Chapter 38

North Sea Black Turtle

I dare not move!

I dare not move!

On horseback, Luo Chen's body was stiff, letting the horse run on its own.

My thoughts raced through my mind.

This great demon appears to be seriously injured.

Between being conscious and in a coma.

A heavily wounded demon landed on this tributary.

The answer seems obvious.

"senior!"

"are you still there?"

"What are your orders?"

Luo Chen asked cautiously and softly.

Xiao Xiuzhu, who was ahead, did not notice anything unusual, as his mind was still immersed in the pressure brought by the dragon.

In response to Luo Chen's question.

The turtle's tightly closed eyes opened slightly.

These are eyes the size of mung beans, filled with a glimmer of wisdom and experience.

The man and the turtle locked eyes for a fleeting moment.

An old, weary voice appeared in Luo Chen's mind.

"I am Li Changsheng, and I hope you will protect me for a while... I will surely repay you handsomely!"

Before the black tortoise could finish speaking, it closed its eyes again.

Luo Chen looked at the Xuan Turtle that had fallen asleep again on his shoulder and blinked twice.

"Senior Li! Senior Li!"

No matter how he called out, the black tortoise did not respond.

Luo Chen's gaze lingered on the shell on the back of the Xuan Turtle, lost in thought.

This little blue turtle is definitely not what it looks like.

To be able to beat a powerful demon in the Nirvana Realm to this extent.

It seems that only the White Dragon River Lord of the Dragon Palace could be the answer.

Luo Chen tightened the golden scales around his waist, his eyes filled with thought.

He wondered if he could break through the turtle's defenses if he went all out.

It's highly unlikely to work.

He dared not try, for no one could predict what trump cards a being who had lived for over five thousand years might possess.

Wow, nearly 20,000 years of lifespan!

As expected of a great demon known for its longevity.

Ordinary Nirvana-transforming demons only have a lifespan of five to eight thousand years.

They realized that the black tortoise was only seeking protection.

Luo Chen thought for a moment, then reached out and gently placed the little turtle from his shoulder into his sleeve.

"I am but a tiny mystic, how can I protect you?"

For a moment, he considered throwing away the Xuan Turtle.

That's unrealistic. He was afraid he'd be slapped to death for no reason if he offended a powerful demon of the fifth realm.

but.

If Ao Sheng finds out, Shangguan Changyue might not be able to protect herself.

Luo Chen was filled with worry.

What is so special about me that the Xuan Turtle would take a liking to me?

Luo Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

The aura of time.

Although he grasped this by chance, its essence is extremely profound!

One can conceal one's own secrets and karma under the passage of time.

That was all Luo Chen could think of.

After thinking about it, I gritted my teeth.

The "Scroll of Time" was in full operation, and a wisp of the energy of time fell into the Xuan Turtle, concealing its secrets and aura.

"I hope the compensation you're offering is worth the risks I've taken."

Luo Chen's expression returned to normal, and he followed behind Xiao Xiuzhu.

The two parted ways as they passed through a village.

Luo Chen returned to the camp he had set up on the hill near the fishing village.

Wang Yue and others were already waiting.

Upon seeing Luo Chen approach, the five quickly came to his side and stood still.

"Now that the river is blocked, many villagers will inevitably go down to the riverbed to fish. We can't stop them, but we must follow behind them to protect them."

Luo Chen gave the order.

"You should visit all five villages nearby."

"yes!"

The five men accepted the order in unison.

Luo Chen thought for a moment and then added.

"Avoid conflict with the aquatic creatures; if you see them passing by, immediately lead the villagers away."

Seeing that he had nothing more to add.

After resting for a while, the five demon-suppressing envoys began to disperse and leave.

Luo Chen sighed, gazing at the dried-up riverbed below, where countless aquatic creatures struggled in despair.

The villagers were initially quite frightened by the dried-up riverbed.

But after a few hours, they had overcome their fear.

They were scrambling to drag the plump fish through the mud.

While Luo Chen was deep in thought, waiting for Shangguan Changyue's instructions.

A loud shout rang out in the distance.

It meanders near the village.

All the villagers in the village below, who were living in the riverbed, looked in horror at a tall, upright figure slowly walking upstream.

Luo Chen stood up and said with a light laugh.

"Brother Ao Yuan, how have you been?"

Ao Yuan walked over step by step, this time alone.

He carried a large, black hammer on his shoulder and grinned, revealing a ferocious smile.

"Who the hell is your brother? Hand over my inner core!"

Ao Yuan was very arrogant because he had gained confidence.

Even within the territory of the Demon Suppression Division, he feared no one.

Especially this kid.

Previously, I was merely wary.

But at this moment, he feared no one.

"Isn't your inner core located in your abdomen?"

Luo Chen looked completely innocent, shrugged, and indicated that he hadn't.

"A quick-witted human boy."

Ao Yuan's face was grim. He leaped high into the air and landed on the hill.

It created a large crater in front of Luo Chen.

Earth and rocks flew everywhere.

The smoke and dust in the center suddenly scattered rapidly in all directions.

A massive wolf-tooth hammer, accompanied by a fierce wind, hurtled straight toward Luo Chen.

Ao Yuan gripped the iron handle of the giant hammer, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

"You little devil captain, you've obstructed me time and time again. Today I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget."

For the past month, he had truly hated Luo Chen.

If it weren't for the trace of dragon blood flowing through my veins, I wouldn't have survived.

I thought of the things that made me feel frustrated.

Ao Yuan's killing intent gradually surged, and he couldn't help but increase the force in his hands.

Seeing the powerful and heavy blow, Luo Chen did not choose to take it head-on.

The figure retreated rapidly, heading away from the village.

He looked exactly like someone who was fleeing in a disheveled state.

Ao Yuan laughed wildly, the silver scales on his forehead shimmering like water.

With a single step, he leaped high into the air once more, soaring towards Luo Chen.

"The Great Perfection of the Mysterious Aperture".

The scenery around Luo Chen rushed past him.

Fifteen minutes later,

The two arrived at a mountain forest, one after the other.

Luo Chen stopped, drew his golden scales, and calmly looked at Ao Yuan, who was following closely behind.

This gaze made Ao Yuan's eyelids twitch.

But in an instant, he was replaced by rage.

He leaped into the air, swung the giant hammer in his hand, and poured his terrifying demonic power down.

A huge hammer phantom was formed in mid-air.

Luo Chen smiled, and a holy Buddhist light seemed to rise behind him, but a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face.

Its whole body shone with golden light, its golden scales pointing to the sky, transforming into a sky full of true energy.

The sky full of true energy transformed into a long blade, sweeping across with Yin and Yang true energy.

boom!

The giant hammer and the longsword collided, transforming into countless vortexes of qi and demonic energy that spread in all directions.

Luo Chen reached out and summoned the scattered Yin-Yang True Qi, which slowly rotated and formed a powerful array around Ao Yuan.

Ao Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He looked around and gave Luo Chen a familiar smile.

"Brother Luo Chen, it's a misunderstanding!"

In his heart, he thought it was a pervert.

He had never seen such true energy before, which could instantly annihilate his demonic power.

Also, why are all the humans so old-fashioned?

He carefully examined Luo Chen's cultivation level again and clearly sensed the strength of his Blood Qi.

But looking at the sky filled with the array of true qi.

Ao Yuan has become withdrawn!
