Chapter 92: Chapter 65: Endure until Death _2

Now, Xu Yang’s water army had just been established, and he had “sentries” constantly monitoring the movements of the Giant Turtle.

As soon as the sentries transmitted the message informing of any unusual movements from the Giant Turtle, Xu Yang, this “Dragon King,” would lead his water army and the school of fish to relocate, making sure that the Giant Turtle could not feast on any large fish of Spirit Monster or Alien Beast level— limiting it to preying on small fish and shrimp for sustenance.

In this way, over time, the Giant Turtle, unwilling to expend its energy, completely gave up hunting for food and instead contracted at the edge of the Forbidden Area, subsisting on the Blackwater Spiritual Qi.

Now, with the establishment of Great Ye in its beginning stages and his forces strong, should Xu Yang immediately launch an attack against the Giant Turtle?

Of course not!

Three years of preparation was not enough to defeat the Giant Turtle.

Neither Xu Yang himself nor the newly-formed water army could pose a threat to the Giant Turtle.

So, the waiting game continued.

Time flew by in such a manner.

Spring came and went, and flowers bloomed and wilted season after season.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, fifteen years had passed.

In the Blackwater River, at the edge of the Forbidden Area.

“Aooooo!!! ”

A roar, akin to a dragon’s chant, carried boundless rage and shook the waters in all directions.

A Giant Turtle, its form as massive as a mountain, roared skyward.

“Green loach, worthless fish, come out, come out now!”

“If you’re brave enough, come out and fight me to the death, ahhh!”

A strong wave of mental energy erupted, rushing through the water in all directions.

But there was no response.

This made the Giant Turtle even more furious.

One could see that at this moment, it no longer possessed its former composure.

Its eyes were dense with blood vessels.

The top of its head was covered in scorch marks.

The shell of the Mystical Tortoise on its back, once the hardest part, was now also riddled with scars.

Between anger and mania, there was nothing but fear and helplessness.

How did it come to this?

“Come out!!!”

The Giant Turtle roared furiously, disturbing the ten directions, but still, there was no response from its surroundings.

Having no choice, it had to give up this futile act of provocation and angrily urged the water to carry its body away.

Just then…

“Crackle, snap, crackle, snap!”

In the depths of the black water, electricity flashed, and a net of lightning fell from above, enveloping the Giant Turtle.

Upon seeing this, the Giant Turtle quickly withdrew its head and limbs into its shell, adopting the strongest defensive posture to resist the onslaught of the electric net.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!”

In an instant, electricity rampaged and sparks flew, leaving several scorched marks on the shell and scattering ash and debris in the water.

After a while, the electric net dispersed.

The Giant Turtle extended its head and looked up to see a brilliant golden light from a distance above.

That was… eels, golden all over, flashing with electric lights, hundreds of them.

Hundreds of Electric eels, all Demon Monsters, among which more than a dozen had reached the limit of Demon Monsters, similar to the former Electric Eel King, with bulges on their heads, fleshy growths on their bellies, barely hidden horns, and claws as if they were about to burst forth.

But all of this was eclipsed by the dazzling green light within their ranks.

Green Jade light, resplendent as ever.

On closer inspection, it turned out to be a… Green Fish?

It was over eighteen feet long and about seven feet around.

Atop its head, a solitary horn stood out like green jade.

Above its mouth, six golden barbels flickered with electricity.

Below its fins, between its chest and belly, danced two claws.

With three toes on each claw, it was indeed a Jiao Dragon, a Green Jiao Fish Dragon.

The Green Jiao Fish Dragon, commanding the shoal of eels, was also surrounded by bursts of electric light.

“Crackle and pop!!!”

The Green Jiao crackled with electricity, the eels responded, and a Demon Beast together with hundreds of Demon Monsters stimulated the electric currents within their bodies to weave an electric net.

“Boom!”

Hundreds of lightning bolts converged into thunder, striking mercilessly. The Giant Turtle hurriedly retracted its head, using its back shell for defense.

But such was the terror of the thunder, even the Mystical Tortoise’s carapace was blasted open by a formidable hit, leaving a shocking, gaping crack.

“Roar!!!”

In pain, the Giant Turtle let out a mournful cry and angrily invoked its Innate Divine Ability — Earth Yuan Heavy Water, pressing directly towards the Green Jiao and the multitude of eels.

However, what they saw was…

The Green Jiao roared in unison, thrusting forward, its body swiftly twirling into a whirlpool, effectively scattering the Earth Yuan Heavy Water. Witnessing this scene, fury surged in the Giant Turtle’s heart.

It had been careless!

Fifteen years ago, it had been careless!

It had failed to notice the schemes of this little thief, letting its guard down and allowing him to grow powerful within the Blackwater River, gathering forces, practicing military tactics, attaining such might.

When it first discovered Xu Yang’s methods, it was disdainful, not believing that a mere Green Fish could muster any real threat. Even if it could, it would have found the Divine Mansion, taken control of the divine seal, and governed the entire Blackwater River in the meantime.

So initially, its attitude was entirely dismissive, treating it as a joke – watch him build tall towers, watch them collapse…

Yet the towers did not collapse, but instead grew ever taller and larger, while the Divine Mansion it sought remained elusive.

Now, its opponent was well-established, with strong soldiers at its command, while it was alone and unaided.

How could this be?

You, a mere fish, are also rearing fish?

That was fine, but how did you rear all these creatures?

Does this Blackwater Spiritual Qi really possess such miraculous effects that it could casually nurture a host of Demon Monsters?

If so, why were there only five overlords in the deep water zone before? Did the other Spirit Monsters and Alien beasts not absorb Blackwater Spiritual Qi?

It couldn’t understand, just couldn’t make sense of it – the Giant Turtle was completely baffled!

There was only one thing it was clear about now.

And that was… it was in danger.

This damn Green Mudskipper had nurtured fish for over a decade and raised a horde of Demon Monsters, among which the most dreadful were the hundreds of Demon Monster-class Electric eels that called themselves the “Electro Department” Water Army. Each one was as powerful as the former Electric Eel King, possessing terrifying electric control abilities.

Thus, with the Electric Department Water Army numbering in the hundreds, plus itself having successfully broken through and advanced to a Demon Beast, arranged in the “Electro Department” formation, they all activated their electric current powers, transforming them into thunderous assaults. Even with its thick shell, it felt its scalp tingle from the bombardment.

After several rounds of being hunted and bombarded, it was already scarred and injured both inside and out.

If this continued, it surely couldn’t hold on.

What to do?

Flee, but where to?

Its movements so slow, and with the Green Mudskipper persistently harassing it, where could it possibly escape to?

The Black Water Forbidden Area?

No, that was not an option. This Green Mudskipper was exceedingly cunning and sly. The current siege had capitalized on the moment it entered the Forbidden Area, absorbed full of Spiritual Energy, and caught it unprepared while exiting heavily laden. Now, with unrefined Blackwater Spiritual Qi filling its body, entering the Forbidden Area again was tantamount to courting death.

What to do?

Was there truly no way out?

No, even in death, it wouldn’t let this Green Mudskipper have it easy!

The Giant Turtle gave a defiant roar and prepared to make a desperate stand.

Unexpectedly…

“Retreat!”

Xu Yang flicked his tail, leading the Electro Department Water Army to decisively dodge its ferocious attack.

Thinking of mutual destruction was overly ambitious.

Witnessing such a shameless tactic, the Giant Turtle’s eyes nearly burst with rage, almost spewing blood.

But Xu Yang didn’t care, determined to use Kite Tactics, dragging out the fight, wearing it down to death.

Rather than claiming any spoils of war, he would rather force the Giant Turtle into the Black Water Forbidden Area, than to risk a life-and-death struggle with it.

In the face of this, the Giant Turtle was helpless. Its own speed was slow, and its Earth Yuan Heavy Water had been neutralized by the opponent, leaving it with no means to fight for its life. And so, three days later…

“Boom!! ! ”

Struck by electricity, the body of the Giant Turtle fell to the ground with a thunderous crash.

Its eyes were wide open, as if it had died with unseeing eyes.

A millennium old soft-shelled turtle, a ten-thousand-year-old tortoise; it, the Blackwater Mystical Tortoise, naturally exceptional among its kind, was now, incredulously, boiled to death by a fish!

How could it rest in peace in the netherworld?
