“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 !?”
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 flashed through the air at high speed.
Rumble!
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 mont, Da Bai used his claws to produce extrely sharp white blades of wind.
The blades 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 remained completely unhard.
The huge black tortoise spat a black mist into the air again.
The huge red tortoise also spat out a vast stream of fire at this mont, combining with the black mist to form a dark red blazing dragon which flew toward everyone.
Everyone hurriedly activated their movent techniques and dispersed to dodge the attack.
The ground beca charred and corroded black as the blazing dragon passed through.
“Are these two giant tortoises a husband and wife duo? They could even use combination moves!” An Lin stared at the black trench dragged out by the blazing dragon with fear lingering in his eyes.
Xu Xiaolan wielded her longsword at this mont and slashed out a fla sword slash imbued with the essence of fire.
The sword slash struck the black tortoise, the explosion of flas enveloping an area of a hundred feet in radius in a sea of fire.
“Tsss, tsss…”
Black mist broke through the flas before flying toward Xu Xiaolan.
Xu Xiaolan’s expression changed drastically as she imdiately evaded using her movent technique.
The huge black tortoise rushed out of the sea of flas, completely unhard 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.
Boom!
Xiao Chou felt as if he had struck a solid block of steel, the force from their clash 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 exclaid in his retreat.
“Let try!” An Lin wielded the Evil-Slaying Sword as he charged toward the red tortoise.
The red tortoise imdiately spat out a stream of flas when it detected An Lin’s approach.
The flas swept toward him like a giant wave, bringing with it insanely scorching heat.
A strong wind suddenly whipped up at this mont, tearing into the flas 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 ans and with that, it could also detect a threatening sense of danger.
It imdiately began to withdraw its head back into its shell.
“You want to retreat like a coward? It’s too late!” An Lin roared.
The Evil-Slaying Sword was suddenly encapsulated in a white stream of wind, before flying toward the tortoise like lightning.
First technique, Wind Sword!
Slash!
Thin white lines appeared on the tortoise’s neck, forming an indistinct ring.
The black tortoise, which was being contained by Xiao Chou and Xu Xiaolan, looked out of the corner of its eyes toward An Lin and was also greatly startled by An Lin’s terrifying sword technique.
Boom!
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 extrely fast technique, but its flaws were also quite apparent, mainly embodied through the fact that it was lacking in destructive power.
However, the extre sharpness of the Evil-Slaying Sword perfectly compensated for this flaw, transforming the Wind Sword Technique into an extrely fearso 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-Slaying Sword and charged toward the other tortoise.
“An Lin, when did your swordsmanship beco so powerful!?”
Xu Xiaolan exclaid in surprise after witnessing An Lin slay the giant red tortoise.
“I’m a genius, please refer to as Sword Immortal An Lin from now on!”
An Lin laughed triumphantly as he charged toward the black tortoise.
The black tortoise had already sensed the red tortoise’s death, so it imdiately withdrew its head into its shell in fear.
An Lin slashed his sword toward the opening where the tortoise head had retracted into, only to find that a layer of cuticle substance had sealed up the opening and the even the Evil-Slaying Sword was only able to make a light scratch onto the material.
A huge cloud of black mist subsequently began to erupt from the black tortoise’s body, forcing An Lin into retreat.
Xu Xiaolan and Da Bai’s attacks fell on the giant tortoise at this mont.
The attacks pierced through the black mist before striking the tortoiseshell with a resounding boom, but the black tortoise was like an immovable mountain.
anwhile, the clouds of black mist began to pounce toward everyone, as if with a mind of its own.
The black 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 black 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 Xiaolan asked unwillingly.
A crisp voice sounded at this ti.
“Lightning Manipulation Technique of The Divine Sword!”
A bolt of white lightning with a diater comparable 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 black tortoiseshell.
Boom!
Lightning flashed and white streams of electricity began to flow through the tortoise shell like a myriad of small white snakes.
The black tortoise howled in anguish, involuntarily extending its head under the force of the lightning strike.
“Luo Yan Slash!”
A white-robed woman descended from the sky, her longsword flashing down in a powerful slashing motion.
Splash!
The head of the tortoise fell onto the ground as blood sprayed everywhere.
After completing the slash, 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 Xiaolan called out thankfully.
“Don’t ntion 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 explained.
Xiao Chou imdiately ca to a realization upon hearing the woman’s explanation. 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 slash 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 na 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 extrely dangerous place, why have you guys co 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 extrely 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 Xiaolan 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 exclaid in grief and indignation.
