Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 247 - 247 4 I Set the Rules_1

247: Chapter 4 I Set the Rules_1 247: Chapter 4 I Set the Rules_1 The battle was about to begin, and Su He lightly stamped the Mountain Divine God Seal on the ground beneath his feet, with a force akin to swatting a mosquito.

He hit five times in quick succession, boosting the attack power to sixfold before rising from the giant pit.

He landed at the foot of Chenfeng Mountain and looked over at the five Divine God Beasts approaching.

Bifang, Greedy Wolf, Zhu Yan, Fu Zhu, Zheng…

Each of the five Divine God Beasts had opened two Heavenly Boundaries, and although they were ordinary Divine God Beasts, not Four Spirits, Su He would find it extremely difficult to confront any one of them.

The gap in boundary statuses was hard to bridge.

Fortunately, Fu Zhu and Zheng showed some hesitation.

Fu Zhu was a pure white deer with four antlers.

Born with the ability to control water, Fu Zhu approached Su He in an encircling stance but with some reluctance.

The Water Dragon Turtle represented the pinnacle of water control, and among the five Divine God Beasts, it was the only one without absolute confidence in defeating Su He alone.

But it was also the one that could restrict Su He the most.

Su He had many Divine Skills related to water, whether it was his Domain, A thousand weigh, or even his inherent abilities to fly, Water Phase, and Snow Concealment—they all related to water.

Just a slight influence from Fu Zhu could lead to drastically different outcomes.

Among the five Divine God Beasts, Fu Zhu must be defeated first.

Another beast resisting the encirclement was Zheng, a red leopard with a single horn and five tails.

Each Zheng had different Divine Skills, with five tails harboring five different Innate Divine Abilities.

No one knew the Innate Divine Abilities of the unseen Zheng.

Zheng had a direct nature, liked to fight but only one-on-one combat; even if it had to take a beating, it did so alone against all.

Ganging up on a young beast that had just passed its Heavenly Tribulation violated its principles!

But opportunities to fight a Dragon Turtle were rare, and it didn’t want to give that up.

Zhu Yan, sandwiched between the two, looked from one to the other.

Its pale monkey face broke into a sneering laugh, “Fog, such a small heart to be a Divine God Beast?

Scared stiff by a young turtle?

You might as well give up your ability to control water.”

It spat out contemptuously, the tone growing increasingly frivolous, “To think you’re a water-type Divine God Beast, too afraid to even fight!

Coward!”

An extremely crude method of provocation, yet the gentle Fu Zhu actually began to show red in the eyes and stamped its hooves, gazing at Su He.

Zhu Yan, a white-headed red-footed ape-like creature, is a harbinger of utter chaos wherever it appears, thriving on warfare and emitting an aura of temptation, corruption, chaos, and savagery…

It turned to look at Zheng, which roared in anger, “Scram!

Dare you use your disgusting aura to affect me, I’ll tear you apart first!”

Zhu Yan’s wrinkled monkey face twisted into a conniving smile, “You think I want to influence you?

You’re not worthy!

What does a brute like you know about warfare?

You don’t even understand encirclement.

With you around, you’re just an obstacle, I simply advise you to retreat quickly, wait for us to finish our battle, and then you can go back to scavenging!”

“Roar!” Zheng roared furiously, its eyes turning blood-red as it pounced towards Zhu Yan, who nimbly dodged and responded with a screech, “So foolish and yet you won’t admit it!

Who is the enemy now?

Got the energy to rush at the Dragon Turtle, but you target me?

Do you even understand warfare?”

Zheng leaped up immediately, slapping Zhu Yan to the ground and then twisting its head to look towards the Dragon Turtle ahead.

Zhu Yan bounced on the ground a few times before jumping up and sidling away.

A mouth curled up; when did the instigator not get hit?

A swipe from Zheng vented his frustration and successfully redirected its aggression towards the Dragon Turtle; Zhu Yan achieved its objective.

It stood up to see the Dragon Turtle slightly squinting at it.

Hit Zhu Yan first!

In a war between two armies, eliminate the one with the loose tongue first—can’t go wrong with that!

With such an agitator around.

If it’s not repulsed, one can’t achieve the deterrent effect on the beasts that one did in the first round.

After defeating Zhu Yan, there would be no lingering in battle, immediately ascend the mountain!

Su He couldn’t possibly win against so many Divine God Beasts alone; he could only rely on the trials of Chenfeng Mountain.

They were still at the foot of Chenfeng Mountain.

The hundred-zhang climb was just the beginning of the trial, with Formations constantly attacking.

Whatever Token one could obtain while enduring the attacks determined which dwelling one would occupy.

Fighting here was too disadvantageous.

Once inside Chenfeng Mountain, all Divine God Beasts would be attacked, making it effectively his own enemies +1, their enemies +4.

Rounded up, it’s as if they are helping him!

Su He moved decisively, his figure flashing as the Divine God Machine came into play, placing him beside Zhu Yan in an instant, the Mountain Divine God Seal heading straight for Zhu Yan.

With the power multiplied by six, his move was a deathblow.

It had begun!

On White Sand Island, the adult Divine God Beasts looked this way.

Some nodded their heads, while others shook them.

Hitting Zhu Yan was both right and wrong.

Ideally, one should strike before Zhu Yan could speak, knocking it out before it could stir up trouble.

But now that the five beasts were encircling, the move should have been to hit Fu Zhu first.

The Little Dragon Turtle was still young, with too short a time since its tribulation, lacking deep knowledge of the various Divine God Beasts.

Zhu Yan wasn’t good at fighting, but it wasn’t easy to provoke.

If not careful, all could be lost.

“Take it easy!

Take it easy!” the Bifang Bird chimed in the instant Su He moved, twinkling into action.

It merged entirely into a large tree, then emerged again beside Zhu Yan.

Its wings beat furiously, creating a mighty wind that clashed with the Mountain Divine God Seal.

It didn’t like Zhu Yan either.

The Zhu Yan Clan caused strife everywhere, something the Divine God Beasts would rather avoid at all costs, but found Zhu Yan quite useful when on their side.

As its wings struck out, Zhu Yan pounded its chest, its fists like cannons also aiming for the Mountain Divine God Seal.

A crane and an ape struck at the Mountain Divine God Seal simultaneously.

Su He’s figure flashed, already appearing behind them, still with a Mountain Divine God Seal thundering down.

This throw was still aimed at Zhu Yan, as injuring one finger was better than hurting ten.

In the blink of an eye, the two seals collided.

Zhu Yan ducked its head and tunnelled into the ground using Earth Escape, leaving Bifang to be struck by the collision of two divine seals, exploding with a blast transforming into a sky full of flames shooting in all directions, burrowing into the trees.

Trees caught fire in an instant, blazing fiercely yet not burning down; instead, it was as if the trees donned cloaks of fire.
