Chapter 871: Exiting closed-door cultivation, facing the deep-sea snapping turtle chief
Roar!
The deep-sea snapping turtle chief roared in pain. This was the first time that he had been injured and suffered a loss in this battle.
This long spear, which had been filled with the power of flames, had directly penetrated his defensive sh.e.l.l. Furthermore, this was within the deep sea, surrounded by an endless amount of water attributed energy, in turn suppressing this flame spear. Otherwise, its power would have been even more shocking.
The blood of a Consolidation Realm expert splattered out, scattering in the depths of the ocean.
Although the attack failed to directly kill the deep-sea snapping turtle chief, it still made it very wary.
Already a Consolidation Realm master, this deep-sea snapping turtle chief was obviously no ordinary beast. It had already possessed wisdom comparable to humans.
It knew that this time, it couldn’t handle its opponent. Li Shou’s strength was completely above its own.
The two sides had been engaged in combat for several hours. During this process, it had tried every possible means to deal with Li Shou.
It had relied on the fact that the deep sea was its home. It exhausted all possible methods and relied on its powerful body to physically crush its opponent, only to always be obstructed by the opponent.
Although it was on its own turf, Li Shou was far more powerful, thus negating the home-field advantage.
Continuing to fight to the end would only result in a loss for both sides, and may even attract the attention of other overlords in the deep sea. When that happened, their battle would only benefit other parties.
The anger in the eyes of the deep-sea snapping turtle chief gradually faded at that thought. It regained its senses, roared as if giving a warning, and took a deep look at Li Shou before finally swimming towards the location of the spiritual eye.
Even if its nest was gone, it could still find a way to claim the nest of other deep-sea snapping turtles. Regardless, since it was already a Consolidation Realm master, those nests of deep-sea snapping turtles would all obey it. In time, they would form a huge kingdom of deep-sea snapping turtles far beyond the current scale.
There was no need to fight this human to the death here!
Now, Li Shou also understood the thoughts of the deep-sea snapping turtle chief; not only would the monster lose the battle, but it might even die. It would be better to leave the matter alone and prevent others to profit.
Li Shou immediately heaved a sigh of relief. If he had continued to fight with the deep-sea snapping turtle chief, both sides would’ve probably ended up grievously injured. The battle may even attract some other deep-sea overlord.
This scared both Li Shou and the deep-sea snapping turtle chief.
Suddenly, he heard a distant roar of anger from the deep-sea snapping turtle chief. It was as if it had encountered something that made it extremely angry.
He quickly followed along to see only to be immediately enraged as well.
This was because he had seen a figure here that made him grit his teeth with hatred. It was none other than Lu Xuan.
At the moment, Lu Xuan was sitting cross-legged on a spiritual eye with a calm expression, dressed in a fluttery white robe that made him look like an immortal.
“He didn’t even take the opportunity to run?”
Li Shou was a little stunned. He had been fighting the deep-sea snapping turtle chief for so long that he thought Lu Xuan would have already taken the opportunity to escape.
After such a long time and even across the vast deep sea, where would he have to go to find this needle in a haystack?
Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan hadn’t even run away. He immediately understood that instead of escaping, Lu Xuan was brazenly occupying the spiritual eye of the deep-sea snapping turtle’s nest.
It was different from how the Earth Federation consolidated and took in all spiritual eyes under their control.
In the Tempest Ocean Realm, it was normal and fully justified for a herd or a sect to occupy a spiritual eye.
It was like their Xuanhuo Sect, which had occupied a huge spiritual eye with endless spirit qi gushing out at every moment. This was precisely why they could meet the cultivation needs of the entire Xuanhuo Sect.
Otherwise, with so many masters in the Xuanhuo Sect, they would have long sucked up all the spirit qi in the surrounding regions. It was simply not enough for cultivation.
Of course, this spiritual eye could not compare with the giant spiritual eye that was occupied by the Xuanhuo Sect, but it was still the lifeblood of the hundreds of deep-sea snapping turtles in the vicinity.
Unfortunately, it was now occupied by Lu Xuan, so how could this deep-sea snapping turtle chief not go crazy?
What he didn’t know was that it was far more than just Lu Xuan occupying the spiritual eye and cultivating for a while.
During the time they were fighting, Lu Xuan had shockingly devoured in one go the spirit qi that the deep-sea snapping turtle nest had collected for hundreds of years, which the latter planned to use to consolidate its own cultivation and nourish its body.
Lu Xuan had taken all of it!
It could’ve been said that decades’ worth of hard work had been lost overnight.
Roar!
The deep-sea snapping turtle chief roared angrily. It could no longer feel the presence of liquefied spirit qi near the spiritual eye.
That was the result of hundreds of years of laborious collection, just so it could be used to break through it, but all of it had been released by this human thief.
It had never expected Lu Xuan to have completely absorbed the liquefied spirit qi; it a.s.sumed that this was an impossible task. Even it could not devour all the spirit qi in such a short period of time.
There was also the fact that this was all done by just a mere human, or rather two of them!
Encountering humans was its greatest misfortune today.
The nest had been completely killed, and even the liquefied spirit qi that had been acc.u.mulated over a century was all gone.
It was going to swallow this human!
The deep-sea snapping turtle chief was ferociously murderous, and it couldn’t wait to swallow Lu Xuan alive.
“This truly is karma!”
Li Shou looked from a distance and didn’t intend to intervene. After all, the deep-sea snapping turtle chief was already going to attack. In this deep sea, the deep-sea snapping turtle chief was just as powerful as him.
It was no different than him attacking!
Just in case something happened, however, he didn’t immediately leave. He wanted to watch this punk be swallowed alive in the mouth of the deep-sea snapping turtle chief. Only then would his hatred from being played be dispelled.
Li Shou sneered, “Today, you’ll never be able to escape even if you grow a pair of wings and try to fly away!”
On the front line, there was the deep-sea snapping turtle chief that wanted his life. But just to be on the safe side, he decided to serve as the second ring of encirclement.
Lu Xuan would’ve found it difficult to escape even if he was given wings.
In his gaze, Lu Xuan, who was already a dead person, opened his eyes and looked at the behemoth that had come before him.
What surprised Li Shou was that Lu Xuan’s expression did not change, as if the one he was facing was just a neighbor’s pet.
Roar!
The deep-sea snapping turtle chief roared and instantly attacked. Countless water bombs formed a terrifying barrage, carpet bombing in Lu Xuan’s direction.
However, Li Shou was surprised by what had just happened. He had personally experienced the overwhelming attack of water bombs, and any one of them could blow up a mountain. When all these attacks fell towards Lu Xuan’s surroundings, it created a terrifying explosion.
After the aftershock dissipated, Lu Xuan was miraculously unscathed with his usual stony expression!
