Chapter 336: Hunting the Mystic Tortoise (Two in One)
Tens of thousands of elite soldiers in military formation clashed repeatedly with the Heavenly Demon Black Tortoise.
The fierce battle continued relentlessly.
Chen Mu and Murong Yan, standing over ten miles apart, concealed their presence and observed the battle. However, as time slowly passed, the foreign race's military formation never exposed any flaws, maintaining a defensive stance throughout, leaving Chen Mu no opportunity to strike.
What he most wanted to see was to cooperate with the Black Tortoise to annihilate this batch of foreign elite altogether, exploiting their battle to inflict heavy damage on the Black Tortoise, and ultimately to capture it as well, which would undoubtedly represent a huge gain.
However, that was merely the ideal scenario.
Now, with the Wu Gu Marquis gone and no return, the foreign race remained on high alert. Thus, he found no suitable opportunity to strike and did not act rashly, merely observing the situation from a distance and waiting for the right moment.
However, the battle continued intensely, and nearly an hour later, the foreign military formation still maintained its defensive stance. It was the Heavenly Demon Black Tortoise that gradually began showing signs of weakening.
After all,
despite being a Ninth Rank Heavenly Demon, the Black Tortoise had been imprisoned by the Sky Demon Sect for over a hundred years, with its demon qi and demon blood constantly extracted. When it freed itself, it was already in a weakened state. After a great battle with the foreign military formation, its demonic power and Qi were further depleted.
But it seemed that this depletion gradually caused a change in the Black Tortoise; the blood vessels densely packed in its huge, bell-like demon pupils began to retract, and its savage ferocity slowly calmed down.
Finally,
After another collision with the foreign military formation, the Black Tortoise issued a somewhat painful roar.
It was as if a person losing their reason gradually regained a trace of sanity along with that painful roar, causing the earth to shake and tremble as it struck the ground with its head.
When the Black Tortoise raised its mountain-like head again, its massive body no longer charged at the foreign military formation, but instead, a trace of ferocity leaked from the blood vessels in its demon pupils and it slowly retreated a step backwards with its four legs.
Boom!!!
Seeing that the foreign military formation made no significant moves, the Black Tortoise finally turned its head and fled far away with its massive body.
"Has it regained its senses...?"
Upon seeing this, Wu Gu Marquis's face instantly darkened, and he raised the Command Flag, mobilizing the power of the military formation. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire
Since Wu Gu Marquis had yet to return, he indeed did not dare to use the military formation to trap the Black Tortoise. Now that the Black Tortoise seemed to have regained some sanity and chose to retreat rather than dead-lock with the military formation, he clearly would not easily let the Black Tortoise escape.
However, having not initiated the military formation to trap the beast at the start, he was also too late to mobilize the military formation to encircle it now, especially since even the most elite military formation consisted of soldiers who were at the Tendon Changing and Bone Tempering stage and could not match the speed of a Heavenly Demon like the Black Tortoise. Even though it was the slowest moving, it was still a Heavenly Demon after all.
"Attack!"
Wu Gu Marquis shouted loudly.
The entire force of the military formation suddenly transformed. Previously like an impenetrable tortoise shell, the surging power of the military formation was now, under his command, solidifying and intertwining in the sky, gathering into a majestic War Spear tens of feet long, bursting in crimson bloodlight, with surging battle intent and murderous aura solidified within.
Then, as he waved his Command Flag forward, the War Spear, which had gathered the entire military formation's power, instantly pierced the air, accompanied by an almost earth-shattering momentum, and thrust towards the fleeing Heavenly Demon Black Tortoise.
"Roar!!!"
The Black Tortoise felt the military formation's power attacking from behind. The spear, which gathered the strength of tens of thousands of elites, hundreds at the Five Organ and Viscera Realm, and even several Grandmasters, could not compare in refinement to a true Blood Exchange Realm, but with force breaking skill and quantity overcoming strength, it was still a notable blow for the Black Tortoise.
Mainly because it was indeed massive and slow-moving, and it could not easily dodge at this distance.
Accompanied by a roaring growl,
the Black Tortoise suddenly stomped heavily on the ground with its hind legs, instantly shattering the ground and spurting waves of water. In these waters, it violently swung its long tail, launching a sharp aerial strike that laterally whipped at the incoming giant War Spear.
Like a shadowy tail swipe, compared to its enormous and clumsy body, the speed was unbelievably fast, almost invisible to the eye, rising instantly in the air, and striking laterally against the crimson majestic War Spear.
Crack!!!
Accompanied by a piercingly sharp whip-like sound that resounded through the heavens.
Though the War Spear gathered tremendous power, in terms of the intensity of force, it was far inferior to the Black Tortoise's tail swipe, and was smashed in half right down the middle!
But the military formation's power was also extraordinary, and though the War Spear snapped in the middle, its front half still maintained some momentum, piercing forward and finally striking towards the Black Tortoise's giant shell.
Boom!
Like striking a bronze bell, it made ears buzz, also accompanied by a painful roar from the Black Tortoise as its back shell was forcibly pierced by the half War Spear, penetrating nearly ten feet inside!
Since this crimson War Spear was merely a dematerialized object condensed from the military formation's power, after breaking through the Black Tortoise's shell and causing a wound, it quickly faded and vanished, leaving a visible blood hole on the spine of the Black Tortoise.
After this strike,
The Black Tortoise hesitated no more, pushed off powerfully with its four legs, and its mountainous body swiftly fled into the distance, in the blink of an eye, leaving only a blurry shadow behind.
