Chapter 704: The Turtle That Chases Life (3k)
“The contract is made…”
Glancing up at the Rotating Turtle in the sky, Sheqi smiled faintly. His body trembled slightly, leaving behind afterimages. The next moment, he shot towards the sky like a launched fireball, his speed exceptionally fast. Only trails of fire could be seen.
A wave of heat descended from above. The falling rain turned into mist, evaporating with a “sizzle.”
“Fujino, what are you doing?”
The experts from the Kamidai Family present looked astonished. They didn’t know what this direct descendant was thinking as he flew towards the god-like colossal being like a moth to a flame.
“Don’t go.”
The middle-aged man from before frowned and tried to get up to stop him, but Kamishiro Yuichi raised his hand to block him. The latter narrowed his eyes and looked at the sky, muttering to himself:
“Don’t you realize yet? Fujino is not the Fujino he used to be. His aura and demeanor are nothing like that loser’s.”
“Yuichi, are you saying… he’s been possessed?”
The middle-aged man trembled slightly and turned to look at Kamishiro Yuichi, his eyes filled with surprise and fear. It was a very serious matter for a direct descendant to be possessed.
“When we go back this time, we must be careful of the Former Patriarch’s lineage. They might not even be themselves anymore…”
Kamishiro Yuichi gave the other person a serious look, his eyes filled with thought. As if remembering something, his face, which had been pale from his injury, became even paler…
His palms were already starting to sweat. If only the Former Patriarch were acting strangely, it could be explained by the influence of the armor, but this was a completely different matter—
That useless nephew had also undergone a bizarre change.
“No need to go back and say anything.”
A voice familiar to Kamishiro Yuichi sounded from behind him. Blue flames shot out from the corner of his eye, and then he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. He quickly looked down and saw a slender, bloody hand passing through his abdomen…
In his palm was his still-beating heart, as if praying for the end of life.
Another middle-aged man, who was War God Level, quickly pulled back and flew into the air, his gaze fixed downwards, his eyes revealing a look of horror:
“You’re the Little Princess of the Fujiwara family?! How could you have the strength to approach us so silently?”
“Her physical body has been returned. As for me, this Grand Commander Onmyoji did something that deserved death. Someone wants him to die with dignity.”
At this moment, a young girl’s playful and charming voice echoed in Kamishiro Yuichi’s ears. Although it was enchanting, it gave him an inexplicable chill…
Oh, it was a physical chill. He felt his already injured body become as heavy as lead, making it difficult to move, and fatigue flooded his mind.
He glanced at the three War Gods in front of him who had instantly widened the distance between them, looking at the apprehension in their eyes, and felt a strange chill. He exhaled a bloody breath, as if using his last strength, and asked the person behind him:
“Who… exactly are you?”
“The Divine Blood plan should be canceled. As for me…”
Wei chuckled, then suddenly clenched his hand. Several phantom images of monsters with different forms behind him shot towards the three War Gods. Their speed was so great that the Initial Stage Battle Gods couldn’t resist.
Wei chuckled again, took a step forward, and slowly merged into the cold body. Kamishiro Yuichi’s face softened, a cold smile appearing on his lips, and a clear, neutral voice sounded:
“An executor, an executor who sweeps away those who disobey the Honored One.”
This happened in an instant. The pirates who were escaping barely noticed this. Only Whitebeard noticed, and he was horrified to discover that after these mysterious people killed the Kamidai group, they had completely attached themselves to their respective bodies.
“You don’t need to worry. We will only kill those who attempt to do anything untoward to the Young Lady. The promise will still be fulfilled.”
Wei turned to Whitebeard and comforted him with a light laugh. As he approached, a crackling sound emanated from his body, and his face and physique completely transformed into Wei’s appearance.
Kamishiro Yuichi, thus, completely perished from the world.
At this moment, Su Jiu and the others had already left the island and were on the sea, summoning their spirit beasts and preparing to escape the island that was about to be engulfed in a major battle.
“Is that Rotating Turtle looking at me?”
While summoning E Huo and waiting for it to become “big big,” she seemed to feel something and looked up, seeing gusts of wind coming towards her. In the sky illuminated by flames,
A pair of scarlet eyes swept towards them.
…
“This island belongs to our descendants. Rotating Turtle, retreat quickly!”
In the sky, Sheqi and the Rotating Turtle stared at each other from a distance. His figure manifested as a Scarlet God Giant, with a human body and a snake tail. Although not even one-tenth the size of the Rotating Turtle, it exuded an imposing aura.
“Sheqi, your physical body is suppressed by Amaterasu. With only your soul, you are no longer the general of yesteryear…”
Withdrawing its gaze from below, the Rotating Turtle moved its neck, which resembled a towering ancient tree, and faced forward, staring at the “youth” in front of it with great amusement. A voice like thunderous music suddenly rang out in the sky:
“What qualifications do you have to make me not avenge my descendants?”
Air currents churned in the sky, as if extinguishing the flames. The commotion on the sea was even greater, the pressure causing huge waves to surge and crash against the island’s energy shield, sounding like “dong dong dong!!” drumbeats.
Tsunamis, soaring air pressure, and shattering glass gave a sense of despair, as if the end of the world was nigh.
Sheqi stood high in the sky, his gaze calm. In his hand, he held a flaming long saber, wrapped in swirling snake-like flames. His expression was placid:
“It wreaked havoc in the era of the human race and was slain by humans. It brought this upon itself. If you remain stubborn, the Honored One will not mind cutting you down to give those human experts a token of their allegiance.”
“Heh heh, Honored One? Humph, back then, the Great Serpent had the strength to approach the nation-suppressing level, which earned our respect as a Great God. Now, after so many years, how much strength can it have?” The Rotating Turtle’s gaze fell upon him, its eyes filled with mockery. Its voice, like a great bell, once again resonated through the world:
“Perhaps not even at the Walker level?”
Hearing this, Sheqi showed no other expression. He was indeed no match for the other party now, so he was waiting for that person to descend here…
“The Yamata no Orochi was actually a strong being close to the nation-suppressing level!”
With a leap, Su Jiu landed on the dragon’s back. She twisted around and looked towards the sky from afar, her green silk hair fluttering in the wind, her eyes revealing a hint of shock.
Walker level, as the name suggests, is the pinnacle of War God, moving freely throughout the world without restraint. The old Rotating Turtle, being a semi-Walker, could possess the defense and destructive power of a Walker level with its massive body.
As for the nation-suppressing level, it was an even more mysterious apex of the pyramid, a realm beyond Su Jiu’s current reach. Before, she had seen it as something ethereal, but she never expected it to actually exist…
“Heh heh, I smell something more interesting.”
As if sensing the departure of what it craved, a gleam flashed in the Rotating Turtle’s eyes. Its massive body suddenly stirred and charged forward, its huge shell creating massive splashes of water.
Facing the inertial impact of its mountain-like size, Sheqi dared not block it with his body and could only flash to the side, following it closely. His long saber attempted to stop it…
“What happened? Is this damn turtle not obeying orders?”
Wei also came to his side and asked impatiently. The two followed the massive Rotating Turtle like wingmen, leaving intersecting blue and red streaks across the sky.
Sheqi gripped his long saber tightly. The blade scraped against the Rotating Turtle’s body, emitting intense sparks, “Zzla—”. However, it only left a white mark on the tough skin. He replied softly:
“This turtle hid in the South China Sea of the Dragon Country to avoid the reckoning back then. Relying on its long life and intact physical body, it had long ceased to regard the Honored One with respect…”
Wei’s eyes narrowed, and he sneered:
“Heh heh, an old turtle that only returned after being driven away by Ba Xia. It can only be arrogant because of its physical body.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei conjured a ball of flames in his palm and threw it towards the turtle’s leg. It intertwined with Sheqi’s red flames.
The next moment, “sizzle sizzle” sounds echoed continuously, and a scent of roasted meat quietly wafted through as they moved at high speed.
“Roar!! This foxy bitch, she deserves to die!”
The Rotating Turtle cried out in pain, its massive head revealing fierce eyes. It immediately stomped its foot, and water waves accompanied by ice crystals spread out from its center. The powerful gusts of energy dispersed the clouds in the sky.
Behind the two, the light of laws appeared. They relied on the laws to support a thick external energy shield, yet they were still pushed back hundreds of meters by the impact. The advantage of its massive size was simply too great.
“What is it craving?”
The two watched the Rotating Turtle fly further and further away from the island, exchanging glances filled with confusion…
“Not good, it wants to chase the Great God’s Essence Blood. That Essence Blood is on Miss Su.”
After a moment of thought, a realization struck Wei, and he shouted loudly, charging after it, his eyes filled with seriousness.
“We absolutely cannot let it get it, otherwise it might directly advance to the Walker level.”
Hearing this, Sheqi said nothing. The Scarlet Flame saber in his hand, imbued with dense external flame energy, flashed towards the sky…
…
Gray clouds covered the sky, and it was raining heavily. The silver dragon body weaved through the mist like a flying shuttle, its speed even creating sonic booms.
The strong wind roared in the ears of the agile girl. Jiang Teng, who was chasing and leaping on the sea, let out mournful cries in the thunderstorm, making the entire sky above the ocean restless.
“You damn con artist! That monster is chasing us, hurry up, E Huo!”
Lin’s voice suddenly rang out. A small fox was perched on her head, its light purple eyes fixed behind her. She held the Ice Crystal Longbow tightly in one hand, and with the other, she nocked a long ice arrow, slowly drawing the bow…
