Azure Wind Secret Realm In that remote corner, another group of people arrived, specifically four disciples from the Three Factions. This usually tranquil place was destined to become lively today.
"That's right, this is the spot. Look, there are still signs of a struggle. Oh, and over there are two corpses." The four carefully surveyed their surroundings and finally confirmed they had reached their destination.
"These must be disciples from your Yunxing Sect. It's a pity they lacked self-awareness; without the strength, they still dared to seek such a tremendous opportunity." Wu Yang glanced at the disfigured corpses and couldn't help but sneer.
"Wu Yang, don't be so sarcastic. Without them, how would we have this opportunity? You should actually thank them." Jiang Buhui from the Yunxing Sect naturally had to respond, as this also represented the face of the Sect to some extent.
"Don't forget our purpose for coming here; it should be that Earth Armored Turtle. I've never seen one so large before." Su Xu reminded the two, pointing at a bald hill in the distance.
"Hmph, no matter how big it is, can we not handle a mere beast with so many of us? The key issue is how to divide the thirteen Tortoise Shell Fragments afterward; we need to clarify that first. Our Tiger Howl Sect disciples won't work for nothing."
"What's there to discuss? Each family takes four fragments; as for the last one, our Azure Wind Sword Sect has fewer people than you, so we'll withdraw."
"Hmph, at least you know your place. Even if you Azure Wind Sword Sect want to compete for it, I fear you won't have the capability by then. If it weren't for your face, getting four fragments would be too much for you Azure Wind Sword Sect." Wu Yang spoke harshly, but Su Xu wouldn't engage in a dispute here; it would be foolish to create conflict before they even secured their prize.
"Alright, let's first deal with this Earth Armored Turtle, and then you can decide on the last fragment's ownership! Besides, we still don't know if this Profound-Level Cultivation Method information is true or not; there's no need to get so tangled up right now." Su Xu chuckled lightly.
"If that's the case, then the three of us will take action first and test the strength of this Earth Armored Turtle." After pondering for a moment, Jiang Buhui tentatively suggested.
"We agree; you all stay vigilant in the Surroundings, in case others come." Driven by his desire for the Profound-Level Cultivation Method, Wu Yang temporarily set aside his obsession with the last Tortoise Shell Fragment.
"I naturally agree as well." Su Xu shrugged and had no objections to this proposal.
The three exchanged cautious glances and approached carefully. Although they pretended to look down on the Earth Armored Turtle, once they made their move, they were still extremely careful, raising their spirits to the highest level.
Their current cultivation had been earned through constant struggle and hardship, so they naturally understood that caution is key. On the path of a martial artist, even the slightest oversight could lead to losing one's life.
"Slash!" As they got closer to the Earth Armored Turtle, all three unleashed their strongest attacks. Dazzling Sword Light, infused with immense power, struck against the Tortoise Shell. In an instant, it was like a blooming firework, with a series of explosive sounds echoing one after another.
However, when all their attacks landed on the Earth Armored Turtle, which was about the size of a small hill, they had no effect whatsoever. Their martial skills could shatter even hard stones, but now, looking at the completely undamaged Tortoise Shell, they were momentarily stunned.
"This Earth Armored Turtle has such impressive defense; this is troublesome," Jiang Buhui said, shaking his somewhat numb hand and looking at the Earth Armored Turtle with a grim expression.
"Although this Earth Armored Turtle is relatively rare, some people have encountered it before. However, I've never heard of its defense being this formidable. Even a Warrior Strongman would likely struggle to break through," Su Xu added, his expression not much better.
"It seems that this method of attack won't work. If this Earth Armored Turtle keeps hiding inside its shell, we won't have any chance at all. Is there any way to lure it out? As long as we can sever its head, even the strongest defense would just be for show," Wu Yang said, his eyes flickering as he quickly brainstormed.
"Let's try attacking again; I think it will come out to retaliate. Otherwise, how did the two people here die? Looking at their wounds, they clearly weren't caused by anything human-made. So..." Su Xu's thoughts were also meticulous as he quickly connected the events. His gaze shifted around the Earth Armored Turtle as if searching for something.
The other two turned their attention to a spot at the edge of the small hill where there were faint traces of blood; it was evident that it had attacked with its claws before. Since it had attacked previously, it would likely do so again.
The three joined forces once more and launched another round of attacks without stopping. They surrounded the small hill, striking down one sword after another. Although their power was considerable, at most it only shook off some debris and dust.
Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted. It was hard to describe that sound; if one had to find a similar reference, it might resemble part of a cow's bellowing.
"Stop! It's awake now. Let's assess the situation first," Wu Yang shouted immediately and quickly retreated to keep his distance. Dealing with such a large Fierce Beast required utmost caution.
Su Xu and Jiang Buhui also stepped back, watching from a distance.
Suddenly, the small hill that had been standing still shook twice. The first thing to emerge was four thick legs, which were as robust as Brute's waist. When they hit the ground, dust was kicked up, and the ground cracked and sank slightly.
Next, a dark head appeared, with two eyes gleaming coldly, staring at Wu Yang and the other two. It seemed very angry that these three had disturbed its sleep.
As for the tail behind it, the three did not pay attention. Their eyes were fixed on the head of the Earth Armored Turtle, thinking about how to strike successfully to take down this Fierce Beast.
Both sides stared at each other for more than ten breaths. The Earth Armored Turtle then moved its thick limbs and walked over, causing the ground to tremble with each step. If they got too close, even standing would become a problem.
"Alright, everyone give it your all now and seize the opportunity. One strike to kill; if you need to coordinate, just say so in advance." This time, the three could be considered united in their efforts; it was worth it for the Profound-Level Cultivation Method.
The three and the turtle engaged in a chaotic battle, or rather, the three were dodging its attacks. They avoided the Earth Armored Turtle's strikes and then launched their own attacks. This time their targets shifted to the turtle's limbs and head. However, the results were still not as expected.
Although the limbs and head of the Earth Armored Turtle did not have the astonishing defense of its back's Tortoise Shell, they were still covered with palm-sized scales. Each sword strike only produced a few sparks without any significant results.
"Damn it, this Earth Armored Turtle's defense is simply unbreakable!" After continuous attacks, Wu Yang shouted furiously with fire in his eyes. The Profound-Level Cultivation Method was right in front of him, but this feeling of helplessness made him furious.
"This kind of consumption isn't a solution. In the end, we will be the ones at a disadvantage; let's stop and think of a plan!" Su Xu dodged an attack from the Earth Armored Turtle and retreated far away without attacking.
Although the Earth Armored Turtle had unbeatable defense, its speed was a major flaw; it was much slower than them. In the end, it could only watch as the three left. It roared angrily a few times before helplessly lowering its flag and returning to its original spot, seemingly planning to continue sleeping.
Seeing this situation, the three did not stop; they were still troubled about how to break through the Earth Armored Turtle's defense. If they couldn't breach its defense, discussing anything else would just be a waste of time.
A moment passed, and Wu Yang and the others still wore worried expressions, unable to think of a good solution.
"Do we really have to give up? This is a Profound-Level Cultivation Method! How can we let such an opportunity slip away?" Jiang Buhui said, scratching his head in frustration, his tone filled with despair.
"It’s impossible; we can’t give up on such an opportunity. There must be a way, there must be a way," Wu Yang said anxiously as he paced back and forth, occasionally glaring fiercely at the Earth Armored Turtle lying motionless on the ground. If looks could kill, it would have died dozens of times already.
"Why don’t we find some help? Clearly, we are powerless. But we can’t just give up like this; maybe others have a solution. At that time, we..." Su Xu suggested.
"Find others? Will there even be a share left for us then? If that’s the case, it would be better if no one gets anything!" Wu Yang interrupted rudely. His eyes were like those of a Fierce Beast, filled with rage and ferocity. He was determined to obtain the Profound-Level Cultivation Method and did not want anyone else to interfere. He knew that if other capable individuals arrived, there might not be any share left for them at all. Thus, he was very opposed to this idea.
"Then what do you suggest? I’m out of ideas. If any of you can solve this Earth Armored Turtle problem, I would willingly give up one Tortoise Shell Fragment."
His words left the three of them stunned, and the atmosphere fell silent again.
"If you’re all willing to part with one Tortoise Shell Fragment, I could give it a try." A sudden voice broke the silence.
At this, Wu Yang and the others’ expressions darkened even further. They hadn’t expected someone else to be here, lurking nearby. They had clearly checked their surroundings before and found no one. It seemed this person either had greater strength than them or possessed exceptional stealth skills.
"Who are you? Show yourself!" Wu Yang shouted angrily, his eyes fixed on the direction from which the voice came. His hands trembled as they gripped his Longsword tightly, as if he would strike at any moment.
Jiang Buhui and Su Xu also appeared vigilant, ready to act against the newcomer at any time.
