The Hornless Dragon Turtle became even more infuriated after missing its strike. It let out a deafening roar that stirred up the entire sea.
It could see greed and desire in the eyes of these people. It wanted to smack all of them to death.
The Hornless Dragon Turtle's roar contained a soul attack. It left the minds of those who heard it buzzing. It was as though there were countless ghostly wails reverberating.
In a blink of an eye, the Li family, which had come with great ambitions, was forced into retreat by the Hornless Dragon Turtle's attacks.
"This darn beast has really gone mad!" Li Jiuxiao nearly vomited blood. First it was Yi Yun and now it was the Hornless Dragon Turtle!
It was clearly Yi Yun who had provoked the Hornless Dragon Turtle but it was attacking them instead. It was completely illogical.
Furthermore, the beast was ridiculously powerful. It had cultivated for tens of thousands of years. People like Li Yunshang and company were no match for it. Only Li Jiuxiao could barely put up a fight.
Furthermore, there were already casualties among them. A Li family disciple failed to dodge in time and was scratched by the edge of the Hornless Dragon Turtle's claw. Immediately, he was reduced to a mist of blood. He did not even have the chance to scream before his corpse was completely obliterated.
Upon seeing this scene, the Li family elites felt a chill run down their backs.
At that moment, the World Stone on the Hornless Dragon Turtle's back produced a cracking sound once again as a larger crack appeared.
An even richer herbal fragrance surged out of it and inundated their olfactory senses.
The herbal garden was completely open!
Li Yunshang, who was hiding in the back, had a flash in his eyes. He hurriedly shouted, "Uncle! Don't waste time with this beast. Think of a way to enter the herbal garden. It will be too late if we are late! "
"Alright!" Li Jiuxiao looked at the Hornless Dragon Turtle with a dark gaze. After striking out with his palm, he hurriedly took a few steps back and pulled out a whip from his interspatial ring.
The whip whizzed as Li Jiuxiao lashed it. The surrounding space seemed to be torn apart.
"This is the God Vanquishing Whip. Today, I'll let you have a taste of it, you bastard!"
Li Jiuxiao roared angrily as he lashed out with his whip.
The long whip let out a sharp piercing sound, forming a terrifying crack in the air, directly smashing towards the Hornless Dragon Turtle.
As for the Hornless Dragon Turtle, it let out a startling roar. It stirred the seawater, causing all the seawater in the inland sea to be swept up. It blotted out the entire sky, making the night sky look like an upside-down ocean. Then, it smashed down at Li Jiuxiao and company.
With a loud bang, the whip collided with the sea.
Just the terrifying Yuan Qi blast was enough to make the Li family elites, including Li Yunshang, bleed from their mouths and noses.
But at that moment, Li Yunshang revealed a sinister look.
As for Li Jiuxiao, he sneered. "A beast will always be a beast. You fell for it."
After the long whip collided with the seawater, it instantly turned into a bluish-purple liquid and completely merged with the seawater.
"How stupid are you? How could you have guessed that the God Vanquishing Whip is not a weapon but a supreme poison refined from countless poisons of my Li family?" said Li Yunshang coldly.
The moment the God Vanquishing Whip merged with the seawater, it immediately spread out.
The Hornless Dragon Turtle immediately sensed the changes in the seawater. At the same time, large numbers of fish and low-level beasts floated to the surface with their bellies up.
Their bodies were rapidly rotting, a testament to the potency of the poison.
The Hornless Dragon Turtle was infuriated. It felt that its strength was rapidly draining away.
"Uncle, let's take action quickly," said Li Yunshang.
It was impossible to kill the Hornless Dragon Turtle with poison alone. No matter how strong the poison was, it would slowly lose its effectiveness after being diluted by so much seawater.
However, there was no need for them to fight the Hornless Dragon Turtle to the death. All they needed to do was enter the herbal garden.
As for the Hornless Dragon Turtle, Li Yunshang had secretly decided that as long as it remained in the inland sea, he would definitely lead the Li family to cut it into pieces. He would use every part of its body as medicine, eat its flesh, and drink its blood!
As for Yi Yun, he would immediately enter and seek him out. He would then make him regret ever being born into this world!
Upon thinking of Yi Yun, be it Li Yunshang or Li Jiuxiao, their killing intent intensified. As members of the Martial Numinous clan, they enjoyed great privileges in Martial City. They had never been fooled by a mortal-born.
"Let's go!"
Li Jiuxiao stood in front of the Hornless Dragon Turtle and roared.
"Follow me!" Li Yunshang immediately took the lead and charged right in front of the group.
As for the Li family elites, they followed closely behind.
"Ao!"
The Hornless Dragon Turtle let out another angry roar. However, Li Jiuxiao struck out with his palm. Its body went numb and it failed to dodge in time. Its head suffered a heavy blow.
The Hornless Dragon Turtle immediately let out a wail.
"Bastard, you can't stop me now!" said Li Jiuxiao with a sneer.
The Hornless Dragon Turtle bore the brunt of the poison when it entered the water. It needed time to recover as well.
Now, it could only watch helplessly as the group entered the ancient herbal garden.
And once they entered the ancient herbal garden, the Hornless Dragon Turtle could do nothing to them.
Li Yunshang beamed when he saw the World Stone in front of him. He charged straight in.
"We're in!"
Li Yunshang and the Li family elites had finally entered the herbal garden.
"So this is the ancient herbal garden …"
When Li Yunshang caught a whiff of the rich herbal fragrance and sensed the rich Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, he could not help but smile.
He had gone to great lengths for the herbal garden. Now, he had finally gotten what he wanted.
"Oh … That's … Yi Yun?"
Li Yunshang saw a figure from afar.
Apart from them, the only other person that had appeared in the ancient herbal garden was naturally Yi Yun!
"Let's take down Yi Yun first. I still have many tricks up my sleeves. I want to let him have a good taste of them!"
Li Yunshang said coldly.
Yi Yun believed that by charging into the herbal garden, he would be able to snatch food from the jaws of a tiger. Little did he know that it would only make things easier for them.
At that moment, Yi Yun also sensed the fluctuations coming from the spatial passageway.
He turned his head and saw Li Yunshang and company heading towards him.
"You sure came in quickly. I thought you would stay outside and fight a little longer. But this … Yun something, you look like you have been beaten up quite badly."
Yi Yun's derisive voice entered the ears of Li Yunshang and company.
Li Yunshang's eyes flashed coldly as he grunted heavily. "In a while, when you are in a state of utter misery, let's see if you can still be so sharp-tongued!"
He was eager to capture Yi Yun so that he could avenge the hatred in his heart.
But at that moment, a tragic cry suddenly sounded from the spatial passageway behind him.
Li Yunshang frowned and hurriedly turned his head. Immediately, his expression changed.
A Li family elite that had just been teleported in had only sent half his body over. The other half of his body had been torn to shreds in the spatial passageway.
At the same time, a tremendous suction force suddenly emitted from the space around the passageway. The spatial dimension laws turned extremely chaotic and it was constantly spreading. Like a plague, it rapidly spread across the entire herbal garden.
A few of the weaker Li family elites immediately revealed looks of horror. They were being torn apart by the spatial forces and soon, they were torn to shreds with tragic cries.
What was going on!?
Li Yunshang was alarmed. He could clearly sense that even he could not withstand the spatial changes. Furthermore, the changes were only becoming more intense!
"It's the Hornless Dragon Turtle!"
Li Jiuxiao's voice sounded from the other end of the passageway.
"Hornless Dragon Turtle?" Li Yunshang was alarmed. Hadn't the beast been stopped?
Li Jiuxiao was even more alarmed at that moment. He never expected that the Hornless Dragon Turtle would suddenly let out a determined roar after seeing Li Yunshang and company fly into the herbal garden. It suddenly turned its head and bit down at the World Stone.
"Darn it! This beast has gone mad! "
Li Jiuxiao never expected such a scene. His expression changed drastically as he struck out with his palm in a bid to stop the Hornless Dragon Turtle.
However, the Hornless Dragon Turtle completely ignored his attacks. Even though there were a few wounds on its head, it continued biting down at the World Stone.
The Hornless Dragon Turtle's strength was terrifying. After it bit down on the World Stone, the runes on the World Stone's surface trembled violently. Following that, the World Stone emitted an unbearable boom due to the Hornless Dragon Turtle's immense strength.
Ka Ka Ka!
The World Stone produced an unbearable cracking sound in the Hornless Dragon Turtle's gigantic mouth.
And the runes on its surface began to flicker.
"Come out!" Li Jiuxiao suddenly struck the Hornless Dragon Turtle in the head.
The Hornless Dragon Turtle let out a painful roar as it raised its head. However, it continued biting the World Stone without loosening its jaws.
Li Jiuxiao roared angrily as he conjured a gigantic palm. He extended it into the spatial passageway and grabbed Li Yunshang.
And at the instant Li Yunshang appeared, the World Stone crumbled. The spatial passageway also shattered.
"Ah!" Li Yunshang cried out tragically. One of his legs had not completely left the spatial passageway. As a result, half of his calf had been bitten off!
Ka Ka!
The Hornless Dragon Turtle completely shattered the World Stone.
Li Yunshang was in excruciating pain. He hugged his severed leg as his heart trembled. His calf had been reduced to a bloody pulp. Even the Li family would have to pay a huge price to regrow his leg. Furthermore, it was impossible for them to restore his leg to its former state.
At that moment, Li Jiuxiao could no longer care about Li Yunshang. He stood in midair as he watched the scene unfold. Without the World Stone, they would not be able to find the herbal garden even if they knew that it was in a nearby spatial node.
They never expected the Hornless Dragon Turtle to have such a violent personality. It would rather destroy the World Stone than allow them to enter the herbal garden.
A cooked duck had flown away just like that! They had already entered the herbal garden, but they had failed at the last step!
"B * stard! B * stard! "Li Jiuxiao trembled in anger.
At the critical moment, he had only managed to rescue Li Yunshang. After all, Li Yunshang was the most dazzling genius of the Li family's younger generation. It would be a pity if he died.
As for the Li family elites, they could only fend for themselves in the herbal garden. It was impossible for them to withstand the spatial storms caused by the World Stone's destruction.
As for Yi Yun … he was naturally the same. Either way, he would definitely die.
At that moment, the Hornless Dragon Turtle looked up and gave them a cold glance. Then, it slowly sank into the sea.
Li Jiuxiao hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not dare pursue it. The sea was the Hornless Dragon Turtle's territory.
Although the Hornless Dragon Turtle had been poisoned, it was not too severe. Furthermore, without the World Stone, it was meaningless to pursue it.
But when he thought of how the herbal garden was destroyed, Li Jiuxiao felt his chest tighten. A mouthful of blood welled up in his throat, nearly spewing it out. This was also because he had expended too much of his energy in the battle with the Hornless Dragon Turtle.
He roared a few times and struck out a few times at the surface of the sea.
The seawater churned violently but the roaring waves did not vent Li Jiuxiao's frustrations. Instead, it felt like it was mocking him.
Li Jiuxiao had expended a great deal of energy to begin with. After venting his frustrations, he did not have much Yuan Qi left. He flicked his sleeve and said through gritted teeth, "Let's go!"
He had suffered a double loss this time. Li Jiuxiao did not wish to stay here a moment longer.
As for Li Yunshang, his expression was not much better. He had not obtained anything from this trip. Instead, he had lost half his calf. He was in a wretched state and had barely managed to preserve his life.
Apart from not obtaining the herbal garden, Li Yunshang's greatest regret was not being able to finish Yi Yun off with his own hands.
