Chapter 369: Chapter 365: Yunxi Strikes Again
"Turtle Egg, stop here." At the entrance to a valley, Lin Hao called for Turtle Egg to halt.
The valley was shaped like an open cloth sack, narrow at the mouth and surprisingly wide inside. Most importantly, there was a narrow gap at the other end. With Turtle Egg’s size, it could easily tear open the exit and retreat without a problem.
"What a fine burial ground," Turtle Egg couldn’t help but remark after observing the valley’s terrain.
Seeing the valley, Lin Hao’s intentions were obvious.
He was clearly planning to trap and kill the Martial Artists from the Mo Yun Kingdom.
Turtle Egg had just seen it clearly. In that city, several people had impressive cultivation levels, having already reached the Peak of the Elemental Realm.
Lin Hao obviously wanted to use them to temper himself and raise his cultivation level.
"She’s in your care." Inside the valley, Lin Hao leaped off Turtle Egg’s back. He spread his cloak on the ground, placed Yunxi’s body on it, and then walked toward the entrance.
For a peerless prodigy like Yunxi, falling into Lin Hao’s hands was the worst luck of eight lifetimes. Throughout the journey, whenever she started to wake up, Lin Hao would notice and immediately knock her unconscious again.
"No problem!" Turtle Egg promised confidently. After watching Lin Hao walk away, it stared at Yunxi and muttered under its breath, "That guy really has no idea how to treat a lady. Don’t worry, when you wake up, I definitely won’t knock you out."
Just as Turtle Egg finished speaking, Yunxi’s long eyelashes fluttered.
Turtle Egg took two steps back, watching her, with no real intention of striking.
At that moment, the ground outside the valley began to tremble as a large contingent of riders caught up.
"We found him! He’s here!" someone shouted upon seeing Lin Hao standing at the valley entrance.
As he yelled, the rider spurred his mount, leveled his great saber, and charged directly at Lin Hao.
He had seen through Lin Hao’s Eighth Layer of Elemental Realm cultivation at a glance, while his own was at the Peak of the Eighth Layer.
With a weapon in hand, in his eyes, the slender Lin Hao wouldn’t last a single exchange.
Just as this man attacked Lin Hao, inside the valley, Yunxi’s beautiful eyes opened.
The first thing she saw was a turtle with its head stretched far out.
Yunxi was already aware of her situation. With no time to wonder about Turtle Egg’s origins, she immediately activated her Life Secret Skill.
BOOM!
The void trembled, and a blood leopard burst forth.
Yunxi was overjoyed.
She didn’t see Lin Hao.
If she just had a few moments to control the Devil Beast, Yunxi was confident she could capture Lin Hao in return.
She was a peerless prodigy, yet she had suffered such a bizarre and deep humiliation for no reason. After capturing Lin Hao, Yunxi planned to torture him thoroughly. Otherwise, it would be impossible to quell the hatred in her heart.
With the blood leopard hovering in the air, Yunxi shot to her feet and began searching for Lin Hao. As for Turtle Egg, she completely ignored it.
But one glance left Yunxi stunned. She saw a great saber hurtling toward Lin Hao’s head.
That man’s cultivation was at the Peak of the Eighth Layer of the Elemental Realm.
’Lin Hao can’t just die like this! How will I get my revenge?’
With a flicker of movement, Yunxi was about to act. But immediately, her path was blocked by Turtle Egg.
"Ugly turtle, get lost!" Yunxi glared at Turtle Egg and then kicked out.
As she kicked, Yunxi glanced at the great saber.
She had calculated it perfectly. Kicking the turtle’s body would send it flying right into the path of the great saber.
CRACK!
Yunxi’s foot struck Turtle Egg, but it was like kicking a steel plate. She nearly broke her leg.
Yunxi froze.
In that moment of hesitation, the great saber at the valley entrance had already reached the top of Lin Hao’s head.
Yunxi was about to speak, but in the next instant, her mouth dropped open in an "O" shape.
She saw Lin Hao suddenly throw a punch, aiming straight for the blade of the long saber.
This was the Mo Yun Kingdom.
Because of their physique, Martial Artists from the Mo Yun Kingdom possessed greater combat strength than those from the Cangnan Kingdom at the same cultivation level. In other words, this Martial Artist’s current power was equivalent to a Ninth Layer of Elemental Realm Martial Artist from the Cangnan Kingdom.
’And he’s wielding a long saber. Punching a saber’s edge? That’s complete suicide!’
Right before her eyes, Lin Hao’s fist collided with the long saber.
To Yunxi’s surprise, the long saber shattered into pieces, while Lin Hao remained completely unharmed.
BOOM!
Then, Lin Hao raised his hand, and a giant hand of True Essence materialized, swatting both rider and mount into a bloody mist.
’How terrifying!’ Yunxi was shaken beyond words.
But she quickly snapped back to her senses.
’The more terrifying Lin Hao is, the faster I need to act.’
Staring at Turtle Egg, a murderous glint flashed in Yunxi’s beautiful eyes.
The next moment, she gave the blood leopard an order: kill Turtle Egg.
But just then, something terrifying happened.
The turtle slowly lifted its head, and the blood leopard she had summoned instantly vanished into the void.
Yunxi discovered that her connection with the blood leopard had been severed.
Yunxi didn’t give up. She activated her Life Secret Skill again, and a Demon Ape materialized from the void.
But it was still futile. Upon seeing Turtle Egg, the Demon Ape vanished, and her connection to it was severed as well.
This was something that had never happened since she first awakened her Life Secret Skill.
In an instant, a chill ran down Yunxi’s spine.
’What on earth is the origin of this turtle? How can it sever my connection to my Summoned Beasts?’
She knew her Summoned Beasts were kings among Devil Beasts, hegemons in their own right in many places. But before this turtle, they were like mice seeing a cat.
"Little girl, your Life Secret Skill is still amateurish, so don’t waste your energy. If you try to attack this divine turtle again, I’ll knock you out, strip you naked, and give you to that boy Lin Hao," Turtle Egg said pompously. Its words made Yunxi’s face turn pale.
’This turtle has an immense background. I’m no match for it.’
A thought flashed through Yunxi’s mind, and she prepared to flee.
"In the presence of this divine turtle, all your schemes are useless. You should just sit down obediently and watch the show with me." It was as if Turtle Egg could read her mind, knowing her thoughts completely.
Yunxi immediately deflated.
It was bad enough running into a monster like Lin Hao, but with a monstrous turtle on top of that, she was afraid any hope of escape was lost.
However, Yunxi didn’t give up.
Pretending to sit down, Yunxi suddenly lunged toward the narrow gap.
By turning sideways, her body could slip through.
ROAR!
However, the moment she moved, the blood leopard she had just lost contact with suddenly reappeared, but it was now roaring at her.
Yunxi’s cultivation was at the Peak of the Elemental Realm, but the blood leopard’s was around the Soul Gathering Realm Third Layer, far stronger than her.
To be blocked by a Devil Beast she herself had summoned... Yunxi wanted to cry but had no tears. She completely lost all hope.
Realizing she was no match for this turtle, Yunxi could only sit down, puffing her cheeks in frustration, and look toward the valley entrance.
One look, and her face lit up with a grin.
Outside the valley, several people had appeared. Except for three of them, the rest were all at the Peak of the Elemental Realm.
’Now, let’s see how Lin Hao deals with this.’
A moment ago, Yunxi had wanted Lin Hao to live, but now, after witnessing Turtle Egg’s power, she had changed her mind.
Turtle Egg was so powerful that if Lin Hao didn’t die, she could forget about ever escaping.
