"What are you waiting for? Get out of here!"
Jiang Fan frowned slightly; he could tell that the Little Turtle intended to stay and fight to the death.
He could see through it, but he couldn't understand it. He had already explained to the Little Turtle that he could only tell that kind of lie in front of the Pope.
Moreover, seeing the Little Turtle's expression, he believed his story and realized he shouldn't have sacrificed himself for it.
In that brief moment of distraction, the two paths that had been cleared by the jets of snot were once again filled by swarms of flying insects.
Seeing this, the Little Turtle glared at Jiang Fan with a look of disappointment.
"I can only do it one more time. If you hesitate any longer, I might not die, but you will definitely perish here."
After saying that, the Little Turtle took a deep breath, its belly bulging, clearly about to have a big one.
However, the flying insects weren't stupid either; they frantically flapped their wings and relentlessly blocked the Little Turtle's nostrils.
"Damn it! Damn! Lord Turtle nose is so itchy and numb! You guys have no sportsmanship!"
"Bang!" The explosion rang out from the Little Turtle's nostrils, followed by a series of crackling and booming sounds.
Thick smoke, accompanied by flashes of lightning, billowed continuously from the Little Turtle's nostrils.
Is this a self-destruction?
A flying insect exploded inside the Little Turtle's nostril?!
Jiang Fan looked at the Little Turtle, whose nostrils, mouth, ears, and eyes were all oozing blood, and clenched his fists in anxiety.
In the blink of an eye, the flying insects burrowed into the body through the nostrils and continued to self-destruct.
Even through his belly, Jiang Fan could clearly see the fireworks exploding continuously.
Even if the Little Turtle is Divine Beast, it can't withstand this kind of abuse!
"You all, die, you Lord Turtle!"
The Little Turtle roared, a deafening roar that seemed to shake the heavens and earth.
What followed was a deafening explosion of Dao Source energy, forcing the flying insects to flee in panic, utterly disheveled.
Finally, having driven away all the flying insects from its body, the Little Turtle went limp and plummeted downwards.
Jiang Fan reacted quickly, using his Psychic Power to support the Little Turtle's body and rushing over immediately.
How are you?
The Little Turtle wanted to roll its eyes, but in its current condition, even lifting its eyelids was a struggle.
"I told you to leave, but you wouldn't. Now, I can't stop you from leaving."
Actually, it's not that there's really no way.
Before Jiang Fan could respond, the Little Turtle gritted its teeth, as if it had made up its mind.
"I'm going to suck them all into my stomach in one gulp before I self-destruct. I'll delay the explosion for a few seconds, so use that opening to run as far away as you can! This is my last resort, understand?"
"What?"
Jiang Fan was shocked, "You're going to self-destruct? You—"
Is it going to die for him?
Meeting Jiang Fan's subtly trembling pupils, the Little Turtle felt incredibly awkward.
Having known each other for so long, it's always either arguing or on its way to arguing, so this sudden emotional outburst is something it genuinely can't handle.
"Don't get too sentimental. I won't die for anyone else before I find my true master."
"So what are you doing?"
Jiang Fan also felt awkward.
The Little Turtle continued to transmit its voice, "When you humans reach a certain level of strength, you will comprehend the Law Domain. We demon beasts are the same. My Law Domain is Destruction and Rebirth. To put it simply, after I self-destruct, I will form a domain of a certain size, and all living beings within the domain will become nourishment for my rebirth."
"Then wouldn't you be immortal?!"
Jiang Fan was greatly shocked.
"Of course, there are drawbacks too, okay? In fact, most Law Domain have drawbacks. Some have acceptable costs, while others are quite terrifying. They would never be used unless absolutely necessary," the Little Turtle said.
Hearing this, Jiang Fan belatedly realized why the Little Turtle and the Pope had fought so fiercely, yet neither of them had used their Law Domain.
So what are the downsides for the Little Turtle?
"Alright, no more nonsense, get ready--"
As the Little Turtle spoke, it struggled to its feet. Just as it was about to move, it suddenly froze and couldn't move at all.
Jiang Fan was also unable to move.
What's going on?!
Jiang Fan was shocked, and then he heard the Little Turtle cursing.
"Holy shit! This thing actually has the power of Law, and it's completely Stillness!"
It wasn't that the Little Turtle was careless; it simply hadn't expected that a group of flying insects attached to the black panther Saint Beast would also possess the power of Law.
Just as the Little Turtle was cursing its father, the swarm of flying insects closed in on the encirclement at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this rate, Jiang Fan would probably be dead in less than a breath, leaving not even a trace.
The situation left Jiang Fan no time to think further.
System! Your trump card! Quick!
[Yes, Master]
As the system's cheerful voice faded, Jiang Fan's pupils instantly lost their light and became unfocused.
The Little Turtle witnessed this scene and became extremely anxious. Had the flying insect used some special method to obliterate Jiang Fan's soul?
If that's really the case, then Jiang Fan—
Before the thought could even finish, Jiang Fan slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes, as calm as still water, were filled with indifference.
That's right, it's indifference, ignoring everything, calm and composed, as if nothing in this world can stir up even the slightest ripple.
Jiang Fan is usually able to remain calm in the face of adversity, but his demeanor is completely different from what he is displaying now.
Jiang Fan now gives the impression that he was always meant to be in that position, and that nothing in the world should have caught his eye.
However, what shocked the Little Turtle was not only this sudden change, but also --
A sense of familiarity!
An indescribable sense of familiarity!!!
"Knock knock knock--"
Unbeknownst to them, the Little Turtle's heart began to beat faster and faster uncontrollably.
It stared at Jiang Fan with its two round, beady eyes, not blinking, and even forgot to breathe.
The next second, it saw Jiang Fan slowly raise his hand.
It moved!
He moved!
He actually moved!
Keep in mind that it can't move yet, and even though it's severely injured, it's still Divine Beast!
Jiang Fan was merely a Martial Artist had just advanced to the Early-Stage Fifth Rank...
Jiang Fan looked at his hands, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Not bad, your strength has improved a lot compared to last time."
After speaking, as if remembering something, she tilted her head slightly, her dark pupils moving gently as her gaze fell on the Little Turtle.
The moment their eyes met, the Little Turtle froze, staring at the brat he used to scold and tease. Gradually, the image of the elegant, white-robed, and ethereal young man with flowing black hair began to overlap with the person before him.
Although they look different, the familiar look in their eyes and the relaxed smile on their lips are strikingly similar!
