Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 218 - 218 054 Get out!_3

218: Chapter 054 Get out!_3 218: Chapter 054 Get out!_3 The boundaries between the rivers were distinct.

The toll of the explosion had separated the Yellow Springs and the Vast Sea for good.

The Yellow Springs tried to roll upward and invade the Vast Sea, only to find that within the Vast Sea, the snow fluttered, ice shards shot back and forth, and thunder flashed.

Especially that thunder, which directly connected to the Thunder Pool, prevented it from advancing even an inch.

Oh?

Su He’s snake head and turtle head both lifted at once, marveling at this peculiar sensation.

Was this what Domain Integration felt like?

It was as if two streams were murmuring and converging into one, intermingling with each other.

The falling snow gracefully danced in the air before plunging into the sea, where the gentle waves rolled and carried along the snowflakes and ice.

The sensation was wondrous, akin to—holding hands?

Through the Domain, Su He could faintly sense Su Huanian’s mindset: clear and transparent with nothing else in mind but a single Intention—”Sword strike!”

“Don’t get lost in fanciful thoughts, focus on the enemy,” said Su Huanian, her voice as cold and sharp as the ringing of a sword.

She addressed the great snake staring at her.

The great snake spoke, “Do you know it’s me?”

This snake is so saturated with the scent of Soaring Snake, haven’t you suspected it?

Haven’t you considered cutting it down with a single sword strike?

Su Huanian’s vigilant stance nearly faltered.

Shaking her head softly, she said, “Appearances can change, scents can change, but the intrinsic charm in one’s eyes remains the same.”

Indeed!

Su He realized that even when he had donned the White Spirit’s White Jade Turtle Shell and transformed into a white Dragon Turtle, Su Huanian had still recognized him.

The more one’s heart is attuned to the sword and free of distractions, the more one can strike at the essence of things.

Su He shifted his gaze back to the Soaring Snake.

Its head was submerged in the water, the space around it shattered, obscuring the specifics.

“Seriously wounded?” A Divine God Beast wouldn’t be overwhelmed by a mere sword strike, so for Su He to not ask whether the Soaring Snake was dying was fortunate; that it could be critically injured by a surprise attack was nothing short of a miracle.

Su Huanian shook her head, “Just a flesh wound; it’s waiting for us to fall into its trap and get close.”

As a Sword Immortal, no one knew her sword better than herself.

With one stab, she knew instantly that she hadn’t fully succeeded—the Soaring Snake was merely luring the enemy.

The Soaring Snake’s tail, which had been tearing apart space, paused, as if embarrassed by its own clumsy acting.

The tail went still, space healed over.

Its head slowly lifted to face the enemy.

Its eyes finally rested on Su He’s serpent form.

This snake bore a five-part resemblance to its companions, only uglier for lacking wings!

The kinsfolk who arrived with it were refined by the Dragon Turtle Cubs into a part of their own essence.

This sensation of breathing as one, it felt as if the turtle and snake had tumbled out of the same egg.

It did not know how Su He had managed to achieve this, and dared not approach rashly, only daring to stir its Domain and inch forward strategically.

It had planned to lure and ambush, but ended up playing the fool instead.

The Soaring Snake’s tail whipped about, as the Yellow Spring Field rapidly contracted.

It roared heavenwards, “Summon!”

The projection of a grand Jubilant Death Tree slowly coalesced behind it.

Looking down at Su He and Su Huanian, she smirked coldly.

No matter what tricks you still have up your sleeves, I will summon the projection of the Jubilant Death Tree, and directly shatter this Thunder Pool!

Her Divine Skills had yet to fully recover, and she was gravely wounded.

The woman across was entwined with the Thunder Pool, making a direct assault costly and prolonged fighting unwise.

The Jubilant Death Tree specializes in rupturing spaces; it destroyed the entire Seven Absolute Secret Realm, and its Divine Skills naturally returned!

The core of the Secret land had already been taken by the Dragon Turtle, fearing not the destruction of the Secret land nor harm to the core.

Behind it, the Jubilant Death Tree grew more and more substantial, just as the Soaring Snake coiled around it, ready to unleash the power of the Jubilant Death Tree at any moment.

Then, a voice emanated from the Jubilant Death Tree.

“Scram!”

The Soaring Snake wore a look of total astonishment.

Branches of the Jubilant Death Tree whipped like lashes, cracking upon its body and instantly flaying it open, nearly splitting it in two.

It was Lei’s voice, had he not just snatched away the Jubilant Death Tree and still not finished Refining it.

The Jubilant Death Tree, resisting and protecting the Soaring Snake, aimed this whip straight for the Soaring Snake’s life.

In an instant, the Soaring Snake Moon Elder was dumbfounded, a roar of agony escaping it as it gazed at the dissipating projection of the Jubilant Death Tree, utterly at a loss.

Just then, from beneath the water surface, a massive snake suddenly leapt out, clamping its jaws onto the Soaring Snake, and a Dragon head appeared, tearing away a large chunk of flesh with a snarl.

Before the Soaring Snake could retaliate, an Immortal Sword, radiating endless murderous intent, pierced through the wound opened by the Jubilant Death Tree, and the storm of Snow, Thunder and Lightning erupted simultaneously.

Boom!

“Roar!”

With a scream, the Soaring Snake churned the Yellow Springs, using it as a shield in front of it and flicking its tail to drive out the Immortal Sword.

Its tail whipped forward, turning the sword into an arrow shooting straight at Su He and Su Huanian.

Su He dodged in a flash, taking Su Huanian with him, reappearing ten miles away.

The Immortal Sword pierced through the Thunder Pool, breaking out of the Seven Absolute Secret Realm, and was then summoned back by Huanian’s opposite hand.

Roaring furiously, the Soaring Snake glared at Su He with eyes full of anger.

“Jubilant Death Tree!” It grated its teeth while looking at Su He, as though it was Su He who had stolen the Jubilant Death Tree.

It recognized that voice saying “scram”—it was the Green Thunder of the Dragon Turtle!

Dragon Turtle!

Why was the Jubilant Death Tree in the hands of the Dragon Turtle?

As Su He’s giant snake returned, its belly bulging, that bite of Soaring Snake Meat it had torn off was enormous, suffice it to keep it satiated for a long while.

The moment the Jubilant Death Tree appeared, Su He knew the Soaring Snake had screwed up.

Of all things to summon, why summon the Jubilant Death Tree?

Instantly, he signaled Su Huanian to prepare to strike and had the giant snake submerge beneath the water, ambushing it with a successful strike unawares.

“Thanks for the gift of a Jubilant Death Tree, Yuan bro—hold on, you’re now called Soaring Snake Yue Lao, aren’t you?” Su He saw the pattern formed by the characters Moon Elder between its brows.

It was the death of another Soaring Snake that had transferred those characters to this one.

White Spirit and its wicked sense of humor.

Such an ugly snake truly wasted the name.

“Still unwilling to flee despite being injured this badly.

Are you waiting for the rescue of the seven clan elders of your kin?” Su He lifted his gaze toward it, the Soaring Snake bleeding profusely, already staining the Yellow Springs red.

Su He flicked its Dragon tail and mused, “Let me think, are you perhaps still harboring dreams of seizing my Secret land’s core, or even hoping that those seven old worms could trap my clan’s elders and, at best, hunt them down…”

“Are you out of your mind!”

“Roar!” Su He bellowed provocatively and mockingly.

Its claws slapped the sea surface, raising seven huge orbs of water, taking the form of seven enormous Soaring Snakes.

Then, one by one, they were torn to shreds by a pair of Dragon Turtles.

“Thanks for bringing along seven Soaring Snakes and the Jubilant Death Tree.

How else could my kin have reaped such a great harvest?” Su He looked at it, declaring with emotion, “The Soaring Snake hides in the shadows, had it not been for your help, my kin wouldn’t have been able to find these seven Soaring Snakes, let alone the Jubilant Death Tree!”

The Soaring Snake across from him suddenly stiffened, breathing heavier by the moment.
