CHAPTER 1596: CHAPTER 1595: COUNTERATTACK

Boom——

With a huge sound, a Profound Turtle Giant Beast suddenly descended from the sky, its size actually exceeding fifty thousand feet.

At this moment, as soon as this giant turtle appeared, it immediately swung its sharp claws, directly smashing down towards the bandits’ warships.

Under this sudden attack by the giant turtle, the unprepared bandits were instantly struck by the turtle’s assault.

Immediately, countless Martial Artists were severely injured by this powerful force.

Many bandits with low cultivation were directly sent to the afterlife under its attack, without even having time to scream, turning to dust in an instant.

The bearded man, seeing this situation, also hurriedly dodged, looking extremely embarrassed at the moment.

If he hadn’t reacted in time at the moment he was about to be attacked, he might already be injured by now.

Subsequently, he carefully examined the Profound Turtle and found that it was just a Profound Turtle Giant Beast of the Creation Realm Third Layer, whose strength was actually not stronger than his, but its sheer size was what caused them harm.

After figuring this out, he immediately swung the giant axe in his hand and swung it towards the turtle.

"Beast, how dare you ruin Master Deng’s business and hurt my men, today I’ll make sure you taste what it’s like to be chopped in half."

The bearded man glared at the turtle and shouted, then flew forward brandishing his giant axe to attack.

Hearing the bearded man’s insult to the Little Profound Turtle, Lin Chen immediately shook his head, secretly thinking, this guy is really tired of living, daring to insult the Little Profound Turtle. This guy doesn’t like being called a beast at all.

"You damn bearded man, dare to insult me... me like this, today I’ll take your life."

The Little Profound Turtle said this and immediately opened its mouth, a giant storm surge shot out like a serpent from the sky, winding straight towards the bearded man.

"Could this be Purified Water? Boss Deng, be careful, this giant turtle is not an ordinary Magical Beast but a Xuanwu Descendant with the Xuanwu Bloodline. This water has an immense oppressive force, weighing a hundred times heavier than ordinary seawater. Once enveloped, it’s hard to escape."

Gu Zixuan saw the giant water tornado spat out by the Little Profound Turtle and immediately warned the bearded man, his eyes also filled with fear as he gazed at the Little Profound Turtle.

"Senior Brother Zhao, how can a Profound Turtle Giant Beast suddenly appear here, and it’s even a Xuanwu Descendant with the Xuanwu Bloodline? Our Cloud Dragon Kingdom doesn’t seem to have such exotic beasts."

Xu Yufang looked at the gray-clad man Zhao Jing, asking in fright.

As Inner Sect Disciples of the Yunlong Heavenly Palace, they were naturally well-versed, far surpassing these bandits like the bearded man.

Although the giant turtle in front of them had only the cultivation of the Creation Realm Third Layer, a descendant with the Xuanwu Bloodline cannot be viewed with the same perspective as an ordinary Magical Beast.

Despite Boss Deng’s cultivation being one realm above this turtle, they believed he would definitely not be a match for it.

Upon hearing Gu Zixuan’s warning, Boss Deng was immediately terrified, hurriedly retracting his giant axe, and quickly dodged, not daring to face the water tornado head-on, fearing being trapped by it.

Although he had never witnessed a Profound Turtle like a Xuanwu Descendant, he had heard of its might.

Such exotic beasts are extremely powerful; though its realm is lower than his by one, he had no confidence in defeating it.

And at this moment of contact, he immediately felt a strong sense of crisis from the water tornado spat out by the Profound Turtle Giant Beast. Had it not been for Gu Zixuan’s reminder, he might have been crushed to death by these giant waves.

Whoosh——

Having witnessed the power of the Profound Turtle Giant Beast, he dared not linger, immediately turning to perform a movement technique, fleeing in panic without caring for his underlings.

Upon seeing this, the other bandits dared not stay to fight either; their boss had fled, would continuing to stay here not be tantamount to courting death?

As the bearded man and the bandits fled, they even abandoned their warships here.

"Damn bearded man, trying to escape, it won’t be that easy."

The Little Profound Turtle watched the bearded man flee for his life and immediately moved its massive body at surprising speed, pursuing him directly.

The crowd watched as the bearded man fled in such embarrassment, inwardly cursing him.

They had originally hoped the bearded man could break through the defensive array and rescue them.

After all, they were trapped in this array, unable to escape, and crucially, with the Blood Contract, they couldn’t attack Lin Chen and the others.

The sudden appearance of this Xuanwu Descendant, they weren’t sure if it was related to Lin Chen.

If it was, then things became tricky.

Because once the Profound Turtle deals with these bandits, it would soon be their turn.

So Gu Zixuan, Xu Yufang, and the others quickly sped up their attacks on the formation on the flying boat.

Seeing the Profound Turtle appear and defeat a thousand-strong bandit army, and frightening the bearded man into abandoning his men and battleship to flee, Zi Ling and Cheng Liang were shocked.

"Junior Brother Lin Chen, does this Profound Turtle Giant Beast in front of us have any connection to you?"

Zi Ling looked at Lin Chen and asked.

After all, the timing of this Xuanwu’s appearance was too coincidental, and they had never heard of any Xuanwu Descendants in the Cloud Dragon Kingdom.

So, if they said it had nothing to do with Lin Chen, they wouldn’t believe it no matter what.

Lin Chen, hearing Zi Ling’s words, remained expressionless, offering no response.

And at the distance where the bandits fled, a black shadow could be seen suspended in the sky, eyes glowing with golden light, watching the battle there.

This was none other than Lin Chen’s true body.

The one on the flying boat was never Lin Chen’s true body.

Several days ago, alongside Gu Zixuan, Zi Ling, and the others boarding the flying boat was not Lin Chen’s true body, but one of his Divine Soul Puppets.

This Divine Soul Puppet was one where Lin Chen used a Talisman Inscription to alter the aura of its cultivation, its real combat power unable to compare to Lin Chen’s true body.

But since there was no need for Lin Chen to truly act on the flying boat, he wasn’t worried about exposure.

At this moment, around Lin Chen’s true body, numerous Fire Beasts with Creation Realm cultivation were waiting eagerly.

These Fire Beasts were those Lin Chen subdued beneath the Fire Sea at Yang Flame Island.

Lin Chen had long known Gu Zixuan and the others harbored ulterior motives in escorting them, so he was well-prepared.

It seemed they were Gu Zixuan and others’ prey, but unbeknownst to them, Lin Chen had long played the role of the hunter.
