Invincible Soul Emperor

The Old Turtle raised a gigantic claw, swiftly striking towards Wu Chang. Wu Chang only felt darkness before his eyes, then was hit by that formidable force, his whole body crashing to the ground like a kite with broken strings, spurting blood from his mouth.

He struggled to stand up, but the Old Turtle’s attacks, like a storm, gave him no chance to breathe.

Every attack was like Mount Tai crushing down, completely destroying Wu Chang’s defenses. Wu Chang’s True Qi gradually dried up, his body suffering heavy blows, unbearable pain.

"You fool!" The Old Turtle roared angrily, "You’ve found the wrong opponent today! Let me show you what real power is!"

Wu Chang was powerless to resist, only able to passively endure the Old Turtle’s attack. He felt pain in every inch of his body, bones seemingly about to shatter.

Wu Chang gritted his teeth, feeling deeply fearful in his heart.

This Old Turtle is indeed powerful!

That damned Xue Wei said finding this fellow would lead to the way forward!

Xue Wei is setting me up everywhere!

Once I’m out, I’ll definitely report this to the Saint Heir!

However, the strength of this old guy in front of me is too formidable, he just used quite a bit of energy.

Yet there’s no way to shake this old guy at all!

So even if I continue fighting, I’ll only end up dead!

"Stop... stop!" Wu Chang finally couldn’t endure it, crying out painfully, "I was wrong, please... stop!"

The Old Turtle stopped the attack, coldly looking down at Wu Chang: "Do you know you’re wrong now?"

Wu Chang’s face was full of pain, weakly said: "I... I was wrong, I shouldn’t have been so arrogant, please spare me..."

The Old Turtle snorted coldly: "Your attitude isn’t worth my forgiveness. Xue Wei means nothing to me! Let alone a little human like you."

Wu Chang painfully lowered his head, trembling all over: "I understand, please spare me... I’ll accept the challenge if you’d just give me a chance..."

The Old Turtle’s gaze remained full of sternness and majesty, but his anger slightly subsided.

The Old Turtle slowly said: "Since you are willing to accept the challenge, I’ll give you a chance. However, if there is a next time, you won’t be so lucky."

Wu Chang gritted his teeth, nodded: "I understand, thank you elder, thank you elder..."

Wu Chang appeared outwardly subservient and respectful.

However, inside, another scene played out.

Wu Chang angrily cursed in his heart: "Damn old turtle! How dare you treat me like this, I’ll make you pay when I get the chance!"

He bowed his head with a face full of anger, heart filled with hatred towards the Old Turtle.

He then thought of Xue Wei, his inner fire growing stronger: "That bastard Xue Wei! If it weren’t for him sending me here, I wouldn’t be in this situation. He hides and enjoys himself while I take risks, truly damnable!"

Wu Chang cursed Xue Wei and the Old Turtle harshly in his heart, but his face had to appear respectful.

The Thousand-Year Elder Gui looked at Wu Chang’s expression, seemingly sensing something.

Yet it spoke no more, only coldly saying: "Since you’re willing to accept the challenge, then prepare well. Remember not to play tricks, otherwise the consequences will be unbearable."

Wu Chang nodded, faking a grateful smile: "The elder teaches well, the elder teaches well, rest assured."

The Old Turtle turned around, slowly walking towards the depths of the cave, its voice echoing in the cave: "Humph!"

Elsewhere.

In the simple guest room courtyard, sunlight spilled into the yard, tree shadows swaying, a gentle breeze bringing a hint of coolness. In a corner of the courtyard, several unknown flowers and plants were planted, the air filled with a faint fragrance.

Xiao Xiao was standing at the room’s entrance, carefully tidying her clothes.

She wore a pale purple dress, hair neatly combed, face adorned with light makeup, looking especially beautiful and charming. She seemed ready to go out, appearing somewhat hurried and anxious.

Just then, Xue Feng suddenly appeared at the courtyard entrance, seeing Xiao Xiao like this.

A bit puzzled, he walked forward, asking with concern: "Xiao Xiao, you’ve been elusive these days, and today you’re dressed so beautifully. Where are you going?"

Xiao Xiao was obviously startled hearing Xue Feng’s voice.

Her hand paused, but soon regained composure, barely showing a smile, saying: "Is it Xue Feng? I’m just going out for some matters, I’ll be back soon."

Xue Feng walked closer, carefully observing Xiao Xiao, laughing: "You’ve been so mysterious these days, someone might think you’ve secretly found some Peerless Secret Manual!"

Xiao Xiao’s eyes flickered, initially not daring to meet Xue Feng’s gaze.

But hearing Xue Feng’s words, she burst into laughter: "Haha, Xue Feng, how’s that possible? Within your Xue Family, if I were to get a Peerless Secret Manual, I’d probably be caught in the next second."

"Haha, that’s true, Little Girl Xiaoxiao, our Xue Family’s Peerless Secret Manual is unattainable even if outside experts teamed up. However, Little Girl Xiaoxiao, these days I’ve been busy and neglected you."

Xue Feng looked apologetically at Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao quickly shook her head: "There’s no such thing! If you have things to do, Xue Feng, go ahead and handle them!"

"Ah, Miss and Brother Ye asked me to take care of you, I can’t just leave you here alone. Also, lately, I’ve seen you always running north towards the Xue Family."

Xue Feng seemed to have thought of something.

Xiao Xiao’s heart tightened upon hearing about the Xue Family’s north side.

In that place, only Xue Wei resides, and Xue Feng and others hate Xue Wei, if they know I went to find Xue Wei, wouldn’t it cause discontent?

Thinking this, Xiao Xiao immediately smiled faintly: "Haha, I’ve found the scenery there pretty these days, and there aren’t many people. It’s perfect for my cultivation, so I’ve been heading there."

Xue Feng didn’t think deeply about Xiao Xiao’s words, instead smiling and nodding: "Xiao Xiao, if you’re going there I must remind you. Xue Wei also lives there, so be careful when cultivating in the north, don’t get involved with him."

Xiao Xiao immediately nodded: "Mm-hmm, Xue Feng, I remember. By the way, Xue Feng, did you come for something?"

Upon hearing her question, Xue Feng’s expression suddenly turned serious.

"Xiao Xiao, I came to find you with an important matter, though things aren’t too big at the moment."

Xiao Xiao, seeing Xue Feng’s expression, immediately sensed something serious.

She looked around, made sure no one was around, then hurriedly pulled Xue Feng into her courtyard.
