Gu Qingfeng's words instantly set everyone's hearts racing.
They might not know if Gu Qingfeng truly possessed the Unshakable Body and Absolute Power as the rumors claimed.
But one thing they saw clearly: this fellow's physical body was unaffected by all the evil, venomous auras.
Coupled with the little turtle's indestructible shell and its terrifying biting power...
It wasn't impossible that drinking its blood could grant one an immensely powerful, unshakable body.
The Blackwind Duo exchanged a glance, their eyes brimming with unconcealable excitement.
Of course, both were old-timers who had cultivated for many years. They weren't blinded by their excitement, knowing things weren't that simple. They could also see the little turtle belonged to Gu Qingfeng. If the turtle really was a so-called divine beast, this guy should be frantic with worry. Why would he reveal the turtle's benefits, encouraging them to snatch it away?
A scheme!
This was absolutely a scheme!
This fellow definitely wanted them to fight until they were mutually exhausted, so he could swoop in and reap the rewards.
"Young man, this old woman advises you not to play such petty tricks before us. How could your little ploy deceive the many experts present?"
The speaker was Granny Qinghua. Clearly, she too had seen through Gu Qingfeng's so-called 'scheme'.
"Claiming to be peerless under heaven?
Slapping me so hard I'd question my life?
I say, kid, aren't you afraid of your tongue getting twisted by the big wind!"
Fenglie Old Monster glared at Gu Qingfeng, berating him: "Not old in years, but huge in arrogance. Do you really think I'm so easy to fool?
And saying you'll teach me a lesson on behalf of that kid Gu Tianlang?
Just based on you?"
"That's right. Just based on me."
"Hey!
Kid!
Don't think that even if you were Gu Tianlang's true successor, I'd fear you! Don't think putting on airs like you're the second biggest thing under heaven, acting all mysterious, will stop me from moving against you!
If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know how many eyes Lord Horse King has!"
Fenglie Old Monster was about to make a move to test Gu Qingfeng's depths.
However.
At that moment, the little turtle trapped within the formation suddenly underwent a strange transformation. Faint, flickering black radiance erupted from its body, boiling like water. Simultaneously, the dozen or so formations enveloping the little turtle inexplicably began to blur.
"That Gu fellow!! Not helping me is one thing, but adding insult to injury? Today, I swear I'll swallow you alive!"
After Gu Qingfeng told everyone the turtle's blood could make one immensely powerful, the little turtle was utterly enraged.
Enraged to the point of losing its senses, its eyes blood-red, its body shimmering with rolling, ink-black radiance.
Ah—! The little turtle roared, its head suddenly lunging forward, jaws snapping. Over ten formations instantly shattered and vanished under its bite.
Witnessing this, everyone was shocked.
Fenglie Old Monster was the first to react, summoning a spirit treasure—a treasure pagoda. The pagoda instantly suppressed the little turtle beneath it, then rapidly enlarged.
Suddenly.
The treasure pagoda trembled violently. With a *bang*, a crack appeared on the pagoda.
Fenglie Old Monster grunted.
This spirit treasure was a treasure he had refined for many years, long connected to his mind, his dantian, even his primordial spirit. Now that the pagoda cracked, his mind, dantian, and primordial spirit were all damaged, suffering backlash. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Radiance flashed around Fenglie Old Monster as rolling spiritual power erupted. With a wave of his hand, various spirit arts condensed and manifested, forming a formation that enveloped the little turtle. Unfortunately, it was useless. The formation had just taken shape when the little turtle bit down, and the formation instantly disintegrated.
At the same time, the Blackwind Duo, Granny Qinghua, and Daozun Xuanxin had all taken action, also deploying formations in an attempt to trap the little turtle again.
Alas.
It was completely useless.
No matter how profound the formations they deployed, the little turtle shattered them all with a single bite.
Formations were useless, so they unleashed immortal arts, summoning flying swords and magical treasures.
No good!
None of it worked.
Neither immortal arts nor flying sword magical treasures could budge the little turtle an inch. Striking its shell didn't even leave a mark. Not only that, their flying swords and magical treasures were bitten, some broken, some cracked. In the short span of a single breath, not only had Fenglie Old Monster suffered backlash from his destroyed treasure, but the Blackwind Duo, Granny Qinghua, and even Daozun Xuanxin were in the same state.
The little turtle paid them no mind. Its pair of blood-red eyes fixed dead on Gu Qingfeng, it ran step by step in this direction. No matter what immortal arts assailed it, they couldn't shake it in the slightest.
"That Gu fellow! I'll fight you to the death!"
The little turtle's four limbs suddenly exerted force, propelling it into the air. It opened its mouth and bit straight for Gu Qingfeng's neck.
Opposite.
Gu Qingfeng still sat on the rock with his legs crossed, a faint smile on his rather handsome face, one hand holding a wine gourd, drinking from its spout.
Seeing the little turtle tearing towards him, he unhurriedly raised a hand. With a *snap*, his fingers unerringly pinched the little turtle's shell.
"That Gu fellow! You really think pinching my shell means I can't do anything to you?"
The little turtle's head suddenly lunged, twisting like a small snake, and bit down on Gu Qingfeng's finger.
"Oh! Gained some skills after not seeing you for a few days!"
Gu Qingfeng narrowed his eyes, smiling. His left hand continued holding the wine gourd, drinking. The hand pinching the little turtle's shell flipped its palm, then grabbed the little turtle by the neck. As he applied slight pressure, the little turtle grimaced in pain. The moment he loosened his grip, it bit down on Gu Qingfeng's finger again.
"Not only have your skills grown, but your backbone too! Fine, let's see how long you can tough it out."
Gu Qingfeng drank leisurely, the hand gripping the little turtle's neck continuously increasing its force. The little turtle sweated profusely from the pain but still didn't let go. Finally, the pain twisted its small eyes and nose together. At last, it couldn't bear it anymore. Letting go, it tried to retract its head into its shell.
No matter how hard it tried, it couldn't retract. Gu Qingfeng's two fingers held it lightly, impossible to break free from. And as Gu Qingfeng's grip grew stronger, the little turtle wailed in agony!
"That Gu fellow! May you die a horrible death!"
"Let me go!! Let me go, it hurts! It hurts so much!"
"That Gu fellow, I'm warning you! If you don't let go, I swear I'll swallow you alive!"
"I am a True Spirit Divine Beast! A noble True Spirit Divine Beast!! You lowly human brat, daring to humiliate me! Once I restore my true form, I'll definitely eat you!"
The little turtle screamed at the top of its lungs, the ink-black radiance around its body growing denser as it struggled frantically.
It was useless.
No matter how it struggled, it still couldn't break free from between Gu Qingfeng's two fingers.
