Chapter 258 The Trouble Caused by the Old Turtle at the Bottom of the Pool
They watched helplessly as ten Gengyan fruits went into the old turtle's mouth.
Several heart-wrenching screams echoed around the pool.
After two days of painstaking waiting, Ah Ying had been guarding the place day and night, dreaming of getting the fruit so that her master could refine a healing pill for her. Once she was healed and her cultivation was restored, she would go back to take revenge. But all of this turned out to be a pipe dream. At the last moment, an old turtle hidden at the bottom of the pool beat her to it. Who could tolerate this? Who could not?
"Stop holding back! The fruit has already been eaten, what's there to hold back?" Knowing full well that she was no match for the old tortoise, Aying swooped down and chased after it.
Wen Qiyuan and Wen Chengjian were even more annoyed.
Despite all their calculations, they never anticipated that there would be a demonic beast in the pool coveting the fruit.
They only defended against things that fly in the sky and run on the ground, but didn't think about things that swim in the water. It was a huge mistake, and a sense of frustration arose spontaneously.
The old tortoise ate the fruit, shaking its head and looking very happy. The sound of it chewing greatly stimulated the uncle and nephew.
The old tortoise squinted its small eyes, glancing sideways at the two people and the bird before it. Its disdainful gaze seemed to say, "You can't stop me from enjoying my delicious meal. You're overestimating yourselves by trying to take it from me. Continuing to fight will only humiliate you..."
Juice overflowing from the old turtle's mouth flowed down into the water, instantly creating a shimmering halo that enveloped the turtle. The turtle basked comfortably in the light.
Looking at the old turtle's appearance, then at the empty roots and leaves by the pool, and the serrations on the leaves, and comparing them to the old turtle's smug expression, Wen Qiyuan and Wen Chengjian could no longer tolerate it.
The uncle and nephew exchanged a glance and attacked simultaneously.
The two channeled their spiritual energy into their longswords, which grew longer and larger at a visible speed before stabbing towards the old tortoise.
The two attacked from the front and back, their flying swords swirling and strangling the old tortoise.
The old tortoise dodged the flying swords and sprayed several more water arrows at the two of them. The water arrows were very powerful, and the uncle and nephew had no way to avoid them, so they took out their protective shields and met them head-on.
Click!
The protective shield shattered, and the two were blasted several meters away by the water arrows, falling straight down from the height, landing face-first in an extremely awkward position, completely soaked.
"Hahaha......"
Unexpectedly, the old turtle burst into laughter, its arms and legs paddling back and forth on the water's surface.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Aying pecked hard at its eyes.
Unfortunately, the old tortoise easily dodged it, shot a jet of water as thick as a wrist at Aying, and said contemptuously, "You damn bird, are you out of your mind? Get lost, I don't want to play with you."
Ah Ying...
It is very insulting and very harmful.
Back then... back then my ass, a good man doesn't dwell on past glories.
Looking at its own cultivation level and then at the old tortoise's, A Ying felt a pang of sadness. It wanted to cry, wanted to hug its master, and missed its master terribly... whether it was its ex or its current master, it missed them both.
The warbler glanced sadly at the bare branch, chirped, and flew away.
Ignoring Aying's dejection, the old tortoise considered the attack of a mere bird beneath its notice. It glanced at the uncle and nephew rushing towards it again, a glint of light flashing in its eyes. A jet of water erupted from the middle of the pool, and the old tortoise stood atop this thick, bucket-like jet, roaring at the uncle and nephew, "You two, catch this—"
Then, the old turtle unleashed an overwhelming surge of spiritual power, sweeping out half the water from the pool and attacking Wen Qiyuan and Wen Chengjian.
The uncle and nephew were unable to spare any time, and they used their swords and spells to their fullest extent, enduring all the spiritual pressure in order to unleash a fierce attack on the old tortoise.
boom!
boom!
A deafening thud erupted in an instant, and the surroundings seemed to freeze. The next second, Wen Qiyuan and Wen Chengjian were sent flying backward like kites with broken strings. If it weren't for the stone wall behind them catching them, they wouldn't know where they would have been blasted to. It was because of this stone wall that the two collided from front to back, and the opposing forces generated a powerful positive and negative force. Both of them spat out a mouthful of blood at the same time.
“…Pfft…” After spitting out blood, Wen Chengjian tilted his head and slid down the stone wall to the ground.
“…Pfft…Da Lang, how are you?” Wen Qiyuan endured the pain and looked at Wen Chengjian. He saw that Wen Chengjian’s head was tilted to one side, but fortunately his chest was still rising and falling slightly.
Wen Qiyuan called out several times, and after a long while, Wen Chengjian finally answered, "...Second Uncle, I, I..."
Before the two could finish speaking, a powerful spiritual force from the pool forcibly pulled Wen Qiyuan away.
"Second Uncle..." Wen Chengjian didn't even have time to reach out Er Kang's hand before he watched helplessly as his second uncle was dragged to the edge of the pool by the old turtle.
At the same time, the old tortoise roared, "You brat over there, you take a breath and meditate first, it'll be your turn soon, hahaha, now, you play with me for a while..."
The first half of the sentence was addressed to Wen Chengjian, while the second half was clearly spoken to Wen Qiyuan.
Wencheng Sword...
What does "Old Turtle" mean by this?
Is it trying to wear them down with a war of attrition?
Anger welled up in Wen Chengjian's heart, and he wanted to rush over to help, but he had just exhausted his spiritual power in order to withstand the old tortoise's spiritual pressure. Without spiritual power, how could he help?
Now that he had been given a chance to catch his breath, he decided to focus on restoring his spiritual energy. He just hoped that his second uncle could hold on a little longer.
Wen Qiyuan, who had been caught by the old turtle and brought to the edge of the pond, kept a close eye on the turtle's movements. He saw the old turtle with its eyes slightly narrowed, looking quite relaxed, as if it were surfing in its own large aquarium.
Wen Qiyuan's eyes narrowed, and seizing the opportunity, he rushed towards the old turtle. He used all his skills on the water's surface, rapidly circling the old turtle, trying to cut off its head and limbs.
Unfortunately, the difference in strength was too great, and his every move was seen by the old tortoise.
The old turtle stretched out its front leg one second and then retracted it, then stretched out its hind leg the next second and retracted it again. On the surface, it seemed like it was being chased and slashed by Wen Qiyuan, but in reality, it was just teasing Wen Qiyuan.
When the old turtle got tired of playing, it suddenly retracted its head and limbs into its shell. The next second, the shell started spinning, and the speed increased. Finally, the rapidly spinning shell suddenly shot up as a wall of water, which rammed straight into Wen Qiyuan.
boom!
"puff......"
Wen Qiyuan was blasted against the stone wall again, landing in an embarrassing manner and splashing mud all over the ground.
Hearing a heavy thud, Wen Chengjian opened his eyes. He was about to say something to Wen Qiyuan when the old tortoise's voice rang out again, "Your turn! Come on, brat! Wahahaha..."
The next second, Wen Chengjian felt his feet leave the ground and he was in the pool in a flash.
What followed was a chase between the man and the tortoise, with the man dodging and the tortoise making a move, which the man would then attack. The tortoise would make another move, which the man would then attack again. When the tortoise got tired of playing with the man, it would blast him back to the stone wall.
After taking turns fighting like this for more than a dozen rounds, the uncle and nephew finally figured out the trick. When they were finally blasted back to the stone wall, they were able to land gracefully, no longer as disheveled as before.
Even the most fun games can get boring eventually. Perhaps the old turtle was also tired of it. For the last time, instead of chasing them away, it confined the two to the edge of the pool and let them admire its swimming style. Just as the old turtle was leisurely gazing at the sky at a 45-degree angle and sighing.
A bird's cry came from above the crack.
Immediately afterwards, an eagle carried the group of people down rapidly.
Sensing the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from above, the old tortoise immediately shrank in size, unleashed its demonic spiritual energy, and dragged Wen Qiyuan and Wen Chengjian, who were standing by the pool, into the bottom of the pool.
This scene startled the people sitting on the eagle, who jumped down at lightning speed.
Wenwen watched helplessly as the two of them were dragged into the pool by an old turtle and disappeared beneath the surface.
"Second Uncle—"
"Big brother-"
