The negotiations suddenly reached an impasse.
Ehuang's aura turned icy, and turmoil churned within her. Not only had Cao Jinxing refused to yield to her threats, he had even discovered her weakness!
How was she supposed to keep negotiating now?
Was she really going to use force?
Leaving aside the fact that Cao Jinxing possessed a forbidden art, once he unleashed the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Great Art, even she could not stop him.
Even if she deployed the remaining puppets and Yan Armor aboard the ship to protect the giant clam and managed to stop him, the casualties would be devastating, only making her plan harder to carry out...
As for Cao Jinxing, he genuinely did not care.
Especially after seeing the Living Dead inside that enormous clam aboard the Yuzhang, he feared her so-called threats even less.
Divine Beasts were not to be trifled with.
Ehuang had neither a second [Kunlun Sword] nor a [Celestial Star Formation Diagram] capable of trapping a Divine Beast...
Even if she had the [Kunlun Sword], could it pierce the Black Tortoise's Turtle Shell?
The Black Tortoise already had the strongest defense among Divine Beasts. This innate ability was even tougher than the Qilin's protective "mountain qi." It was also the largest of them all, its Turtle Shell as thick and heavy as a mountain. Even if the Kunlun Sword could pierce its armor, it could not reach anything vital!
Blood from the tip of its heart was out of the question. Piercing its Turtle Shell and reaching its heart was simply impossible!
By comparison, knocking off a piece of its Turtle Shell at least left room for planning. Perhaps the Black Tortoise's Turtle Shell had aged and had softer spots? Or perhaps, like the Qilin, it shed parts of itself naturally? But
