Creatures like the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle are truly the darlings of the heavens.
Especially in terms of defense, even beings that surpass the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle by an entire Realm can hardly breach its defenses.
According to historical records, although the probability of a Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle being born is very low, their survival rate far exceeds that of other mystical creatures.
Besides their extremely strong defensive power, the offensive capabilities of the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle are also formidable.
Particularly the deadly poison inherited from serpent-like mystic beasts; once poisoned, one is bound to either die or be seriously injured.
However, the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle usually spends most of its time in slumber, disliking combat and slaughter, gentle by nature compared to the vast majority of mystic beasts.
Otherwise, with the capabilities of the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle, it could have made a much bigger name for itself in the realm of mystic beasts.
This Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle stared blankly at Xu Fan, clearly somewhat panicked.
It never expected that its most reliable poison attack could not cause Xu Fan any harm at all—a scene far beyond its comprehension.
Damn, there was simply no way to continue like this, okay?
But then a flash of insight struck the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle’s mind, and it suddenly remembered that its greatest skill was not offense, but defense.
Just as the saying goes, “Let others be strong, Qingfeng brushes the hills; let others be stern, the bright moon shines upon the river,” even if the opponent is powerful, if they can’t break through its defense, then it remains in an invincible position.
With this thought, the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle’s previously panicked mood settled, and it withdrew its head and limbs back inside its sturdy shell.
This move was decidedly resolute, without the slightest hesitation.
Its shell was its greatest reliance; even if its offense was weak, it still had defense.
Knowing the defensive strength of its shell, even a missile would dream of harming it.
“Damn human thief, I, your lord, am being magnanimous this time and won’t bother with you.
Leave now, and I’ll spare your life!”
The Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle declared from inside its shell, still daring to boast in front of Xu Fan.
Xu Fan couldn’t help shaking his head with a chuckle.
This Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle was indeed cunning, but unfortunately, playing such clever tricks was completely useless in front of him.
Xu Fan said with a light smile, “Big black turtle, considering the difficulties of your cultivation, I will give you one more chance to choose.
Will you agree to my demands, or shall I slaughter you?
Your fate is in your own hands.”
“…” The Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle fell silent, seemingly weighing its options.
Xu Fan was in no hurry and waited quietly.
But soon, the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle resumed bragging, “Don’t try to scare me.
If you have the guts, then come at me!”
Xu Fan shook his head, somewhat amused and exasperated.
It seemed this Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle was far too confident in its shell—it wasn’t going to shed tears until it saw the coffin.
If that was the case, it looked like Xu Fan would have to use force to bring the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle to its senses.
With that thought, Xu Fan immediately charged forward without hesitation.
His hands emitted a dazzling golden light.
“`
Slap, slap, slap…
Xu Fan continuously patted on the turtle shell with his palm, seemingly at random, but with each strike a dull collision sound echoed.
In reality, Xu Fan was not just using brute strength, but a special technique called “Striking the Cow Beyond the Mountain.”
This technique meant that the power would pass through the firm turtle shell and attack the flesh inside the shell.
At first, the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle tried to endure the pain, but it soon became too much, and it began to wail miserably.
“Ouch, ouch, it hurts to death, it hurts to death…”
“You damned human, stop it right now, if you stop now, I shall not hold this against you,” it declared.
“Enough already, stop it, if you keep going I’m really going to lose my life.
Let’s both take a step back now, so we can each live our own lives without interfering with each other,” it begged.
“I was wrong, I was wrong, please spare me…” it pleaded.
From its initial defiance and threats, it didn’t take long for the creature to start begging for mercy.
Actually, Xu Fan hadn’t really dealt any serious blows to the creature; he was only causing it pain.
The Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle was naturally timid and cowardly, not used to suffering in the slightest, so when Xu Fan employed a slightly more aggressive technique, it couldn’t take it anymore.
After Xu Fan pounded it for a while longer, knowing that the turtle was close to tears, he finally stopped.
?????.??
For dealing with a creature like the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle, it was necessary to settle things once and for all, to prevent it from causing trouble later on.
“Alright, you can come out now, can’t you?” Xu Fan said coolly as he ceased.
The Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle hurriedly responded, “Coming out right now, I’ll come out this instant…”
With that, it quickly extended its limbs and head from the turtle shell, then pitifully looked at Xu Fan and meekly said, “May I know if you have any orders, sir?
I, Little Gui, am weak and probably not much help.”
Xu Fan’s expression darkened as he scolded, “Well aren’t you a sly turtle, daring to live within the territory of humans.
You really are bold as brass, not putting humans in your eyes at all.”
The Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle trembled all over in fear and hurriedly explained, “Sir, you misunderstand, I’m not a bad demon beast, I’m a good one.
Although I live here, I’ve never harmed a human.
I’m mostly vegetarian, I haven’t even harmed livestock, please see the truth!”
Towards the end, the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle even seemed to cry, as if it couldn’t do more to convey its sincerity.
In fact, the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle wasn’t lying; it originally lived a carefree life in the vast seas.
But ever since a thousand years ago, when a very domineering and powerful demon beast appeared in the ocean, determined to subdue all other demons to establish its territory, the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle refused to submit.
Relying on its strong defensive abilities, it resisted the attack, fled to land, and after some turns of events, ended up here.
While the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle was powerful, its character was quite timid, fearing to attract the attention of the powerful among the humans.
So, it found a cave and after sprucing it up, began to sleep away.
Sleeping was, after all, the Xuan Chu Heavenly Turtle’s favorite activity, and it passed the time unwittingly for a thousand years.
It was only now, suddenly awakened by Xu Fan, that it even realized how much time had passed.
