A fierce battle against the Mystic Turtle Demon King!
Clang--!
Sparks flew from the carapace, and another blade barely grazed the edge of the claw, leaving a white mark on the side of the neck.
Using the force of the recoil, Tie Yunyan slid backward, crossed her twin swords, and pressed forward again.
She didn't pay attention to where Yang Xiao had gone.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The blade flashed between the claws and neck scales, muffled thuds echoing through the mountain pass, scattering pebbles across the ground.
The Black Tortoise lay still, its left claw raised steadily, allowing her to chop and slash.
His gaze was fixed on the two flashes of light, his cloudy eyes calm and indifferent, carrying a sense of routine.
As long as Pei Xuance doesn't come, his Core Illumination Perfected Stage physique gives him the confidence to dominate Qingzhou!
Even if this woman comes for another sixty days, it will be the same.
On the other side of the mountain path, Yang Xiao walked slowly.
He circled around to the other side of the Black Tortoise, his steps neither hurried Breath Concealment, he was as still as a moving stone.
The Shadowless was already in his hand without him even realizing it.
As he walked, the force on his knife increased with each step.
The Slaying-Edge Gold Pattern preceded the movement, Metal Essence surged from the Mystic Core) and flowed into the blade.
A thin layer of External Golden Astral Aura then covered the blade, giving it a pale golden sheen.
The force that could shatter gold and break jade repeatedly folded into the blade's edge. Fearing he couldn't immediately shock the old tortoise, Yang Xiao pressed down harder and harder, finally adding the Army-Breaker at the tip.
The Metal Essence and the words were layered upon each other, all converged along the line of the dynasty's blade.
The Shadowless Blade was not reflective to begin with, and at this moment it swallowed all its sharpness into the blade, leaving only a very faint, distorted ripple around the edge, visible but untouchable.
Yang Xiao's gaze passed over the blade and landed on the other side of the Black Tortoise's shell.
He then lowered his shoulders, twisted his body, and took a step forward.
The accumulated power surged from his waist and back into his arms, then shot out along the blade, striking hard!
There was no metallic clang as the blade pierced the carapace.
There was only a very soft, crisp sound, like a crack appearing on the surface of ice in the dead of winter.
Click!
The force that could shatter gold and break jade didn't stop on the surface of the armor; it followed the blade's edge and penetrated into the shell, then exploded.
Bang--!
The carapace on the neck and shoulders of the Black Tortoise burst open.
One after another, the armor plates rose up and flew off, scattering fragments of armor all over the ground, revealing the grayish-white soft flesh underneath.
The Mystic Turtle Demon King was still parrying Tie Yunyan when he suddenly felt a chill on his shoulder and neck.
Six days have passed, Mystic Turtle Demon King has long since grown accustomed to that kind of half-hearted beating, so much so that he's too lazy to even lift his eyelids.
But this cut was different.
His cloudy eyes suddenly contracted, his pupils shrinking to a slit.
It turned its head and looked directly at the young man with the knife for the first time. He was wearing black armor and a red cloak, and held an inconspicuous black knife in his hand.
The opponent actually managed to break through its shell!?
The Mystic Turtle Demon King felt a chill run down his spine, and the indifferent expression he maintained instantly cracked, revealing the panic beneath.
This armor, Core Illumination Perfected Stage, should have been broken through by only Pei Xuance in Qingzhou.
But now there's one more.
Sensing an impending crisis, it suddenly turned sideways and crashed into the mountainside.
Boom--!
Half of the mountainside was smashed, and large rocks rolled down the slope, crashing into the mountain road and raising dust.
Tie Yunyan turned around, swung her twin swords, and sent a boulder that had rolled in front of her flying.
The boulder tumbled over and crashed into the ditch beside the road.
Her expression subtly changed as her gaze swept over the shattered shell on the Black Tortoise's shoulder.
Gold-Splitting Jade-Breaking Saber!
The fifth floor of the Technique Pavilion houses a highly regarded martial art within the Mystic Core school; no one among the Demon Suppression General is unaware of its name.
Cultivation is extremely difficult. First, one must have a foundation of Gold Pattern, then press the sharp power into the blade inch by inch. Once it hits, it will shatter the enemy's defense from within.
She remembered Lu Changgeng, who had chosen this sword Saber Technique, and practiced it for almost ten years before daring to say that he had reached the minor mastery level and could transfer it to his own sword.
How long has Yang Xiao been the Demon Suppression General?
How could it unleash such power!?
She hadn't expected that he would choose this martial art from the Technique Pavilion, and she was even more surprised by its smooth and skillful execution, clearly demonstrating a very high level of proficiency.
She continued to hold down the Black Tortoise, without stopping, only asking a question amidst the flashing blades.
"Is this a blade that Gold-Splitting Jade-Breaking Saber?"
"I've only been learning for a short time."
Yang Xiao spoke, his gaze still fixed on the fleeing Mystic Turtle Demon King.
"This doesn't seem like someone who's just started learning."
She spent six days hacking at this shell, but couldn't leave even an inch of white mark.
She knew better than anyone what kind of force could create such a crack that burst open from the inside out—it was far stronger than anything she could!
The Mystic Turtle Demon King moved all four legs at once, its escape speed was not slow at all. Tie Yunyan did not have time to talk to Yang Xiao for too long, and rushed forward with her crescent-shaped twin swords.
"I'll cover you, you continue!"
Tie Yunyan moved with agility and speed, her twin blades intercepting the Mystic Turtle Demon King's escape route.
One blade pressed down on the side of the neck, the other pressed towards the forward claw.
The Black Tortoise's neck got stuck halfway, and a muffled roar rolled out from its throat.
Yang Xiao followed up with his second strike.
It's still that same crack.
Click--!
The shockwaves, like Gold-Shattering Jade-Collapsing, flowed along the blade and penetrated deep into the carapace.
The cracks that had previously appeared spread in all directions, and the weak points underneath melted away as quickly as snow in spring when they touched the blades attached to the Golden Astral Force.
A huge bloody hole instantly appeared on the neck of the Mystic Turtle Demon King, almost cutting away a third of its neck flesh.
"Ah--!"
The Mystic Turtle Demon King let out a tremendous wail.
It's been six days, and this is the first time it's made a sound.
The roar echoed back and forth between the two rocky cliffs, causing boulders to fall down the slope in a flurry.
Fear flickered in its eyes.
Its massive body trembled violently, and even its fleeing steps became unsteady.
Tie Yunyan looked at the flesh and blood that had been cut away from the Mystic Turtle Demon King's shoulder and neck, and his neck that was almost drooping, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
It then subsided.
She adjusted her sword strikes, targeting the exposed joints of the Black Tortoise's forelimbs when it was crouching, continuing to harass it, all to create an opportunity for Yang Xiao to strike again.
The Mystic Turtle Demon King no longer fled.
It suddenly raised its head, flicked its neck, and opened its mouth to bite Yang Xiao. At the same moment, its left claw swept out with great force, the claw wind rushing towards Tie Yunyan.
Yang Xiao turned to the side.
A stench assaulted my face, and fangs, scraping against the red cloak, bit through empty air.
Tie Yunyan was forced back several steps by the claw wind. Because the distance was too close, a scratch was grazed on the shoulder of Xuanjia.
The Mystic Turtle Demon King had no intention of continuing the pursuit. It dug its four claws into the ground and moved its massive body into the mountains. Every step it took shook the mountain path, and dust fell from the rock walls on both sides.
In the blink of an eye, it had moved more than ten feet, and was about to crash into the shadows of the ravine.
It wants to run.
Yang Xiao Shadowless and retrieved the Army-Breaking Spear.
Slaying-Edge Gold Pattern emerged from the Mystic Core External Golden Astral Aura covered the spearhead, revealing a thin layer of golden light.
A point of blazing white Solar Flame condensed at the tip of the spear, the intent of Army-Breaker was fully contained within the spearhead.
All the strength in his body flowed through his waist, back, and arms, and was poured into the gun.
He stared at the completely split carapace.
Twist your waist, throw your spear!
The black and gold light tore through the air, catching up with the moving black hill at an extremely fast speed!
