Hum! The small banner emitted a water-blue radiance, and after a flash, it transformed into a water screen that wrapped around her entire body.

A series of rumbling sounds rang out, the noise incomparably loud, but in an instant, the radiance of the light screen dimmed, becoming illusory, and it was in danger of breaking at any moment.

At this time, the green-clothed girl had a look of extreme pain on her face; at this moment, she could be said to regret it to the extreme.

She had not expected that not only would she fail to slaughter the desolate beast, but she would also die at the hands of the desolate beast.

However, things had reached this point; even if she wanted to retreat, it was too late. Now, she could only block the desolate beast's attack head-on.

"Hoo..."

She immediately operated her cultivation technique with all her might, and demonic Qi surged from her entire body. Within the rolling demonic wind, she transformed into a golden sea snake; it went without saying that this was the true form of that Golden Core girl.

This sea snake was thicker than a water barrel and reached over twenty zhang in length. Although it did not look as impressive as a flood dragon, it was still incomparably terrifying, but compared to this desolate beast, it appeared like a small witch meeting a great witch.

The desolate beast's strength was originally above the late stage of Golden Core, and if it used its innate divine ability, it was even less comparable to this mere sea snake before it.

As it raised its turtle head, it shot out a water-blue beam of light.

"Boom!" After a loud noise fell, it pierced through the light screen transformed by the banner, and the demonic wind did not have the slightest effect. A scream entered the ears, and this sea demon had already fallen on the spot; after all, compared to the strength of the desolate beast, the gap between the two could be said to be a difference of heaven and earth.

In mid-air, only a few mangled corpses remained.

However, a tyrannical look flashed in the mysterious turtle's eyes, and it still refused to let the matter rest. It suddenly opened its turtle mouth, intending to swallow the opponent into its belly.

Yet, over a hundred zhang away, a flash of spiritual light appeared, and a handsome-looking middle-aged cultivator appeared in the void; it went without saying that it was Su Zhangqing.

Although it was only a demonic clan member at the Golden Core Chugi, the value of a demonic core was not insignificant, and Su Zhangqing naturally would not want to waste it.

He did not even make any unnecessary movements; he simply raised his hand and grabbed lightly toward the void.

Bang! The next moment, the sea snake's corpse directly exploded, and a demonic core the size of an adult's fist flew out. After circling for a moment, it flew into Su Zhangqing's hand.

Su Zhangqing looked at this demonic core with a calm expression, and with a flip of his hand, he stored the demonic core into his Storage Bag.

Roar! Just at this moment, a sound of a beast's roar rang out.

The mysterious turtle's blood-red eyes stared fixedly at Su Zhangqing, feeling extreme hatred toward the human who had snatched its food.

In an instant, the desolate beast's turtle shell turned blood-red again, and a fierce aura surged out.

However, at this time, Su Zhangqing's expression did not change in the slightest; among those of the same rank, there were not many people who could defeat him.

Although the strength of this mysterious turtle before him was not bad, it was still not his match.

Whew! He immediately raised his right hand, and a stream of light shot out; it went without saying that it was the Green Sharp Sword.

"Go!"

The next moment, Su Zhangqing's expression tightened slightly, and as he waved his hands, a stream of light was unleashed.

"Hum..."

The Green Sharp Sword emitted a sword hum, and after circling in the air, it swelled wildly against the wind, transforming into a giant sword dozens of zhang long.

Of course, the mysterious turtle naturally would not sit and wait for death. Although its intelligence had not been opened, it had lived for a thousand years, and at least in terms of combat, it was extremely experienced.

It immediately raised its huge turtle head, and blood-red light flashed incessantly in its eyes. Around it, the seawater formed whirlpools and water pillars of various sizes, and nine water dragons with bared fangs and brandished claws rose from within them.

"Well come!"

Su Zhangqing's expression did not change in the slightest, and he gave a soft shout.

After the Green Sharp Sword flashed, it emitted a divine radiance, and in a flash of light, it slashed toward the mysterious turtle, its speed fast to the extreme.

On the other side, a hundred zhang away from the mysterious turtle, Ruyue Xianzi also appeared in this place with a flash of light.

Since Su Zhangqing had already made a move, she naturally would not stand idly by.

After all, this place was only a mere tens of thousands of miles away from Shenguang Dao; if they did not act quickly, who knew what accidents might occur.

Thinking of this, she did not have the slightest hesitation.

As she raised her jade hand, she took out a water-blue jade sword, which transformed into a water-blue radiance dozens of zhang long, slashing toward the mysterious turtle.

Ruyue Xianzi possesses a Water Spirit Root, and being on the vast ocean at this moment is an excellent environment for her, allowing the power of her spells to increase by at least thirty to forty percent.

This desolate beast is clearly also of the water attribute, and Ruyue Xianzi reveals a look of mockery.
