Chapter 1236 Unable to Let Go
Gui Zhengyi was extremely shocked. Originally, he sent Xiao Chen to investigate the three demons in order to make him back down.
After all, the three demons are too powerful. If any one of them is angered, it could provoke the other two to retaliate.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen was so audacious that he dared to attack the Mountain-Devouring Demon Ape King!
Although the Mountain-Devouring Demon Ape King was severely injured and on the verge of death, the demons that filled the Demon Ape Mountain were not to be trifled with. Moreover, behind him stood two terrifyingly powerful giant demons capable of shaking the heavens and the earth!
Although a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, Xiao Chen's attempt to assassinate the Devouring Mountain Demon Ape King was too reckless. He might accidentally die.
"The Demon Ape King feigned illness to lure me into attacking. After a bloody battle, I barely managed to kill him," Xiao Chen said, not choosing to hide anything from Gui Zhengyi.
"The Demon Ape King has recovered? You carried a mountain full of demons and killed the Demon Ape King in his prime?" Gui Zhengyi was struck dumb, and the three sparse strands of hair on his head stood up.
Originally, it thought that Xiao Chen had only clashed with the severely injured and dying Devouring Mountain Demon Ape King, but it did not expect that the Demon Ape King had actually recovered.
It's astonishing that Xiao Chen, at his age, was able to kill the terrifying Mountain-Devouring Demon Ape King!
"The Demon Ape King was not at his peak, but he consumed a divine medicine and recovered seventy or eighty percent of his combat power."
"Being able to kill the Demon Ape King at seventy or eighty percent of its strength is already quite astonishing," Gui Zhengyi said.
Who is the Mountain-Swallowing Demon Ape King? He is an ancient demon who has cultivated for over a thousand years. He is terrifying, his strength is unparalleled in the mountain, he commands all demons, and he has devoured countless old kings. He is as ferocious as a demon.
How old is Xiao Chen? He's only just turned twenty! Yet he carried a mountain of demons and killed a mountain lord!
"Old Turtle, let's not talk about this for now. The Crimson Dragon King and the Black Feather King have been alerted and are about to attack. Let's find a place to retreat first," Xiao Chen said.
"You fought them?" Gui Zhengyi's pupils shrank slightly. The Crimson Dragon King possessed a trace of ancient true dragon bloodline, and its dragon power was astonishing, making it extremely difficult to deal with. The Black Feather King was a descendant of the Mountain Lord Ancient King lineage, and was equally terrifying.
Since ancient times, people have revered dragons and tigers, and this is by no means without basis.
Apart from those legendary supreme beasts, terrifying divine birds, and the might of dragons and tigers, they are truly unparalleled.
Within the tiger clan, there is a hierarchy.
Only the most talented and purest lineage of the tiger clan can be king and rule the mountain.
The power of the demon race is deeply hidden in their bloodline, passed down through generations. Through survival of the fittest, the tiger demon race evolved the bloodline of the Mountain Lord.
All descendants of this lineage are extremely terrifying, either possessing innate supernatural abilities or undergoing physical mutations, and their ferocity far surpasses that of ordinary tigers.
Black Feather King is from the lineage of Mountain Lord. Although his bloodline is not pure, it is already extremely terrifying.
In ancient times, the White Tiger Demon Ancestor was a terrifying divine beast comparable to a true dragon.
As the royal family of the tiger clan, the Mountain Lord possesses a portion of the power of the progenitor. Even with only a tiny bit of bloodline, he is capable of destroying mountains and seas and looking down upon the world.
Of course, the true dragon bloodline within the Black Armored Dragon Beast Turtle is no weaker than that of the Crimson Flood Dragon King. If it were at its peak, it would not fear either of the two demons.
But now, it is injured and its combat power is greatly reduced, so it is no longer able to deal with those two monstrous demons!
Even a single one of them could take its life.
The three demons retreated earlier because it, despite being severely injured, activated the Xuan Turtle Barrier, temporarily repelling them.
However, activating the barrier consumes a great deal of demonic energy, and in its current state, it simply cannot sustain it for long.
Forcibly activating it again will damage its essence, and it will never have another chance to break through to the Emperor Realm in this lifetime.
“No, I withdrew the moment they arrived, but judging from their aura, they are two colossal demons,” Xiao Chen said.
Gui Zhengyi remained silent, his cloudy old eyes filled with hesitation and struggle, as if he were making an extremely difficult decision.
It's easy for it to leave, but what about the nearly one hundred villages and hundreds of thousands of villagers at the foot of the mountain, and the nearly one thousand tortoise soldiers and generals in the mountains?
Last time it activated the barrier and repelled the three demons, the three demons did not attack the villagers at the foot of the mountain. This was partly because they were wary of Wuyou City, and partly because they wanted to keep it occupied and prevent it from making any progress.
Although demons in the vicinity often eat people, large-scale bloodshed like the massacre of a village is rare. Firstly, with Gui Zhengyi in charge, the mountain lords are somewhat restrained. Secondly, if they go too far, Wuyou City will not stand idly by.
However, if it leaves, given the nature of the Crimson Dragon King and the Black Feather King, they are very likely to retaliate by massacring the nearby villages.
Moreover, it can move, but Xuan Turtle Mountain cannot. Given the movement speed of its turtle offspring, turtle soldiers, and turtle generals, they cannot move either.
"Old Turtle, the Crimson Flood Dragon King and the Black Feather King are coming soon. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave!"
Xiao Chen was anxious. Protecting the Black Armored Dragon Turtle Beast from breaking through to the next realm while enduring the retaliation of three mountain lord-level demon kings was already an almost impossible task. The only way he could think of was to defeat them one by one. Now that he had killed one, the other two were coming together. He needed to temporarily avoid their sharp edge and look for an opportunity to strike again. At this moment, he and Gui Zhengyi had to immediately retreat from Xuan Turtle Mountain and find a chance to catch their breath.
"Young friend, you should go. I will cover your retreat." After hesitating for a few moments, Gui Zhengyi finally couldn't bear to leave the villagers and his descendants, and sighed softly.
"Old Turtle, why are you doing this?" Xiao Chen asked anxiously. He didn't know the situation at Xuan Turtle Mountain and didn't know what Turtle Justice was reluctant to leave behind.
"If I leave, the villagers at the foot of the mountain and the turtles on the mountain will all die tragically. I cannot bear to leave them behind," said the turtle, Zhengyi.
"A group of turtles on the mountain?" Xiao Chen was stunned. He looked around and found that the entire Xuan Turtle Divine Pool was filled with a dark mist, but there was not a single turtle in sight.
“My children, show yourselves to our young friend,” said Gui Zhengyi.
As soon as the words were spoken, blue clouds surged and waves rose suddenly. The ethereal lake surface shattered instantly, and nearly a thousand spirit turtles of varying sizes emerged from the pond, some as large as small mountains and others as small as millstones.
Amidst the hazy mist, the turtles revealed human forms, including old men, young men, and many women and children.
"I've met the young master!"
"Thank you for your help, young master!"
"We will never forget your great kindness, young master!"
The turtle clan members all bowed to Xiao Chen, expressing their deep gratitude.
They knew that Xiao Chen was a good person who had come to help their ancestor overcome his tribulation.
Xiao Chen was taken aback. He nodded to the turtle clan members, then looked at Gui Zhengyi and asked in surprise, "Elder Gui, are these all your descendants?"
Gui Zhengyi nodded: "If you live a long time, you will naturally have some offspring."
Xiao Chen's eye twitched. Was this a little? It's already over a thousand.
"Old turtle, I spared your life yesterday, but instead of being grateful, you sent people to harm my third brother. Today, it seems I can no longer let you live!"
"My third brother and I are like brothers. If you send someone to kill it, you are making an enemy of us!"
Suddenly, dark clouds loomed overhead in the void, a fierce demonic wind arose, and crimson and black demonic lights blazed intensely, like a raging river hanging in the air, threatening the heavens and the earth. Two figures teleported continuously from afar, their eerie light surging. In just a breath, the Crimson Dragon King and the Black Feather King appeared before Xiao Chen and Gui Zhengyi like ghosts.
