"Time is of the essence. Everyone, attack together. If you have any tricks up your sleeves, don't hide them." Hu Qianshan let out a loud shout as he took out six fireballs. Each fireball was as red as a piece of iron, but its temperature was thousands of times hotter than a piece of iron. Within a thousand feet radius, all the low-level Qi Refining cultivators were suffocated by this astonishing force, as if they were about to suffocate. Even the demonic turtle in the pool of water was extremely uneasy.
The six fire pearls formed a circle in the air and smashed towards the huge Tiger-Striped Demonic Turtle with a loud bang. The moment the fire pearls approached the demonic turtle, the circle of fire pearls became a straight line and smashed into the demonic turtle's body. Even a late Foundation Establishment cultivator would not be able to withstand a single fire pearl. However, the demonic turtle's shell was incomparably hard. The six fire pearls only made a small dent the size of a fist. Compared to the huge body of the demonic turtle, this small damage was nothing.
Yan Tielin's yellow spear also released a three feet long spear light, which pierced towards the hole in the demonic turtle's left hind leg. He recognized the demonic turtle's astonishing defense, so he chose to attack the demonic turtle's weak spot. However, the demonic turtle was not slow. Its body tilted slightly and blocked the spear light with its incomparably hard shell.
Lü Tianlin's black crutch was originally aimed at the demonic turtle's head, but the demonic turtle simply retracted and avoided the crutch. When the black crutch was repelled by the turtle's shell, the demonic turtle stuck its head out and sank into the pool of water. The demonic turtle opened its mouth and sucked in a large amount of blood. Then, it suddenly opened its mouth and spat it out.
A huge hurricane blew out, and the blood that was sucked in by the Tiger-Striped Demonic Tortoise turned into sharp arrows. Hundreds and thousands of arrows. Densely packed. This scattered attack naturally could not do anything to Foundation Establishment cultivators, but the sudden appearance of a rain of arrows was an absolute disaster for Aura Refining cultivators. Although many Foundation Establishment cultivators created earth walls and magic power barriers to block many of the ice arrows, there were still dozens of people who were hit by the ice arrows. If they did not die, then they were injured.
"So this evil beast only cares about its children and grandchildren. Brother Yan, Brother Lu, we've been thinking wrongly. Rather than this old turtle demon, why don't we attack its disciples and grand-disciples? Perhaps we can lure the snake out of its hole. " Hu Qianshan raised his hand and drew a line in the air. His face was filled with a cruel expression as he let out a hideous grin. Six Fire Pearls shot into the water one after another. Dozens of low-level Demon Turtles were blasted into the air. Those that were hit by the Fire Pearls were directly blasted into pieces.
Yan Tielin understood tacitly and also thrust his spear into the pond. Another dozen or so low-level demon turtles were sent flying out of the pond, where they were killed one by one by the other Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The furious tiger-striped turtle demon raised its head and roared. Although these human cultivators could not break through its defenses, they could not do anything to it. However, in terms of speed, it was slightly inferior to these Foundation Establishment cultivators. Similarly, it could not do anything to the other party.
At present, Hu Qianshan, Yan Tielin, and Lü Tianlin were wantonly attacking these low-level demon turtles, provoking the giant demon turtle to roar again and again. Its mountain-like body finally began to move. It angrily pounced towards the nearest Foundation Establishment cultivator and spat out a huge ice ball. The terrifying coldness directly froze the low-level Aura Refining cultivators into ice sculptures wherever the ice ball passed. That early Foundation Establishment cultivator was also very unlucky. He took out two magic tools in succession, but to no avail. He urged his magic power to resist the attack of the ice ball with all his might. However, a thin layer of frost was still climbing up his body at a speed visible to the naked eye. The giant tiger-striped turtle demon's four legs slid into the water, and its cumbersome body shot out like a cannonball. Its thick and solid turtle shell directly slammed the early Foundation Establishment cultivator into the hard rock. The bystanders were simply unable to rescue him in time.
"Haha, got it!" After the giant demon turtle was lured away, Hu Qianshan controlled the fireball and smashed it into the pond. The accumulated water within a radius of several zhang was instantly evaporated, revealing a millstone-sized five-colored stone.
Lu Xiaotian coldly watched from the sidelines. This giant demon turtle still knew how to protect its disciples and grand disciples. In comparison, in order to achieve their own goals, the clan heads did not hesitate to drive these low-level cultivators to their deaths. They only attracted a portion of the giant demon turtle's attention. However, this kind of thing was very common in the cultivation world. There was no need to be angry. As long as it did not affect him, it was fine.
"Roar!" The giant demon turtle charged back. At this moment, Hu Qianshan, Yan Tielin, and Lü Tianlin, who had already succeeded, quickly retreated.
"Everyone, immediately withdraw from the reef cave and return to the lakeside." Before leaving, Hu Qianshan reminded everyone.
"Let's go!" Lu Xiaotian's reaction was not slow. Originally, as the chaotic battle progressed, he, Lü Feng, and Lü Hui were getting closer and closer to the lakeside. Even before Hu Qianshan said anything, Lu Xiaotian secretly called out to the Lü Brothers when he saw them retreat. He leaped out of the water and quickly escaped from this damned place.
Suddenly, an earth-shaking tremor spread out. Everyone's complexion paled. They thought that the reef cave was about to collapse.
"Not good, the tide is returning to the Heavenly Lake. Run!" A white-bearded old man with rich experience pointed out the source of the tremor. Everyone's complexion paled. The tide was returning to the lake. If he couldn't reach the shore before the tide returned, he would probably lose his life here. For a moment, everyone scrambled to escape.
There were still more than a thousand people present. Naturally, the ones who fled the fastest were the Foundation Establishment cultivators. It was not easy for the low-level Aura Refining cultivators to shake off the tortoises.
With a loud bang, Lu Xiaotian glanced back with a calm expression. The giant tiger-striped demon turtle's huge body once again leaped several tens of meters. Its heavy body directly blocked the path of most of the cultivators.
That was close! Lu Xiaotian's heart skipped a beat. This huge Demonic Turtle should have also sensed the return of the tide. Previously, because its body was limited and its movements were slow, it was tricked by Hu Qianshan and the other late stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. Now that the lake water had returned to the Demonic Turtle, the Demonic Turtle would be able to escape. Once the lake poured in, the giant demon turtle was like a fish in water. It was no longer limited by the terrain. On the contrary, the human cultivators' combat strength was greatly reduced in the water. With one increase and one decrease, these human cultivators were no longer its match. This giant demon turtle's strength had already reached the sixth rank. Even with the Dissolving Water Bead, they were far from being its match in the water. However, if he directly flew away from the lake on his sword, then Lü Tianlin, Hu Qianshan, and the other late Foundation Establishment cultivators would quickly connect the deaths of Lv Jinrong and Hu Bin to him. Especially Lü Tianlin, who had lost his son, would very likely pursue him regardless of the consequences. With several late Foundation Establishment cultivators by his side, even the Seven Stars Formation wouldn't be able to kill all of them. That kind of situation was too dangerous. He could only use his fastest speed to escape to the lakeside and continue to blend in with the group as a late Aura Refining cultivator. Otherwise, his situation would be extremely dangerous.
Behind him, several hundred Aura Refining cultivators were blocked by the giant demon turtle. There were also several unlucky Foundation Establishment cultivators who were desperately trying to escape. They simply didn't care about the consequences. After all, if they stayed behind, only death would await them. The giant demon turtle opened its mouth and bit two Foundation Establishment cultivators to death in succession. The ice balls it spat out froze over a hundred people into ice sculptures. However, due to the large number of cultivators who didn't fear death, more than a hundred people still managed to escape.
No one was paying attention to the desperate situation behind them. Everyone was busy running for their lives. Escaping from the attack of the tiger-striped demon turtle was only the beginning. Only when they reached the lakeside could they be considered to have succeeded.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators rode on their magic tools while the low level Aura Refining cultivators ran for their lives. It was a sharp contrast to the high-spirited atmosphere they had when they first arrived.
Whoosh! After some Foundation Establishment cultivators left the reef cave, they rode their swords and flew into the sky. They even had the leisure to look at the distant lake tide, which looked like a white line on the horizon. Although there were still a large number of low level cultivators below who had yet to escape, at least their lives were no longer in danger. Of course, this didn't include those who still had close relatives hiding below. However, this wasn't too big of a problem. They couldn't save everyone, but it wasn't a problem for them to save the few who were most important. Their magic tools could also carry quite a few people.
Lu Xiaotian and the Lu brothers were among the several hundred people. Originally, there were three great clans and a large number of individual cultivators, so there were more than three thousand Aura Refining cultivators who entered the reef cave. At this moment, there were only about five to six hundred people who made it out of the reef cave. It was unknown how many of them would survive in the end. The tide returning to the lake was already close at hand.
"Quick!"
The scene was chaotic. Everyone was scrambling to escape to the lakeside. At this moment, the Foundation Establishment cultivators who were already in an invincible position began to rescue the Aura Refining cultivators below. However, only seventeen of the thirty or so Foundation Establishment cultivators survived. The remaining ten or so people all died in the reef cave. Only a few dozen people successfully made it to the lakeside. The remaining hundred or so people were rescued by the Foundation Establishment cultivators in time. The remaining people were swallowed by the monstrous lake tide. In the blink of an eye, they were swept away by the tide and disappeared without a trace.
"That was close." Lü Feng, Lü Hui, and Lu Xiaotian stood on the lakeside at this moment. Looking at the cultivators of the same level who were swept away, they couldn't help but sigh.
"After this incident, the vitality of our three great clans has been greatly damaged. I don't know how long it will take for us to recover." Yan Tielin looked at the sparse crowd on the lakeside and sighed. It wasn't just the Aura Refining cultivators. Even the core Foundation Establishment disciples of the clans had lost nearly half of their members.
"As long as we can open the Daoist Scripture, everything is worth it. These low-level cultivators are no longer of much use. I think we should let them rush to Full Moon City on their own. There's no time to lose. We should immediately head to the location of the Immemorial Daoist Scripture."
Lü Tianlin's face darkened. He withdrew his gaze from the many low-level rogue cultivators and sized them up repeatedly. He didn't find anything wrong with them. Could it be that the mastermind hiding among the crowd really died in this lake tide?
Looking at Hu Qianshan and Yan Tielin leading their respective clan's cultivators into the sky, Lv Tianlin waved his hand, and the Lv Clan's Foundation Establishment cultivators followed closely behind.
The remaining hundred or so Qi Refinement cultivators had long lost their courage. Most of them planned to listen to the orders of the patriarch and rush to Full Moon City. After all, those who were able to survive this disaster had earned a lot. After narrowly escaping death, they had no interest in continuing to take risks for the time being.
"Do you two remember the approximate location of the Immemorial Daoist Scripture? After the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the three great clans left, the three of them broke away from the main group. Lu Xiaotian looked at Lü Feng and Lü Hui and said.
"This matter concerns us brothers' Foundation Establishment. Naturally, we don't dare to forget." Lü Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Although we have stayed in the Lü family for more than ten years and even changed our surnames, the Lü family doesn't treat us brothers as their own people at all. We can only rely on ourselves when it comes to cultivation."
"Alright, then let's go." Lu Xiaotian waved his hand, and the Earth Splitting Blade flew out. Lü Feng and Lü Hui flew together with Lu Xiaotian onto the rapidly expanding golden blade under an irresistible force.
"This, this, this is, Lu, Lu Dao, no, Senior Lu!" Lü Feng and Yan Tielin stuttered for a while. They couldn't believe that Lu Xiaotian, who had been with them for so long and escaped from the mud like a clay figurine, was actually a Foundation Establishment cultivator. This was a little too inconceivable to them.
"Why, are you very surprised?" Lu Xiaotian sat on the other end of the Earth Splitting Blade and said.
"Of course I'm very surprised. Since Senior Lu has such a cultivation, you could have been directly regarded as the most honorable guest by the family head. Why are you mingling with us low-level cultivators?" Lü Feng's brain turned a little faster, and he quickly mustered up the courage to ask.
"Originally, I just wanted to follow the team back to Full Moon City, but I didn't expect to learn about the Primordial Chaos Dao Scripture from your mouths. My goal is naturally to enter the Primordial Chaos Dao Scripture. Since you remember the location, that's great. " Lu Xiaotian said with a faint smile. In fact, Hu Qianshan's dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators had left a large amount of spirit qi fluctuations in the sky. If it were three experts in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, he might not be able to track them. However, among the seventeen Foundation Establishment cultivators, there were many with relatively low cultivation. It wasn't too difficult to track them all the way. Lü Feng and Lü Hui were only his backup. In case he couldn't track them, he could rely on these two to find them.
"I remember, I remember. If we have offended Senior Lu before, I hope Senior can forgive us." Lü Feng quickly nodded. Thinking of how he had tricked Lu Xiaotian out of his residence and threatened him, Lü Feng and Lü Hui couldn't help sweating profusely. Threatening a Foundation Establishment Senior was probably the boldest thing they had done in their lives.
"It doesn't matter. The ignorant are not guilty. Besides, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known about the Primordial Chaos Dao Scripture. As long as I can enter, you two brothers will naturally benefit. If there are Foundation Establishment Pills in the Primordial Chaos Dao Scripture that I don't need, I can give them to you two brothers. " Lu Xiaotian threw the remaining bottle of Rejuvenation Pills to Lu Feng. Perhaps he would find out about the Primordial Dao Scripture sooner or later if he was mixed in with the cultivators of the three great clans. However, these two brothers had found him in advance, so he had to return to Full Moon City to get the Fire Dragon Scale Armor. With this extremely strong defensive magic item, Lu Xiaotian naturally had more confidence.
"Thank you, Senior Lu! Since Senior Lu treats us so well, we naturally have to serve you. "Lü Hui received the pill bottle and repeatedly thanked him with a happy expression.
