CH 83

The third Presented Scholar stepped forward and once again used the cost of ten years of life to unleash his "Blue Blood and Fiery Heart" technique.

"Within the scabbard lies Ganjiang Sword..."

Before the third Presented Scholar could finish reciting his "War Poetry of Ganjiang and Moye", the demon turtle launched an attack.

Mr. Wang suddenly threw his mountain-shaped pen holder, which transformed into a solid mountain that slammed into the demon turtle.

This treasure of literature was powerful enough to severely injure an ordinary demon, but the demon turtle only staggered back a step and shook its head.

At this moment, the "War Poetry of Ganjiang and Moye" was completed, and two swords, one red and one white, flew out and slashed at the demon turtle. Although their power was not as great as the Imperial Scholar's "War of Words", they carried a faint aura of righteousness, which was the demon barbarian's nemesis.

The demon turtle dared not be careless and once again retreated into its shell, covering its six orifices. The Ganjiang and Moye swords could not harm the demon turtle, so they could only attack its shell repeatedly.

"Quick, run!" Mr. Wang shouted.

"Take care!" The students all said as they began to flee, and the Presented Scholar carried Chen Xibi and ran away.

Soon, the Ganjiang and Moye swords disappeared, and before the demon turtle could raise its head, the fourth Presented Scholar activated his "Blue Blood and Fiery Heart" technique.

The other Presented Scholars stood on tree stumps or behind broken trees, constantly running to keep their distance, attacking the demon turtle with their words and their pens.

The fourth wave of righteousness spread out, and the power of everyone's war poetry increased by 40%.

Finally, the demon turtle realized that if it continued to fight, it would eventually be killed by the Presented Scholars' "Blue Blood and Fiery Heart" technique, which would drain all of its blood and energy.

"No one can kill me! I'm going to ascend to the Dragon Platform and become a dragon!" The demon turtle roared in anger, and the war poetry carrying a faint aura of righteousness landed on its head, causing its skin to crack and blood to flow. Even its powerful self-healing ability was reduced to only 30%.

The attacks of the eight Presented Scholars fell on the demon turtle at the same time, and its blood and energy were rapidly consumed.

The demon turtle created a water shield around itself to withstand the dense attacks of the Presented Scholars, then suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the nearest Presented Scholar, opening its mouth and biting down.

The Presented Scholar's energy armor lasted only half a breath before it crumbled. With a crunch, the Presented Scholar was bitten in half at the waist, and the demon turtle swallowed the upper half of the body before swallowing the rest.

"Beast!" Mr. Yu cursed, spitting out blood as the power of the fifth "Blue Blood and Fiery Heart" technique appeared.

"You can't kill me! I'll eat Chen Xibi and kill you all!"

The demon turtle no longer retreated into its shell and continued to withstand the attacks of the crowd, pursuing the person carrying Chen Xibi.

It emitted an even greater aura of demonic energy, causing all the soldiers and Child Scholars to collapse to the ground, and even the Talented Scholars' legs went weak, making them slower as they fled. Only Fang Yun's Courage to Write trembled for a moment before returning to normal, allowing him to continue running.

Fang Yun clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, watching as the Presented Scholars sacrificed their lives to attack while he could only run away, filled with shame.However, Fang Yun knew that his power was limited, and he couldn't use the Bi Xue Dan Xin until he became a Presented Scholar. The demon turtle still had a powerful defense, and unless a Talented Scholar's war poetry had at least six layers of treasure light and had a poem soul with the power to penetrate the turtle shell, it would be impossible to harm the demon turtle.

"If only my literary position were high enough! If only my literary position were high enough..." Fang Yun repeated this sentence in his heart with grief and indignation as he ran.

The stars were shining brightly, and the waning moon was hanging low. In the dark forest, the demon turtle was like a running hill. Anyone in its path would either be knocked to death or trampled to death, or killed by the snake poison contained in its blood.

Along the way, more than thirty people were killed.

Fang Yun and the Talented Scholars hurriedly avoided the demon turtle, but a Talented Scholar from the third class was too close to the demon turtle and was bitten by it.

Blood splattered, and the demon turtle slowly chewed, making a crisp sound.

All the students' faces turned pale, and a feeling of sorrow and grief surged in their hearts. They didn't expect that their fellow student, who had studied, drank, and fought together with them, would be eaten alive like this.

"He said he would participate in the state exam in September! He could have become a Presented Scholar in four months! He said he would settle down his family after becoming a Presented Scholar and go to Yuhai City to kill demons, but..." Lu Yu burst into tears.

When the demon turtle heard the crying, it turned its head and gave a sinister voice, "No need to cry, it will be your turn soon! No one can escape!"

"I'll fight you!" Li Yuncong immediately wrote "Jing Ke's Assassination of Qin" with his brush.

The Presented Scholars followed him, but they were not as fast as the demon turtle.

"Nonsense! Run away now!" Mr. Wang shouted from afar.

"Can we escape?" Lu Yu wiped away his tears and, like Li Yuncong, wrote "Jing Ke's Assassination of Qin" stroke by stroke.

"I'll fight too!" Ning Zhiyuan shouted and started to discuss military strategies on paper.

Watching the speed of the demon turtle, Fang Yun finally understood that there was no way to escape now. This demon turtle was too powerful, and there was no choice but to fight desperately.

Fang Yun leaned against a big tree, took out a scroll from his backpack, handed it to Li Yuncong beside him, and gave Chen Xibi's mountain rock inkstone to Lu Yu.

"Protect me."

The Talented Scholars around him were suddenly stunned because Fang Yun had said these three words before he performed "Capturing the King" when they were surrounded by more than a hundred demon tribes in the early morning.

"Okay!"

All the Talented Scholars were inspired, and each of them had a never-before-seen glimmer of hope in their eyes.

Everyone immediately stood in front of Fang Yun, using their flesh and blood to protect him.

Lu Yu stimulated the power of the mountain rock inkstone, and a small mountain shadow fell on Fang Yun.

Li Yuncong unfolded his war painting, which was "Running Bulls" with the signature of the famous painter Hu Moyuan. On it were thirty armored bulls, each with a steel horn.

Li Yuncong immediately put his right hand on Hu Moyuan's private seal, infused it with his talent, and saw the war painting flying into the air. Thirty bulls fell down, and finally, thirty armored bulls with steel horns appeared in front of Fang Yun.As long as Li Yuncong gave the order, these armored bulls would charge forward. These armored bulls were illusory in form, but because they were made of elemental energy, their strength was three times stronger than that of ordinary armored bulls!

When Li Yuncong used "The Running Bull Diagram," Fang Yun took out the holy page given to him by the magistrate of Cai County, dipped it in dragon's blood ink, closed his eyes, and countless poems flashed in his mind.

There were too many poems, but there were not many war poems. Even if there were, either they were difficult to kill the demon turtle, or Fang Yun's talent was not enough to write them.

Finally, Fang Yun thought of a poem to kill the enemy.

At this moment, the people in front of Fang Yun were all looking forward, while the people behind him were blocked by a broken tree and could not see him.

Fang Yun opened his eyes and was about to write, but suddenly, Nu Nu spat out a mouthful of blood towards the tip of the Demon Slaying Pen, and the blood mixed with the ink emitting a fragrant smell. Fang Yun took a glance at Nu Nu, who had a dim look and jumped onto the backpack behind Fang Yun.

Fang Yun took a deep breath and began to write the poem.

Find the original at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

"The wind rustles through the trees in the forest."

Layers of treasure light immediately appeared on the paper.

At this moment, Fang Yun was influenced by the Fivefold Azure Blood Pill, and he had five layers of treasure light. With the Demon Slaying Pen, he had another layer of treasure light.

Dragon's blood ink added three layers of treasure light, but the treasure light was still increasing. Soon, it reached nine layers of treasure light, which was one layer more than normal. Fang Yun knew that there was no other power except for Nu Nu's blood.

Then, the treasure light of nine layers suddenly doubled, becoming four layers of eight layers of treasure light.

The holy page had the ability to double. It was ineffective against other treasure light, but it had the effect of doubling the power of war poems and had the effect of doubling the power of pen and ink.

The people who were originally protecting Fang Yun in front felt a bright light behind them and subconsciously turned their heads to look back. Five layers of treasure light covered the holy page!

This meant that no matter what poem Fang Yun wrote, it now had nearly five times the power!

"How come there is so much treasure light in just one sentence?" Lu Yu was still a teenager and couldn't help but exclaim. Even those who didn't turn their heads looked back and stared dumbfounded as Fang Yun continued to write the second sentence.

"The general draws his bow at night."

The original treasure light appeared.

"Seeking the white feather at dawn."

The first treasure light appeared.

After writing the third sentence, Fang Yun's body trembled, sweat oozed from his forehead, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and the pen in his hand could not fall.

His talent was not enough.

"This poem should have a talent of two inches to be written, but my current talent is only a little over one inch. It's too difficult! But I will never give up! They can sacrifice with the Azure Blood Pill, and I, Fang Yun, can also sacrifice for righteousness!"

The Palace of Literature trembled slightly, and the strange book world suddenly flew out five golden characters, the first five characters of the main text of "The Song of Righteousness."

"The heavens and earth have righteousness!"

The five golden characters flew into the drop-shaped Courage to Write, and the Courage to Write suddenly burst into a brilliant light, absorbing all the power of the stars in the Palace of Literature, and finally projecting a beam of starlight onto the talent.

The talent immediately increased temporarily.

Fang Yun continued to write.As Fang Yun wrote the fourth line, the demonic turtle suddenly stopped and turned its head to look at Fang Yun. Its gaze fell on the sacred page with six layers of multicolored light, revealing a hint of panic and immense greed in its eyes.

"It's actually a human genius, that kind of power can threaten me! His talent is different, even more attractive to me than that Imperial Scholar! If I devour him, I'll surely be able to break free from this false dragon form and transform into a dragon-turtle! I mustn't let him complete it! Roar…"

Li Yuncong suddenly shouted, "Protect Fang Yun! Armored bulls, attack!"

Although the demonic turtle could no longer let out a dragon roar, its voice contained its blood essence's power, aimed solely at Fang Yun. It could have interrupted Fang Yun, but with the power of "Mountain Ode" in place, Fang Yun remained unaffected.

After roaring, the demonic turtle immediately rushed towards Fang Yun, believing that it could stop him. Even if it couldn't, it could just retreat into its shell. After all, it was just a Talented Scholar's War Poetry, and it couldn't possibly break its shell, even if its blood essence and shell had already been weakened by so many Presented Scholars.

Those armored bulls were not real bulls, but rather condensed from elemental energy. They were not afraid of the demonic turtle's roar and charged head-on.

"Get out of my way!" The demonic turtle sprinted with all its might, but the power of the thirty elemental armored bulls was too strong, slowing its speed.

The seven Presented Scholars behind Fang Yun recited the War Poetry "Surging Waves" in unison with their eloquent speech.

The demonic turtle let out a loud roar, and the false dragon pearl floated above its head. Then, a massive amount of floodwater poured out from the false dragon pearl, dispersing the armored bulls and rushing towards Fang Yun.

Just as the flood was about to hit, seven huge waves appeared in front of the flood, firmly blocking it.

"It's not in the stone ridge!"

As Fang Yun finished the last line, another layer of poetic soul light and a layer of inherited light appeared on the sacred page.

Eight layers of light covered the sacred page.

Fang Yun looked up at the demonic turtle, his gaze sharp as a sword.
