Today's fourth update: Chapter 3072! 4/4!
The destruction of the Bi-Su Guard had not caused any substantive obstruction to this Huang vanguard personally commanded by Xu Kun.
Although Xuan Bai and Xuan Liao had resorted to a secret art that burned their own lifespan in order to slay enemy generals before the lines, it had merely left their vitality somewhat depleted and had not harmed their foundations.
The brilliance of the forbidden secret art Ode to the Tortoise, which Xu Kun had tailored specifically for them, lay precisely in this.
As the saying went, "A turtle lives a thousand years, a tortoise ten thousand." When it came to abundant and enduring lifespans, few races in the world could compare to the Black Tortoise Race.
The same lifespan-burning method might be a desperate, near-fatal technique for creatures of other races, but for Black Tortoise Race experts such as Xuan Bai and Xuan Liao, the price they paid was far less severe than outsiders imagined. It could hardly even be called truly risking their lives.
If they wished, they could still use this technique many times in the future. The explosive combat power and strategic gains it brought far outweighed the loss of that portion of their lifespan.
Being able to personally slay the leader of the Bi-Su Guard, whom they had once needed to look up to in awe, not only greatly relieved the resentment that had long weighed on their hearts, but also made them keenly realize—they had followed the right person and done the right thing!
Without Xu Kun's devoted cultivation and the support of Huang resources, they could never have possessed the strength to rival, much less kill, the leader of the Bi-Su Guard even if they spent their entire lives striving for it!
All of this
