Chapter 172 Zhu Kui: I'll Cover the Rear

"Where did these powerful demons come from? Why are they all coming towards us?"

With a powerful demon blocking their path in front and a horde of demons chasing after them from behind, Su Wuchen and his companions were filled with doubts.

Suddenly, so many monsters appeared out of nowhere, targeting them. Who wouldn't be bewildered?

"It must be him!"

Su Wuchen thought back to the feeling of being secretly watched just now.

He guessed that it was very likely that someone had caused trouble for the three of them as they continued to venture deeper into the Valley of Ten Thousand Cultivators!

"he?"

"The person who's been secretly watching us!"

Su Wuchen said in a deep voice, "The most urgent task is to escape unscathed from the pursuit of these demonic beasts!"

"Stop fooling around. See that giant tortoise up ahead? It has the bloodline of Xuanwu, and its defensive power is incredibly strong. It's blocking our way; how can we possibly get past it?"

The Heavenly Prison Beast gestured towards the giant tortoise in front of them. With such a colossal creature blocking their path, escaping from the encirclement of these demonic beasts would definitely not be an easy task!

"Then let's fight them!"

Su Wuchen shouted and thrust the Bright Moon Dragon Spear directly at the giant tortoise in front of him.

"I'll lead the way! You guys follow!"

"good!"

As the strongest member of the team, the task of clearing the way undoubtedly fell to Su Wuchen.

Therefore, facing the giant tortoise blocking his way, Su Wuchen didn't waste any words and charged towards it. As long as he could defeat the giant tortoise, although there were many pursuers behind him, they wouldn't pose much of a threat to them.

But when Su Wuchen unleashed his full power and struck the giant tortoise with a spear as swift as a dragon, he finally understood why the Heavenly Prison Beast had said that this guy's defense was astonishing.

The powerful attack failed to leave a single mark on the giant tortoise's shell!

On the contrary, the recoil from the force caused his arm to feel a slight soreness, which was truly terrifying.

"This guy's defense must be over a billion, right?"

Su Wuchen smacked his lips.

His combat power has reached one billion, but even such powerful attacks cannot break through the giant tortoise's shell!

It's easy to imagine how amazing the defensive capabilities of this giant tortoise's shell are!

but----

"Increase!"

"Give me a boost!"

The amplification power brought by the Bright Moon Illuminating Dragon Spear instantly boosted Su Wuchen's combat power to over two billion.

The powerful amplification allowed Su Wuchen's Bright Moon Dragon Spear to easily break through the giant tortoise's defenses!

The spear pierced the tortoise's shell, and the force surged through the tortoise's body.

The giant tortoise roared in pain, and the defensive power of its shell instantly increased. At the same time, giant pythons, each tens of meters long, rushed out from under its shell and began to bite and coil towards Su Wuchen.

No wonder it has the bloodline of Xuanwu!

The spear tip trembled, transforming into streaks of spear flowers, slaying the attacking giant pythons one by one. However, before Su Wuchen could make another move, a large amount of water suddenly spewed out from the giant tortoise's mouth!

Like a river bursting its banks, the water surged forth.

"Earthen wall!"

Bang bang bang!

Su Wuchen's magic was no match for the giant tortoise's saliva.

Not only that.

Just as the saliva was about to land on Su Wuchen, Su Wuchen made a strange discovery: hidden within the saliva were a large number of water arrows!

If Su Wuchen had truly mistaken it for saliva, he would have suffered a severe blow!

"Wow, they really know how to have fun."

Su Wuchen retreated with his gun, only to see the giant tortoise raise its heavy claws and bring them down toward his position.

Rumble.

The enormous size of the tortoise, combined with its immense force, caused the ground to shake and crack the moment its claws struck, much like an earthquake.

"What a fine descendant of Xuanwu!"

Su Wuchen rushed forward quickly, his spear amplified once more, and he moved like a streak of light towards the giant tortoise's wound.

however.

The giant tortoise seemed to have anticipated this, as its shell underwent a strange transformation.

Strange inscriptions rose continuously on his tortoise shell, radiating golden light, like some kind of extremely mysterious pattern. After merging several times, they transformed into a very tough defensive armor that landed on the giant tortoise.

This time, Su Wuchen failed to break through the giant tortoise's defenses.

Simultaneously.

The giant tortoise's defense reached an astonishing three billion!

Damn DJ!

Su Wuchen couldn't help but make a comment.

This is way too outrageous!

He relied on the Bright Moon Dragon Spear to only increase his combat power to 2 billion in a short period of time, but the giant tortoise's move increased his defense power to 3 billion!

Such astonishing defensive power would probably be difficult for even a top-tier expert to break through easily.

"withdraw!"

"I can't break through their defenses, not even a little bit!"

Su Wuchen called to the Heavenly Prison Beast and Zhu Kui, and they changed direction.

If you can't beat them, can't you at least run away?

"Weren't you the one clearing the way?"

"Damn, their defense is terrifying."

Su Wuchen was speechless. If nothing unexpected happened, even a mid-stage second-grade Venerable wouldn't be able to withstand his attack just now.

But they couldn't break through the giant tortoise's defenses!

Moreover, this was after the giant tortoise had been injured by him first!

If the giant tortoise hadn't been careless and had immediately maximized its defenses, it wouldn't have been able to injure the tortoise, let alone break its fur!

"I have a way!"

Just then, Zhu Kui, like a cat that had smelled blood, stared at the giant tortoise with bloodshot eyes.

Su Wuchen and the Heavenly Prison Beast looked over at the same time. "You two go first, I'll cover the rear!"

"???"

"Are you crazy?"

The Heavenly Prison Beast immediately offered the most reasonable deduction: "You're just a mere early-stage Rank 3, and you're here to cover the rear??"

"I have a way! Trust me!"

Zhu Kui licked his lips, his eyes fixed on the giant tortoise, and said, "I'm going to eat this turtle!"

Su Wuchen and the other man exchanged a glance and both shook their heads.

"Then you can stay."

Su Wuchen left a message, mounted the Heavenly Prison Beast, and galloped away into the distance.

After Su Wuchen and the others left, Zhu Kui committed suicide by rushing towards the giant tortoise. Just as the giant tortoise raised its massive claws with a disdainful expression, Zhu Kui was instantly reduced to a cloud of blood mist.

This scene completely stunned the giant turtle.

"Trying to stage an accident, huh?"

Su Wuchen and the other person were also dumbfounded.

You self-destructed before they even laid their claws on you?

"Is this the solution he was talking about?"

"Well----"

"At least it caught the big tortoise off guard for a moment, and it didn't stop us, did it?"

"If that's what you're saying—"

The Heavenly Prison Beast thought for a moment, then said, "That makes a lot of sense."

Whoosh whoosh.

Just as the two were dumbfounded by Zhu Kui's crazy move, a larger bird, even faster, rushed in front of them.

Damn it.
