“Be careful Big Brother An, there are two of them!” Xiao Chou shouted.
Atop the vertical cliff face, a giant red tortoise of close to a hundred feet in wingspan leaped down toward An Lin.
“Holy f*ck! Are you trying to crush me!?”
An Lin raised his head as the round tortoiseshell descended toward him like a giant boulder, bringing with it an insane crushing force.
Wind Spirit!
Rings of wind appeared underfoot as his body shed through the air at high speed.
<i>Rumble!</i>
The giant tortoise fell onto the ground and the earth itself trembled under the terrifying impact.
The sharp increase in speed allowed An Lin to avoid this devastating attack.
At this moment, Da Bai used his ws to produce extremely sharp white des of wind.
The des of wind tore through the air, striking the head of the giant tortoise with a rumbling explosion.
The red tortoise retreated a few steps but remainedpletely unharmed.
The huge ck tortoise spat a ck mist into the air again.
The huge red tortoise also spat out a vast stream of fire at this moment,bining with the ck mist to form a dark red zing dragon which flew toward everyone.
Everyone hurriedly activated their movement techniques and dispersed to dodge the attack.
The ground became charred and corroded ck as the zing dragon passed through.
“Are these two giant tortoises a husband and wife duo? They could even usebination moves!” An Lin stared at the ck trench dragged out by the zing dragon with fear lingering in his eyes.
Xu Xian wielded her longsword at this moment and shed out a me sword sh imbued with the essence of fire.
The sword sh struck the ck tortoise, the explosion of mes enveloping an area of a hundred feet in radius in a sea of fire.
“Tsss, tsss…”
ck mist broke through the mes before flying toward Xu Xian.
Xu Xian’s expression changed drastically as she immediately evaded using her movement technique.
The huge ck tortoise rushed out of the sea of mes,pletely unharmed and raring for more.
Xiao Chou charged toward the red tortoise, swinging his silver staff down toward its head with ferocious force.
Facing a full-force attack from a Spirit Nurturing Final Stage cultivator, the red tortoise did not retreat, instead extending its head toward Xiao Chou in a head-butt.
<i>Boom!</i>
Xiao Chou felt as if he had struck a solid block of steel, the force from their sh created shock waves in the air, creating deep gashes in the ground. The red tortoise did not even take a backward step, but it was instead Xiao Chou who was forced into retreat by the rebounding force.
“It would be OK if it was just the shell, but even its head is so hard!” Xiao Chou eximed in his retreat.
“Let me try!” An Lin wielded the Evil-ying Sword as he charged toward the red tortoise.
The red tortoise immediately spat out a stream of mes when it detected An Lin’s approach.
The mes swept toward him like a giant wave, bringing with it insanely scorching heat.
A strong wind suddenly whipped up at this moment, tearing into the mes and creating a white passageway.
“Big Brother An, hurry, woof!” Da Bai shouted whilst maintaining the wind pressure passageway with both hands.
An Lin charged into the passageway Da Bai created for him as rings of wind appeared underfoot again.
Although the red tortoise didn’t have any eyes, it could detect An Lin’s approach through other means and with that, it could also detect a threatening sense of danger.
It immediately began to withdraw its head back into its shell.
“You want to retreat like a coward? It’s toote!” An Lin roared.
The Evil-ying Sword was suddenly encapsted in a white stream of wind, before flying toward the tortoise like lightning.
First technique, Wind Sword!
<i>sh!</i>
Thin white lines appeared on the tortoise’s neck, forming an indistinct ring.
The ck tortoise, which was being contained by Xiao Chou and Xu Xian, looked out of the corner of its eyes toward An Lin and was also greatly startled by An Lin’s terrifying sword technique.
<i>Boom!</i>
The red tortoise fell heavily to the ground, its head disconnecting with the rest of its body before sliding to the ground along the straight incision as huge amounts of blood began to pour forth.
The Wind Sword Technique was certainly an extremely fast technique, but its ws were also quite apparent, mainly embodied through the fact that it wascking in destructive power.
However, the extreme sharpness of the Evil-ying Sword perfectlypensated for this w, transforming the Wind Sword Technique into an extremely fearsome move!
After using the Wind Sword Technique, An Lin felt as if his body had been drained of all strength. But he couldn’t rest yet, there was another giant tortoise that had to be taken care of.
Thus, he wielded the Evil-ying Sword and charged toward the other tortoise.
“An Lin, when did your swordsmanship be so powerful!?”
Xu Xian eximed in surprise after witnessing An Lin y the giant red tortoise.
“I’m a genius, please refer to me as Sword Immortal An Lin from now on!”
An Linughed triumphantly as he charged toward the ck tortoise.
The ck tortoise had already sensed the red tortoise’s death, so it immediately withdrew its head into its shell in fear.
An Lin shed his sword toward the opening where the tortoise head had retracted into, only to find that ayer of cuticle substance had sealed up the opening and the even the Evil-ying Sword was only able to make a light scratch onto the material.
A huge cloud of ck mist subsequently began to erupt from the ck tortoise’s body, forcing An Lin into retreat.
Xu Xian and Da Bai’s attacks fell on the giant tortoise at this moment.
The attacks pierced through the ck mist before striking the tortoiseshell with a resounding boom, but the ck tortoise was like an immovable mountain.
Meanwhile, the clouds of ck mist began to pounce toward everyone, as if with a mind of its own.
The ck tortoise himself, however, was beginning to retreat whilst maintaining its withdrawn head…
“Big Brother An, it’s trying to escape, woof!” Da Bai shouted urgently as it dodged a cloud of ck mist.
An Lin looked on at the retreating fortress, at a loss for what to do as well.
“Are we just gonna let it go?” Xu Xian asked unwillingly.
A crisp voice sounded at this time.
“Lightning Maniption Technique of The Divine Sword!”
A bolt of white lightning with a diameterparable to that of a water tank subsequently fell from the sky, as if it was a sharp sword piercing through the darkness and bombarding the center of the ck tortoiseshell.
<i>Boom!</i>
Lightning shed and white streams of electricity began to flow through the tortoise shell like a myriad of small white snakes.
The ck tortoise howled in anguish, involuntarily extending its head under the force of the lightning strike.
“Luo Yan sh!”
A white-robed woman descended from the sky, her longsword shing down in a powerful shing motion.
<i>Ssh!</i>
The head of the tortoise fell onto the ground as blood sprayed everywhere.
Afterpleting the sh, the woman leaped toward An Lin. Her motions were smooth and unhurried, exuding an air of grace and elegance.
Under the glow of Xiao Chou’s searchlight eyes, An Lin could see that her features were quite beautiful. There was a tiny mole at the corner of her eye which gave her a gentle yet seductive air.
“Thank you for your assistance, fellow cultivator!” Xu Xian called out thankfully.
“Don’t mention it, the weakness of the Demonic Abyss Tortoise is lightning, it’s defenses can be easily broken by a powerful flow of electricity.” the white-robed woman smiled brightly as she exined.
Xiao Chou immediately came to a realization upon hearing the woman’s exnation. No wonder he couldn’t do anything to the giant tortoise with his club but the woman was able to slice off the tortoise’s head with just one sh of her sword. They were both at the Spirit Nurturing Final Stage and she didn’t have all the hacks An Lin did, so there shouldn’t have been much of a difference in strength, Xiao Chou now understood why.
“May I ask if your name is Lu Xueqi?” An Lin asked with a surprised expression.
The white-robed woman was little taken aback. “Lu who? I’m Ji Yanling.”
“Oh…” An Lin was a little disappointed.
“The Abyss of Evil is an extremely dangerous ce, why have you guyse here?” Ji Yanling asked.
An Lin replied, “We’re here to defeat a sinister devil. Uh… you can basically say that this is a mission.”
“Defeat a sinister devil!?” Ji Yanling widened her eyes in surprise, “There are people nowadays who go out of their way to find sinister devils to fight?”
Sinister devils were extremely terrifying, most cultivators tried to avoid them at all cost, how are there people who are voluntarily seeking one out!?
An Lin did not reply, instead only offering up an apologetic smile.
Xu Xian also humphed coldly, clearly not wanting to speak on the matter either.
Ji Yanling knew that they weren’t kidding around from their expressions and her brows furrowed slightly. “Truth be told, I’ve been in the Abyss of Evil for more than a year, but I’ve still yet to find a sinister devil. If you guys are looking for one, you better be prepared to grind out for a long haul!”
She hadn’t discovered a sinister devil in more than a year!?
Everyone was dumbfounded.
They knew that sinister devils were quite rare in the Abyss of Evil, but they didn’t know that they were this rare!
There were only less than twenty days left of their holidays…
“What disheartening news.” An Lin eximed in grief and indignation.
