"So powerful …"
Seeing this sight, Pavilion Master Kui Xiao and Elder Feng felt a chill running down their spines.
They had thought that the other party was just a fish on the chopping block, and as long as they set up a trap, they would be able to capture or even kill the other party easily. Never in their wildest dreams did they think that they would be the ones being set up instead.
Without the aid of the Red Mist, it would have been difficult for Zhang Xuan to defeat Bai Xuansheng. However, with the aid of the Red Mist, he was able to reduce the head of one of the Six Sects, one of the strongest experts in the Master Teacher Continent, to such a state in just a few moves.
He no longer had the slightest strength to resist.
Elder Liu did not see the problem in advance. If they had just foolishly charged forward, they would definitely end up in the same state as this Sect Leader Bai, or even worse!
That was because the Two Ripples Water Formation was a trapping formation. Once it was activated, no matter how high one's cultivation was, one would not be able to escape in a short period of time. It was very likely that one would be killed.
Rumble!
The Blackback Tortoise didn't let its guard down even after succeeding several times. Instead, it retracted its limbs and head back into its shell before charging toward Sect Leader Bai once more.
"I want you dead …"
Bai Xuan bellowed angrily. With a thought, three swords appeared beside him, and under the control of his will, they pierced toward Zhang Xuan. "Wah! Wah!
As expected of the leader of the Black Mirror Sect, all three of his swords were at the pinnacle of the High Immortal realm!
Ding ding ding!
The long sword landed on the back of the Black Tortoise, but it did not even scratch its skin, and its speed did not even slow down.
Bai Xuansheng narrowed his eyes in astonishment. Not daring to waste his breath, he immediately turned around and fled.
Even when he was not injured, he would not have been a match for a Semi-Divinity artifact. Given that his arms were shattered, his ribs were fractured, and his internal organs were severely damaged as well. At this rate, there was no doubt that he would die.
Boom!
Before he could get far, the Blackback Tortoise rammed into his back. Once again, it flipped over and crashed into the ground.
"Do it!"
Seeing that the battle was about to come to an end, Zhang Xuan let out a faint smile and stomped his foot, tearing open the Spatial Formation once again and making his way out.
Kui Xiao and Feng Bi followed closely behind.
The Blackback Tortoise was in no hurry to attack when it saw the person who had been hiding there. It didn't swim over either. Instead, its eyes were filled with coldness.
"Sect Leader Kui, it's all up to you now …"
With a faint smile, Zhang Xuan turned around.
"En!"
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao took a deep breath and nodded. Then, he extended his hand forward.
It was as if a bolt of lightning had appeared in Zhang Xuan's palm. The immense force stirred up the seawater, and the Mayflies that had gathered around the Blackback Tortoise were instantly scattered.
Along the way, they had helped Elder Liu achieve a breakthrough to the Heavenly High Immortal realm, and in return, Elder Liu had taught them the battle techniques that he had comprehended. Even though it had only been a few days, his mastery of the battle techniques had improved significantly!
It was the same move, but it was more than twice as strong as it was a few days ago!
At this moment, when he used it, lightning flashed, incomparably domineering.
The Blackback Tortoise retracted its neck once more, and its body began spinning on the spot. As a result, Pavilion Master Kui Xiao's lightning bolt was repelled upon striking its body.
"Amazing!"
Zhang Xuan secretly nodded.
That fellow possessed incredible speed, and he had a massive tortoise shell, making it nigh impossible to pierce through him. No matter how powerful Pavilion Master Kui Xiao was, it would be impossible for him to defeat the other party within a short period of time!
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had already exchanged more than a dozen blows. The Sea of Little Mirror seemed to be boiling, and steam was rising from the surface of the water.
The battle between two Semi-Divinity realm cultivators was so powerful that it could destroy everything within a radius of ten thousand li.
If not for the fact that they were at the bottom of the sea, such a battle would have alarmed countless experts.
"Why isn't that fellow charging over?"
Elder Feng asked with a frown.
When it was fighting with Bai Xuansheng earlier, the Blackback Tortoise had been charging over and over again, knocking Bai Xuansheng down with brute force. Yet, it was still standing on the spot. It might have looked like it was fighting, but in truth, it was just resisting the Blackback Tortoise's attacks head-on.
"It's afraid of the Two Ripples Water Formation, so it doesn't dare to make a move!"
Zhang Xuan said with a smile.
Elder Feng was taken aback for a moment before realization struck him.
It was best for the Blackback Tortoise to be careful. It was currently at the edge of the formation, so even if the formation was activated, it could not be harmed in the slightest.
"Wait a moment … Wasn't it waiting for the formation to activate so that it could trap Bai Xuansheng and kill him?"
"The reason why it was trying to trap it earlier is because of its strength, but it's different now," Zhang Xuan said.
Elder Feng frowned.
The Blackback Tortoise had only been charging at the Blackback Tortoise without exerting any of its zhenqi or talent. What was different about it?
"Even a Semi-Divinity artifact would be torn to shreds by those Silverleaf Mayflies. Even though that fellow has incredible defense, do you think that it will be able to withstand their attacks without expending any energy?"
Zhang Xuan said.
At this moment, there were still many Silverleaf Mayflies clinging to the Blackback Tortoise's body. If even a Semi-Divinity artifact was unable to withstand their attacks, no matter how powerful the Blackback Tortoise's defense was, it was likely that it had sustained significant damage.
"Since that's the case … let's go at it together!"
Elder Feng heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that the Blackback Tortoise's fighting prowess was significantly weaker than before.
Being able to hunt a Semi-Divinity realm beast with one's own hands was a huge temptation to any cultivator.
"There's no need to rush. It's waiting for an opportunity, and we have to wait for one too!"
Zhang Xuan said with a wave of his hand.
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was confident, Elder Feng turned his attention back to the battle.
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao and the Blackback Tortoise had already exchanged another twenty blows. The former's zhenqi was no longer as pure and ferocious as before, and the latter was panting heavily in exhaustion.
It was at this moment that the Blackback Tortoise opened its mouth once more.
Hu!
The diamond crystal that had fallen into Bai Xuansheng's hands earlier flew toward him once more, heading straight toward Zhang Xuan.
"Humph!"
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao was already prepared for the diamond crystal, so how could he possibly allow it to do as it pleased? Just as he was about to dodge the diamond crystal, a silhouette suddenly appeared before him.
"Don't dodge!"
Zhang Xuan chuckled softly as he raised his hand and grabbed the diamond crystal.
Hu!
The diamond crystal vanished right before Zhang Xuan's eyes. It had been stowed into his storage ring.
"This …"
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao was not the only one who was stunned. The Blackback Tortoise was stunned as well.
It had suffered so many blows just for this move, but who could have thought that it would be stowed into his storage ring in an instant?
How could a Heavenly High Immortal like him withstand the power of the diamond crystal?
How in the world did his storage ring not explode?
If it was possible to use a storage ring to take in attacks at any time, who in the world would dare to bring out their weapons?
"Are you curious as to why I am able to keep this diamond crystal?"
Zhang Xuan asked with a smile. With a flick of his wrist, the diamond crystal that he had just kept floated quietly in his palm.
"Pu!"
The Blackback Tortoise spurted a mouthful of blood as it exclaimed in disbelief, "You managed to tame the diamond crystal?"
The reason it was able to use the power of the diamond crystal to lure the Silverback Mayflies was because it had ignited its blood essence when it had swallowed the diamond crystal earlier. It had expended a great deal of energy to tame the diamond crystal.
How in the world did the diamond crystal submit to someone else when it was still alive?
Even though the diamond crystal was not a weapon, it possessed a spirit of its own. Once it swore loyalty to its master, it would never betray its master. What in the world was going on?
"That's right. I erased the previous spirit within it, and it just so happened that I managed to awaken a new spirit within it. That's how it ended up submitting to me! "
Zhang Xuan said with a smile as he flicked his finger.
Weng!
The diamond crystal immediately flew toward the Blackback Tortoise.
Hula!
The agitated Silverback Mayflies charged forward once more, and they swiftly surrounded the Blackback Tortoise.
"You sure are something!"
The Blackback Tortoise shot a deep glance at Zhang Xuan before turning around to flee.
It had been intending to kill Pavilion Master Kui Xiao and make use of the strength of two Semi-Divinity realm experts to raise its strength once more, but who could have thought that it would be foiled by that fellow? With its energy depleted, it could only leave for the time being.
"It's too late for you to leave now!"
Zhang Xuan said as he took a step forward.
Weng!
The raging sea in the surroundings immediately calmed down. Even the Silverback Mayflies had quietened down as well.
The Blackback Tortoise hurriedly charged forward, only to be repelled back by some sort of force. Its face warped in horror as it asked, "What kind of formation is this? How can it be so powerful? "
It had taken a look at the surroundings earlier, and there was a Double Ripples Water Formation around it. Even though such a formation could trap it for a while, it would still be able to escape if it used its full strength.
But what was this?
Despite using its full strength, it was actually repelled back?
Just what in the world was this formation?
Besides, formations required energy, and there were no obvious energy fluctuations in the surroundings. How could such a resilient barrier be formed?
"The Double Ripples Water Formation is just an ordinary Confinement Formation, so there's no way it would be able to trap you. Thus, I modified it a little to increase its range and prowess. Due to the fact that you three Semi-Divinity realm experts are constantly fighting with one another, the energy that you are emanating is being absorbed by the formation. Thus, unless I activate the formation myself, you won't be able to escape at all!"
Zhang Xuan explained.
Naturally, it was impossible for the formation that Elder Feng had set up to trap the Blackback Tortoise. Thus, he had modified it a little.
The reason why he had not interfered in the battle between Pavilion Master Kui Xiao and the Blackback Tortoise was to allow the formation to absorb as much energy as it could. Now that the formation was filled with energy, it would be impossible for the Blackback Tortoise to escape.
"To be able to absorb the energy of a Semi-Divinity realm expert … Who in the world are you?"
He tried a few more times, but it was just as the Blackback Tortoise had said. Even when he was at his peak, he would not be able to escape at all.
The Blackback Tortoise's complexion turned incredibly awful. The young man's cultivation was not too high, but he was able to assimilate crystals and set up such a powerful formation in the blink of an eye.
It had thought that it would be able to make use of the Sea of Little Mirror to kill two Semi-Divinities in one fell swoop and intimidate the world so that the humans would not dare to provoke it ever again. Never in its dreams did it think that it would fall into the hands of the young man before it.
"You want to know who I am?"
Zhang Xuan asked with a smile. "Little Tortoise, acknowledge me as your master. Acknowledge me as your master, and I'll tell you who I am! "
